Catarrhal
POI s ON

Wei De Meyers Treatise ON Catarrh,
explains the following important facts:
l. That Catarrhal Colds become a poi-
sonous infection, AT first local, and finally
constitutional.
.. That, being Constitutional, the infection Ia
beyond the reach OF mere local remedies.
5. That Impurities in the nostrils, are
necessarily swallowed into the stomach and
inhaled into the lungs, thus poisoning the
Digestive, Respiratory and Genito-urinsry organs.
That Catarrhal virua follows the mu-
cous membrane and causes Deafness. Dyspepsis,
Chronic DiarrhGa, Bronchitis, Leucorrhea
and Consumption,
8. That Smokes, Douches, Inhalations, and
Insoluble snufs. cannot possibly remove in
hctious infammations from the organs named.
c. That ansantidote ior Cstarrh must pos
sess an inocu1ative affinity for, and the quality
Of being absorbed by, the purulent mucous
wherever located
Based upon these plain theories, DR.

thought that State would be "good
fighting ground, " with decided pros
poets of Republican success.
The General does not seem in
clined to coneede a 'soEd South" to
the Democrats, and believes that if
the campaign is properly conducted,
Florida and South Carolina will
kick out of the Democratic traces
and again give their electoral votes
to the Republican candidate.
In the course of the conversation
the election of 1876 claimed atten-
ton, aud one Of the party remarked
that it was to be hoped that the
candidate elected next November
would be so unmistakably chosen as
to avoid a repetition of the perilous
occurrences consequent upon our
last Presidential contest, and also
casually referred TO the prevalent
belief among Democrats generally
thai TiIden was fairly elected and
the victim Of a great political out
rage, To this the General rej1ined
most emphatioally, that he believed
that Hayes was fairly chosen, and,
instead of the bare majority afford
ed by 1S5 electoral votes, should
have received the votes of several
southern States, notably and un-
questionably Republican under "a
yOrable conditions for a square cleo
ton, that were secured for Tilden
by the shotgun policy and tissue
ballot system.
From the tenor Of the Generals
I believe he is hope
ful, while admitting that the con

ing in his manner to indicate that he
has any anxiety as to the result
The Generals correspondence
since his nomination has become
ponderous, and the postmaster at
"a village Of probably GOO
people, is doubtless astonished at
the sudden growth of his postal i'm
pOrtanee. It has also been found
to connect the Generals s
residence with the Western Union
Telegraph line, and many visitors
call on him at all hours of the day.
After a pleasant chat Of a couple Of
hours, I took my leave, fully i'm
pressed with the conviction that in

have selected as their leader a no
5ably representative American, to
whose hands the reins of the Gov

GEN. GARFIELD'S LETTER OF AC-
CEPTANCE.
COMMENTS OF THE PRESS.

Philadelphia Press : 'sGeneaI Gar
fields letter, formally accepting the
Republican nomination for the Pres
ideney, is the strongest simple ex-
preston by strong and well trained,
but modest mind, Of the fundament-
al truths and progressive ideas, which
are the faith Of the Republican par
ty."
The N. z Commercial Advertiser
says "The letter, however, as let
ters Of acceptance 90, is creditable to
the writer, and will be satisfactory to
the party. 1t does not promise to
correct every evil in the country, but
promises that if he is elected he viii
do his best so enforce strict obedi-
euee to the Constitution and to the
laws, and to promote as best I may
the interest and honor of the whole
country"
The n. Y. Post says: con the
whole General Garfield merely repre-
sents the leading opinions Of his par
ty with respectability, and no one
who is inclined to them will be alien
ated from them by the manner in
which they are presented by him,
but, on the other hand, he will not
win them adherents from the opposi-
tiOn. The States to which Mr.. Gar
field was bound to look with most
sOlicitude, and to which be should
have addressed his principal argu-
ments, are those EIstern States
which are most determined in their
economic notions, and these will not
regard his letter as in any sense an
Improvement on the platform They
may be cOntented with his profes-
sions, but they viii not kindle to a
glowing enthusiasm
The n. Y. Graphic has these com
ments Gas a whole General Gar
fields letter of acceptance is a clever
campaign document. The para
graphs read smoothly, and the letter
Dears evident traces OF careful prep
aration But Nv. Garfield has been
SO anxious to avoid giving any olfense
to any faction in his purity that he
has refined away the point Of many
of his utteranees. The General is
much too mild on certain topics, and
is silent on others on which he might
well have been outspUken. The
Chicago Convention adopted as its
platform q recital of historical rem
iniscences, interlarded with boasts.
It was thus made the duty Of the
General to 50 write his letter Of ac-
eeptance that it could become the
platform Of his party. His letter is
better than the platform, and VIII

A Remarkable Speech by General
Garfield.

In 1867 General Sheridan was
removed from the command of the
military district Of Louisiana and
Texas because he was given to en-
forcing the reconstruction laws
Of Congress, and protecting all
citizens in their political and civil
rights. Hancock was appointed in
his place because he would favor the
ex-rebels in their lawlessness and
persecution of the Republican ele-
ment. General Garfield, in one Of
his mastery speeches, delivered Jan
uary II, 1868, made a most remark
able allusion to him, divining the
motive which governed his course
in those States, namely, setting his
sails for the Democratic nomination
for tho Presidency! That rather
prophetic statement Of General Gar
field has absolutely been carried out,
as the reader can see by reading the
following extract. It will be borne
in mind it was delivered twelve
years ago:
Mr.. Speaker, I viii not repeat the
long catalogue Of distractions which
he has thrown in the way by virtue
of the power conferred upon him in
the reconstruction law of 1867, but
I will allude to one example where
be has found in a Major General Of
the army a facile instrument with
which to more effsetually obstruct
the work of reconstruction. This case /
is the more painful because otherwise
a meritOriOus officer, who bears hon !
orable scars, earned in battle for the |
Union, has been made a party to |
political madness which has so long
marked the conduct of the President |
This General was sent into the dis
trict of Louisiana and Texas with /
the law of Congress in his hand, a /
law that commands him to see that |
Justice is administered to the people |
of that country, and that no pre-
tense of civil authority shall deter
him from performing his duty, and
yet we find that officer giving lee
lures in the form of proelamatiOns
and orders on what ought to be the
between civil and military
of the Government,
We see him issuing a general order
in which he declares that the civil
should not give way before the mill
tary. We hear him declaring that
he finds nothing in the laws Of
Louisiana and Texas to warrant his
in the civil administra-
ton in those States. It is not for
him TO say which should be first, the
civil or the military, in that rebel
community. It is not for him to
search the defunct laws of LOUisi-
ana and Texas for a guide to his
conduct It is for him to obey the
laws, which he was sent there to exc
cute. 1t is for him to aid in build
ing up civil governments, rather /
than preparing himself to be the |
Presidential candidate Of the party |
which gave him no sympathy when /
he was gallantly fighting the battles
of the country.

A WONDERFUL CHANGE.
WHAT THE DEMOCRACY THOUGHT
OF GENERALS DURING THE
WAR.

Since the Democracy have con
cluded, as their last hope of success,
to try running a real, first class, sue
cessful Union General for President,
it is rather interesting to look back
to the times inst after the war, and
see how Democratic papers talked
about Generals in those days.
Here is q choice sample from the
Pontiac (Mich.) Jefersonian:
"f the Democrats are mean
enough to put IN nomination any
pup for President who ever wore
shoulder-straps during the Abolition
crusade, we hope he will be defeated,
and will do all in our power to &C.
eomplish that end.
And here is another, from the New
York Day Book, just aftor the war
closed:
"Better endure the rule of Non
greljSm for half century than to
sink the last hope of civil liberty in
America by elevating some brutal
military ass to supreme power in the
prostituted name Of Democracy
Then Gen. Hancock was a "pup,
or a "brutal military ass, in the es-
timation Of these Democratic editors,
who are now throwing up their hats
for him, and urging his election

Tie New York Mail is not far out

Tie New York Mail is not far out
of the way:
"The truth is, that, as a rule, the
American people are not apt to make
Presidents out of professional sol
diers Andrew Jackson's military
exploits helped his popularity, but
he had earned fame and a high po-
sition in civil life before he found re-
nown at the cannon's mouth. He
had been United States District At
tOrnev, member of the Tennessee
Constitutional Convention, United
States Senator and Judge of the
State Supreme Court, before he be-
came a great warrior So with Har-
rison, who stood high in Congress
and in his ovu State, and inherited
craftsmanship, like Btyard. Pierce
was rather hurt by his war record,
and had been member of the House
four years and Of the Senate four
years more. He had refused from
Polk the offer of Attorney General
ship and of the War Department.
As regards craftsmanship, compared
with these military Presidents, Han
cock is nowhere. What be might
be no one can guess. He might
draw as well as Beecher, if he took
to preaching. but the odds would be
against him"
