SENATOR NJ. G. BUT LER has been asked
what he proposes TO do about Colonel Cash's

that Cash charges Butler with being retailer

be pair of them. It's pity they won't fight

Election, Tuesday, October u

ton. Mr.. Townshend endeavored to
smuggle a Free Trade bill into the
House without its going through the
COMMITTEE, but General Garfield
promptly moved to. kill the measure by
sending it to the Ways and Means Com
mittee, ard after sharp fight the bill
was SO disposed of by a vote of lis to
III. Only three Republicans voted
against Garfeld's motion, whilst all the
Democrats but twelve stood by the bill.
That is a Tariff record which ranks
General Garfield among the staunch and
true friends of Protection to American

Like the sound of distant choirs;
'Tis message gleefully winging
Over the telegraph wires.
And what are the glad wires humminl
AS they stretch in the sunlight away
"I'm coming, coming, coming

And now / hear sObbing,
Like some soul sitting alone,
With heart that is wearily throbbing,
And lips that can only moan
Oh! what are the sad wires signing
AS they reach through the darkness Of
night?
"He is dying, dying, dying
Come on the wings Of light"
The Utilization of laughter
Next falls upon my ear,
And burst of mad mirth after,
Like the sound of distant cheer.
And what is the gleeful story,
That the round wires spread afar!
"OUR NINE is crowned with glory
Zip, hip, hip, hurraT
Oh! what are the wires relating,
Morning, noon, and night?

No Encouragement for Crippled
Soldiers.

From what can be learned, not less
than thirty letters have been written to
Chairmen Wallace and Barnum, and to
General Hancock, by ex-soldiers in the
Departments, asking if they are to be
turned out in case of change" No
reply comes to these letters except a bare
acknowledgment of receipt. The Demo-
cratic managers seem indisposed to open
up an extensive correspondence on this
theme. 1t is tender.
Since the capture of the Capitol" by
the Democrats they have turned seventy
seven Union soldiers out, many of them
wounded and crippled. The following
are the names of those who are wounded
or crippled, or both:

THE WORLD AGAIN.

From The New York World, May 30. 1872
In the midst of the organized carnival of
corruption which has been going on for so
many weary months and years at Washing
ton, it is really satisfactory to catch glimpses
now and then of honesty for honesty's sake,
aud without consideration ofparty. General
Garfield, of ONO, is Republican Of Repub-
licans. but it is his simple due which we
gladly pay him, to admit that he has done
more than any other single member of his
party during the last session of Congress to
show that it is not impossible for man to
act with Congressional majority, and yet to
keep his self-respcct and the respect of hon.
est men.

Cause and Effect.

The main cause of nervousness is in
digestion, and that is cansed by weak
ness of the stomach. No one can have
sound nerves and good health without
using Hop Bitters to strengthen the
stomach, purify the blood, and keep the
liver and kidneys active, to carry off all
the poisonous and waste matter of the
system. See another column.

JUDGE JEREMIAH S. BLACK.


From an interview i'll The Philadelphia Press
August 80, 1850.
With regard to the Credit Mobilier trans
action l have said, and will always say, that
believe that Gen. Garfield told me me the
truth ABOUT it. He would not do anything
else. l watched the development of the in
vestigation, and | saw nothing in that to alter
my opinion. will tell you, Gen. Garfelds
hands were clean in that transaction, as he
always has kept them, but he unfortunately
adopted the false defence OF these who ex-
pected Oakes Ames to swear them through,
instead of standing on his true and good de
fence and leaving the guilty to their fate.
There was his devotion to party. 1t was urg-
ed upon him as party necessity, and he
yielded to that consideration. as he always
will. His party demanded the sacrifice, and
he made it. For that reason the Credit Mo-
bilier affair has not hurt him with his party,
and will not and ought not. l believe firmly
in Gen. Garfeld's personal integrity, and
base my Judgment upon an intimate knowl-
edge of bis private walk and conversation.

the officials, of high and low degree at
the Capitol, are able bodied citizens from
the solid South. From this it will be
seen that ex-soldiers in that department
will have to take their chances in case of
"a change" and the chances are alto
gether that they will be decapitated. In
many instances ex-sOldicrs of Demo-
cratic proclivities will be put in their

SENATOR THURMAN AND THE WORLD.
From the New York World, October TO- 1873.
Senator Thurman lets up Gen. Garfield, of
Ohio, in this amiable fashion:
"Oakes Ames swears that Garfield got ten
shares, and Garfield says that he did not do
anything of the kind. There was good deal
of talk, but no proof against him, and am
compelled to say that Garfield gets out of it
better than anybody else, and on the whole,
there was not sufficient evidence to fasten
the corruption at his door,"
After considering all the testimony, on the
whole we concur in this view of Mr. Garfield's
connection with the Credit Mobilier.

The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1880-12-16

GEN. E. o. G. Ord's retirement
was officially declared at San An
tonic on the 9th. In taking leave
of his command the veteran officer
salu:
Conformity of the orders of the
President of the United States, the
undersigned relinquishes command
of the military department of Texas.
In parting with command he
has exercised for almost six years,
during period embracing delicate
relations between the United States
of America and the United Mexican
States-relations involving the peace
and friendship of the two republics
it is fitting TO refer TO the Jealous
and intelligent efficiency of the COM
mand. which has passed into histo-
nv as an example of what tact can
do in preserving the peace and Sc
curing the good will of supposed
opponents, when on the voyage OF
war-an example which proves that
the interests of the two countries
require co. cooperation. when good re-
suits are to be achieved.
The respective department annual
reports, for the period under con-
sideration, afford the record made
by the troops in connection with In
dian operations. The services have
been arduous, and the exposure and
hardship patiently endured in wild
districts of country-nOw reclaimed
from savage depredations-are in
separately connected with the civil
cation they have advanced.
In connection with what has been
pointed to in the foregoing, more
than commentator is deserved.
And L now bid farewell to the
officers and enlisted men of the com
mand. My thanks are all | have to
give for w hat they have done.
The weekly democratic statesman. [volume] (Austin, Tex.) 1871-1883, 1880-12-16

The American Public HealthAsso-
citation now meeting in New Orleans,
is a private organization of many
years standing. Last year it met in
Nashville, md it has held its annual
meetings in several of the Eastern
cities. This association, as stated,
is private one, and was organized
several years ago, by some of the
most eminent medical men of the
country. When it met in Nashville
there were two of its members liy-
ing in Texas, Col. Jordon, late of
Albania, and now of the Cen
trail railway, and DIR. Rutherford, of
Houston. The quarantine conven-
ton, which is being held in
New Orleans at the same time
was set on foot as Mississippi val
ley sanitary movement, and Gov
ernors of states were invited to
name delegates to this body. The
doctors who went from Texas under
authority of the governor became
members of the sanitary conven-
ton, and not of the permanent
American Health Association. To
become a member OF this private
body an election by lis members, is
necessary and 1t may be, that some of
our Texas doctors, who attend the sa-
nitary convention, may apply for adj
mis- ion.
