NEW HAVEN, July 8.
 It gives me great pleasure to bear witness to the remarkable skill of Dr. Lighthill and the successful results of his treatment. For the past thirty-s six years had been troubled with catarrhal complaint, which was very annoying and often interfered with my swal- lowing and breathing. Of late years it at tackled my hearing, impairing it to a consid- erable extent, and as it kept constantly in creasing upon me it subjected me to serious inconvenience. One of Dr. Lighthill's pa- tients, finding himself greatly benefited by his treatment, advised me to place myself un- der his care, and happily did so. Dr. Light hill effectually removed the catarrhal com plaint and all it's attendant troubles and re- stored my hearing to it's former perfection and acuteness. know Dr. Lighthill's repu- tation is so well known that any recommen- dation on my part is scarcely necessary, but I feel like discharging duty to the afHiated in New Haven and vicinity to make this pub lie statement of my case, so that others may be enabled to embrace this opportunity of obtaining relief.
 My happy experience of the results of Dr. LghthilTs efforts has taught me to appreci- ate fully the value of specialties in medical practice, and I feel assured that few min utes' conversation with Dr. Lightnill will con vince the most skeptical of the fact that he is 8 master of his profession.

In the Treatment of Deafness, Catarrh and Diseases of the

 NEW HAVEN, August 20, 1880
 Permit me to add my testimony of Dr. Lighthill's skill and success to that of Mir. Cox and others, as. I have every. reason to speak in terms ofShe highest praise of his successful efforts in my behalf. When a month ago appAed to him for relief was great sufferer A catarrh which had af- ficted me for some time past, recently be- came SC. aggravated that it impaired my hear ing and gave rise to such agonizing pain and distress in my head that it nearly drove me insane In fact, such result could scarcely have been otherwise if pr. Lghthi1 had not afforded me such marvelously prompt relief. One treatment proved the efficacy of his method, for when left his office was in condition of comfort and experienced the most inexpressible relief. That night rest ed comfortably, and in the morning felt like Q new man. Ever since then steady i'm provement has taken place in my case, the most stubborn features yielding readily to Dr. Lighthill's skillful management The pain has entirely disappeared, my hearing is restored and troublesome cough, which se- riously alarmed my friends, is almost entire ly gone. My whole system, in fact, has been so much benefited that all my acquaintances notice the favorable change. Like many oth- CTS, had spent much money and time in fruitless efforts to obtain relief before I ap- piled to Dr. Lighthill, and I can therefore the doctor with the confidence of a long experience. I am an employe of the Boston and Air Line Railroad Company, and reside at 267 Atwater street, and will cheer fully substantiate in person what have here put in writing J. H. MEHAFFEY.

A correspondent of the Indianapolis Joas- gGl who has lived nine years in Louisiana gives some interesting information concern ing secret political societies in the South. He writes as follows:
 Cross,'' which planned and executed the bloody riot of July 30, 1866. The police, the fremen and the citizens all belonged, Gun New Orleans, and the horrible massacre in open day was the result. Next come the K. W. O., Knights of the White Cannelia, ," which enrolled from 30, 900 to 50,000 mem- bers in Louisiana, in 1868, and which carried the State for Seymour by more than 4O,O majority. More than 1000 Republicans were killed in that campaign, mostly ne groes, but there were brave white soldiers and gallant officers among the victims. About the same time the Kuklux or stInvisible Empire" was organized, and spread over the whole South. Of that order. 1t is needless to write. Your readers know it's deeds. After it was partially sup pressed by the enforcement law, the White League' sprang up in New Orleans, in June, 1874. This order, like all the others, was a secret, oath-bound society. Within less than three months it grew to immense proportions. The murder of six white Re- publicans at Coushatta and the insurrection in New Orleans in September, 1874, were among its bloody deeds. Afterward changes were made Tn its organization and methods, and the Mississippi plan" was the result. The organization was extended throughout the South and into the North. It differs from all others in this, that the privates or com mon members are not ;ntrusted with the se- crets; they are merely taught to obey orders, and the secret plans are known to the officers only. It was this secret order that managed the tissue ballot frauds of 1878, and that planned and executed the latter frauds in Alabama. By similar methods they are pre- pairing to control Indiana next month. In almost every instance of the assassina- tion of Republicans the very best men have been killed, and it is not true that any respectable class of people condemn political violence. The leaders, the chiefs, and captains of the "White Leagues" and bulldozers are the most respectable citizens. Colonel Ably, of Ouachita, who confessed, or rather boasted, before the Congressional com nIittee that he was the ''chief officer of all the rife clubs in the parish-seven in num- ber-is now State Senator. A Captain Ren- nick, of one of the rife clubs, was elected Representative in 1S78 a lieutenant was elected sheriff another, parish judge; and, in brief, every office has been filled by the men who were active members of these armed clubs. But those same men, when they meet Republicans from the North profess to be op posed to political violence. The very men who, in 1876, rode at the head or armed clubs, and whipped and murdered scores of Republicans, go North, and there declare that they always opposed everything of the kind. For nine yearsI have sought diigent- ly for that ''better clement which is said to exist in the South, and have found it not.

For upward of twenty-five years Dr. Light hill has been at the head of an extensive met ropolitan practice, devoted exclusively to the relief and cure of Deafness, Catarrh, and dis eases of the Throat, Lungs and Nervous Sys- tenn, and it is with pardonab1e pride that he refers to the extraordinary success which at tended his efforts. His recent discoveries are of the highest practical importance, render ing treatment so effectual that relief is expe- rienced at once, and permanent cures are of ten effected in the most stubborn and aggra- vated cases; and it is one of the happy fea- lures of his method that the applications cause neither pain nor distress, and can be readily administered to the most timid or nervous person. A candid opinion will inva- riablJ be given as to the possibilities of a cure and no case will be accepted for treat ment which does not present reasonable chance for success, while those who place themselves under pr. Lighthilrs professional care may rest assured of receiving every ben eft guaranteed by science, skill, and an ex- tensive experience.

From the tk0Vs Ds Os ClArk,
 Pastor Congregational Church, East Ha-
 ven, Conn. It affords me great pleasure to add my tes- timony to that of others in favor of Dr. Lighthi11's success in the cure of catarrh. His treatment of my wife has proved so ben eficial that cheerfully recommend him to the confidence of the afflicted. The catarrh in the case of my wife was of long standing and in it's worst form, against which many remedies had been tried in vain. The very first treatment applied by Dr. Lighthill per manently removed some of the most trouble some features and the results ever since have been of the most gratifying character. Our people may congratulate themselves on hay ing at their command the services of .phy- sician so skillful as Dr. Lighthill in the treat ment of that troublesome disease, catarrh

The discovery that only "white male per sons'' are eligible to membership in the Gro ton Monument Association gives rise to con siderable righteous indignation. It is the more disgraceful when it is recalled that one of the bravest of the brave defenders of Fort Griswo1d was Jordan Freeman, a col ored man, who ran boat-pike through Ma jor Montgomery as he led the assault over the north bastion. There ought to be no celebration on Groton Heights until tha& word ''white'' is plotted out.

Blackburn of Kentucky is to take the stump. It is not stated whether he will take for text the memorable words spoken by him in Congress April 5, 1879, as follows : ''We propose to celebrate the return of the Democrats to power by wiping from the statute books those degrading restrictions on freemen (the election laws ) and we don't propose to stop until we have stricken the last vestige of your war measures from the statute book-until we have an untrammeled election and an unsupervised ballot

The Ministers Daughter.
BY JOHN GREENLEAF WHITTIER.

 In the minister's morning sermon He had told of the primal fall, And how henceforth the wrath of God Rested on each and all. And how, of His will and pleasure, All souls, save chosen few, Were doomed to the quenchless burning, And held in the way thereto. Yet never by faiths unreason A saintlier soul was tried, And never the harsh old lesson A tenderer heart belied. And after the painful service On that pleasant Sabbath day, He walked with his little daughter Thro' the apple-bloom of May. Sweet in the fresh green meadows Sparrow and blaokbird sung; Above him their tinted petals The blossoming orchards hung. Around on the wonderful glory The minister looked and smiled; "How good is the Lord who gives us These gifts from His hand, my child s'Behold in the bloom of apples And the violets in the sward A hint of the old, lost beauty Of the Garden of the Lordi" Then up spake the little maiden. Treading on snow and pink: ''Oh Father these pretty blossoms Are very wicked, think Had there been no Garden of Eden There never had been fall; And if never a tree had blossomed God would have loved us all." "Hush, child P the father answered, By His decree man fell His ways are in clouds and darkness, But He dOeth all things well. 'tAnd whether by His ordaining To us cometh good or i'll, Joy or pain, or light or shadow, We must fear and love Him still" "Oh, I fear Him Io said the daughter, ''And try to love Him too; But wish He was good and gentle, Kind and loving as you" The minister groaned in spirit AS the tremulous lips of pain And wide, wet eyes uphfted Questioned his own in vain. Rowing his head he pondered The words of the little one; Had he erred in his lifelong teaching? Had he wrong to his Master done? To what grim and dreadful idol Had he lent the holiest name? Did his own heart, loving and human, The God of his worship shame7 And To from the bloom and greenness, From the tender skies above, And the face of his little daughter He read 8 lesson of love. No more as the cloudy terror Of Sinai's mount of law But as Christ in the Syrian lilies The vision of God he saw. And as when, in the clefts of Horeb, Of old was His presence known, The dread Ineffable Glory Was Infinite Goodness alone. Thereafter his hearers noted In his prayers tenderer strain, And never the gospel of hatred Burned on his lips again. And the scofhng tongue was prayerfu1, And the blinded eyes fouud sight, And hearts. as dtnts aforetime. Grew soft in his warmth and light.

tempts have been made to induce him to speak, but ho remains silent. Why is this ? Is it because large part of his party wants those claims paid and intend that they shall be, and he is afraid he will lose votes if he says what he must say in case he says any thing? Is Hancock less of man and patri- ot than Tilden?

We hear good many individuals
asking for an explanation of "Credit
MObilier," and for their information We
give the following brief history of the
same: The term "Credit MObilier" is
French and means literally movable
credit" The Credit MObilier of Amer
lea was corporation within IA corpora
ton. That Is to to say, certain stock
holders of the Union Pacific Railroad, at
the time that road was being built,
formed themselves into "a corporation
with the above title, and took contracts
for building the road. In effect the
stockholders in the ring contracted
with themselves to construct the road,
and of course by contracting with
themselves and having control of the
Board of Directors in the Pacific Rail-
road, they We're able to obtain whatever
kind of contracts they desired, in fnnaiy
cases obtaining twice and thri c" he
amount for constructing certa,->AoOr-
tions of the road that the cons Ifrtion
actually cost. The profits viii n We're
very great, We're divided among the
stockholders of the Credit Mobilier. In
order to produce the funds FIR this steal
the road was loaded down with mort

pacity as directors tor the Union Pacific
road authorizing tine mortgage, and in
their capacity rs directors of the Credit
M0bilier, pocketing the proceeds. The
original bonds issued by the govern
ment for the building of the road were
secured by first mortgage, but by the
manipulation of the Credit Mobilier it
was changed to third mortgage, the
mortgages which they had fraudulently
issued, and the proceeds of which they
had stolen taking precedence. Ii was
in the legislation necessary tn bring
about this result that Garfield, Colf;iX
and the other congressman who figured
III the scandal got mixed up, and it was
with view to secure their influence
and prevent threatened investigation
that Cakes Ames, who was Il stock
holder, distributed shares of stock
among Congressman "where it would
do most good" The Congressional in
vcstigation and the death of Cakes
Ames ended the career of the Credit
MObilier. Suits were instituted by the
government to recover the money stolen
by the members of the corporation, but
they were never brought to n conclusion,
and nothing came of il. The plumber
amounted to several millions, and was
never extracted from the pockets of the
Swindlers who got il.
