stroke.

So This affection occurs more par
tieularly in the tropics, bHt-is-occa-
sionally observed in hot weather IN
the temperate zone, in persons who
are exposed to the direct rays of
the sun, and who have at the same
time to undergo exertion. 1t is
therefore, chiefly seen In soldiers
marching during the- heat OF the
day, or in agricultural laborers who
are at work in the fields; yet it has
been known to come at night, in
persons sleeping in the pestilential
atmosphere of overcrOwded and
badly-vent tilated barracks or cabins,
and in children shut up in a sitting
bedroom after having been exposed
to great heat during the day. 1t
would, therefore, be more appropri
ate to speak Of heat stroke, for the
disorder really consists of a great
and sudden rise in the temperature
of the blood, which, in this state,
acts as poison.On the modulla. The
perspiration of the skin is suddenly
arrested, and as the evaporation of
the body is intended TO produce
cold, and thus to neutralize the eff
fects of the external heat, the clos
ure of this safety valve causes a
further rise of temperature, which
paralyzes some or most of the GEN.
ters in the medulla. The worst
kind of heat-s5roke is that in which
the centers for respiration and the
hearts action are affected, as total
asphyxia or syncope is the result.
A person who may be walking in
the street or working in a field is
seen suddenly to drop down as if
shot or struck by lightning, and
dies in minute or two A fatal
issue is in such cases so rapid that
there is no chance for any treat
ment to do good, more especially as
the means which would be of the
first Importance, viz, ice and plen
ty of cold water, are usually not at
once at hand. The second kind of
sunstroke is owing to paralysis OF
the center blood vessels in the me
dulla, whereby apoplexy is caused.
In such instances the symptoms are
not quite so sudden, and death may
often be averted The illness be-
gins with mental disturbance-there
are delusions and hallucinations,
followed by mania, and the patient
may commit suicide or homicide
This stage OF excitement lasts for
short time, and is succeeded by q
period of depression. The patient
becomes sleepy, insensible, and
may die IN the state of profound
apoplexy. Life is, however, often
saved by drenching the person with
cold water, and applying ice to the
head. The over-heated blood is
thereby cooled and the medulla
reused from its torpid condition.

When the Williamson county del

made unanimous by acclamation.
After quiet had been restored the
chairman of the Maury delegation,
at the unanimous request of his
colleague, proposed the name of the
Hon. Edwin L Taliaferro, of Giles,
for Presidential Elector for the
Seventh Congressional district, and
the proposition was unanimously
and enthusiastically carried BY the
convention. fta3 = ~ t.,.I nj
Gen. Whitthorne r having been
loudly called on soon made his ap

the convention by the Chairman as
their nominee, made, a. stirring
speech, accepting the honor confer
red and predicting glorious Victo-
ry in November for the Democracy
from President down. He also
gave graphic account of the har-
monious convention at Cincinnati,
which he attended. .a.. .......
Mr., Taliaferro was then called
out and made a brief and eloquent
response to the call, promising a
cordial support of the nominee of
the convention, and stating tn at
he could not refuse the nomination
of elector so fatteringly rendered
to him. He would not accept it,
however, had it not been the unan-

discarded quiver would seek some bro
ken and crumbling arrow with which

The above words were uttered by
Governor Long, of Massachusetts,, at a
recent Garfield and Arthur ratification
meeting In Boston. Governor Long ev-
identity wants 20 strike his own party
with palsy, for the New York Tribune
said of the CONNECTION Of Ghrfield with
Credit Moblier, few years ago:
James A. Garfield, of Ohio, had ten
shares never paid dollar; received
1929, which, after the Investigation be-
gan, he was very anxious % have con
sidered as a loan from Mr. Oakes Ames
10 himself. Well, the wickedness Of IL
all IL that these men betrayed the trust
Of the people, deceived their cOnstitu
ents, and by eYasions and falsehOod con-
iessed the transactions TO be disgrace
ful."' " ll"i"
The leading republican organ, the
New York Times, also said IN February,
1873:
"The character Of the Credit Mobilier
was no secret. The source OF It's profits
was very well known at the time con-
gressmen bought IL. Though Oakes
Ames may have succeeded in conceal
Ing his own motive, which was TO brbe
congressman, their acceptance OF the
stock was not on that account Innocent.
The dishOnor Of the act as a participa-
tion in an obvious f.aud, still remains.
"Some og them have INDUCED la tes-
timony with reference 10 the matter
which has been 6ontradicted. The
committee distinctly rejects tho testi-
mony of several Of the members. This
can only be done on the ground that IL
is untrue But untrue testimony given
under Oath Is morally, II not legally,
perjury, ...,
"It Is the clear duty Of congress 10
visit with punishment all who took
Credit MobilIer stock from Oakes
Ames. =" .Htat.4I
The Albany Evening Journal, also "A
reliable republican organ, said about
the same time:
"Mr Dawes emerges with complete
vindication. We think Mr.. Kelley, Dir,
Garfield and some others do not stand
quite so well. What Is the
nature OF their offensef Their wrong
was that they did not frankly and fully

must suffer the cOnsequeDcos"
Gov. Long may bave observed also
that the organs Of his party declare that
Gen Hancock Is "ouly soldier !" that
he is 'consplratOr" and ''leads the
enemies OF hIs country" Verify, II
Gov. Longs wishes are fulfilled, there
will be large number OF palsied re-

MY DEAR SIR-I am greatly obliged
for your favor of the thirteenth instant.
Those who suppose do not aoquiesce
in the work of the National Democrat
ic convention, or that | do not sincere
ly desire the election Of its nominee,
know very little of my character
Believing, as l really do, that the pres
erVation of our constitutional govern
ment depends on the success OF the
Democratic party in the coming cleo
ton, were L to hesitate in its candid
support, L feel that would not only
falsify my own record, but commit a
crime against my country. l never as
pired to the office on my account, new
er sought its doubtful honors and Ger
tain labors and responsibilities merely
for the position. My own wishes were
to promote -iEI-could- the good of the
country and to rebuke the spirit of rev
olution which had invaded every sa-
cred precinct of liberty; and when,
therefore, you pronounced the state
ments in question false, you did exact
ly right. Principles, not men," Is the
motto for the rugged crisis in which
we are now struggling. Had 4 been
made the Presidential nominee,I should
have considered it tribute not to me,
but to the principles which I have pro-
claimed and practiced; but shall i
cease to revere those principles because
by mutual political friends another has
been appointed to put them into exeeu-
ton? Neverl Neveri These sir, are
my sentiments, whatever interested
parties may say TO the contrary, and L
desire that all may know and under
stand them. | shall ever hold in CRATE
full remembrance the faithful friends
who, hailing from every section OF the
Union, preferred me, by their votes and
other expressions of confidence, both
in and out of the convention, and shall
do them all the justice to believe that
they were governed by patriotic mo-
tives; that they did not propose simply
to aggrandize my personal fortunes
but TO save their country through me,
and that they will not suffer anything
Ake. personal preferences or jealoustes
to stand between them and their mani
fest duty have the honor TO be, dear
