NEW BLOOMFIELD, Miss, JAN 2, 1880.
I wish to say to you that have been suffering
for the last five years with severe itching all
over. I have heard of Hop Bitters and have
tried it. have used up four bottles, and it
has done NE more good than all the doctors
and medicines that they could use on or with
me- am old and poor but feel to bless you
for such relief by your medicine and from
torment of the Doctors 1 have had fifteen
doctors at me. One gave me seven ounces of
solution of arsenic; another took four quarts of
blood from me- All they could tell was that it
was skin sickness. Now, after these fou bot
ties of your medicine, my skin is well, clean
and smooth as ever. HENRY KNocHE.

The New York Contest.

1t is most unfortunate that the New York
Republicans cannot agree upon Senatorial
Candidates and fill the vacancies caused by
the resignation Of Messrs. Conkling and
Platt. There is little prospect Of the selec-
ton of Lapham and Miller, and every indica-
ton of continuance of the deadlock. The
objection 50 persistently urged against the
caucus nominees, that their selection would
give the House into the control of the DEM
ocrats, is one of weight and is evidently
having much effect.
In the present emergency il is highly i'm
portant that the Presidency of the Senate
and the Speakership of the House shall be
held by the Republicans; for otherwise the
fruits of the election may be lost, and the
result aimed at by the people defeated.
Party loyalty and the best interests of tho
Nation demand of the New York Republi-
cans immediate action and a harmonizing
of their differences. Both factions should
be governed by this spirit, and while it is the
right Of the majority to rule, it will not be
justified in pressing the minority too heavi-
ly. The important thing is to elect two
able and honest Republican Senators.

PROVIDENCE j Journal: The journal has
made no allusion to the atrocious and inhu-
man insinuations made against Vice Presi-
dent Arthur and ex-senator Conkling in re-
lation to the attempt upon the life Of the
President, and their conduct and feeling un-
der the catastrophe, regarding them merely
as the ebullitions of excited feeling, not
really sincere, and to be dissipated by the
first sober thought, AID not compatible with
either ordinary intelligence or humanity.
That they have made no way with the great
bulk Of the nation we are convinced, but
there is enough in the threatening letters ad-
dressed to the Vice President, and the Ian
guage of rancorous and hysterc newspapers
and unbalanced individuals to make it i'm
perative, however discreditable, that there
should be occasion to denounce them as fol-
ly and inhumanity, wholly unjustifed by
the lives ard characters of the persons ac-
cused. The nation, as we have elsewhere
said, has behaved with great GOODNESS and
judgment under the catastrophe; but there
are persons whose minds are unbalanced by
the agitation and excitement, and are mani
Testing it in q very painful and discreditable
way. 1t is an insult to persons of ordinary
humanity, not to say of conspicuous public
service and long official career, to offer to
defend them from SO cruel and foul suspic-
ions, and we shall not do it, confidently
trusting that returning wisdom and calm
ness will sweep the calumnies away like the
foul brood Of night and into absolute oblivi-
on, except as the results of disturbing ex-
citement generated in the minds of very few

direct contributions There was no trouble
about that. Our people would have given
their last dollar, and what wanted to do was
to ship all the cotton to Europe and draw
against it. 1t would have given us unlimited
means. Conscriptions aud impressments kept
our people dissatisfied. There was no trouble
about getting recruits for the army, but to drag
a man away from home and put him into
strange regiment, with strange officers over
him, made him prisoner rather than . SOL

ing orders, but that didn't worry me- went

PREPARING FOR WAR.

In 1855 had talked over this question of
the abolition of slavery with Napoleon III,
with Gladstone and with Palmerston. / fore
saw the war then and was for preparing for IL.
Both Napoleon and the English Government
would have recognized US in a moment but
for slavery and knew it; but Davis stood in
my way Of meeting the objections OF the for
eign powers as expressed to me, therefore
resigned. 1 knew that our success depended
upon such recognition. When l went to Eu-
rope after the war was more than ever con-
firmed in the wisdom of the policy l would
have adopted.
Yes, we had queer Government. / re-
member one day secret agent OF the English
Government stepped up to me and said:
Mr. Secretary, where can l find the State
Department.
in my hat, sir, and the archives in my coat
pocket"
"What do you think of Mr.. Davis's discus
sion of the constitutional rights of the States?"
Il do not care anything about Mr.. Davis's
discussion OF the constitutional rights OF the
States. What earthly sense is there in our
discussing questions that are the natural out
growths of our form of Government after the
war has destroyed them? 1t is the sheerest
nonsense, and will have no earthly effect upon
any section of the country.
Mr. Davis's book may be bought or read
either from desire to do charitable thing
for the author, or out of curiosity. do not
want to say anything unkind about Mr.. Davis,
because he has never done me any harm. 1t
is fair, however, to say that Mr.. Davs's book
is very able disluisition on the rights Of the
States. I agree with him."

"What is your Judgment about the contro-
versy between Davis and Gen. Johnston?"
Johnston is right. lie is as petulant as an
old maid, but he has got the right OF the diff
ferences between Mr. Davis and himself The
trouble was, that Davis was constantly inter-
fering with his military commanders, and re-
warding his pets at the expense of better men.
A real ground of the difficulty between John
ston and Davis grew out of the question OF
rank. Why, after the government was moved
to Richmond, had great time getting Leo
into the Confederate service. He was Major
General of Virginia troops, and Davis had
