Dyspepsia.

Some of our citizens are afflicted with
it, and those who have it certainly do not
want it. But how to get rid of it? There
are some remedies offered in the market.
not a few-the next man you meet will
give you sure cure-but they don't cure.
Why? Simply because the cure lies with
the individual sufferer, and he cannot
transfer the responsibility to a bottle of
medicine. This is what he tries to do.
He asks the bottle to work miracle
upon him. In the meantime he will be
a spectator. The bottle cannot do it.
Result: Humbug. Further appeal to
friends; more bottle; more. humbug,
and so on. Finally he goes to doctor.
Doctor says, "You must take more exer-
cise." Patient says he is letteT-carrier.
Amazement of doctor. Explosion of ex-
ercise theory. What then ? Ten thousand
devils are at work in the inner man, eX-
perimenting with his liver, his heart, his
mind, torturing him. It all tells him
that his stomach is overworked; that it
calls for rest and return to primitive
simplicity in living. Let him interview
it; ask what abused it. Study carefully
what will agree with it. Persevere and
wait for results. Itwas long time COM
ing by bad road. 1t must go back by
the same way and start over. 1t will not
reach the starting-point tomorrow. 1t
may take year to get back. Then start
and keep right.

An Extra Session of Congress.

The absorbing question of the hour is,
"Will there be an extra session of Con-
gress?" The reply is, Perhaps so, and
perhaps not" according to the respective
views of those who respond. There are
reasons for and against an assembling of
Congress in extra session, and which are
TO control and direct the executive mind
on this question the future must reveal.
All precedent shows that the calling of
an extra session of Congress is full of
peril to the party in power which assumes
the responsibility of such call. The
considerations, therefore, which induce
an assembling of Congress, except under
the dictates of ordinary rule and law and
at the period named in the Constitution,
should be grounded in an absolute neces-
sity relating to the public interest
The arguments in favor of an extra ses-
sion at this period relate to the financial
policy and welfare of the country and the
Government, and to the outraged rights
of the people of the Southern section of
the Nation. 1t is desirable to have law
passed at as early day as is practicable,
which shall refund a portion of the ma
tional debt at the lowest profitable
rate of interest. A wise regard for
economy demands this much. A just and
wise apportionment of the ratio of repre-
sentation in Congress at the earliest prac-
ticable moment is desirable. But these
considerations may, perhaps, be waived
without serious detriment to the Ameri-
can people.
The paramount question, and that
which cannot be postponed without in
dulging absolute and positive wrong, is
that which relates to the rights of Repre-
sentatives in Congress in very consid-

BISHOP SPAULDING, i'll his Lenten address
to the Roman Catholic diocese of Peoria, remarks
not blind to the fact that the orginators ofthe
public school system of this country not only had
no irreligious intention, but were for the most
part profoundly convinced of the truth of Chris
tianity. The purely secular character of the pub
lie schools is the result Of circumstances and
not of a deliberate purpose; and its justifica-
ton is sought for in grounds of expedi-
ency and not i'll principle. But this does not affect
the necessary tendency of such education to pro-
duce religious Indifference and, consequently, to
destroy the power and vital influence of religion
and hence whatever may be the intention or pur-
pose of those who maintain this system, they are,
in point of fact the most effective allies of the
propagators of unbelief and materialism"

sauators ,gahone a.d Bile.

The contest between the Democratic
party of Virginia and Mr. Mahone's party has
rarely been equaled in this country for earnest
ness and bitterness. We are sure the Democrats
and Republicans have never surpassed 1t in that
respect anywhere. tits fresh in the peoples minds
that distinguished men of the same family were
ready to take each the others life on account of
party hostility. 1t is folly TO claim that Mr. Ma
hone was elected as Democrat, and that he owes
allegiance to the Democratic party. Instead of the
Democratic party sending him to the Senate, it
did everything it could to prevent his going. If
Mcorn should go before the people of Mississippi
this year on the same issue Malone made, namely.
q free election and a fair count and any other
local issues that might be made, and secure his
election to the Senate as Mr.. Lamars successor,
Senator Hill would have just as much right to
claim him as Democrat as he has to claim Ma.

MAHONE.

| The proposition to Senator Malone to
rise above sectionalism and to lead in the creation
| of new South in politics is wise and patriotic
now from the Republican Senators-Utica Herald
| (Rep)
Malone is sKhall in stature, but he hits
| hard Senator Fill couldn't have been doubled
up more effectually if Barnums best mule had
kicked him.-A5any Ere,iag Journal (Repl
Perhaps the secret of Ben Hills wrath
at Malone has slightfoundation in jealousy. 1t
will be remembered that Mr.. Hill has often edver-
tised himself a man peculiarly fitted to lead
reorganization of the two old parties. He un-
folded himself before the public in that guise in
his letter to Mr. Chittenden after Garfield's elec
ton. During the Hayes administration it was
limited that liberal bestowal of patronage upon
Mr. Hill would be pretty sure to secure his pernla
| nent reconciliation" When his Chittenden let
ter appeared it was somewhat harshly remarked
by Southern journals that Mr.. Hill was good deal
more anxious about himselfthan he was about the
South.-Nt1o York Tribune.
Senator Mahone's alienation from his
party began, as we understand it, with differences
upon question of local interest The circum-
stances of his position led him into an afiation
with the Republicans upon issues which, to them
were vitally important, chief of which was their
right to a free ballot and honest count. He found
hlmSeu very SnOflIy in line Win tne hepuDU-
cans of the Nation and in bitter antagonism to the
Bourbon Democracy. The local question on which
Virginia Democrats supported him brings him into
no relations with Democrats in the Senate. The
questions upon which he received the votes of
Virginia Republicans are national, and naturally
ally him with the Republicans in the Senate. And
yet the Bourbon Democracy make a great outcry
of treachery and treason when he takes the only
position logically open to him, and talk though
they had owned him. They talk Of treason! Why,
the party that elected him did it on the promise
that he would use his influence to give them equal
| rights, free ballot and honest count. What
would it have been called if, under such circum-
stances, he had gone over and acted with the
Bourbon party that opposed him and are noto-
riously hostile to equal rights and honest
elections in the South? The debate disclosed two
things: First, the dim beginnings of an effort to
divide the Solid South upon the only practical ne
that of opposition to BourbOnism; and, second the
desperate malignity with which such Democrats as
Ben Hill, who pretend at times to depFeeate Sec
tional politics, will oppose it. There has been
some disposition on the part of Republicans to
hold aloof from Senator Malone; but under such
attacks as the Bourbon Democracy are making
upon him he receives the cordial sympathy and
encouragement of all who opposed to the brutal
tyranny of opinion which makes the South solid
| for the Bourbon Democracy.-NC10 York Tribune

erable number of the districts in the
Southern States, who have been cheated
by fraud and outrage out of the certificates
of their election, which rightfully belong
to them. These cases all appeal for
prompt action. They cannot be deferred
without positive wrong to the peo-
pie of those districts, where hon
esty and right have been disregarded in
declaring political results. Immediate
action is therefore of primary importance.
1t is due to those who have been grossly
defrauded of their elections that the work
of vindicating the rights involved should
commence without delay. A session of
Congress in May, or even earlier, seems
to be called for by imperative considera-
tions which rise above the offices in
volyed in the organization of the House
the question of finance or the law of
apportionment The numerous con-
testants for seats in Congress frI m
the South demand a prompt and
thorough investigation into the legal
ity and rights of the parties who
set up the claim that their certificates of
election have been denied them under the
dictates of fraud and outrage. Under such
circumstances dalliance is scarcely tolera-
bic. The redressing of positive wrong
cannot be deferred without adding to the
measure of the wrong involved. This
question presses upon the executive judg-
ment with unusual force, and may lead to
an early convention of Congress.
Much time may be gained by an extra
session. A years interest may be re-
duced in the way of economy. Then the
question of contested seats may be raised,
and committees of investigation may be
appointed and set at work during the re-
cess to inquire into the rights of the
cases presented, SO that reports may be
made at the early opening of the regu-
lar session, and those entitled to
seats may be established therein
and participate in the legislation of
the session, instead of waiting to be
instated until it had nearly passed away.
Then again, these contested cases are so
numerous that the committees necessary
to inquire into the equities involved
would largely tax the majority and
weaken its efficiency in legislation dur
ing the regular session, if the question of
contests shall be deferred until after it
convenes. All these points must be
carefully considered by the President
before he decides adversely to an extra
session. Let justice and right be wisely
sought and counseled before this impor-
tant question is decided.
