The resolutions were adopted with loud
applause. Hardly however, had the en-
thusiasm quieted when Chairman Rankin
| was again on his feet with resolution in
dorsing Thomas A. Armstrong, of Pitts.
burgh, for governor. This was the signal
for a general upr0ar. Delegates jumped
to their feet and shouted, and tho specta-
tors Joined in the chorus, creating per.
feet Bedlam.
George Chance, Of the Philadelphia
| typographical union, and a number of
other delegates vigorously opposed the
| resolution and denounced it as the re-
suit of q private understanding. Mr..
Rankin has attempted to pollute labor or
ganizations with the dirt of politics, u
continued Chance. You are playing a
game that may prove your downfall. We
are here as representatives of trade organ
izations, and not as political hucksters ;
and to indorse this resolution may bring
this organization into disrepute and posi-
bly, disrupt it,"
The resolution was adopted by SO to %,
and some sensation was called during the
rOll-call by VIM. II. Barrett voting for X.
E. Pattison. He said that he believed it
was the purpose Of his association, as it
was of the Labor party generally, to have
governor elected who would justly exc
cute the laws and protect, as far as he
could, the interests of all classes of citizens
and as there is already such a candi lat
before the people he would vote for Robt.
E. Pattison.
Mr.. Beaumont, of Elmira, N. Y, intro
duced Mr.. Armstrong to the convention
as soon as the vote was announced, and he
was received with great applause. He
spoke briefly, and said that he fully in
dOrsed the platform. He was repeatedly
oheered during his speech.
Before the convention adjourned the
chairman was authorized to appoint a
committee, to consist of one from each
labor organization in the state, who should
organize into an executive committee to
carry on the campaign if necessary recall
the convention. and if they thought best
advise the nomination of full Legislative
ticket.

into secession. This was at the close of the
year 1861. Seldom, if ever, has young
college professor been thrown into more
embarrassing and discouraging position. He
knew just enough of military science, as
he expressed it himself, to measure the ex-
tent of his ignorance, and with handful
of men he was marching, in rough winter
weather, into strange country, among a
hostile population, to confront a largely
superior force under the command of a
distinguished graduate of West Point, who
had seen active and important service in
two preceding wars.
The result of the campaign is a matter of
history. The skill, the endurance, the ex-
traordinary energy shown by Garfield, the
courage he impaired to his men, raw and
untried as himself, the measures he adopted
to increase his force and to create in the
enemy's mind exaggerated estimates of his
| numbers, bore perfect fruit in the routing
of Marshall, the capture of his camp. the
| dispersion of his force, and the emancipa-
| ton of an important territory from the con-
| troll of the rebellion. Coming at the close
| of long series of disasters to the Union
arms, Garfeld's victory had an unusual and
extraneous Importance, and in the popular
| judgment elevated the young commander to
| the rank of military hero. With less than
| two thousand men in his entire command
with a modified force of only eleven hun
bred, without cannon, he had met an army
| of five thousand and defeated them-driv-
ing MarshalPs forces successfully from two
strongholds of their own selection, fortified
with abundant artillery. Major General
Buell., commanding the Department of the
Ohio, an experienced and able soldier of
the Regular Army, published an order of
thanks and congratulation on the brilliant
result of the Big Sandy campaign, which
would have turned the head of a less cool
and sensible man than Garfield. Buell. de-
clared that his services had called into &C
ton the highest qualities of soldier, and
President Lincoln supplemented these words
of praise by the more substantial reward of
brigadier-generars commission, to bear
date from the day of his decisive victory
over Marshall
The subsequent military career of Gar
field fully sustained his brilliant beginning,
Knoxville daily chronicle. [volume] (Knoxville, Tenn.) 1870-1882, 1882-02-28

when he entered and was but seven years
from his college graduation. But he had
not been in his seat sixty days before his
ability was recognized and his place co1--
ceded. He stepped to the front with the
confidence of one who belonged there. The
House was crowded with strong men of both
parties; nineteen of them have since been
transferred to the Senate, and many of them
have served with distinction in the guberna
torial chairs of their respective States, and
on foreign missions of great consequence !;
but among them all none grew so rapidly,
none so firmly as Garfield. AS is said by
Tevelyan of his parliamentar hero, Gar
field succeeded because all the world in
concert could not have kept him in the
back ground, and because when once in
front he played his part with a prompt in
trepidity and a commanding ease that were
but the outward symptoms of the immense
reserves of energy, on which it was in his
power to draw" Indeed, the apparently re-
served force which Garfield possessed was
one of his great characteristics. He never
did SO well but that it seemed he could
easily have done better. He never ex-
banded so much strength but that he seemed
to be holding additional power power at
call This is one of the happiest and rarest
distinctions of an effective debater, and
often counts for as much in persuading an
assembly as the eloquent and elaborate ar
gument.
The great measure of Garfelds fame was
filled by his service in the House of Repre-
sentatives. His military life, illustrated by
honorable performance, and rich in prom
Use, was, as he himself felt, prematurely
terminated, and necessarily incomplete.
Speculation as to what he might have done
in the field, where the great prizes are SO
few, cannot be profitable. 1t is sufficient to
say that as a soldier he did his duty bravely;
he did it inteligently; he won an enviable
fame, and he retired from the service with
out blot or breath against him. As a law
yer, though admirably equipped for the
profession, he can scarcely be said to have
entered on its practice. The few efforts he
made at the bar we're distinguished by the
Same high order of talent which he exhib-
tied on every field where he was put to the
test, and if a man may be accepted as

MANY OF our laws have been
handed down to US from former
times, and sometimes imported from
otEer countries; so it is not surpris-
ing to find some of them unsuited to
our day and generation. General
Mcdowell has found one of this
kind in that section of the Revised
Statutes which requires courts-mar-
tiaI to sit between the hours of a.
m. and 3 p. M. He has found that
this is a restriction that was put
upon English courts-martial at a
time when the dinner hour was 3
O'Clock, and when sit was the Gus
tom of officers, if gentlemen, to be
in such a state after dinner, as to
unfit them for judicial functions"
He thinks, and justly too, that the
restriction is unnecessary, as our
officers do not dine at 3 o'clock now,
and do not get drunk when they do
dine.

BEER DRINKERS.
Effect on the System Of Excessive
Use Of the Beverage.

In regard to the consumption OF
lager beer, which has been the sub
ject of several articles in the Mail
and 4 GpreSS for the last few days
Dr.. Alfred K. Hills made the fol
lowing remarks to a Mail and EG
press reporter this morning:
81 must severely condemn the
habitual use of lager beer-as also
of any other alcoholic liquor-foI
the reason that such consumption is
highly injurious to thu health. A
man who empties down six or seven
glasses of the stuff every evening
under any and all circumstances is
doing himself a great amount OF
harm, and this whether the beer be
adulterated or not. l have paid
special attention to the effects of
alcohol in all its forms, and the
result of all my observations is
that beer can be put to good Their
apeutical use. Outside of this it
becomes harmful. My idea is that
in the economy of nature alcohol
subserves a purpose, and so nothing
can rightly forbid its occasional
employment for the benefit of
suffering humanity. In its employ
ment, however, the same principle
of strict NATURALIZATION which 60
verns us in the selection of any
other means-hy gienic, dietetic, or
medicinal-should be strictly OBJ
seryed. Malt liquors, which are of
course also alcoholic, derive their
distinctive properties from the hops
which enter into their composition
rather than from the malt which
forms their body. 1t is to the former
ingredient that their well known
sedative influence is almost wholly
due. When the stomach is, there
fore, at the same time irritated and
exhausted, they both lower the pulse
and inyigorate digestion. Hops con.
tain about per cent. of ta9ni71
and a volatile alkaloid known as
Mpuli71, upon which their virtues
mainly depend. 1 have frequently
used lager beer as therapeutic
agent with the greatest success, but
here also I found its utility ends
People who drink beer iYnmoder
ately expose themselves to very
many ills, and greatly reduce theil
vitality"
