Senator Hills Hopeless Condition.

An Atlanta dispatch says: In modern an
mails there has not been death So full OF
horrors as that which Benjamin Harvey
Hill is now suffering; nor has the resignation
and Christian philosophy exhibited been ex.
celled. Slowly dying of one of the most
loathsome of diseases he is Yet cheerful, pa
tient, and resigned. The patient is put to
sleep every night about o'clock with an
hypodermic injection of morphine, and does
not awake until II o'clock the following
morning. Three grains of morphia are adj
mInistered daily, the patient never being al
lowed TO come thoroughly from under its in
iiuence. His food consists of milk into
which the yolks OF eggs have been beaten
and little whiskey added. About three
quarts OF this mixture is passed into the pa
tents stomach every day through tube, no
portion of the fluid touching his palate.
The cancer, for such it is acknowledged to be
by all but those who have not had any con-
nection with the case, has DESTROYED all the
TISSUES ofthe throat and mouth on the left
side, as we'll As the lower jaw or sub-maxill-
AIRY bone. The opening is so large that two
or three fingers pass freely up into themouth
from below and the palate can be seen
when the patient is lying down and one ap-

terry is exposed and the pulsation is plainly
seen; the soft or connective tissue has been
eaten away, and only such tough. elastic

given, nor has any been administered since
the abandonment of the French cancer-cure,
which consisted of an injection into the
blood Of purified carbolic acid, the object
being to destroy the cancerous germs in the
blood. A final change it is now thought,
will come from sheer exhaustion. Ifmorphine
treatment was suspended he would soon
sink from the effects of pain. Now, all that
can be done is to alleviate his suffering and
prolong the few days left him, which, de-
spite his terrible condition, he seems to
prize more than those in which he gained
his glory.

SATURDAY EVENING, JULY %, 1882.

MANY NORTHERN newspapers belonging
to the Arthur or Malone wing of the republic
can party attempt to stimulate the war
feeling of their readers by asserting the ex-
istence of numerous illicit distilleries
throughout the South, and that the opposi-
ton to their destruction is proof positive of
the disloyalty of the people of this section.
Mr.. Raum, the commissioner of internal
revenue, to the contrary, says that the bust
ness Of illicit distilleries has been entirely
suppressed; but he is as incorrect las the news
papers referred to. People who live in the
mountainous regions ofthe country, away
from railroads, North as we'll as South to
whom transportation is a matter Of almost
insurmountable difficulty do, and would
continue to, were the tax on whiskey re-
moved, distill enough of that article to sup
ply their immediate wants. and they are
naturally opposed to the destruction OF
their property, and think the laws author
iziug its destruction cruel, unjust and OPP.
pressiye: nor are they the only ones who
think so-but that their opposition to these
laws is indicative of their disloyalty TO the
government is an assertion that is utterly
unwarranted, and that has no foundation
except in the malignant minds Of the parti
san sectionalists who give it utterance

WHEN THE ''cruel war was over the
national debt was twenty-three hundred
millions of dollars. Seventeen years have
since elapsed, during which the people of
the country have been compelled to pay
double price for almost everything they
consumed in order to raise the billions that
have been gathered into the Treasury, and
Yet the amount of the debt is still in excess
of fifteen hundred millions. The republicans
laud the honesty and ability with which
the financial affairs of the country have
been managed BY the men they have put in
charge Of the Treasury, but an entirely diff
ferent opinion is entertained by those who
know how those affairs have really been
