gentleman who obtained some notori-
ETY. during the war, in connection with
the massacre Of colored prisoners Of
war, at Fort Pillow. Chalmers is in
Congress, but his seat is contested by
colored man named Lynch. These
men had a hearing before the 'Elec-

poisoned by her seducer. VIM. Zeek
confessed that he and his brother-in-
law, Waggoner, murdered DR.. Beggs,
and a mob hung Waggoner, at the

his confession, and they would not

THE anti-Chinese inlquity bill has
met with check. Senator Hoar, of
Massachusetts, made great speech
against it in the Senate, and in the
House Judge Taylor, the successor of
Garfield, made a powerful speech
against it. We wrote to Senator Hoar
for correct copy of his speech, and
he sent it. Next week we will pub
lish it, or at least commence it's pub
lication. We ask in advance, that it
be very generally read, by men, women
and children. 1t is a mastery and
statesman-like argument in defense of
Christianity and human rights.
We have written to Judge Taylor
for copy of his speech, and we will
perhaps publish it.

the people went where they pleased,
until from a single case more than
forty persons have taken the disease.
All this time it was called chick-pea,
rash, chicken-pOx, etc, and not until
some Of the cases became threatening,
ard one or two Of them died, did they
become alarmed. About this time
DR.. Hill Was taken sick, and old DR..
Tracy was called in He called it
something, | don't know what, and
the people were coming in here and
bringing all sorts of reports. But up
to little over week ago no diagno-

DR.. Sisson, who has had considerable
practice in smallpox, went to see one
of the worst cases, and unhesitating ly
pronounced it smallpox Of a very ma

week only four deaths had occurred
but on Tuesday Mrs. VIM Colwell be-

evening McClosky boy died, making

bies. Those who died previous to this
week were Mrs. H. Hug ghes. Mrs Scott

By paganism meant that notion OF dependence
and devotion which leads select. objects of

not and best exempifed by the ancient religions of
Greece and Rome. the time when the blessed
Gospels were written the world Roman and
pagan, the great cities were ornamented with stu
pendous temples reared at immense cost in honor of
heather divinites and the priest offered his sacri
fees to Diana, and poured his Iibatons Jupiter in
true a spirit of devotion ever animated a
shipper at an earthly shrine; but his devotedness
limited; he looked for nothing beyond present
favor; his highest hone that the gods would be-
for the moment propitious. He had idea of life
beyond the grave.
The deities of Rome had guided her eagles to the
conquest of many nations. and unbroken chain Of
victories from the Thames to the Ganges had fully
authenticated their authority and preominence. OF
this all-conquering people, Moses had warned the
Israelites than 14oO years before Christ. 1.-The
Lord shall bring nation against thee from far. from
the end of the earth. swift the eagle feth na

Roman; proudly deeming Itself invincible through
the protection of its gods 1t stamped its poly

be remem bered that this was ilterate world; 1t
was the world of Plato, and Cesar and Virgil, and
hosts of fothers-distinguished authors whose books

Ohio, whence the Holy Bible is legally excluded. 1t

WE felt some sympathy for Mason,
the soldier who shot at Guiteau. He
has been sent to the Penitentiary for
eight years. Petitions are being sent
to the President to have him par
doned. The Ohio Legislature passed
a resolution asking the President to
pardon him.
Now we find the following in one
of our exchanges:
Sergeant Mason made more than a grammatical mis-
take hen h. to the Washington Critic that he
didn't want to be pardoned by no Guiteau Presi-
dent
If he made that remark, the Peni-
tentiary is just the place for him. He
must be fool, as we'll as a cowardly,
sneaking assassin.

On Wednesday of last week the
Iroquois Club, Of Chicago, celebrated
the birthday of Gen. Jackson. An
invitation was sent to Samuel j. Til
den, who could not attend, but sent
short stump speech. Uncle Sammy
was invited to respond to the toast
Democracy" "Cipher Dispatches"
would have been more appropriate
subject. Mr.. Tilden writes that the
Government must be restored to its
old-time Democratic purity and re-
formed from the inside. (Strange,
that Democratic politician always
thinks reform should commence on
the insideD Uncle Sammy attempted
to reform the Government by steal
ing the Presidency. Failing in this,
he attempted to buy the Presidency.
Again failing in his efforts to reform
the Government, and establish the
true school of Democratic purity, he
went into retirement, and had the
modification Of seeing his villany ex-
posed.
Uncle Sammy closes his letter with
the hope 'that Providence will. in its
own good time raise up man adapted
and qualified for the wise execution
of this great work, and that the peo-
pie will put him in possession Of the
Executive This sounds funny
coming from Tilden, who claims that
the people did elect him President
while he did not display any of those
vigorous traits he so much admires in
General Jackson's life. Uncle Sammy
sorrowfully signs himself Your fel
low-citizen, Samuel J. Tilden."
Mr.. Tilden ought to take a walk
he ought to go out into the world, ant
mingle with the people, and get theil
views on current topics-and especi
ally their opinion of the Democratic
party. By rapid travelling the ole
ian may yet catch up with the rea
end Of the funeral procession Of th'
Democratic party. But he must hurry
up! He will find an Ohio man named
Bookwalter riding upon the rear car
riage, and from this gentleman Unct
Sammy may learn the direction from
which the storms come.
