and even aspired, with the aid of North
ern Democrats, to take possession of the
National Government. They have main
tanned their control Of the South by
murder and massacre, as In Mississippi
and Louisiana; by election frauds OF the
most glaring kind, as in Georgia and
Alabama; by tissue paper ballots, as in
South Carolina and by the application
of the shotgun and various ballot-box-
stufing methods all over the South,
which disfranchised Republicans and
wiped out their votes by whole counties.
The crushing defeat administered to
Bourbonism by the gallant Malone Of
Virginia was blow which has weak
ened it all over the South. 1t was the
mine which has opened the way for an
assault all along the line. The time
was never more suspicious, public senti-
ment was never reader, the South itself
was never reader than now for Congress
to assert itself. II the House has any
courage, or any sense of justice, if it
would extend helping hand to the We
TINS of Southern Bourbonism, if it
would seize the opportunity which

fraud, by bulldozing and ballot boz

one who was not elected and who has NJ
right to hiss seat. Let the claims Of
every one of these seat-stealers be ex
amined, and then let them be thrown
out without grace or delay, SO that those
who have a rightful claim to the seat
can take them. 1t is time these South
can Bourbons were taught that they can
not practice the methods of the past tel
years any longer, and that Southeri

Iiarfleld,s PHYSICIANS Fees.

A recent telegram from Washington says
DR.. Bliss has returned from New York, where
he met the other physicians of the late Presi-
dent Garfield for consultation relative to their
fees. The various sums agreed upon foot up
$4,000. 1t is said that Bliss has taken
charge of the claims of all the physi-
clans, and will present them to the
Congressional committee. 1t is understood that
he will ask for himself $50, for Drs. Agnew
and Hamilton $4,000 each, for Dr. Reyburn
SIS, 600, and for DR.. Boynton and Mrs. DR. Edison
81, 600 each. DR.. Woodward and Surgeon Gem
eral Barnes get nothing, because they were in
Government employ, and it is said they are to be
promoted by way of recompense for their serv-
ices. In answer to the question, what was to
go to the railroads, friend of Dr. Bliss re-
marked that he understood that the pennsyl-
wanna railroad had refused to take anything,
and that the State of Ohio would pay some
other expenses, amounting to about 5000, 600.

Indications were not wanting that his

The Champion Conyersationalist.

All Frenchmen, and especially French
women, know how to talk when they have
nothing to say. This is most valuable
accomplishment. Many man with any
amount Of information inside of him,
which he longed to rid himself of, has
been obliged to remain silent all his life
and die dumb because he could not get
started conversationally by talking when
he had nothing to say. Your very wise
and very reticent man thinks he must
say something worth saying every time
he opens his lips. This is great mis-
take. Indeed, it is very questionable
whether the best Of his self-reputed wise
sayir gs were really worth saying at all.
A great deal of the learned sense of a
hundred or two hundred years ago has
turned out nonsense, and 1t may be the
same way with our reputed profundity.
The man over-careful with his talk ostra-
cises himself from his kind, and is
hermit in crowd. doubt if French
hermit was ever known. The advantageof
being able to talk when you have nothing
to say is, that it paves the way for talk
when you have something to say. This
has been the secret of the French diplo-
mat. and in this, also, is involved much
of the charm of the Frenchwoman.
Another commendable practice of the
Frenchman is that he Ito speak American
gambling vernacular) "plays his kind
for all they're WORTH" intellectually and
socially. Frenchmen who may meet for
the first time around table will not
remain strangers. They know that con-
yersation enlivens meal, and converse
ton they will have. Englishmen, and
main glum. They freeze up Immediately
on coming in contact with each other.
Frenchmen thaw out. The Frenchman
doesn't care who or what the man OPP
posite him is, or who he may be or may
have been. He wants some talk out of
| him for the present moment and he gets
! it. All parties are amused for the time
being, and none are injured. They part
friends and remain strangers. Every
individual, to the Frenchman, with whom
he may come In transient contact Is as
the flower to the honey bee, out of which
he extracts some sweets, then flies away
and forgets it forever. Prentice Mut-

To the Editor Of the Press.
The importance of the meeting of the Board
of Trade at the Merchants Exchange to-mor.
row (Saturday) at II o'clock a. M, cannot be
overestimated by the merchants and citizens Of
Portland. Some impracticable man, to call
him by no harsher name, proposes to discon-
tiAue one of the Portland lights, to save the
paltry sum of about $1,000 per year t the gov
ernment. What economy, to jeopardizs the
commerce of this port by the removal of one Of
the Oldest lights on the coast at the suggestion
OF any man, who, by so doing shows himself
to be fit subject for an insane asylum.
Remove one of the Portland lights and the
loss of life and property would be fearful
The entrance TO Portland harbor is now one
OF the safest on our coast. But would it be
so carrying this proposal into effect? 1t would
be long time before the fact would be known.
and the change made on charts and maps. The
mariner has looked upon the Portland lights
as permanent as that grand old headland, Mt.
Washington, and only the fact that he was in
danger of shipwreck would make him believe
that IL was possible that any sane man could
suggest the removal of either.
The government has wasted millions in the
river and har6or bill, but in that measure
there will be DO jeopardy of human life. But
with an oyertowing treasury, the government

dollars, and in every storm or fog that comes
TO this coast, expose vessels to dangers that
will result in fearful loss of human life and
property. Let there be such an expression of
feeling at the meeting tomorrow, that the
public will rest assured that the merchants of
Portland will protect the interests and COM
merce Of the city at all hazards. H,

pl,use Mr.. French started his listeners on
the ocean steamer bound for Norway and then
took them through this rugged country, show
ing the points OF interest and relating the
stories and legends connected with them. The
views of the country were especially fine, their
neat looking houses, with their plain style OF
architecture, the ancient capita OF Christiania,
its royal palace, cathedral and university, and
the views of the lofty and snow-capped noun
tain being very clear and distinct. Then cross
ing to Greenland the audience were shown the
immense icebergs and foes aud the manner in
which the inhabitants of this barren country
live.
The last part of the lecture Mr.. Fsench
spent in contrasting this country with those o.
the tropics. Their dress, manner of liyine
and habits were compared, and the whole clos
ed with terrific tropical storm, with its blood
red skies and flashing lightning, suddenly
changing TO snow storm of the polar regions
