MR. BLACKBURN, Of Kentucky, during 4
speech he delivered in the l.. 5. House of
Representatives 4 year or two ago, said the
democrats did not intend to rest satisfied
until they had wiped out all the war legis-
lion. In The laudable effort to secure that
object the {. $. Supreme Court is assisting
them 10 the full extent. Of its power. as i;
evidenced by its recent decisions in the
Arlington and ku klux cases, but the statute
excluding cN-Coniedcratcs from the rank Of
commissioned officers in the army and navy,
the iron clad oath. and the internal revenue
laws are beyond its jurisdiction; they can
only bc repealed by Congress, and the patri-
otto men in that body. no matter what their
politics may be, should, as Mr.. Blackburn
said, never be satisfied until they are wiped
out. This is now one Countrywide rcpubli-
cans deny that il has ever been more than
one and that it may be united, prosperous
aud happy. everything that tends to re-
mind liz pror!e of the war should he
abolished.

Mr.. SICKLE Il see in your last is
sue that you reported me ss taking up
my abode in the future in Idaho. Now
not that ! love Mazo Mamie less, bu t
Idaho more, first in beautiful climate
the year around, mild and congenial,
the northern part more especially,
Lewiston being the objective point.
Its people are wide awake, rustling,
and on the move. Fruit of all kinds are
raised in abundance. Fish and game
till there is no end. Soil Is all that can
be asked for. Pure water aud much

A Remarkable Recovery.

Tohn Ibetson, roofer, while at
work recently on round house at
East Syracuse, New York, fell to
the ground. a distance OF fifty feet:
heath was expected as the result OF
the fall. There was actual dlsloca-
ton of the neck. The peculiar ma

hvfhe Syracuse Herald: "He suf-
fered dislocation of the neck SINH
lar to that which takes place during
an execution by hanging. Ibetson
is a portiy man and weighs over two
hundred rounds. DrS. Thomas and
Skinner attended Ibetson, and DR..

after consultation it was concluded
to attempt to reduce tie dislocation.

a long time they pulled in opp )site

have resulted successfully. Mr..
