We recently met with we'll
known colored porter of Pull
man car, who runs from Atlanta to
New York. His name is Augustus
l.. Grant, and he lives at No. aa0
Hayne Street, Atlanta, tia. He
SAID, II would like TO publish for
the benefit of consumptives and for
the comfort of their friends, how l
have been rescued from con-
sumptive's grave. l know that
many people think the colored
people do not have consumption,
but | know from experience that it
is a great mistake. Seven years
ago 1 became y subject of this for
Iorn disease, and was so pronounced
by my physicians. My lungs be-
came badly affected my cough was
awful, at times almost shaking me
to pieces. My general health broke
down and so declined that | be-
came helpless and reduced IN flesh
almost 10 a shadow. Terri tie night
sweats, ~ appetite OF digestion;
more and more pain in my lungs.
1sutfercd more and more; my cough
became exceedingly exhaustive,
discharging great quantities of pus
and consumptive matter. l.had In
the meanwhile the best treatment;
some of the best physicians pre-
scribcd for nc, an,i became inter
asted N my case. But after two or
three years treatment, finding that
[ continued to grow worse, they
one By one abandoned the ease un,
til at last they wcro all agreed that
it was only question OF time with
me, and the time was thought to
be very short. In this condition,
with ono loot in tie grave, and
making my preparations TO so
through the dark wateFs of death,
one of my physicians mentioned to
a remedy which might be tried as a
last resort. His reasoning was
that consumption being nothing
moro than ulcers on the lungs, why
Is it that remedy which will euro
an ulcer on the body will not curo
ulcers on the lungsg At his sug-
gestion L procured a bottle of
Swift's Specific and began to take
it. l felt so much benefited from
the first bottle that Ipersovered IT
the use OF it, and my improvement
was almost as rapid as it was won
derful. My appetite came back to
me, my digestion was good, my
strength was rapidly regained, my
lungs healed over nicely, my cough
left me gradually, and | went TO
work wilma new Lease on life. For
the last four or five months 1 have
not lost days wages nor felt q
symptom of that terrible disease
that had brought me so near the
brink of the grave. My physician
three months ago pronounced me
sound and well-nOt trace of lung
trouble. He today, July 10th,
made another examination, and
tells me my lungs are as sound as
anybody's. feel perfectly well,
and l know l am entirely cured,
and that l owe my life TO S. S. s.,
which was prescribed by the ply
siclan. Ny advice to every man
every man, woman and child who
has weak lungs is to take S, S. s,
1t cured me sound and we'll after
all the doctors and all other medi-
cine had failed, and | want every
sufferer to know 1t.

the ST. Louis Republican says :
These are the halcyon days for the
political traducer. Candidates
seem 10 be kept so busy mailing
campaign lies that nobody has eth
er time or attention 20 devote to
politics. One good able-bodicd
calcmniator seems TO be able to
spread moro scandal in a day than
the average candidate can catch
mp with in q week. And the sad
part of the affair hos in the fact
that the calumny cast upon the
Republican ticket is not only as
serted but proved.

a handsome victory in both States,
In each a Legislature is to be
chosen which will elect Il United

succeed Hawley, Republican, and
in New Jersey TO succeed SewolI,
Republican. In all probability
their successors will be Democrats.
If we get Indiana also, which VIC
certainly shall, the Senate will be

ment of the Slavery question:.

TIE explosion of the steamboat
Mascot, near Cape Girardeau,
NO., on the 5th inst, was one of
the most disastrous that has oc-
CURED for many years. About
nineteen persons were killed and
wounded. In times past the Mis-
slssippi river was famous for steam
boat explosions, hundreds and
hundreds Of lives having been lost
by that means. One of the most
disastrous explosions that ever oc'
Cured on the river was that OF the
steamer Sultana, very large boat
that was on her way up the river
from Memphis just at the close Of
the war with a whole regiment Of
federal soldiers going homo to be
mustered out of service. The boat
exploded about thirty miles above
Memphis the river was very high
and about seven hundred men were
lost /; their dead bodies foated
past Memphis like drift wood.

THE STORM AT GALHESTON.

THE JSTORM AT GALVESTON.
On Tuesday afternoon Galveston
was again visited by another wind
storm coming from the direction
of Key West. By Up. m. the scene
was suddenly changed; the bright
sky became overcast and from the
sullen looking clouds heavy driz-
zling rain fell. The wind settled
squarely down to business, and
keeping pace with the rapidly fall
ing barometer tore through space
at the rate of thirty miles an hour.
The waters of the bay came up with
a rush and tho wind gaining in We
Iocity soon reached a speed of forty
miles an hour. At Bath avenue
the water had crossed the Strand
and extended to Market street.
The trestle work of both the Mis-
souri, Pacific and Santa Fe railways
were under water. At 9 p. m. the
wind registered fifty miles an hour.
The East End was submerged as
far as Seventeenth street. Railway
communication was entirely cut off
The damage is not reported as be-
ing anyway serious; the only incon-
venlence will be a trifilng delay
in business. GALVESTON is so used
to blows and squalls of wind that
she does not mind them and as soon
as the wind ceases and the water
subsidies Galveston is found doing
business at the old stand.

The New York delegation to the
knights of Labor convention at
Richmond are having O "nIce"
time. One of their number is a
colored gentleman named Farrell ;
the other members put Farrell for
ward as one Of their best men and
on Wednesday night Mr.. Farrell
occupied q chair in the orchestra,
contrary to the well established
rules of the house. The affair will
cause q great deal of talk at Rich
mond, one OF the most aristocratic
and refined cities in the South. The
manager of the theatre allowed
Farrell to enter because he did NOT
want disturbance; the members
of the assembly to which Farrell
belonged accompanied him. A
great deal OF talk is the result OF
this comparatively insignificant
episode. 1t is nothing more or
less than a reopening of the old
social equality question, which
will like all other similar questions
settle itself to the satisfaction OF
all concerned if let alone. Social
equality must regulate itself and
negroes who intrude themselves
upon the whites, or whites who in
trude themselves upon negroes are
equally Objectionable. Society
both white and colorcd. makes its
own rules which being governed
by custom are fully as powerful as
the written law.

The st. Louis Republican is a
large paper; the Chicago papers
are large ones too. Here is nice
little specimen from the republican
referring TO Chicago. Texas towns
at times, are not complimentary to
each other, but this is far worse
than one Texas town has ever SAID
OF another;
If Chicago could take care of a
big crowd of people as well as its
alleged newspapers can lie about
the hospitality OF other cities, it
would be the natural homo of all
the conventions. The only kind
of a throng to which Chicago Is ac-
customed is made up of the pigs in
its stock yards. And the chief rea-
son for the general unpopularity OF
that city is Its appliance of the
stock yard idea 10 hotel keeping.
1t is safe to predict that the dele
gates to future conventions held IN
Chicago will go there in double
deckcd cattle cars.

TIE GreenviIle Banner is correct
when It says what the people OF
this country want is system OF
laws that will fully protect them
in their rights, and not laws to
h4lld up one interest at the expense
of another. The tariff laws tax
the masses for tho benefit of the
few. No amount of argument can
justify such a system and the con-
cIusion OF all sound reasoning upon
the subject Is that the protective
tariff must go. Glass legislation is
not wanted by patriotic people, but
the class laws already In force
must be repealed. This is the fight
that Democracy is making and 1t
is the greatest problem that has
demanded solution since the settle
ment of the slavery question.

DEMOCRACY.

II will be noticed that the anti
monopolists, the prohibitionists,
the laboring mans party and the
Republican party are all opposed
to the Democratic party, with
them it is anything TO beat the
Democracy, which is the true par
ty of the people. During the many
years the Democratic party had
control of the national government
prior to the war, there was no cry
of monopoly raised and while
wealthy men, as the world then
went, were numerous, there was no
millionaires scatterd over the land.
During the war the Republican
party got into power and all the
federal officers and their friends
used their official positions 10 make
money. Speculation was rito and
fortunes were rapidly made and
lost. The enormous expense of
the war necessitated the lovy of
an internal revenue tax and u
higher protective tariff, those two
combined opened the way tor the
formation of monopolics IN the
manufacture of many articles, and
small manufacturers were driven
out of business because of their in
ability to compete with the large
All tho evils of
which we complain grew out OF
the national administration of the
Republicans. They finally became
so burdensome that the people rose
in their might and elected a Demo-
cratic administration. The Demo
cratic party is the party of the
people and it believes in the peo-
pie governing themselves that the
officers are public servants, instead
of the people being the servants of
the officers. The Republican par
ty on the other hand is a believer
in strong government and IN addi-
ton TO that centralized govern
mont, as opposed to the old idea of
state rights. As the power passes
from the hands of the people 10
the general government their
rights become fewer and IN the
course of time instead of having a
representative government, we
would have a centralized power at
Washington with large standing
army behind 1t 10 enforce its edicts.
The hope of the country Is in main
tanning a Democratic government
and living up to the principles of
the fathers of Democratic party.

TIE Bolton Journal has long
been noted for its moderate and
conservative course. In the past
Bolton had some trouble with the
Santa Fe railway and at the time
the trouble occurred Mr.. Walter
Gresham was prominently connec-
ted with it. Mr.. Gresham was
smart enough to make some money
out of the railroad business and
therefore the Journal would op-
pose him. Judge Terrell ranks as
an opponent of railways, but If we
are not mistaken the Journal IA
vors Ireland for the United States
