A WONDERFUL NEWSPAPER NAN.

A Bulietin man had the pleas
ure of dining yesterday on the
steamer Marable and n g3odly
number of steamboat men. Rome
Bulletin.
The idea Of a newspaper man
in the very heart of civilization
dining on n steamer and goodly
number OF steamboat men is sim
ply appalling. Talk OF the canni-
balism Of the South Sea Island !,
and the nan eating horrors of po-
lar expeditions in comparison
with the exploit OF this Rome
newspaper mani Shades of
Olympus! What an appetite he
must have; what powerful Iii
gestiye apparatus to eat an entire
steamboat with q humber of steam
boat hands thrown in by way of
desert Why, the dime Museum
and ten cont shows Will fairly
yell with delight at the intelli-
gence, and the only drawback to
his securing an engagement will
be the difficulty of procuring
enough steamboats, and steamboat
men wherewith to feed him. Some
steamboat men might have con
scientious scruples about being
eaten and object to carrying out
the programme in this respect.

/: would seem to be truth mp
preciable by all, aud especially by
professors Of the healing art, that
to remove the disease, not to ale
viate its symptoms, should be tho
chief aim of medication Yet in
how many instances do we SOC
this truth admitted in theory, *
nored in practice. The
reason that Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters is successful in 80 manv
cases, with which remedies
previously tried were Inadequate
to cope, is attributable to the fact
that it is a medicine which reacr
es md removes the causes Of the
various maladies to which it is
adapted. Indi gestion, fever and
ague, liver complaint, G ,ut rhen
matism, disorder Of the bowels,
urinary affections and other mala-
dies are not palliated merely, but
rooted ont by it. 1t goes to the
fountain head. 1t is really. not
nominally, n radical remedy. and
it cndows the system with m
amount Of vigor which is ITS best
protection against disease.

POLITICS OF TIE WAR.
Curious Story of an Attempt to Form
Conservative Party.

curious SCOEy Oh -1IScOPS ~ otAA q
Conservative Party.
The discussion Of the political fea-
lures of the terms first offered 10 Gen.
Johnstou's army and overruied at
Washington is likely to lead to tue
development of some facts which are
new. An ex-uf6cer of the volunteer
forces, was al Rseish with Geu. Sher-
mans army, tells an interesting story
Of some private discussions among
prominent officers, which were nlalnl!
confined to those who commanded
armies or corps. He says that when
the troops of Gen. sherman formed a
junction witt. Gen. Schofeld'S army al
GoldShuro, plan for . Na'iona! Con-
seryative party, which WAS said 10
have origih2ted in Washington, was
laid before most Of the Leading officers.
Montgomery Blair was represented ~
the leading spirit At the National Cap
ital.
According to the views which were
presented for him through his brother,
Gen. Frank Blair, and others, there
was very general dissatisfaction at
the North with the radical views held
bv Secretary Stanton, Secretary Chase,
Ben Wade, Zachariah Chandler, Chas.
Summer and others. AS TO Mr.. Lin
coin, it was still question whether he
would finally side with the Radicals or
favor 8 conservative Reconstruction.
It was therefore proposed tuat the
prominent officers of the army should
unite in sn effort to influence the SOL
diers to favor, 50 soon as the war ended
and the question of reconstruction
came up, the organization of National
Conservative party which should ig-
more all the Radical lesders named
and others Of their class; which should
also exclude the Northern Copper
heads as necessary condition TO >oi-
diers' support; which should he made
up of war Democrats and Southern
politicians and officers, and provide
prominent places for all Northern
officers who would join the movement.
This proposition WAS receiving much
attention at the various headquarters
about Goldsboro wher the news came
of tue surrender of Lee. A number
of leading officers favored it, and sew
eral were tourd. upon sounding them,
to be much opposed. 1t is believed 10
nave prompted the liberal spirit with
which Ge::. Sherman acted when max
ing his terms with Gen. Johnston.
The excitement at the North attending
the assassination of President Lincoln,
AID the interpretation Put upon the
Sherman terms by Secretary Stanton
u,ade it impossible to pursue tke plan
further ut that time.
According to the same authority,
later in the same year Montgomery
B..air and those working with him in
The matter revived his scheme, and
agents were dispatched to various mil
itary headquarters to unfold it. Tue
break of President Johnson with his
party was the result, aud at the Arm
