That May BECOME the CIOstsO Stage Effect
of the Pending C0nDression0l Ercite-
nlesst.


Washington Special (May l4) to the Chicago


Times.


If the Bourbons are worsted at every
point, they have still left, under the rules,
the precious privilege of making faces at
the executive, and, according to joint rule
No. IL, this will provide means for an i'm
posing spectacle. This rule says:


When the Senate and House of Represen-
tatives shall judge it proper to make joint
address to the president it shall be presented
ident of the Senate in the presence of the
Speaker and both houses.


So when the long fight is over and the
butting against q stone is st an end, this
promises to be the closing stage effect.


1t is not possible that this address can be
prepared without formal and protracted
caucus. The terrible reproaches that are to
be heaped upon the Presidents head-the
concentrated essence of the vivacious Bour-
bonic interviews that have been telegraphed
the ISnaes-will all require much thought
and preparation, for this address, after it has
been formally hurled at the President in the
presence of both houses, will be printed in a
neat pamphlet and sent broadcast as q cam
paign document. The above programme is
one of the most terrific of the Bourbon
threats that can possibly be filled, for those
who would refuse to support the extremists
in any starvation policy would not deny this
easy satisfaction, particularly when it cannot
harm anyone.


1t is more clearly indicated every day
that there will be no starvation of the
government. Mr.. FELTON,, member of the
House committee on appropriations, sale
| this morning that he should hereafter vott
for appropriation bills pure and simple HI
only expresses the opinion of at leas
twenty-five of his Southern associates.
Meanwhile the regular routine business o
the existing Bourbon plan drags. Ut wa
hoped that the legislative bill could b
finished this week in the Senate, but Mr.
Eaton says there are thirteen Senators
who have given notice that they have some
thing to say, and if the same dali
average of the last few day
is kept up thirteen days will be re
quired to discharge the duties of this evil
intended body of statesmen. But it is prom
ised that some of these gifted men will nc
occupy entire afternoons, and this supposi
ton promises vote upon the bill the last 9
this week or the first of next. After tba

The Csar's O.Us Account Of the attempted


ASSASSINATION.


A st. Petersburg correspondent of the
Paris France states that, as soon as the czar
had entered the Winter Palace after the at
tempt had been made to shoot him, he gave
orders for all his friends and the high state
officials to be admitted to his presence, and
repeated to them the event which had just
occurred in the following terms:


81 was taking my usual walk this morn
ing at 8 o'clock, and feeling rather tired,
was about to return to the palace, when
saw coming toward me, along the deserted
flags, good-looking young man of about 80
years of age. I looked at him mechanically
as he approached, thinking the while if that
man wished to kill me it would be very easy
for him to do SO. This strange presentiment
was all the more inexplicable as there was
nothing in the strangers appearance to sug-
gest his being conspirator. He wore the
dress of clerk in the finance department,
and his demeanor was perfectly correct. AS
these thoughts we're passing through my
mind, saw him put his hand into the
pocket of his cloak, take from it q
pistol, and aim at me-. In
stinctively darted aside. The shot went of
and missed me. just as was on the point
of calling for help second shot went off
and, thanks to the movement made to right
myself, it likewise missed its aim. I then
called for help. Policemen appeared imme.
diately. walked straight toward the would
be assassin, who stood still few PAGES off
His arm seemed suddenly paralyzed. Tht
men rushed at him. He then seemed to re
cover himself, and fired two more shots, ont
of which unfortunately wounded one of m.
preservers, while the other hit the wall nea
me. At last the wretch was secured and dis
armed. Thereupon, to tell you the truth,
felt rather faint, and I was brought back t.
the palace. Let us praise God, my friends
It is He who has spared my life."

see the supremacy of the Constitution replaced by the omnipotence of any de- partRent of the Government

 The enactment of this bill into law will establish a precedent which will tend to destroy the equal independt nee of the several branches of the Govern ment. Its principle places, not merely the Senate and the Executive, but the Judiciary also, under the coercive dicta- tion of the House. The House alone will be the judge of what constitutes 8 grievance, and also of the means and measure of redress. An act of Congress to protect elections is now the grievance complained of. But the House may on the same principle determine that any other act of Congress, treaty made by the President with the advice and con- sent of the Senate, nomination or ap- pointment to office, or that decision or opinion of the Supreme Court is a grievance, and that the measure of re- dress is to withhold the appropriations required for the support of the offending branch of the Government.

 Believing that this bill is dangerous violation of the spirit and meaning of the Constitution, am compelled to re- Luru 1G IO buo hOuS0 Ill WHICH It OTISl- mated without my approval. The quail fled negative with which the Constitu- tion invests the President is trust that involves @ duty which cannot decline to perform.

 With firm and conscientious purpose to do what can to preserve unimpaired the constitutional powers and equal in- dependence, not merely of the Execu- tive but of every branch of the Govern me1t which will be imperilled by the adoption of the principle of this bill, desire earnestly to urge upon the House of Representatives 8 return to the wise and wholesome usage of the earlier days of the republic, which excluded from appropriation bills all irrelevant legisla- tion. By this course you will inaugurate an important reform in the method oi Congressional legislation. Your action will be in harmony with the fundamental principles of the Constitution and the patriotic sentiment of nationality, which is their firm support, and you will re- store to the country that feeling of con fi1ence and security and the repose which are so essential to the prosperity of all of our fellow citizens.

A Monaco letter to the London Times says :-The stories of ruin every day, sometimes on good authority, are horri- ble. Fortunes, trust money, provision for children and widows, the sums &C., quired by the sale of commissions, sums raised on house and land, have disap- peared in few days or hours. Often it is the extravaganza of the companion that drives her victim back and back to the tables, deeper and deeper. But the the women themselves are the most reck- less gamblers. The common computa- tion is suicide a month, and there sometimes come three or four together. On the ramparts or the garden of Mon aco. there are several points from which ruined gamblers have thrown themselves into the sea three hundred feet below. Only the other day "lady threw her. self out of her third floor chamber into the road. There have been suicides in the rooms of the Casino, and one at the table itself. Having staked and lost his last franc, a gentleman stood up and drew, his pistol and discharged it in his mouth. For the reception of such scan. dals there is provided a room, handy for the railway, which passes almost direct ly under the Casino. Some inquest there must be, and it is performed by the ser wants of the establishment. But most of the victims go away and hide them selves, aud die like a sick dog in some corner, where they hasten death or let broken heart take it's course. It is inn possible to conjecture the total amount | of the annual ruin; nor is that an i'm portant matter, for the loss of a few hundred is as utter ruin to some people as tens of thousands is to others. When a man cannot meet his creditors, or even his wife and children, it is all over with him, unless he is devoid of natural feel ing and loss of shame. The mere ex' citement of days gambling has been known to kill people constitutionally

 weak of heart and head, whether they

 have won or lost. Ecstacy works the

 effect of despair in such cases. People

 have been known to go to Monte Carlo

 tors that it will be their death if they

 do, return home late and die in few hours. The attraction once given way to becomes irresistible. It is on this fact that the bank chiefly stands. If { visitor loses, he leaves the table ant there is an end of him. If he gains, h. always returns and plays till he has los

The fact is sufficiently es abolished in the public mind that very large class of diseases originate a vitated and impure state of the blood, and that such diseases can be removed by such remedies only as enter the circulation and produce their therapeutic effect directly upon the cause There are many external and foreign causes, as well as interoal. by which the blood may become impaired, but the alimentary cavity including the stomach is the principal avenue through which the causes of disease commit thel- depredations on the vital economy The stomach is peculiarly centre of irritation and sartlny point of disease to the whole body. Itis continually liable to be dis turbsd and lrritated in itself, and always comm unicates It's irritation, less extensively, to other organs and hence all the secret,ons become vitisted and impaired. the blood partakes of the foul matter secreted and disease in all its various forms is induced thereby Thus it is seen that vitiated and impure blood is the corrupt fountain which sends its contaminating streams through all the minute ramfcations of the veins and arteries, engendering disease, sapping the very foundations of ife and sowing broadcast the seeds of premature decay and death through the wh ole vital domain.

Speaking Of the action Of the recent
Republican convention in Louisiana,
the New York Times says:


"From beginning to end there is in
the platform no mention of blood, no
mention of revolution, no allusion to
hideous violence, no hint that another
war is necessary, no call for North
ern conqueror to dictate terms of an
other peace. These exciting themes
are reserved for Northern platforms.
The men who now speak for the Re-
publican party in Louisiana have no
relish for tactics designed to irritate
one section and to excite the passions
Of anothcr.''


Nevertheless the Republican party
in the North arc practically "A unit in
favor of "tactics designed to irritate
one section and to excite the passions

lican convention in the Northern
States during the past year, the pro-
ceedings of which have not begun and
ended with appeals to sectional preiu-
dice and hatred. These are represent
ed by what is known as "the bloody
shirt" the Republican banner for the
approaching presidential campaign
the banner eufogized by Pierrepont,
sa1uted by Chandler, and hailed with
delight by the whole "rag-tag and

nor Wiltz, of joint political canvass
with Judge Beattie, was eminently
proper, and Is to be commended by a II
right thinking people. If there were
questions of principle and problems of
craftsmanship involved in this cam
vass, which 1t might be desirable to
illustrate and elucidate before the pub
lie, there might be some propriety in
a joint discussion of the questions in
volved, but there is nothing of the
kind on hand in the present campaign.
The struggle is between a people whose
prosperity and future welfare are at
stake, on one side, and q party which
in the past has proved itself to he their
worst enemy, on the other.


The people, after infinite pains and
loss, have succeeded in wrestling con-
troll of the State from that party, and
they are not likely to hear from its
orators anything that can reconcile
them to return of its power; hence
there is no reason why the Democratic
candidates should require their follow
ers to listen to Republican harangues,
under the circumstances, as they would
have done by giving opportunities for
such discussion. The Republicans can
of course gather together their adher-
ents and make speeches to them just

is no reason the Democrats should put
themselves out of the way to furnish
audiences to the Republican orators.


This, however, is the smallest part
of the affair. The party managers who
are behind Judge Beattie and his res.
pectable State ticket do not indulge the
faintest hope of carrying the State for
their candidates. They are much too
astute for that. They are looking far
beyond this State canvass to the COM
ing presidential campaign of next year,
for which it is now highly important
to get the party in training. Louisiana
held the key to the presidential chair
three years ago, and it would be no
strange thing if it should do SO year
from now. Moreover, any joint pub
lie discussion of the methods, in which
the Republican party in this State has
in times past worked out its policy
would be calculated to engender bad
blood and bring on angry personal col
lisions, matters which might be useful
as political capital at the North in the
next presidential campaign, but which
it is to the highest interests of the
South to avoid, and to expunge from
its politics.. The public political dis
cussions on both sides are free to all,
and those who choose to hear Judge
Beattie's oratory will attend his ap-
pointments. He cannot we'll desire
