THE action of the House Monday in the
case of Speaker Kerr was more than just.
On the part of the Republicans it was mag
unanimous, and the adherents of that party all
over the country will warmly endorse the
action of Gen. Garfield in securing The entry
on the House journal that the vote was unan-
imous. In this connection it is proper to
call attention to the fact that the country at
large will observe that the policy of the Re-
publicans in Congress and the Republican
press generally is in marked contrast with
that pursued by the Democrats toward Mr..
Blaine and Secretary Robson.
Year: 1876

THE rumor that Judge Hoar had written
Mr.. Blaine letter saying that he had changed
front and no longer favored his nomination
at Cincinnati, is denied by that gentleman,
who says that he has never written any letter
or dispatch or ever authorized any one to do
so, indicating any change in his policy at
Cincinnati.

law-books have very vulgarly ap-
propriated, that "he who seeks
equity must do equity" and in the
case in point the wife has some
privileges according to this rule.

WASHINGTON CITY, Feb. 14tb, 1875.


Mr. EDITOR II am advised that
my efforts to have the Southern
dead re inferred with decent burial
meets with ilIiberal, unnecessary,
and cruel criticism.


Allow me to say that the sincere
wish and only motive of my heart
in this work is to remove the re-
proach OF this neglect of the dead
from my adopted county, whose
cherished soil is doubly dear to
me. Prompted by the eternal cause
of philanthropy, justice and right
(Which means 'no effort at patriot
ism and the seeking of popular ia
vor'' l have been impelled to make
an attempt to repair the sad neg
lect to the dead. I am grieved to
be misunderstood and misconstrued,
and can but hope that the right
thinking and good people of Giles
will aid me to bring the work to a
successful termination, despite the
ill-timed and carping criticisms of
the few dispeptics. It matters not
what my political creed is OF may
have been. True still to my former
convictions, no question of the past
can affect the truth, merit and jus
tice of the object 1 espouse, even
the proper burial of the fallen brave
whose ashes are alike sacred to all
though left so long uncared for by
those whose duty it may more prop
erly have been to urge the work to
a completion. Respectfully,
