Doctor "Yea, sir. Of the four thousand papers
published in the United State, I advertise lu two
thousand seven hundred.'

enter into a few details which may intercut you.
Home eighteen yearn ago I had a small drug store In
the city of Philadelphia, and at that time manufac
tured my mild extract. They had trat a limited
Rale, and it required considerable effort to bring
them to the notice of physicians. I was tolerably
anvceiwfnl ultimately, and they were very generally
prescribed by medical practitioners. At this time
extracts were sold In bulk by the pound as 'pare
goric,' yrnp of squills,' and other compounds are
mild. My business increased in this way, but the
' protection afforded me was slight A drug
gist, receiving a physician's prescription for
my article, for Instance, would, In many
cases, substitute that of 'his own manufacture,
thereby causing difficulty between the practitioner
and myself. ly Interests became so completely
jeopardized that I concluded either not to sell to
dealers in bulk, notify physicians of my determina
tion, and be satisfied to remain an obscure drugglHt
, in the upper part of a large city, or adopt some en
tirely different method. My mind was considerably
' exercised as to what plan was the best to adopt I
was aware of the Blngular prejudice existing in the
minds of practitioners and 'hlgh-toucd druggists'
against advertised remedies; and, in truth, I then
hod but limited means at my command to experi
ment in 'printer's ink,' when, one bright morning,
while I was sitting In my store waiting for customers,
the Kev. Mr. Oninn, of l'hiliidelplilii, hsippencd In, and
aid, 'Doctor, you have a nice little store, and seem
to be doing-a fair business;' to which I replied
in the affirmative. He then remarked, 'Doctor, this
is a business I think would suit me. I presume I
eonld employ a competent druggist, devote some of
my spare time to looking after the business, and thus
make It pay. What think you?' The idea at once
flashed across my miud to sell out, and I said I did
not suppose he would have any difficulty in carrying
out his proposition, lie then inquired the amount I
wonld sell out for, whereupon I named a sum, and
he accepted the offer. The negotiation was no
sooner concluded than I began to look out for a new
nliwp. and. with a few hundred dollars as mv cash
capital, was not long in finding a small office, at No.
S10 Chesnut street, Philadelphia, which I rented,
opened, and made ready for business lu a few days.
Advertising to me was a new and nntrled Held ; but,
with the small capital left, I determined to know
and that quickly its merits und value; for even at
that early date I was no nana to loiter, ana i con-
stock and expended all my surplus cash amounting

mental programme worked admirubly, and from that
time I contiuued to succeed, and liicrcuscd my ad
vertising in a corresponding proportion. On these
principles I have managed to enlarge and expand
my business, until It bus assumed its preseut magni
tude." Editor "But, doctor, how do yon manage about
the making of contracts, the payments to pub
, Ushers, etc.?"
Duitur "Oh 1 that Is a simple matter. When I
have funds to spare I iuvest the money In extending
my same and business, just as a man noes wuo pur
chases real estate or cultivates a farm; aud 1 con
sider the investment equally good, lu every resK-t.
Nor do 1 ever attempt to make contracts without the
means to make payments; anymore than a good
farmer would think of cultivating Uis soil without
the funds to pay for cultivation."
Editor "Hut, doctor, you have not yet exactly
answered my question ; wliut I wish to know more
particularly Is, how you muke your contracts, and
how you kuow what profits are derived from the dif
ferent sourcj-s?"
Doctor "Well, these are questions frequently
asked of ine in my place of business, on the streot,
or wherever I may happen to be. it U one of the
first questions asked by business men, and, more
over, I seldom open iny dally correspondence with
out finding two or three letters relative to the same
subject, some going so far as to ask my views of the
value, as advertising mediums, of the different papers
1 patronize. These writers always receive civil re
plies. But, while we are on this theme, Mr. Kdllor.
Ieriuit me to relate a little Incident that occurred
to me, and which I frequently relate to those with
whom I am familiarly acquainted. It happened
about fifteen years ago, while I was yet young In the
business. To commence: I chanced to be In the
city of Washington, on my way South, and, as usual,
was desirous of progressing on my journey as rapidly
as possible. It was about 8 V. M. when I ur
riveiL I did not wait nntil .alter dinner; I
wanted to kuow the proprietor of the leading paper
in the capital, and to muke a contract for advertis
ing; so to him 1 straightway proceeded. He was
out riding, I was informed, aud would not return to
his ofllce ugaln that duy. I inquired for his residence,
and this ascertained, 1 determined to see him that
night, as I desired to leave early on the morning of
the following day. Dinner being over, I started out
in search of Mr. Wallach. Now, Mr. Kditor, I presume
you are acquainted with the said Mr. Wallach., of the
Washington Kerning Mar. If you are not, permit me
to say that he is a geutleman well worthy of your
acquaintance. Hut to the Interview. Finding Mr.
Wallace .at homo, I presented my curd, aud related
my business. His reply was polite "but pungent, aud
to the point, In something like these words:
"This is not my office, sir; I can be found there
from 10 A. M. to S P. M.,und my clerks attend to
advertising.' 'But, Mr. Wallach,' I remonstrated.
'that is all very well, but I waut to know you, I
wish to leave in the early morning train, and I know
yon will accommodate me.' 'Well, whut do you
want, sir, in the way of advertising r I showed him
the space, for which he immediately named a price,
and which I accepted as quickly. After closing the
bargain he remarked, 'If you hud left this over until
morning you could have had It lor one-half the sum
yes, probaUy for less than half, if you had fought
hard. I replied, 'If that is the case, probably I had
better pay half yearly lu advance V 1 le gueswxl that
was a good Idea, and I paid for the whole six months
in advance: but, rememler, I kiu-w Mr. H'allarh."
.ficitfor "Doctor, do you meuu to state that yon

which you advertise, and are yon acquainted with

PERILS OF THE SEA.
The Particulars of the Loss of the
Steamship Hermann Two Hun
dred Human Heings Swal
lowed Up by tho Ocean
The Captain's
Account
It is our sad dnty, says the Japan Gazttte, to report
the loss of the Pacific Mall Steamship Company's
steamer Hermann. On the night of the lath of
February, at about 9 o'clock, she ran uion a reef
about KRl miles down the coast of Japan, the weather
being exceedingly misty at the time. From the first
there was no hope of getting her off, or even of
saving the lives of all on board, of whom over two
hundred perished. The survivors, having landed,
walked three days along the coast, when they got a
.Japanese boat to bring them up to Yokohama, where
they arrived at 4 o'clock this afternoon. Captiln
Newell thus recounts the disaster:
TUB CAITAIN'8 BTORV.
I was ordered to take command of the Hermann as
soon as that vessel should return to Yokohama from
Yeddo, aud did so on the morning of the 13th of
February. There were then-on tniard three hundred
and fifty passengers and a crew of eighty men. The
heavy southwesterly gale which had prevailed for
twenty-four hours previously hud broken ; the wind
had veered to N. and K., anil the barometer indicat
ing better weather, I proceeded to sea at noon, bound
to the Straits of Saugar. Outside of Capo Sagainl
we encountered a heavy southwesterly swell,
bnt wind fresh from N. and K. Passed the
breakers on the Mllla I.cdge, about six miles distant,
at 4-30 P. M., and then steered N. K. by K till 7 P. M. ;
then steered N. K. by K. )4 K. one hour; then K. N.
K. till 7 P. M. ; then steered K. by N. ; N., the ship
making about seven knots per hour against the
strong wind. These courses should have taken tho
ship alibut right miles from the land at the point of
Kawatzu, but I supposed the heavy S. W. sea
would set her on shore, and, therefore, thonght
the distance from land might be about five miles.
The second olllcer was stationed forward in the
bows on the lookout. The night was extremely
dark and hazy; so that I saw the land very in
distinctly, and altered the ship's course to tho
eastward In tho manner H'lated above, to give the
point (distance about seventy-five miles from Yoko
hama) a wide berth ; the native pilot on board having
told me that there was a reef off the point, although
its existence was not indicated on the chart, nor
mentioned In the sailing directions. I steered this
course F by N. from 7 till 9 o'clock. I had then
no apprehensions whatever, and had just been aft to
the standard compass to examine the course
made by It, and was going forward again when I
discovered breakers off the port-bow, and imme
diately after saw them ahead. I then ordered the
helm "hard a port." The ship at once answered the
movement of the helm, but was caught by a tremen
dous roller and thrown with great violence upon the
rocks, striking first forward and then aft when
raised by the following swell. Successive seas
breaking upon the ship with great violence forced her
over the reef, tho water filling the ship meanwhile
rapidly. The vessel thus drifted In shore, the sea
breaking outside of her till she had settled fairly
upon the bottom, and to the hurricane deck; this
was about one o'clock A. M. She had by this time
broken open amidships; the bows were stove In, and
the hull more or less broken by the foremast. I had
concluded after striking that it was surest for the
people to cling to the wreck, as no boat could live la
the breakers about us, and I ordered that the life
boats should not be lowered. The life-preservers, of
which there were a great numler, were got up, and
the passengers shown their nse. 1 threw up
some signal-rockets, when the people on shore
lighted fires In a little bav on which the
town of Kawatzu is situated. At 10-30 P. M. the
port boats were sw-pt away, two of them being at
once swamped alongside. Some of the crew Jumped
into the third one, and got clear of the wreck, but It
was overwhelmed close by. Soon after I bad tho
starboard loat8 lowered, which wero quickly filled
with people. In two of them they cut the painter,
uiul utti.iiiiiti'il to reach the shore, but were swainncil
a short distance from the wreck. The third ami last
boat cost adrift from the veysel, nut reiaalned
under the cover the wreck afforded from the break
eas for about half an hour, and then went
in towards the shore. As the wreck settled deeper
the people came upon the hurricane deck. Be
tween midnight and 1 A. M., one of the gunnels
fell upon Hie king rods, und thence rolling forward
upon the hurricane deck broke it off amidships,
causing loss of life to a number of people collected
there. Before the chimney fell, the foremast had
gone. The sea reaching the hurricane deck, broke
up the whole of It forward, but tho after portion
floated riff almost entire, and remained In this way
alongside, and seemed to save forty or llfty pf pie.
We then collected on the wheel-houses aud in the
rigging. The wind and sea moderated rapidly, the
former veering to the south and west, and coming off
the land very cold and piercing. Some of the people
were washed off aoine tried to nave thems.-lves on
pieces of the floating wreck. The boats being mostly
life-boats, although swamped, still floated, and were
washed into the small bay by the surf, und those
persons who clung to them were saved.
It Is iuiiKisHible for me to estimate the loss of life.
The ship first struck tho reef at 9 P. M., and bad
not settled, so that the sea dashed and broke up the
hurricane deck till about 1 A. M. ; and those who
were swept away in the various casualties happening
in the Interval were carried in shore by the surf,
while flouting by the life-preservers or by clinging to
portions of the wreck. We suffered greatly Irom the
cold, and some of those in the rigging proved unable
to endure it.
At daylight I found the wreck lying about three
fourths of a mile from the shore, aud near the bay
mentioned above. The ship struck about a quarter
of a mile further out, but was swept by the heavy
rolling seas to the spot where she finally settled. I
had little hope, from the appearance of the coast,
that those who were in the boats during the night
were saved ; but, as It afterwards proved, many of
them were. About one hundred people still remained
on the wreck. Soon one of tho ship's boats and a
number of native craft came off from the shore. The
latter would not come alongside, so that I was
obliged to transfer the people from the wreck to them
by means of the ugntooau v neu, nowever, tne
weather moderated still more, the Japanese boats
came alongside and helped to tako off tho balance of
the people. At 8 I'. M. all those who remained
by the ship during the night were safely lauded on
shore.
Berore closing 1 would remark that the behavior of
the Japanese was heroic When the ship struck
these brave men, suddenly roused from sleep by the
awful crash,seemed to comprehend their situation in
u moment. No stampede ; no disorder. From tho
first they were quiet and cool, retalnlug wonderfully
their presence of miud, and calmly awaiting the
commands of their leader. This olllcer called them
on board, and uftcr consulting with me as to the
nroiier course to be pursued, ordered ills men to stay
by the ship.
On hearing this they retired to their rooms, where
they remained until driven from thein by the water
rising In the vessel. None of thein attempted to
leave the ship without permission from the olllcer in
command.
On arriving fat Kaw atzu. we mustered lifty-cight
officers aud crew; the first officer, a water-tender,
and twenty of the crew having been lost. We walked
sixty miles through the country, meeting everywhere
with kindness, and reaching the head of Y'eddo Buy,
obtoiued the boat w hich brought us to Yokohama.

The ship Frederick, of St, Johns, Captain Arm
strong, from Manilla, arrived at New York yester
day afternoon, ami reported the picking up, on tho
morning of January 6, of a boatload of the crew aud
passengers of the ship Adele, which vessel, on her
vovage from Bremen lor Kangoon, had accidentally
caught lire and been totally destroyed. The follow
ing facts were ascertained from the Captain of the
Frederick. At 8 A. M.. on the morning of January
6, when In latitude 11 dig. bo
mln., tho ' Frederick , discovered a small bout,
containing ten persons, who were making signals of
distress. Captain Armstrong immediately brought
his ship to the wind, and soon had the boat along
side and took the alilpwrecked men aboard. They
proved to be Captain Hogedorn of tho Bremen ship
Adele, six of his crew, und three passengers. Cup
talu Ilagedorn reported that on the Aid of December,
in hit. ift-M, Ion. 90-ao, his ship, then bound on a
voyage from Bremen to Itungoon, loaded w ith coal,
took lire lu the hold from some unknown cuuse.
They did everything jHisslblo to arrest the progress
of the flames, but with no avail, aud were forced
to abandon the vessel. The crew and passenger,
W) persons in all, got away from the burning ship In
safety They were divided off into three boats, under
the ctiminaud of the Captain, First Mate, aud Second
Male. Toe Itoau did uot keep together, aud an
nothing has been heard from the other two it la
feared that they have gone down with those on
board. The Captain party had been fourteen days
at sea In the same boat, and had suffered exceed
ingly for want of food and water. The first
day cut their provisions were almost destroyed
by water, and for the last Ave days
had almost nothing to eat, and only
one-half a gill of water per day l to quench their
burning thirst. For days after being so providen
tially saved by Captain Armstrong most of the men
were almost crazy, crying for water and food, but
after a short time tbey all recovered, and on the Nth
of February Captain Armstrong landed all bnt one,
whom he kept aboard, at Fort Natal, South Africa.
llal Captain Armstrong kept on tho course he was
following tip to 4 A, M. on the morning the boat was
discovered, It Is probable the ten men would never
have been rescneiL But, for some reason, the can
tain changed his course several points at 4 A, M.,
and thus fortunately discovered the boat.
HYDROPHOBIA.
Three Children Bitten In Wilmington by n
tabid Io.
The Wilmington (Del.) Commercial of last evening
contains the following:
Yesterday afternoon a large black dog, belonging
to John Moore, who resides on a farm near the Oon
cord toll-gate, displayed symptoms of rabies, and
onddvnly rushed at and bit a cow belonging to Mr.
Moore: he next sprang at an ox, but that animal
raised its head In time to avoid the spring, and s
suinlng a threatening attitude, deterred the dog from
further attack. The dog then started towards Mr.
Moore, who got out of its way, thinking something
bad Infuriated the animal, but not at first suspecting
hydrophobia. Immediately after this the dog
started towards the city. On his way towards
the Bnindywlue he bit a dog belonging to a man
named Trusty. Reaching Jessnp's road, he turned
towards that purt of the city formerly known as
Brandywine Village, and turned up the Philadelphia
road. At the corner of this road and Mill road he
caught a dog belonging to a butcher and shook It.
Some men were working there putting np a gas
lamp, and one of them picked up a heavy stone and
struck the mad dog on the head. It caused him to
loosen his hold and he ran on up the Philadelphia
road. At Vandevcr avenue he bit one or two other
dogs, and shortly afterwards met a cow and two
young heifers. lie attacked them and they tried to
avoid him, but he chased them back and forth across
the road until he succeeded In biting each of them.
He next turned np l.ummot street, and here comes
the most horrible purt of the affair.
Some little children were playiug In front of a row
of tenement houses there, ami the dog made for
them. He first caught a little boy, six or seven years
old, a son of Edward Nugent. He dragged the child
off of a porch, to which he hnd fled for protection,
and dragged him out In the road, terribly tearing and
lacerating his arm.
He next bit a little girl, about six years old, one of
a couple of twins, daughters of William Carter. He
also bit another little girl, the daughter of Dennis
Donovan. The dog now turned back to the Philadel
phia road and run rapidly northward, biting one or
two other dogs. He was pursued by a crowd of
twenty or thirty with guns, etc., and was chased
from the time he left the city limits, shortly after 4
o'clock, until about P. M., when ho was killed on
the farm of 11 Wilson, a short distance abovo the
city limits. AH the dogs known to have been bitten
have been killed.
The excitement In the Sixth ward (formerly Bran
dywine village) was intense, and has not yet abated,
while a feeling of the most profound sympathy with
the terrible grief of the parents of the unfortunate
children is deeply felt. Dr. Miller Is attending the
children. But little if any hopes are entertained of
the possibility of human aid saving them from the
frightful death to which they seem doomed, while tho
suspense and horror of their parents for the next
few weeks must be intense.
THE CHASSEPOT.
A ('liana In Itlllllury Blano-uvres Nerownry.
A correspondent of tho Kurd gives the following
details of the Chassepot musket: "Experiments with
this arm have shown that the present military ma
noeuvres must necessarily be changed. The execu
tion made with It is such that entire battalions would
be swept down as If by a cannonade. The men must
present the smallest surface possible. They must be
taught to spread themselves out as sharpshooters,
and to form groups behind trees and on advanta
geous positions. A proposal was made that, when
tho troops are formed In line of battlo, they
should dig a trench and throw np the earth bo
fore them to form a rampart; but for that to be
lone the soldiers wonld require to bo armed as
sappers, and some time would be necessary to
execute such entrenchments. As a substitute, the
men's knapsacks will be piled before the lirst line.
In any case the" formation of squares will be en Irely
abandoned, as they do not resist the enemy, and the
troops on the flanks cannot tiro. At present, to re
sist tho heaviest shock of cavalry, all that will be
necessary Is two lines, the second of which will load
the arms of the first. The purt to be played by
mounted soldiers in battlo appears to be so much re
duced that three-fourths of them might be sup
pressed, the heavy cavalry especially. The only use
of the horse will now be to make reconnoissanc.es or
pursue fugitives. In the next campaign a matter of
importance will be for the army to understand the
power of the musket, and not fall into confusion
before the Prussian nccdle-gun. Tho war should
necessarily be a work of attack and not of defense,
us what is wanted Is not so much troops who stand
firm as soldiers who advance. The Zouaves and
native regiments ot Algeria would be of grout
utility."
GREECE.

The Indignation of the Greeks at the conduct of
Itussia during the late difllcultiea Is very strongly
expressed In their press at Constantinople, which
now uses every effort to show that the SU Peters
burg Cabinet has always been opposed to tho estab
lishment of a great Ureek kingdom, and that It only
supported the national aspirations of the Hellenes
with the object of provoking the distrust of Western
Kurope. A remarkable article In this sense, entitled
"Pauslavlsm and Turkey," Is published lu the Keolo
go, a Journal hitherto chiefly known for its attach
ment to itussia. The writer quotes history to prove
that Itussia looks upon Greece as her rival In tho
Fast and as the chief obstacle to the development of
Pansluvlsm. In the late Turco-Ureek dispute, he
says, and In the Cretan question, the Cabinet of St,
Petersburg foresaw Unit its pretended efforts to pro
cure the annexation of Crete to the Greek kingdom
would meet with a check: but It nevertheless stimu
lated the Government of King George to an aggres
sive policy, with the object of diverting the attention
of the Western powers from Its own Punslavlst In
trigues on the Diiuube. The XeolooH concludes by
urging its countrymen no longer to allow themselves
to be made the tools of Itussia, but rather to earn the
sympathy of the West by opposing Pauslavism and
preventing Itussia from extending her iuilueuce iu
Uie East. 1'all Mall Uazette.

A Paris correspondent gives the following account
of a curious scandal that has occupied the attention
of aristocrutie circles In that city :
The husband of tho lady bore a name well known
in the annals of the first empire, but, on his mar
riage, added the more undent one of his wife to his
own. The Marquise C do K is the mother of
four littlo children. In society she met and en
couraged the advances of Commandant Theve, a
married man, but separated from his wife, and pos
sessed of considerable fortune. The Intimacy is said
to have lasted six months. M. Theve suddenly
leurned that an otlicer In his own corps shared tho
heart of the Marquise. Kesolved on vengeance, ho
certainly devised the most frightful scheme that the
human mind Is rapublo of. Determined to
prove to his brother officer that ho hud tho Mar
quise completely in his power, lie summoned her to
his barruck-room. What passed during the interval
of her arrival and tho moment when a shot, heard
from within the locked doors of his apartment,
attracted the attention of the oillcers In tiio neigh,
boring rooms, is not known, but on bursting
open tho door, the Marquise, partially undressed, and
bearing marks of a recent, struggle, pointed to a
bleeding corpse lying on the bed. Commandant
Theve hud shot himself through the heart. An hour
later his son, a youug man of seventeen, came to
the barracks to see his father. Ho was, however,
prevented from entering tho room where the body
lay till tho event hud been broken to him by the
brother oillcers of bis father. M. Theve wus u man
of forty; tho Marquise Is about Uilrly. M. Theve
was burled without mililary honors, which In Franco
are not granted to suicides.

London, April 21. The London papers of to
day comment very freely on the present 6Uto of
affairs In Cuba.
The Telegraph, a ministerial organ, moderate
iu tone, suye that lu regard to the independence
of Cuba England is unbiased, but at the same
time admits that England's Interests can be best
subserved by Spain retaining her authority in
the island. The article does not say, however,
that iu any case It should be the duty of England
to interfere and endeavor to prevent Cubau in
dependence, but it maintains that the good
offices of England might prove useful to avert a
quarrel between Spain and America. It desig
nates the seizure of the bhip Mary Powell as a
mad act, implicating England, Spain's best
friend, unless the latter country offers reparation
for the insult. The article then goes on to argue
that the Cubans can never willingly attach theiu
sclf to the United States.
The London Owl of this evening also has its
say on Cuban matters. It argues that President
Grant has been mad on the subject of Cuba, and
thinks that England and Eranec would declare
war if America attempts to wrest the bland from
Spain. Grant, says the Owl, longs for a foreigu
war, knowing, as he does, that the feeling at
present pervading American otllciubi is one of
intense hatred to England and, though in a less
degree, to France.

correspondent of the New York Tribune., and
A. J. Ramsdell aud W. B. Shaw, also press

Office oir the Rvkntno Triloba ph,I '
Tlmntday, April 22, 1IM.
Our local Money market to-day was in a
strange contrast with its condition last week.
The supply of loanable funds appeared ample for
all the requirements of our business men, and
the rates for loans are down to the traditionary
6 per cent., with exceptional cases at a still
lower figure. With a continttauce of
tliis condition of the 'Money market it will be
fair to assume that trade and business circles
will soon throw off that apathetic feeling which
has so long prevailed, and give place to a sub
stantial revival. This is all that is wanting to
make the country prosperous and happy, and
there really appears to be no further obstacle to
its attainment but what can be readily removed
by a prudent and wise course ou the part of capi
talists und business men.
We quote call loans at 6S'8 per cent., accord
ing to collateral, and prime biiMiueps paper at a
discount of StffilO per cent., according to grade.
The outride market continues to show little life,
and no difficulty is felt iu obtuiuiug funds ut the
above rates.
United States securities are again on the ad
vance, a rise of fully per cent, having taken
place since the opening, (iold is linn and steadv;
premium at 12 M. 134t'.
The Comptroller of the National Bank Bu
reau at Washington has called upon the national
banks for a statement of their condition us on
Saturday last, April 1 7.
There was less activity in the Stock market,
and prices had a downward tendency. State
and City Loans were neglected.
Heading Railroad was dull and weak, opening
at 47?i and selling up to 47-94, at which figure it
closed. Pennsylvania Railroad declined , sell
ing at 59; Philadelphia and Erie Railroad sold
ut Hayt&'iiS"; Camden and Amboy Railroad ut
124; and Lehigh Valley Railroad at 55;. X
was bid for Cutuwissa Railroad preferred; iJlj
for North Pennsylvania Railroud; and 51 for
MinebiU Railroad.
In Canal stocks no sales were reported. C3!-
was offered for Lehigh Navigation; J8 for
Schuylkill Navigation preferred; and 13.Y for
Susquehanna.
In Bank shares the only transac tion was in
Mechanics', which sold nWll.

PARSONS.
Tbeex-Govcruor of Alabama Give Mouse Sea
' sible Advice.
Kx-Governor Parsons of Alabama addressed the
people of Talladega on Wednesday, 7th Inst, giving
his views as to national and btate politics, la the
course of his speech he said:
I will not undertake ou this occasion to enume
rate ail we can do, but I respectfully offer for your
consideration the following suggestions:
1. Nothing good will result from abusing Mr.
Phillips and bis frleuds, nor President Grout and the
licpnbllcan party.
2. We must regard the existing Government In onr
81 ate as the Goveruuieut of Alabama, and as such
give it all the support ic our power, thereby render
ing It efficient in the maintenance of "law and or
der." In this way we shall secure the blessings of
"peace and prosperity." ,
8. We must permit every citizen to speak his senti
ments freely and without molestation, and. if neces
sary, protect him in so doing, so long as he does not
violate the peace and good order of society. If we
do not approve his sentiments we can peaceably re-
mc uuu if i uuu speuk 111 peuce ui inose wno uo. .
4. We must enforce the luws which now exist and
always have existed in this Ktate, at least since the
adoption of the penal code, agalust carrying con
cealed weupous. The practice of going armed is too
often the sole cause of deadly violence.
Ik We must, each and all, habitually act In obe
dience to law, because It Is the law, and inculcate
this duty ou all around us, both by precept and
example.
6. We must look uloue to the ballot-box and the .
legislative 1 tower to change bad laws not to
violence.
