AN APPEAL to THE LEGISLATURE.
Gentlemen of the General: Assembly
Congress, thus far, has failed to provide a
sufficient remedy for the distressed condi
tion of the country. And, it is extremely
doubtful, whether any general law could be
passed that would meet the wants of the
many different sections of the Union. No
two are effected exactly alike. In Penn
sylvania we have a different state of finan.
cial distress from that of any other State
in the Union, brought about in the first
place by the general panic and aggravated
by our peculiar laws and usages. This
embarrassing condition, it seems to us,
can only be relieved by your Honorable
bodies. The only questions that should be
asked by you, we think, are : •`ls there
such a State of financial distress in this
State as calls fur the interposition of re
medial measures ? And, if so, what should
the remedies be ?"
Can any one doubt the universal dis
tress ? If he does, let him look at the
great columns of Sheriff sales that appear,
from month to month, in the various local
newspapers; let him inquire at any Pro
thonotary's office and learn the marvelous
increase of entries in the Continuance and
Execution Dockets; let him pass along
the streets of any village or town and be,
hold the erased shutters and bulletine(
doors of places of business; let him go ask
the common people and learn from them
the trials to which they have been sub.
jected. Every mouth is full of evidence
every hearth has been made sad by the
failure of some one near and dear to those
who circle around it. There can be no
doubt about it. What, then, has produced
this ruin and desolation r We can only
speak for our immediate vicinity, and we
presume the same facts apply, in a modi
fied form, to other localities. After the
failure of Jay Cook & Co., and the in
auguration of the Panic of 1873, all classes
lost confidence, and in all not purely cash
transactions, they began to ignore the usu
al commercial paper, which has received
the sanction of three hundred years, and
began to demand of the debtor an obliga
tion containing a Warrant of Attorney to
confess judgment, and a Waiver of all
Exemption laws, a Waiver of Stay of Ex
eeation, a Waiver of Inquisition, and
agreeing to a condemnation of all the prop
erty of the Payor ; in short waiving all the
wise provisions, which the legal wisdom,
covering, perhaps, a period of five hun
dred years, has matured for the protection
of the debtor. The debtor was willing to
place everything, save life itself, at the
mercy of the creditor. If times had grown
better instead of worse, the trust might
not have been misplaced. But depression
succeeded depression, and from anxiety
and doubt came panic, and with it, want of
reason. The consequence was that every
man who held his neighbor's obligation
swelled the crowd at the Prothonotary's
office, and the result can be imagined.
Those who believed themselves solvent, in
a few brief minutes, were left with scarcely
subsistence for a single day. And, when
the sale came, that, which cost hundreds,
was knocked down for a mere song. No
body to bid but the creditor. But we have
110 desire to prolong this picture.
What, then, should the remedy be ?
Ist. Common sense suggests that the
first step to be taken is to prevent the far
ther sacrifice of the debtor's property.—
This we presume can only be done by the
immediate passage of a Stay Law, and
2ndly. By preventing men from waiving
all the wise provisions
. which have been
devised for the protection of themselves
and families, so that there cannot be a re-
currence of the present trouble.
It is the duty of the State to preven
the impoverishment of its citizens. lidid
we appeal to you, gentlemen of the Assem
bly; to rise above any personal considera
tions, and grant us the relief for which we
pray, and especially do we appeal to the
Legal Fraternity, which makes up a large
proportion of your respective bodies, to
rise above the pettifogging notions of Po
lice Court Shysters, and give these reme
dies their hearty co-operation. We do
this the mere earnestly because the impres
sion has gone abroad that the lawyers are
determined to throw all manner of obsta-
Iles in the way of the relief which is here
asked
Gentlemen : Believing that you wish to
subserve the best interests of your State,
we have no doubt that the eyes, of the hun•
dreds of thousands who are weighed down
and oppressed with debt, as scarcely ever
man was oppressed, are not turned to you
in vain, and that ere the session of 1877
has closed, all will rejoice in the wisdom
which will have characterized your actions.
THE COMPROMISE.
We lay before our readers to-day the
proposition of the Joint Committee of the
National Senate and House of Represen
tatives for the settlement of the Presiden
tial muddle, with the comments of our
Washington correspondent thereon. We
do not regard the proposed measure with
that distrust that characterizes the com
ments of many of the leading Republican

cause the Constitution makes no pror:nion
for a tribunal of this kind, nor, permit us
to add, does the Constitution contemplate
such a condition of affairs as we have thrust
upon us. We are in deep water. Neither
the Constitution nor the laws, unless arbi
trarily constituted, make any provision for
us. What are we to do? Will we go
forward insisting upon our views of the
matter while one-half, or nearly so, of the
entire country charges us with resorting to
revolution ? It is asking too much to ex
pect anything of the sort. The Republi
can party is a law-abiding party. Its great
hosts only ask that they be fairly dealt
with.. They believe that it is almost im
possible to tell which party has honestly
carried Louisiana, and Louisiana decides
the question. They believe that great
wrongs were perpetrated there, but wheth
er there was a sufficient amount of intinti.
dation to change the result can only be
determined by the most thorough investi
gation. This board—Returning Board as
it is styled—will have ample power to.do
this. If, upon a most searching and
thorough investigation, it is found that
there were not sufficient intimidation to
change the result, let Hon. Samuel J. Til
den be declared elected, and, on the other
hand, if the position of the Republican
party is sustained the inauguration of Gov.
Hayes will follow as a matter of course.
The Republican party cannot afford to take
any other position: It would be suicidal.
We, therefore, hope that the plan suggest
ed,. or something similar to it,—anything
in fact—that will establish a tribunal that
will weigh the evidence to be submitted
and decide accordingly. Our voice is fur
Justice and Peace let the verdict strike
where it will.

Come now and let us Reason Together.
Wby do people so frequently say to Dr.
Pierce, "I suppose your Golden Nediol Dis
covery cures every thing ?" Because it has
been the practice of knavish cbarletans to
manufacture worthless nostrums and attempt
to dupe the ignorant and credulous hi recom
mending them to cure every form of disease.
To such an extent has this been practiced that
it is no wonder that many have acquired prej•
udices against all advertised remedies. But
Dr. Pierce does not advertise his standard
preparations as "cure-alls," does not claim
that they will perform miracles, but simply
publishes the tact that they have been (level-
()lied as specifier for certain forms of disease
for which he reconim•!nds them, after having
tested their efficacy in many hundred cases
with the most gratifying success. It is a fact
known to every well-informed physician that
many single remedies possess several differ•
eat properties. Quinine, for instance, has a
tonic quality, which suugests its use in cases
of debility ; an anti-periodic, by which it is
efficacious in ague ; and a febrifuge property,
which renders it efficacious in cases of fever.
The result of its administration will also vary
with the quantity given and the circumstances
under which it is employed. So, likewise, the
Golden Medical Discovery possesses both pec
toral atild alterative, or blood-cleansing prop
erties of the highest order. By reason of
these two prominent properties it cures two
classes of diseases. First, those of the respi
ratory organs, as throat, bronchial, and lung
affections, chronic coughs and asthma, and
second, diseases of the blood and glandular
system, in which affections all skilful physi
cians employ alteratives, as in cases of blotch
es, eruptions, ulcers, swellings, tumors, ab
cesses, and in torpor of the liver or "billions
ness." While its use is, by its combination of
properties, suggested in cases of pulmonary
consumption, yet you need not take it expect
ing it will cure you if your lungs are half con•
sumed, nor because it is recommended as a
blood medicine would its proprietor advise
you to take it expecting', it to cure cancer. It
will not perform miracles, but it will cure
many grave forms of disease.
E. F. Kunkei's Bitter Wine of Iron
has never been known to fail in the cure of
weakness, attended with symptoms ; indispo
sition to exertion, loss of memory, difficulty
of breathing, general weakness, horror of dis

Correspondence of the JOURNAL.]
WASHINGTON, Jan. 20, 1877.
TIIE ELECTORAL TRIRUNAL.
Last winter, in a conversation on the Amnesty
Debate, Mr. Blaine said to me that the Democrats,
from having been co long out of office, seemed to
have lost the faculty of government. Theirpolicy
was a series of blunders. They seem, at last, to
have recovered their old power.
They have succeeded in frightening Republicans
enough, by their bluster, and coaxing Republicans
enough by their pretexts, to cause them to con
sent to a crafty scheme for counting the Electoral
Vote, It is the most revolutionary and unconsti
tutional project ever presented to Congress,—rev
olutionary, as it establishes aprecedent that can
be used to overthrow the popular verdiot whenever
the "face of the returns" exhibit any element of
doubt; and unconstitutional, in that it is neither
warranted by the letter nor by the spirit of the
National Compact, and establishes a tribunal
neither provided for nor suggested by the framers
of that instrument.
The Constitution provides that "the President
of the Senate sLall, in the presence of the Senate
and House of Representatives, open all the cer
tificates, and the votes shall then be counted." Now,
if the change of one vote "on the face of the re
turns" would not change the whole election, no
one, to-day, would attempt to deny that the duty
of counting the votes devolves on the Vice-Presi
dent; and that, as a necessary consequence of it,
he and he alone most determine between the two
sets whenever any tae sends duplicate returns.
It is one of the three high functions invested in
him by the Constitution and that belong to his
office and its distinguishing prerogatives.
The ultra-democrats insist, (as they happen to
have a little confederate army in the popular
branch of the Legislature,) that the House of Rep
resentatives alone shall have the right to object to
the vote of any State and that their objection shall
cause its rejection ! They might throw out Ohio
or Illinois under this theory, with cause or with
out; or at any tim 3, under some speo . ons pretext,
they could throw Gut States enough
_to vomit the
election into the House. _ _
I know that Tilden himself gave up the election
in despair two weeks ago. I was told a week
since by a Southern democrat, an ex-Confederate,
a personal friend, who is intimately acquainted
with all the southern democrats in Congress, that
they all believed they had lost the battle, but that
they are perfectly willing of course to accept a
♦ietory is it bo.ild be won by Northern democratic
strategy.
Just as they were throwing down their arms,
that Trojan horse of compromise, the curse and
disgrace of American politics, enters our citadel
by the oonnivance of our own soldiers and revives
their hopes.
What is this project? Let us lock at it. Be
cause, mark you, legal quibblers insist that the
words "shall then be counted" admit of some doubt
as to who shall count them, therefore, in order to
do homage to the Constitution, they create for
this duty a Returning Board that nob one of the
framers ever dreamed of ! Because these legal
pettifoggers are "not sure" that the Vice-President
should count the votes, they suggest the creation
of a Board that it is historically sure Coe Consti
tution did not intend to count them !
The Board is to consist of five Senators, five
Representatives, and four Judges of the Supreme
Court who shall choose a fifth Judge.
Look steadily at this scheme and what does it
mean ? ft means that one man shall elect the neat
President instead of forty-four millions of people.
All the Republican Congressman will vote for
Hayes and Wheeler, because they were honestly
elected by the largest popular vote ever given for
any Republican candidates in every State jn which
there was a free and fair election. 411 the demo
crats will vote for Tilden and Hendricks, because
when men do not scruple to desecrate the ballot
box in Northern States and to revive the horrors
of the Romish Church during the Middle Ages in
the Gulf States to-day--to persecute and murder
for opinion's sake—they will not hesitate to use
any less revolting agency to achieve their pre-de
termined purposes.
Now,then, how about the Judges ? The Judges
of the S upreme . Courtrare neither more nor less
partisan ;n their creed and character than Sena
tors. Their robes of office do not change their
natures. There are two democrats and two re
publicans named in the High Joint Bill. These
four judgea name the fifth, on whom to all intents
and purposes. the result of I,lle last election will
rest if the scheme is not defeated. stripped of all
its verbal masks, this is a scheme to substitute a
Dictator in the place of the people to name the
next president of the United States. The other
f our m embers count for nothing. They are ciphers.
That one man, not cleated by the people. nor by
men elected by the people, nor responsible to the
people, nor having any political power nor ac
countability, becomes the most potent force in
American polities for the next generation !
And yet wo have heard of Cresarism ! That
Democrats should snatch at any scheme to retrieve
their defeat should excite no surprise, but it does
seem incredible that Repablieans should consent
to put their late Waterloo victory in peril again.
Democrats believe it a Cresar. They wanted one
man, (which the same it was Cronin) to decide the
last election: but what has Republicanism to do
with a one man power, excepting when the Con
stitution creates it, but tp steps rt it into the earth?
Let every Republican at once write to the Sena
tors from his State in indignant protest against
this scheme. _ _ _
If we must have as extra constitutional method
of determining the last election, let us put up
Poker Jack, of Arkansas, against John Morrisey,
of New 'fork, an 4. let them play a game of old
sledge in presence of the lie4s , .) girld senate with
the Supreme Court to decide all disputed throwa!
This plan would be quite as constitutional as
the Joint Commission puzzle; and, as both men
are experts, one should at least have amusement
from watching their Electoral labors.
7W9 "IIVIDF:NT INTZNT3.
The "evident intent" of the founders of the
Constitution was that the Vice President should
count the votes: as is shown, still further, by a
fact that has never yet been noticed, that the
sentence, as a4opted by the Convention read :
"The President of the Senate shall open all the
certificates, and the votes shall then be counted in
de presence of the Senate and House of Reprosesita
ti,es." This shows that the change in the form
of the sentene9 was designed by the Convention
to ensure the presence of witnesses to the operation
of counting the electoral vote by the President of
the Senate. [See Madison Papers, Ed. 1340, Vol.
HI, p. 1509. Elliott's Debates, Vol. I, p. 318.]
But, beyond and deeper than any "evident in
tent" as to modes of counting, the founders of the,
Courtitution, without any doubt, whatever, did
tueart that them should he an 11 , ,neat vote at the
This Iligh-Joint or Tri-Joint Commission is
craftily designed to secure no honest consideration
of the character of the Election but only of the
character of the Returns. No question is to be
made as to the vote of Mississippi, tor example,
although it gave 60,000 Democratic majority by
terrorism and by the cruelest murders. Thirty
men were slaughtered in a single county last year
to secure this result in Mississippi. But on ''the
face of the returns" Mississippi is all right, and
no inquiry could be made into the affairs of this
Banditti State! No election frauds could be con
sidered by it. It is a scheme worthy of legal
quibblers, who regard only the letter not the spirit
of the Constitution.
I trust Grant will veto it if it is passed.
SEIZING TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES,
There have been lively debates this week about
the seizures of telegraphic dispatches. It is a
wrong for which both parties are equally respon
sible. The telegraph should be as sacred as the
mail. I trust that both parties will become so
sick of the revelations that this unrepublican pro
ceeding may bring to light that they will mutually
agree to declare the telegraph inviolable. The
republicans of high rank have nothing to fear.—
Zach Chandler is too shrewd a man to telegraph
anything that he would not care his enemies to
know. Nor do I suppose that the sly old fox, S.
T.. imperilled his cause by such indiscretions.—
But whoever may be hurt or helped by it, it is a
mean and wrong thing to do and ought to be pro
hibited by law. JAMES REDPATH.

The Bad Year—Political—Bennett-May—Vanderbilt.
Tug BAD YEAR
The season is a dreary one. War times were
hardly worse. houses everywhere empty ; shops
full of cheap and attractive goods; but I have
seen a country store livelier; improvements look
ing more like ruins, as they stand unfinished ; and
underlying all, the knowledge of the deep suffering
of thousands of poor out of work. People are not
ashamed to stay at home and economize. Now
that the Centennial is over, and they are learning
without any hesitation or bashfulness to walk into
stores and give them orders for cheap articles—
"the cheapest you have"—it is good not to date
'76 any longer, and to think that the anniversary
year is over, and all the folly of expense which the
country undertook on its account for which it is
paying the penalty. When we think of the East
Side of our city--the great working quarter—and
the thousands, not of men, but thousands of fami
lies, depending on charity for every dole of bread
and fire in the deep midwinter snows, one feels
twinges at buying a flower, or any indulgence that
might be dispensed with, and the question grows,
not "what can I afford," but "what can I do with
out?"
There is no vitality, no life, in anything. The
merchants stand listlessly in their stores, feeling
that rent and clerk hire are eating them up. The
clerks stand idle, living on half wages, and dread
ing every night to hear the words that will cut
even that off. The landlord is worried, for hesees
in the empty store a sure premonition that it will
very shortly be vacant. The truckman has noth
ing to haul, and the mechanics are idle. There
never was an approach to the distress that New
York is experiencing now, and I hope there never
will be. And, to add to the trouble, the political
situation keeps those who have money and dispo
sition to do something waiting, and before it is
settled the season will be over. It is bad here—
thank /leaven that the West is prosperous.
POLITICAL,
The Democratic politicians aro attempting to
get up a monster mass meeting in this City to pro
test against the Senate "counting in Hayes," but
the cooler heads make a protest against any such
demonstration as being calculated to inflame the
people at the very time that peace is desirable. If
the meeting is held it will be a very large one.
The swarm of Democratic officials and their paid
adherents will be out in force, and add to them the
still greater swarm of those who want place, and
would consider it a crime nut to attend a meeting
labelled Democratic, and it will be seen how large
the meeting would be, and bow little it would re
ally mean. It is singular that these fellows can't
wait till Congress confesses its inability to settle
the question. But they live by agitation, and
"prqpsting" is their best hold. The Republicans
of the city are opposed, as a rule, to the plan
adopted by the joint committee of the two houses
for settlement of the Presidential question, for they
believe it to be a surrender rather than a compro
mise. They insist that either Hayes or Tilden
was elected; that the Constitution provides the
method for determining the question, and that any
other method is wrong until It is ebanged by law;
and they protest against dragging the Supreme
Court into the case. It is held that if decided in
this way one party is certain to be dissatisfied,
and that the fact that the Supreme Court will have
something to do with it will not take away the
feeling. They insist that the counting shall take
place as it always has; that the President of the
Senate shall declare the result, and if the losing
side feels aggrieved it shall find its
it can—just the same as done in all other oases.
They believe that Hayes was fairly elected, and
they insist that le shall be inaugurated. The Re
publicans of this City, who know by bitter exper
ience what Democracy is, shudder when they think
of that Tilden and his gang have the slightest pos.
4ible chance of getttng control of the Federal Gov
ernment.
AENNETT-I!4y
The town has been on a broad grin for days over
the ludicrous ending of the Bennett-May affair.
The two idiots did go to a place in Delaware, and
did stand up before each other at the blood-thirs
ty distance of twelve races and fire pistols into the
air, and retire, Then it was industriously given
out that May was mortally wounded, and that
Bennett was in hiding, and the papers were filled
with incidents of the "meeting." The truth is,
neither was touched. May sneaked off to Wash
ington, and Bennett sneaked off to Europe with
his sister, where he will probably stay. He is the
laughing stock of the city, and as he hasn't the
tact of his father to turn such things to account,
it is better for him to be away. The result of the
"clue' is so ridiculous that it has done more to
put a final end to such nonsense than all the laws,
The only real sufferer in the case is Miss May,who
is really a nice girl, oven If she was willing to mar
ry such a man as Bennett. The two principals
have hardly sense enough to feel the absurd posi
tion they have placed themselves in.
VANDERBILT,
Vanderbilt is not to be allowed to sleep peace
fully in his coffin. His daughters. inspired, doubt
lesa, by their husbands, aro not satisfied with the
disposition of his estate, and they will contest the
will. They claim that they can show that the old
man was under undue influence when he made the
will, and that his bequests were consequently un
hjust. The fact is, Vanderbilt was Dever clearer in
ie life, and ho did with his property exactly what
he had had al.vays intended to. He desired that
the fabric he had built should remain for all time,
as does that of the Hothsehilds, and ho selected
the son who has business ability, trained him care
fully in the management of his railroads, and left
the control of them in his hands. He was ambi
tious that the name should endure in connection
with his enterprises, and that the system he estab
lished should be perpetuated. The daughters will
not sauteed, for the will was made years ago, and
his intentions were as well known live years ago
as when the document was presented for probate.
Still the light will bo a lively one, and the lawyers
will get fat pickings out of it. William 11. Van
derbilt is a very strong business man, and is a
worthy successor to his father. He isjust asgrasp
ing and just as selfish, and in his hands the estate
will grow rather than waste. PIETRO.
Legislative Correspondence,
HARRISBURG, Jan. 19, 1877.
It was a great mistake to suppose that the
present session of the legislature was going to be
a dull and uninteresting one. On the contrary it
promises to be a most lively and important one.
For ten days oast the city has been filled with ru
mors and reports of an exciting character, and
fact and fancy have been strangely mixed and
jumbled together. The rumor that the legislature
was about to pass resolutions instructing our Sen
ators and Representatives at Washington as to
their duty in regard to the count of the electoral
vote for President proved to be correct. They
were passed in both the Sepatc and the House by
a strict party vote and aro probably now in the
hands of our Solons at the national capitol. Those
who choose to obey them will do so. No one was
unsophisticated enough to imagine for a moment
that any Democratic Senator or Representative in
Congress would be governed in this matter by the
sentiment of his State. They have their own pe
culiar viaws upon the subject and will vote and
act accordingly,
If there ever was a bill considered in caucus
providing for a million dollars worth of malitia it
never got any furthur. There are those who as
sert that the whole thing is a myth—a mare's nest
with nothing in it; that it was a scare gotten up
by some too excitable and apprehensive Tildenites.
It is probable, however, that the matter was brought
before the republican caucus on Wednesday last
and that there was so much diversiti of opinion
in regard to the necessity and propriety of the
measure at this time that it was held over for
future consideration, and unless there should be
further and more dangerous complications at
Washington we have probably heard the last of it.
The bill for the removal of the capitol to Phil
adelphia has been favorably reported to the House
from the committe of Ways and Means and has
passed a first reading. This, however, is not
necessarily a correct expression of the sentiment
of the House upon this question. The bill reached
its precept stage by one of those little tricks which
some of the Philadelphia members are wont to
play occasionally. When it was introduced by
Mr. Yeakle of Philadelphia, he requested that it
should be referred to the committee on Ways and
Means. Its' proper reference would have been
to the committee on Public Buildings. But
requests for reference to a particular committee
aro geaerally complied with, and so without
taking a' thought, pernaps, as to the conse
quence the speaker referred it as Mr. Yeakle de
sired, and Philadelphia gained her first point in
the little game. The committee of Ways and
Means be it understood is largely composed of
Philadelphians and members from adjoining
counties, with a Philadelphian as chairman. It
is needless to say that all the friends of the bill
were present when it came before the committee—
many of its members who were opposed to the
measure were absent—so of course it was reported
with a favorable recommendation. The passage
of a bill on first reading is a mere form. l'hila-
dolphia has :;tt in.inhers in the House. ff the

AS we predict,' isi our la.t letter the I: ~,, 113 bill
has been introduced in the House and its booming
will again be heard in the land. There will
doubtless be another desperate struggle between
the lumberman and the Boom Company. It is to
be hoped, however, that it will not prove each a
destructive boomerang to the reputation of the
Pennsylvania legislature as it did last year. you t
of the same ducks of that memorableencoureer are
still waddling around the legislative Halls. but it
is possible that they have learned wisdom by bit
ter experience.
A Local Option bill has been introduced in both
the Senate and Ilouse. This is a perplexing
question to many members and they would fain
escape the ordeal of recording their votes for or
against it. They are sure to snake enemies on
whichever side they array themselves. Dodging
won't do, as both sides are on the look-out for
stragglers. The question has its amusing as well
as ita grave side. B.

THE NEW-YORK TIMES.
FOR 1877.
DEVOTED TO REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES,
And to Reform in Municipal, State, and General
Government,
The course of THE TIMES during the Psesid,ntial cam
paigh has secured fir it hosts of new friends, and has
placed beyond controversy its position as the foremost
Republican journal in the United :gates. During the po.
litical struggle preceding the election the fullness, accu
racy, and fairness of its its news reports were as obvi
ous as its vigor and health of view as an organ of public
opinion. The critical situation in which the country is
placed by the disputed result of the election has been
promptly recognized by Tile TIMES, but it has found no
reason to modify the claim which is urged. alone among
it contemporaries, that the vote of the 7th of Nevember
secured a majority of Electoral votes for Hayes and
Wheeler. Readers of Toe Tim ts on the day following the
election were placed in possession of returns which a ere
simply the most complete and trustworthy published in
any part of the Union. The more thoroughly the facts
of the election are disentangled from the mass of Demo
cratic falsehood and pretense which has been thrown
around them, the more clearly is the justice revealed of
the claims made by Tan TIMES the morning after election.
Now that Hayes and Wheeler is perceived by impartial
observers of both parties to he a certainty, Tue Tien,
recognizes the fresh responsibilities whirls this renewal of
a great public trust imposes upon the Republican Patty.
Tue TIMES was among the foremost defenders of the prin
ciples of purification and reform within the party which
triumphed in the nomination of Rutherford B. Hayes at
Cincinnati. It will be as prominent and as mieompro
mising in its demand for the embodiment of those prinei
pies in administrative and legislative action. The elec
tion has given rise to constitutional controversies. whose
discussion nosy last for months to come, a,,sl whose Settle
ment may tax all the good sense, forbearance. and law
abiding instincts of the people at large. It will be our
constant endeavor to correct excited feeling by dkpassion
ate argument, to urge the supreme necessity of mdera
tion and lair dealing, and to place the responsibility fir
stirring up strife where it belongs. But we shall do so
without abating one jot of the just demands of a party
which stands securly on the right, and of a people the in
tegrity of whose institutions depends on a scrupulous obe
dience to the demands of law.
In the agitation of the constitutional questi•ms which
have been forced upon public attention by the closeness of
the late election, Tar. TIMES will not cease to insist upon
the necessity of some approach to uniformity of method
in the proceedings taken by State and local boards to as
certain the vote legally cast for Presidential Electors and
members of Congress. It will defend the right of indi
vidual States to have the declaration of their will by the
recognized authorities of such States protected by all the
safeguards which have been thrown around it by the let
ter of the Constitution and the usage sanctioned by Ito
authors. But it will Done the less Insist on the duty of
Congress to devise means, by constional amendment or
otherwise, whether citizens of the United States may be
protected againot virtual disfranchisement through im
perfections In the mechanism provided by any State fur
securing an honest count of their votes. While carefully
avoiding all that may tend to promote National animosity
among our people, The Thies will urge, With the utmost
decision, the national duty of protecting the freedom and
the northern immigrants in the South in the possession of
rights guaranteed them by the Constitution. It will do
all in its power to promote the policy of peace and concil
iation between North and South, but will not lose sight
of the fact that Northern confidence and amnesty must
find their return in the enforcement of even-handed jus
tice and scrupulous regard for the letter and spirit of the
law on the part of the South.
Its influence as a leading exponent of political opinion
will be strengthcd by all that is needful to enhance the
value of THE. Tune as a daily record of news. The ac
knowledged excellence of its corresponnence by mail and
telegraph from all parts of the world will be fully main
tained. In the sphere of literary and artistic crit:cism, of
scientific, social and general discussion, it will address
itself, as heretofore, to the appreciation of the educated
and intelligent classes of the American people. It will
be lively without being sensational. aggremive without
end
independent in the championship of the right. No theo
ries subversive of the principles on which the saeredneas
of family ties and the existence of society alike repose
will be promulgated to its columns.
THE TIMES rejects all advertisements of lotteries, of
quacks and medical pretenders, and of all other agencies
by which the insidious poison of vice is disseminated
throughout society. It will be in the future, as in the
past, a newspaper specially adapted for family reading.
THE WEEKLY Ttsses, containing as it does selected edi
torials on topics of national and general interest from the
columns of the daily issue, as well as a concise summary
of political, social, and foreign news, besides other fea
tures which recommend it to all classes of readers, Is a
paper admirably fitted to circulate in every portion of the
United States. No Neptiblican newspaper approaches it

THE CONDIMENTAL FOOD
Fury
HORSES AND CATTLE,
A mixed vegetable Food to he used in connection
with the usual grain feed, By long, practical test
in this country and Europe, it has been found to
possess groat merit, and is a source of profit to all
who use it. _
HORSES fed on this food are always in good
condition and perfect health.
DAIRY COWS invariably increase the quantity
and improve the quality of Milk and Butter.
Practical test has demonstrated that the average
yield of a cow after feeding six days on this Food,
has increased the yield over 31 quarts per day.
CATTLE fatten quicker and on less corn. The
Condimental Food causes perfect digestion and
proper assimilation of all feed, therefore the ani
mals do not "scour," and the disagreeable odor
that at'ends cattle when heavily fed is overcome.
BOGS show the merits of the Condimental Food
quicker than any other animal and no matter how
poor a condition they are in, will pick up in a day
or two; get very happy and consequently fat.
As 30 years practical test of the Condimental
system of feeding in Europe has proved its useful
ness, it will be to the interests of Farmers to give
it a fair and thorough trial.
