Your informant wouW not for a mo
ment be denied yoa ; an 1 if denied
you, the feeling could not be kept
down that the inherent rights that
belong to men should be resorted to,
to give protection. You could not
help declaring that the court that
would be so one-sided as to hear evi
dence onlv on one side, could be only
a pretended court of justice, in which
to defeat the ends of justice herself.
As with men, and district, and circuit
courts, so with nations, SUtea, and
parties. The Democrats in the
Lower Ilouse of Congress, under the
whip of such men as Blair and
Black, have been trying to play the
one-sided court, to set in judgment
on the vote cast in the States of
Florida and Louisiana for President.
By resolution they have decided that
the vote cast for Ilayes in the States
mentioned shall be investigated, but
that further than the Hayes vote in
those two States go, there shall be
no investigation. No fair man shrinks
from a fair investigntion, but the pro
posal for such unfair work is a dis
honor to all concerned in it Such a
proposal would not be made by the
dumbest and most obscure justice of
the peace in the country. All efforts
that were made to induce the revolu
tionists to give all parties charged
with nnfair work a chance to prove
and disprove the charges, were dis
regarded ; and thus the world is wit
ness to a spectacle of a parcel of
freemen deliberately voting to disre
gard the first principles of freedom
that everv man is entitled to a full
hearing an 1 a fair trial. '1 tb "nouncemeut of the fiading of

Kepublicans proposed to vote for the
resolution if they would enlarge it so
as to take iu South Carolina, Missis
sippi, Oregon and a few other States
where it u alleged that frauds were
committed, but the Democracy would
not allow any investigation excepting
in Florida and Louisiana. An inves.

court with witnesses for one side only.
Tba Amerioaa people do not pass on
questions in that way.
The country will get down on pork
if doctors keep on dissecting people
who died of certato diseases, and pro
nounce the disease from which they died
to be nothing short of worm disease, by
which their muscles were destroyed by
worms that bad gotten into their bodies
from the eating cf uncooked pork.
They say that a man endangers bis life
when be eats a piece of uncooked pork.
If tbey keep on saying in that way peo.
pie will turn Jew on the pork question
and rule the pig out. Who knows,
perhaps, that it was on account of the
worm disease that Moses forbade the
eating of the bog.

We are at last informed of tbe Dem.
ocratie programme. It is, after the
4th of .March, when they expect to have
control of the Senate and House, to
refuse to recognize tbe President to
decline to recognize tbe Vice President
as the presiding officer of tbe Senate,
and to seat the President pro lent, of
that body, who wiil be President of tbe
United Statea by virtue of President
Hayes' ejectment. Id do event, it is
now believed by Democrats who are
conet.tutional lawyers, can Mr. Tilden
reach tbe Presidency by the ejectment
of Hayes. There will be a vacancy
created by that a:, which the I ice
President alone cm fill. Thus we bave
tbe plan of revolution clearly and bold
ly laid down aud announced. In tbe
meantime bow about the election of a
new bouse ? In view of this scheme to
antagonize the country, to sitze its
Government by fraud iu one effort and

knife ; poiuting out a mode of cure Jt once,
simple, certain, and effectual, by means of
which every sufferer, no matter what his
condition may be, may cure himself cheap
ly, privately, and radically.
