His latest contribu tion to the Republican cause is open and above-board. From that nota ble article we quote this gem : The Xorth is divided. Republi canism cannot again prevail over a solid South. Wisdom invites us to such a course as will put Repub licans and Lirais ?boulder to shoulder in the tall elections. The pretty talk about "maintaining the integrity of the Republican organi sation" in the South will bc ..mall compensation tor the election of a Bonrbon .House this year, aud a B??w on President in 1884. We had better maintain the integrity of a Republican form of government, which can only be done by a union if ita friends against its B urbon ?nemies. Upon the general willing aeaa to do thi3, the election, this pear, of a House of Representatives ?n general accord with the Republi can party appears to us to depend. Here is a direct and palpable ad ni.esion that only by disintegrating ibo South can the Republican cause :rinmph. The eolidity of the South it this time and in 1S84 means Dem >cratic ascendancy in the House of Representatives and a Democratic "resident to succeed Arthur.

LONDON, July 24.-Arabi Pasha Wi ?te the following letter to Mr. Gladstone a few days before the bom bardment of Alexandria, but Mr. Gladstone did not receive it until af ter the bombardment: "The Koran commanda us to re sist if war is waged against ns, hence England may rest assured that, the Grat gun she fires in Egypt will ab solve Egyptians trom ?li treaties. Control will cea=e. the j roperty of Europeans will be confiscated, canals will be destroyed and Jahad will be proclaimed in Syria, Arabia and In dia. The first blow with which Eng land strikes Egypt will cause blood to flow through the breadth of Asia ami Africa, the responsibility of which will be cn the head of Eng land. Egypt is still ready to be fast friends with England and to keep her road to India, but she must keep within the limits of her jurisdiction. Finally, England may rest assured thai we are determined to die for our country." A Federal Court at Little Rock, Arkansas, has nurprised the lawyers throughout the country by awarding $4,900 damages to a passenger who was put elf a train because fhe term of hia excursion ticket had expired.

A Complete Exposition ol the False boon's of the Charleston Cor respondent ol' the New Vork ??Times." At H special mvetiug of the Med? cal Society of South Carolina, held .'July 12, 1882, the president, Dr* i Michel, called the meeting to order and stated that its obj eel was to con i tradict certain false statements in ve j gard to a recent death by Chloroform, j in the practice of our friend and col j league, Dr. R. A. Kinloch, j After hearing the facts of the case j a committee of three was appointed to frame resolutions expressive of the views of the society, and to report at an adjourned meeting to be held July IC, and the following report of the committee was unanimously adopted and ordered to be published in the JVcu-s and Cburier and New j j York Trnies : j To the Presid? nt and ?L mbers of ?the Medical Society of South Carol i . j na-Gentlemen : The committee ap pointed at the meeting of the MeJi cal Society, held July 12, 1882, to report upon the subject of the death of Mrs. Loughton t Reid, and the statements connect?e! therewith as j they have appeared, first in the New I York Times, of the -1th inst., and subsequently with additions and al terations in various newspapers j throughout the country, after having carefully examined into the subject, j beg leave ti report : 1st. That they regard these new?- ! "3{?er publications as affording the j most striking evidence of unfairness, j untruthfulness and misrepresentation j that it has ever fallen to their expe- j rience to consider, in connection with the report of medical matters, as given by the secular press. Your committee are fully in accord with the members of this society generally, in th--''- feelings of indignation <tt the injustice done, most particularly toDr. R. A. Kinloch, Mrs. Reid's physician, and also to Dis. T. Grange Simons and A. P. l'e?/.?r, all respec table and worthy members ot the profession, by the erroneous, and what appears to be, studied and ma lignant statement?, prejudicial to their personal and professional con duct. \ bo these stat? only say thal newspaper pub" ^"ions contain at least ten misrepresentations. The I only item of truth is that Mrs. Reid I most probably died (as frank ly Btated j by her physician) of "Chloroform Narcosis." Thia we regard as simply J one of the calamities of surgery the.: could not have been foreseen or pre- j vented. The agent was, we have j reason to beiieve, given in the mest improved and careful method, in the presence o( witnesses, and probabjy proved fatal because of FOIUO pecu liar c.ndition of Mrs. Reid's nervous system, which amounted to an idio syncracv. The records of medicine and surgery show many auch cases, j Tlie operation to have been perform- j ed upon Mrs. R*id was a justifiable ? and necessary one. Ar least two as- j sistantR were necessary and these as- j eietants were engaged by Dr. Kin loch with the distinct approval o? Mrs. Reid, the only stipulation being thai she should be made unconscious j by chloroform before they were in-1 trodnced. Dr. Kinloch in admini--1 tering the chloroform simply in the ; presence of t wo t?malo attendants, j carried out his promise to bis patient. In regard to his after concealment of ; i the supposed caused d?fit li Dr. Kin- : loch announced this openly and j irankly, and assumed the entire res ponsibility. The sister aud husband of the lady were first informed, and as soon as applied tor the tn ort ua J y certificate ot death from "chloroform narcosis" was given to the family to be forwarded to the City Registrar for permissiov. io buri/. In view of ail the above facts your committee woub1 present the following resolu tions tor your consideration : 1st. That, in the opinion ot this society, the death cf .Mrs. Reid from chlorotorm was not caused by im prudence or carelewnesR in the use I of the agent, but from the fatal prbp I erlies of that ding, which at times j will manifest themselves in persons \ of peculiar temperament or constitn I tion. 2d. That the misrepresentation of j the circumstances of this nnfortu i nate case stem to have been inten I j tionally made, inasmuch as all the j family and friends were fully inform j ed of the circumstances of the death I of Mrs. Reid, and the fact* of the \ case could nave been easily obtained I and correctly reported. Od. That we extend to our col? j league, Dr. R. A. Kinloch, the at j tending physician, and bis assistants, j our sincere sympathy, noi only for the unfortunate death of the patient, but because of the unjust position in which they have been cruelly placed. 4th. That we protest sgair.at tho too frequent custom of the Herniar press of intruding upon physician? in the discharge of their duties, and ? thus tending to embarrass them in I proceedings which they may be con ' Bcientiously instituting for nt suffering humanity. "i'.h. That we confided stances ol the ea-esoflipi? : vating to justify the imm?diat? tntios ot legal proceedings, ?g? ; the parties attending. Respectfully submitted, J. FOBD PRIOLEAU, M. !>., F. L. PAEKEB, M. D., MANNING SIMONS, M. D., Committee. L0RF?G ON EG?rri AraM's Fight a Resistance to (ar pet-Baggers. General Lori tig, at one time noted j in Egypt, haa been interviewed in St. Augustine, Fla., by a Florida Timen reporter. The General, though he has been several years abaent from Egypt, exhibits a good deal of feeling j in regard to the recent catastrophe, j He holds England directly responsi I ble for the existing troubles and im ? pending anarchy ; and he regards the bombardment of Alexandria as, under ail the circumstances, one of j the most abominable outrages of] which history has any record. In the bombardment and the extensive fires which followed it, nearly every thing that constituted the magnifi cence of the modern city was de stroyed, and he says that capital will not easily be induced to go in and I build'it up again, while the Khedive, j under the European domination j which is sucking' the life-blood ot Egypt, tioes not command the necea* j sy resources. The fortification? ot Alexandria j were built partly under General Lut ing's supervision, and he ?B confident that if they had not been caught un prepared they would have given the English tl ?et a good deal more trouble. "It must be recollected," he said, "chat the fleet was inside the harbor to which it would have been obliged I to force au entrance had its hostile purpose been avowed at the begin ning. This placed some of the strong est defensive works at a decided did advantage. The worst difficulty, however, under which the Egyptians labored in heir defence was, that their gunners had no experience in j haudling the great Armstrong gnub with which the torts were provided." ~TT"T- General : "I . "rr?rne ; the . law Ivhedive, i^man, mar these jrrt?^-r~ gur.3 wonid be useless unless he had men who knew bow to work them, and that, the only way to teach them efficiently was by actual practice. But as it cost about a hundred dol lars every time one of them wai fired, the Khedive felt that the ex pense w*=? moro than he could stand. The result -.ras that when the shock of battle actually caine, the firing wa? wild and ineffective. 1 can as sure yon that ii the Egyptian gun ners had been as experienced as they were brave, the English fleet would have had a serious time of it." To the inquiry whether any effec tive resistance could be made by Ara bi to the march of an army to wards Cairo, the General replied that there were no fortifications between Alexandria and f-airo, but that a good deal of trouble and delay could be caused by the destruction of the | bridge-1 across the Rosetta and Da mietta branches of the Nile, both of which have to be crossed in going to Cairo. As far as Cairo is concerned, it i* not a fortified city, and ia ol no use for defence. The General said be had no faith in Arabi Bey's ability to light H regular European army, especially with the Khedive against him, dividing the loyalty ol the sol diers. ? > ! 11 the strength ul Arabi'.-? canse lit? not in his power to fight ! an English ??est or an Anclo-French , army, it lies in the serio? of wrong ; on tin' j an of *n ir.dustrion? and I long-s??fetiug people, who are the ! victima of a slavery immeasurably j worse Mun atty ever known at tie j South. A ra bi's 1 e vol t is but the I symptom and expression ol this j sense ol wrong; and even ..though I Arabi iii M y be defeated, the conilict i will never really end so long as the I life blood ol' tho Egyptian people is I drained to satisfy the exactions of j foreign bondholders.' tren.

Tillman glorifies true greatness, but the Republicans stick to the negro. Tillman will be sent back to Congress, when it will take the negro about as long to oust iiitn a* it did this- time. We fire not so badly hutt, since they let Mr. Tillman stay in his place until with in a few days of the dose of the ses sion.
