Frii?y Mtaittc Janaary Ifr, ?1876. Th* PtMiAtBt'l BJxplaoaatloa. Tbe document sent to the Sea ?te by tbe President, in aas wer to its resolu? tion of inquiry about interference by the military with the organisation of the Louisiana Iiegislatnre. is remarka? ble, coming from a man of his tenaoity. It .is very evident that the voice.of the country has penetrated the White House; There are a great many ob? jectionable and exaggerated statements in this paper, bnt there are many that we did not expect, of a somewhat dif? ferent character. It is carefully drawn, and sophistical]?, of course, laying stress where not asked, and evading points upofLwhioh information i? more purtjMieilrt nought, bat, upon the wtoltj WU tote a dorkjderable measure of satisfaction. ^It will satisfy his' own immediate partisans, as tbe supposed beat de^noatJLja* could bo made, in its a d r o i k> <x> UWs?vriin e n t of many ugly thingMa>j|^v$lond of Ku Kbit, and Wbigl^l^^rii^na^on of (^oIjOU iaiau^'eopff,'. $p the peopleat large, and m"6re pariicelarly.to Ooaiervati to citizens, who rogarrPStierid?iu'8 pro? ceedings mon liberty, and" the indication of a ^Mp*ie*yUgain.t the rights of States, it ?itt^faeleome, M M admission ?that sta-PMaiaenl ao longer regards it as defenaible. It is an spology, in other\ woruo, for a munifeat wrong, blendea wfth sosa.e Baahjj-be]ievo words Of defence. For Instebee, the Presi? dent admits, that some of the orders in the oaso of Kell?gg 'vs. War moth and others, and in- thai of Antoine, were illegal. Doubtltiss, he ssys, the Judge made grove mistakes. But because the process of this oonrt was resisted, (how, he does not say,) be thought it necessary to enforoe it by tbe army -and navy. "He sustained what was ille? gal, because those whose rights were tbus . iovaded objected to it He ad? mit*, also, that the erection of 1872 was a gfg?ntie"fraud, and that there are no reliable returns of its result Botin asmuo^a^ ltctiogg obtained possession j of tbe o6|ee, he felt bound to snstain him, as having n supposed greater right to,it thaa.?U competitor. This possession^ was, however, due to the illegal d?oieion? and orders of Dorell, and to the jteterierenoo of the Admi? nistration itself, upholding what it consider* to have been illegal. It la questionable, to say the least, to infer any rights from possession prooored in this way. and yet everything done by the people of Louisiana in the en? deavor to overthrow this admitted usurpation, resting only npon illegal deoisiouB of a oonrt and the army of the Government, consciously support? ing a wrong, is denounced as rebel? lions. The election wee a frand, the oonrt orders were illegal, Kollogg's "poayaasioa" of the Government aj mere - moioent oi Federal power, and yet aU these things must be swallowed by the people, with thanks that they are no worse. . I The President confesses, further, that any military interference by the officers or troops of the United States with the organisation of a State Le? gislature, or any of its proceedings, or with any civil department of the Go? vernment, Je repugnant to oak ideas of government. That ell this was done by the. military is dne to the nrgenoy of tbe situation they were in, and to the lack of' proper knowledge of the limits within which they should aot. Tbey committed no "intentional wrong," Sco. He admits again, that the reputed Governor of Louisiana, in case of disturbance, should have called hpou the ooustabulary, or, if necessWry,' the - militsry force of the State. Bot this he did not do, been use it ?oolrfijbave precipitated ? bloody conflict with the White League. He allows a wide discretion to both the military and Kellogg, and il they erred, he would have ns understand their failings leaued on the side of Radical virtue?that of maintaining Kellogg and usurpation at all hazards, and should be oondoned. He takes precious good care, at the same time, to disavow his own direct ageucy iu it, j saying that he did not know* that any each thing was in anticipation, though he woeld find it hard to ahow wkat else could be expeoted with such a person tve Sheridan, sent down there, with authority to assume command. He wishes to have it implied, evident? ly. that be will not' do so any more. The main point o! the ejeo'lion of membeio, the breaking op of *he Le gislatare after .1, was coosUuted, tbe assumption of a right to judge of thf quab?eation? of members, ar rather the etlfotsTuanee ol Kelfogg's right to do ??Tg^0?ym^^'^ ^T??lT^njr^X^? ."F^resideut* evidently feels that be is to a bad box.

He has <loue the best thing 'possible, that is, iu his own favorite laugnage, to "unload." Tbe country will quiet down, but will not forget the narrow rsoape it has made, nor the dangerous und aggres eive spirit which has been bhowu by the Administration. Good ?rill result 1 from this agitation to the whole oonntry, and particulaily to Louisiana and the South. As for the third term, let oa hope that it has blown it higher than a kite. Kda>?fi?l?l Curses Come Homo to Houii. ; Does Paris Simkius suppose that the people of this Statu, either white or colored, will submit to be tuxed to foed his deluded political minions iu Edge field? If tbey have forfeited good homes and fair contractu by their bit ter opposition to and persecution of Shone from whom tbey held them, it is to be regretted; of course; but the fault is with themselves and their blind guides. But a week ago, a committee of reputable citizens came bore to the Governor, upon an eriaod of peace. They complained that Teucsnt, at the bead of a military oompany, with arms .in their bands belonging to the State, was parading them about in the hours I _f _;.k>_J-J; ..? nnnatnrniih'nn ' Ul USgUt, C? LI U DpiQnuiU^ bUUClblUOHl/U in every direction. How much better would they have been employed iu cherishing friondly relations with tboso who have employment to give? If the colored leaders?we will not say the colored people, because they do as they are told, and go where they are led?think they can diotate terms iu bosinees, or over-ride the substantial people of that County, to the damage of their interests, they are mistaken, that's all. Things bave come to such a pass there, that men are compelled to take care of themselves. Laborers -have degenerated into tools of local politicians, and have become disturb era of the qniet of plantations and neighborhoods. Snch men are worth? less for the work tbey do, and besides, cause recklessness and discontent wherever they ply their poor trade. We heard a prominent Republican of Biobland County oomplainiog se? verely, a few days ago, of two em? ployees that he has, whose public en? gagements to societies, meetings and olabs interfered with the duties which they had undertaken to discharge on his plsoe. Does Mr. Simkius or the Union- Herald xuppoav that farmers will not employ labor, if it be sncb as will advance their business and not create a perpetual fuss? They mo-.t assuredly will. And when farmers decline to make eontraots with hands, it is sn in? fallible sign that they are crippled and | oan't afford it, or that self-respect aud ?be peace ui iueir iamiiies require that they shall make a change. Surely no ! one oan be blamed for not continuing business relstions with those who are both uuproliiablu aud unfriendly, who] work privately egainet him, and stir np strife on hie place in the interests of petty politiciane, to whose service they are more devote* than to his. As to politics per 89, the farmers of Edge fleld, uo more than those of auy other County iu the State, do not oare a battoo about it. It is to politics, wbloh nntits men for service, and breeds enmity to tbuse who have the right to exact it, t but ex? ception is taken. All the offices of Edgefiuld County are in the hands of the colored people, who, again, are in the hand3 of a few lenders, bluok aud white. These lend? ers aud ot?oiuU hold the olaims ugniust the County to a large extent, and that is the secret of the deliberate und per? sistent exolusion of bouest and com? petent persons from public employ? ment. Those must be kept iu place who oan be managed iu the interests of these claims and in tho offios-hold ing iuterest. Besides, the effort is per petatlly made by these people to keep the classes of employers of labor and laborers at logger-heads, by inducing euch violent threats and intimatious of i bloodshed as were uttered at Ridge j Spring, and, caused the commotion there just before the election, and by the parade of militia and blustering about the oonntry, at the time of mak? ing con traota for another tear. They ere the persons whose vindiotive hatred and narrow, bigoted party zeal caused the arrest of peaoefqi oitizens, clergy? men and others, by the Federal "ban ditti " They stand aghast now at some of the consequences of their misdeed*, end eome knocking et the State Tree sury for relief for their victims. But it won't do to set op the olaims of -: .. -?? ?.

Let something elae be done. Let private contributions be raised for those who may bo nuedy and rf quire aid, until they oan find employment somewhere. Wh engage to say that tbe people of Edge field will themselves contribute liberally In this oau*e. But those who bohl the County scrip, till the County offices, represent their poor followers in tin; Legislature und enjoy tbe farce of malting laws, while ihey wear broud oluth and sport gold watobus and ch'iiu.-, Miould maiuly bear this assess merit.

These deservedly celebrated ana popu? lar medicines have effected a revolu? tion in the boaling art, and proved the fallacy of several maxims which have for many years obstructed tbe progress of medical science. The false supposition that "Consumption is incurable," deterred pbysicaus from attempting to find remedies for that disease, aud patients aflliuted with it reconciled themselves to death without making an effort to escape from a doom which tbey supposed to be una? voidable. It iu now proved, however, thut Consumption can be cured, and that it has been cured in a very great num? ber of CiSUB (some of them apparently desperate ones) by Sohenck's Pulmo uio Syrup alone; and iu other oases by tbe same medicine in connection with Scbenok's Sea Weed Tonic and Man? drake Pills, one or both, according to tbe requirements of tbu case. Dr. Scheuck, himself, who enjoyed uninterrupted good health for more than forty years, wua supposed, ut one time to be at tho very gate of death, his physicians having prououueed bin case hopeless, and abandoned him to his fate. He was cured by the afore? said mcdicinea, and, since his recovery, many thousands similarly affected have used Dr. Sohenck's preparations with the same remarkable succebs. Full directions accompany each, making it not absolutely necessary to personally see Dr. Sohenok, nnless pa? tients wish their Inngs examined, and for this purpose he is professionally at bis principal office, corner Sixth and Arch streets.

A Roval Organ?Tbe stomach baa , been well named a "royal organ," , since it sways and controls the entire system, every gland, tissue and nerve sympathizing with it as tbe servants of a prince sympathize with their master. Eaoh one of them is fed ana sustained by it?even the brain itielf, the oentre of sensation, is absolutely dependent npoo it for sustenance. Consequently, when tbe stomach fails to perform ita all-important office, the subordinate organs also falter in their doty. Tbe reason why Hostetter'a Stomach Bit? ters have auch wondronsly beneficial effect npon the general health, and are auch a reliable preventive of disease, is, that they speedily overcome weak nees or disorders of the stomach, and thus insure complete nourishment of the entire system and a healthful pet!*,, formance of its various functions. jh Unlike those stimulants whose aleo holio principle is unmodified by iudi cioos medication, the spirituous basis of these Bittere, which is of the purest description, Lvlu? m solution nerbau alteratives and invigorants to which a foremost rank has been assigned ftt materia mediee. Bat it is not alone tbe faot that these sovereign botaaio elements enter into the composition of the Bitters that constitutes them auch a benign tonic and corrective, bat also ? that they are ao happily oombjued that the fnll effect of -each is exerted e#o* the disordered or debilitated system. . I'be digestive and secretive organs are , the first to experience their beneficent operation, whiob extends, by sympa? thy , to the brain, the nerve? and tbe circulation. The influence tuna ex? erted is fruitful of those great sanitary results whiob have built up the reputa? tion of this truly national medicine. J15 OT , --?-1?
