Iq the heat of politioal contests, in
the strifes between rival politicians
for asoendanoy and power, the ameni?
ties of intercourse, the basis upon
which all stand as men and brothers,
oro too often forgotten. Tbe touch of
nature "which makes all mankind
kin" becomes lost in tbe collisions of
interest end tbe struggles of ambition.
Politicians of opposing parties are sel?
dom warm personal friends. It is too
mnoh the habit for them to consider
oaou other's politioal destruction uh
indispensable to their own success.
It U the more pleasant from its rare?
ness to find a politician ready to do
justice to a competitor, to oouoe.de his
merits frankly, to bo willing that be
ahull take the place which bo haa him?
self ooonpied, or even to tdiino in the
same sphere. This conquest of self,
thio oabduiug of all uuworthy feelings
in candidate*, has recently been hap?
pily illustrated in a correspondence
between Messrs. Phelps and Outler,
the former th? defeated and the latter
the successful candidate for Congress
in the Fifth Dietriat of New Jersey.
Mr. Pbelps will bo favorably remem?
bered by oar readers as a member of
the sub-committee whiob visited New
Orleans and made a report upon affairs
there whioh the President did not
-oonsnlt in his message. He is a Re?
publican, bQt mm who has arrayed
himself egaiu'si the abuses of bis party.
His saooes8or is, we believe, a Demo?
crat. Both are evidently accomplished,
high-minded and generous men. We
think the space taken in presenting to
onr readers a correspondence whioh
equals anything of Chesterfield in
conrtcoy, and surpasses it in sincerity
and good feeling, well ooonpied. It is
a practical and instructive lesson to tbe
public men of the day, an example
upon which youug aspirants for die*
. tiuotion, eapeoiaHy, maj appropriately
. form themselves, When tbe result of
the election was definitely known, Mr.
Phelps wrote to his successful com?
petitor to tender his hearty congratu?
lations, asking, pardon for a delay
whioh wad)necessary, bat seemed an
gracious.'j 11

Mr. Outler replies to express his de?
light with the oocrteous manner and
graceful language with which his pre?
decessor and rival has greeted him.
He employs such expressions of lofty
' ? appreciation of Mr. Phelps as reflect
honor upon himself and raise high

New Yobk Pbbss on Civil Rights
and thb Sooth.?The New York press
generally coudemus the course of the
majority in Congress in pushing the
oivil rights measure. The New York
Herald regrets the scene iu the House,
because dilatory motions may only im?
pede while they may not prevent the
passage of the bill. The Herald says:
?'The notion of Wednesday sorved
no other purpose than to excite parti?
san bitterness at the cost of the public
business. It would be a bold thing in
the dominant party to pats this oivil
rights meadore against the out spoken
will of the people, and if it is done the
rebuke of last year will foreshadow u
sterner retribution iu the future."
The New York Times addresses itself
to both political parties in Congress.
To the Republioaus, the limes says:
"We oannot pereeivo the necessity
or the desirability of the passage of
the Civil Righto Bill. We do not be
lievo that it is possible to administer
its provisions effeoiively iu uny com?
munity where public opinion lBntongly
opposed to it, and we are convinced
that auy resolute attempt to enforce it
would briug incalculable anuoyuno.
upon the olass for whose beiebU the
bill is intended. It is, moreover, a
bill of doubtful constitutionality. We
suppose that it will not bo denied that
the passage of the bill is regarded by
many Republicans as a politioul ne?
cessity, and that it is pressed to somo
extent on that ground. It seems very
clear to us that from the stand-point
of party policy, tha measure is a mis?
take."
The New York 'Jribune. in an article
on "intimidation," traces the whole
troubles of the South to the enforce?
ment aots, whioh discriminated in
favor of the negro. Intimidation ol
colored voters was made a crime. The
TribuneBayo:
"Punishments were provided for uny
infringement of his political rights, if
it could be shown or presumed that
the offenoe originated ia the prejudice
of oolor, bot if a white man was the
victim of snob, wrongs. Congress did
not help him. The orime of 'intimi?
dation, having been thus magnified
by Aot of Congress, was made the pre?
text for throwiug cat his returns of
elections where it was alleged to have
been practiced, and oanvusBers took
the liberty of estimating bow tho ne?
groes would have voted if somebody
had not frightened them, and declar?
ing the results as they thought they
ought to have been, instead of count?
ing the votes as they woro actually cast.
It needed no great political sagnoity to
foresee that after a system like tbis hud
been onoe adopted, a genuine election
iu the Southern States would soon be?
come a rarity. The South will never
have peace, order, prosperity, honest
government and fair elections uutil
this method of cheating and intermed?
dling under the pretense of benevo?
lence, this treating tho fruedmen as
moral infants and imbeciles who need
a guardian, cornea to an end, and oue
juht law prevails for black aud white
alike."

able to sit ander Bev. Henry Ward
Beecber'a ministrations at Plymouth
Church taust be greatly exercised in
solving the conundrums which be
hurls at them. At last Friday even?
ing's prayer meeting, he spoke to his
hearors after this fashion:
"The moment a man realizes that
his manhood lies in his spiritual and
reasonable part, and not io that part
in which tbo infirmity of tbe ilveh |
resides; and tbo momeut bo feels i
himself Io be the creature oot of tbiu
life, but in this lifo thtit be may bo !
come tbe creaturo of eternal life; the I
moment be believes himself to be tbe
chil i uot of hi* father but of God, and
under the government uot of bis rulers
but of his Maker and of his Judge, tbe
moment that he really enters into that
vision, and to the oousotousuess of
that great outside life which surrounds
Ibis 6mall one, this visible one, be be?
comes a very different man. It works
botb ways. Men find themselves in
strange piaues. Ob, if a man csu ?nly
pause long enough to say, 'Look here,
this is u matter whioh is, after all, a
pin's point.' Really, as conueoted
with my whole life, this does not mea?
sure a hand's breadth, and as con?
ueoted with my eternal life it is no
thing.' I will venture to say that any
person bore who has lived sixty years,
aod looks hack on the severest sfilio
tious he had thirty years ago, cun
Boaraely remember theui. A boy
might us well go down to the obi
bench, after un ubseuce of forty years,
to see if he could Sod in tbe sand thu
holes that he dug with bin tuen tu his
youthful days.
"Why, what sorrows I bail when I
was ten years oldl I don't, think I

of Mr. Beecbar'a tones brought mHuy

I look very mach like a man with an

A Washington special to the New

formation: "The chief opposition to

pjura to oomo from the old Northern
Pacific interest, a virtuous interest, as
every one knows, and ita head that
moat virtuous of men, Mr. Samuel
Wilkenon. If anything should help
Tom Scott, surely this faot should."
This is tbe same Sam. Wiikeson who
declared to Susan B. Anthony that if

tbe Life of Christ would be knocked
as high as a kito. S ?m. takes stock in

These deservedly celebrated and popu?
lar medicines have effected a revolu?
tion iu the healing art, aud proved
the fallacy of several maxims svbich
have for many years obstructed the
progress of medical science. The
lalne supposition that "Consumption
is incurable," deterred physicau? from
at tempting to dud remedies fortbat
disease, and patients ufllicied with it
reconciled themselves to death without
making an effort to et-eipe from n
doom which they Htipposed to bo una?
voidable. It ia now proved, however,
that Consumption can be cured, und that
it has been cured in a very great num?
ber of ernes (some ol them apparently
desperate om s) by Subenok's Pulmo
nie Syrup alone; and iu other esses by
tbe same medicine iu couueutiou with
Sobeuck's Sen Weed Tonic and Man?
drake Pilln, one or both, according to
the requirements of the case.
Dr. Scbenck, himself, who enjoyed
uninterrupted good health for more
t han forty years, was supposed, at one
time to be ut the very gate of death,
his physicians having pronounced his
Crtse hopeless, and ubaudoued him to
his fate. He was cured by tho afore?
said medicines, and, since bis recovery,
many thousands similarly affected
have csed Dr. Sohenck's preparations
with the same remarkable success.

Tub Wear and Tear of City Life.
Tho wear and tear of city life are a
severe tax npou the strongest constitu?
tions. Tbe hurry and bustle and anx?
ieties of business keep the nervous
system in u state of unnatural tension
during business hours, aud iu the end
impair the elasticity and vigor of the
vital organization. The penalty of all
undue excitement is subsequent ex?
haustion. The best remedy for it,
whatever the cause, is Hostetter'a Sto
mach Bittern, tbo tonic und alterative
properties of which rapidly diffuse
themselves through the entire system,
revive aud reinforce every dormant
faculty, and restore a natural condition
cf body and miud. Some moral re?
formers insist upou the disuse of all
stimulants. This, to say tbe least of
it, is irrational. All competent physi?
cians admit that a pure medicated
stimulant in one of tho most useful
remedies known. As a touic aud in
vigorant for tho aged and languid,
Hosteller's Bitters baa no equal. It is
the sheet-anchor of tho feeble aud de?
bilitated. In all e'imates and in every
species of disorder which breaks down
the bodily strength, it is an absolute
specific. It is also an invaluable
remedy for aea sickness. The nausea
and retching can?ed by the pitching
and roiling of a vessel at sea paralyzes
tho bodily and mental energies, and
those who suffer from it would do well
to resort to the Bitters as a moans of
sure and permanent relief. No steamer
should sail without a supply of the
article. Among the botanic ingredi?
ents of whioh it is composed are some
of the most powerful blood depnrents
which the vegetable kingdom affords.
Consequently, it not only tones and
invigorates, bnt also purifies the sys?
tem through the natural sluices which
nature has provided. J 2'.) fi^l \

add some startling revelations with re?
gard to the adulterations and mixture
of medioines, which our people, with
blind credulity, swallow npau faith:
