G, 1894. ahquet-glven in New York by ?n rosidonts of that city ex Flowltt resix>nded to a toast in nplmou.tary terms to our present suntatlon in Congross compared statesmen formerly sent there tho South. Tho speech has boon nisly eriticisod by Southerners j all shades of opinion. In tho in it has boon stoutly resented and s assault mot by countor-assault, de nial, rldieulo and ovory manner of de foncojenown to tho Press, tho Con gressman and tho cross road politician. Besides, there has beon tho oxcuso that tho statesmanship at tho North has greatly dogonoratcd and it is Hung ' Ho their tooth that thoy boast now ich men as Wobstor, Seward and ?In, while tho Calhouns, Haynes, fords and Randolphs are seen no from the South. Tho last is but ?o subterfuge and a poor answer, tion turns upon the ohargo of itt, whothor it is truo and .>... jv it was in tasto that ho fling tho fact into tho teoth of Southern gentlemen whoso guest ho was. If it bo truo, thoro can bo no harm iu it being squarely told. Hewitt has al ways boon a friend to tho South and ho had a right to tell us of our short comings, as much so as any among us. It is not pleasant to bo told unpleasant truths about ourselves, as tho bearer of bad nows is rarely thanked. Boar in mind that Mr, Hewitt spoke with reforoueo to tho whole South and not alone with reference to South Caro lina; from Delaware to Texas inclusive ?as- ? -'u-a.wyj in his characterization, can bO nit ? doubt ?that ho hit ill on the head: 'that he made a iko and oxprossod a most patent ...ition; and it is tho sober truth ?eh has stirred tho hornets about uls cars. Tho mon in Washington Irom tho South at this time can hardly rise to tho dignity of the "makeshift" of oven these times. To assert that wo havo men in Washington from the South to compare in V statesmanlike attributes to Crawford, Barrien, Cobb, Calhoun. Ithett, Davis, Mason and Benton and others in tho not distant past whose name is legion, is to invite ridicule and not argument. . ?.To have it flung at US at this juncture when the highest statesmanship is wanted is and wo trust will prove wholesome for our section. An old man like Mr. Hewitt could well afford make the thrust. Whether tho mo tive, tho force behind that impelled tho old gentleman iiito the field was honest wo are not inquiring. We hon estly bolievo that it was a sollish and sordid consideration that loosened the old man's tongue. Ho was driven to speak for the rich and solfisli, sordid *tfu grasping North and not out of any good will and noble purpose to inspire tho South. All tho samo thoy wore words fitly spoken and we trust now that thoy are said, tho Southern people will bo made to think and in spired to sond ablor, purer, noblor men to represent them in the halls of Congress. Hewitt was speaking at a banquet; ho was a guest; the fitness of the oc casion is not in question; tho men he addressed were as much at home as ho; it is Idle therefore to talk of whose turtle, canvas-back and champagne ho J was guzzling. He has told us a whole some truth and we should make some thing out of it. It will do no good, nor altor the fact to tell Mr. Hewitt that Cummings, Tom Johnson, Boutello and Tom Reed aro not to bo named with Webster, Douglass and Lincoln. You aro another, novcr was and is not now a logical or suffiicont answer. Who in Congress are you proud of and for what? * * * President Cleveland has booh hunt ing down in Virginia. Tho following dispatch was sent out from Norfolk: "Whon Mr. Cleveland roturnsto the White House a handsome bear skin will adorn the interior of tho executive mansion as a trophy of the tho Presi dent's oxcollont markmanship. Lot tho President gun around Wall Stroot and ho will find tho game so plonty that ho can earpot tho White IIouso. * # * Goutleman Jim Corbett was tried before Judge Philips at Jacksonville for prize lighting. The jury woro out twenty minutes and roturned a ver dict of not guilty. Thus Corbett beat tho law. Charloy Mitchell's case was not pressed, as ho had already been beaton by Corbett. A first class farce passos Into history. * * * Tho reported extreme illness of Con. Jubal A. Early, will be lamented throughout tho South who approciato soldierly qualities and patriotism. Ho ' has a great heart all for tho South. . Gen. ?arly died Mar. 2nd, at 10:30 P. M. at Lynchburg, Va. * # * And now thoy say Promior Gladstone will eortainly resign.

Private John Alien, Congressman from Mississippi, repudiates what Con gressman Riehardson said at tho New York banquet, undor tho circumstan ces. Listen to him: "Before aware of the influences sur rounding a banquet, if I were not per fectly familiar with the abstemious habits of my friends from Tonnesseo, I would have thought on reading this speech that ho had gotten somewhat under the same influence that another Tennossoean did that a traveling man told mo about. "Tho story was about a ragged, seedy, hardlooklng follow, who learned that the travollng man know his broth er living in Kaufman county, Toxas. Tho Toxas brother was well olf and the Tonnesseean asked the travollng man If ho ever saw his brother again to tell him that he was hardup and that if ho was over going to do anything for him that was tho time. Under tho inilucnce of two or threo drinks, how ovor, things began to brighton with him, and tho hist tho travollng man heard from him was a request'to toll his brothor In Toxas that If he wautod any thiug 'just to draw on mo.' (Laugh ter.) "Now, undor tho influence of one of thoso Now York banquots," said Mr. Allen, "with all thoy have good to oat and tho accompanlmonts, ono fools by tho timo that spoaking begins llko tolling tho rest of tho world to draw on him.- (Laughtor.) Thoro Is no divining what a man will door say in such circumstances. For instance, thoro aro various brands of the Tillman stuff and tho effect must vary in individuals. Besides, when tho wine is in thn wit is out. A Georgia Judge, (chostnut,) at a village Court Houso inn was convivial with tho boys on tho night proceeding court. Thoy stuffed his pockets while ho slept, with tho old land-lady's spoons. Thoro was a jolly time next morning. In tho Court an unfortunate charged with stealing intorposod tho plea?

It will nominate a can didate for Govornor and another for Lioutcnant-Govornor and possibly a a full toam will bo signod. Some follow like Fllorbo will bo placed at the hoad of tho ticket, if not tho present Chairman of tho State Board of Control?Tillman. Govornor Tillman assorts that ho will not bo a candidate for a third term. That assortion means nothing at all: 'tisn't worth a counterfeit cop por. He was no candidate before the March convention of 181)0, but he was on hand and hungry just the same. And if when this April convention meets tho lung power of the three or four hundred Reformers present is ex-' erted in yelling for "Old Bon," as they aro fond of calling him, to come and break the rocord and save tho move ment from collapse and "Old Ben" with that wonderful eye of his seos that such a course will earn from tho Roformers a renewal of exuberant gratitudo and with it incidentally an easy election to tho U.

Ono fools when the lecture is over that he has been to a funeral al | though the lecturer intersperses the pathetic narrative with many humor ous anecdotes. It would bo usoless for mo to attempt to give any idea of the lecture in a let ter like this. General Gordon is a fin ished 8poaker who has evidently made a careful study of tho art of oratory al though tho essential eloments were born in him. Tho lecture is calcu lated to broadon one's ideas of patriot ism and powerfully appeals to one's hotter nature but 1 think it was marred by too much talk about tho American llag. Tho American Hag is a very good sort of a llag in its place, but it did not comport with the better parts of Gordon's otherwise splendid ellort. * * The Supremo Court has not decidod the Disponsary case. * # * .lohn Gary Evans and Stanyarne Wilson were in town this week.

Hood & Co., Lowell, Mass.: "Dear Sirs:?I bellevo in Hood's Sarsaparilla. t will tell you why. I have suffered from in herited scrofula from child hood. When 37 years of age, my eyes became strangely affected. I ?ouid not read utter sunset, and when [would elose my eyes, I could not open them; but on Whlchover side I lay, on that side I could open my eye. This condition oontinucd about two years, and was succcoded by An Intolerable Itching all over my body and limbs. I had to have my tittle boys tako shoe brushes and scratch mo. It was dreadful. It continued a month and was followed immediately by a tumor In tho right aide of my nock, as largo as a small egg. I at once commenced taking physicians' prescrip tions and continued till I lost hope. In the mean time the tumor changed its plaoe to tho imme diate front of my neck, suppurated and was fol lowed by others, till six had formed and broken. "Finally, three years ago, another largo tu mor soated itself on the point of my collar botio and In six months another half way back on the hone. Uoth of them soon began to discharge nontns and continued to do so till about sevi ago. I tried everything, including pi'cs .ptlons. I was often so weak that I Could Scarcely Walk ? and my mind was so confused that I oould ecaroely attend to my business (school tcaolt* lng). I was utterly discouraged. And now my story draws to a close. I began the use of HoodVv> Cures Hood's Sarsaparilla a little less than a year ago, and took five bottles. When I began I had up faith in it. In less than throe months both the sores on my shoulder wero healed ; 1 wns cured of a troublosomo catarrh; and scrofulous habit has steadily grown less apparent. I weigh more than 1 ever did in my life, and am In the Best of Health, eonslderlng my constitution. Do you wonder that I bollevo tn Hood's Sarsaparilla?
