In Washington city-.
ZaCH Chandler is conducting the
Hares and Wheeler campaign. Chan
dler is Grant's secretary of the interior.
The exincies of the campaign in
Vermont require the pre pence of Re
publican speaker, and Brlstow Is to take
the stump there this week.
Gen. Bf.x. Harri90n. who has been
placed on the Republican ticket in Indi
ana, In place of Orth, Is said to be a man
of excellent refutation. He exhibits
treat repugnance to becoming a eandi
date, and it is doubtful it he will accept.
Thirty-one Republican senators have
signed Mullett's application forre-instate-
tnent as architect ot th treasury. Many
of Grant's pcrsoual friends, among these
Boss Shepherd, arc active in bchalt ot
Mullelt. This Is a shininff Instance of
retorm within tfee party.
Tex thousand copies of the majority
report of the Mississippi investigation are
to be printed for circulation as a can
paiiin document by the Republicans
The Republican members of the cow-
mlttee read the report iu the senate be
fore submitting it to the minority, nnd
the action has very jutly incensed the
Democratic members of the committee.
Immediately upon the conclusion ot
Babcock's trial at St. Louis, the following
telegram, with its signature, was sent to
him :
Chicago. Feb. 21. 1S7G. To Gen. O.
E. Babcock, St. Louis : Hearty congrat
ulations from me aud others from South
em Illinois. Green B. Halm.
Gen. Raum is now Grant's lately ap
pointed commissioner of internal reve

The text of the bill repealing the re
sumption clause of the resumption act
is as follows ;
Be tt enacted, tie., That the resump

meats, approved Jan. 14, 1875, which
clause is in the words lollow ing. viz

The bill was passed by the house on
Saturday last. It is not likely that the
senate will concur.
THRORtUISATOROFTIIt. WHISKY
KISS.
The Alleghanney, l'enn.. Evening
Mail, a Republican newspaper in
an issue ol recentdste, touches
...... t. - A i
upon a heretofore unwritten cnaincr
resident Grant's history. As to the
truth of this story the Slut writer affirm
Wc speak w hat w e do know, and testify
to what we have seen nnd heard with
eur ow ii eyes and ears. It Is the vrrita.
We truth." The story will be read with
peculiar interest by the old time residents
ot Cairo. The Mail tells it thus: It
wa sometime In the sum
mer of 1?C2 that the first whUky
ring was formed. Gen. Grant was In
command of the department of the south.
with his headquarters at Memphis, lenn.
It was during this time that Gen.
Grant s famous whisky orders were pru-
miileated. The occasion of these extraor
dinary pronuneiamentus 1 still frc.-h In
the memory ot a number of living wit-
nesses. At the time of which we are now
writine whiskv was selling in Memphis
at from from forty to fifty cents per gal
lon, and all other liquors in the same
proportion. lien. Grant, through his
friends, united and purchased all the
available liquors in the market at that
lace. Alter it had been bought
and delivered into tins nanus
of bis friends and agents. Gen. Grant
suddenly discovered that there w as en
tirely too much whisky coming within
lines, lie immediately issued a posi
tive order prohibiting any more liquor
from being transported to Memphis. In
three days after the issuance of the la-
nious whisky order, the price of whisky
1 from fiitv cents a gallon to
from three to five dollars per gallon, at
rnr.iinT to oualitv. This order was
maintained and strictly enforced until all
the liquors! were consumed within the
lilies, or more properly speaking until
Grant's agents had sol J out and raked
Into the Dool an immense
pile of greenbacks. Shortly after
wards Gen. Grant suddenly tiis-
cnvi-red that liauor was again needed
within the lines for hospitals and rnedici
iial purposes, but there was no new order
issued until his partners anu agents iiau
time to visit Cairo and buy up every gal
Ion of liquor available in the city, besides
having large quantities shipped from St.
Louis to Cairo, awaiting the fresh order
No. 2, which took off all restrictions and
opened up the whisky trade again in
Memnhls. Gen. Grant s agents, in ttie
meantime, bcinz fully posted, had
their shipments all made and their li
ouor on the way and in market before
outsiders knew anything of the order. O1
course the market was completely
glutted, and the price of w hisky immcdi
ately declined at Memphis to fifty cents a
cation. Now mark, as soon as Grant s
b
friends, heavy invoices bad been received
the general discovered that there was so
much liquor shipped that there was im
minent danger ot demoralizing the army
and at once issued another order to pro
hibit any more liquor from coming with'
in the lines. Whisky again went up on
thwarted and disappointed in the object
that brought them here the swelling
advertisement of their merchandise.
Disguise it as we may by such hiuh
soundlng expressions as the "parliament
of nations," and "the federation ol the
world," the prime object of this show is
not patriotism, or the promotion of the
era ot peace ; it K (wc would as well call
things by their proper names) that the
merchant princes" (a poetic name for
rich shopmen) may introduce their good
to a large number of buyers.
Philadelphia, the largest manufactur
ing city ot this hemisphere, wanted ft
heavy advertisement, hence she raised
$S,0t)0,C00 for enthusiasm, of which she
lid a part.
Portions of huropc nnd perhaps Oj
Asia have learned that Philadelphia
is not an island, and is not in South
America. The spread of geographical
nowledirc is not unimportant. Eng
land, Prance, Russia, and other coun
tries desired to display certain products
that tin v honed to sell in this mar-
et, and, alter ferrying them across the
Vtlantic, about oue-third as many peo
ple have come to see tliem as went to me
xpositions in Paris and Vienna In the
same length of time. The educational
display, that in w hich the different coun
tries try by means of maps, charts, text
books, school apparatus and furniture,
to show what they are doing in the in-
truction of the young; and the displays
ot various nations ol what they have nc

are lor sale, and they will be sold very

the city authorities will not allow them

Symptoms of a Diseased Liver.
"MAIN in the right side, under the
J. edge of the rils increases on pres
sure ; sometimes the pain is in the left
bide; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side ; sometimes the pain
is felt under the shoulder-blade, and
it frequently extends to the top of
the shoulder, and is sometimes mis
taken for a rheumatism in the arm.
The stomach is affet ted with loss of
appetite and sit knes ; the bowels in
general are restive, sometimes alter
native with lax ; the head is troubled
with pain, act ornpaiiiul with a dull,
heavy sensation in the batk part.
There isgenerally a considerable loss
of memory .accompanied with apain
ful sensation of having left undone
something which ought to have been
done. A slight, dry cough is some
times an attendant, j The patient
omplains of weariness and debility ;
he is tanily startled, his feet are cold
or burning, and he complains of a
prickly sensation cf the skin; his
spirits are low; and although he is
satisfied that exercise would be bene
fit ial to him, jet he tan scarcely
summon up fortitude enough to try
it. In fat t, lie distrusts every rem
edy. Several cf the above symp
toms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex
isted, vet examination cf the body,
after death, has shown the mvfk to
have been extensively deranged.
