We will say this for the editor of
the National Republican; He is a
frank and honest enemy to the Dem
ocratic party. 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. The
Independents, Liberals, Greenback
?rs and other disorganizes at the
Jouth are simply Radical-Republi
:ans in disguise, who are plotting to
" ni' the South r*|^?

re deal with the masquerading ,
5reenbackers, Independents and Lib
?ruis as the left wing of Centralism
he better. The South can only be
leleated in her own citadel. The
Democratic party-the party o? the
.copie-can only fail o: victory in
1884 by the tre?.cliery of men in the
southern camp, who are enemies
nore to be dreaded than avowed
?nemies abroad. We thank the Na

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,

At H special mvetiug of the Med?

.'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.

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. Loriug
J said he went to F orida to write
ja book on Egypt, bnl he had not
' written ?1 line yet,.
The Salvation Anny is the great
I topic ot theological discussion in
j England jual now. The established
! Church clergy are divided in opinion.
' Canon Farrar has made it the object
I of discriminating denunciation in
West minster Abbey. Seme of the

I L'lumpire, of Weill, has written to
! "General" Booth, begging bim to re
? consider the iiri? of policy he has
i adopted. The Dean admits that good
j ?a being done, but it is mixed with
j evil.

far beyond the exploits of every

The story of a horrible affair which
ooh piare on tho head waters ol
Middle Fork river last week has just
been detailed to us by a reliable gen
tleman. It seems that a family ol
German? or Swiss settled some few
years agc. in the midst ol a vacar.t
wilderness on the river above namer',
a ooceiderable distance irom any
other settlement. By industry, the
family soon had a nic? little area of
this ? ich and productive ?-oil under
cultivation, and by frugality ard
labor hail accumulated a competence
and were living happily in their for
est home, though still far from neigh
bors, and what are usually termed
i the comforts ol life. I.HM week th?'
? happiness of this little home was
I sadly maned. A charming little
! daughter some seven or right-yearn
' ol age, and the pet of the household
? war* told to ?40 ami bring in the cow

, j inventing a Btory to keep from doini:

Jg., and finally threatened to whip

.'child started, her parents litt U
dreaming the horrible fate which
{?awaited their loved one. The pr\
p ; failed to return, and her protracted
e absence, taken In connection witl
s j her previous story, finally alarmed th?
r father and he started in search 0

I the negro candidate for the office.
1 Air. Tillman's great speech in rel
erence to the glorious New England
er* won him no votes from that sec
tion. They voted solidly against
him all the r-arue. 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. We presume that he has drawn
hw pay, and that the negro, Smalls,
was merely v.?ted the seat at the last
so that he too might draw 810,000
from the public treasury.
