A NICE SURGICAL OPERATIoN.-A very skill ful surgical operation was performed by Dr. Cantrel in this city about ten days since-the subject being little girl, seven years old, daugh- ter Of Mir. F. Dtter. She had never been able to walk, owing to contraction of the muscles and tendons on the back of the legs-the knees being very much bent and feet drawn back wards The deformity speedily removed by dividing the tendons of the posterior mu>- cles of the legs, rendering them perfectly straight-and incredible as it appears, the child is now doing well and will be able to walk. Drs. A. W. Webb and Sizer were present and assisted pr. Cantrel in the operation.
 Gov. CoSwAY's INAUGURAL.-We this week avail ourselves of the space to present to our readers Gov Conway's Inaugural Address Although it was written whilst His Excelen- cy's attention was daily occupied in the dis charge of the duties incumbent upon him dur ing the session of the Legislature, and whilst he was almost physically prostrated by sick hess, yet, perusal of it will satisfy the reader that it is a document of merit and ability.-- The conclusion of 1t contains a complete ex- inguisher of the carping which was heard last winter in regard to Gov. Conway's delay from sickness, to take the oath of office until the close of the Legislature
 GEN. IIoUsToN IN THE FIELD.-The Hunts vile Recorder extra, of May 12th has the following announcement:
 OLD SAMIN THE FIELD.--To day Gen. Hous- ton came to town and declared himself a can | didate for Governor.
 His enemies had declared if he ran, the issue would be " Houston and Anti-Nouston," and upon that issue he appeals to the people. He | says that he Is not the candidate of party, and if elected he intends to be Governor of the whole people-that he has been, and ever will be, Jackson democrat. His object will be to advance and promote the interests of the State and people as of old.
 I This says the News, is by no means unex- pected intelligence. We stated six weeks ago that Gen. Houston would, in all probability, be the opposition candidate for Governor.
 The above announcements seems to ignore prin- ciples together, and presents old Sam with out any platform to stand upon in the guberna- toria canvass. Platforms and principles have become distasteiul to the Know Nothings and they have had so many of the former wiL3out the latter that we do hot wonder at their get ting tired of both

REPENTANT DEMOCRATS s-Durn. the session of the Waco cXa-) convention, says the Gal weston News Col. J. $. Ford, editor of the Aus tin State Times, and Frank E. Williams, of Cherokee county, were received back into de- mocratic fold, from whence they had been de- coyed by the dark lanterns of Know Nothing ism. Our neishbor of the Civilian, who was present, says:
 Col. John $. Ford, editor of the State Times, first came forward. He said that he had joined the American party with none but good mo- tlveS, though without investigating materially its principles; but that he had long since be- come convinced that those principles were an- tagonstlc to the true notions of free govern- ment, but he had refrained from any public de- caration from various consderations--he did not want office, nor would he have office if ten- dered him. He believed that the salvation of the country, and especially of the south, de- pended upon the integrity and stability of the democratic party, as the only national organi- zaton in existence
 Mr. Williams followed in the same strain-- The party is not disposed to be hard upon those " "who do truly repent and forsake," etc., etc.

A Fools Errand.

We received a circular without sigma
ture or other marks of authenticity, from
one Heeler, of Cleveland, purporting to
emenate from the "Cleyelaud Kansas Aid
Society,"" calling a general convention to
meet in that city about the middle of De-
cember, "for the purpose of organizing
public sentiment against the Lecompton
Constitution" &c. We presume the cir
cular is the product of said Keller, who
is a visionary, morbid demagogue, with
influence and standing far below his self
c%ouceit.
The calling of such a convention for
such a purpose, is simply idle and nonsen-
steal. It would accomplish no good, but
would subject those who attended it to
useless loss of time and money, though it
might give the said Keller an 'opportuni-
ty to make shallow-pated speeches and
"show off,"
The Lecomton Constitution outrage is
meeting with general opposition from
men of all parties-the Northern Democ-
racy inclusive. Let well enough alone
and keep away from conventions of this
sort, unless you wish to iDjure the cause
you profess to espouse. Give it a wide
birth.-C Chicago Tribune.

WASHINGTON, Dee.4.-The constitution
formed by the recent Kansas Convention
is warmly approved by Senator Bigler
and other prominent democrats, although
Senator Douglas has freely expressed
himself against it. The opinion is that
he will not act in direct an%tagonism to
the Administrator.
The appearances are that a organizatio D
will be effected on Monday without troub-
BILE. The contest is particularly warm
for Postmaster, Printer, and Doorkeeper.
It is now contemplated to send the
Presidents Message in advance to New
York, Philadelphia. and Richmond. A
decision in the matter will probably be
arrived at to morrow.

never known any other medicine win as
large a share of public confidence in SO
short a time as this has done-1t has, not
been more than a year since we first heard
of it and it now stands at the head of all
remedies of the kind. We have never
used any of it ourselves, having had no oc-
c~asion, as our crown of glory not only
as yet retains its original color, but gets
more so-buts some of our friends have,
aud we have never known it to fail in re-
storing the hair to its original color. We
advise such as are becoming preInatutely
gray to give the Restorative a trial.

For THE LAwYERs-A nice question is
likely to come before the English Courts.
The late Earl of Fitzharding had a rent
roll of 100000 a year, payable half
yearly on "Lady day and 'Miehaelmas
day. old style. The latter day this year
fell on Sunday the 18th of October, aud it
was about the same time that Saturday
was passing into Sunday that the Earl
died. The moment after his death the
estate belonged to another person, and as
the rents were due a second after IL
O'Clock on the 10th, if the Earl did not
breathe his last until after that hour, the
5000, 900 goes with the estate if he
died before that hour, it forms a part of
his personal estate and goes in another
direction. As the house clock the parish
clock and the m~etropolition clock did not
happen to agree that night, the courts
have to decide upon the true time.-Hart-
