obtaned feels IT his duty to thus publicly express lis
most sincere 5gai tude to Dr. l.. }. Czapkay for the
permanent recovery ofhis health. Borne down by
the distressing symptoms incident to tie vicious praC-

body and mind, unable to perform even the most tri-

sought the of many physicians, who az first re-
sarded my disease of trilng Importance; but alasl
after few weeks, and In several Instances months, of
their treatment found to terable horror that
in their torture and being told by that my disease
being principally confined to the brain, medicines
would be of little consequence, despaired Of re-
gaining my health, strength and energy and as last
resort, and with but faint hope, called upon DR..
Czapkay, who, after examining my case, prescribed
some medicine which almost instantly relieved me of
the dull pain and dizziness in my head. Encouraged
by this result, resolved to place myself Immediately
under his care and by strict obedience TO all his d-
rections and advice, my head became clear my ideas
collected, the constant pain in my back aud groins,
the weakness of my limbs, the reaction of my
whole body on the slightest alarm excitement the

by involuntary discharges, have all disappeared and,
in fact, in two months after having consulted the Doc

With view to guard the unfortunate from falling in
to the snares of incompetent quacks deem it my du-

The GORILLA "A novelty is a.
bout to be introduced at the Syden-
ham Crystal Palace, in the shape of
a specimen of the gorilla, an animal
said more nearly to approach to the
human species than any yet discov-
cred, and the existence of which was
long deemed to be fabulous. Some
item years since a traveller in the in
terror of Western Africa saw native
tribe engaged in worshipping what
appeared to be human skull set up
on a pole; the curiosity of che travel
Ter was excited, and with considera-
BILE trouble he obtained possession of
the idol, and forwarded it to Profess
sor Owen for his opinion. Professor
Owen decided that the creature. did
not belong to any of the species of
chimpanzees, or indeed to any of the
monkey tribe that it was altogether
|unrepresented by any spesimen of ma
tural history known to the scientific
world and the paper, which he read
before the Geological Society: There
were not few who ridiculed as alto
gether fanciful the drawing of the re-
stored animal, which the Professor
had made without any other inforira-
ton to guide him than the structure
|ofthe skull. At length, after extraor-
binary exertions, an animal was cap
tured, and, packed in a cask of spirits
of wine, duly arrived in this country
Ia few weeks since, and is found to

with the description of it by Profcs-
sor Owen. The Gorilla is Il native
of Western Africa, and is said to ex-
ist in very large numbers in the Ca
boon districts, where they are among
the most formidable of the wild ami
mails Of the forest. The present spe=
cimen, which has been most carefully
skinned and preserved by Mr.. Bart:
lett, the taxidcrmist to the Crystal
P alace, under the direction of Pro-
fessor Owen, is rather more than FIVE
feet in height. 1t is a male, known
to be young by the state of his teeth
and the condition of the sutures of the
skull. The fore legs or arms are Of
great length and prodigious strength,
greatly surprising that of any human
arm the hind legs are comparatively
short, and are we'll adapted for tree
climbing. In features the animal is
very much like negro, and the orbits
over the eyes are considerably project
ed. The teeth are formed almost pre-
cisely as in man, and unlike those of
the monkey, chimpanzec, ourang-out-
ang, they are OF great strength, and i'll
the skull which was first sent over to
this country the CANNES were nearly
as large and as strong as those of u
lion. The negroes of Africa live in
constant terror Of these animals, which
are gregarious and it is stated by the
natives that they frequently descend
in considerable force, sack the vii
j, lagos, carry away the young children
and devour them aud, further, that
they have very ugly custom of at
tacking men, and wrenching off the
one Of the creatures is fred at or at
tackled, the whole tribe come down to-
the rescue, and escape from the COM
bined assault is impossible. This spc--
cimen will remain a short time at the
: Palace, by the permission of the trus-
tees of the British Museum, whose:
property it is, and where it is destined
to be placed.-Morning Post.

bonds TO be presented and executed,
some six to eight months after the Hratd
proposes to have the road completed to
the Branch, under this plan. Perhaps the
Herald supposed that contractors whom
the people know and in whom they have
confidence, would bone forward and give
security ON contract to expend $50, 900
upon the road, in anticipation Of the receipt
of the said bonds, promised to be delivered
by resolution of public meeting of our
citizens.
We wish the Herald would make his
production good SO far as to procure such
contractors who are willing to go it blind
and count their chickens before they are
Matched. We think you will have to try
again Mr.. Herald. Don't be afraid. You
have said the village will give its bonds to
have the road completed 20 The Branch by
January Now had not your contractors
who will do this upon promises of these
bonds, and you will deserve the gratitude
of the people.

To the Electors of School Dis.
tricts.

As the time for the election of District
Clerk, for a term of three years, for each
School District in the State, deem it of
so much importance to the cause of educa-
ton as to venture to call special attention
to the subject, and urge your attendance at
the annual meeting.
The School District elections are too
generally disregarded, while none so vital
ly and intimately concern the nearest in
terests of the whole people. 1t is this cri-
minal neglect that enables few-and
those not always the most discreet and in
telligent-to foist upon the District, men
utterly unfit for School officers, however
good citizens they may be in other respects
and thus the whole school system, from its
improper administration, is frequently
brought into disrepute, bitter quarrels and
vexatious litigations engendered, unworthy
teachers employed, and the children de-
prived Of the proper facilities for acquiring
an education. When there is scarcely one
in every hundred Of our youth who enjoy
the higher advantages of our Universities,
Colleges and Academies, how very impor
tant is it, that our Common Schools should
be watched over with jealous care on the
part of the people, and only the oery best
men chosen for their supervision and man
agement.
Spend then, fellow citizens, few hours,
if need be, in the faithful performance Of
this high duty-select judicious and com
petent man for Clerk-one who will serve
his District with an eye single to the best
interest of the people and the cause of edu-
cation-one who will not seek to make
use Of his position to force upon the District
a sister, a son, or a daughter for teacher,
when better selection could and should
be made-one, in short, who will not seek
the office for the promotion of selfish ends
or pecuniary considerations.
In making choice of important and re-
sponsible public officer, | entreat you to
lay aside every improper influence-every
political and sectarian partiality-and Sc
lect for Clerkthe man best fitted in the Dis
trict for the position. Then will your
schools be improved, peace promoted, and
your children properly educated. There
are persons in every District, who, if not
entirely competent for the Office of Clerk,
are at least comparatively so-honest. in.
telligent, and well meaning, let such be
sought out and elected on the last Monday
in September, and then no one will be dis
posed to complain because he has been
earnestly urged to performance of his
duty. Your respectfully,
LYMAN G.. DRAPER,
Superintendent Public Instruction.

The Demand of Chas. Roeser

We are from PRINCIPLE in favor of the
nomination of CARL ScHURrz as candidate
for the office Ex-Governor, not PERHAPS %

DEMAND ofthe Republican patty in this
State, that they through an open living
deed, viz: the nomination of foreign born
citizen, who has secured esteem through
out the United States, condemn the Mas
sachusetts prescription of foreign born cit
liens, and to raise the Republican principle
of equal rights of all citizens to real truth
-W5S Democrat.
The above exceedingly liberal paragraph
written by Chas. R9ser of the Manitowoc
Den'ohrat, German Republican paper, is
going the rounds and exciting more or less
comment from our State exchanges. Let
us look into the matter trife, and see
who this man is who makes this authori-
tative demand, and upon what kind Of
principle he bases his edict-C Calumet Re
publican.
We do not agree with the Republican
in his denuncation of Mr.. RoEsER's de-
mand, for the nomination of Mr. SCHURTz
for Governor. Mr.. RoEsER was formerly
a Democrat, and an efficient co-wOrker in
the Democratic PARTY for the establishment
of Democratic principles and measures,
but was induced to believe that the Repub-
lican party by its profession of liberal prin-
cipIes, was the party of freedom in this
country, and therefore changed his party
position.
lie was made to believe that the Repub,
icanparty was opposed to Know Nothing
ism, and in favor of the extention of the
same privileges to foreign and native born
citizens, and that on the other hand the
Democratic party was the proscriptive
knownothing party Of the State and nation.
We insist that he is right in demanding
that the Republican party should give ev-
idence Of the truth af their assertions, that
they are not Known othings, by the nom
ination of CARL SCuURrz for Governor.
Mr.. RoEsER has presented the issue to
his party friends, and if they throw Mr..
SCuURTz overheard at their Convention Of
the 3lst, he will be at liberty to act ac-
cordng to his own convictions of what is
truly Democratic and liberal in principle,
and we have no doubt that he will return
to his first love as foreign born citizen

IL some man or men, possessing means
or credit, should propose fair contract to

people would at once agree upon plan
of issuing bonds to sufficient and reason

the payment of principal and interest by

an arrangement would enable the Contrac

par value, without STIMULATING for fifteen

CORRESPONDENCE.
MANITowOC, July ODD, 1859.

MANITowoc, July ODD, 1859.
Ma. EDlToR:-
In the Daily Tribune of yesterday, is an
Editorial article rejecting upon the action
taken by the Republican District Conven-
ton, which met in this village last Satur-
day, to choose delegates to the Republican
State Convention, and accusing a majority
Of that convention, with unfairness, and
selfishness.
Gen. SMITH in his article, does not state
his real cause for dissatisfaction, which ar
rives first, from the fact, that the General
was DESTROYS to be sent to Madison, in or
der that he might assist in the nomination
Of Gov. RANDALL, and also gain a little
notoriety for himself, and also he is not
satisfied because two Germans were elect
| ed instead of two Americans. 1t is true
| that motion was made that ALFRED SMITH
| should be permitted to cast three votes in
the Convention, as the representative of
the Town of Mishicott, when he did not
feel enough interest in the Republican
party, or its principles, to call a caucus in
Mishicott, so that that town might be rep
resented in our Convention. Mr.. SMITH
certainly presented no credentials, and had
none; and the Convention very properly
refused to know him as a delegate. There
is another good reason why we should not
receive Mr.. SMITH as the representative of
the fifty Republican voters of Misbicott;
and that is, he is not himself voter in
this State, as he has been settled resident
of Illinois, within the last year; and his
admission to the Convention was only
wanted by those delegates, who did not
like to send Dutchman to Madison, and
MIR. SMITH was opposed to all Dutchmen.
Mr.. Gen. SMITH implies, that the dele.
gates from Manitowoc Town ruled the
Convention, and were not willing to give
one delegate to Two Rivers. Two Rivers
did not ask nor call Cor delegate, for some
members from Two Rivers voted for both
the delegates who were elected, while some
from Manitowoc did not vote for either Of
them.
Excuse me, Mr.. Editor, for troubling
Democratic paper, with this Republican
matter, but we only want one ODpOrtunitv
to let some Americans know the truth of
this case, so they may not believe every
thing against the Germans, that the great
Gen SMITH may say; and they should not
find fault because two Germans are now
chosen delegates to Madison, for we found
no fault when two Americans were chosen
two years ago, for the same purpose.

" aoiliNGIoNy aug. -, 1909.
Col. John L. Peyton, .Stuunton, Ia.
Ny DEAR SHY OH do me no more
than justice in your kind letter, for which
accept my thanks, in assuming that ] do
not concur with the Administration in
their view respecting the rights of natur-
allied citizens, as defined in the "Le Clerc
letter, which, it is proper to observe, have
since been materially modified.
Under our Constitution there can be no
Just distinction between the rights of ma
tive born and naturaIized citizens to claim
the protection of our government, at home
and abroad. Unless naturalization re-
eases the person naturalized from all OBJ
legation which he owed to his native coun-
try, by virtue of his allegiance, it leaves
him III the sad predcament of owing allie
glance to two countries without receiving
protection from either-a dilemma in
which no American citizen should ever be
placed.
Neither have you Inexperienced my
opinion In respect to the African Slave
Trade. That question seriously disturbed
! the harmony of the Convention which
framed the Federal Constitution. Upon it
! the delegates divided into two parties, un-
der circumstances which, for a time, rem
dered harmonious action impossible. The
one demanded the instant and uncondition-
al prohibition Of the African Slave Trade,
OH moral and religious grounds, while the
other insisted that it was a legitimate COM
merce, involving no other consideration
than sound public policy, which each
State ought to be permitted to determine
for itself, so long as it was sanctioned by
its own laws. Each party stood firmly
and resolutely by its own position until
both became convinced that this vexed
question would break up the Convention,
destroy the Federal Union, blot out the
glories of the Revolution, and throw away
all its blessings, unless some fair and Just
compromise could be formed on the COM
mon ground of such mutual concessions as
were indispensable to the preservation of
their liberties, Union and independence.
Such compromise was effected and in
colporated into the constitution, by which
1t was understood that the African slave
trade might continue as legitimate COM
merce in those states whose laws santioned
it until the year 1908, from and after
which time Congress might and would
prohibit it forever, throughout the domin-
ion and limits Of the United States, and
pass all laws which might become neces
sary to make such prohibition etfectual.
The harmony of the Convention was re-
stored, and the Union saved by this COM
promise, without which the constitution
could never have been made.
stand firmly by this compromise, and
by all the other compromises of the con-
sttution, and shall use my best efforts to
carry each and all Of them into faithful exc
cution, and in the sense and with the I'M
Outstanding which they were originally
adopted. | am irreconcilably opposed 10

any form and under any circumstances.

1t their business to excite the people on the
subject Of their respective merits, or claims
for The support of the voters, and though
personal prejudice or preference, more
than political principle, the people are
stimulated to take an active part in the

Now no political principal is involved in

We hope then at the coming election tc

is an imperative duty which should at al
times be performed, and never with indiff

If there are any class of people from
whom we would be willing to withhold
the right of franchise, it is that class who
fail to perform this sacred duty.
