afraid that if bab too much, he might draw
a tight rein on me-" Roars Of laughter and
loud applause during which the president re-
tired within the car
The PRESIDENT arrived in Washington on
Friday evening, the journey having been
very pleasant one, in every respect.
There is great deal Of speculation as to
the object he had in view, which is not yet
made public. 1t is evident, however, that
the trip would not have been taken and in SC
hurried manner unless the president requir
ed to consult with Gen. Scott on important
matters concerning the conduct Of the war OF
the state of the nation, and that some result
Of this consultation will show itself shortIy,i'
not improbable.

Majority against new constitution, OOo.
1t seems to us that the friends Of the new
constitution made poor effort, in both Mer-
Ger and Henry, while the stumptail.negro
party filled every house in these counties with
lying circulars against the new constitution.
and supplied every family with liberal guam,
tity Of tickets against it, and took especial
pains to prevent the people from seeing and
reading the new constitution, or any fair state
ment in regard to 1.-THE friends Of the con-
stitution seem to have remained idle, and LET
the negro worshippers and stumptail advo-
Gates ride right over them. There are indi
vidual exceptions to this, of course, and these
individuals are deserving Of praise, but the
mass Of our friends seem to have been dead.
A general effort on the part of tho friends of
the constitution in circulating the conStitu.
ton and documents explaining it, and sup
plying the people with liberal quantity of
tickets, and urging them to the polls, would
have produced very different result in these
counties

ZuAA Vo1E-Jesse Maxwell, Esq, ofZuma,
called on Us, on Saturday, and he says We
were correct in our suspicious As to an error
in the return Of the votes from that town. la
our paper last week we said
in some towns it seems to us that the peo.
pie must have voted under a misapprehenslOn
Of the effect Of their votes. For instance, III
Zuma there il lOl votes to in favor Of Civ
ing the negroes the right to vote and hold Of
fee. 1t does not seem that this can be pos
siblc. Ii it is, that town ought to be annexed
to Hayti Immediately. But we believe the
officers who counted the votes in Iuma have
committed an error in counting or in return
ing the votes, and have reversed the real vote
Of that town"
Mr. Maxwell, who was one of the Judges of
the election, aud helped count the votes, says
the vote Of the town, as cast, was 8 in favor
| Of the right Of negroes to vote and hold office,
and lOl in opposition. This is precisely the
reverse of the returns made from that town.
The error, Of course was made by the clerks
in entering the figures in the wrong blank ;
| but it cannot be changed now. Mr.. Maxwell
| SAYS there was one ballot, out OF the five,
which was cast in favor of negro suffrage, but
not in favor Of negroes holding Office. No such
ballot could legally be counted at ali. The
convention fixed the precise words to be used
on the ballots, for aud against the various
propositions to be voted upon, and any ballot
cast with any other words upon it could not
legally be counted, and should have been re.
! jected.
We are glad to make this explanation, rs
it shows that our suspicious were correct, as
to the reversal Of the figures. But still Yuma
is the negro paradise of this county-Moline
ls comparatively white town. In Iuma,
by majority Of more than 4 to !, the people
have declared in favor Of settling their town
with negroes more than than 1 to
The towns in this county where the people
! are anxious to associate with negroes, ae
| shown by their votes are AS follows.

This compound will be tounC great promoter

During late years, the public have been misled
by large bottles. pretending to give quart of
Extract of sarsaparilla for one dollar. Most of
these have been frauds upon the sick for they
not only contain little if any sarsaparilla, but
painful disapp ointment has followed the use of
the various extracts of Sarsaparilla which food

and has become synonomius with imposition and
cheat. Still we call this compound Sarsaparilla,
and intend to supply such remedy as shall res
QUE the name from the load of obliquy which
rests upon it. And we think have ground for
believing it has virtues which irresistible by
the ordinary of the diseases it is intended to
