The Nashville Banner, in speaking
Of the shameless course of the Chi
cago Times, and its proposition to
the Democracy to abandon the Pre-
sident, says: "The President has
stood by us and we will stand by
him, though the torches and turpen-
tine be applied to every dwelling and
the surveyors chain to every acre in
all the broad land Of the South.
PUZZLED. The Comptroller of
Georgia is somewhat puzzled to know
how to collect the taxes from ne
Groes. They refuse to pay, change
their names, residences, and float
about over the State to avoid the tax
gatherer, and generally when they
are picked up there is no money. So
the collectors do not know what to
do, as the law provides no remedy.

Bombay is about 1000 miles long,
and is traversed by trains in about

at present, consists Of mails and car

Of the heat.

The cause of fever is the contamination Of
the blood by somo morbific agent. The
nerves connected with nutrition and or
ganc contractility suffer alteration in their
composition. The muscles, deprived of
nervous influence, begin to waste, and this
waste produces heat. The heart is in
creased i'll its action, and the ,lood is rem
dered still moro impure by receiving the
wasted tissues by the continued action of
the morbid agent, as we'll as by the func-
tions of the lungs, liver and spleen being
impeded. Purify, therefore, the springs of
life, the blood. Use the "Queen's Delight, -
the great blood remedy, and all morbid
agents will be removed. The Queens De
light has cured many cases of contamina-
ton of the blood, chill and fever, typhoid
fever; eruptise fever will be prevented by
the free use of the Queens Delight. For

Bic ON THE ALERT: DANGER Is

AT HAND!-This has been 4 sickly season.
The medical faculty prophecy evil in the
future. They think pcstiIenco is on The
wing for America. Suppose this to bc
true, what is the best defence against it.?
Rcdoublcd nervous vigor. This is the only
protection against panic, as we'll rs against
the principle Of infection. Why DO not
those who predict the epidemic propose an
adequate preventive? There is one-a
tonic, neryinc and alternative, competent to
shield the system against the subtle cle-
ments Of disease, whether they float hither
on the winds from distant lands, or rise
like vapor from our own soil. or ere incor-
porated with the universal fluid. This one
prerentire, o. which there is no duplicate
among the c, mpounds, either of the Old
World or the \ wv, is HOSrETTER'S STO-
MACH BIrTF,iS.
Remember that it is specific for all the
complaints which lay the system OpC! to
visitations OF deadly epidemics. If you are
dyspepuc, it rcnews the vigor of Your di-
Sestlvc powers, gives You appetite and re-
stores your chccrfulncss. If You are
nervous, it invigoratcs every fibre Of your
nervous system, from the base of the brain,
where 1t begins, to the cXtremitics, where
it terminates. If you are bilious, it dis ci-
plines your unruly liver and brings the
action Of that organ into harmony with
the laws Of health. 1t is, in short, an in
viSorant and alternative so powerful that
nature, with Hostet.cr's Bitters for her
ally, may bid defiance alike to native mala
ria and foreign Infection. If this enemy we
hear ot-this disease which is desolating
Europe-is really bound hithcrward, it be-
hooves the prudent to put on their armor,
to clotho themselves with invulnerability
as far as human means will permit, by pre-
pairing the system for resistance with this
pure vegetable antidotc. Nov l6 t6

From the Philadelphia Age.l
There is so much doubt eel. and expressed
in regard to the election returns, that We

earnestly, GA the Democratic election officers
and chairmen Of county committees, 10 care

this il done ia the most reliable manner,
publish the returns from each county, on
send them to this Office for Publication. Il
Is important We should have these exact re-
turns certified BY the chairmen Of the county
committees.
Ifthis Is promptly attended 70, the attempt
ed frauds In what il called "eficiai returns"
will be discovered, and the guilty viii be de-
sected. Il Is Of serious moment, and our
friends should use extra exertions in this
matter. The boaa OF the Radicals that I'VE

New YORK, Oct. 16.-A Florence dis
patch, per Steamer Scotia, says the follow
ing are the principle conditions Of the treaty
of peace between Austria and Italy:
The frontier TO be added to Italy is that
which constitutes the administration front of
Venetia while under Austrian dominion.
The amount of debt assumed by Italy is
thirty-five million forms, payable in eleven
installments in twenty-three months.
The Monte Lombardo Venetia is trans
ferred to Italy with ito yearly assets and LA
bilities. It's assets are three million five
hundred thousand forms, and its liabilities
sixty-three million forms.
Until further arrangements the revenue of
the two networks of railway, north and
south of the Alps, will be allowed to accu-
mulate, in order to calculate the gross reve-
nue. which should serve as a bonus for the
valuation of the KilOmetric guarantee.
Measures are to be taken to seperate the
net works of railways, and complete the un-
finished portions.
The Venetians residing in Austria are to
have the right Of preserving their Austrian
nationality. All objects apart, as well as
the archieves, belonging to Venetia will be
restored. The iron crown of Lombardy will
also be given up to Italy. The treaties
which formerly subsisted between Austria
and Sardinia will again come into force for
the year. During which period fresh ar
rangements can be concluded.
Private property belonging to the Italian
Princess, which has been sequestered by the
Italian Government, was TO be restored,
with the reservation of the rights of the
State, to one-third. A complete amnesty
Will be accorded by both Austria and Italy
to all persons condemned for political Of
fences, to deserters from either army, and to
persons compromised by their political con-
duct.

wigers in day and half signed petition

Another dispatch, dated September 29th,
says the French Minister, Mons. Terre,
warned the Greek Government that France
would break off diplomatic relations with
Greece if the latter did not observe the
strictest neutrality during the present insur-
rection in Gambia.
The Cretean Natiodal Assembly had
called up ihe Greek nation to take part in
the instruction. The English and French
COnsuls in Gambia are opposed to the move
ment.

WHAT does the Cincinnati Commercial
mean when it talks of representatives in
Congress not qualified by the laws of that
boGy?" Is it so ignorant as not to know
that the Constitution of the United States,
and not the laws of 'that body" prescribes
the qualifications of members of "that body"
and declares the number of members re-
quired to constitute "that body?" Does it
contend that the trainers of this government
left these important questions out of the or
ganic law, and referred them to the decision
of party majorities liable to change every
two years?
In the same paragraph in which this
luminous exposition of the theory of the
government occurs, it is also stated, that "if
twenty-one States cannot elect Congress
they cannot elect President, and President
JOHNSON is a pretender." To which it may
be replied, that if since the official procla-
ton of peace Presidential term had ex-
pired, and person had been elected to that
Office by the votes of twenty-one States only,
he would be pretender, just as the Con-
gress now being elected under that state of
case will be n pretender, and entitled to no
rightful authority over any portion of the
people, North or South. The President to
be elected in 1868, in order lawfully to enter
upon the duties of the Office must be elected
in the mode prescribed, by the people Of all
the States, and Congress, to be lawful one,
should be composed Of members elected in,
and representing all the States.

THE EGGLESTON AND PENDLETON
CONTEST.

From the Cincinnati Enquirer.l
For years TO come the late election in
Hamilton county, particularly that in the
First Congressional District, between Messrs
PENDLETON and EGGLEsToN, around which
the great interest of the campaign eentered,
will be remembered in our annals. Although
in one respect local contest, it attracted
general attention all over the United States.
This was mainly caused by the eminent POI
sition and distinguished character of Mr..
GEO. II. PENDLEroN, who bore the flag of
the Democracy and National Union men in
the struggle. He did not desire to be can
didate, and only yielded his reluctance to
the general and vehement wishes of his po-
itieal friends, who felt that the importance
of the crisis and the immense influence Of
the next House demanded that we should
send TO it our ablest and strongest men. It
was believed that il the district--which
was $500 against as at the last Congress
sional election-could possibly be car
ried against the Radicals, it would
be by Mr.. PENDLEToN. Accepting
the nomination upon the basis OF
action laid down by the Philadelphia Con-
yenGen viz the admission Of the Southern
members ana the immediate, full and com
plete restoration OF he Union, Mr.. PENDLE-
roN entered upon the canvass He did 80
with vigor energy and ability tnat soon
alarmed the Radical leaders for the result
in what had been to them, stronghold Of
power.
The most distinguished leaders Of the
party from all parts Of the country were
sent for by them TO arouse their organization
and 10 diminish the effect, il possible, Of
Mr.. PENDLEroS's appeals and arguments
Money from all parts was poured into the
district, and was Used with prodigality
and extravaganza in corrupting voters that
was without parallel inthe past. All sorts
Of chicanery and fraud were resorted to TO
influence the election-such as the imp0rta-
ton Of voters and their colonization in the
district. Under these influences, and the
general excitement which they caused, the
vote Of the district was thousands greater
than was ever cast before. The Jacobins
succeeded in electing Mr.. EGeLEsroS By
majority Of some sO0-that being the re-
mains Of the 2 400 which he had al the pre-
vious election, his competitor, Mr.. PENDLE-
TON, running ahead Of the State ticket IN
every ward and township.

OREGON AND THE AmENDwENT.

A few days ago we announced The fact
that the Oregon Legislature had expunged
its former ratification Of the constitutional
amendment The circumstances attending
that action Is thus given by the Philadel-
phia Aes;
HThe Legislature Of that State is now
holding It's iiftieth regular biennial session,
which convened on the 10Th Of September.
The two most important matters requiring
action al this session were the adoption or
rejection Of the PROPOSED amendment 10 the
Constitution Of the United States, and the
election Of a Senator for the term Of six
wears from the 4th Of March next, TO sue
coed the Hon. J. w. NEsMuTH. In the
House. or lower branch Of the Oregon Lee
gislature, consisting Of forty-seven members,
il 90 happened that in order 10 obtain a
clear Republican majority il was necessary
10 include two members from Grant county,
the seats FOR which were contested. The
Republican candidates were admitted to the
seats at the commencement OF the session,
and the Legislature proceeded AZ once 20 the
adoption Of the proposed amendment and the
election Of a Senator. These matters being
satisfactorily disposed Of, as the overland
telegraph informs us, by the adoption Of the
amendment and the election Of the Hon. II.
w. CoRnErr United States Senator the
question of the right 10 the two contested
seats came up for action. The evidences
that the Democratic claimants were entitled
to the seats must have been very clear and
certain, and Oregon Republicans must be
little ieas esrnpulous than their iriends else
where about manufacturing and holding
party majority IN legislative body, for the
two Republicans we're by 2 Republican

BALTnGoRE, October I6.-Peiitions are
being circulated extensively, signed by those
opposed to the present city government,
calling on Gov. Swain to remove the Police
Commissioners, on the charge Of official
misconduct. The matter excites much com
ment. The law gives the Governor the
power to remove during the recess Of the
Legislature, and also to fill vacancies. The
friends Of the Commissioners maintain, how
ever, that this cannot be done except by
trial and conviction before the Superior
Court while these petitions for the removal
claim that the Governor can at once set the
whole Board aside and appoint a new one.
As the Police Board have the appointment
Of judges for the approaching State election
the importance of the question may be I'M
derstood.
