the condition Of the Blood. Whenever the
Blood becomes impure, no matter from whaa
cause, the effects of such impurity are i'm

taken to remove such impurities, the whole
system becomes affected, and a long fit of
sickness and sometimes death is the result

DR.. WM. K. DoHERrY's Medical and Spr-
gical Institute is becoming a SINE qua non
to the welfare of our State and health of our
citizens; and his rapidly spreading repu-
tation, although it may excite surprise. is
but the signal Of skill, and follows as the
natural effect of such cause We are per-
sonally acquainted with gentlemen who had
suffered for years under chronic disease. and
VINO mad taken advantage of every available
means that promised relief, but without sue
cess, until they called upon DR.. Doherty.
who, IN an incredibly short space of time.
has given them entire relief 1t is gratify
ing to announce this fact, because the Doctor
is gentleman who seeks, not by defamation
OF others. to establish his reputation, or to
rear the superstructure of his own upon the
ruin of another's fame. The Doctor con-
ducts his Institute in such a manner that
must be gratifying to all his patients. He
examines, advises, and recommends without
charge, and the patient. after hearing his
terms for treatment. can accept or reject at
pleasure. In no case does the Doctor make
charge unless he effects a cure. This he
is able to do, because he feels the confidence
winch long experience has given, and no
doubt the consolation which appertains to
that confidence. Persons afflicted with either
acute or chronic disease, would do well to
consult the Doctor at all events, it can do
no harm. as for consultation he asks no fee
nor does he insist on obedience to his advice
unless the patient places himself under his
care His offices are on Sacramento street.

UNEQUAL TAXATIoN.-From the earliest
period IN the history of the world down to
the present time, it has been the constant aim
OF all enlightened governments, whether they
were absolute monarchies or republics, to
equalize taxation. The best method of di-
viding the burdens of government equally
among the people. has been the subject of
deep study to statesmen and philosophers for
ages. 1t is question of great interest to all
nations, because it has been one of the most
fruitful causes of revolution and rebellion.
Unequal taxation, and taxation without rep
resentation, were the principal grievances we
and the causes which led to it. In the face
of all this, with the knowledge of these facts
which are patent to every one who has the
least atom of intelligence, the Legislature
which has just adjourned, enacted law,
which. for its inequality and partiality in re-
gard to taxes, has no parallel in history
They saw fit, in their wisdom, to pass bill
taxing dogs. That would have been proper
enough, if they had taxed all canine quadru-
peds equally; but instead of doing SO. the
Act provides for levying tax of three dol
lars on female dogs, and only one dollar on
males of the same persuasion. Why is this
distinction mades Why should the softer sex
be forced to pay heavier rate of taxation
than the males Are they better able to
stand it: A dog is dog, whatever may be
its sex. Dogs are taxed as nuisance, and
gentleman pup is just as annoying as
lady cur and ought to be taxed the same
If any difference had to be made, it should
have been made in the size, not in the sex.
If a small inofensive poodle is a nui-
sance to the amount of dollar, then great.
big, beef-eating, bowling cur should be taxed
twenty dollars; but the idea that because
a dog happens, unfortunately, to be female
that an outrageous tax must be imposed upon
her, simply because she is such, is absurd
and no good reasons can be given to sustain
the proposition. We hope the next Legisla-
ture will remove the stain from our statute
books.

DISTINGUISHED ARR1vA1s.-Legislative la

DISTINGUISHED ARRIvALs.--Legislati Ia
bors may possibly be onerous and wearing
on the constitution, but the fat and hearty
appearance of Hons. w. II. Leonard and
N. G.. Sawyer, who returned to their con-
etituency during the present week. does not
denote it, on the contrary, if their looks do
not belle them, their four months soiourn at
the Capital has been very beneficial to their
corporal frames. Mr.. Leonard was elected
to the Senate in the Fall of 1868, and has
ably represented US in that body for four
years, OF rather two sessions. he having
drawn the long term, and Mr.. Sheppard, WHO
was elected at the same time, the short one.
During the time that Mr.. Leonard has repre-
sented this county in the Senate, he has
firmly upheld and advocated the principles
of the Union party, never swerving from the
paths of rectitude and right, and has always
been found at his post when duty required.
He has made record of which he may Justly
be proud, and his entire course meets with
the hearty approval of his constituents. Gala
yeras has never had an ADLER representive
than Mr.. Leonard. Mr.. Sawyer was elected
TO the Assembly last Fall, and if a bold and
and fearless advocacy of the right, scathing
'denunciation of wrong, firm and unyielding
devotion to the best interests of the State,
constant and rigid application to business
are qualifications which the people desire
their representatives to possess, then Mr..
Sawyer has fully met the wishes of his con-
stituents. He introduced several important
measures during the session, the greater por-
tion of which became laws. By his untirins
industry and energy he acquired an infu-
ence second to none and before the session
was half completed, ranked among the ablest
members of the House. During the short
time which he has represented this county he
has acquired reputation for talent aatterins
in the extreme. Mr.. Sawyer certainly de-
serves the thanks of his constituents.
