so as to make it contribute to TIN
commerce and increase the wealth 0
the capital and the State. The vot,
was, by large majority, in favor o
the project; there was not only ;
large majority of colorea voters tina
way, but also majority of all tn
whites who voted on the question
The matter was thus legally and fair
ly settled; but since then some of the
opponents Of the subscription hav,
raised a question as to the legality
or p-opriety of 'niggers" doif & any
thing to increase the prosperity anC
property Of the late Confederate
Capital. To crafty these grumblers
Gen Schofield permitted new elec,
ton, in which not only all those en-,
titled to vote by registration under
the Reconstruction acts may take
part, but also al others entitled tC
vote under the laws of Virginia
This seems TO be an unnecessary
concession but it may be as well to
humor the Chivalry. When, ten
years ago, they elected members to
the National Congress, they count,
every five negroes, old and young,
male and female, as equal to three
white persons, and 50 gave them a
powerful share in representation; yet
we never heard that any member of
the first families complained of ne
gro influence. The difference now is
merely that the negro casts bis own
vote, while heretofore his master
voted for him. If the Chivalry now
choose to strangle their dead and
alive City rather than bayc it en-
riched by the result of colored votes,
we do not believe anyone will shed
tears for them.

tive and most valuable medicine. In the
neghborhood OF Lowell, Doct. J. c. Aver Co.,
have planted fields oft, where they raise many
tons at a crop. 1t is grown like the carrot or
beet, in drills, and its quality or properties have
been much improved by cultivation. 1t is one
of the ingredients in AYERS SARsAPARILLA, and
we are informed, the extraordinary virtues OF
this preparation are largely due to the extract Of
this root that it contains. The iSarsaparilla root
used by this firm. is grown on plantations OF their

for the universally acknowledged superiority Of

MEDICAL ADVICE-Dr. VIM. X. Doherty's
Medical and Surgical Institute is becoming sine
qua non to the welfare of our State and health
OF our citizens; and his rapidly spreading repua-
ton, although it may excite surprise, is but the
signal of skill and follows as the natural effect
of such a cause. We are personally acquainted
with gentlemen who had suffered for years under
chronic disease, and who had taken advantage of
every available means that promised relief, but
without success, until they called upon DR.. Do
herty, who in an incredibly short space of time,
has given them entire relief. 1t is gratifying to
announce this fact, because the Doctor is a gen.
tlcman who seeks, not by defamation Of others.
to establish his reputation, or to rear the super
structure of his own upon the ruin of another's
fame The Doctor conducts his Institute in snch
manner that must be gratifying to all his pa
tients. 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 cure This he is ablc
to do, because he feels the confidence which long
experience has given, and no doubt the consola.
tiOn which appertains to that confidence. Per.
sons afflicted with either acute chronic disease
would do we'll to consult the Doctor; at all events
it can do no harm, rs for consultation he asks no
fee; nor does he insist on obedience 10 his advice
unless the patient places himself under his care.
His offices are on Sacramento street, opposite the
Pacific Mail Steamship Offices. f. News

How TO GET AN EDUCATION.-Boys
say to men, ave want an education |;
but we are poor, and father is poor, and
we can't get it, so we are going to learn
a trade, or 60 into store or do something
else." Now every boy that wants an
education, ifhe will bend his force to it,
can get Just as good a one as he wants.
The way is open. Education does not
come through academies, and colleges,
and seminaries, these are helps; but it
comes by study, and reading, and COM
pairing, and all the schools, colleges, and
seminaries in the world will not make a
scholar of a man without these; and NTH
them man will be one If he never sees
a college. And what is true of boys is
true of girls; and what is true ofthis pnr-
suit is true of any other. The force must
be in yourself, and you must develop 1t.
1t is that indomitable can that sets .
man astride the world.
