The New York Times specializing
upon the next Democratic candidate
for the Presidency, remarks: A for
General Mcclellan, We cannot see that
I.s Haas been strengthened al all by his
aDsenUs from Ihe country ever since mis-
defeat III the last Presidential election
IL VIII not avail him anything to come
hack uucominilted on any Of the ques-
Hons OF the hour. We cannot see that
it viii help him to keep quiet until the
time FOR the nomination. But there
ara others, and those Of his own party,
who think differently on snese points.
Doubtless those who have him in
training fancy that the course they
have kept him on thus far is that which
viii secure at least his success in being
uominated; and they even imagine that
by judlciousIy keeping him from OBJ
trud!ng himself before the public until
the time for decision arrives, they will
al last succeed In bringing MIN forward
in q style calculated TO astonish the be-
hclderz. All this Is something more
than doubtful. These are not times
for such maumuvriug or such men;
and though there are certain special
frIsuds OF Little Mac who are very
sn,,gline of his Presidential prospects
IN anew trial for success, we cannot
sec that the feelings Of the party, or the
circumstances OF the country are such
,s 10 1--WE any sort OF basis Tor their
rather stilted enthusiasm.
W. do not suppose the Democracyare
likely 10 take advice as 10 whom they
F,u
uai that with General Grant We can
beat uny possible Democratic candidate
So badly u- almost TO deprive the cleo
lion of The character Of Il contest. In
I'M, re.psct, and on this condition, il
rsuily makes LILLE uuds to Us, or even
10 hem, who may be their nominee:
But sill, ON many accounts, we should
like to see them have candidate cal
cuIattd to damage the country and lis
great interests as little az possible
PerwCcn Pendlc!on and Seymour,
therefore, it is not the former whom We
MIGHT desire to see them nominate.
PeuGleluu, on the financial question:
has undertaken TO assault the honor
OF M nation, and a Presidential cam
paisIl, conducted on his principles,
would demOrnliZe the people TO an eG-
tent that we would not attempt 10 esti-
mate I'LL the campaign WAS over
Governor Seymour, on the other hand,
has expressed tolerably sound views
on this vital matter; and were there
nothing else TO lead Us to prefer hin AS
the candidate OF our opponents, this
alone would be conclusive in his favor,
even though he might take more votes
from us Than Pendleton would take.
And we have no doubt that this view
of the case will be sustained by nearly
ali the influential Democrats on this
side of the Allegheny mountains.

StttuIe for CaIOmcI

These Pills are composed of variSus roots,
having the power to relax the seCretions OF
the liver as promptly and effectually as blue
pills or mercury, and without producing any
OF those disagTeeable dangerous effects
which often follow the use OF the latter.
In all bilious disorders these Pills may be
used with confidence, as they promote The
discharge of vitiated bile. and remove those
distractions from the liver and hillary ducts,
which are the cause OF bilious affections in

Indicated by ssillow skin, coated tongue, COS
tiveneSs, drowslneSs, and a general feeling of

SOME Of the Eastern papers are full
ola sentimental account OF an inter
view between Fanny Wright, a muir
deress, and her brother, respectable
young man of Poughkeepsie. Minute
details of her sayings and doings, and
of the state OF her nerves, are also
given. This sort OF thing is wrong; the
notoriety OF shame makes murderers.
In saxony, where the number of sui
cides is enormous, the authorities state
that tho perpetrators are mostly SER
want girls, who make way with them
selves Tor scarcely any cause, merely
because their minds are worked up to
IL nv reading the minute details ofsome
poor wratch's death in the newspapers.
Only The notoriety strikes some weak
minds, and the horrible reality OF
crime aud punishment is recognized by
them only when it is too late. An eS-
massive account is probably necessary
for IA newspaper when II crime is com
miIted, but these JenlSinisms OF the Jail

THEY are having neat little quarrel
in Sew York, between the Irregular"
physicians and the homeopathists,
arising out OF the fact that one of the
former school had held consultation
with noted phycian of the latter.
The offending physician, DR.. a. *.
Gardner, was brought before the Acad-
envy Of Medicine, and on trial, sus-
pended from the Society. DR.. Gardner,
when arruigued, did not deny the fact OF
such consultations, but alleged that
Dr. Bartlett, although homeopathist,
WAS II graduate of a,"rcgular" college,
was physician of long practice, and
was, more over, his Intimate friend.
That argument awaited nothing, how
ever. We can only remark with the
exchange from which we clip the item,
that, while IL is an open question alike
with the public and profession which
is right and which is wrong, IL is indeed
pititul to see gentlemen OF. refinement
and education allowing their preju-
dices to carry them TO such an extent.
