(From the Nashville Press & Times.)
BY their own objectionable folly the Re
publicans of California have lost their Gov
crnor and possibly the next Legislature and
United States Senator. Let us look at this
deIllorabls result-not unexpected by intelli-
gent observers and ascertain why ii is that
the Democracy have carried California Cal
iiornia who was gloriously faithful to the
Union throughout the war, and true to Radi-
cal Republican principles ever since up 10
the recent election. The history of the case
is this. The Republican party in that State
had become so strong that its nominations
were equivalent TO elections. 1t was deemed
invincble. A lot of political tricksters and
bummers. utterly worthless In every respect,
determined 10 run the party for their own
benefit. apd formed II stock,jobbing ring for
the purpose of choking off all outside candi
dates, and putting their own men in nomi
nation. The bummers were out in force,
and carried the conventions, for they had
nothing else to do. Gorham, worthless
waif was put up for Governor. The swim
die was palpable and obvious, and large
portion of the decent Republicans deter
mined that they would not be sold in
manner 10 the bummers.
Gorham is badly beaten, when there woulA
have been no difficulty in electing n good
Republican by majority OF many thou
sands. California is a Republican State to-
day She is loyal and true to the Union
and TO Radical principles. But her people
are determined not be ridden by ring of
soulless political tricksters. We hope that
this lesson-a very bitter one-will not be
lost by the Republicans through the land.
We must nominate our safest, best and
truest men for office. If the people fold
their arms in idleness and allow mere trick
stcrs to rule their conventions, the party
must suffer for it. Remember California.

WILMINGTON, SEPTEMBER

nected with so many wretchcd memories
NIiliccnt Forester, who was staying II
NIcthlcy Towers, had driven over with hc
two children to see Pennies baby, and thu
two friends sat out under the verandah, In
the rare pleasant warmth of Il Saint Martins
summer noon, watching the work.
The little Forreslers were on the lawn
with their nurse, assisting in high glee al
the operations Of the woodman, and shrick-
ing with excitement and delight at each chop
of the axe. Mr.. Tindal was standing by
with Cole and Mr.. Fcathcrstonc, and as the
last heavy, black mass heaved, and fell prone,
to the earth, he waved his hand galy to his
wife, and then walked up to where she sat
with Milliccnt Forester.
8 saw 1t ull in dream before we were
married, Arthur. l saw ii all in dream
before we were married, exclaimed Pennie,
going forward to meet him.
q You dear little superstitious goocs."
"1f you do not believe me, ask my mother,
to whom | told it,"
Pennie always believed in her dream her.
sclf-bclieves in it to this day.
There is little more to be said The 'sNor-
minister Gazette took up the story OF Hugh
Tindals death, where il had been left of.
and finished IL with II wordy narrative of
Pierces arrest and confession, and of the
finding of the pistol. 1t protested to sec
some unsatisfactory doubts and difficulties
about the case still, but one or two sharp
letters from Eskdale correspondents brought
the sagacious editor to better comprchcn-
sion. He then made the anende honorot-
Ole to Mr.. Tindal, and sternly, as public
censor ought, blamed the dull, unenergetc
rural magistracy for not sooner discerning
the real author OF the crime, and exoncrat-
ing the unfortunate master of Rood.
The majority of Mr.. Tindal's friends and
acquaintance declared that they had ai,Odys
suspected Pierce could have spoken if he
Woutd. Still, however, they felt a natural
glow of generous pleasure in the thought
that they had acquitted their brother squire
before he was cleared Mrs. Croft cried
for joy and tliankfulncss whenever she re-
Cured to the event, and Mrs. Lister was
glad OF it, for the credit Of the family. In
the life at the Abbey it made no difference.
Only into Pennies heart il shed a fuller
sense of satisfaction and repose. As for Mr..
Tindal,it appeared to affect and interest him
the least Of anybody.

Reconstruction.

The Washington Star says :-'. Events are
showing that, though Mr.. johnson is able
to keep the country in turmoil, and thus
grieyously injure all business interests in all
sections, he is unable to interfere seriously
with the practical working of the Recon-
strucion laws.
General Schoield has ordered the election
for members of the Constitutional Convcn-
ton of Virginia TO take place at the earliest
moment the existing law and general orders
will permit, regardless Of the Presidents
published request that the several military
district commanders will reopen the regis
tration. This fact is significant, as show
ing how little, practically, the President is
accomplishing in the matter of obsiruciing
reconstruction under the laws of Congress.

received with great cordiality, and were not

Josh Billings, ..a on swine.

Hogs generally are quadripid.
The extreme length ov their antiquity
has never been fully discovered; they
existed n long time before the flood, and
and hev existed a long time since.
There IL a CRATE deal ov internal row
enew in a hog; there amt much more
waste in them than there isinan oyster.
Even their tails can be worked up in
to whissels.
Hogs are good, quiet boardcrs: they
alwuz eat what IL set before them, and
don't ask eny foolish questions.
They hev eny diseaze hut the
meazesls, and they never hev that but
once; once seems TO satisfy them.
There il a crate menny breeds among
them.
Some are q close corporation breed,
and some are bilt more apart, like .
hemlock slab.
They use to hcr a breed in New En-
gland a few years ago which theyicalled
the striped hog breed; this breed was in
high repute among the landlords; al
most every tavern-keeper had one, which
he use tew show tew travellers, and brag
on him.
Some are full in the face, like a town
clock, and some are as long and lean as
acow-catcher, with n steal-pinted nose
on them.
They kan awl rute well: a hog that
kant rute well haz been made in vain.
They are a short-lived animal, and
generally die as soon as they git fatt.
The hog cen be lernt a great NANNY
cunning things, such as histing the
front gate off the hinges, tipping over
the swill barrels, and finding a hole in
the fence tew git into a cornfield; but
thare amt emmy length to their memo
~; it IL awful hard for them tew find
the same hole tew git out at, especially
if You are at all anxious they should.
Hogs are very contrary, and seldom
drive well the same way VII are going;
they drive most the other way; this haz
never bin fully explained, but speaks
volumes for the hog.

but powerful remedy. His health was restored
in a very short time, and no return of the dis.
ease has been apprehended, for all the symptoms
quickly disappeared, and his present weight If
more than two hundred pounds.
Since his recovery. he has devoted his atterl.
ton exclusively to the cure of Consumption and
the diseases which are usually complicated with
it, and the cures effected by his medicines have
been very numerous and truly wonderful. Dr.
ScHESCx makes professional visits to several o!
the larger cities weekly, where he has q large
concourse of patients, and It is truly astonishing
to see poor c~onsumptivcs that have to be lifted

The singing commenced but the keys OF
the organ responded with the most fear

cats strung across a clothes line would
be lovely in comparison. Some one had
been ~tampering with the instrument,
and the organist at once charged it to a
chap who had played the same joke up
on him a few months before. Like the
minister, however, who swore he could

organist swears he can lick the fellow
who put bran in his instrument and he
will probably do it.

HabituaI Constipation.
HOW TO EFFECT A CERTAIN AND Pc
MlNFNT GURE.

hun ~ LETES1
MANENT CURE.
Some occupations of life predispose to ~costive-
ness, especially those which allow but little eI'
ercise. Persons who contract this unfortunate
habit Of body, under such circumstances, might
possibly be relieved by changing their sedenta'
~ employments for others Of . more active kind;
but this IL by no means certain. Habitual con-
situation is a very obstinate disorder. All the
ordinary s~o-called remedies invariably aggrs.
vate it. Nothing can be more injurious than
the continued use of strong aperients. They at
first ~irritate, and finally almost paralyze the
Notwithstanding them so torpid that enormous
doses Of cathartic medicines have no effect upon
them. A mild a%pericnt, combined with q gem
tie stimulant, is the true remedy; and . cembl'
nation in the happiest proportion Of these In
gradients Is found in HosTErTERs STOMACH BIT
whole intestinal canal, while quietly removing
from its convolutions all impcdinents to a free
passage through them. No mere purgative has
this double operation. No ordinary stimulant
effects the desired object. Cases Of c0nstipa.
ton abandoned az hopeless by distinguished
medical men have been cured in q few weeks by
the Bitters. To those who have tried al the
medicines of the dispensary In vain, we say try
this irresistible stimulant and a~perient. There
il no sufficient reason why Constipation should
be the consequence Of sedentary habits. Hos
