Much sickness, undoubtedly, with children and
adults, attributed to other causes, is oceasioned
by worms. The "Vermifuge Comfts," al

Children having Worms require immediate at

GRAND EPOCH IN MEDICINE.

DR.. Maggiel is the founder of a new medical
system. The quantitarians whose vast internal
doses enfeeble the stomach and paralyze the bow
els and with whose external remedies the ulcerat-
ed and eruptive surfaces of the skin are deluged
In vain must give place to the man who restores
his health and appetite with from one to three
harmless pills, and cures the most virulent and
scrofulous disorders with from one to three bexes
of his matchless salve.
DIR. Maggiel's Pills and Salve have ushered in
a new medical era. No more nauseating avalan-
ches of drastic drugs need be poured down sick
peoples threats. One of Maggiels Pills rectiies
the disordered condition of the stomach and liver
cleanses the head and restores the nerves il q
space of time short enough to be almost classed
as marvellous.
In fact Maggiers Bilious. Dyspeptic and Diarr-
hea Pills cure where all others fail. While for
Burns, Scalds, Chilblains Cuts and all abrassions
of the skin, MaggiePs Salve is infallible.

in few hours the pain and swelling sensibly aba

"DECIDEDLY CoOL."-Under this caption
the Union charges the rejected soldiers for
postmaster of this city, with having written
the brief allusion to their military history,
published in connection with large number
of others, in the ARGUS. This charge is
simply bald, bare-faced assumption which
does no credit to the writer in the Union-
The brief illusions in question were secured
by examining the official records On file in
Washington. They were prepared at the
instance of the Postmaster General, from of,
fetal sources. Those who appear in the
record had no more to do with compiling it
than the editor of the Union
We also admire candid articles, free from
egotism, and which give evidence of modesty
For an article of this character attention is
directed to "The Fashions" published parallel
with, and in the same number of the paper
in which appears the gross and vulgar at
tack upon the three brave soldiers who were
rejected for postmaster of this city.

convention Of Di..a.IsfIed Republicans.

Convention of Dissatisfied Republicans.
We have already referred to the disaffec-
ton in the republican ranks in California,
growing out of the nomination of George G.
Gorham for Governor, and the nomination
of one or two other bad men for State Offices
The ablest republican papers in the State,
including the San Francisco Bultetin and
Call, and the Sacramento Union and Bee,
are out in support Of what the regulars term
the Boilers ticket. A dispatch to the
Oreoonian furnishes the proceedings of the
Convention, which was held at Sacramento
on the 10th instant, for The purpose of re-
vising the ticket and bringing out new men in
place of the Objectionable candidates. Four
teen counties were represented by l12 dole>
gates. The following order of. business was
adopted:
lst. Revision of nominees for State officers.
I'd. Report of Committee on Resolutions.
Sd. Appointment of State Central Committee
Unanimously adopted.
On motion of Mr.. Wade, of San Francisco,
and seconded by Mr.. Swift, of Sacramento, it
was unanimously resolved that this Convention
does heartily endorse and will cordially support
all the nominees of the late Convention, exceptS
ing those for Governor, Secretary of State, Comp
troller and State Printer.
Notice was given of a caucus in the evening
Adjourned till o'clock, A. NJ, to-day.
The Convention met at Q. 9.45, A. N. The Vice
Presidents took their places.
Eaty III 10 6 - II K;olr
ing of delegates last evening" was authorized to
offer the following resolutions
ResOLUed That we place in nomination for the
Office of Governor, Hon, John Bidweil, Of Butte
county, the undoubted choice of the majority of
the Union party, majority Of the delegates of
the Union State Convention, and the unanimous
choice of the Convention, believing that be will
be triumphantly elected by the people, and also
believing that if elected be will not only serve
in accordance with his public declarations, but
will discharge the duties of the Office With honor
to bimself and with fidelity to the people, and to
the advancement of the financial interests of the
State.
Mr.. Nickerson, of San Francisco, said Doubt
had been iutimated whether Bidwell would ac-
cept the nomination; that be was so bound by
his candidacy before the other Convention that
he could not accept and must decline. He pro-
tested against the view. He is bound by his
letters to accept the nomination if rendered him
by the people. We speak their voice. lie can
not disregard it, or refuse our nomination. Bid
well was then declared the nominee by acclama-
tion.
The resolutions adopted are similar to those
passed by the regular Union State Convention
Among them is the following:
ResolUed, That we are in favor of impartial
suffrage without distinction of color.
J. G. McCallum, of Sacramento, was nomina.
ted for Secretary of State William Jones, of
Eldorado, for Controller, and Z. G. Jeffries, OF
Sacramento, for State Printer.
