moAi correspondent says; can incl.
dent yesterday showed tho absolute
inability of tho rOgro to comprehend
the questions which arise. The ayes
and noes had been called, and various
corrections were being made, A mu-
latto, named Mosely, arose aod asked
how hls vote had been recorded. The

had voted. He replied, obviously,

I,OOO Subscribers wanted for
the Conservative.

In Morgan County there is about
1000 Democratic voters. Every one
of these voters desire that the Demo-
cratic organization in this county
should be complete; that every effort
should be made to change the political
status of the county in the coming po.
iiticNl campaign. Experience has
tanght political parties everywhere,
that without an efficient press q politi-
cal Organization cannot bo perfect, and
that the enc effort, of all others, which
politica! party desiring success should
make, IS TO render It's press the ueces-
cary aid to make 1t Efficient Crcula,
tion is the necessary aid which par
tisnns can render paper. ard without
which paper, and consequently the
party, cannot succeed. In Morgan
County there is no good cause why a
Democratic paper should not have an
efficient circulation; there is no good
cause for the Democrats remaining
long in the minority in Morgan County
Let but one half the Democratic voters
of tho county rally to the support oi
their local paper and the reduced ma
jor:ty OF the Radicals hast fall will be
still fErtbcr reduced; "it will bo among
the things that was, but arc not"

Eyes" answered his friend.
"And you've heard of the other one

"And we Republicans have died IN

His friend saw the point and looked
sad.

Health ana Disease.

A London physician remarks -
Health is that condition Of the body
in when all the functions Of hle are
performed harmouiously, with u foel-
ing of well being. Each organ acts
unconsciously; the whole bodily ener-
gies seem to play their part together,
and the union is so complete that we
neither feel nor care " inquire how
the machine works; We are ohly sensi-
bio that rs movements arc simuita-
neous. Every deviation from this
state denotes, in strict language, il not
the actual presence, at least the ap-
proUch Of disease. Thus, when the
food, instead ofbeing digcstod without
consciousness Of the process, causes un-
easiness or pain; when the appetite Is
lost and the sight Of food, instead oi
exciting the 1esile TO eat, induces
| loathiug, or nausea, or vomiting, we
may conclude that disease cXlses, un,
! less we can trace these circumstance
to transient causes, cL the dIscontin
uance Of which they also disappear
when the ordinary bodily cxertions
can not be carried on without weari
ness, langor, or lainting; when :he cir
cuation is hurried; the skin is hot anC
dry; or sweating is excited on the
slightest exercise; whom the breathing
is embarrassed, when there is q sensa
ton Of dizziness, the usual sensibility
being either considerably Diminished
or augmented; the volition impaired
or the mental faculties disturbed, an,
under little or no control, then is dis
case present. 1t is not necessary
however, that all or over many O
these symptoms should exist at th
same time; any one Of them, occurring
and continuing, constitute disease.

Be5- WGnlcrs never will cease. For
sixteen years the French people, per-
haps the most naturally warliko and

globe, have had no other musical out
lot allowed to their feelings than the
pretty air of "Partant pour la Syrie,"
Of Queen Hortense. But, shor: time
since, at the Cirque de lImperatricc a
sudden and Irreslstable demand waF
madc upon the Austrian band playing
there for LA Marsellais," and so wild
and really terrific were the shouts that
the conductor was compelled to yeild

cd tones with indescri0able enthusi,
asm; beating time to the grand rhythm
and shouting aloud in their frantic
delight.

Trial of S.Irratt

WASHINGTON, June Is, 1867.
But little progress was made with the
trial of Surratt to-day. Judge Cartier
who presides at the June term of the
Criminal Court is expected this evening
There Will be question raised at the
opening of the court on Monday as to
whether the jury already sworn is COM
petent to act in the case. The trial, how
ever, will be vigorously prosecuted by the
Government. \ powerful array Of evi-
dence for the prosecution has oeen obtained
and new witnesses are constantly being
brought forward. The Government has
not suffered by the delay in the case. On
the contrary, the counsel for the prosecu-
ton assert that their position has rather
been strengthened by it. Witnesses are
now here who will prove Surratt's pres
ence in Washington on the night of the
assassination. His supposed absence
from the city that night was one of the
strong points upon which the defence re-
lied. 1t is also believed that a chain of
evidence will be established showing JEFF
Davis connection with the plot to murder
President Lincoln. The counsel for the
Government have been very earnest and
industrious in making up the case. While
District Attorney Darlington and Judges
Edwards and PierrepOnt have been repre-
senting the case in court, Hon. John A.
Bingham, of Ohio, and Hon. A. G.. Rid
dell, Of this city, who are retained as as
sistants, have been gathering and arrang-
ing testimony. Valuable assistance has
also been rendered by the Bureau of Mil

Martins great Horse and Cattle Remedy,
the Excelsior OIL:
DIR. MARTIN Few persons have had
larger experience with horses, their dis
eases and treatment, and the various rem
edies offered than myself, and those who
know me will believe me when | say, as
| do most unhesitatingly, that your EX-
celsiOr Oil is the most efficient remedy |
have ever employed. During the last trip
| made with my team one of my horses
received a severe and extensive wound
from a kick Immediately over and down
TO the stitle joint. Desiring to make
point on my route drove two days before
doing anything for his reliet, during which
time his leg became enormously swollen
and so pOwerless he was forced latterly to
drag it after him. | commenced using
the Excelsior Oil, commencing on Satur-
day evening, and on Monday started with
my wagon the swelling and Inflammation,
and all troublesome symptoms removed.
| also with the same medicine healed a
large ulcer on the shoulder of my other
horse in three days, driving him all the
time.
| regard your Excelsior Oil an une-
qualed and invaluable medicine.

The attention of our readers is called to
the political letter of Gen. Longstreet i'm
to-day's Gazette. 1t will strike all as sim
gular that while prominent rebels fully
understand their position and advise sub
mission, Johnson's Attorney General is
doing his best to keep up disorder at the
South, just as Black prostituted the Con-
stitution and laws under Buchanan to
produce and foster rebellion. We think
we never read q piece of greater imbecility
than the last opinion got up to order 10y
Johnson's Attorney General, as a speci-
men of which we give single point. The
act of Congress says that one years resi-
dence shall entitle any one to be register
ed as a voter. Common sense would say
that this meant year Immediately pre-
ceding, yet this learned lawyer" has the
effrontery to say that this year can be
made up in parts, SO that a rebel who was
absent IL months and % days need be
there but one day, or if he resided in either
State thirty years ago he need but return
to entitle him to registration!
