Defeated aud Politically Dead.

As we predicted when his nomination was
first announced, Chancellor Harrison has been
defeated for Congress. and, with the possible
exception of John Bidwell, is the deadest
man. politically, In the State. Common
sense should have prevented the Union party
from attempting to carry this obnoxious spe
cimen Of mental and moral mediocrity through
the late campaign No other man but Hart
son could have had the cheek and impadence
to contend for second nomination after
having been once beaten by such nonentity
as johnson. But puffed up with self-impor-
tance and conceit, and blind to his own in
significance and imbecility, he thrust him.
SELF by the aid of his wealth, upon the
nominating Convention, which unfortunately
submitted to his dctation. The delegations
which backed him the strongest represented
counties which always give Democratic ma
jorities, and consequently the least entitled
to sway the Convention. In order to secure
these delegations, he resorted to low SANDER
ing and underhahded wire-pulling against
his more honorable and high-minded oppo-
nent, Westmoreland In the Convention be
had the impudence to boast that he would
use his money to secure an election, thereby
showing in what poor estimation he held the
honesty and intelligence of the people. Dur
ing the campaign he failed to visit the coun
ties in the northern part of the district, and
did not possess the tact and ability to expose
the rascalities of the McGarrahan land bill
originated by Johnson He also illustrated
the natural littleness of his nature by trying
to induce the State Central Committee tc
prohibit George c. Gorham from taking any
part in tbs canvass. According to his exalted
judgment the canvass should have been con
Quoted by such luminous and powerful ora
tors as himself and General Bidwell, pair
befre whom the eloquence of Demosthenes
and Cicero sinks into insignifcance.
But the mischief is now done and beyond
recall, and johnson, a fossilized specimen of
a decaying organization, will 60 to Washing
ton aud misrepresent district containing a
majority of Republican property owners and
voters The result will, however. teach our
party useful lesson as to the propriety Of
selecting able and decent nominees hereafter,
and will also convince politicians that no
matter how potent money and cheek may be
in securing nominations, these agencies can
not insure the support of the people.

OFFICIAL VoTE.-It is announced by the
Democratic papers that the Democratic State
Central Committee will attend at Sacramento
for the purpose of contesting the State cleo
ton, OH the ground of frauds in Santa Cruz,
Contra Costa and Placer counties. This is
simply absurd. There is no competent Court
at Sacramento to which the Committee can
appeal. The votes of the counties are certi-
fed by the different County Clerks to the
Secretary of State, who has no discretion or
legal power to hear complaints of fraud, or
alter single vote, The law reads: ''On
the Monday before the first Wednesday of
December, 9th Of December this year, or SO
son as the returns have been received from
all the counties of the State, if received before
that day, the Secretary of State shall CON-
pare aud estimate the vote given for electors,
and certify to the Governor the names of the
proper number of persons having the highest
number of votes.n Now, the Secretary of
State has no more power authority to en-
tertain questions of fraud, or alter single
vote returned, than the County Clerks have
in the several counties

Excessive labor or undue excitement sometimes
occasion serious sickness by causing accelerated
motion to the blood. Grief, fear-and anxiety hurt
by making the blood to circulate slower. Both
causes may produce serious evils to the health
unless prevented by timely aid. Here we are adj
monished of the superior advantages of BRAND
RETH's PILLS. For if the blood goes too fast from
nervous or other causes they allay the turmoil and
are healing balm to the brain. While, should the
blood circulate t3o slowly, tinting the skin with
dark hue, they at once relieve the blood of its ex
cess of carbon; thus they relieve the mind and re-
store the health. Should organ be weaker than
the rest these impure matters from the blood will
be deposited. This is the way Jumps, boils tumors.
carbuncles, are produced All cured, often
prevented, by the use of BRAN pRETH's Pills.

ALL BLow.-The Democratic shriekers
have made great blow and noise about
there having been more votes cast in Contra
Costa county than were names on the Great
Register, and declare their intention of con:
testing the State election on that account
Now, the truth is simply this Over jealous
Democrats read the official count of the vote
Of Contra Costa, and then referred to the
printed Register of the county and found that
the vote exceeded the number of names ap-
pearing on the Register On the strength of
this they raised the cry of 8 fraud y but if
they had taken the precaution Of examining
the Great Register in the Clerks Office they
would have found that number of names
bad been legally entered upon that document
after the Register was printed. The cry of
" fraud in Contra Costa is all bosh.
