The state rights democrat. [volume] (Albany, Linn County, Oregon) 1865-1900, 1868-08-08

SUIcIDE.--A man by the name of Charles
Krager, living in or near Brownsville, killed
himself last Wednesday morning, by shoot
ing himself through the head. 1t seems he
took an old musket that was in the house,
loaded it heavily, and'being without lock or
stock, he fastened some paper around the
nipple or tOueh-hole Of the gun, partially
filed the paper with powder, then set fire to
it, laid down and placed the muzzle to his
head, and waited TIL the powder took ere
when it went Of. making CHASTITY wound
and killing him instantly. Domestic tIou-
bles are supposed to be the cause of this
bloody deed; he and his wife having sepa-
rated, so We are told, a short time previ-
onslY.
NIGER VS.. CHINANAN.-The chief cook
of Sprenger's Hotel, one day this week, told
the Chinaman dishwasher to do something
for him and the Celestial replied that he
would as soon as he could wash his hands
whereat the cook, niger like, knocked him
down and bruised him up quite badly all
just to show he had little authority. The
City Recorder made the niger "pungle"
quite handsomely.
The sooner the niger and the Chinaman
the sooner ell niggers and all Cinnamon
are granted leave of absence from our State,
the batter it will be both for them and the
whites, We are in favor of some policy that
will exclude them. Oregonians generally
don't want such population.

a@FALLACIES OF THE FACULTY.-THE
stomach is the ruling organ Of the system. If the
digestion is imperfect, every member, every gland,
every muscle, every nerve and fibre Is more or less
out Of order. All the fluids are depraved. The brain
is clouded. The spirits are depressed. All dyspep.
tics know this to be the truth. It is Lot, however,
half the truth. Columns would be required to emu
merate the pains and penalties Of dyspepsia, nor
could any pen do them justice. Tens of thousands
feel them; no man can describe them.
Can they be preventedp Can they be relieved ?
Can they be banished at once and forevera UN.
QUESTIONABLE THEY GAM. No dyspeptic has ever
taken HoSTETTER'S STOMACH BTTTERs in vain
Believe no one who iays the complaint Is incurable
This great vegetable stomachic will eradicate its

", saying, Nothing can be DONE"
The faculty has its falacies. One OF them ts that
indigestion is the most difficult Of all the ordinary
ailments of mankind to combat and subdue. This
is a mistake. Nothing can be easier than to con-
quer 1t if the true specific be administered. This
vegetable combination, which has become famous
throughout the civilized world as HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH BIrTERS, is an tnddote to the disease
which has never been known to fail and fortunately
it is everywhere procurable. IF You wish to fool
with the dyspepsia, try the phsrmacopeia prescrp-
tons. II you want to root 1t out and prevent its
recurrence, take the Bitters daily There is no dis

fatherland song was sung by the Turner sing

also specially addressed the members OF the

Captain Melchers, the president of the club,

since the club had last met, thanked every one
for having kept up 80 we'll the merits OF the
occasion, and hoped that next year the club
would have similar festival under better
circumstances. He alluded to the members

Senator Thurman, orOhio.

The Democrats Of Ohio deserve the
thanks of their compatriots throughout the
Union tor having elected to the responsible
position of United States Senator such a
competent person as Judge Allen G.. Thur
man.. 1t is pre-eminently choice fit to be
made. Acquainted with the duties of leg

Representatives from 1915 to 1S47; the stan

to be the ablest lawyer. in his State
sound upon all questions involving Con-
stitutional rights and privileges and a
man of spotless character. Judge Thur
man will be decided acquisition to the
Senate of the United States. To have Sc
lected one superior to Behjumin F. Wads
was easy. but to elect as his successor one
of the first men -ins Ohio was most COM
mendable. 1t cannot have escaped the no.
tice of the people that the most unworthy
members of the Senate are Republicans.
Such men as Chandler. Wade, -Sprague,
Wilson, Yates, Sumner, Nye. Cameron, and
Brownlow (who will take his seat next
year). reflect only discredit upon the States
which they represent. Happily, the Dem
ocraGs bid fair to have it in their power to
supplant them by wiser and better men,

Ar Che staftordshire (Englandl. .Assizes,

AT the Staffordshire (England)o ,Assizes,
recently, during the hearing of a case. the,
chief witnesses were two young girls,
about IA, years old, and were employed in
canal boats. In lcross-examination they.
both said they could neither read nor write;
they had never been at school, church or
chapel: aud they had never heard of the
Bible. Mr.. Justice Keating, in his sum-
ming up to the jury, thus remarked upon
the subject:-" L cannot help noticing the
most deploraple state of matters shown by
the evidence OF these girls. We call our
selves a Christian people, and pride our
selves upon being civilized nation
These two girls have said they could nei-
ther read nor write; that they had never in
their lives been at school, church or chapel;
that they had never heard of the Bible
and, as the learned counsel had suggested,
in all probability had never heard of a
Divine Being. We send out missionaries
to the heathen, but what avails all this
when we see such state of things at
home?" 90"

State Cen,raI 1yommtt,e...

The Cincinnati Enquirer, in its remarks on
the supersedure. of John G.. Thompson as
Chairman of the Committee, published In
last Saturdays issue. misleads the public
mind as TO the organization of the Commit
tee, and does injustice to the present very
able chairman OF the State Executive Com
mttee.2 EiSOCCE jim A1ASlNaS fAAJ Il
1t is the Executive, and not the State
Central Committee, that does the work. 1t
has not been unfrequently the case that
the Chairman OF the State Central Com
| mittee resided out of Columbus. Within
the last three years the chairman of the
Central Committee resided in Madison
county we. believe while Mr., Thompson
was the Chairman of the Executive Com
mittee and did the work. The Enquirer s
objections to the present organization OF
the committee, therefore, have no force.
The Central Committee appointed an Ex-
ecusive Committee, all the members of
which reside in Columbus, with E. F.
| Bingham, as chairman, and WillOughby
w. Webb, as Secretary.
Both Mr.. Bingham and Mr.. Webb hav e
heretofore acted on the Executive Commit
tee, and thoroughly understand the duties
and requirements of the position. They
have been cOunsellors and advisers of Mr..
Thompson, and assisted to accomplish the
great work alluded to by the Enquirer. :
While we are willing to accord to Mr..
Thompson great praise and honor for the
energetic and efficient manner in which
he performed the dnties of Chairman OF
the Executive Committee, and believe that
he will be held in grateful remembrance by
the Democracy OF Ohio, we are unwilling
to declare it IAN ineXplicable politi-
cal blunder-a mishap to the Or
ganizatiOn," that he should be
superseded by such man as Mr.. Bingham,
whom we regard as one Of the most promis-
ing young men of the State. He Is a man oi
acknow ledged ability. Besides, Mr.. Thomp-
son resides in Columbus, and is too good a
Democrat to withhold from the present
Committee any suggestions or Information
he may have acquired by reason OF his ex-
perience. Nor can we discover the pro-
priety of attempting to discourage the
Democracy of Ohio with their present Com
mittee in advance of the campaign.
From a personal knowledge of the gen.
tlemen composing the Committee we pre-
dict that the coming campaign will be con-
Quoted with more energy, vigor and skill,
than any of its PiQua Demo

Speaker EoIIett.

The friends and constituents of John F
Follett, Esq, will see, with much gratifica.
tion, that be has been chosen the presiding
officer of the lower house of the General
Assembly of Ohio. An election to this po-
sition is ever regarded as distinguished
honor; but in this case the compliment is
rendered more marked by the circumstance
that in the caucus of his party friends it
was conferred not only without op-
position, but by acc!amarion. We
can not recall a similar compliment
paid to h any member of the Legis.
lature in the past history OF the State.L
Speakers have occasionally been .reaomin-
ated without Opposition. but we know of
no former instance where presiding Off.
Ger, serving in that position for the first
time, was selected for that honor by the
unanimous voice OF his friends. In Mr..
Follett's case, the value of the compliment
is still further enhanced by, the fact chat so
large portion of the gentlemen who con-
ferred it, had been his associates and fell
low members during the two years of his
previous service as Representative
Ne,oark American. n .ss-l a. a. ~ r e
