INDIAN Tox.-This outlaw, who escaped
from jail some time ago, is still at large, and
all efforts to recapture him have 50 faI
proved abortive. His rendezvous is in the
vicinity Of Flat Creek, and he sometimes
makes nocturnal visits TO this place, but the
members Of his tribe take good care that he
is not exposed to arrest, although they assure
the officers that they are anxious to have him
taken. Inasmuch as this barbarian has re-
peatedly threatened TO murder a number of
citizens and FIRE the town, his death has be
come a kind of public necessity, and the In
dian vagabonds who are acquainted with his
hiding-places should be compelled to arrest
him and deliver him into the custody of the
Sheriff, on pain of determination in case of
refusal. The idea that a Digger cut-throat
should be permitted to defy a whole commu.
nifty is simply ridiculous, and is disgrace
TO any community that will submit to it.
AFTER HIx. Matthew Canavan, one of

up the ring of corruptionists who now con-
troll the municipal affairs of San Francisco. is
having rough time of it. One Columbus
Sims, high toned Southern chiv., attempted
to spit in Canavan's face while the Board
was in session, because he refused to vote as
Sims desired, and day or two after wards
Cavalier, member of the ring, challenged
Canavan to fight duel. Doubtless thinking
that it was better to take up arms against
this sea Of troubles, and by opposing end
them, Canavan accepted the challenge
Alarmed at the prospect of getting hurt, the
chiyalric Cavalier withdrew his challenge ,and
MS Sims has been sentenced to IS days i'm.

the situation.

More Causes of Blood Poison.

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 ad-
monished of the superior advantages of BRAND
RErH's PILLS. For if the blood goes too fast, from
other causes, they allay the turmoil and
are healing balm to the brain. While, should the
blood circulate too slowly, tinting the skin with
dark hue, they at relieve the blood Of its ex-
cess of carbon; thus they relieve the mind and re-
store the health. Should an organ be weaker than
the rest, these impure matters from the blood VIII
be deposited. This is the way Jumps, beils, tumors'
carbunclss, are produced. All are cured, often
prevented, by the of BRANsRETH's Pills

The Church of Spain has been in SO
close alliance with the despotic Govern
ment that it could expect no favors from
the successful revolution. The Provis

The fanaticism of the Spanish Church,
which would not allow the Professionals

their children as Protesfants, or even to
read q Protestant book has always met
with the decided disapproval of the lib

The Democratic orators are making

The Democratic orators are making
a tremendous cutlery about heavy and
unequal taxation They coolly ignore
the fact that the heavy debt under
which the country is groaning, was en-
tirely contracted in the gl"rious work
of saving the Union, which Democrats
and none but Democrats were seeking
to destroy. Livery Senator and Repre-
sentative who vacated their seats in
Congress to initiate the rebellion was a
Democrat, and the Governors of every
State that seeded were of the same po-
itical stripe, and even these would not
have ventured ON the desperate step
had they not been promised aid oy
their allies the Northern Democrats. -
TO meet this burden it is true taxes are
levied, but nine-tenths of it IS laid up
on articles that are not necessarles of
life. but articles the total abstinence
from which, would be a benefit to all
mankind, viz whiskey and tobacco. -
Nothing that is manufactured is taxed
to-day except spirituous liquors. fer
mented liquors, manufactured tohac-
COS, playing cards, matches, gas, per
fumery and patent medicines. A Re
publican Congress has taken off entire
" the tax upon over ten Thousand arti
cles. The very men who are shrieking
the loudest over our taxes, and making
speeches full OF the grossest misstate-
ments and complaining that they are
ruined, are paying little or no tax.
Governor Church of New York has re-
Gently made speech on the finances,
that the Democratic press pronounce
the ablest and most statesmanlike of
the campaign. He says in that speech
that over $500, 600, 900 were received in
to the Treasury last year. The official
statement of the Secretary of the Urea
sury places it at S400,000,000. This is
but sample of the gross misrepresen-
tations INDUCED in by Democratic ora
tors ind the Democratic press. And
how much is this prince of fnanciers
Governor Church ruined by taxation
in year. Why an examination of the
assessors books in the district in which
he resides, and where all his property
is, Ia magnificent farm included in it,
shows that he paid the United States
last year the enormous tax of Two
DOLLARS that being charged to him
on two gold watches. This campaign
has produced class of mathematicians
such as the world never saw before
Their manipulation of figures is GER
tainly amusing if not instructive. They
possess an astounding talent for making
the less the greater number. Ever
since the elections in Vermont, Maine
and Connecticut they have been fgur-
ing industriously, and prove, to their
own apparent satisfaction, that the
Democracy achieved a glorious victory
in each of those States. And so too in
all their insane talk about taxation and
the debt. Utterly INSCRIPTIONS they
imagine that they can by their misre-
presentations and fabrications, delude
the people into restoring them to pow
er. But they will signally fail. The
people know upon whom is chargeable
the creation of the debt, and we think
they will hesitate long, before they will
trust with the custody Of the finances of
the country, party that openly advo-

Republicans The echoes Of Yer
mont and Maine have reverberated
through Pennsylvania, Ohio and Indi-
ana, and the great contest III which our
triumph is 50 nobly foreshadowed is
drawing to u close. The campaign
wherein great labor has been done APP
proacles its successful issue, and dis
cussion is to yield to action. The
grounds of difference are simple, yet
the result is freighted with the most
potent consequences. One the one side
is the Democratic party arlayed with
hostility as bitter as it is unscrupa-
lous against the vital essense Of true
Republicanism. On the other side is
our own Republican party pointing
proudly to the years in which it sus-
tanned the integrity and unity of our
nation, and claiming simply continued
power to restore it on basis of COM
plete confidence and prosperity. TIE
one receives its widest support from
those men who fought for four years to
accomplish our destruction the other

rest they enjoy among the good and
faithful, and those who still remain

Republican party. The time is still
fresh in memory that saw under our

rode the sea, marching its columns and
laundering its broadsides on to victory
In our ranks to-day may be found that
