Electoral College, for the choice of President
and Vice President of the United States, nor

Acts of Congress in that behalf, shall have
since the 4th day of March, 1867, adopted a
Constitution Of State Governm ant under which
a State Government shall have been organiz-
c and shall be in operation, and unless such
elections shall have been held under the
authority of such Constitution and Govern
ne ut, and such State shall have also become

suant to the Acts of Congress in that behalf:
provided that nothing herein contained shall
be construed to apply to any State which
was represented in Congress on the 4th of
March, 1867.

PLANTATION BITTERS.

This splendid Tonic is now used by all classe:
of people for every symptom of Stomach out
of order"
The secret Of it is this: Plantation Bitters are
certain to correct the juices of the Stomach, set all
its machinery at work. and enable it to resist and
throw off the approaching danger. The tendency
of the operations of Nature is always towards
cure all she needs is little assistance at the
proper time. How much more reasonable and
sensible it is to help her along with gentle, vel
powerful Tonic, than to deluge and weaken and
defeat her curative processes with poisonous drugs
and fiery mixtures, which only stupefy and plant
the seeds of disease and death.

THE BIG SNAKE CAPTURED-A DEscRIP-
TIoN OF HIM-Informatio of reliable char
acter reached the city yesterday of the GER
tain destruction of the big snake which has
been the source of so much fear and fun in
the neighborhood of Triune. lie was discov-
cred Monday last by couple of young
men who were out hunting him. They were
armed with muskcts, and soon as they got
n glimpse OF the monster they commenced a
lively attack on his vitality. It was necessary
to shoot him eight or ten times before he was
finally dispatched. A note from friend de-
scribing the occurrence says the snake is err
tainlv the largest one ever seen in this
country, being 294 feet in length by actual
measurement. The young men who killed him
are preparing the body for exhibition. His
greatest circumference was 30J inches and
he was Just 7iiuehes around the neck. or rath-
cr behind e.head. About 10 feet of his tail
had spinous ridge like that of an alligator.
His head was the most formidable part about
him. and was truly terrible to behold even
when dead. 1t was fully 20 inches across and
was armed with the most formidable set of
sharp small teeth, with four tusks 1t had a
hole in it just under the right eye, from the
Minnie ball, and dent in the neck from
the gancing ball of Mr.. Irvine Although
he seemed at short distance to be of uni
form dark color, on close inspection | dis.
covered he was spotted like rattlesnake in
diamond spots, and his belly was of a bright
blush black color. We cut him across the
middle, land skinned him both ways, thus pre-
serving the head whole. 1t was then saited
and lined. and the ends were well sewed to-
gether, and then by inserting Mr.. Simpson s
bellows, we inflated the monster to its full
size NdshrHe Gazette

er scholars, according to custom Of that insti
tuition. He endured good deal without re-
sentiment, until one day, being on mock pa
rade, be was insulted by the captain of the
company, when he stepped from the ranks,
threw of his jacket, and challenged the cap
tain to fight. Abbott tells the story as follows:
Such challenge could not be declined !;
all the company looked eagerly on /: the cap
tain soon succumbed beneath the sturdy and
swift telling blows of Grant. and cried for
quarter. lie had been very soundly whipped
before his pride would permit him to yield.
The young champion not at all fatigued,
and showing no excitement over his victory.
turned to the Lieutenant, and said very
blandly to him:
1t is now, Lieutenant your turn. Per-
haps you would like to try to revenge the cap
tain. shall be happy to meet you"
The Lieutenant, who had taken an active
part in the insolent joke upon the young ca
det, could not in honor refuse. To have shown
a towards discretion would have exposed him
to the endless jeers of his comrades. Grant
made short work with him and gave him
very thorough thrashing.
He then, with apparently as much cOmpos-
ure as if he had simply attended to ordinary
duties, turned to his companions ii line and
said
Who comes next? l want peace, but
am willing to fight the whole company, one
by one, if that is necessary to gain peace" :"
His comrades now greeted him with three
enthusiastic cheers. They came forward tu-
multuously and shook him by the hand, de-
claring that one possessed of so much pluck
should no longer be subject to their annoy
ance. 1t was in reference to this offer to
fight the whole company that he received the
nickname of Company Grant" This name
he retained until on a memorable occasion he
changed it for q Unconditional Surrender

The recent rise in gold has been attri-
buted, by partisaa effrontery. to the prob
abilities Of fresh revolution to be inau-

it have been attributed to the Radical at
tempt TO arm the negroes of the South,
and to distribute arms among the " loyal''
Of the North, with Interior purposes of
bloody revolution. 1t is more probable,
however, that the rise was occasioned by
the immense drain upon the country to
meet the balance of trade, which is very
heavy against us; for we have little else
beside coin. now. to pay our balance in
Europe with. The great staples of cot

be exported in such quantities from the
South, are no longer produced in quanti-
ties sufficient to meet our liabilities abroad
while the cereals are produced at SO high

CENTRAL PARK.-Central Park contains
not far from one thousand acres of land,
and is called by this name from its central
position on Manhattan Island, which is
really the city of New York. 1t is, by far,
the largest and most perfect park in this
country and while there are parks in Eu-
rope with larger area, and finer attractions
in the way Of foliage and natural curiosi-
ties, all persons conccde that there is no.
where in the world more enjoyable place
of public resort. For the short period
which has elapsed since the first stone was
laid in any of the numerous bridges, ed
i6ces and walls with which the park
abounds. its perfection in all the elements
of a pleasure ground for the people is a
matter of universal surprise. There are
some ten miles of superb driving road,
with equestrians and pedestrians almost
without extent. The surface is charmingly
irregular, giving all varieties of landscape
including hills, valleys, rocks, lakes,
streams, waterfalls, fountains. grottoes,
caves, lawns, woods, etc. etc.

"The War between the States, its Causes
ander H. Stephens, is the title of valuable work,
the first volume of which we have just received
from the publishers.
Histories of the late civil war have sprung up
like mushrooms, and they can now be numbered
almost by the hundreds, but all who are desirous
of arriving at a. correct understanding of the
causes, and clear history Of the events of the
late lamentable war, have felt the want of reli-
able history of the same from n southern stand
point, by some representative man at the South
This want is about to be supplied by Alexander
Stephens. Mr.. Stephens was most earnest pro-
testant against rebellion, and only suecumbed at
the last moment when his State in spite of his
warning, committed the great error.
The bare announcement that this distinguished
Statesman had determined to write book, would
of itself, be sufficient to kinae lively and wide
spread interest in all sections of the country but
| when il is known that he has chosen his theme
tn, one so fruitful as The Late American War
the absu.-bing interest of the subject, together
with the eyidens and singular fitness of the au-
thor for its treatment unite in awakening Gu
riosity entirely unparalleled in the annals oi
American literature.
1t presents careful political analysis of the
past separating real from apparent causes of the
| late unhappy conflict, and gives those interior
| lights and shadows of the great war, only known
to those high officers, who watched the hood-feld
of revolution from its fountain-springs and which
were SO accessible to Mr.. Stephens from his posi-
tion as a second officer of the Confederacy.
To public that has been surfeted with appar-
entity similar productions, it presents change o.
fare, both agreeable and salutary, and an intel
lectual treat of the highest order. The Great
American War has at last found historian wor-
| thy of its Importance, and at whose hands 1t re
ceives that moderate, candid and impartial treat
ment which truth and justice SO urgently de-
| mand.
| This most valuable work is sold only by sub
scription. and the publishers want an agent in
every County.
