UNION MEETING AT SANTA RosA-CoNaREssaA
JOHNSON DISTINGUISHES HINsELF.-A correspond
ent, writing from Santa Rosa, Sonoma county,
gives the following particulars of political epi-
sode in that Democratic stronghold A meeting
of the Republicans was announced for Saturday
evening, September 26th, to be addressed by
Chancellor Harrison, Union nominee for Congress
in this district. When Harrison arrived he
learned that Congressman Johnson his Demo-
cratic competitor, was in town, and supposing
that be might desire to speak, Harrison invited
him twice before the meeting to do so. Johnson
twice declined, assigning i'll health reason.
At the proper time the meeting organized,
and Kessngs Hall filled, ladies being
present. At first some of the Democrats present
were rather boisterous, and coarsely hurled the
lie at the speaker, qualifying it with oath.
They finally quieted down, however, and Hart
son made good speech, fully ventilating Sey-
mour and BaiE and the mischievous aims of
their party 1t Was evident that he had made
an impression, which the Democrats were anx-
ious to shake off, and therefore plotted another
meeting on the heels of the Union gathering.
Unexpectedly dt the close Of Hartsons speech,
the voice of the declining invalid Johnson
heard saying: I" Don't go away; | want to
speak" Harrison requested the chairman to call
the meeting to order, which he did. Johnson
then took the stand, Harrison sitting at his right
publicans, charging the war upon them and all
manner of henous crimes besides. He then at
tackled General Grant. At this point he was
told by old crippled man at his left, by the
name of Schultz, that he was lying. Johnson
told Schultz not to say that he lied Schultz
who was following the very bad Democratic ex-
ample set early in the evening, replied in these
words I" If you do not want to be charged with
it then stop lying" Johnson then seized a
tumbler and dashed it to pieces against Schultz,
who was the first at his left eight Of ten
feet off, following the act with a rush upon
Schultz in person. Schultz defended himself
well for cripple sixty years old, and more than
returned Johnson's blows. He hit Johnson in
the face, caught hold of his collar, ripped that
up, and made him move around the ring so lively
that the Congressman's friends interfered to pro-
tect him and end the disturbance. The ladies
shrieked and ran off, and considerable confusion
prevailed. Harrison kept his seat When johnson
returned to the rostrum he INDUCED in some pro-
fame language, and declared he would fight any
body but Jesus Christ who would call him
liar.

NUMBER 40.
Strike Among Democrats.

Nearly every exchange we receive, says the
Mineral Point (Wis.) Tribune contains the names
of one or more prominent Democrats who refuse
to support the Grayback-Seymour ticket and
are working for the election of Grant and Col
fax. Among them them we notice the follow.
ing
General J. J. Guppy, of Portage in this State,
and formerly Democratic nominee for Congress
from that district
General David Q. Wilson, of Dubuque, Iowa,
lifelong and influential Democrat
Hon. John s. Carlise, of Baltimore, formerly
Unl'ed States Senator from West Virginia.
Hon. T. W. Green, prominent Democrat of
Indianapolis, Indiana.
Judge Studdiford, Of Indiana
General j. B. Sweetzer, of Pittsburg, Penn
sylvania, two years ago Democratic nominee for
Congress.
The very Democratic Vindicator, of ST. Joseph,
Missouri, pronounces Seymour "the most mag
nifcent of all humbugs," and is preparing to
bolt him as such.
Mr. Francis Belfoy, publisher of the Demo-
cratic organ at Minneapolis, Minnesota, has
bolted Tammany, sold out his concern and es-
tabished Republican newspaper.
The stirring appeals of the Zaneville (Ohio)
Germania, since it repudiated Seymour and de-
clared for Grant and Colfax, are having great
influence upon the Western Teutons, and the
Steubenville Herald says: Tn German Demo-
Gratis of Ohio abandoning that party by
thousands and enrolling among the friends of
Grant and Cofax.'
The Lawrence PENN Journal, published at
Newcastle, says: I" The grayback nominaton
has gained twofundred votes for the Republi-
can party in Lawrence county, and so it is all
over the State. The Republican vote in Penn
sylyania will be increased by $4,000 at the com-
ing election"
A gentleman writing from the interior of New
York, says: d" l find here number of Democrats
going for Grant, though they voted for McClel-
Ian in 1854 Seymour does not please the peo-
pie here, and Blair is still worse.'
The Reading penn Dispateh says the Demo-
Gratis in Berks county won't rally for Seymour.
On several occasions, and in different parts of
Berks, they have tried to form clubs for the
campaign but in every case the attempt has
proved futile. The sturdy farmers who have
their thousands invested in Government sccuri-
ties, will not go the reputation ticket When
the Gibraltar of Democracy in Pennsylvania
won't rally, it is apparent Seymour will haye'a
poorer showing in November than Mcclellan in
1854"
Weekly Trinity journal., 1868-10-10

TIE Richmond Dispatch begins to realize the
situation since the Vermont election. 1t says
" If Maine shall show gain, large or small, for
the Radicals, then Seymour may consider MS
chances of being a successor to George Wash
ipgton as small indeed"

AN exchange says" Brick Pomeroy is trying
to find out what kind of clay he is made Of
Following out the investigation, he wrote to
Senator Pomeroy, inquiring to what branch Of
the Pomeroy family he belonged. The Senator
replied that Brick might take which branch
he pleased, but he (the Senator) belonged to the
other branch"

The NOSE BLEED-There are two arte4
ries which supply the whole face with
blood, one on each side These branch
off from the main arteries on each side OF
the windpipe, and, running upward to-
ward the eyes, pass over the outside of the
jawbone, about two thirds of the wav
back from the chin to the angle of the
ear. Each Of these arteries, of course
supplies just one half of the face, the
ose being the dividing line. The left
nostril is supplied with blood by the left
artery. Now, supposing your nose bleeds
by the right nostril, l,withthe end of the fore
finger feel along the outer edge of the
right jaw until you feel the beating Of the
artery directly under your finger, the same
as the pulse in your wrist, then press hard
upon it with your finger, thus getting the
little fellow in tight place berween your
finger and the iawbone; the result will re
that not drop of blood goes into that
side Of your face while the pressure con-
tinues hence the nose instantly stops
bleeding for want of blood to flow. Con
tinue the pressure for FIVE or ten minutes.
and the ruptured vessels in the nose vii
by that time probably contract Sc that
when you let the blood into them they
will not leak. Bleeding from cut or
wound anywhere about the face may be
stopped in the same way.

The RED SEA.--The Red sea is said by
travellers to be the hottest place in the
world. The atmosphere for about sixty
miles on thatsea is stormy and sticky
Everything in the shape Of Iron or steel
about ship takes on a coat Of rust Du-
rim. the summer months no one travels
on the Red sea, unless compelled by bus
iness or military orders to do so In the
winter and spring the passage is delight-
ful. Then navigation in that body of wa
ter is always attended By many dangers
The Red sea is long and narrow, with
sunken rocks and projecting reefs; and
counter winds prevail, which produce
dangerous currents There are three
lighthouses in the sea, which must be
kept by salanander-ike men, since the
thermometer runs up to one hundred and
twenty degrees in July, and approaches
ninety early IN the spring

TRUTH WILL OUr.-Once upon a time
a nobleman gave great supper While
the guests were at the table, two maskers
came into the hall, who were no larger
than children of five or six years old one
personated lord and the other a lady
Their dress was as splendid as it could
be, and they danced very skiIlfulIy, to the
great diversion Of the guests Everybody
said they could not admire the dexterity
of these polite children enough
Then an o'd officer took an apple and
threw between the dancing couple sud-
denly the lord and lady rushed after the
anpie as though frantic. In the struggle
5hey tore off each Others masks, aud be-
hold, instead of children, a couple of
monkeys
All the company at the table laughed
heartily, but the old officer said gravely
" Monkeys and fools may dress and dance
splendidly, but the day soon comes when
it is known who they are,

The DEAD LETTER OFFtcE--of all the
official work done at Washington, none is
more regarded by the visitor than the
dead letter Office Here sit some fifteen
or twenty gentlemen--for it is a fact dis
graceful TO humanity that females cannot
be employed So many obscene letters poi
son the nails-continually engaged in
opening the four or five millions of letters
that annually find their way there. More
than fifteen thousand letters are daily
emptied on their desks, asking 20 be opens
ed When the letter Is found to have
valuable contents, those contents are in
dorsed upon It, and the letter returned to
the envelope. A Tt cord is made of all
such letters, and they are at once return,
to their writers, without return postage
30 perfect are the arrangements that it is
hardly possible that valuable dead letter
which has once reached the Office should
fail of revisiting the writer, if it is in the
power of the Department to discove er him
During the past year, 81, 600 letters, in
office, and nearly $4,000 of them, contain
iug $l30,62O, We're restored to their owners.
But besides these money letters there were
2l 600 dead letters containing bills of ex-
change, and other valuable matter, ap~
praised at over $1,000 900; over $4,000
containing stamps and other articles of
small value. Nearly all of them were re-
turned to the original writers, and the
reason why any of these letters fail of be-
ing returned is not the fault of the De-
partment, but of the writer's, who either
send an unsigned letter, or who will sub
scribe herself "your loving Susie" or
"your affectionate Addie;" and as the
government knows no first names, all such
letters are consigned to the chopping box,
and then to the paper mill to reappear as

How Presidents are Elected.

The modus operandi of electing Pres
ident, after the presidential electors have
been chosen, may not be familiar to ALL
so we condense from the PHILADELPHIA
Ledg p an account of the process
The Constitution provides that the cleo
tors chosen in such manner as the Legis-
lature of each state may prescribe, shall
meet IN their respective states and vote
by ballot for President and Vice Presi-
dent At tle meetings known as eclectic
raj colleges, the electors are required to
make lists of the persons they vote for,
and the number of votes cast for each
which lists they are required to sign and
certify, and transmit sealed to the Presi~
dent of the Senate of the United States
at the seat of government That officer
i required to open these certificates in
presence of the Senate and House of
Representatives, and the votes are then to
be counted, and the person having the
greatest number of electoral votes for
President, if such number he a majority
of the whole number OF electors appoints
ed, is declared to be the President; and
so of the Vice President
An act of Congress, of Mfrch 1st, 1892,
which fixed uniform time for holding of
the Presidential election throughout the
country, also provides for further details
1t requires the executive authority OF each
state to cause three certified lists of the
electors, on or before the first Wednesday
of December next after the election; and
that such electors shall meet and give
their votes on the said first Wednesday
in December, at such place as the Legis-
iature of the state may direct
The electors vote by ballot, and are re-
quired to make three certified lists, which
shall be signed by all the electors, with
certified list of the electors attached to
each. These are then to be sealed up in
three separate packages, and a further
certificate endorsed on the envelope of
each, signed by all the electors, stating
that the package contains list of the
votes of such state for President and Vice
President. The electors are then requir~
ed to appoint and commission a person to
take charge of and deliver one Of the said
certified packages to the President Of the
Senate, at the seat of government, on or
before the first " ednesday of January
next ensuing; they are further required
to forthwith forward another of sai4 cer>
titicates by the postofice to the President
Of the Senate, and the third is to be de-
Iivered to the judge Of the district in
which the electors are assembled. These
and other minute provisions are made to
against the possible loss or fai ure Of a
certificate. In order to have certainty as
to the counting of the votes so forwarded,
Congress is required to be in session on
the second Wednesday of February sue
ceeding every meeting Of the electors, on
which day the certificates are to be opened
in the presence OF both Houses, and the
result declared as already stated.
