THE Democracy of California are not
SO much elated with the election of
Haight and the Supreme Court victory
as their more distant allies. They real
ize the situation, see inevitable defeat in
the coming campaign, and thus early
funeral notes are piped by the press,
and the Democracy warned against that
which alone defeated the Republican
party last year-a division on side is
sues. California is good for $4,000 for
Grant and the Union ticket this fall.
The Dispatch thus implores:
. In solid phalanx the Dem ocratic party must
enter the great political battle of 1868, if it
would achieve a victory. There must be no
6issensions in its ranks, no invidious discrim-
nation between its members, no denunciations
of men on account of former political opin-
ions; no side issues to distract the public mind
from the immensity of the importance of the
struggle. We must enter the contest as q
band of brothers with arms extended to re-
ceive all who may be disposed to desert the
enemy and come over to us. IL any suppose
there is an easy contest before us toe sooner
they dismiss the idea the better, for il may
lure them and their fellow Democrats to de-
struction. The struggle for the next Presi-
dency will be n fearful one- The enemy are
still powerful, and they will use all the means
at their command to secure another lease of
power. They realize that defeat would be de-
struction TO them, and hence they viii put
forth all their energies and all their strength
to secure tie mastery. To overcome them
will be no easy task. rr.r

In any community" at the same time
admitting the Gazette "has been request
ed time and again to procure and publish
the gold reports, by the business men of

lieve they would ask paper to insert

to be assured the gold report is so gene

report has been published in nearly
every issue of the PosT, on the day sub
sequent to it's receipt, with the date in
New York given. They are legitimate,
genuine and correct. 1t is not our fault
that other papers have lacked sufficient
energy to procure IL. Those editorial

for which God created them, for even

sharks swim the ocean, and vampires
chill the air in their shadowy flights.
They are necessary evils, perhaps; have
their places among the good and the

by their very nature from any prominent
consideration, Editors who assimilate

Instead of doing so, the Call states, she

tcrmcnt. Soon afterwards, continues
oir contemporary, ia woman came to
the office Of the Coroner in n high state
of excitement, and stated that the young
girl referred to had come down here
from her home in an interesting condi-
ton, and sought medical assistance.
The woman said she knew the character
cr tho medical aud surgical operations
performed by the doctor whom the young
girl had visited, and that she had her
suSpicions aroused concerning the mat

the Chief of Police of the circumstances,
and he dispatched an officer to the boat
to prevent the body from being taken
away, but the officer arrived asfew min
uteS too late. Measures have been
taken TO have the body returned to this
city, so that n %post-mortem examination

of the case are that the woman referred

Az. 0YSrER ANAToMlzED.-lf an oyster
be carefully opened without injuring his
structure, and examined in Il shallow
trough Of water, the mouth may be seen
readily enough. L; is situated nea the
hinge, and is concealed by the folds of
the mantle and the two pairs Of labial
Illuminated %tcntacles. The mouth is II
simple transverse %oriicc, without teeth
or any triturating organ, and leads nj
most directly into the stomach, the sides
Of which are perforated by the large
hepatic duets coming from the liver, in
the center of which the stomach is i'm
beddcd. The liver, which is of II green
color-on which account it is readily
distinguished from the other viscera-
consists of a number Of small folliclcs /;
the hillary sccretious are poured into
the stomach through the opening al
ready alluded to the Intestine, after
forming certain circumvolutions round
the other r~icera, terminates in an OPEN
ing on the other side OF the she'll from
that on which the mouth is situated.
The hard, muscular mass Of white sub
stance which the knife has severed is
the adductor muscle, by mcan Of which
the animal is enabled to open aud shut
the valves in front Of this substance
careful dissection will reveal n double
membranous organ, semi-triangular in
form, and partly chocolate, partly light
yellow color, and about the size Of two
small peas. This is the oysters heart,
which may be seen to p~ulsatc slowly
aud somewhat i regularly. This double
organ consists Of an auriclc and n ven
tricle, the contractions of which latter
organ sends the blood through the en-
tire system. After being oxygcnated in
the branchial vessels, it returns again
to the a~uricle, thence into the vcntricle,
to be again propelled through the sys-
tenn. This bronchial apparatus consists
of two pairs of membranous plates beau.
tifully striated, and floating within the
cavity of the shell when in its native
water. If q small portion be placed on
n slip of glass with n little salt water,
and viewed under the microscope with
q magnifying power Of about three hun
dred), q beautiful spectacle will be
seen. The thousands of tiny ella lash
tho water necessarily, thus causing
fresh currents of water to acratc the
blood which flows through the bronchial.
vessels. This is the portion Of the oys-
ter commonly called the beard" or
the "gills." It has long been n matter
of. dispute as to whether oysters are of
separate sexes. We believe that-somc
naturalists will assert that there are
male and female individuals. But the
hermaphroditc nature Of tho oyster is
rs clear as possible.

THE IMPEACHMENT TRIAL.

The attempt OF the Democratic lead
crs TO shield Andrew johnson is q logi-
cal sequence of the Democratic rebel
lion. Still following the theories Of
Calhoun, wh'"L prepared the Southern
mind for aud carried the Southern peo-
pie through u bloody civil war, these
leaders prove their utter contempt for
the whole spirit Of the Constitution.
We have. seen the text Of the funda-
mental law tortured into an apology for
rebellion and now q college Of astute
dialecticians extract from it the justiii-
cation practically to restore that rebel
lion! Aud in whose name is this con-
summatc wickedness to he wrought!
Not in the name of one who has reflect
ed honor upon his country or credit
upon his race; but for the advantage
and the vindicatiou OF II demagoguc,
who, from the moment he contemplated
the betrayal of u record which, honestly
adhered to, would have made his name
illustrious, abandoned himself to incon-
ceivable degradation. Imagine Il Presi-
dent in the days of Madison making the
speech that fell from Andrew Johnson's
lips on the 22d of February, 1866, or
"swinging around the circle III the
autumn of the same year, exchanging
cpithcts with the crowd, and causing
his companions to blush black for their
legal superior! Fancy one OF tue "m-
TIERS of the Constitution" after such a
wal as the last, throwing himselfinto the
arms of his csuntry's enemies, and vol
UNFAIRLY becoming the prosecutor Of his
couutry's friends! Think ola President,
after the Revolution Or the second war
tor independence, pervcrting his vast
patronage to the persecution Of the men
who had led our armies and saved our
liberties? Mr.. Madison, who always an
ticipatcd the future, once imagined n
period in our history when the Presi-
deucy might be disgraced in the person
of its occupant, and the picture he drew
is, perhaps, the very hest rebuke that
could be administered to those who are
now. standing forth in defense of An
drew Johnson: We copy from Elliott's
Debates:
On the 18th OF juno, l7SS, IN the Virginia
Convention, George Mason objected to the
pardoning power vested in the President fol
ordinary crimes. Mr.. Madison, in reply,
said:
There is one security in this case to which
gentlemen may not have adycrtcd: II the
President be connected in any manner with
any person, and there Dc grounds to believe
he will shelter him, the House Of Rcprcscn'
tatiyes can impcach him they (evidcntly
referring to the Senate, or the Senate in con.
nection with the House,, can remove him j
found guilty ; they can suspend him tchen q
pectcd. and the power will devolve upon the
Vice President.
Where would the pure and spotless
statesman who spoke these words be
found If he were mingling among the
actors in this stormy period? Not, GER
taiuly, among those who oppose the i'm
parchment OF the present Executive.

Mrs. Harriet Bccchcr Stoves new
book, Men of our Times" contains
the following anecdotes Of her brother,
Henry Ward Beccher. The first are Of
days when ut the age of eleven he was
in his sisters school Mt Hartford /:
The school room was divided into two
divisions in grammar, under leaders on
either side, and the grammatical reviews
were contests for superiority, in which
il was vitality important that every men,
her should be perfected. Henry was
generally the latest choice, and fell on
his side as IN unlucky acccsion-being
held more amusing than profitable on
such occasions.
The fair leader Of onc Of these divi-
sions took the boy aside to n private
apartment to put into him with female
tact and insinuation those definitions
and distinctions on which the honor
depended.
"Now Henry, A is the indefinite mr.
ticle, you sec-aud must be used only
With the singular number. You can
say a man-but you can't say a men -
eyes, | can say Amen, too was the
ready rejoinder. "Father says it al
ways at the end Of his prayers"
"Come, Henry, now don't be joking /;
decline He" "Nominative he, posses
sivc his, objective him." "You see,
his is possessive. Now you a say, his
book-but you can't say him book"
eyes | do say hymn book, too" said
the impracticablc scholar with q quizi-
cal twinkle. Each one of these snllies
made his young teacher laugh, which
was the Victory he wanted.
"But, now, Henry, seriously, just at
tend to the active and passive voice.
Now II strike is active, you sec, be-
cause il you strike you do something.
But Tam struck is passive, because if
you are struck, you don't do anything,
do ~yon?',.
"Yes, | dol strike back again J"
Sometimes his views ot'philosophical
subjects were offered gratuitously.
Being of n. somewhat rather frisky
nature, his sister appointed his seat at
her elbow, when she heard her classes.
4 class in natural philosophy, not very
well prepared, was stumbling through
the theory of the tides. " can explain
that" said Henry. Well, you see tho
sun catches hold Of the moon and pulls
her, and she catches hold Of the sea
and.pulIs that, and this makes the spring
tides"
/" Oh, that's when he stops to spit
on his hands," was tho brisk r%ejoinder.
After about six months, Henry was
returned on his parents hands, with the
reputation of being an invcterate joker
aud an indifferent scholar. II was the
opinion of his class that there was much
talent lying about loosely in him If he
conld only be brought to apply himself.
