PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATES.

A little knowledge Of wire pulling is absolutely
necessary to proper understanding of political
events of recent occurrence The presidential cam.
paign is so close at hand, that all moves on the po
tcal board are more Or less intended to have
a bearing upon it.
The removal of Generals Pope and Ord is good
instance of this truth. Those officers have done
nothing lately which more specially merits punish
ment at the hands of the President than other acts
performed long ago. Almost from the hour of his
appointment, Pope has exceeded his authority and
trampled upon the rights of the people placed un,
der his tender care. His removal has been called
for so long and so often, and this call has been SC
steadily neglected, that the hope of getting rid Of
him had almost died out. Pope himself hud good
reason to feel encouraged in his course, and con.
slider himself firmly seated in the consular dignity.
But when his task is nearly finished and he has
done all the harm he could, the axe falls upon his
official neck, and his proud head rolls to the
ground to take its place in the dust with those Of
the martyred Sickles and Sheridan.
Regarded as measure of justice, this removal
is failure; for nothing is gained by it, now that
the conventions carried by his fraudulent elections,
have met and done their work. But when it is
announced that Mr.. johnson is a candidate for re-
election, the removal becomes easy to comprehend
A removal before Pope had time to do much harm
might have benefited District No. 3; but it would
not have helped Mr. johnson. His removal nou
does help Mr.. johnson, by giving him popu.
larity with the Democracy, and down goes Pope
like shot Cat. The aspirations of the President
for reelection are being gracefully developed, not
withstanding his modest denials, and recent &C
counts represent him as likely to be the nominee
of the Democratic party
On the other hand, his great rival, the cigar
smoking, horse-talking Grant, who was so Ions
supposed to have the choice of nomination from
either party, is losing ground. He has let ou
enough, between the whiffs of his cigar smoke, t.
make it certain that he is not a Democrat, and hi
Republican brethren betray less love for him thar
they did. The fact that Grant is losing POPULAR
ty, is announced by every writer on the subject
Chase is gaining, and if the Southern Radicals arr
admitted to the Chicago Convention, it is said Ii,
will secure the nomination.
The nominees then, of the two parties, arc nov
supposed to be Chase and johnson; but befor
the nominations are made, ten or dozen other ia
vorites may have risen and passed from view. l
will, however, be an aid to the understanding o
passing political events to remember that the Chic
Justice and the President are working for nomina

sALES-DAY.

The first Monday in January is usually day
important to business men, from the number O
persons brought togetherat various Court Houses
as well rs from the facts that it is usually consid
cred day for the reckoning of accounts, changes
of ownership of property, and other business
transactions incident to new year. In the frs
particular, although the day was disagreeaby rainy
q considerable number of persons were in atten
dance here on Monday, but so far as business
transactions were concerned We think the concer
was small affair, especially so in the matter O.
reckoning accounts for past dues.
Some property changed hands at low figures
among which were the following tracts of land sole
by the Commissioner:
One tract of land in possession of G. j. Pride
sold on six months time, with interest, at $40

Radical platform II acOud Oe TdSh 10 place fett-
ance upon any other Northern on IIesterm Stute. "
"Pihk," the N. York correspondent of the
Charleston Courier, furnishes the following para
graph in reference to the temper OF the Northern
people at this time: '"The Northern mind is con.
siderably affected by the reports which have reach
ed us these few days concerning the poverty strlck
en- regions of the South, and the mass of our popu
lation are somewhat aggrieved at the unsatisfactory
turn things have taken in the sister States. They
unwittingly look to Washington, with its Congress
its Executive Bureaux, etc., and cannot help bla
ming one and all concerned with the Southern
reconstruction business, for the manner in which
the material welfare of the South is retarded The
dissatisfaction is growing stronger day by day, the
more so as the fault lies entirely and exclusively
with those who administer the government of the
country, be it Congress or the President. The
Northern people en- n1asSc entertain the most
full, and utterly opposed to keeping the South
down Just for the sake of keeping it down. That
principle is entirely antagonistic to the Northern
feeling. "Let by-gones be by-gones is the gen.
eral cry, but our rulers heed not, and run on in
their mad, reckless career
The rumors to which we referred last week,
to the effect that the consttutionaty OF the Recon
struction Acts would be tested in the Supreme
Court at an early day, continue to gain currency.
The Washington correspondent of the New York
Herald, in referring to the matter, says: Zone
case, the trial of which is expected to begin very
shortly will decide the question as to whether Vr-
ginia is in or out of the Union. 1t is confidently
believed that the decision Of the court will be that
Virginia is not now and never has been out of the
Union, in which case the situation in the South
ern States will be materially changed. The Presi-
dent, it is said. will then instruct the Military Dis
trct Commanders to act in strict accordance with
the decision Of the highest tribunal of the nation,
and permit the civil governments to resume their

The Heated Term.

August is invariably an unhealthy month, and
the dog days are universally quoted as an UNI
healthy season. Diseases more frequently ter
inmate fatally at this time than at any other,
owing to the relaxation of the system. This is,
therefore, the proper time to use remedy that
will recuperate the strength and fortify the sys-
ten against the attacks of disease. Experience
has demonstrated the fact that 'HOSTETTER'S
STOMACH RITTERs is the best medicine used
to accomplish this desirable object. By its use
the appetite is increased, digestion promoted all
feelings of depression removed, and the vital
fuctions restored. The afflicted should avoid all
pernicious alcoholic preparations purporting to
be tonics and restoratives, as they only afford
temporary exhiliration, and eventually entail
dangerous, if not fatal, results. This is never
the case with HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BIT
TIERS. They afford permanent benefit and soothe
the nerves without reaction following their use.
The weak and debilitated by its aid, awake to a
sense of the eIjoyments of life, and they are en-
abled once more to take their accustomed posi-
tons in society HOSTETTER'S BITTERS are
now considered the standard remedy for all Ill
seases arising from al inquiry of the blood
They are manufactured in great quantities, and
there is scarcely city or hamlet on the habita-
BILE globe where they may not be found.
