CABINET MATERIAL.

The Bee thinks there is lots and gobs OF
suitable material on the Pacific Coast TO
make cabinet ministers out of for General
Grant. We agree fully with the Bee, sspe'
ciaily if Grsut's Cabinet is to truly represent
the leaders Of the party that elected him,
and having some knowledge of the fitness OF
things, and Of the leading champions who
contributed most TO his success in this State,
we would beg to whisper to the Bee the
following appropriate names. which should
not be- overlooked: For Secretary of State,
Charles WeslmoreTand, A. p. Dudley, or
Henry Edger,on. For Secretary of the
Treasury, George G. Gorham, Zske Wilson,
Senator Nye, or Nat. Bronghton. For Sec
retary OF War, we would name Col. Hawk
ius, Gen. George S. Evens, or Gen John
Stra,man. For the Navy, there is A. Red
ding,on, who, for this position, should have
no rival, as no one knows half so much
about bat great National obstruction to nav
igaling the Hogsback, or Mdshipman E. Il.
c. Judsop, (Ned Buu,In) For Secretary of
the Interior, although Bill Parks, for bis
great land mission to Washington, in behalf
Of this State, in which be didn't do it, and
Charlie Duane's land squatliug propensties
recommend them both very highly, still We
lean. to Gen. John Bidwell, as be got the
referee in bis ranch matter TO make favor
able report for the sum of $4,000, when a
Congressman, and especially should be have
the position if the Indian Bureau is retained
in this department, for the reason that be
has shown great tact in making the Indians
on his ranch profitable 10 himself and ex'
peDsiye 10 the Government. For Attorney
General, J. W. Kicks, Judge Saudersoo,
John Yue, or Charlie DeLopg, would either
answer, though We think Kicks should have
the preference. For P. NJ. General, crazy
Newt, artilierymau at Washington, Yolo
county, Capt. Siddons, or +. F. Low, would
do. Talk about there being no material on
The Pacific for cabinet officers! We say the
Bee is right, there is lots and gobs Of it, and
stuff to make more of the same kind. Yes,
in the language Of the Bee, the ranks of the
party ars "Iousy" with such talent.
We beg pardon Of our numerous Placer
county asplrants for not mentioning their
names 10 this connection. We should have
done so, but Lave understood that the beau
tifulC) banner sent them from the State Cen
tral Committee, was received in full for all
services rendered by the Placer county mon
grels.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
Let Us Protect Ourselves.

The physical structure of the strongest hu-
man being is vulnerable everywhere. Our
bodies are endowed by nature with certain
negative power, which protects them. to some
extent, from unwholesome influences but
this protection is imperfect, and cannot be safe
ly relied on in unhealthy regions, or under
circumstances of more than ordinary danger.
Therefore, it is wisdom; it is prudence; it is
common sense to provide against contingen-
cies, by taking an ANTIDorE IN ADVANCE;
in other words, by fortifying the system with
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS-the
most complete protective against all the epi-
demic and endemic maladies that has ever been

where HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS
can be procured, does voluntarily; for, as
surely as truth exists. this invaluable TONIC
and Alternative would restore his disordered
stomach to a healthy condition. To the ner-
vous it is also especially recommended, and in
cases of confirmed constipation it $50 affords
speedy and permanent relief.
In all cases of fever and ague the BITTERS
more potent than any amount of quinlne,
while the most dangerous cases of bilious fe-
yer yield to its wonderful properties. Those
who have tried the medicine will never use
another, for any of the ailments which the
HOSTETTER'S BITTERS profess to subdue
To those who have not made the experiment
we cordially recommend an early application

ARRIVAL OF A RHINoCERoS.-Ihe
first rhinoceros which has appeared in
this country for twenty years, was
landed in New York recently. The
animal is but four years old, and
measures nine feet in length, and four
and a half in height, weighing over
1900 pounds He will not attain his
full growth till the age of twenty five
to thirty years, when his height may
be expected to reach seven feet, and
his length sixteen feet. AS his daily
food, he eats two bushels of corn, one
bushel of potatoes, and three hundred
pounds of hay, drinking fifteen to
twenty buckets of water. The present
specimen is of the black Asiatic kind
which is very morose and sullen, and
subject to sudden and violet fits o.
fury, causing him to rush indiscrimi
nately at any object in his path. The
horn on his nose is formidable
weapon. His scales serve as a pro
lection against all injury, and are sale
to be impervious to shot. Creases
behind the forelegs, under the belly
and on the breast, where the scales
meet, are the only places that can b'
pierced.

The soldiers at this post, who were
assigned to the duty of preserving
order at the polls, during the late cleo
tion, are universally complimented by
our citizens for the faithful, impartial

peace" The favorable impression
made by Col Biddle, and his com
mand, on the people of Natchez, our
observation leads us to believe was
well founded.

BENEFITS OF A LARGE FAMILY.-A
large family is a host in itself. Its
members are never dependent for
amusements upon strangers. They
are alway numerous enough to be able
to organize their own games. Winter
or summer it is the same. What can
be more miserable than for two lads to
have to play cricket without a long
stop, or to have to press some shrink
ing little sister, with her extended
apron, into the service? She has to be
coaxed, pribed, or bullied in the opera
ton; and the cruel sport generally
ends by flood Of tears on the part of
the tiny female mercenary. Let there
be but plenty of boys. and plenty OF
girls, and there can never be any lack
of fun-masculine fun and feminine
| fun-astir. They quarrel, it will be
said. OF course they do; and herein
| lies another tremendous advantage OF
a large family against small one

Mississippi.

The election news from Mississippi
is most cheerful, especially when we
consider that the registered negro ma
iority in the State is fifteen thousand.
Much sooner than we expected, the
colored people of the South are found
voting with their old friends, the vir-
tuous and intelligent citizens OF the
State, and refusing to follow the lead
of the trifing adventurers who have
left their homes in the North in order
to impose upon the ignorance and
credulitv of the Southern blacks. In
the first elections held under the Re
construction Acts, few or no negro
voters were with the old citizens, but
in every subsequent election they have
more and more torn themselves away
from their disreputable leaders and
oath bound leagues. The marked man.
Hesitation of a growing sympathy with
the Southern whites which was seen
in the last elections in Georgia and
South Carolina, has eliminated IN Mis-
sissippi to an open and thorough coali
ton. The negroes of that State have
spit upon the miserable creatures who
have calculated to crawl into places
of honor and profit through thei
| aid.
This election, if the Democrats ar
not cheated out of their victory b.
false returns, will be OF great signifi

Speculation as to the Democratic
Convention in New York, last night,
placed Hancock at the head of the
slate, with Chase next on the list of
probabilities, and Hendricks, Seymour
and Pendleton further down. There
is, perhaps, some significance in the
fact that almost all guesses, for few
days past, have give Chase the second
chance, and left Ohio's favorite son,
