been cured by a single bottle, with perfect

Just cause or good sense IN discarding a

New York Mercantile Journal of June 25th,
and commend it to the close attention Of our
readers
Lockjaw, or Tetanus, has long been one
of the most formidable symptoms ensuing
upon certain kinds of Wounds and it has
sometimes baiHed all tie resources of sur
gical and medical art a last, however, a
remedy has been discovered that completely
conquers it. Chloroform is the benefcent
agent The method of application is by
placing cloth saturated with the fluid along
the entire spinal column, and preventing
evaporation bv Covering the cloth with oiled
silk This is done whenever the patient
feels the tetanic paroxysm approaching 1t
aVerts ali spasms and usually causes the
patient to sink into n sweet refreshing slum-
Der, which may lead to rapid convalescence.
The inhalation Of chlorof0rm has hitherto
been tried, but with success only when com
plete GReSthesia was produced.

spoke of the stories concerning Chase as
the Democratic candidate, the answer
to which is thus stated;

had gone down to any man or party. In

There is not much excitement.here just
now. Impeachment being over with,
shere'was very little anxiety felt the day
the vote was taken, for nearly every one
expected it to be in favor of the Presl-
dent. The coming Presidential election
is the principal topic of conversation fin
political circles now. Meetings are being
held AL over the state ratifying the noml-
nations made at Chicago. Although this
State has been carried by the Democrats
for two years, we are very confident OF
carrying it by strong majority this fall.
After nearly month of steady rain, we
have had the pleasure of enjeying, a. dew
days of PLEASANT weather. Farmers are
improving the time by getting their crops
in as fast as they can. Although during
day light it is pleasant enough, after sun

objections against having ,0arns weather

A Confession.

The Madison Journal says that the
Chicago Times In commenting on General
Grants letter of acceptance, makes an
important admission respecting the pun'-
pose of its party. General Grant hav-
ing promised that, if elected, be will ex
ecute the Laws without attempting to en-
force a policy of his own in opposition
to the viii of the people, the Times spec
ulates upon the consequences which
would follow If the Democrats should
obtain majority in Congress Assuming
that, ia sNeh contingency, General
Grant will acquiesce In whatever a Demo
cratic Congress might do, it proceeds tc
indicate what, III Its judgement. would
be the leading features of policy by the
triumphant party. 1t says:
q Jledcr a Democratic majority, lie ,oil
,-epudiate he p,U make tbs aohu,
mars gorernnent he soiU pay for tht
en,ancipdted s1aues he iciU restore rebel
to po,oer. ---.-.-.-.4-.
This is a significant confession by {
leading journal of the opposition. 1t ad
mits that if the Democratic party gets
the power it will repudiate the Natsona
debt: will restrict the right of suffrage
to white men will pay the rebels fol
their emancipated slaves, and will restore
the rebels to the ascendancy in the Coy
ernmept. No doubt such are the pur-
poses of the party, but it is a piece OF
candor we had not looked for to find them
boldly admitted by a leading Democra tic
paper.
We have however, double security
in the event of General Grants election
against the occurrence of such results
First, if the Republicans elect the Presi-
dent, they will, in all probability. elect {
majority in Congress. Secondly, Gen
Grant's position is not that he will sane
ton all measures passed by majority
| of Congress but that he will take care the
laws are faithfully executed, and will no
employ the executive Office to defeat
their opera tlon.

WITH SUPPLEMENT.
GEN. y. s. GRANT,

Some months ago certain leading Dem
ocrats, on hearing Of what they consider
ed, great victories for their cause, said
''Well just hold on till the fall of 6S and
with Gen. Grant at the head of our ticket
we will sweep everything before us!"
We cite this fact to show the character
of the Democratic party. That party
Individually and collectively is now labor
ing day and night to prove that Grant is
of no account whatever. Sour grapes.
Gentlemen, sour grapes You have tried
every blandishment which the cunning
of man could invent to win the General
over to espouse your failing cause, hoping
thereby to avert the calamity which GER
tainly awaits you next November. but
having failed you now seek by unblush-
ing falsehood, by petty, sneaking cal
| umnies, by detraction and slanders of
every nature to tarnish the character of
a man who has taken rank with the very
FIRST men the nation has produced. And
why? Not because he has-since the war
done anything to injure the Democratic
party not at all, he has kept perfectly
quiet and only refused to be made tool
of by Democrats-this constitutes his
offense
There was time when parties did not
engage in such debasing work. For two
successive terms George Washington
was unanimously chosen President of the
country his bravery and patriotism had
saved from destruction. 1t was not
claimed that he was statesman, but he
was patriot and common sense man,
and the people would not permit any
party to speak disrespectfully of the man
they had chosen for candidate. With
equal unanimity Grant has been selected
as candidate. From Maine to Califor-
MIA, and from the Canada line to the
Gulf of Mexico, there is one unanimous
desire expressed by the majority party
for his election, and that class of men
who now oppose and malign him, merely
| because lie WOuIu not De an advocate anu
representative of their principles, will be
hurled into the darkest corner of oblivion
unless they change their course. A party
cannot one day acknowledge mans s
genius, his goodness of heart, the
mighty benefits he has conferred on the
country ETC., ETC., and the next seek to
take it all back, the people have better
memories than to allow such proceed
ing. .g.---.,.-.....-
Grant-as we have intimated above
is the unaninaous choice OF the 'choze people
for the Presidency. First the Democratic
leaders presented his name and their fol-
lowers shouted Amen! Then the Re
publicans nominated him and again the
people signify their acceptance of the
man Now if the Democracy are wise,
if they wish to gain strength for future
struggle, they will quietly assent to the
wish of the masses and let Grant be, as
Washington was, the universal choice of
his countrymen.

AN OPINION CONCERNING GENERAL
GRANT

ed In the Madison journal over three
years ago. 1t is hardly necessary to say
the General has proved himself worthy
OF the high estimate placed upon him /:
Nothing indeed has given ussoshsh IAN
opinion of the greatness of Gen. Grant
not the campaign before, e,Vicksburg-not
the mastery tactics that so swiftly
brought order out of confusion and
retained victory to our arms at Chatta-
nooga-not the indomitable will that
defed disaster in the Wilderness, and
pushed forward in the teeth of obstacles
that seemed insurmountable-as the
readiness with which he renounced the
| more snowy parts of the campaign, with
out signof regret, to otherofficers under
him the opportunity of winning present
laurels, and taking for his own Immediate
task the most difficult, the most impor-
sant, and yet the least brilliant operation
OF ALL While Sherman, Sheridan and
Thomas have been crowning themselves
with the chaplets of victory, the General
in-Chief, with patient resolution and
untiring alel tness has been holding the
ablest General of the South, and the
flower of the rebel army, in his grim and
unrelaxing grasp. He has made the
opportunity which his subordinates have
so brilliantly improved What other
General have we capable of such self
control, such far-sighted magnanimity {?
During all the time he has devoted HIM
self to holding Lee fast bound in Rich
mond, he has not exhibited the slightest
uneaslness at the popularity o.. other
Generals, or lest his own merits should
be unappreciated. What contrast does
his conduct afford in these respects with
that of some other Generals who might
be namedl No newspaper attacks or
political criticisms-and they have not
been wanting ruffled his ilnper-
turbable demeanor. He has spent no
time in looking after the preservation of
his personal fame. The whole vicor of
his faculties seems to have been devoted
to the great task in hand. Since Napol-
con, no man has undertaken to direct
operations so vast and complex, but, thus
far, this man has shown himself capable
of it, and in the discharge of this great
Office has manifested degree of unpre-
tentious self-reliance of quiet strength
OF consumate generalship which, if not
! fully appreciated now, will, we believe.
be duly recognized by the verdict of time
We know full we'll the hazard of such
praise bestowed on one whose career is
not yet Terminated We know that til e
warrior famoused in fight, after hun
dred victories, once foiled, is liable to
! have his name RACED fro-c the book of
honor But we feel confil NJ that the
man who has the genius to direct, affairs
SO vast and complicated as those which
occupy Gen. Grant, and who is capable
of going about the task in the straightfor-
ward comprehensive spirit that has char
acterized him, and free from the vanity and
jealousy that so often accompany and
tarnish military fame, can reserve for
himself the execution of the most diff
cult and least brilliant portion of the
campaign, must be made of genuine
stuff There IS no p,nch5ech IN his cone
