DANGEROUS SwINDLE IN Teas
The San Francisco Alta of October
22d has the following: A gentleman
has lett at this Office a sample of an
article which he purchased within a
few days as a superior quality of tea
Being an old tea drinker, and COM
PEELED to use the article incidentally,
his attention was attracted few
days since by the appearance of some
tea at store, in the city, put up in
neat packages and marked with a
well,known brand He purchased a
small quantity, but after drinking
one cup prepared from the SO, called
fancy tea, was taken violently i'll.
Upon a close examination OF the
leaves which had been stepped, be
found them to be simply the leaves
of the ordinary California chaparral.
Further inquiry developed the fact.
that the leaves of this and other
shrubs are gathered in great guam
titles upon this coast, and packed in
bales and shipped to China, whence,
after being dried and prepared By
some process unknown, it is returned
to San Francisco properly put up in
packages, and branded and sold as a
superior quality of tea. The sample
shown resembles the best quality of
black tea, both in appearance and
smell, and is calculated to deceive
an ordinary purchaser. While there
is nothing absolutely poisonous about
the leaves of the chaparral, its effects
upon the system are very disagree
able, and decidedly prejudicial to
health. The discovery of such an
outrage and dangerous swindIe in
use is calculated to startle all tea
drinkers and put them on their guard.

MYSTERIOUS MURDER IN SAN
LUIS OBIsPo COUNTY The San
Luis Obispo Tribune of October 18th
says: On thursday last, information
was sent to Justice SIMMER, acting
Coroner, that the body of o person
was found near the stage road, close
to the Arroyo Graude, BY Brand and
Price. There were marks of two
blows on the head, one on the left
side, which fractured the skull The
body was found partially covered up
with earth and rotten poles. The
flesh of one of the arms was entirely
eaten of by some animal, aud the
face was so disfgured that it could
not be Unidentified. On searching
the body, there was found in a new
buckskin belt the sum of three hun
dred dollars in gold coin, of which
four were ten dollar pieces, and the
balance in twenties. He had on salt
and pepper colOred cotton pants,
new check shirt and new cotton
uuler shirt. The description and
particular marks of the body are as
near as ascertained as follows: Brown
hair, light chin whiskers and NUS
tache ; about five feet eight inches
high first lower molar left side gone;
first cuspid, first b cuspid and first
upper molarson left side gone third
molar lower right side and third
mOlar upper right side slightly de-
cayed. The deceased was apparently
young man. Wagon tracks we're
found leading from the main road
into the canyon to where the body
was found. The supposition is that
he was traveller killed BY bis COM
psniOn or companions on the road
and hauled away into this secluded
spot to hide the crime.

Reducing the Expenses.

The Radicals boast of reduction of
national expenses, to which the Cincin-
natl Enquirer tersely aud truthfully re-
plies "When the extraordinary expen-
ditures of the last two years, for extIa
bounties and other allowances growing
out of the war, for the Indian war or
the plains, the defunct Freedmen's Bu'
reau, and the extravagances entailed ii
reconstructing half dozen States, art
deducted from the account--it will b'
found that not dollar has been save
by the economy of which so much ha
been absurdly said and the taxpayer
will have occasion for agreeable surpris
if it is not shown that there has beel
an addition of millions to their burdens
in the ordinary expenses of the govern
ment."

New Tariff.

To-day the new tariff of rates on the
lines of the Western Union Telegraph
Company goes ints operation. Under
it, as the public we'll be happy to learn,
the rates to all parts of the country
will be greatly reduced. We learn that
the company has been engaged for two
years in perfecting system of charges
that would be uniform, cOmpensating
and Just" There were many difficult
ties to be overcome. Six companies are
represented by the Western Union
every one of which has had its own
regulations, and in all there was entire
want of harmony. The rates were often
adjusted upon circnitous routes, after
direct lines had been established their
charges for exchange and transfers
lacked uniformity, and the tariffs in
force along the different lines had no
general basis of agreement. By new
and simple process all these objections
have been remedied under the new tariff.
The rates hereafter will be much lower,
more uniform and therefore more salts

The following table of rates from
Wheeling will enable the home reader
to form seme idea of the reductions that

The Wheeling Posto ce.

We fad the following paragraph In
the Columbus, Ohio, Crisis of September
29th:
The postofice at Wheeling, West Vir-
ginia, has several times during the past
five wears rendered itself obnoxious to
the charge of being public nuisance,
inasmuch as the officials in it seem TO
arrogate the right to dictate to citizens
what newspapers they shall take, and
refuse to deliver such as they pronounce
as disloyal. We have recently had a
vigorous revival of complaints of this
kind from different persons there. The
officials seem to think they enjoy an ex-
emption from the penitentlary, which
they daily brave. We were once COM
PEELED to call the attention OF Post
master General Dennlson to the shame
ful abuses of the postoffice laws in the
same city. and he promptly remedled
/ the trouble. We now call upon Post
master Cresswell to see whether citizens
have any rights under the laws whicn
his subordinates at Wheeling are bound
10 respect.
We confess with regret that some
years ago the Crisis and some other Dem
ocratic papers had good grounds foI
complaint on the score of being denied
postofice facilities here, but we had nc
idea until we read the above paragraph
that mails coming to our city were be-
ing tampered with as charged. The
dag has gone by when partisan senti'
ment would sustain outrages of this
kind. For the credit of our city, we
hope this matter may be investigated at
once and the proper remedy applied.

present policyf Every ono must under-
stand that there is nothing to make the
Republican organization throughout tho
country stronger than it has been IL
never can be 80 compact and strong
again as on the day Grant was lnaugu-
rated. The tendency is toward disin'
tegration. How fast that will go on,
or bow far it will go, cannot be lore
seen. But it is certain that new ques'
tions are to take the place of old ones,
whether there is an entire recast Qi
party lines or not. We here can
not escape the operation OF
these general movements. Up to
the election of Grant there were
Lswerful motives for keeping the Re-
ptblican column firm and compact.
The chief mission of the party has norC
been accomplished, and we are told so by
such papers as the Pittsburgh Gazette.
The motive for party discipline having
ceased in great degree, it is inevitable
that the organization here as well as
elsewhere will grow weaker rather than
stronger. Every one must see the
probability that the disentegration will
90 on much more rapidly than hereto
fore; and that while we have lost four
Thousand of our majority in the last four
years, we may lose that much more IN
the next two, if we fight it out on the
present line. A loosening of party lines
is going on everywhere. The philoso-
ply Of it need not be explained. We
need only recognize the fact.
