THERE is an old catch phrase which
tells Us that "St. Dennis who was
once, if he is not now, the patron saint
of France" walked and talked five hours
after his head was cut off " If we break
this sentence into two parts-putting a
full stop after the word "talked, and
commencing a new sentence with five
hours the mystery solves itself into
mere verbal trick But what shall we say
of a story which purports to have come
from Brazil, and which, it is alleged, on
the authority of L'It0iie, a Florence
journal, was recently printed in the
Inmates de la Medicine ct de Ia chi
r7u.gie EStrdngcre We reproduce this
story elsewhere, and the reader is at lib
erty to believe as much of it as he desires,
or all of it if il so please him. We know
nothing of the character of the medical
journal in which the story is alleged to
have been printed, and hence give the
improbable story as we find it. Among
the charming essays of Charles Lamb is
one "on the inconvenience of being
hanged" There will hardly be any one
to question that it is an exceedingly in
convenient operation, and but few have
survived the work of even a bungling
hangman to tell how it feels. But even
Lamb, humorously exuavagant as some
Of his literary vagaries were, would have
hesltated a long time before writing a
paper on the inconvenience man would
experience in having his head cut off, as
none were known to have survived such
an operation to tell how it felt

Improved Digestion.

All the organs Of the body are, so to speak, th'
pensioners Of the stomach. In that living labora
tory is prepared the nourishment required to sus
tain them, and by the vessels and ducts connected
with the digestive apparatus, that nourishment j.
conveyed to every part Of the system. Upon tn,
quality aud quantity Of tins element OF life, and
upon the manner in which it is distributed and ap,
portioned, physical health mainly depends, and a.
the mind inevitably sympathizes with the body
the yigor Of the one Is absolutely necessary
to the well-being OF the other.
1t is because HOTETTER's STOMACH BITTERs
accomplishes this double object that ii enjoys a
reputation as a preventive and curative never
heretofore attained by any medicinal preparation.
But its direct beneficial operation upon the weak
or disordered stomach is not its sole recommend
ton. Il is the most comprehensive Of all known
remedies. 1t tones, strengthens and regulates the
discharging as well as the assimilating organs
gently moving the bowels, promoting Lealthful
evaporation through the pores, rousing the inert
liver from its torpor, and inducing harmonious and
natural action in the whole animal machinery.
This benign result is not produced by any of the
reactionary drugs which used go lavshly in the
old school practice, founded by Paracesus; but by
mild, safe and agreeable agents intermixed with a
pure and mellow stimulant, which diffuses their
influence through the system and renders their
sanitary properties active and effective.

.tiOn to tell how it felt.

TIE sight of ''Rebeln or a "sympa
thiser," or the reported movement OF
such a parsonage, excites some of the
'1oyal' fraternity TO as frantic a pitch
as piece of red flannel would mad
bull. The Port Huron (Iich) Times,
very 'loyal' concern, chronicles some
recent movements of a dangerous charac,
ter as follows:
Last week Mrs. Martin, a notorious
Rebel woman, crossed the river here with
her effects, and proceeded to Kentucky.
She carried with her household goods to
the value of $4,000 or so, whi:h she i'm
ported as immigrants do their effects.
Last week So, 03S worth of the property
of the notorious Jake Thompson was
brought over for importation, TO go to
Mississippi. Among the goods were
some Rebel flags, a manuscript history of
the attempts to burn New York in 1864,
and other precious articles of like charac-
ter. Mrs Martin also brought back the
stars and bars. ~

THE UNION AND AmERIoAN ANN


THE CONVENTION BILL.
We alluded yesterday to the intimation
Of Senator Cooper of Bedford, that the
editorials of the UNION AND AMERICAN
Of 1861 and the presen! day, upon the
convention bin were inconsistent We
had not then time to examine our files to
substantiate our position by quotations
from former editorials. We have to-day
looked into the matter little, and pro
pose to show our consistency by quota
tons from two of our editorials of Jan
uary, 1861, bearing directly upon this
very subject
1t viii be remembered that the Legisla-
ture in 1861 passed convention bill,
which was submitted TO the people, and
the convention defeated While that
bin was the subject of discussion, we
said owe learn that both Houses
of our General Assembly were
engaged yesterday in an attempt to pre-
scribe rules by which the Convention
should be governed. As matter of
course, the intelligent gentlemen who
were engaged in the discussion k'loa0 that
they have epen less l1Oa0er to dictate TO
the Contention, than they have to say TO
the next Legislature that it should not
repeal the acts or any preceding Legisla-
ture.n
Again, In another editorial we said:
"The Legislature has no right TO say
what the Convention shall or shall not do
The Contention, coming from the peo
pie, Is superior to the LegisIGture.n
1t will thus be seen that Senator Cooper
is as unfortunate in his memory as in his

TIE expenses of taking the testimony
in the Louisiana contested election cases
viii reach twenty thousand dollars. This
expenditure might have been saved, for
Of course the Radical contestants win get
in. That was q foregoue CONCLUSION. It
is already believed in Washington, from
what is known of The individual opinions
of the majority Of the subcommittee,
they viii recommend that the Republican
candidates receive their seats. The State
elections being over, we see that the Radi-
Gals are at their old tricks of proposing,
Just before the meeting of Congress, 10
count out Democratic members. Foster,
Democrat, is 20 be counted out in Penn
sylvania, where he received foTty-One
majority, and several of the Southern
Democratic members. This is the old
trick against Stockton, VOORHEES,, Brooks,
and many others, all of whom have been
returned by largely increased votes. Such
base counting and cheating make free
franchise contemplate.

The Providence Journal, The leading
Radical organ in Rhode Island, sssnpposes
that no one is disappointed at the New
York election, " and gives as reason that
with the power in the cities of New
York and Brooklyn of giving unlimited
majorities, with some thousands of re
peaters' employed to vote as often as they
can, and with a judicial system admins
tered expressly to maintain fraud and to
protect crime, there could be no other re-
suit" No one disappointed exclains !
the New York World Why, says that
paper, there is not Radical in the State
but expected his party to secure ma
jority in each branch of the Legislature
And as to the majorities in New York
city and Brooklyn, they contributed but
little TO electing the Democratic candidates
for State officers, and not at all to the
election of Democratic Senators and
Assemblymen outside of these cities.
Last year, on the vote for Grant and Sey-
mour, the majorities in the two cities
named, compared with those in the State
outside of them, stood thus:
New York and Kings counties Seymour 49,. q, TO9
Rest Of the State (arantl 627OS
Total majority for Seymour, 10000
Comparing the same majorities at the
late election the result is as follows
New York and Kings counties (Nelson) $50. So 4O
Rest of the State (siegel). S7153
Total majority for Nelson, .............. 1887
Had the Radicals outside of New York
York and Kings counties rolled up the
same majority that they did last year,
they would have carried the late election
by 1928 majority. The Democratic
victory, therefore, is due not so much TO
the vote of New York and Brooklyn as to
the noble Democratic gains throughout
the State. The fact is, the farmers are
becoming Democrats so rapidly that by
another year the Democracy hope to carry
the State outside of the two counties
named, though the latter viii be counted
upon for their usual handsome maiorities.

AFTER THE RATTLE.

According to the Springfield Repu6H-
can, one of the leading organs of the
Radical party in Massachusetts, the defeat
of its party in New York is Sowing to the
corruption among Republican members of
the MISUNDERSTANDING last year in
the election of Fenton TO the United States
Senate. The Republican says "a party
of great moral ideas, such as the Republi-
cans mean theirs shall be, cannot afford to
debauch its management as has been done
both in New York and Pennsylvania of
late years III. G." is also disguised
with the Radical party in New York, and
this wholesome fit finds utterance in the
New York Tribune of the 9th inst. in
Characteristic plainness,. Of speech. That
paper is sick of good many men belong
ngtoits party-if it is not sick of the party
itself, for not electing its editor ''H. G., "
Comptroller The defeat of the Republi-
can State ticket is referred to va
riOus causes, chief among which
was the indifferent character of
more than one of the local candidates.
Some of these, we are told, "Were enough
TO turn the stomach of horse. Others
(alas for Radical integrity , were thought
up 10y the Tammany ring" That's how
it was in the city. In the country, the
Tribune goes on TO say:
1.-THE rural brethren had to throttle the
corrupt Legislators who for years have been
trading upon and trading away the good
name of the Republican party; and puri-
fication, though necessary, is seldom a
joyous, eXhilarating, fattening process.
On the contrary, the fiat refusal 10 nomi-
nate, distinctly on the assumption that
they were thieves, nine -tenths of the cor
rupt rascals who disgraced us at Albany
last winter, naturally cost us a good many
votes but to have attempted to whitewash
and uphold them would have cost US far
more. They would not, as a body, get
out of the way, so they had TO he kicked
out; and they revenged themselves ON
our ticket generally, but, especially on our
candidate for Comptroller, whom they
held especially responsible for their expo
sure and downfall .

LAST week a man in New York killed a
lodger in his house, and dangerously
wounded his own wife, asserting as an ex-
cuse that he had discovered them in illicit
intercourse. But the testimony of disin-
terested Witnesses utterly disproyes the
statement made by the assassin. The
Philadelphia Age says with biting sar-
casm, Probably he merely wanted to get
rid of his wife, with the Interior hope that
General Grant might send him to repre-
sent our country and its morality in Spain
or elsewhere The encouragement to
vice afforded 10y this administration in the
appointment of Sickles, Ashley, Butter

THE CONVENTION BILL.

The House of Representatives, as we
think very properly, on yesterday refused
TO concur in the amendment of the Senate
to reduce the number of delegates from
100 We are satisfied that if little time
were given, so that an expression of the
opinion of the people could be heard, it
would be so Overwhelmingly in favor the
larger number that the Senate would not
hesitate to recede from its amendment.
The short time elapsing before the day of
election increases the necessity of having
the number fixed by the House. If there
were but two delegates from each Senate
rial district, not only would several coun-
ties be without direct representation, but
the candidates would not be able to min
gle and confer with the people of the
several counties of their district sufficient
" to ascertain their wishes On many of
the questions which will come before the
Convention. The people have never
thought of having a less number of
delegates than the Joint number
of the two houses They have
been casting about and determining
upon proper candidates. They have
these points settled in their minds.
Hence we are convinced that they would
not be content with less number than
one hundred. The arguments urged by
the various Representatives who spoke
yesterday against a concurrence with the
Senate amendment, are to our mind con-
elusive We earnestly hope that the
Senate. win consent to the passage of the
bill in auch shape as viii be most accepta-
bic to the entire people, both in the large
and small counties
We therefore urge the rejection of the
Senate amendment.
