As soon as an article purporting to be Of
utility has been tested, and its merits en-
dorscd by public opinion, tinprincipled
parties cndcavor to replenish their deple-
ted purses by counterfeiting, and substita-
tinga spurious for the genuine article.
Some time since, mercury, in the disguise
of pills, powders, &C., was given for all
diseases of the stomach and liver, while
quiuine was freely administered for the
chills. At length HOSrETTERS
STOMACH BITTERs made it's advent,
and an entire new system of healing was
inaugurated. The beneficial effects Of this
valuable preparation were at once ac-
knowledge, and mineral poisons suffered
to sink into that Obscurity to which an
enlightened age has consigned them.
There have bccnmany spurious Bittcrs
dala,ed upon the community, which after
trial, have been found perfectly worthless.
while HOSTETTER'S has proved a bles-
sing to thousands, who owe to it their res
toration to health and happiness.
For m, my years we have watched the
steady progress of HOSTETrER'S
STOMACH BITrERs in public estimation
and its bcnefcicnt effects as a cure for all
complaints arising from the stomach, of a
.,,vruld nature, and we are free to say that
it can be relied upon as certain leliefand
remedy. It's proprietors have made the
aIoye rrenarntiOn after Years of careful
study and sitting, and arc now reapins
the reward, claimed by this valuable spe-
cific, and which they SO richly merit. II
is the only preparation Of the kind that il
reliable iii all cases, and it therefore dc
| mands the attention Of the afflicted.

PROGRESS OF THE REV0LU-
TION.

The result of tho recent election in
California is another proof of the great
reaction in the popular mind against
the revolutionary principles of the
Radical party. The State voted for
Grant by largo majority, and yet
within ten months it has turned COM
plete summersault and elected the
Democratic ticket on straight Demo-
cratic platform. Three-fourths of the
members of the Legislature are Demo-
Gratis, a United States Senator is Sc
cured, and the Fifteenth Amendment
hopelessly defeated. The Golden
State has covered herself with glory
The voice of the far West responds to
the voice of the far East, just uttered
in thunder tones on the soil of tho old
Dominion.
The revolution, as far as it has gone,
is most remarkable one. Less than
a year ago Gen. Grant was borne into
Office on wave of popularity almost
unprecedented in the political history
of the country. Since that time the
Radical party, has been gradually 10
sing its strength in the States which
voted for him, until there is now eve-
ry probability that he will soon be left
without supporters except in the ultra
Radical States. In Virginia the use OF
the Federal bayonets was insufficient
to keep that State loyal to Radical
principles. In Tennessee, one of the
most oppressed of the Southern States,
an immense majority was given against
the proscriptive principles of the Rad
ical party, and loud voice spoken in
favor of q restoration of the right OF
suffrage to those who had been 80 un-
justly deprived of it. Even Brownlow
has been carried away by tho popular
current. Soon Texas and Mississippi,
and we trust Ohio and Pennsylvania,
! will be added to the Democratic col
umn. q.
This revulsion against Radicalism is
susceptible of the easiest explanation
In order to secure victory the Radi-
calls seized on the military reputation
of General Grant and made him tho
standard bearer of his party. Install
ed in an office for which he has not a
single qualification, it was natural thai
he should make failure, and, by the
breaking down of his administration
break down the party with. which his
name was identified. He surrounded
himself with weak and ultra advisers,
who stifed all sense of justice in his
| breast, and induced him to break al
the fair promises he made at the tim.
of his election. Instead Of restoring
peace and harmony between the two
sections he has done everything to dis.
turb them. He has set himself mp as .
party leader and has no more lofty ide:
of political party than to have it res
con the animosities engendercd by ;
bloody civil contest"
| An administration SO bigoted ant
narrow minded must soon go down. 4
party based on principles so repugnan
to the spirit of the age, must soon g
to pieces. 1t rests with the Democrat
ic party to say when such a happ.
contamination shall be brought abonn..
A Democratic victory everv,T nero thi
Fa!. will accomplish the work.

INCOMPETENT SwITcHMEN.-Near
New York, lately there was a railroad
accident, which in some Of its fea-
lures was not unlike that which re>
Gently occurred on the Western
Pacific Railroad. There was loss of
life, but not to such an extent as was

employed by the company after the
terrible accident Of which be was the
