that there was not Radical in the entire
South who was qualified to be placed on the
Supreme Bench, and that everybody else
there who was qualified by education and
ability tor such a position. was disqualified
in other respects for such appointment. This
is the worst cut carpet-haggis has vet re-
ceived. and coming as it does from the head
Of the nation may be taken as sufficient
reason why he adheres to the Northern States

Owing to the heavy rains during the past
two days. we are unable to give our readers
the very latest news, as the Stockton and
Sacramento stages both failed to arrive on
Thursday night. The rivers. creeks and
sloughs have been filled to overfowing and in
some instances impossible. At Knights
Ferry it is reported there was some fear oI
the town being swept away, the water in the
Stnnislaus having raised to sucn an alarming
extent, but we hope their fears may prove
groundless. On Wednesday night the citizens
of that place had fires on the hill sides, and
were up all night in anticipation of being
flooded out; but the only damage was to a
couple of houses in Chinatown.

Lass sasarAay,s Meeting.

AT the meeting OF tax payers and citizens
of the county, held on Saturday last in pur-
suance OF Iotice previously given by the Board
of Supervisors, II. B. Mcneil Esq. was
chosen Chairman and C. Burden Esq, Secre-
tary. There vas present about one hundred
and twenty-five persons. On all questions
pertaining to measures required for the i'm
provemeht Of the financial condition Of the
county there appeared entire unanimity. A
resolution was adopted requesting the Board
OF Supervisors to take such action MS they
may deem necessary and proper to secure the
passage Of q Law requiring Stanislaus County
to pay the amount due from that county to
Tuolumne County, and recommending that
the Board make n proper appropriation for
paying actual necessary expenses incurred in
the matter.
Assembly Bill, No 296 providing for the
redemption Of outstanding warrants and to
place the county on a cash basis. which was
introduced by DR.. Eichelroth Feb. 3rd. was
read, as was also Bill prepared by E. A.
Rodgers, Esq. (which Bill ispublished on the
first page to-day.) The provisions of each
bill were fully explained, after which it was
decided unanimously to request our members
of the Legislature to procure the passage OF
he Rodgers Bill as it was called, in place of
that already introduced by DIR. Eichelroth.
A motion prevailed requesting the Legisla-
ture to re-enact laws in force as to the fees of
office prior to the passage of the Fee Bill OF
1868 as far as Tuolumne County is concern
ed.
When the question of County Officers Sala-
ries came up there was mnch interest mani
tested. 1t was contended by some that the
law which is to 60 into effect the first Monday
of next month does not provide adequate pay
for services required of the various officers
particularly for the Assessor and District At
torney. Others thought the pay provided
would be ample. as men could be had for two
dollars and q half day for mining, who were
competent to perform all the duties of county
officers elect who knew what their pay was to
oo ""e" 'ney sought tnelr once were not con-
tent they could resign and let those take their
places who would be satisfied with the paw
provided in the new law. After discussion a
motion recommending that the Salaries of the
County officers of Tuolumne County remain
as fixed by an Act in relation thereto APPROX
ed March 2Sth 1868, was carried.
The officers of the meeting were instructed
to forward to our Senators and Members of
Assembly the proceedings.

FEMALE COMPLAINT,

That claims its victims throughout the
length and breadth of our land.
Many females suffer in some way at each
monthly period; some girls are in great
peril at the commencement Of menstruation,
while older ones dread its decline at the
turn of life" Sometimes the menstrual
flow is too much, or too little, or may be
attended with pain; may be irregular or en-
tireIy checked, or changed in appearance,
attended with other distressing symptoms.
Leucorrhea, or the 'WhItes," frequently
drains the system, or liberation Of the womb
may create pain and cause rapid prostration.
Falling of the womb is an exceedingly
common complaint, giving much trouble
and distress, which, under ordinary treat
ment is difficult to cure
Mysteries. Green Sickness, Irritability of
the Womb, and other serious and fatal com
plants follow the female sex throughout
life. Lives there q medical gentleman who
has or can relieve the fair sex of the above
troubles Not many. Is there no com
bination Of remedial agents that will come
to her rescue ? We answer, YES.

Death is at the Door

In all these complaints the system evi

Churchill, IN his work on Disease of Fee
males, says: Clearing in mind that the
blood is remarkably deficient in red cor
puscles, and the known property of iron to
correct this condition, theory suggests it as
the most to be relied on the best OF which
is the Citrate Citrate of Iron enters
largely into the composition Of English Fe-
male Bitters, combined with powerful vege-
table tonics of rare qualities.
Among the mountains of Tennessee and
the piney woods of Mississippi is found a
certain hard and fIinty root, which has been
in secret use by some old midwives for
many years, possessing magic powers in
regulating and restoring all females suffer-
ing with any affection Of the womb. This
root we have obtained, gave it q fair test IN
our practice and it is now one of the prin
cipIe ingredients in these Bitters. Other
powerful uterine and general tonics also
enter into its composition We also add
Leptandra or Black root, sufficient to act
upon the liver and keep the bowels open.
