The vote was about 300, lighter than at the
Presidential and GubernatoriRl elections of 1868;
but the Republicans, it will be seen, elected all
the candidates on their city ticket excepting
Marshal, for which office the Democratic aspi-

the Republican majority was much larger, all
the wards, as well as the city at large, being
carried by that party. In the North ward, this

FAST LIVING AND IT'S CoNsEQuENcEs.-
When fast life has undermined the strength
destroyed the appetite, impaired the digestion,
and stolen the hue of health from the cheek
when the hand rembles, the spirits droop,
and the whole physical and mental organiza-
ton languishes, is it possible to repair the
evil and restore the dilapidated system to full
health and vigor! We answer that it is
Hundreds of cases have been cited thousands
might be cited, in which this regeneration
has been accomplished by the regular and
persistent use Of Plantation Bitters Absti-
nence from the indulgences which have
wrought the mischief is, Of course, one of the
means of restoration. But it is not sufficient
alone. The consequences remain after the
cause has been abandoned. A wholesome
and genial tonic is absolutely necessary to
rouse the corporal and mental energies from
their state of collapse. This good work it is
the mission of the Plantation Bitters to per-
form. But no other stimulant must be ia
ken.

County OTganiZa ton,


We noticed in our difersnt exchanges that
the officers Of the conservative organizations
in the various counties OF the State are maxi
ing preparation for their reorganization
We have been rather aslonished that the Su
pcrinendeut 0 f the organization of this coun-
ty has not made call for meeting of its
officers, TO determine what may be necessary
for its more effective organization, and deter
mined programme for he coming campaigns.
1t is true thai the fill strength of the party
may moi be necessary to insure a conservative
victory, in the Valley counties. yet, We do
believe in constantly keeping hefo1e the people
the necessity of perfect and thorough organ
ization, ii for 20 other purpose thanto prevent
a luIe-warmness and Indifference in the party,
We do know that the Radical organization is
thorough and complete. and constant efforts
are being made to perpetuate It's organization
and we hold ii necessary to preserve our
own organization for future contingencies.
We would suggest therefore that the conserv-
tive Superintendent publish a call for
meeting of TIE officers Of the organization,
and let theri determine whether any action
is necessary to be done for the interest of the
conservative party,
