The Prescott correspondent of the
Ellsworth Herald, est. Croiz," gives his
opinion relative to the late removal, as
follows:
Quite breeze has grown up here be-
cause of the removal of Flint, of the
Prescott JOURNAL, who is universally ad-
mitted to be first rate officer, snd APP
pointment of Mathews, Of Hudson, a
gentleman who will no doubt make a
good officer, and who should not be held
responsible for this matter, as Deputy
United States Revenue ASSESSOR. 1t is
thought here that it was done because
Flint, in common with every voter in
Prescott except one, refused to support
Comstock Tor senator, last fall; in fact,
it is asserted that Hold. Taylor told Flint
last fall that if he did not hoist Com
stocks name at the head of his columns
and advocate his election instead Of Fl.
fields, he (Hod.) would have him Flint
removed, and that the removal is made
because of Flint's refusal to be governed.
LII tnlS True, u 10 "u un"oieny attetiiPt W
muzzle the press and deserves the sever
est condemnation from the community,
for if few men can thus presume to
control the very landmark of liberty, it
is bad state of things and should be
Immediately spurned down; be this as it
may, certain it is, that the citizens are
stopping both the Star and Times of
Hudson, and the La Crosse Leader.

A BIC MIsTAKE.-Lute Taylor, as
SCISSOR OF tbe 9th district, has discharged
r. j. Flint, Of the Prescott JOURNAL,
who wM deputy in Pierce county, and
appointed q st. Croix county man in his
place. No charge is made against
Flint's capacity or .iutegrity,-all of
which is fully conceded; but the trouble
is, Flint wouldn't be party to, nor sub
nit to one of the most disgraceful frauds
in the last senatorial convention held in
that district that ever was perpetrated.
We hope the machinery of the federal
offices is not to be used as iii instrument
for the punishment of men who will not
submit to fraud and corruption. If this
is TO be, and the discharge Of Flint on
this very ground looks mighty like it,
the first result that is likely to follow will
be the dismissal of the very men who
use the machinery of party for such pur-
poses. Hadn't Congressman Washburn
and Assessor Taylor better stop mo-
ment and see il such action is defensibls.
We us MIR. WIS name because Mr.. I.
is an sppointee of his, and retains the
office of assessor through his favor

R. J. Flint, of the Prescott Journal,
has been removed from the office of As.
sistan, Assessor of Internal Revenue
and J. C. Mathews, of Hudson, appoin.
ted in his stead. Mr.. Flint has proven
himself an able and efficient officer and
we believe retires with the good will OF
those with whom he has had occasion to
transact business connected with that Of
flee. The cause of Mr.. Flint's removal
is generally assigned to his refusal to aid
the udson-Tay lor Comstock clique in
running the Senatorial mill so that Com
stock might I" go through "it and "drap
out" at Madison instead of Hudson
If so, the maxim Of Pierce County's 'in-

ably be increased 10 more than a round

Mr.. Flint, editor of the Prescott Jour
nal, has been removed from the Office of
deputy s.. Assessor, agreesbly with
the threats made by Taylor. Dale Il Co.
when Ms. Flint, as delegats TO the SEN
atorisl District Convention, stood by
Sam. Fifsld, the nominee of the con.
vention, instead of John Comstock, whom
Horace Tsylor's crowd tried to get nom-
mated. 1t will remembered that when
AIR. Flint and others refused to the bal
lot stealing operation which deprived Mr..
fitield of bis fairly won majority, as al
legged in the affidavits of delegates who
cast a majority of the votes in the cou-
yention for Mr. Fifeld, Mr.. Flint was
loudly threatened with removal from Of
flee unless he consented 10 tho fraud.
He maintsined his integrity and lost his
Office. II General Washburn is prepar-
ed to endorse or permit such an atrocious
act by any Federal officer in this district
as the removal Of Deputy for such a
cause, be will mar the honest record of
bis public life, and mus. take the conse-
quences. The attempt TO deprive Mr..
Fifeld Of his nomination was a glaring
and outrageous fraud, and any public
man VINO will excuse or sustain it will
forfeit tie respect of the community

Meets with GREAr Srccrss In the ernE Of
ISEiSES on THE NERVOUS SYSTEM,

Almost nine-tenths Of our people suffer from
nervous exhaustion, and are, therefore, liable
to its |concomitant evils of mental depression,
confused ideas, softening of the brain, insanity,
and complete breaking down Of the general
health. Thousands are suffering to-day with
hrokcn-down nervous systems, and, unfortu-
nately, tobacco, alcohol, late hours, ovcr-work
mental and phyacall, are causing diseases OF
the nervous system to increase nj a fearful ratio.
The symptoms to which diseases of the ner.
vens system give rise, may be stated rs follows,
A dull, heavy feeling in the head, sometimes
more or less severe pain or headache: period.
cal headache, dizziness, noises or ringing In
the head confusion Of ideas; temporary loss
of memory detection of spirits; starting during
sleep; bad dreams hesitation in answering
questions; dullncss Of hearing twitchinr Of
the face and arms, &C., which if not promptly
treated, lead to paralysis, delirium, Insanity,
impotency, appoplexy, &c, &c,

EASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND

Persons u~uacqaain,ed with the structure and
functions Of The Kidneys cannot estimate the
Importance Of their healthy action.
Regular and sufficient action Of the Kidneys
Is as important, nay, more $40, than regularity
Of the bowels. The kidneys remove from the
blood those ettte matters which, ifpctmitted TO
remain, would speedily destroy life. A total
suppression Of the urinary discharges will oc-
casion death from ,hirty-siS to forty. eight hours
When the Urine is yoided in small quan,i
ties at the time, or when there is A disposition
TO uriuatc more frequently than natural, or when
the urine Is high colored or scalding with
weakness in the small Of the back, it should
not he tritled with or delayed, hut Koskoo
should be takenat once 10 remedy the difficulty

Most Of the diseases Of the bladder originate
from ihoseot the kidneys the urine being inn
perfectly secreled ia the kidneys, prove irrita-
ting to the bladder and urinary passages
When We r~ccullect that medicine never reach
esthe kidIsys except through the general cir
c%ulaiion ofthe blood, we can see how necessary
it is to keep the Fountain of Life Pure.
