The Democratic party established
nearly all the precedents for the
government Of the United States.
How does it happen they never
thought of taxing Federal bonds
until after they lost the power to
tax them? Democrats when in
power established the theory that
governments are supported by tax
ing the property and earning of
the citizens, not its own credit.
They knew we'll that il they taxed

The Minister to England.

The President has at last termi
nated the suspension in whick he
had placed the English mission, by
nomin ating to it Hon OLIVER F.
MORTON, of Indiana. In this he
has chosen a man to whom the in
terests Of the country can be safely
confided. Governor MORTON is q
man of well-founded decision of
character, of strong good sense. of
experience in public aff,irs, and OF
through application to the bust
ness he takes in hand. 1. will be
generally recognized that of all OF
those who have been named in this
connection, the President could
not have found q man of better
capacity for this position than the
one he has chosen. The nomina-
tion will, we presume. have the
unanimous confirmation Of the
Republicans in the Senate, and we
doubt if the Democrats will not
also approve it.-Cin. Gazette.

Vice President Colfax will Retire
from Public Life.

In answer to some suggestions
as to the propriety of running Mr..
Colfax for Vice President in 1872,
he thus writes to the Brooklyn
Union:
81 thank you for your good
wishes in my behalf, but intend
with this term to close my public
life absolutely. I will then have
had eighteen years of continuous
service at Washington, mostly on
a stormy sea. Long enough for
any one, and my ambitlon is all
gratifed and satisfied General
Grant will doubtless be renomina-
ted, and think should be. My
article and speeches show my
faith in him and my regard for
him. but the people will want
some Eastern or Southern Vice
President, and should have one.
I shall leave public life voluntar-
lily and without regret, and ex-
pect to go into active business.
My friends here all know of this
determination, and l assure you
it is no pretense, but reality, you
will see. This is the last cam
paign in which I shall participate,
and feel as happy at the pros
pective release from the exaction,
cares misrepresentation and ex-
citem ents of political life as the
student who is about to graduate
and go forth from the walls in
which he has been for years, free
from professors and critics.
When it is all over you concede
that it is a wise determination"
This determination will be
heard with regrea. by the thous
ands Of friends the Vice President
has gained in all parts of .he
Union. The very truest and firm
est kind of a Republican, yet his
fairness as speaker Of the House
during the period of trouble, and
his general affability as man,
have gained him the esteem and
the admiration Of tens of thous-
ands Of men who will feel deep
regret at his determined retire
ment. Such men can lily be
spared from the councils of the
Nation.

Is Tea Culture a Failure in Cal.
ifOrnia
from the Alta California j..

1t will be remembered that two
months ago we reported, from inspection,
that success had not attended the tea
pla ants at Calistoga A party interested
gave different narrative. The variance
grew out of difference of judgme mt as to
the degree of prostration from which
such plants may or may not recover.
Now we have corroberative testimony
confirming our judgment. The editor
of the Vallejo newspaper has just exam
ined the plantation, aud pronounces it
complete failure He says only few
plants are alive, and they are sickiy and
unpromising. The editor pronounces
against the locality But that is not in
iault. The plants reached there in sink
ing condition, having lain long time in
our custom house after the trying voy-
age from Japan n-several weeks we are
told. Had they been destined for Calis>
toga, and planted there without mnreas-
onabie delay, it would have been fair
test But they were sent here for sale,
and finding no market, they were sent to
Caiistoga in hopes of saving them. In
this there is disappointment. But the
land and the climate may be all right for
tea plants properly delivered.

SCENE AT THE BURNT DISTRICT OF
OTTAWA.
Another correspondence Of the
Witness writes:
I had thought that no new
scenes at fires could surprise those
I had already encountered during
my thirty years experience Of
them: bat my observations in the
Ottawa district for the last few
days. in fact in as many hours as
former years, I encountered sights
that for misery and desolation
exceeded all I have previously
experienced. Toward Bells Cor
ners, for miles, not a habitation
was to be found. At one place I
observed man sitting on a char
red pine log, with flannel shirt,
pants ana shoes only, no hat or
covering for his head; his story
was short:
"a few hours ago. said he
pointing to the smouldering en-
bers. sthere stood three barns, two
Of them filled with grain; there
stood the cow-shei, and there the
stables. Now you can see the
carcasses OF eight cows, forty
sheep, and nine hogs" Then,
turning round, and pointing across
the road, he said: s'There stood
our home; now all is gone. the
fruits of thirty years hard labor.
In yonder swamp are my wife and
BARNS, with no more clothes than
now cover myself; but, thank
God. our lives are all spared, and
within this breast is left good
Scottish heart; SO I know we
shall not want; but the danger Of
the swamp still taking fire troubles
me. l have begun q sort of pit
to get into as . last resort, in case
the swamp should take fire.

d. T. HELMBoLD, Druggist:

IL - r
DEAR SIR-I have been a sufferer, for up
ward OF twenty years, with gravel, bladder,
and kidney affections, during which time |
have used various medicinal preparations,
and been under the treatment of the most
eminent Physicians, experiencing but little
relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively
advertised, / consulted W ith nv family phys
ician in regard to using your Extract Buchu.
l did this because hae used all kinds of
advertised remedies, and had found them
woi thless, and, some quite injurious in fact,
l despaired of ever getting well, and determ-
ined to use no remedies hereafter unless l
knew of the ingredients. II was this that
prompted me to use your remedy. AS you
advertised that it was composed Of buchu,
cubebs, and juniper berries, it occurred to me
and my physician as An excellent combina-
ton. and, with his advice, after an exauina-
tion of the article, and consulting again with
the druggist, concluded to try it. l com.
menced its use about eight months ago, at
which time was confined to my rooEs. From
the first bottle was astonished and gratified
at the beneficial effect, and after using it three
weeks, was able to walk out. felt much like
writing you a full statement of my case at
that time. but thought my improvement
might only he temporary, and therefore con-
cluded to defer and see if it would effect a
perfect cure, knowing then it would be Of
greater value to you, and more satisfactory
70 me.
lam now able to report that a cure is effec-
ted after using the remedy for five months.
have not used any now for three months,
and feel as we'll in all respects as ever did.
Your Buchu being devoid of any unpleas-
ant taste and odor, nice tonic and invigora-
tor of the system, do not mean to be with
