The Organization of tho House.

The Organi ration of the House.
Mr.. W. NJ. WEIGH, the candidate OF
the liberals, was yesterday elected
Speaker of the House. The liberals
who voted fer him were Messrs. BAL
LARD Of Monroe, BOWER of Putnam,
LAMoN of Berkeley and WELLS of Tyler,
These with the Democrats, twenty-four
In number, who preferred Mr.. WEIGH
to Mr.. PUTNAM, the exceedingly Radical
candidate of the proscriptives, made mp
Mr.. WEIGHS supporters, twenty-eight
In all. We understand the liberals claim
that had it been deemed necessary, at
least two moro votes could have been
had for their candidate, but of this we
know nothing save what we
hear. After the fight was over,
the "lst-ups" seemed delighted with
the success of their representative,
rs indeed they had reason to be, for the
stand they took was one that reflected
great credit upon them and deserved to
succeed. As was natural, the "bitter
enders" were good deal mortified over
their failure to defeat Mr.. WEIGH, but
as they, like the Democrats, have not a
majority within themselves we do not
see why they should have been so sadly
disappointed. The liberals had "the
balance of power" and used it, as they
had perfect right to do, for the cleo
ton of one of their own numbers, as
against the proscriptive candidate, in
opposition to whose views they were
elected.
A number of the liberals, it is true,
did not vote for Mr.. WEIGH. Upon the
general principle that each is the judge
of his own business, we do not choose
to find fault with their action. They
doubtless have good and sufficient rea.
sons for the manner in which they have
cast their votes, of which they are
ready to allow their constituents to
Judge. But now that the organization
is completed, and as allegiance to no
party can bind them in the matters of
legislation to which they were chosen
to attend, they will, beyond question,
give their hearty support TO the "let
mp" measures on which they took issue
with the proscriptives. In so doing
they have the power not only to make
their influence felt in this Legislature,
but to win honorable regulations for all
time to come.

We learn that the "bitter enders" are
highly incensed OF their "loyap selves
for nominating the candidate for Speak
or who was beaten by WEIGH, of Min
eral, yesterday. But how could they
have improved the nomination. Mr..
Corr, who was prominent in connec-
ton with the Speaka6ship, declined a
nomination, and as nobody else but
PUTNAM was deemed available the case
could not have been bettered. Regrets
are useless. Let the lachrymose demon
strations be suspended.

terrogations. But in making these un-
kind suggestions the Governor certainly
overlooked his previous declaration
that 'ths people of no State are better
disposed or more lsw-abiding than our
own" This statement of fact is the
best REPUTATION of the unjust though in
direct charges which follow.
With the exception of its political
passages, there are few portions of
the message which grave objection can
be raised. As whole it is interesting
and. unless its great length prevent,
will be very generally read.

A Cincinnati dispatch of yesterday
says that George Seel, german, under.
took to take forty-one pints indicated
warm water in less than twenty-four
hours, to cure rheumatism. he began
at seven last evening. At twelve o'clock
he had taken twenty-nine pints. He
died this morning. A man named
Ascherborn, who prescribed for him, is
arrested. He says it is receipt pro-

SPECIAL notice s.
The Complexion.

Nothing is more essential to beauty than a
clear and beautiful complexion. Any disease
Of the skin in the way of pimples, blotches, &C.,
defaces the most regular features and detracts
from the otherwise most captivating form.
These skin diseases all result from some impu.
rity in the blood and this impurity must be re-
moved before nature will properly do its work.
"IRISIN," the great blood purifier, acts directly
on the blood and is the best remedy and anti
dote for poisons in the vital current ever dis
covered. For diseases peculiar to women it has
no equal. Try it. decls-lmdAw

Bazaine's capitnlation has excited an intense
Indignation At Tours.
The Constitutional appeals 10 Gambetta 10
accept an armistice.
Gambetta is still himself. He once again
calls the capitula,ion Of Metz a crime, and
calls down retribu,ion upon the treason that
surrendered the city.
King William, in consideration Of recent
victories has conferred upon Fritz and Frcde-
rick Charles the basons Of Field Marshals.
These are the first instances Of snch appoint
ments in the family history Of the occupants
Of the Prussian throne.
Lyons still continues her preparations for
defence.
The Prussians will open the bombardment
of Paris with $50 seige guns.
France is reported to be q unit on the SEN
,iment that the war mus. be continued until
Prussia tenders honorable terms Of peace.
The Empress Eugene has arrived al VIII.
hemshohe. She visited the Emperor in com.
pany with Bazaine on Sunday.
It is reported that every night the Prussian'
commence a bridge over the Seine, which the
French destroy in the morning.
Gambetta has issued a proclamation, init
mating plainly that the %so'aiers at Metz protes
agbinst the cowardly capitulation Of Metz
and refuse TO be- bound by it.

Journalism and POlemics.

Politics, formerly understood as the science
Of government. have become in our day, a
filthy trade. And if that trade can be made by
fair means or foul, 10 active fortune, honor,
and power, its reckless and corrupt professors
care little what else it may or may not be
capable Of accomplishing. AS TO conscience, it
has disappeared from the politicians vocabu-
larry ; and if by force Of circumstances exterior
TO the protested politicians narrow sphere, it
sometimes obtrudes itself, i, is con,emp,uously
thrust aside or trodLen under foot. Shame,
itself is vailed or dazed in the o~verpowering
lustre of the Dollar!
While politics were %lcgitimalely handled
ralism was that truly sublime sciences docile
and worthy handmaid-an auxiliary in the
public service. But since under Radical
management the political science has lost all
its original nobility; has become vile, impure,
ignoble, immoral, and degraded so also has
journalism become %servile, cringing, base,
toad-eatiug; and instead Of being a power in
the State for the encouragement Of State and
individual virtue, has shameIess'y fallen into
the servitude of lying, Misrepresentation, and
all manner of iniquily.
1t has been too often and too clearly proved
to be disputed, that the Radical Governments
State AMI Federal-buy their miserable
and dsbased supporters. and pay for them by
money, and by Offices which have money in Them.
How then is it TO be supposed that the jour-
nalism which supports such corruption, and
essays to Justify the vile traffic, can have
any solicitude, or indeed any taste, for the
principles that undsrlie all justice and liberty,
and on which the moral and intellectual as
we'll as the physical freedom of the human
race, to be effective, must repose?
This journalism, slave of the master tina,
pays for lis; slave of the War Moths that find
every day, the means Of degrading it more and
more, works in the yoke with a willingness
that shows a relish for its own lebasement. l
is deferred by no consideration Of meanness
no calumny is foreign TO it; no basenes!
arrests it ; no infamy can raise a blush on itt
hardened cheek 1t is as the prostitute wilt
does not hesitate TO expose in public, to The
scorn Of honest people. the gew- gsaws which
she owes to the corruption Of human natur.
and to her abasement. Does she not off
