RECONSTRUCTION IN RoME.-Now that the
Eternal city IS to become the capital OF the
Kingdom of Italy, great improvements have
already been begun with that purpose in view.
A correspondent of the Troy Times writes that
large preparations are being made for the re-
ception OF the Offices and officers of the govern
ment. Converts and palaces are losing their
walled and princely locks and taking on the
air OF business The post-ofice has been NOV.
ed INTO better quarters, and work is pushed for
ward rapidly on the new railway station. An
income tax is decided upon,lo apply to foreign
ers as well as citizens, and the Romans are not
well pleased with the eertaiLty of Increased
taxation for the support OF united Italy," The
government is painfully aware that "Roa for
the capital means money as well as senti-
melt. For some time there will be deficit of
several millions in the Treasury, on account of

nominee for Governor of the Republican State
Convention of Ohio, yesterday, is native of
New Hampshire, served an apprenticeship

law IN Cincinnati in 1858. On the breaking
out OF the war, he recuited the 39th Regiment
OF Ohio Infantry, and was at the head of his
regiment on every march and in every battle

Gen. Noyes has high reputation as an able
political speaker and is generally popular aud
highly esteemed as a man of ability. Having
a brilliant war record and a nomination by ac-

Railroads, Insurance Companies and the
National Wealth,


We do not know how the wseacres who
insist that the wealth of the United States is
very slowly increasing, can account for the
prodigious development of our railroad sys
tenn since the war. Within the six years of
peace we have built more than 1900 miles
OF railroad, at cost, probably, of more than
$50 millions, and we are now building and
likely to build at the rate of 5000 miles year,
which will cost from $50 TO 200 millions an
nually. At the same tine we are paying in
terest on the public debt at the rate Of 112
millions year, and the principal itself at the
rate of nearly 100 millions yearly. If these
expenditures do not indicate great and in
credslhS wealth, then there is no purchase in
money.
"A glance at our insurance business leads to
the same conclusion. The life insurance
companies now owe policies which. IN the
aggregate, amount to 1000 millions of dollars
and upon which the annual premiums maid
ey our people are nearly 145 millions. The
nre insurance policies are four times as large.
ana amount to $S,000,000,0000, and the mar,
me llsks, not separately reported, are perhaps
as great as t!e life risks A country which
can afford to insure its life and nronertv for
ten or twelve billions of dollars Is NOT what
yo, would call poor country exactly: and
these aggregates have probably doubled with
in the last ten years.
Careful statisticians now estimate tho on
nual income of the people of the United
states at 000,000,0 900, or more than twice
the whole national debt. This would give an
average income for each person of about $13O
a year, which does not seem excessive But
i've Ne ana twenty years ago, our income was
@ put apout hall as much, and, at the present
!ate @ Oh increase, it will be some $1,000 100000
ID 1850. If we build 5000 miles of railroad
year, we thereby add to the national income

editorial statement that the circulation of the

that our circulation is falling off, it is either

PORTLAND.

Ir is quite evident that our townsman,
Charles 7. Kimbal, Esq, will be selected TO
lead the forlorn hope OF the Democracy in
September by the Augusta Convention. MIR.
Kimball stands better with the business peo.
Pile eof the State than any ether candidate the
party can present for the reason that he is
better known as an energetic and skiiltul
manufacturer and a prompt and honorable
business man than as a Democratic politician.
Democracy in Mr.. Kimball is one of those
traits in certain good men that cannot be ac-
counted for on any other ground than par
donable vanity ty lead in a party whose hope
less minority will never endanger the necessi-
ty of holding office to the neglect of business.
This may not be very patriotic; but in this
age there are patriots enough OF that class.
There is no good reason why Mr.. Kimball
should not accept the Democratic nomination
any more than that Mr. Horace Greeley
should cultivate turnips at the cost of a dol
lar head. Mr.. Kimball probably regards
such position as little luxury that his
thrifty and well conducted affairs can justify.
As a Democrat, Mr.. Kimball belongs to the
progressive section, so long as its progression
does not pecessitate the selling out of the
party name and leaders. Mr.. Kimball was
hostile to the attempt of the office seekers OF
the party and the Argus to sell out the Or
ganization last year 10 so called Peoples
movement Indeed it may be inferred that
Mr.. Kimball prefers party whose traditions
will always secure it respectable minority
in point of numbers.
During the war Mr.. Kimbal came out as a
war democrat and voted, it is said, for Gen.
Jameson, and was generally too much of a
patriot to please the Bourbons of the party
who have never forgiven hin for some plain
language at that time. After making several
inc ffectual attempts to commit the Democra-
cy of the county to a war policy, he rather fell
into the rear and followed the party as did
many others, Since. the war he has been a
Democrats and can as well stand under the false
flag of the new departure as of any the party
leaders.
1t is asserted that Mr.. Kimball has not so
conducted himself in the past as to secure the
appreciation of assumed party leaders in this
city, and this fact may account for the tardy
support of the argus, or erather for the fact
that that organ has not given him favorable
notice. 1t is also rumOred that the party
magnates propose TO let him run that he may
be consigned to the party cemetery and thus
be out-of the way.

What s the rational mode OF procedure in cases OF
general debility and nervous prOstraton? Does not
reason tell us that iudicious stimulation is required
10 resort to violent purgaton in such case as alb.
surd as 1t would be to bleed starving man. Yet it
is done every day. Yes, this stupid and unphiIo-
sophica. practice is continued in the teeth of the
great fact that physical weakness, with all the ner-
vous disturbances that accompany it, is more GER
tainly and rapidly relieved by Hostetters Stomach
Btters than by any other medicine at present
known, 1t is true that general debility is often at
tended with torpidty or irregularity OF the bowels
and that this symptom must not be overlooked But
while the discharge o. the waste matter of the sys-
tenn is expedited regulated, its vigor must be re-
cruited. The BitteIs do both. They combine aper-
lent and antibili0us properties with extraordinary
tonic power. Even while removing obstIuctions
from the bowels they tone and invigorate those or
gans. Through the stomach, upon which the great
vegetable specific acts directly, it gives healthy and
permanent impetus to every enfeebed junction. Di-
gestion is facilitated the faiterng circulation reau
lated the blood reinforced with a new accession of
the almentary principle, the nerves braced, and all
the dormant powers of the system reused into
healthy action; not spasmodically, us would be the
case it mere stimulent were administered but for
acontinuance. 1t s In this way that such extraor-
binary changes are wrought in the condition of the
ieeble EN- acated and invalds BY the use of
this wonderful corrective, alternative and tonic

print by order special request envelopes, bear
ing the name and post office address OF the
writer, but the occupation. as merchant" !"
"claim agent, attorney at law" etc. will be
rigidly excluded. This prohibition does not
apply to cases where the address of the person
or firm necessarily indicates the employment

nor does it prohibit persons from having envel-
opes printed or stamped in any manner they
desire at their own expense.
