Mont cenis Tunnel.

The Mont Gents Tunnel, which has just
been formally opened, is seven aud fonr-fifths
miles long, and runs through alternate layers
of schist, limestone, and gypsum. S.4s0 feet
below the crest of the mountain. Its COM
pletion gives a direct line Of railway from
Calais, on the Straits Of Dover, through South
ern France, to Brlndisi, on the Adriatic. The
work was begun by Sardinia in 1857. and its
total cost will amount to about $15 600, 900.
When Savoy was incorporated with FRANCE
in 1860, the French Government agreed to
Share the expense necessary to complete the
work, undertaking to pay 10000 900 francs,
and afterward the further sum of 1000
francs. toward it. The masonry is said to be
excellent throughout, and no Inconvenience
from smoke, steam, or mephitic air is expert
enced, Notwithstanding the fact that DO ven
ti!ating shafts have been sunk.

Exuberant Health

Is blessing vouchsafed to few. Even those
who have been favored by nature with strong
and vigorous frames are apt to
neglect the precautions necessary to preserve
these precious endowments. Indeed, as rule,
the more healthy and robust a man is, the more
liberties he is inclined to take with his own
physique. 1t is some consolation to the natu-
rally weak and feeble to know that they can
be so invigorated and built up, by proper use
of the means which science has placed at their
disposal, as to have a much better chance of
long life, and exemptions from disease and
pain than the most athletic of their fellows
who are foolish enough to suppose themselves
invulnerable, and act accordingly.
1t is not too much to say that more than half
the people of the civilized world need an occa-
sional tonic, to enable them to support the
strain upon their bodies and minds, which the
fast life of this restless age occasions. In fact,
a pure, wholesome, unexciting tonic is the
grand desideratum Of the busy millions, and
they have the article in Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters. It is staminal medicine, i. e. it INF
parts permanent strength to weak systems and
invigorates delicate constitutions. Its reputa-
ton and its sales have steadily increased
Competitive preparations have been introduced
ad hbitum, and, as far as the public is concern
ed, ad nauseuns, in the hope of rivaling it; but
they have all either persisted in the attempt, OF
been left far in the rear. 1t has been the great
medical success of the present century, and il
is quite certain that no proprietary medicine in
this country is as widely known, or as gener-
ally used.
Ten lightning presses, running necessarily
Sundays excepted, the whole year through,
barely supply the demand for the Illustrated
Almanac, in which the nature and uses of the
preparation are set forth, the circulation now
being over eight millions a year.

Why require by resolutions the Committee to
do an act of supererogation, and your Conven-
ton to be poltroons, and acknowledge victory
by cowardice2 What miserable subterfuge
for the obligations Of duty. The mere sub
mission of the question in this form suggests
the answer that ought to be given to it !: It
was done toTubserve the whims and caprices
of a few demagogues, who desire power and
place by the destruction of the integrity of the
Democratic and Conservative party of Charles
county. And your Convention has been SO
unfortunate, like the willing OK, to bend its
neck to the yoke of the usurper and the OPP
pressor and, worse than all, you have opened
a fair field to the future success and triumph
of the Radical party. And now. how stands
the case in general? Does not your county
now, by this act of your Convention Tin refus-
ing to nominate full ticket), become dishon-
ored before your sister counties, which have
put forth all their strength and energies to pull
down that Babylon of iniquity and corruption
that has destroyed the sovereignty of your State
in common with all others, and even threatens
now to swallow up the remaining portions of
your constitutional liberties. There can be no
excuse or apology for SO palpable an omission
and noncompliance of duty, and from the obi
um of which there is no escape, unless the
Democratic and Conservative party elsewhere
in their charity will pity your weakness am
deplore the misgivings of your hearts and !,
who have served the Democratic party for
more than forty years, in common with others,
feel mortified that mere personal interest
shotld be the instrument of its destruction.
In conclusion, should the voters of my county
feel disposed to elect me, upon the basis of my
first announcement, shall be thankful if not,
shall go into retirement with the mortifca-
ton of having outlived my party in Charles
county JOHN F. GARDINER.

Cresyveu Condemned.

| n OOA1hOaAA8OeAs
The oficeholders' convention in Baltimore,
which commended Creswell, who led the Gus
tom-house and Postofice forces in person,
and condemned the Presidents pet policy Of
San Domingo, is not regarded as a success in
these parts. In fact, it is obvious to the most
careless observer, that the whole machine was
run in the exclusive interest Of the Postmas-
ter General, and that General Grants name
was only used as prop for his personal OBJ
jects. Mr.. Tome, who is put up as the can
didate for Governor, like a ninepin, merely to
be knocked down, is near kinsman of Mr.
Creswell, and the machinery OF the organiza-
ton was directed by Postof6ce agents and
emissaries.
The resolution for San Domingo was SUR
prise, sprung upon the convention by an Off
Ger of the customs, who probably looked to
promotion or higher favor, from that demon
stration. Its failure has provoked much in
dignation among the Presidents real friends,
who charge Creswell with ingratitude, for not
having supported it, when General Grant had
saved him from ruin and disgrace by not re-
moving him for completely with the Choir
penning and othe. frauds. The probability,
therefore, is that the Postmaster General
must go to the wall. He represents State
known to be Democratic beyond the possible
lily of recovery, and every effort TO reclaim it.,
has only served to confirm the popular re-
sentiment against the Administrations Wash.

m. commercial convent,on.

The National Commercial Convention COM
menced its session in Baltimore city on Mon
day last. The Sun says it seems to have
begun with respectable plumbers and under
happy auspices. Itcomprises delegates from
all sections of the country, and men Of all
political parties, able and earnest represents
tives of commercial, manufacturing and other
industrial interests. 1t meets 10 city which,
from its central position on the Atlantic coast,
its geographical neighborhood to both North
and South, and it's political history and tradi-
tiens, has always been national and conserve
tive. A community which has SO long acted
as a link between North and South, and
which, though subjected to many heavy
strain, has never given way, and which feels
it's interests identified with one aud all, can
not but be in sympathy with liberal and
patriotic assembIage like this, acting under
the inspiration of broad and liberal views, for
the common interests of the country.
In his Introductory. speech Mr.. Garret,
Port Tobacco times, and Charles County advertiser. (Port Tobacco, Md.) 1845-1898, 1871-09-29

C5hve6tiod requested Congress to pass law
granting general amnesty to the people Of the
South, and the. repeal OF all lays requiring
test oaths, so as to remove all political disa-
bilties wherever they exist There could not
have been more intelligent and reliable ex-
preston Of the real wishes of the people than
this sentiment, and it is to be regretted that
the Congress Of the United States has hitherto
made no response to this evident desire of the
Ameriek people. There cannot be doubt
that like sentiment will be found to prevail
among The intelligent and patriotic men who
represent great material interests of the coun-
try in the present Convention:
The welcoming speech of Hon. VIM. Pink
ney Whyte, on behalfof our citizens, was ape
propriate and eloquent. 1t will be seen that
R. M. Bishop, Esq, of Cincinnati, was elected
President and a representative Of that great
Mississippi valley which has been justly des-
ignated the centre aud source of the well-being
of other portions Of the country; whose de-
velopment is their growth, and whose pros
perity their wealth. Mr.. Bishop is leading
merchant Of Ohio's chief city. The Conven-
ton has determined to organize nine Standing
committees, composed each of one delegate
from the respective States represented, Cd
certain named subjects, aud also committee
Of like numbers to which subjects other than
those specially assigned shall be referred
The different delegations will announce their
committee men this Tuesday morning.
