LIQUID GoLD.-One of the prettiest
sights the human eye ever rested upon is
pure gold in its liquid state. We saw in
the Branch Mint yesterday, jar contain
ing several gallons of the liquid, partially
precipitated. The liquid is the color Of
pure sherry wine, aud greatly magni6es that
which is precipitated in tie solid state.
Looking shroush the side of the jar at the
gold which had settled on the bottom, it
presented splendor and maguifceuce such
as we have never witnessed even in the
most brilliant sunset-an appearance not
unlike that which one would imagine the
vault of heaven would present ifinverted
and lined with solid gold aud lighted by a
Summer sun.-Carson Register.

OMIT Drugging.

This is now admitted by the medical pro-
fession as fundamental principle OF heal
ing science. 1t is wisely provided by the
human economy that whenever anything
is wrong in the physical system the natural
forces Of the body are brought to bear to
expel the disease. The great aim, therefore,
is to strengthen the natural powers. This
has been kept in view by the skillful COM
Founders Of Hostetter's Stomach Bitters,
which operates to give fresh vitality to all
the organs Of the body. The effect OF this
medicine upon the stomach, the liver and
the kidneys, Is prompt and decisive. The
patient, who is wise enough to quit drugging
and try the bitters, soon feels as If he had
taken new lease Of life, and as he con-
tinues the use Of the article, he Is oyerjoyed
to find the streams Of health coursing
through his frame. 1t Is prepared with
great care, and its component parts are en-
,irely vegetable. 1t is free from the ob1ec-
ions SO often urged against preparations Of
the kind. AS medicinal agent 1t has no
equal, while its pleasing flavor and health
full effects have made 1t general favorite.
1t Is free from all properties calculated to
impair the system, and its operations are at
once mild soothing and efficient. All who
nave used Hostetter's Stomach Bitters attest
its virtues and commend II.
Even those who are In the enjoyment OF
perfect health frequently have need TO nave
recourse to tonics as preventiveS OF disease.
We are never too well armed against the
assaults of "the ills that flesh Is heir TO.
In health or sickness this tonic cannot be
taken regularly without giving vitality and
elasticity To the system. =

Protection TO Immigrants.

The New York Times, in alluding to
an evil which obtains in that city, con-
cludes with the remarks that the immi-
grants good Ought to be more deeply
and thoroughly considered and provided
for in this country than it yet has been.
1t is not matter OF local, but Of ma.
tional importance; not q matter alone
Of philanthropic, but of commercial in
terest. The value Of each immigrant
arriving on our shores is variously cal
culated at from $500 to $1,000 to the
country. Such precious commodities
ought surely to be taken excellent care

to do more than allude TO that dislnter-

PRESIDENT MAKING.

The President-makers in New York
city are busy in arranging plans for the
ensuing campaign, and the latest re
ported idea is so brilliant that its au
thor may now be satisfied to die; the
country is willing The assertion is
that "a number of leading Republicans
who are dissatisfied with GRANTS ad
ministration and yet concede themselves
powerless to prevent his denomination
have resolved to foment party disturb
ances all over the country so as to
weaken the Radical party strength and
throw the election into the hands OF the
Democracy. In consideration OF the
services OF the leading Republicans
in this regard, the Democrats are to
nominate some man sufficiently we'll
known throughout the country, and
adopt no platform Of principles, and
thus make the contest one Of personal
popularity alone.
The proposition is almost too absurd
for SESSIONS consideration and we mention
it only as a sample Of the foolish schemes
which a few politicians in New York
sometimes imagine they can impose
upon the country at large. The grow
ing popular dissatisfaction with the
course pursued by President GRANT can
neither be stimulated nor checked by
any number OF leading Republicans
in New York, nor have any Democratic
politicians there either the right or the
power to arrange beforehand the de-
tails OF the Democratic campaign. Let
us have no more such miserable jugglery
as that which seriously injured the
Democratic cause in the campaign OF
1868. The people can think and are
thinking for themselves, and when
the time comes for the election
Of President they will vote for the
candidate in whom they have conf
dence, as the representative of principles
that meet their approval. The vindica-
ton of Democratic truth and the con-
viction that it is only through the
triumph Of the Democratic party that
the nation can escape from the evils
that Radicalism has inflicted, 60 hand
il hand withiS;popular dissatisfaction
with GRANT. The errors and crimes Of
the Radical party with GRANT at its
head, are every day swelling the ranks
Of the Democracy, and no arrangement
between leading Republicans" in New
York and prominent members OF the
Democratic party there, is either needed
or desired to exert any influence upon
the campaign.

Sundry Reasons why a COnstitu-
tiOuaI Convention should be Held.

To give all the people Of the State a
voice in making the State Constitu'
ton.
To abolish the costly township sys-
tenn swindle and restore cheap and hon
est local government.
To give us competent and respect,
able judiciary.
To make all officers entrusted
with public money accountable Tor a
faithful and honest management OF the
same:
To enable the counties that are az
fiicted with the votes of negroes to count
them in legislative representation.
TO give us a Constitution composed
of Governmental principles instead OF
the cumbersome string of sptutes that
make up our present Constitution.
To enable the Democratic party to
fulfill the pledges upon which the peo-
pie placed it in power.
Because the people want it, and be-
cause no Convention has ever yet been
voted down.-Courier.

In recounting the ballots cast IN the
city of New Haven at the late election
in Connecticut, an error Of one hundred
in favor Of the Republican candidate
has been discovered. So long as the
mistakes occurred in favor Of the Dem
ocratic nominee, the Radical press
thought the investigation all right and
clamored for rectifcation, but now they
insist that the New Haven vote must
have been fraudulent and they prefer
to stand by the original return. 1t
makes great deal Of difference with
these gentry whose OK is gored,

SIMON CAMERoN's incapacity as chair
man of the Senate committee on For
eign Relations is finely illustrated by
the fact that MORTON has been called
to his assistance in the management Of
the new treaty with England which is
to be submitted for action at the extra
session. MORTON don't know much
more about the matter than CAMBRoN
does and the chances are that the ad-
ministration may yet be compelled TO
invoke the assistance Of SUMNER In Sc
curing the ratification OF the treaty.
The qualification Of GRANTS personal
piaue against the Senator from Massa
chusetts may yet be the means OF SER
iously embarrassing the settlement OF
the Alabama claims.
