POISONED TO DEATu.-A healthy liver 80.

OF bile, which contains q great amount of

the liver becomes rpid or congested it fails

tho system. What must be the condition Of

each day two and half pounds OF poison?
Nature tries to work OFF this poison through
lungs, skin, etc; but these organs become
Oycr.taxed in performing this labor in addi-
lion to their natural functions, and cannot
long withstand the pressure, but become

The Nov, H.mp.h,re Election.


The Republican candidate for Go
vernon. Straw, has carried New Hamr-
shire by majority OF about $500. In
view OF the extraordinary efforts made
by the Administrations, the free use of
governmental patronage, the employ
ment Of host Of oanvassera, &C., the
result is not surprising. In fact. it is
just what we surmised, and SO stated
that it would be, some time since It is
stated TINT au unusual degree OF bribery
was practiced; that greenbacks changed
hands rapidly, even at the polls. Such
charges, however, arc mado after every
election, and, what is more to be regret
ted, are moro or less true. So far as the
State of Now Hampshire is concerned,
the result OF the election makes bnt lit
tie material difference. Hor local 60
vernment will be administered honestly
and economically by either party. for
thore is no vast preponderance of inte-
gritty and intelligence in tho one party
more than the other. The election is
significant rather in o pational view. It
was a test of Grants popularity, or,
more properly speaking, perhaps. his
power in the Granite State. from which
some slight clue may be had as to his
standing in other States. Viewed in
this light, tho election can scarcely be
called victory to Grant. He holds the
field. but he has lost heavily. Another
such victory will ruin him.
In 1868, Grant received majority of
5000 votes in New Hampshire. It will
thus be seen that he has lost over three
fourths of his former majority, and
that, too, after the most powerful exer-
tions that could be put forth in his be-
half. If he loses at this rate in q straight
Democratic fight, when that party, too,
may be said to be disorganized and
without any fixed or certain purpose as
to their course at present, what will his
chances be when he is opposed by the
brains and integrity of the Republican
party, represented by Schurz, Sumner,
Chase. Trumbull. Greeley and their anti
Grant associates? The election is, of
course, discouraging to ultra Democrats,
and we are glad OF it, if they are thereby
dissuaded from making strictly party
struggle in the Presidential campaign.
The South, in our judgment, would
not take the additional risk of defeat for
the small advantage that would be gained
to her. if my at all. by o straight-out
Democratic National Administration,
more than what would be reaped under
the rule Of the reformed Republicans.
To wrench the Government from the
hands of n military tyrant. and the des-
potism to which it is rapidly verging,
and to secure return to constitutional
freedom, where the rights of the States
will be duly observed, is what the South
most longs to see and most needs. This,
we take it, is the spirit OF the anti Grant
Republican movement. We therefore
hope it success, aud believe that the con-
servativc men of the South, known as
Democrats, will give it their earnest and
unqualified support

O'Clock. yesterday afternoon, an advo-
cate OF woman's rights. in tho person Of
Kate Hopkins. whose complexion has.
for many summers, unsuccessfulIy re-
sisted the effects of Soils Implying rays,
made charge on man OF the same
color. in Gervais street, near Main. It
seems that the man was indebted to the
woman in sum Of money, and she,
espying him seated in brett, with seve.
raj companions, demanded payment.
and called on him to alight-both of
which invitations he declined Where

motley group, who had assembled at the
sound of the pistol; but Policeman Will

the weapon and the woman in custody,
and the debtor rode off in his vehicle.

A carat is weight Of four grains,

When applied to gold, twenty -four carats

rest alloy.
