DRENKING WITH NEGRoEs.-It il
yatfer late in the day for politicians
candidates for ofaice-not to like it to
be published that they take Il social
drink with negroes. We recollect that
several yetrs ago, when Senator Ander-
son drank d glass Of egg-nogg at the
Auditors office il New Orleans, where
Lieut.. Gov. Dunn happened to lie pres
emit, d great to-do was made about it
here among the Bourbons /; but nov
they are just az good at It as the RAIDS,
when they want an Office, md are de-
pendent on negro votesto getit. These
! should recollect how they once
abused others who did not do this thing,
but simply because the negroes voted
for them Of theirown accord and re-
collecting It, they should hold their
tongues when the " dear people = are
let to knew that they. the Bourbons,
have reached that advanced stage in
modern civilization, where they treat
and drink with negroes for the sake Of
4 public Office. When they drink with
negroes, md the JOURNAL finds 1t out,
the JoURSAL ID going TO tell ii; and
they had better shy nothing about it,
for the negroes viii certainly MOI vote
for candidates who's drink with them and
then deny having enjoyed that honor.

TnE SEEPrlcAL CoSyNcED.-Every ad.
vance in Medicine, every new remedy has
encountered an opposition, which is the test
Of truth. Galcn and Jenner only were be-
lieyed when they had proved their discoye.
ries against opposition. But men are obser.
ving,and benefits always make believers. No
incredulity can stand the silent argument Of
good results. When Dir. Walker proclaimed
that he had produced from the medicinal
herbs of CalifOrniaNn Elixir that would re-
gtne ate Il 0 sinking syst,m and ire disease
not organic, the incredulous shook their
heads, Yethis VINEGAR BrrTERs isnow the
Standard Restorative OF the Western world.
The truth could not DO resisted. Under the
operation Of the new remedy, Dyspeptics
regained their health, appetite and strength,
the Bilious and Constipated were relieved
of all distressing symptoms; the Consnmp-
tive and Rheumatic rapidly recovered; In.
termittent and Remittent Fevers were bro
kenup; the faint OF Scrofula WAS eradicatedl
Who could gainsay facts like thesei Not
even the Faculty. Skepticism was routed.
All doubts rs to the claims of the Bitters to
tile first place in the first rank of modern
medicines were silenced, and this wonder.
ful preparation is to day the most popular
Tonic, Alternative, and Blood Drpurente ever
advertised in America. In common with
other journalists, we are free to add our ties.

WIZ HE woU1D Nor AcoEPr.-The
late Silas Wright, was rendered by Pres.
Tyler, q place on the bench Of the
Supreme Court OF the United States I:
Mr. Wright was waited on directly, says
our authority, and the proposition laid
before him, He was evidently gratifed
and somewhat embarrassed. After few
moments consideration, he s,id my
friend, you know l cannot accept this
generous offer. You know the Demo-
cratic party would not consent to my
withdrawal from the political field. But
| will say to you frankly that never ex'
pected to be called upon to nuke SO great
a sacrifice in the interest Of my party. 1t
is the place Of all others to suit my taste
and habits. In fact it is the only Office
that ever seriously desired. Thc strife
and turmoil Of political life, especially
in high party times, is uncOngeniRl to
me while the bench is precisely in nc.
cordance with my views and wishes. He
added II think that by close applica-
ton and constant study | might make
myself equal to the duties of the place. /
am rather rusty in the law now, having
been so long in public life. But am
fond Of the profession, and sometimes
wish / had never left it. EXPRESS my
thanks to the President for his kind
offer, and tell him that circumstances
prevent my acceptance OF it."
