says that II shall publish the opin
ions of tho Eastern Press in refer
encc to the result Of the Senatoria
contest, and in the same issue it re
fers to two eastern journals to-wit
The N. Y. Tribune and the N. Y
Evening Post, and publishes extracts
from their comments on the issue o.
the contest. 1t claims that these pa.
pers sustain the course of the Regis
ter. Now lotus see what the Regis
ter takes from the Tribune as sus
tanning its course, and we moan BY
its course tho choice it made Of men
and not the manner in which it con
Quoted the canvass. We publish en-.
tire the clipping from the Tribune a.
the Register has it: t,tgss
"The Hon. VIM. B. Allison ol
Iowa, who has been elected to tho
United States Senate in the place OF
the Hon. James Harlan, has honor.
ably and fairly won the distinction
he has achieved. Elected to Con-
gress as long ago as 1862, he has
proved himself an industrious, hon.
est, and capable legislator. His in.
dependence ia political matters has
not, perhaps, gained him such power
full friends in Washington as among
his own constituents, and the defeat
Of. the more subservient gentleman
whom he now succeeds, seems to
have been received at the National
Capital with some surprise and con-
sternation."
What is the plain import Of the
above extract, and what the cause for
the inuendo therein contained against
Senator Harlan /? Is not the 7ri6Mne
opposed to the denomination of Gen.
Grant, and what does the words, athe
more snbservient gentleman" refer
to, but the manful defense ofthe Pres.
ident made by Senator Harlan p
Is it not all plain when the extract
closes with the statement that the
Senator's defeat was received at the
national capital aiwith CONSERVATION ?
Will the Register rely for aid upon
those journals who seek to defeat
Grant. and which base their opinion
upon their feeling in this regard -
We take it that the Register favors
the denomination of Grant; its back
or whom it quotes in this instance,
does not, and rejoices in the defeat of
Harlan because he was q friend of
Grants. Now it seems to us that wit
nesses had better not been called in.
Don't blow hot and cold in the same
breath, please.

HOOFLAND.s GERMAN TONIC,

Wa. compounded foi those not inclined to ex-
treme bitters, and is intended for use in cases
when some alcoholic stimuant is required in co -
nertion with the tonic properties of the Bitters.
Each bottle of the Tonic contains one bottle of
the Bitters, combined with PURGE SANTA CRUZ
RUM, aud favored in such manner that the ex-
treme bitterness of the btters is overcome, form
ing n preparation highly agreeable and pleasant
to the palate. and containing the medicinal vir-
tues Of the Bitters The price of the Tonic is 81.
50 per Bottle, which many persons think too
high. They must take into consideration that

dients and they who expect to obtain cheap
COMPOUND, and be benefited by it will most GER
tainly be cheated.

that the newly elected clerk will not follow In the
