IHE CONTEST. Some of our friends
claim that the late election in this Coun-
ty must be contested. If fraud is any
ground OF contest, then, it can be
broken; for there never was more omen
and shameful fraud in any election. We
Know that this is the common cry of the
defeated party, when politics run high,
ald when the parties are nearly ba-
lanced; but, Ill the present case, the
cheat aud swindle are SO easy of proof
that this charge cannot be alleged against
U.s.. 1t ls well, however. for our friends
to take sober second thought, and re-
hect upon the body bcfoEe whom the
contest must be made. Will it be any
more than appeal from Philip drunk to
Philip drunker? Tho State has been
carried overwhelmingly by the extreme
Radical faction, and wS very much fear
that the claims of right would be stifled
by Legislature representing ultra Radi-
calls. 1t is plain. then, that the appeal
for justice must be made to those of the
same kidney that planned and perpe-
trated the frauds against which we are
seeking redress. We do not say this to
discourage the attempt. If it be thought
best to make the effort. then, we are
ready for the struggle-come veal or
come woe. What We say is with view
OF showing the people the difficulties
that lie before them in the path pro.
posed; to calm the raging passions, that
reason may again reign. The case is a
desperate one and calls loudly for q
remedy. Fellow citizens. it is for you to
say what shall be done. You know the
frauds under which you are now suffer
ing; you also know where the legal re.
medy lies. If you wish to contest the
election, then, go to work and amass the
many proofs OF frauds, and raise by sub
scription the funds necessary to the ef-
fort. We are with you heart and hand, |,
but we must say that to us it looks very
much like appealing to the devil for the
release of ono of his unfortunate vic.
tins. You can hardly expect his satanic
majesty to decide against himself.

ESCAPED THE GALLows.-W were in.
formed, and 30 published n few days ago,
that Martin Baynard was hanged at Hen
Jacksonville on the 18th, for the murder
OF Sllas Weston and three of his chill.
dren. The publication was premature.
We have positive information that BAY.
nard escaped on the dny set apart for
his execution. Baynard's wife had been
pernitted to visit her husband during
his imprisonment. She was granted the
privilege of remaining with him during
the night of the l7th. The jallor visited
the cell about sunrise, and Baynard
dressed up in the clothes of his wife,
with handkerchief to his face. and,
sobbing as if his heart would break,
passed out and made his escape. Some
two hours or more after this occurrence,
the jailor carried Baynard his breakfast,
and discovered that the occupant of the
cell was Mrs. Baynard. She had on her
night clothing. The sheriff raised hue
and cry and started in pursuit, but to
latest accounts the condemned had not
been seen or heard of. Baynard's wife
clung to him from the time be was ar.
rested, and now enjoys the satisfaction
Of saving him from OH ignominous
death. There were 5000 people in Hen
dersonville to witness the hanging, and
great wac their confederation when they
learned that the bird had flown.

LIGHTNING ON THE MOUNTAIN Tor
Gray's Peak is the home of the thunder
The lightning knows it as the eagle
knows his nest. Being the highest OF
all peaks of the Sierra, it attracts the
clouds, which almost daily gather round
it's head and burst upon it, 80 that some
times it tries the nerves of the boldest
to run the gauntlet of these storms. At
such times the whole mountain seems
charged with electricity. Several who
have been caught there at such mo.
ment told me how it shot through them
like needles; it buzzed about their heads
like bees; they could hear it whistling
like gale through the rigging OF ship.
Ihe guides, being more accustomed to
such things, are less terrified; but tour
lists are sometimes paralyzad with terror,
ii not with the shock, aud fall to tho
ground unable to move. Even the guides
sometimes think it O matter of prudence
to throw themselves flat upon their faces,
not to present point for the lightning
to strike. The poor brutes, taught by
dumb instinct, turn their heads from tho
storm and let it beat. If pa.ty we're
caught on the summit in long snow
storm it is probable that they would
perish. In the binding drifts it would
be impossible to find the path, and no
mortal strength conld hold out for many
hours. Such accidents do not occur,
because the guides are on the watch
when they see storm coming up, they
bid all run for their lives. They Ay with
speed, and come down often trembling
and afraid, as if, like Moses. they had
been up in the mount. into the cloud.
and had seen the awful power of God.

A foreign journal. quoted by the New
York Independent. says that Miss Albina
Ware, natural daughter of President
Buchanan, died lately at Charleston.
During the rebellion she was one of the
most active and influential of all the
emissaries of the South in Paris. She
was often received by Bonaparte, whom
she endeavored to persuade to break the
blockade. It is we'll known that Bona
parte was we'll inclined to the action,
and urged Lord Palmerston to unite
with him in it. But he was not bold
enough to attempt it by himself. Miss
Ware, at the time Of her death, was fifty
four years old.

Baron Stenben, the other day, has

bors to build school house, and he of.
fered a site near his own dwelling.
Somebody suggested that he might be

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Guard Your Health and ifs.-How ineon-
sistent is human nature. Men carry revolt
vers to protect themselves against rufhans in
well-polished cities. where the precaution is
unnecessary. often neglect TO fortify their
systems against disease in the most unhealthy
seasons. Thousands of dyspeptics and other
invalids are now languishing in sick rooms.
or feebly and listlessly moving through our
streets. who owe their forlorn condition solely
to want Of common prudence. Far more
inimical than the roughs and rowdies, against
whose possible attacks the timid arm them
selves, are the morbid elements that pervade
the atmosphere at this time Of the year. and
yet although il Is an undenied and undeniable
fact that Hostetter's Stomach Bitters afford a
more perfect protection against these causes
of disease, than any weapon Of otfense can
afford against lawless violence, the reckless
and inconsiderate continue to brave the
danger with popitive safeguard within their
reach.
Every day, however, the number of these
martyrs to their own want Of forecast dimin-
ishes. Each succeeding season demonstrates
more clearly the inestimable value of the
Bitters. both as an antidote for the causes Of
disease. and specific for its consequences.
The miasma which generates periodic disor-
ders. rheumatism. liver complaint, irregu-
larity Of the bowels and other physical dis

are cured by tho perseyering use of the great
remedy.
