POLITICAL MATTERS.

Ihad the pleasure of meeting with MI.
Nathan Gof, ST., on Saturday, and found
him hale and hearty. Mr.. Gofi Is very
outspoken on the Grant. Greeley question,
his motto being, "Grant against the
world" And by the way, the County
Republican Convention was held on Sat.
urday last, at which Mr.. Golf presided
with his usual ability. SIN. Ogden and
NJ. W. Davis were the Vice Presidents,
and Gen. r. s. Northcott, Secretary. One
hundred and four delegates were appoint
ed to the Grafton Republican Convention,
which meets on the Esd inst. Resolutions
were adopted endorsing Gen. Grant, and
instructing the delegates to use all honora.
Bile means to select delegates 10 the Ma.
tional Convention who would support
him for President. The Republican party
10 this county has been divided against
itself, but find now that all differences
have been reconciled, and Gen. Northcott
and his friends are working shoulder to
shoulder with the balance for Gen. Grant;
or rather the Telegraph Is working for
him and the balance are following. There
is very large body Of Democrats In the
county who are ready and willing to en-.

SPECIAL NOTICES.
-.O:--
A Dead DeQUSiOn.

The theory that human beings whose
strength has been exhausted by pain and
sickness can be restored by depicting medi-
cines and water cruel, If not absolutely a
dead delusion, Is in the last agonies of dis
solution. At length it is understood that
strength cannot be purged into debilitated
frame, though lie may easily be purged
out of it, and that it is about as wise to
withhold a healthful stimulant from the
weak, in the expectation that they will
rally without one, as 1t would be to de-
prive a lamp of oil and expect 1t to burn
the brighter for it.
The immense and uniform success which
has attended the use of that wonderful
combination of pure stimulant with the
finest medicinal herbs, known as Hostel.
ter's Stomach Bitters, has largely assisted
in dispellng the absurd chimera. Frantic
attempts are made to revive it, but in vain.
When the sick feel that their strength is
departing, and that unless invigorated
they must utterly break down, IL is in vain
to tender them feculent slops in the place
of genuine restoratives. They may he i'm
ton cannot be repeated. They desire TO be
refreshed, mforted, braced up, and decline
to be griped a second time.
Under the operation of the Bitters on the
other hand, all the processes necessary TO
physical restoration go on simultaneously.
The system Is stimulated and toned, the
bowels regulated, the appetite cultivated
the nerves composed and the condition of
the blood improved at one and the same
time by a single medicine. Common sense
tells us that such preparation must be in
valuable.

In England the stockholders OF street
railways are bound in heavy penalties to
keep their own horse track in the best
possible condition, and to have the iron
rails set into the road with such perfec-
ton of mechanical skill that carriage
passing over them diagonally shall not
be Jared in the least. This last is a
provision that might be introduced in
this country to advantage. If a cor
poration is allowed the use Of the
streets of a city as a means of making
money, they should certainly not so
use them as TO render other kinds OF
travel dangerous.

The IntslGgsacsr is trying to write up
Governor JACOB as an independent can
didate, but has no authority to promise
him the support Of the Republican
party, still less a single Democratic
vote. Our opportunities for learning
the sentiment Of the Democratic party
in the State are probably as good as
those enjoyed BY our neighbor, and our
information is that the party will stand
unitedly in support ofthe regular nomi.
nees. There never was less disposition
among the Democracy than now to
break up their party organization Of
give the Radicals a steppipg-stone to
power in West Virginia. We cannot
believe that Governor JACOB seriously
contemplates the step which some or
his Radical enemies are advising and
coaxing him to take.
