A New Departure in Medicine.

1t is difficult to induce the medical profession to
abandon the cd grooves in which it has travelled for
centuries. Purgation, venesecticn opiumzation and
bsteration are its team OF venerable hobbies and
does not like to harness up the new four-m-hand Of
nvigoration regulation publication and renovation
and take new departure. Advanced practitioners,
however, who are not welded to old dogmas, admit
that in Hosetter's Stomach Bitters possess to
speak, a counter-charm to the malign influences
that produce various disc sed conditions. They do
not deny that in cases of general debility, in nervous
complaints, and in all disturbances of the liver, the
bowels and the digest organs, this powerful and
wholesome vegetable remedy effects extraordinary
cures The public rendered this verdict many years
ago, and the enlightned members of the profession
acquiese in it. Better late than never.

A report from Lieut.-Col. Thorn, engineer,

tain portions of that harbor, above the mid

of $11r 900, $4,000 of whinn is on hand, and
available. Col. Thorn says: 'The deepening
of these shoals up to the harbor com mission

RESOLUTIONS OF THE WOMAN SUFFRAGE
CoNvENTIoN.-The following resolutions were
adopted by the Woman's Suffrage Convention
at Augusta Thursday night:
Whereas, 1t has been asserted by the Amer
lean people that "all governments derive their
just powers from the consent of the governed"
and by the people of Maine that "all persons
demeaning themselves peaceably shall be equal
ly under the protection of the laws" and
Whereas, One half the adult citizens of
Maine are now deprived of the ballot, and be-
ing thus disfranchised are to-day governed as a
dependent class, compelled to obey laws in the
making of which they have no voice, and con-
tribnte to the support of a government in
which they have no representation; and
Whereas, The State of Maine possesses the
power to regulate by a uniform rule the condi-
tons upon which the elective franchise shall
be exercised by its citizens; and
,.e Whereas, Inc humanizing power of woman's
life has ever been exerted for the promotion of
moral reforms and the elevation of the tone
and character of society; therefore
Resolued, That this association claims the
right of suffrage for the women of Maine, and
the power to exercise that right upon the same
terms upon which it is exercised by men.
Resolced, That we appeal to the Legislature
of Maine, now in session, for proposed amend
ment to the Constitution of our State which
shall secure the right of suffrage to it's citizens
without distinction OF sex.
Resolued, That the needed regeneration of
our system of politics can never be completed,
and the vice of intemperance and kindred So
cial evils effectnally controlled, until the united
voices o. the best men and women of the land
shall find direct expression at the ballot box.
Resolved That we observe with special graf
ification the rapid improvement in public SEN
timent concerning this movement and the atti-
tude of the prominent and most influential
newspapers of our State towards it, some of
which are fearless advocates of the cause, and
nearly all of which give it respectful consider
tom
Resolued, That remembering the many tri-
umphs of truth and Justice over traditions and
prejudice in the recent course of American
Civilization, we take encouragement for con-
tinued effort in behalf of the enfranchisement
of woman, confident that as surely as right is
still right and justice is still justice this cause
will also steadily progress and speedily triumph.
Resolved, That this society pledges itself,
here and now, member to member, to pursue
the work we have to-day undertaken, with
anabated and undertaking fidelity, until the
women of the State of Maine shall have the
ballot, in as sure possession as do the men of
this State.

\ NEW GOVERNMENTAL IDEA.

NEW bUN EhNMtNlAl lbEAs
A radical and lhoroughgoing remedy for
the alarming abuses Of party politics has
been devised by DR.. Q. g. p. Clark, Of 0s
wego, New York. His plan looks not 10
any tinkeriug or Guessing over of existing
evils, but complete revolution IN our cleo.
toral system, which it is claimed, and with
strong show Of reason, would bring to
sudden termination the present coetly, op
pressye, and demoraizing dynasty of the
professional politicians, and re enthrone
The people, Like skillful physician he
proceeds to diagnose the disease and define
its limits. 1t is only in the large constltu
encies, he discovers that the worst abuses
exist In the small towns and country dis
tricts they are not at minimum. In those
smaller constituencies, voters, knowing all
candidates personally, can act understand
ingly in choosing delegates or electing Off
GERS, depending less upon parttzan machine
ry and politicians. Hence they have con-
siderable freedom Of choice They are
therefore apt to elect really representative
citizens, and unless coerced by the supposed
exigencies of party, are not likely to pro-
mote notoriously bad men.
This is the idea upon which DR.. Clark 8
plan is builded. 1t aims to achieve these
two very important results, viz to enable
citizen always to exercise his suffrage intel
ligentIy, and wholly to prevent any inter
ferences with him in such exercise by the
class of managing, selfseeking politicians.
The following extract from the pamphlet
itself embodies the salient features of the
system:
THE ROOT OF THE DIFFICULTY STATED.
The fact that the root Of the difficulty
does not seem to have attracted attention
or if it has been discovered, its removal has
not thus far been attempted. 1t is here
undertaken to point it out, and to propose
the means of its cure.
Every effect must have q cause, and every
power standing place. What is it thai
has enabled politicians to substitute theil
personal purposes for the public will tC

the peoples affairs, and make then do th'

leaves the majesty of the people only t

gers from the primary processes. His theo-
ry is that a small constituency OF voters,
assembled by lot from among the citizens Of
q ward or town, and Immediately shut up
like jury to appoint such on electcr, must
necessarily be governed in their selection
by personal acquaintance or general repute,
and therefore hit upon man pre- eminent
in his community for ability or worth. 1t
would be impossible to bring together at
haphazard hundred men who would not a.
gree upon some such man to represent them,
left entirely to their own judgment, There
fore We should obtain for the foundation
stone of our new fabric body Of repre-
sentative electors possessed of character
and standing in the communities, body Of
men who would be presumably imperyious
to all the evil Influences which the poit.
clans could bring against them. The high
er grades Of electoral bodies would natu-
rally be composed Of still more prominent
and more truly representative citizens. At
every step q motive would exist for select
ing the best men instead of the worst, as
so often happens under the present system.
Neither can it be objected that because
the electoral colleges wisely interposed by
the fathers in the election Of President and
Vice-President have been captured by the
party carcus, and completely nullifed, SO
would be the proposed electoral bodies to
be substituted for popular elections. The
plan IS designed TO do away entirely with
the present party caucus and convention,
with their "set up machinery aud facility
for overriding the will Of the honest citi-
zens, and would likely accomplish that re-
suit. Regularly organized political parties,
with complete machinery and armies Of
mercenaries aQd whippers in would no long
er exist, and only great, living, urgent po-
litical issues would be considered by the
voters in appointing their representative
electors

BEAUTIFUL ALLEGoRY. - Crittenden, of
Kentucky was at one time engaged in de-
Tending man who had been Indicted for
capital offence. After nm elaborate and
powerful defence, he closed his effort with
the following striking and beautiful allego-
ry "When God in his eternal council con-
ceived the thought of mans creation, he
called to him the three ministers who wait
costantly upon the throne--Justice, Truth
and Mercy-and thus addressed them -
shall we make manY Then said Justice
'0h, God, make him not, for he will trample
upon the laws Truth made answer, also
'Oh, God make him not, for be will pollute
thy sanctuaries." But Mercy, dropping
down upon her knees, looking up through
her tears, exclaimed '0h, God, make him !;
will watch over him with my care through
all the dark paths which he may have to
tread 7 Then God made man, and said
unto him oh, man, thou art the child Of
Mercy; go and deal with thy brother {"
The jury, when be had finished, were
drowned in tears, and, against evidence aud
what must have been against their own con-
victions, brought in verdict If not guilty.
