Political Notes.

The Democracy of Texas held thell
State Convention at Austin, on the
9Th inst. They nominated 70 Govern
or on the 9Th ballot, Richard Coke, OF
Waco Hon. Il. b. Hubbard was
nominated for Lieut.. Governor
Stephen II. Dardcn, Of Lockport was
also nominated for Comptroller
Of the resolutions adopted by the
Convention the Boston Post say;
"Of their platform it is enough to
say that it is after the OHIO model,
with only such notifications as State
issues make pertinent. They declare
themselves in favor of their past policy
for developing the material resources
Of the State, but oppose with all their
might the granting Of State subsidies
for the construction of railroads, etc.
The repudiate the regulators, and de-
clare it to be their policy and the only
policy for the State to pay every dol
lar Of her just Indebtedness and depre-
cate the custom of Federal interfer
ence with State rights. They con-
denim also, in warm terms the action
of those Democrats in Congress who
co-operlted with the Republican ma
jority and President Cant in the pas
sage of the Back Salary bill"
1t having been intimated that
Jefferson Davis wanted to run for
Governor Of Tennessee, Brownlow
asks Footc to take the field against
him. Davis and Foote having been
politically shelved some time since,
there isn't much Of a prospect ahead
for either of them. But there is Brown
low. He might be shelved, too.
New dcfaulters in Government
offices are daily discovered and their
numbers are hard to count because so
numerous. What are we coming to ?
is the question asked by all honest,
patriotic men. We don't pretend to
give the names of this increasing
legion of Government Thieves.

vention, at ST. Paul, Sept oath.
Nebraska, votes, Oct 13, for
county officers only, but questions Of
national interest are discussed at all
the meetings and conventions.
The election in Indiana, Oct. IA
will be for county officers, circuit
judges and prosecuting Attorneys
The canvass in the State is growing
lively.
The election in Kansas, Novem-
Der 4, is to be for an entire new House
in the Legislature, a portion OF the
State Senate, and for county officers.
There is no general State ticket.
Administration papers admit that
the debt of the Southern States has in
creased $5O,OOO,OOO since the war,
under Republican rule. In the state
ment they come within less than one
of feeling the truth, that is, they come
within about three -fourths of it.
The Massachusetts Republican
State Convention came off last week

Gubernatorial contest was ended

THE PARTY OF PROGRESS G)-The
Republican party is called by itself the
party Of progress. 1t has been nearly
thirteen years in power, and in that
time the government in nearly all the
States in which that party has been
transformed from one in which the
people rule to one in which the cor
poration rules. Two of the Vice
Presidents of the party have been de-
bauched by these corporations, the
chairman of the most important COM
mittees of Congress have been subsi-
died by the rings, and half a dozen
Senators claiming to be Republican
Christian statesmen are tarred with
the same brush. The controlling
power of the Republican Administra-
ton and of the Federal Government
has made such progress that its action
is controlled by the size of Credit
Mobilier dividens and the spoils of
contracts, ending in back salary grabs.
Those who were the deepest in these
are foremost in that party and the Re
publican Administration. This is
progress-in one direction.

control them. The testimony of our best citi-
zens, Of all classes, establishes the fact, that
CHERRY PICTORIAL will and does relieve and
cure the affecting disorders of the Throat and
Lungs beyond any other medicine. The most
dangerous affections of the Pulmonary Organs
yield to its power; and cases of Consumption,
cured by this preparation, are publicly known,
so remarkable as hardly to be believed, were
they not proven beyond dispute. AS remedy,
it is adequate, on which the public may rely
for full protection. By curing Coughs, the
forerunners of more serious disease, it saves un-
numbered lives, and an amount of suffering not
to be computed. 1t challenges trial, and con-
vinces the most sceptical. Every family should
keep it on hand as protection against the early
and unperceived attack of Pulmonary Alice
tions, which are easily met at first, but which
become incurabe, and too often fatal, if neg
lected. Tender lungs need this defence; and it
is unwise to be without it. AS a safeguard to
children, amid the distressing diseases which
beset the Throat and Chest of childhood, CHERRY
PICTORIAL is invaluable; for, by its timely use,
multitudes are rescued from premature graves,
and saved to the love and affection centred on
them. 1t acts speedily and surely against ordi-
nary colds, securing sound and Misunderstanding
sleep. No one will suffer troublesome Influ.
enza and painful Bronchitis, when they know
how easily they can be cured.
Originally the product of long, laborious, and
successful chemical investigation, no cost or toll
is spared in making every bottle in the utmost
possible perfection. 1t may be confidently relied
upon as possessing all the virtues it has ever
exhibited, and capable of producing cures as
memorable as the greatest it has ever effected.

The BANKRUPT LAw.-It is under
stood the attempt will be made in the
next Congress to repeal the Bankrupt
act, or to obtain such an amendment
to the same as shall under its opera
tions be more favorable to commercial
interests. The amendment added by
the last Congress, by which all prop
erty is exempted from its operations
which the several States have reserved
from execution for debt, has increased
the legal difficulties of the situation,
because every State gives special
preference to different classes of debts
and provides different modes for their
collection. 1t appears that this amend
ment works very unequally in the
different States. While it allows
debtors in Maryland, Delaware and
Rhode Island to have but 5000 ex-
empt, it exempts $4,000 in Virginia
$4,000 in Mississippi and $500 in
Florida, Askansas and California re
spectively.

BEAUTIFUL WOMEN. The hair is
the browning glory of women There
are few moderate defects which can
not be remedied by the proper DISPOSE
ton Of the tresses But when the
hair begins to tall out, Or turn gray, in

prime of life, there is cause for real
regret When this is the case, Halls
Vegetable Sicilian Hair Remover will
be found to be a first class remedy, far
superior, as a sound medicM medium,
to anything else before the public.
1t actually restores gray hair to lis
original color, and in the great major
ity Of cases, causes it to grow again
when it in becoming thin. 1t is not

and the formal ceremony connected
with the business Of covering into the
Treasury and receipting for the fifteen
and a half million dollars awarded to
the United States Government by the
Geneva arbitrators, was finished up in
that city, OH that day. The transac-
tion being one of a novel and note
worthy character, a great deal of GU
riosity to learn the details of the mat
ter and to see the final warrant cover
ing that large amount Of money into
the Treasury was manifested by hun
dreds of the employees or attaches Of
the Trearury Department, as well as

For vigor in speech, commend us to
S. NJ. Smith, secretary to the Farm
er's State Association in Illinois. Last
week a very elaborate address was
made by that gentleman on the grange
movement, and it contained thoughts
so emphatically stated that they are
not likely to fall unheeded, but to be
productive seeds in mems minds. In
commenting on the great increase, for
instance, that has taken place in taxa
ton, he desired, in Gods name, to
know what compensation had been
given to the people. When he went
on his farm seventeen years ago, he
said it took $40 gold piece to pay
his taxes, where now it takes seven
and a half of them, an advance Of
700 per cent. The county, that used
to be run for $500 year, now costs
s2j00, and it took the whole product
of township to feed single circuit
judge. He thought it cost too much
to board that kind of cattle.
