SUBSTITUTE FOR QUININE.-A Ger
man pharmaceutical journal gives an
account ofthe Echises plant, which has
attracted considerable attention at the
Vienna Exposition, where specimens
were exhibited. 1t is described as
growing abundantly in some sections of
the Philippine Islands, and the bark
has long been used by the natives, I'M
der the name of Dita, as a remedy
against all kinds of feyers. 1t is also
called, or rather the Microscopic bitter
principle obtained from it, Obtain.
Professor Xina, a Spaniard, and chief
physician of the province of Manila,
has experimental with it in the hospi-
tails under his care, and found that Di-
tain is not only perfect substitute for
quinine, but also that in its use the
frequent unpleasant after effects of
quinine are avoided. 1t is administer
ed in the same manner and doses as
quinine, and it is perfectly certain in
its effect 1t is also remarkably efici-
ent as a tonic. Obtain may be pre-
pared in the same way as quinine. The
bark yields about two per cent. of Di-
tain. A single tree yields large guam
tity of bark without its growth being
affected. 1t is believed that the ar
ticle, in its prepared state, may be pro-
duced at about half the price of quin-
inc.

THE New York Journal of Com
merce has correspondent in Washing
ton who speaks very confidently re-
specting the prospect of getting the
salary grab repealed. He writes:
Zone Senator. who has taken and
kept the back salary, and proposes to
keep it, and who boldly defended the
act, says Congress will be obliged to
repeal the law. He says the tide of
popular opinion is strongly set against
it, and while he maintains that the act
was just and right, he says he does not
think it will pay the Republican party
to lash to its back load that is too
heavy to carry. He says he has no
doubt Congress will repeal the law
soon after its meeting, and that he in
tends to propose it. Let him offer
his bill, said another Senator, land
let us then see who will dare speak and
vote against repeal of the law"

A New Legal Point Decided.

Chancellor Cooper has decided, in
the case of Geo. W. Anderson Us. n.
W. Taylor, ct al, that, independent of
the judgment lien, an execution from a
court of record is lien on real estate
as well as personal property. 1t has
heretofore been decided that an execu
ton has lien on personal property.
In this opinion Chancellor Cooper de-
cldes further, that an execution has,
also, lien on real property and, that
this lien on real property will override
all intermediate conveyanees, from the
test of execution to the levy, although
the sale under the levy may not be
made until more than year has ex-
PRED from the date Of the judgment.

IT is gratifying to learn that Gran
ges are being organized in various parts
of the State. 1t will be more crafty
ing still, if the grangers will learn that
their efforts should embrace far wi
der scope than cheap transportation.
Railroad monopolies are certainly an
evil to be abated; but the tariff, the
National Banks and their kindred
rings" constitute greater curse to the
industry and prosperity of the people
than even the railroad monopoly, whose
stock gambling inaugurated the tinan-
cial crisis. As a part of great swind-
ling scheme, one ring is little more
dangerous than another, and the bust
ness of the oranges is to abate them
all. The conflict is not more between
labor and capital than between hon
esty and dishonesty. The want of the
former and superabundance of the
latter, is the prime cause of all our
troubles-moral and political.

RicHMoND, Va, Nov. 4.-The cleo

ly, the polls in every precinct closing
without any disturbance. The voting
on the part of the whites has been

Kemper by fifteen to twenty thousand

cations are that Kemper's majority will
not be less than 500 in Richmond.

WE feel decidedly cheered by the
views of the Union and American up
on THE political outlook" in Tennes-
see, and we wish we could add that we
are convinced. But now" says that
Journal that every Democratic jour
nal in the State, has urged the import
ance and duty of mutual confidence
and cooperation, the field wears to US,
a more cheerful aspect. =. And
if Tennessee retains the spirit of to-
day, no Radical fox can steal off with
the prize for our quarrelings over liv-
ing men. or dead issues"
The secret of our dependence is the
the fear that ''the spirit of to-day"
will be retained, because that spirit
manifests fatal Indifference, on the
part of the people, to the great issues
involved in the struggle between de-
structive and corrupt Radicalism, on
the one part, and patriotic conserva-
tism on the other. As measured. by
time, we were, at the last election, one
year nearer to the scenes of disfran-
chisement, robbery, bayonet tyranny
and corrupt misrule, than we are to-
day; yet at that time mutual conf
dence and cooperation" gave place to
division, discord and partial defeat
1t is not the Radical fox" we fear,
but the wolves in sleeps clothing to
be found in our political fold, and but
for the Independents, Tennessee would
not have been dishonored by major
ity representation in Congress, made
up of out and out Radicals. And since
it is characteristic of mankind to be
less cautious the farther we recede
from past wrongs and dangers, we can
not feel safe against their recurrence,
so long as apathy prevails and vigi-
lance is relaxed. We hope, however,
the Union and Americans right. and
we are wrong; and we should not hest
tate to adopt its sanguine view of the
question, did we not see the quiet en-
ergy of the Radicals and their pro-
gramme for the next campaign.

THERE is much speculation as to
who is to be the successor of Chief
Justice Chase. The man who can des-
ignate the highest bidder for the posi-

those who single out man, on the

mark, because he who is fitted for the
position, will not buy it, and Grant

A Libel Suit.

Recently the Salt Lake Tribune has
been engaged in exposing the fraudu-
lent transactions of certain mining
sharks in Utah Territory. One Major
Wooley has commenced a suit against
the Tribune for libel, laying the dam
age sustained by him at $780, 900. Com
menting on the little affair, the Tri-
bune says: I'VE are glad to know
that we are considered good for such
a sum-, and when it is considered that
there are three other parties, each OF
whom cannot consistently estimate
his damage at less than the Major, we
begin to feel that being sued for $780,
900 is something worth living for. and
is probably the tide in our affairs
which will lead to fame and fortune.
We have never in our fonGest antici-
patton Of the future of the Tribune en-

Corruption in LEGISLATION,

Ex-Attorney General Jere. S. Black
recently delivered a scathing address
before the Constitutional Convention
of Pennsylvania on corruption in
legislation. He said the fOulest birds
that wing the air have made the tree
of liberty their resting place, and their
obscene drOppings cover all the plains
about them. The raven uponthe pros
trate carcass of the Commonwealth
sits there croaking despair to all who
approach for any clean or honest pur-
pose"
There is two much truth in this
forcibie ltnguage. 1t is true not only
in Pennsylvania, but in every State in
the Union. Our own State of Nevada
has felt its blighting influences, on a
smaller scale than many greater
States, hut only less so in proportion
TO its population.
The above is from the Virginia
Chronicle. As to the editor of the
Chronicle was a member of the last
Legislature, we presume it is nothing
more than fair to infer that he
knows how it is himself"

An Important Decision.

The Supreme Court, at its last term,
rendered IN important decision in
railroad matters, which should be
we'll and widely known: The case
was that of Olcott VS.. Fond du Lac
county, Wisconsin, and it involved
the public character of railroads and
highways. The Court in the decision,
declared: NO matter who is the
agent, the function performed is that
of the State. Though the ownership
is private, the use is public" 1t fur
Their held, that, because 'all persons
may not put their own cars upon the
road, and use their own motive power,
it has no bearing upon the question
whether the road is a public highway.
1t bears only upon the mode of use OF
which the Legislature is exclusive
judge This decision recognizes a
power over railroads, possessed by
legislatures, which few people have
been willing to concede.
