LONDON, April %, 1874
Only one opinion prevails among the

postponed, it would act injuriously on present
investments and lead to total cessation Of

an IA VOICE FROM OREGON. 4. ftsss.. II
Senator Mitchell, OF Oregon. regards the veto as
q great political mistake. His state il by no
means unit for hard money. The lack OF cur
rency on the Paclc slope Is seriously felt as In
the West and South, and 1t was for this reason
that he supported the Merrtmon amendment.
what the effect OF the veto would be ultimately he
would not at present attempt to say. t6oIs.n
Senator Lewis, Of Virginia, who voted for the
BILL gives as his opinion that the veto is the death
OF the republican party In Virginia. 1t has for
some time been on the decline, and recent efforts
had been made by which 1t was hoped to unite
the Bourbon element with the stronger
republican sentiment and maintain the
State intact for the administration. But what
OF hope there may have been is dispelled by the
Presidents action yesterday. The people OF vir-
ginia wanted more currency The senator did not
understand financial questions, but In response to
the sentiment OF the people whom he represented
he had voted for the bill, and would do 30 again.
Senator Johnston, Of Virginia, one OF the demo-
cratic supporters OF the bill, says that the people
OF the State were never more unanimous on the
question OF the expansion OF the currency than
now. The Presidents veto was evidence that
their desires would not be respected and he be-
lieved that general depression would follow.

The great minority of the colored PEG
pie of Louisiana are quietly at work on
the ~plantatiOns not one out Of a thous-
and of them hold any office, OF ever ex-
pcct to be anything else than useful Ia
borers. As a class they have been sin
gularly peaccable and patient through
all the turmoil that the shabby politi-
clans have created; and yet, nOtWith-
standing this, we find that some of the
interior towns are patrOlled by Il self
constituted police appointed by the
"Whitc League" The object is simply
intimidation, and the men who are en-
gagged in it are certainly making them
selves GmcnabIe to the penalties pres
cribed in the Enforcement act. Judge
Bradlcy's decision in the Grant parish
murder cases will surely not apply where
the ODenlv avOWed intention is to hinder
and embarraSS voters in the free cXer-
else of the right OF suffrage.
This ruttianly madness will certainly
create reaction in the North. Just now
there is q sentiment abroad which is de-
manding reform in the Southern State
governments. The honest people OF al
parties are ready to compel the expulsion
of mel like Moses and Durell from the
places which they have dlsgraced. AS

a Brilliant Record of Cures.-An Amer
lean hum0rist tells us that it would have been
money in his pocket if he had been born with
the cost of a chronic dyspepsia, to which he is a
martyr, and which he says it is impossible to
cure. On this point, Josh Billings for he is
the party referred toy is mistaken. Unless his
stomach differs from all other dyspeptic st0m-
| achS. Hostetter's Bitters will cure him in less
than three. months. This it would be safe 10
guarantee under any penalty. There arc a few.
Il very few, actual specifics for disease in exist
enee, and Hostetter's Stomach Bitters may be
set down It's one OF them. In cases of indiges-
ton it never fails, Persons who had suffered
for many years almost every conceivable spe-
cies of torture, from this agonizing complaint,
have been permanently cured with the Bitters
i'll six weeks. Hundreds Of such instances are
on record, authenticated by the testimony of
prominent men in every walk Of life, eminent
physicians among the number. But this cele-
brated vegetable preparation issomething more
than q stomachic and tonic. It is also an alter
ative of wonderful virtue. In liver complaint
its effect is as direct and Immediate as that Of
ealQmel or blue pill, and far more ~salutary and
in all diseased conditions of the bowels, notably
III gases of constipation, its regulating proper
ties are in the highest degree seryiceable. The
new settlements in the west and all low-lying
tracts Of country infested with uiiasmatic exhal-
atipps, so fruitful at this season, of the various
types of intermittent tepets, should be always
well stocked with this incompatible chologue,
which will cure amy case Of fever and ague il. a
period varying from three days to three or four
weeks, according TO the violence of the com
plant. Nervous disorders which are always
aggravated by the adulteratcd liquors usually
prescribed by physicians, are readily cured by a
course Of this admirable combination medicine,
in which the properties of a stimllant, a tonic
and Alternative are happily blended.

CURIOUS lREES.-JuSC beyond Lllc
DarbOnne or Calcasieu river in the par
ish of Calcasieu, is "a white oak tree,
about two and a half feet in diameter.
There are no branches for twenty-five
or thirty feet up. About twelve or fiji
teen feet mp, a pine limb or top part OF
a pine tree, six or eight inches i'll diam
eter and twelve or sixteen feet long,
runs at right angles through the centre
Of the tree, sticking out about the same
distance on either side. 1t tapers a little
to one end, where there are two or three
knots, giving it the appearance of limb
or tree top. The oak, where it passes
through, is grown closely around it.
The pine is rich in turpentine and will
not decay. There is no fork or hollow
in the oak; but it has the same appear
ance as # Il hole had been made and the
pine stuck through, after which the oak
closed Oh it by growth. The question
is, how did the pine get through the oak,
or the oak round the pine?
In Mallet woods there is another white
oak, OF considerable size, that divides
into two prongs about n and a halt
feetfrom the ground, which afterrunning
up, like pair of bow-legs, about fifteen
feet, unite i'll one round compact stem,
The prongs are about Il and ii halt
feet in diameter; and where they unite
above, the tree is larger than either OF
them, but smaller than both together
Aman can walk between the twoprongs
