A had 70 ecOrd for L.. =. Senator.

From the Chicgoa Tribune.
The people of Oregon are circulating a
petition about Mr.. Nipple, who now
writes Mitchell, United States Senator,
after his name. There are three ugly
charges in the petition. The first is that
Nipple, while teaching school in Butler
County, Pennsylvania, seduced one OF his
scholars, whom he was obliged TO marry.
The second is, that he afterwards seduced
school-teacher, and ran away to Cali
fornia with her and new name and 81
600 of stolen money. The third is, that
heafterwards abandoned this second victim
and married his third in 1862, so that he
lived in bigamy from then till 1869, when
his first wife got divorce.
1t appears then, that Mr.. Nipple is
charged with % seduction, CD theft,
co adultery, "a bigamy. The petition
says: ''All the witnesses are still living,
and will substantiate the facts so far
as each are (sic) concerned, when re-
CURED" Moreover, the Portland Ore
gonian, the leading Republican paper in
Oregon, publishes the charges in full,
and promises to prove them in full, if sued
| for libel.

( From the Newly ork Times.

The experience we have thus far had of
Congress this session has not been encour-
aging. The members seemed to have
met in very bad temper; and in the in
Vulnerable squabbles over their back pay
they displayed an indifference to public
opinion for which no one could have been
prepared. The tone of the debates, es-
pecially during the few days preceding
the adjournment for the holidays, was
that which doubtless characterizes the
tipsy wrangles of gamblers in New
York gin-mill.

WHY YEAST POWDER SHOULD BE
UsED.-Because it is much more convenient
than brewers or hop yeast, produces better
and more nutritious food, and never fails OF
success. This is particularly applicable to
DooLEY's YEAST POWDER as each package
not only contains the full weight as repre-
sented, but the contents are perfectly free
from any injurious substances Nothing
enters into its composition but articles that
are healthy and nourishing, and the bread
prepared with it is such as can be eaten
with impunity by the most sensitive in
valids. For sale by grocers everywhere.

Richard Coke has been inaugurated, and
will attempt to seize the governors office

which you claim, and section three of
election declaration attached to said con-

tbs day of their election, under which the
governor elect claims office, and more
than four years having expired since your
