The Virginia Enterprise speaks some
good words for Mr.. W. G. Ralston OF
tho Bank of California, which we be-
lieve are deserved and in which we
heartily coincide. Mr.. Ralston has for
years exercised q commanding influence
in the monetary world of the Pacific
coast. During this period, he of course
must have made enemies as well as
friends. The former, however, were
very careful to keep still so long as they
thought Mr.. Ralston's influence and
power was az mighty rs heretofore.
Whether ii is or not. we do not know,
but wo do know that il he has fallen
from his high estate. every one Of
those opponents will be as demonstra-
lively pugnacious as before they were
quiet and submissive. As We have not
bowed before Mr.. Ralston's throne. while
he was the acknowledged potentate, so
now we may justly say in the time of his
supposed declension, that we trust those
sinister rumors are not true, and that he
may hereafter as heretofore, occupy the
proud position of being among the first
of the money kings Of the Pacific.

1UNEILNG THE BRITISH CHANNn.-A
concession hns Mt last been granted by
the French Assembly to NJ. Michel Che
vaiier, noted mining engineer and DO
lltlcai economist OF distinction, TO under
take the channel tunnel between Franco
and England, and an experimental So
ciety, with u capital of $500, 900, has been
formed to determine the probabilities Of
the enterprise. NJ. Chevalier anticipates
that the work of driving tunnel will be
most easy, since in all human proba-
blhty 1t will traverse n very thick lnyer
OF chalk. The track Of the cable will be
followed as nearly rs possible from the
East of Dover to the West of Calais. and
Mt each end we'll will be dug l27
metres, or over 400 feet below the live
waters of the high seas, whence perfora-
ton OF the submarine solid about 200
feet below the bottom OF the strait will
be commenced A gallery of approach,
two metres i'll diameter, will be com
menced, and if successfully completed,
the tunnel will be made. The expert.
mental gallery complete will cost
50, OOO, 900; the tunnel and the road COM
plete will cost $50, 200, 900. No blastinp
will be resorted to, but very powerful
machine is to be employed, which will
eat Its way from end to end of the course
IN two years. Ventilation will be pro-
cured, as in other tunnels, by an iniec-
tion of compressed mir. Evidently the
terrors of the English Channel are taking
their place among the ogres of The east.
Science has attacked the monster, and its
capitulation to nnti-seasick steamers. life

question of time. .r.l, ,,ifiy =

The Union Herald considers the "spitit-
ing away" of the ballot-boxes and all
papers concerning the recent election in
Barnwell, q serious thing. So do we,
but we can't help, at the same time,
chuckling over the discontinue of Les
lie and fthe parties connected with him
in the imposition of this burden and
outrage upon the people of Barnwell.
Our neighbor once twitted us for our
innooent simplicity in some matter.
We can now return the compliment, II it
thinks tlll1 this outrage much worse than
Leslie's mode of carrying the election
through the Legislature, or than the cor. cor.
rupt means he has used in securing the
votes for Blackyille over Barnwell. It's
language about the ballot-box being
sacred from violent hands, and the will
OF the people being respected, &C., the
purity and :sanctity of the ballot-box,
&C., is entirely out of place when applied
to this man and his elections. There is
nothing sacred about ballot-box which
Leslie has manipulated. While, there
o
fore, we condemn as much as any one any
tampering with elections, any violence
which will thwart the expression Of the
will Of the people, it is no moro worse to
destroy o box than to stuff it, to break up
an election than to procure it fraudu-
lentiy, and to use it for merely corrupt
and selfish ends And as to secondary
evidence proving, in the absence of the
ballots, what the vote was, IL would
hardly be admissible, unless it proved
also what 1t was in other respects, as well
as numerically, and. that it was, the fair
and fjnst expression Of the will of thh
peoples tEThe whole thing is an. illhstiiak
ton Of how Inevitably violence viii foi-
low fraud and corruption. They are, of
course, both to be condemned and
punished alike. But the one should be
more sternly rebuked, and, if possible.
naors severely puniahed, because it. is
not only bads but pfopagates the other.
When any ''ferreting OUT begins, there.
fore, we should like to see it begin at the
beginning. "

were certainly spirited and intelliaent.

How Nor TO DrK.-Thousands fall q
prey to disease, not becausethe maladies
that affect them are necessarily fatal, but
because they lack the requisite amount
OF active vitality to make valiant re-
sistance to the enemy. 1t is a wise pre-
caution to keep the body always In q
state of defence-always prepared to
''fend off the germs Of epidemic and
other disorders, and to battle the evil In
fiuence Of damp miasma md sudden
thermometrical changes. There is no
difficulty in doing thia. It is q fact as
we'll authenticated rs that two and two
make four, that Hostetter's Stomach Bit
ters is specially adapted to this purpose.
and for the simple reason that its inyi-
gorating and regulating properties arc
superior to those Of any other medicine
in the world. During the twenty wears
that it has been in general use, ample
opportunities have been afforded to com
pare its medicinal properties with those
OF other preparations clniming to be of
similar class. and the result has been
its adoption by the American people as
the standard tonic of the nge, its intro
duction into every civilized portion of
the Western hemisphere, and an annual
sale which dwarfs into insignifcance the
demand for all its would-be competitors
The record upon which it's popularity
rests is curiosity in medical -literature
for it includes an almost unlimited va-
riety of human ailments and disabilities.
In fact, no other remedy possesses such
a variety of hygienic virtues, md il is to
these characteristics that it owes its pres
tige as household medicine. M14t34I
