Surgical Operation upon Gen. j
{. breckenridge.

A press telegram, da.c Louisville
May 18th, SAYS: An important
surgical operation was performed up
on Gen. John G. breckenridge, at his
home, in Lexington, Kentucky, on
Tuesday, by DR.. Gross, Of Philadrl-
phia, aud DR.. Sayre, Of New York.
His chest was penetrated by tubes,
and inserted between the ribs, and
some relief was afforded. The physi-
clans are of the opinion that the
Generals liver was injured by blow
received during the war from a frag.
ment OF shell, and that his presen,
sutierings are due entirely to tba,
cause. The physicians entertain the
hope that the operation will prove o.
permanent advantage to the patient
LATER-A special to tho Courier
Journal from Lexington, just received
says that Gen Jno. &. Breckenridg,
is sinking rapidly, and his death may
be expected ut any moment.

Kentucky Democracy.

The Democratic State Convention
of Kentucky, which adjourned on
Friday of last week, nominated the
following ticket: For Governor,
Jas. b. McCreery for Lieutenant
Governor, ..Jno. c. Underwood for
Attorney General, Thos. +. Moss !;
for Auditor, ID. H. Smith for Treas
urer, j. W. Tate; and adopted the
following sound platform of principles:
We mold it TO be absolutely essen
tial to the preservation of the liberties
of the citizens that the several States
shall he maintained in all their rights,
dignity and equality as such, complete
and inalienable, and that the admins
tration Of their own domestic concerns
is the sureSt brcaSt-work against anti
republican tendencies. Every at
tempt on the par: of the Federal Gov
eminent to exercise power not dele
gated to it by the Constitution, or to
exercise delegated power in q manner
not therein prescribed, is an act of
usurpation, demanding instant aud
unqualified condemnation of people
Jealous of their liberties and we
| hold that any unconstitutional inter-
ference by the General Government
with the local affairs of any State to
any extent, on any pretence whatever
should at once be repud;ated and
condemned by all classes of every
section of the Union, as all such tend
directly to the destruction of the
federal system, and the consolidation
of all power in a centralized despot-
ism.
The noatbe feature of the Con-
vention was the active participation
OF the venerable Cassius Nj. Clay,
who pledged himself to canvass the
State for the Democratic ticket.

Hearty Endorsement.

We find iu the Cleveland Leader OF
the 7th, communication from an old
''true and tried" Republican in refer
ence to General Sherwood. When we
named General Sherwood, we made nc
special effort to attract attention to him
by sending out marked papers, &C., as il
too ten the case. We knew we had
named good man, and we knew aisC
that if we had struck that chord respon
sive in the human breast, +" it would no
be long before it would manifest itself
and if we had not, all we could do by
the other course would prove futile
His name has, however, passed along
the line, with various measures of en-
dorsenlent, but all agreeing that he is
an able and a worthy man, and woult
make strong candidate to go defor,
the people. We clip the following clos
ing paragraphs from the communication
allnded to;
General sherwood entered the Union
army in the earliest days of the war as a
private in the I4th Ohio Infantry. After
four months service under Mcclellan il
Virginia, he wns transferred by promo
tion to the 11th Ohio, and in the three
years arduous and gallantservice of that
splendid regiment, rose to Colonelcy
and came out of the war with vel
earned breYet as Brigadier General. He
served with his regiment in thirty-threC
engagements, being 122 days under fire.
He participated in Burnside's memoa-
ole campaign in East Tennessee, and in
Sherman's brilliant series of battles be-
tween Chattanooga and Atlanta, taking
Part in the bloody battles at KenesaN

R6s~ The people of the Sixth Distric
are beginning to speak out in favor o.
1. R. Sherwood, for Governor. Heal
how one of them speaks out:
Having been delegate in the con.
vention that nominated General Sher-
wood for Congress, and also having been
a delegate in the succeeding convention
that should have honored itself with his
denomination, and having seen, too,
with what bitterness and modification
the majority of the truest and best Re
publicans left that convention, feeling
that through trickery and double-dealing
they had not only been defeated in their
choice, but that a great injustice had
been done a true, energetic, faithful
servant of theirs-one whom they loved
and wished to honor. Having seen this,
and having seen, moreover the miserable
result of such a proceeding, in giving
over our Sixth Congressional district,
from healthy Republican majority, to
the pitiful disgrace of sending that moral,
as well as physical, Copperhead cripple
to misrepresent the intelligence and
patriotism of our people in Congress,
they hail this suggestion with q God
speed it! Only give the Sixth Con
gressional district a chance to do
justice to the best Representative it has
ever had and we will pledge a majority
on the right side of the ledger.
Truly,

Democratic Tactics.

The Democrats of this State went in
to power two yeals ago with great pro
fessions of economy and reform, but
just how they have economical, and
what they have reformed, no one has
been able to discover. One method by
which they hope to cover up extrava.
giant and useless expendituresof of money,
is thus mentioned by the Columbus cor
respondent of the Cincinnati Times:
Another shabby trick to keep the fig
ures of the appropriation bill down, was
the refusal to make any appropriation
for the payment of the expenses of wit
nesses in the Wood county investga-
ton. Witnesses were summoned here
from different parts of the State, who
were compelled to pay their expenses
here, hotel bills while here, and then 90
home again, without receiving one cent
in return, as was their due. This mean
ness on the part of the General Assembly
worked real hardship in some instances.
The witnesses were given vouchers for
their expenses which they can have the
pleasure of holding until next year, OF
sell at such figures as curbstone brokers
will offer, but then the appropriation
has been kept down you know, for use
this fall, and if the next Assembly does
have to pay all these odd bill, why that's
their own funeral. Thisis the principle
on which the Democratic members have
worked all winter.

Every seven years, psychologists say,
the human body is entirely changed and
renewed. Every moment of our lives,
every part of our bodies is wearing out
and is being built up anew of fresh mat
ter. The work is accomplished by the
blood which goes through every part.
But if the blood becomes weak or vita
ted, and does not perform its work prop
erly, the system is actually poisoned by
the worn-out matter ologging the vital
organs instead Of leaving the body. For
dyspepsia, billiousness, kidney, skin and
liver troubles, feyers, and all diseases
arising from vitiated blood, DIR. WALK

Paul Boynton, the inventor Of life
saving apparatus to be used in the water,
started from Dover for Bologne, at four
O'Clock, on the morning of the 10th, and
when within eight miles off the shore
was taken into the boat which accom-
panied him, not because of exhaustion,
hut because that it had grown dark and
the weather boisterous. They arrived
at Bologne, at eight o'clock.
II can not be said that Walker, Of
New York, who attempted making a
Socrates of himself by using hemlock
poison, of which he died, had not fore
taste of death. In 1857 this gentleman
was poisoned at the National Hotel in
Washington, and nearly killed. In 1861
he was stabbed by a rebel spy in Mary
land, and SO nearly killed that he had
the pleasure of reading an obituary no
tice of himself in the papers. A few
years later he was struck on the head by
falling brick; in 1871 he was run over
by loaded truck, and last Saturday be
gave up the fight, after taking dose of
hemlock by accident.
Particulars received concerning the
terrific rain storm and whirlwind which
swept over portions of Nebraska and
the West, mentioned in recent dispatches,
show the tornado to have been one of
the most terrific ever known to this lat
itude for its extent Buildings were
blown down, bridges overturned scarce
ly anything being able to Withstand the
wind which prevailed. In Indian Terri
tory where the tornado struck Canadian
River, the water raised nine feet within
an hour, overhowing banks and the val
ley to the width of two miles. The loss
of life and property, while considerable
will be comparatively light, as the coun-
try for the most part is but sparsely set
tied and little improved.
A very serious accident occurred to
Judge J. M. Cofinberry and his wife at
on Thursday evening of last
week. They were just returning from
the wedding of their son at Mount Yer
non, and while passing to their resi-
hence in an open carriage, in crossing
he track of the c., G., @. & 1. Road,
ihree freight cars, which were being
packed, struck the hind wheels of the
'arriage, tearing the carriage free from
he horses and dragging it some dis
ance, rendering it perfect wreck. The
Judge had one foot so badly crushed
hat amputation was necessary, and sus-
aimed several severe bruises. His in
uries may prove fatal. Mrs. G. had
shoulder dislocated and sustained
lariety of severe injuries about the head
nd body, At an early hour this morn
ng strong hopes were expressed that
10Th would recover.

B6y- The end of the Wheeler com.
promise is not yet, but Mr.. Wheeler
has gone to New Orleans for a final at.
temp at adjustment. The situation, and
what is expected is briefly stated in q
report of an interview with that gentle
man as follows:
The Legislature meets next Wednes-
day. This adjustment will then be
submitted to the Committee on Privi-
leges and Elections. If the Committee
report favorably upon the plan, then,
Mr.. Wheeler says, all the Democrats
who have as yet refused to enter the
Legislature Will come back, and he feels
sure that there are enough respectable
Republicans already in the Legislature,
outside of the Pinchback element, to
unite with these Democrats and seat the
members declared entitled to seats by
the adjustment. This adjustment
provides for the seating of IL contest
ants; and to carry out its provisions
some nine members of the present Leg.
islature will have to be put out. Eight
of these members are colOred men, and
the whole strength of the Pinchback
men will be brought to bear to back
them up in holding their positions.
