OUR LEGISLATURE UNCHANGED.

According to the latest returns the CONS
plexion of the West Virginia Legislature re.
mains unchanged. The new Legislature.
which meets next January, will be Dem
ocratic by exactly the same majority as in
lSI6-47 on joint ballot The new I.egisIa-
ture will elect two United States Senator'S
one to succeed Henry G. Davis, Democrat.
whose term expires in March, 1877, and the
other to fill the vacancy caused by tue death
of Senator Allen 7. Caperton. The latter
place was filled last August by Gov. Jacob
by the appointment of ex,G Gov Samuel Price,
Democrat, bat this appointment could only
hold good until the meeting of the Legisla-
tuEe. Amongst the candidates already an
nounced for the vacant places are Hons. H.
Z. Davis, c. J. Faulkner, Samuel Price.
Frank Hereford and Mr.. Henry S. Walker.
The Democratic saving in expenditures last
year amounted to an average of one hundred
and four thousand dollars to each Congress
sional district. How would you like the
amount which ought to hare been sarcd and
'ras not, during ten years of Radical extray-
agance, to be now in the pockets of the peo.
pie !! This district would then have a cool
million of dollars moro wealth than she now
has. And yet Col. Lamon cannot see it

what he knew about the Grant Hayes party
he said:
''Whle we are justly proud of the great
men and of the great measures with which
our party is historically identified, we, as Re,
Pubicaas, are yet conscious what We need at
time when every one of US knows-whcther
any OF US are willing openly to confess it or
not-that that party name that we cherish so
sacrcdIy has been stained with foul disgrace
the corrup,ioDs of administration, exposed in
every direction, and eliminating at last in
the seI!-confrssed bribery Of the Republican
Secretary Of War; the low tone of political
honor aud Of political morality that has pre-
vailed in official Republican service the in
creasiDg disposition of the officers aud agents
Of the administration OF this country to pros
titutc the party organization relcutlessly and
at all costs to personal ends has everywhere
aroused the apprehension of the friends of
free government; and has startled and alarmed
the honest masses Of the Republican party"

thority. 1t is said that Mr. Washburne pre-
fers to remain in Paris until the end of the

THE Portland School for Medical Instruc
ton has taken wise course in insisting
upon higher standard of education for the
applicants for admission to its privilege.
Candidates for its instruction are subjected
to an entrance examination such as is en-
forced in but one Medical College in the coun-
try. The raising of the standard of admis-
sion is to be warmly commended. A de-
plorable laxity has heretofore prevailed, and
the result has been to let loose upon the COM
munity a host of men with medical diplomas
who knew nothing outside of their profession
and far too little inside.

The RespOnse.

The extracts from our exchanges and tele-
grams from various parts of the country indi-
cate that the Cincinnati nominations receive
the hearty approval of the party throughout
the country. It is also evident that all the
elements of the party will cordially unite on
the ticket and give it that hearty support
which will ensure its success in November.
Never did the Republican party enter upon
acampaign with brighter prospects of victory.

The Democratic jubiation in this city over
the defeat of Mr.. Blaine has entirely died
away. That despatch from Washington to
Gov. Hayes did the business. The Demo-
Gratis thought at first announcement of the
nomination that the man whom they most
fear and hate would be totally out of the can
vass, and that they would have some show
in Maine. When they discovered that the
ex-Speaker was coming to this State to con-
duct the campaign in person, their courage
at once forsook them, and they have again
given up all hope.

HONEST OPINION.

MIR. Fl, R. STEVENS
DEAR SIR-This is to show that my son was taken
sick in January 1864 with Scroiula which came out
in large and ulcers his leg and hip. His leg
was sweled more than twice its natural size. He
had several doctors of high standing in their profess
sion-two from Boston and three from Charlestown-
without getting bit better. He obliged to lie
wherever he was placed, for he had no use of his
limbs whatever. When we had given up all hopes of
his living we were told to try VEGETINE, the great
blood remedy; and he had taken it but short time
before could see great change The sores run so
bad that we had to change the cloths four or five
times a day. Still, he getting better; for he
was soon able to sit up in bed, and by constant
of VEGETINE, it has cured him. He has lame
leg which he will probably have for life; but all
honestly believe if we had used VEGETINE before
we had bothered with those doctors, it would have
saved the of his leg and restored it to natural
health hope all those troubled with Scrofula will
read this testimony of me and my son, who is now
well and able to speak for himself.
CATHERINE MAHONEY,
DANIEL MAHONEY,
10 Trenton St., Charlestown, Mass.
May 10, 1872.
The above plain but honest statement conclusively
shows the quick and thorough cleansing effects of the
VEGETINE in Scrofula.
VEGETINF is acknowledged by all classes OF people
to be the best and most reliable blood purifier in the
world.
Vegetine is Sold by all Druggists.

MARRIED Unsatisfactory morning a
woman appeared at the police station milling
from Cape Breton. She said that about seven
years ago she married man named Brown at
Cape Breton, who afterwards moved to Port
land She lived here with him about year
and half, when she was taken sick, and at
his suggestion, she went back to Cape Breton.
Not long since she heard that he was in this
city, and she came here to look him up. The
police took the matter in charge and hunted
Brown up. He was found in the eastern part
Of the city living with a second wife. He
showed papers which proved that he has Sc
cured divorce from his first wife, He is liv-
ing very comfortably with his second wife who
has young child. Wife No. 1 was overcome
with grief when she learned THAT her husband
had married another wife, but as he has pro-
cured divorce the police can do nothing in
the matter

The senators and representatives have not
yet received their nice knives. They are in the
Secretary's office, and will doubtless be distrib-
uted ere long. Last year the Legislature I'M
dertook to cut down the appropriation for sta
tionery, etc., but Mr.. Stacy, before his resigna-
ton, ordered stationery, knives, ETC., as usual,
so that the Office has over-run its appropriation
by about $1,000. Isn't it about time that this
custom of providing three boxes of stationery
and two dollar knife for each member, officer
and page of the houses of the Legislature, be
abolished? There are members who make this
sort Of thing great point, but one would as
soon expect intelligent legislation by men wear
ing 81 inch hats and No. 10 boots as from the
class to which we have alluded.
One of the late candidates for Adjutant Gen
eral tells good story of himself. He sent
letter to member of the House who is mem
Der of the Society of Friends, in which he set
forth his deeds of valor and blood. The disci-
pie of John Fox made no written reply, but
returned generous supply of peace tracts.
We doubt if the ex-son of Mars has profited by
reading them, but for quiet Quaker joke it is
rather racy.
The present management of the Augusta
House is receiving most fattering comment
from its patrons. Mr.. Withheld, the proprie-
tor, has secured the services of the Messrs
Thompson, who are so popularity known in con-
nection with the Kiarsarge House at North
Conway. Mr.. Studley, who has been at the
Augusta House some time, is also retained.
A number of gentlemen in Augusta have
made arrangements for weekly social gather
ing at the Augusta House, so that there will be
an unusual liveliness at the state capital this
session. larger number of members than
usual have their wives with them during the
