the Commissioners who reached Red

this fact that Stephen Bon's new fall

obituary-An Eminent Physician.

We copy from the San Francisco
Newsletter a part of the obituary of
DIR. William Gilbert Hay, lately de-
ceased-a brother of c. C. Hay, ESQ.,,
of this city:
"The father and grandfather of DR..
William Gilbert Hay were both distin-
guished phyicians. The former gradu-
ted at the University of Pennsylvania,
and the latter at Edinburgh, Scotland,
and he Inherited a natural aptitude for
the profession. Unaided saw with
these gifts conferred by nature, he COM
menced life, and, by the force of his
own genius, arose to that degree of
excellence to which he attained in his
profession.
He entered upon the study Of medi-
cine with the determination not to con
tent himself with m~ediocrity, but to
attain the highest eminence. Before he
graduated he held the responsible posi-
tion of assistant surgeon in st. Joseph's
Hospital, Philadelphia. Receiving his
diploma from the University of Pennsyl-
vania in 1854, in the same year Presi-
dent Pierce appointed him assistant
surgeon in the u. s. Navy, and he was
ordered to the U. s. ship Cyane. Sub
sequently he was detached from that
vessel and ordered to the store-ship
Relief, npon which the sick and wound
ed troops of the Inflated Walker were
to have been received, DR.. Hay being
regarded as the most capable surgeon
among the junior officers. Early in the
year 1858 he was ordered to report for
duty to Capt. Hudson, of the Niagara,
to assist in laying the first ocean cable.
On his return a magnificent gold medal
was presented to him by the Chamber
of commerce and citizens Of New York,
with the inscription: Commemorative
of the part taken by himsin laying the
first telegraph cable between Europe
and America, August, A. D. 1852"
Subsequently resigning his commission
in U. s. Navy he entered upon a lucra-
tive position in Shanghai, and served
in the capacity of Surgeon General in
the Imperial army of China, and won
for himself the highest reputation as a
physician and surgeon. Returning to
the United States, from thence he went
to Paris to investigate the advancement
in medical science, and profited by the
experience Of such men al Drs. Newton
and SHINES. He had studied the dis
eases which prevailed in every climate,
and made himself familiar with all ma
tomical knowledge. He was considered
by the late DR.. Letterman and other
brother physicians, as being the most
skilfful physician on the Pacific coast"

Freund & Bro. are busy as bees in
the work of moving and arranging their
large stock of arms, ammunition, fish
ing tackle, etc., at their new store, one
door south Of Draper s. Hammond's.

the display in the windows, their stock
will be the best assorted and finest yet
seen here.
1t is worth an hours time to look
through their stock of brecch-loading

reliable manufacturers.

He Wanted Blood.

IL occurred on the western pound
train Sunday. He was a young man
who had recently started out from Bos-
ton, and who labored under the impress
sion that the Union Pacific railroad
extended along in front of Sitting Bulbs
door, and that Laramie City was settled
by a set of barbarians who dressed in the
cool and economical costume of the
Greek slave. That Boston contribu-
tions for the heathens were distributed
here, and that while the train stopped
for supper he could go out near the
track and shoot three or four grizzly
bears, and have them stuffed and sent
to his girl. He was a very ferocious
looking young man, with side whiskers
of the hue peculiar to the aurora bor-
calls, and he wore one of those little
caps, shaped like an inverted spittoon
with a tasAa on it.
When the train was moving along at
a fair rate of speed, u loud report rang
out upon the still air like the crack of
doom and the young man with the
skim milk eye was a different being.
1t seemed that he was ready for some
thing Of this sort. He had got it into
his head that Laramie and Fort Lara
ME were one and the same place, so he
had not come into this home of the red
man unarmed. He jumped over five
car seats and sat down without much
preparation into the lap of a fat old
lady from Milwaukee, executed another
spasmodic tumble and made for the
car door with an old revolver that car
ried a ball like a homeopathic pill, took
a tintype of his girl out Of a hip pocket
where he had carried it next to his
heart during the entire trip, gave it to
q passenger, saying: IF I die you may
send this to Arminta Ann Singer,
Boston, Mass cooked the deadly dol
lar and a half weapon, and boldly step
ped out on the platform to get seven or
eight scalps as curiosities. He met the
conductor, and the conductor was more
cool and prepossessed. He said: young
man, you are evidently laundering after
blood. If you will wait until we get to
Laramie, we will try to buy you some.
The cylinder under the couch has burst,
but no harm is done. Calm your fears.
Go in and battle your head. Brace up
my friend. Do you see that red nose
Democrat sitting in there on the front
seatp Go in and tell him you want to

THERE are many reasons why you
should vote the Democratic ticket
next Tuesday, and not one Why you
should vote the Radical ticket. You
should vote for the Democrats because
they are in favor of an honest govern
mcut and for retrenchment and re.
form. Because they want to put
thieves out of Office and honest men
in. Because they want to reiore all
Of the States to an equal footin, Be
ca,'ss they want 3" reduce your take
and the tariff Because they want to
stop the sale Of the public domain and
the giving away Of the same to rich
railroad corporations, and keep it sa-
cre,i IN the use Of settlers and other
poor men who have no farms. BE-
cause they want to put stop to the
commission Of frauds in the Indian
bureau. Because they are not in fs-
vor Of qusrtering the Federal soldiers
in States to prevent fair elections.
These, and hundreds Of other reasons
We might mention. should induce eve

A Fatal Misfake.

The Administration has made mi. /.
take fatal to its own plan in South
Carolina. The policy Of the military
repression N that State was inaugura-
ted at too early date preceding the
Novenbr election. Time enough has
been unwittingly given to discuss that
policy, and expose to the country the
nefarious design that gave it birth.
The pretexts for il are already shown
to be transparently false; and even
among the most partisan Republicans
feeling of indignation is yelling up
against it. Gov. Cbamberlain's EN-.
biitered address. replete with allega-
tions of "vioience" and''outrage," was
given to the country nearly ten days
too soon, and the contents Of it have
been so ,flectually refuted, that even
the author of it is getting ashamed Of
the document. Ii the South Carolina
Outrage Mill" had only been delayed
till November !, and, then, set 10
work, turning out startling sensations,
il might have accomplished much by
way of exciting sectional luminosity,
but the novelty Of the thing will have
disappeared and the ofttold tale OF
"rebel crimes" will cease to engage the
public ear before the election arrives.
In this latest scheme OF partisan des-
peration the Republican leaders have
evinced not only an absence OF patriot
ism, but an utter lack of foresight in
handling the Southern question y
The scheme Of military repression in
South Carolina promises therefore to
recoil disasterously upon its authors.
The telegraph and the Press--those
benifcent agencies Of modern intelli'
gence-have already convinced the
eagre masses of the bollowness of Gov.
Chamberlain's partisan appeals, and
the fact affords the Democrats a text
from which to preach the funeral ser
mon over the dead body of sectional
hate and tyrany in the Sou,h.-lLou'
...;lla Man,
