This Sarsaparilla is combination Of
vegetable Observation-Disclosures, Man
drake Y elbow Dock-with the Iodides
of Potassium and Iron, and is the
most efficacious medicine yet known
for the diseases it is intended to cure.
Its ingredients are SO skilfully
combined that the full Alternative
effect of each is assured, and while
it is so mild as to be harmless even
to children, it is still so effectual as
to purge out from the system those
impurities and corruptions which
develop into l0athsonfc disease.
The reputation it enjoys is derived
from its cures, and the confidence
which prominent physicians all over
the country repose in it proves their
experience of its usefulness.
Certificates attesting its virtues
have accumulated, and are con-
stantly being received, and as many
of these cases are publicly known,
they furnish convincing evidence Of
the superiority Of this Sarsaparilla
over every other Alternative medicine.
So generally is its superiority to any
other medicine known that we need
do no more than to assure the public
that the best qualities it has ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

Esq, As candidate for Judge Of the

ton At New Ulm, has been received
with marked satisfaction throughout
the. entire district; and, at Winona
St. Paul and other places, where Mr..

commended. All the papers Of the
District cordially and unquah6sdly sup
port him. The endorsement which he
receives, from the highest sources, out

ing. There, the only question is one
of merit. They are not influenced by
local preferences or considerations and
are only concerned in maintaining the
integrity Of the Judiciary by the cleo
ton Of men to the judicial Office
whose legal requirements, habits of
thought, integrity Of proper and moral
courage qualify them to discharge the
duties pertaining to the Office Those
who know Mr.. Wallin, regard him IS
not only a thorough lawyer but as pos
sessing, in an eminent degree, those pc
culiar mental endowments and that
decision of character which are essen
tial. The universal testimony is, that

A few weeks since the Sheriff Of this
county made and publ, he'd statement
giving the amount of the tax collected
at the Courthouse for the three years
past, amounting TO S4jj972. This
amour; does not include what Is called
the privilege tax and the liquor license
tax, also collected By the Sheriff for
the same three years, which amounts
TO $4,000, making grand total of
$4SS,l72. This Is pretty large sum
nearly half million Of dollars in
three years-aud It Is generally con-
ceitd that Vicksburg pays more than
eighty.dve per cent. of this tax.
l. the above was all the tax we had
paid for ;he past three years It would
not be 50 bad, but we have had city
tax TO pay amounting to nearly, if not
quite, as much as we pay 10 the Sher-
III, making in all nearly one million
dollars in three years.
Before the Radicals had control of
the town it was customary-and we
believe the law made It the duty Of the
city cficers TO make out and publish q
yearly financial statement of the
amount OF taxes collected and ex.
pended, and for what purpose it
was paid out, 50 that the Taxpayers
would know what was done with their
money. Under Radical rule, we scarce
IS expected to have matters attended. 10
properly; but when we elected Demo
cratic officers three years since, we look
ed FOR a change, but in regard to the
yearly financial statement It has not
come.
Ii the Mayor and Aldermen will, as
the Sheriff has done, give us state
men! OF all the taxes collected for the
past three years from every source,
even down 10 the fines in The Mayors
Court, 1t vii! enable the taxpayers to
tell how mauy years it will take them
70 pay the iu,l value Of their property,
counting integes! at the regular bank
ra:a IN Nicksburg, About all they now
know Is, that they pay in a large
amouu; Of money and the Treasury ia
a!ways empty.

The French Elections - Undoubted
Success of the Republicans--Some
Of the Elaotions to be InYeatigated.

PARIS, Oct. lG.-l1 am The definite re-
suit OF the election is unknown yet. The
Rapel claims that j24 elections give 3l7
seats to Republicans and l01 to McMahon-
ties, and that ten second ballots will be
required. Several Republican papers
speak OF the investigations elections must
undergo in the Chamber. The Steele
urges the Chamber TO use unsparlng jus.
tice In this respect.
I2 Incomplete returns, except from
the Colonies, show that 3l4 Republicans
and 20l Conservatives have been elected,
Fourteen second ballots will be necessary.
The Conservatives retain l42 seats OF the
$50 held by them In the late Chamber. The
Republicans retain 297 seats Of the 1858
members who voted the order OF the day
censurIng the dissolution Of the Chamber.
Among the prominent Bonapartists
elected is Robert Mitchell, and among
those defeated are II. DeMaupas and
Prince DeArenberg. Both parties are
dissatisfied. The new Chamber consists
OF $50 Republicans and 2l0 Conservatives.
With this strength, IL is thought the Con.
servatlyes can control or compromise.
