The best receipt we know, if you want

self, how much you have lost, how much
you have not made, and the poor pros

rolls up his sleeves, whistles and sings,

and greenbackers all over the
Union, we fail to see how the Re-
publican party can hope for any
standing in the next Congress. The
San Francisco Chroaicle, In COM
menting upon the silly claim of a
Republican paper Of large gains In
the next House, hazards the pre-
diction that the present Republi.
can membership of 140 will be re-
duced to 1875. This Is really an over
estimate. The Democratic party
will have large working ma iority
over all parties in the next House
of Representatives, and the proba-
bilities are violent that the Repub-
lican members will be reduced to u
mere c0rporaps guard.
If there must be talk about the
death of political party 1t seems
to us that Republican journalists
are laborlDg under queer missp.
prehension as to the identity of the
corpse. II there must indeed be a
"wake," we are inclined to the
opinion that the curious guest will
read on the coffin-plate "Republi.

THE Democratic State Conven-
tion of New York was in session at
Syracuse and the Republican State
Convention at Saratoga on the
same day. Erastus Brooks was
making his address as permanent
President of the Democratic Con.
vention about the same time that
Roscoe Conkling was making his
acknowledgements at being elected
President of the Republican Con-
vention. This was something of
coincidence, but there was another
which may fairly be called curious.
In opening his address Mr.. Brooks
counseled his Democratic fellow
citizens in the language of u form
ula of the Roman Catholic theolo-
CLANS, sin essentials unity, in non.
essentials liberty, in all things
charity" Mr.. Conkling ended his
speech with the identical words
which Mr.. Brooks had employed in
opening his. How many of either
party will care to carry out the
admirable spirit of this admoni-
tiOn.?

The political enemies of Mr..
Tilden, both in his own party and
out of it, have an alert and expert.
enced man to deal with. We have
already alluded to the fact that
John Kelly, the head of Tammany
Hall, captured the New York Dem.
ocratic State ConveDiior. That
was the first day. To the amaze.
ment of Kelly, on the second day
the tables were completely turned
on the autocrat of New York city,
the Convention rallied to Tilden,
nominated Tildenite for the only
office which is In question this
year-Judge of the Court of Ap-
peals-and ran away with the or
ganization. Mr.. Kelly undertook
to prevent the nomination of Mr..
Tilden at st. Louis and failed.
Taking advantage of the rightful
Presidents absence in Europe, last
year, the Tammany Chief captured
the State organization of the party
and gave it bias inimical to Mr..
Tilden. The usurper has now met
the shock OF battle on his own cho-
sen ground; and, with every pre-
sage of victory, he was beaten,
horse, foot and dragons. The cor.
respondents say that Mr.. Kelly sat,
during the mastery movement
which pushed him from his usurped
stool, like a man dazed. Very
likely.

A Forest Giant.
[stocklon Herald. sep.. eOth.l

Messrs. McKiernan, Manley
and Hubbs, of Visalia, shipped
from Tulare City this morning a
section of one of the largest, II not
the largest of all the big trees that
have yet been discovered in CALI
fornia. The tree from which this
section was taken was Ill feet in
circumference at the butt, and
stood $50 feet in height, at which
elevation it was broken of. AT the
breaking-off place it was IL feet in
diameter. These gentlemen have
been at work getting this section
ready for exhibition for nearly q
year. The section is IA feet in
height, and was cut from the body
of the tree IL feet from the ground,
the base bing so irregular in form,
the irregularity extending up from
the roots, that 1t was inexpedieut
to take the lowest part. At the dis
tance of IL feet from the ground
the tree was 26 feet inches in di-
ameter, this being the diameter of
the base of the section exhibited.
The top of the tree, or stub as 1t
really was, was felled 26 feet from
the ground, the labor of telling
it occupying four men nine
days with axes. 1t made a noise
when it came down that reverber.
ated through the mountains like q
peal of thunder. The work of TAX
ing out the section which is exhib-
tied was then menced from the
top. The men dug the inside of
the tree out with axes, these tools
being the only ones that could be
used to advantage. The wood was
left six inches thick, exclusive of
the bark, which ranges from three
to ten inches in thickness. The
diameter Of the tree where 1t was
felled (the diameter of the top of
the section that is to be exhiblted)
is twenty-one feet. This shell was
sawed down, making fifteen gigan-
tic slabs. This tree stood six miles
away from a public road, and a
road was built this whole distance
in order to get this section of the
tree out. Each slab made a load
for eight horses. The whole fifteen
make two car loads. The owners
of this great natural curiosity will
exhibit it in this city during the
Fair, after which they will travel
through the Slate, thence through
the East and to Europe. This tree
is claimed to be four feet larger in
diameter than any other tree that
has been discovered on the coast.
