plicatiOn of Wizard Oil.
DR.. HAMLIN:-When I met your agent
here, in September, | had been two years suf-
fering severelywith Rheumatism, half of that
time confined to the house, and three months
at time to my bed. The balance of the
time / was compelled to crawl around upon
clutches. l used medicines without number,
including large quantity of morphine, all of
which proved worse than useless. AS to what
suffered, the English language cannot tell
it to any one who has not tried its realities
The first application of Wizard Oil gave
me relief in fifteen minutes, and dispelled my
doubts in twenty-four hours. I used bottle
a day for ten days. The next morning after
the use of the first bottle,
left my Clutches at home and
walked down town without them
for the first time i'm two years.
Since thenI have not used them, and can now
split cord of wood quick any man in
Adrian. Some of my friends at first thought
such a sudden cure would kill me, but wanted
a change, though it should be death.
That all who read this may know how /
have been, / will say, when l commenced
using Wizard Oil, | could reach around my
leg above the knee with one hand
Il was reduced to a mere skele-
ton, and most of the time
when I moved upon
crutches, or tried to stand
without them, L could not raise
either foot from the floor.
used fifteen bottles in all, but have not used
any for two months. I now feel as well as
ever did in my life, and have gained thirty five
pounds in flesh. But l must tell you it seems
almost like dream. You can refer to me as
often as Won wish apd hundrede IF the cit;
zens of Adrian will testify to the truth of
my statements.

MORE PRoBABLE.-In the list of can
didates published in the San Francisco
Spirit Of tie Times of last week, is the
name Of Hon. Wiley j. Tinnin, OF Trini-
ty county, as Democratic candidate for
Congress- in the Third District. That
Mr.. Tinnn should seek this nomination
is not strange, and we look upon it as
much more likely than the recent an
nouncomert in the Ch,onicle that he was
hinted at as the Workingmen's nominee
for Governor. The other Democratic
candidates for Congress in this District
are j. X. Luttrel and Barclay Henley,
of Sonoma, j. 4. Murphy, Of Del Norte,
and c. p. Berry, of Sutter.

Mr.! TiNNIN is another outside delegate
who has no favors to expect from Sacra-
mento, and little regard for facts. In
Committee of the Whole to-day, while
discussing the section relative to tho seat
of Government, he declared that great
mistake had been made in locating the
Capital at Sacramento, but very wisely
retained from attempting to explain the
nature of the mistake. He also said that
there are toe many politicians In the State,
and that perhaps now that the State
Capital is already here-it would be best
TO keep it where it is in order to get thom
killed Off! The gentleman doesn't guard
himself well. He forgets that lie is one
of the most persistent office seekers and
politicians in the Stale, ard that he comes
to Sacramento whenever n Democratic
Convention or Legislature meets here.
And yet he looks remarkably robust. We
fear that the gentleman will have to give
lis some other remedy-we SEQ no hope
of his dying in the near future. Sucya-
neato Bee.

FAyoRABLE CoMMENT.-TheC Chicago
717Jnpe editorial ly reviews the reasons
alleged by the opponents Of the bill for the
restriction Of Chinese immigration, and
concludes that the objections to the bill
are more fanciful than substantial. 1t
says: Every Government has and ex-
ercises the inherent right and control of
migration to and residence of foreign
people within its limits. The Chinese
treaty did net even require n notice for
its abrogation. The objection that we
will lose our foreign trade has no practi-
cal force. Our purchases from China
largely exceed our imports to her shore
If they can buy cheaper and better goods
of the Uhited States, they will continue
TO do 50, despite treaties. Even If China
closes all her treaty ports against us, we
can transfer our business TO the free port
OF Hongkong. They cannot injure us by
retaliatory measures, as only 53l Ameri-
cans now reside in China, and their liberty
of action is somewhat restricted. The
other objections 10 the new legislation are
equally groundless." ;"
Weekly Trinity journal., 1879-02-22

SCENES AND INCIDENTs.-Vivid des-
criptions OF the occurrences in the Senate
during the debate on the Chinese Bill
were telegraphed by the Associated Press.
From Saturdays dispatches we extract
the following account of the situation
during the debate and following the pass
age of the Bill:
Grover, ofcourse, was busy talking with
his Democratic colleagues. Sargent,
pale from illness, but full OF nervous ac-
tivity, watched the proceedings like
hawk. Booth, quiet and inpi essive in
manner, moved slowly but restessly from
the floor to the cloak rooms and back
again, on the lookout for stragglers, Jones
smoked cigar after cigar; sitting in the
deor Of the eloak-room, arguing with
other devotees of the weed between putfs,
upon the questions Of political economy
involved in the pending question. Nit
chell kept closely to his seat, ready to
vote on every question, and occasionally
taking part in the colioquies which were
interspersed among the speeches, and
Sharon also kept his place, chatterng
with Burnside or Matthews in their neigh
boring chars, and promptly responding
to every roll-call.
Immed lately upon tho passage Of the
bill Sargent was warmly congratulated by
numerous Senators, including several
who had voted against it. The cempli
ment was richly deserved, fer, without
disparagement to the earnest efforts Of
others, the successful issue of the long
and exceedingly difficult contest in the
Senate, from the time the bill first reach
ed that body until it passed, must be at
trbuted very largely, II not chiefly, to
his good management and unceasing, in
telligent efforts. 1t is needless to add
that high credit is also due to Mr.. Sar-
gent for his exertiohs in this behalf dat
ing back through a series of years conci-
dent with his term OF service in the Sen
ate, and even previously, when q mem
Der of the House of Representatives.
Mr.. Sargent, as soon as the final vote
was recorded, took occasion to express
his warm appreciation Of the valuable
services of Senator Thurman in helping
the passage of tho bill. He says truly
that the Pacific coast owes Judge Thur
man Il deep debt of gratitude, not only
for the able and logical speeches be has
made during the debate, but for the free
and forcible use of his great personal in
fuence,
S Sargent and other friends of the bill,
also express their warm appreciation ofthe
exertions OF Senator Blaine. who through
out tho discussion dealt stalwart blows
for the interest Of the Pacific coast, and
did it, too, at the INN inent risk of sacri-
fcing, or at least weakening the political
support Of largo portion of his own pNr.
ty in the New England and other North
err States. His chivalr0us espousel of
the people of the Pacific slope should not
be forgotten.

THE necessity of getting up on cold
mornings to light the kitchen fire has
long been one Of the great troubles Of
married men in cold regions. The True
kee Republican tells of the device Of Mr..
Burckhalter, sfthat place, to evade this
dnwoleome task. 1t is great inventions
and will lend undying fame TO the namo
of Burckhalter. Az night, he puts II
horseshoe in the bottom Of his kitchen
stove, and in the nail holes sticks pieces
of matches, with the business end up
ward. On the ends of these matches tests
piece of sand-paper, and above the pa
per are shayings dipped in kerosene, pieces
Of pitch, and sticks OF wood. To the
sand-paper is attached a string, which
communicates, By means OF wire, with
his bedroom. Cold mornings, he thrusts
n hand out Of the bed and gives the wire
1t pull which draws tho sand paper across
the siriace Of the match ends. Then he
snugglcs down and takes another nap,
while the fire gets the Kitchen warm and
the tea kettle 10 boiling.

WHO DID IT ?-Now that the Fifteen
at-stime Chinese Bill has passed both
Houses of Congress, politicians and press
throughout the country are busily endeav-
oring to make it appear that one or the
other Of the great political parties are en-
titled to an extra share Of credit for its
pas ssage. This is sheer nonsence, rs a
perusal of the vote in the Senate will
show that neither Democrats nor Repub
licans enough voted for the measure to
have even come near passing it without
the aid of the others. Indeed the vote on
the bill shows that politically the Sena-
tors were mere equally divided than they
have been on any measure for long
time. The San Francisco Chronicle
boldly asserts that Denis Kearney was
the power that moved that august body.
But reflection will show that it was passed
as a matter Of political expediency. Cali
fornia has suddenly become a most i'm
portant factor in National politics. Nei-
ther the Republicans nor the Democrats
dared refuse to grant her almost unani
nous request for relief from unlimited
Chinese immigration. Neither political
party is entitled one grain more Of credit
than is the other. Individually Senator
A. a. Sargent, Of California, did more
than any other nan toward securing the
passage Of the Chinese Bill. In his ef-
forts TO this end he was ably seconded by
Blaine and Thurman, tho leading candi-
dates Of the opposing parties for the
Presidency. Even Bayard, who at FIRST
the measure, voted aye on
its final passage and it is not improbabl
that his Presidential aspirations influence
cd his action in that direction.
Weekly Trinity journal., 1879-02-22

The Vallejo Chronicle pays its respects
to Congressman Luttrell in the following
deliberate manner /: although the fact
might seem impossible, practice is i'm
proving Luttrell as a liar. His last lie,
delivered in the Chinese debate in tho
House yesterday, about "the Republican
party" turning Off whito laberors on Mare
Island in 1874 to employ Chinese. is one
of the biggest he has yet told. The case
to which he alludes relates to the exca-
walton of the Dry Dock pit. The job OF
this excavation was let out, under adver-
tised proposals, TO the lowest bidder. The
lowest bidder was Charles Murphy, a
Democrat, and 1t was he who employed
the Chinamen to whom Luttrell refors.-
The Congressman from this District was
as well aware OF these facts as is any per
son in Vallejo, when he made his charge"

EASTERN OPINIoN.-A New York
dispatch of February 10Th says =" There
is no Disgusting the fact that the fate of
:he Chinese bill is as great a question
with Eastern journals as with those of the
Pacific coast. Here, almost without ex-
ception, and utterly regardless of politics,
the newspapers scout the bill as dishonor-
able and dishonest, and everything ro-
lating 20 China or The Chinese has sud
denly received new interest. 1t would
be impossible TO reproduce 1.-THE of the
newspaper comments and extracts which
are published here daily from all Quarters,
to give tho sense of the country. The
general impression is that it is Know
Nothingism revived, with the snbstitu-
tion of the Mongoian for the Catholic
Irish. Petitions to the President to
withhold his signature to the bill are
going forward from clergy and prominent
citizens"

hsoTHER MoNTH The latest rumor
Is to the effect that the Constitutional
Convention will net complete its lnbors
until the middle of March. Such being
the case, not moro than six weeks will be
allowed the people of the State to discuss
and decide upcn the merits and dement's
of the new instrument which the Con-
vention Will have been Elk months in
framing. The provision for circulating
copies Of the New Constitution are by no
means MS certain and effective rs it should
be, and the time between the adjourn
ment Of the Convention and the election
will be too short for most people to form
an intelligent opinion. Judging by frag
ments Of the new instrument, which have
boon published from time to time, we
think it will DC safe to vote "against the
New Constitution. E" IT contains too
much legislation and as an entirety is
altogether too experimental for funda-
mental law.

A SfRAw.-A ancient saying has II
that "straws show which way tho wind
blows :" and another that coming events
cast their shawdows before :" both Of
which are called to mind by a Washing
ton newspaper reporters recent interview
with Congressman Luttrell. Referring
to California politics and in answer to the
question : "Wlll the Workingmen and
Democrats unite ?" Mr.. Luttrell said !:
1.-THE Workingmen will probably nomi-
nate men whom the Democrats can SUP
port in that event we will have no
ticket" 1t is only fair to presume that
one so high in the Democratic party as is
Congressman Luttrcll would not speak
unadviscdly on matter Of such immense
sign ilicance. Inasmuch MS the great
body OF Democratic votes in California
are now in the Worllingmen's Party, it
seems but just that the minority should
follow. But viii the Workingmcn allow
Democratic politicians to dictate their
nom nations Unless they do, can De-
mocracy afford TO give up its organization
and fuse with tho new party 81? Time
alone can tell, but indications at present
point to a fusion.

IT is declared on good Democratic au,
thority that the managers Of the party in
Indiana are in favor of Tilden and against
Hendricks. The latter has entirely lost
his hold upon the party machinery, and
hencoforth it will be run in the interest of
Tiden. The reason for this is undoubt
edly the financial condition of the two
candidates. Hendricks has no money
and TIldon has a barrel. Indiana is a
perfect sink for money, and its reformers
are determin to insert their tap in the
best filled barrel.
