Tax San Francisco Chronicle speaks
of the barbarous manner in which the in
digent dead are buried in that city. The
city only pays for the work 81 ,37 body
Consequently the contractor can give but
very little attention to the proper or de-
cent disposal of the bodies in his charge.
On being notified ofa death, wagon Is
driven TO the City Hospital, the naked
body is carted to the establishment of the
undertaken, thrust into cellar and al
lowed TO remain there until q sufficient
number OF bodies have accumulated to
form "ioad" for the cemetery. Then
at night, piled like cord wood in wagon
the naked bodies are carted to the City
Cemetery and dumped into their un-
marked graves like otial from a night
wagon.

the Imagination OF some newspaper men
when the new time table will be ready
and the change made by the Central Pa

We shall not, however, be disappointed

Red Bluff at OF s p. NJ. on that day. We
are prepared TO learn the news that the

The MAINE VILLAINY.-R Regarding
the Maine affair, the Washington CORES
pondant Of the New York Herald says:
The most remarkable development of
opinion was among the Republican MEM
bers OF the New York delegation, whose
views on the proposed change in the
method of selecting Presidential Elect
.ors, as expressed to your correspondent
yesterday, were published oday, and
showed with few exceptions willingness
to let the present system of choosing
them alone. A conversation with the
same Gentlemen to-day showed that with
out exception they were in favor Of the
the Legislature assuming its full constitu-
tisnai authority by repeating the existing
law providing for an election by the peo-
pie, and enacting that hereafter the entire
body Of electors for the State of New
York should be chosen directly by the
Legislature.
The Herald says: 1T the Demscrstic
-Canvassing Board in Maine reverses the
popular vots in 1879 by manipulating .he
returns, it initiates the Republican Can
vasslng Board in Florida in 1876. If
retaliation in kind is to be tolerated in
politics, the science Of our Government
will soon get down TO the level Of the jur>
irprudence measured by the practice Of
law in the Tombs Court.
The Times says: The curses which
-Garcelon and his assoc iates have under,
taken to inHict upon their fellow citizens
and which have been received with cur
isus satisfaction by the Democratic er-
gans, will come homo TO roost. The
Democratic managers will make nothing
by the tactics which they have adopted,
and which are singularly repulsive to the
seenss efju,tice and decency Of the people.

INTERESTING. - The San Francisco
Chronicle of Monday last published the
first letter from George @. Gorham who
has been engaged as a special correspond
ent of that journal at Washington. The
letter is well written ana exceedingly in

newspaper man than he is a politician
and while we do not always agree with
him in the latter role we certainly wish
him success in the former.

scribed as attractive. But worse than this, II
is the index Of disordered liver, of a liver

remedy is at hand, prompt, efficacious. A
course OF Hostetter's Stomach Bitters will ex-

bowels, remove the dyspeptic symptoms which
invariably accompany biliousness and coun-
teract the rapidly developing tendency to

eyes assume this yellow hue. The pains
through the right lower ribf, side and shoul-
der blade, the nausea, furred state Of the

concomitants are soon remedied by this soy
ereign corrective, which in addition to its

knows just how proud and exultant the

right to feel, over their recent deliver

test and the republicans fought vigor-
ously, but manhood, and intelligence
and democracy, triumphed, and anoth-

Attakapas and Florida parishes take
courage from the victory of the
Avoyelles democracy.
