FRIDAY. OCTOBER, e. 1856

IF you fail to 60 to the polls and
vote on Tuesday next, 1t may result
in the defeat of a democratic eandi-
date for Congress, or the Legislature,
The defeat Of a candidate may give
the Republicans a majority. A
republican majority in the Legisla>
ture would give the Senator to that
party. A Republican Senator from
Tennessee might, and would no
doubt, prevent the democrats from
getting control Ofthe next Senate,
and without both houses no measure
reducing war taxes can be put
through Congress. You see, the loss
of one vote might prevent the enact
ment of laws by which the material
interests Of this whole country would
suffer.

The Unfairness Of the Blair Bill.
The Blair bill proves that each
State shall raise as much for School
purposes by local taxation as it re-
celves from so-called National aid
Under this provision Tennessee
will be required to raise by direct
taxes on land and from privileges,
fines and rents an average of $685.,
900 per annum, which is about the
amount it will receive from the bill.
New Ham pshire, which claims the
equivocal honor of sending Mr..
Blair to the United States Senate,
will under this clause have to tax
her citizens directly for educational
purposes only on the illiteracy of A.
3O2 persons over 10 years of age
who cannot write. In 1880, the
whole num- her of this class, inclu>
ding freedmen, was 6,239, 1858 for
the whole United States, Mr.. Blair's
bill proposes to distributeS77 900, 900
to the cause of public education, or
say S12.3O to each illiterate, his
is to cover eight years, benevOlenee
or about S1.54 per annum.
New Hampshire would, therefore
before she could secure the "bene'
fit" of this bill, be required to raise
bnt $22, 900 per annum for educa-
tional purposes, against dlrec tax
for Tennessee nearly thirty times

vision" of the Federal officer would
only apply to the South. 1t would
be very easy to show that public

extent of $4,000. wele raised il

Some weeks since Mr.. w. J

didate for the Legislature against

circular declaring himself a demo-
crat and has been soliciting votes
all over the county from democrats.
On last Saturday the Republicans
completed their ticket by nomina.
ting T. G Patrick, Esq, for the
Senate, and w. J. Blair, Esq, for
the House. A Fayette county
Republican named Boyd had been
previously nominated tor FlOater

millions of the human family are
deprived of by the oppression Of
tyrants-that Of the elective fran
chise-do not deserve good govern
mont. Suppose the people were de-
prived of that right by law2 How
they would cry out against it, and
justly too. Yet, many Of the demo-
Gratis Of this county have disfran-
chised themselves, and have nc
voice in the Offices OF state, because
they voluntarily stay away from the
polls, and as a class, they are the
first to find fault, if things are not

A CuriOuS Tr0nhF-

There is at present on exhibition al
Pape It Risland's, Stockton street, one OF
the most beautiful and unique deer heads
that has ever been looked upon in this
country. Graham Lamb, widely known
as one of the best deer shots in Marin
County, sent the head up from Soledad
last week to Mr.. Pape to have it stuffed
and mounted. The head is a very novel
one. The horns, two beautiful prongs,
are covered from top to base with knots
of bone, or some substance that closely
resembles the barnacles that are so pro-
life on the spiles and rocks along the
margin of the bay. They are indeed a
curiosity and are of a species unknown
to many of the oldest California sports
men, who have already examined them.
The head is one of the largest that has
been shipped to this city in many years
the scope between the eyes measures
seven and one half inches. The animal,
when dressed, weighed 210 pounds. One
of the strangest features connected with
the capture of the forest king was the
manner in which he was brought to bay.
Young Mr.. Lamb was riding from Sole
dad to Hewitt valley when he came sud
denly upon the big game; the only
weapon he had with him was a Colts
navy revolver, thirty-six calibre, aud a
muzzle loader at that. The deer was
125 yards distant when the crack shot
espied him, and, fearing any further ad-
vance toward the animal would impair
his chances, young Lamb, while seated
in the pigskin, took aim and fred. Singu-
larly enough his first shot was success
full; the animal fell dead in his tracks,
shot through the heart.-Sae Francisco

sidered a pretty good indication of the
slowness of the most acute minds that
something of the kind had not been
thought of.
The finding of the pin ended the tour
of exploration and the wound was
dressed with boracic acid and salicylic
acid powder, after it had been well
cleansed. The patient was taken to his
cot and got his silver dollar after the eff
feet of the anesthetic had passed away.
He can only go one ear on the next
Fourth of July celebration, as the mech
anism of the right ear was destroyed.
The wound is healing well, all the
troublesome symptoms are gone, and the
patient will be around with the boys in
a few days. How did the pin get into
the carr All the boy knows about it is
that he dropped a pin into his ear one
night as he was going to sleep. That
the pin should work through the drum
head is hardly probable, though not i'm
possible, and in the absence of any other
explanation will have to be accepted.

wings and head, for as we see him light
he scrapes his wings and his head with
his legs and feet, passing the gathered
morsels from foot to foot, the front pair
passing his dinner to his mouth. The
fly also teaches us the value of sunlight,
