BIG Jaw AND ITS REMEDY.-The Live
Stock thus speaks of this disorder This is
more properly called "dilation of the jaw
bones" In horses it is sometimes called
"big head !" it is a bony tuner, in which the
interior of the bone is absorbed, sometimes
leaving a mere shell of bone divided into
cells, containing purulent cheesy matter.
This is supposed to be caused by deficiency
Of phosphate of lime in food, rendering the
bones deficient in this most important ele-
ment, and the following prescription is often
given with good result Phosphate of lime,
q oz.; powdered golden seal, . or; powdered
sassatras 3 OF; powdered ginger , OF; oat
meal, 4 lbs; mix. This will be divided in
sixteen parts, one given in the food every
night This will have a tendency to restore
the missing elements in the bone. And the
general diet should be food rich in phos-
pilates. You may get your phosphate Of
lime by boiling beef bones in lye or wood
ashes, and after it is reduced fine, wash with
water and give a small quantity daily in
food. The first thing to do surgically is to
open it and let out any matter that it con
tains. Having removed the matter, inject
the cavity with weak pyroligneous or weak
carbonic acid, This will cleanse it and ren.
der healing possible.

the last ten years acted in cooperation
with these Southern advocates of white
mans government.


To our mind there is no vital difference
between these Confederate White Liners
and the Northern White Liners. The Con-
federate claims, as we have before stated,
that Mississippi should be ruled by white
men. The Republican White Liner claims
that the United States should be ruled by
white men, through.a white mans Con-
gress, white army and navy officers, white
judiciary, and white officials in all the de-
partments Of GoVernment-political, legis-
lative, diplomatic and executive. These
so-called Republicans are thus running
the same line of race division through the
National Government which the Confed-
crate White Liners are running through
the State governments of the late slave
States.


There must be an end to this White Line
policy On the part of the Republicans for
the sake of the party as we'll as Of the ma
tion. The Republican party cannot exist
as white mans party any more than can
the nation as white mans government.
a reconstructed South, based on negro
reform, must prove as fatal to the Repub-
lican party as to the republic. Sooner or
later the Republican party will have to face
about and meet this Confederate Democ-
racy on this White Line issue as national
issue. Sooner or later the nation which
has decrced emancipation and the civil
equality of all men before the law, will
have to face about and confront the old pro-
slavery party, reorganized within the Union
for 4 renewal Of the old conflict for mas
terry. We had better, therefore, meet the
enemy now. and meet him on the bloody
issue which political fraud and assassina-
ton in Louisiana and Mississippi present
so clearly to the country. The first step of
the Republican party in this face about
in the White Line issue is to seat the negro
Senator from Louisiana. The second is to
refuse to seat the Confederate White Line
Senator from Mississippi, representing, as
he does, fraud, murder and political assas-
sination Upon an issue, as thus Joined,
we can appeal to the nation and make our
appeal one Of the living issues Of the next
Presidential election. If Republican SEN
ators present the frmness needed to make
this issue the people will sustain them.
We shall thus reap moral victsry and ac-
complish q moral result which will inaugu-
rate under happy auspices the era Of moral
reconstructioniupon which the nation is
now entering.

The proceedings of the National


Woman Suffrage Association at its an
nual meeting yesterday, will be found fully
sketched elsewhere, and they are certainly
worth pcrusal. They are supplemented
by a carefully-written argument on the
other side, which is also worthy the a:ten-
ton of our readers. 1t may do no harm to
remark, en- PEASANT, that it never seems to
have occurred TO our correspondent that it
is one of the most powerful arguments in
favor of woman suffrage that its exercise
would have humane effect upon all classes
of men, and possibly succeed finally in so
refining and elevating them that the use of
physical force in impelling obedience to
law would be no longer necessary. The
voices of good women are always in favor
Of peaceful settlement of difficulties, and
who knows but that if they were infused
into our Government the only wars known
thereafter would be those Of the intellect
and the affections, 10 the expulsion of
physical force. The lawlessness referred
10 as having existed in California, and
which was forcibly subducd by the vigi-
lants, may have been and probably was in
a great measure due to the absence rather
than the presence Of refining female infu-
ence. Had the sexes been equally numer-
Gus there at that time, the elevating,
refining and Christianizing influences which
always accompany yirtuous women of cul-
ture would most undoubtedly have prevent
cd the necessity ofYigilance committees Is
it not fair to believe that the beneficant in
fuences of woman, now so universally ac-
knowledged to sway the conduct OF good
men by indirection, would be measurably
increased by giving them the ballot? Isitnot
the fact that men who express fears of the
degradation of woman through the ballot
are inspired by q knowledge of having lost
some of their own selfrespect by mixing
in political affairs And is it not evidence of
the imperative necessity of reform in our
political morals? How can this so well and
naturally be effected as by the infusion of
purer element? Does outlawry thrive in
good society, composed Of equal numbers
of both sexes? Do we not estimate de-
grees of good and evil, of impurity and
purity, by contrasts rather than by any fixed
standard? If, then, we fear to drag women
down to our political level, as we say, by
giving then the ballot, do we not acknowl-
edge their present superiority? Is there
any good excuse or any real necessity that
any act should be done in political man
agement that ought to make it improper
for women to participate in! Is there any
good excuse for man going anywhere in
pursuance ofa public or political duty that
he would be ashamed to meet his wife or
daughters? Ifnot, and our political meet
ings arc not now fit places for them to
attend, ought they not to be reformed? q? |
Would not such a reformation be beneficial |

The country is now sitting in a Grand
Jury upon the political crimes committed
by the Confederate White Liners of Missis-
sippi and Louisiana. But the inquest
should not end with the Confederate White
Liners. We have White Liners at the
North also, and plenty Of them, and, un-
fortunately, we have large and influen-
tial number Of these same White Liners in.
side of the Republican party.


The Confederate White Liners of the
South represent a principle and are &C.
tuated by policy which combine to pro-
duce the political suppression of the negro.
These Confederate White Liners claim,
for instance, that Mississippi and Louisiana
are "white mems" States. The fact that
the black represent a numerical majority
of the voters-that they represent as the
producers of wealth the taxable resources
of these States-does not alter the claim of
the White Man S party. The White Liners
of Louisiana and Mississippi claim the
right Of minority rule as against the negro.
They claim that the late slave States should
be governed by white Legislatures, ruled
ever by white Governors and magistrates
and white militia, and should be repre-
sented in the National Congress by white
members and Senators. The Confederate
White Liners have made this claim good
in each of the Southern States where white
majorities prevail without resort to revolu-
tion. They have carried their race issue
in the white majority Confederate States
by the power of registered-voting ma
jority. But in the States Of South Caro-
lima, Florida, Mississippi and Louisiana
revolution became necessary, because, in
these States, the colored citizens represented
the majority of loyal registered voters, and
this majority could only be set aside by
fraud and force.


The fact to which we desire to call the
attention of the country at this time is
not the existence of this White Mans
party at the South. At future time this
fact, as the offspring Of slavery in all of its
dangerous relations, will be properly con-
sidered. The fact to which we desire to
call the attention of the country at this
time is the very ugly one-that these Con-
federate White Liners of Mississippi and
Louisiana could never have accomplished
their bloody and revolutionary policy but
for the presence in the American Congress
OF Republican White Liners, who have for

ANTIQUARIAN TEETH.-Jas. Brannan,
who works in the Union Hill claim, last
week sent US some specimens Of the style
of teeth worn before Noah's flood. There
are three of them one single, one double
and one treble. The single one is about
the size of horse tooth and the others
are in proportion. The treble tooth is
two inches broad and half-an-inch deep.
The greatest popularity concerning them
is that the face is double and concave,
the outer edges being very sharp. They
evidently belonged to some animal who
had much work to do with his teeth,
particularly cutting.

STIRRING TMEs.-Last Monday was
busy day in town. Men flew hither

not present with statement of account

and seemed anxious to pay their various
portions toward the support of State and
County government. Happy was he who
found himself in possession of the Tax
Collectors receipt, and knew that his
name would not appear among the de-
linquents. Never was money scarcer,
