Immediately upon the reception of the
news from New Hampshire, the opposi
tion brought out their big guns nnd
roosters, and crowed loud and long" over
what thry asserted to be "signs of the
early dissolution of the Radical party" -
the great Republican party had been
swept from office and power in one of is
strongholds.
this defeat was ascribed to the "disgust
with which the people viewed the course
of the Administration," and this "dis-
ust," it was prophesied, would extend
Irom one end of the country to the other,
recultin? to the benefit of the Democratic
party. This "reaction" in New Hamp
shire was to widen and extend until the
whole country would" be brought under
the beneficent rule of Democracy, when
everybody (officholders) would be full of
contentment and happiness.
Now comes the news that Democratic
Connecticut has gone over to the "Radi
cals" horse, foot and dragoons, leaving
the party of 'Reactionists" hardly an
office to swear by. That good old Deiu-

much more abundant. The average pro
duct of a bushel of sweet potatoes, the
yam variety being preferred, is alleged
to bo over two gallons; and as the ave
rage yield per acre, on poor, sandy soil, is
from 150 to 180 bushels, the product
must necessarily be from 300 to C50
gallons of syrup. This must open to the
view of the piney woods agriculturists a
new and most profitable industry, one
man, with a mule, being able to cultivate
at least fifteen acres in potatoes. The

been extracted, is pronounced a valuable

As a blight upon morality in destroying lives,

The political evils that result from the liquor

It is a lamentable fact that the larger portion of

This terrestial paradise (on account of the dif

inspired the ambitious mind with dreams of golden
conquest. At length, on the discovery of the

aroused : like a den of wild beasts bursting the
bars of their prison-houso in pursuit of a common

Kalama. According, to the Trans
cript, Kalama contains a population of
400 whites, 52 of whom are females. It
: contains 65 buildings, and thirty more
are under contract, and will be erected
as soon as the weather will permit.
. Among the buildings are 10 hotels and
restaurants, 5 goods and grocery stores, 1
aw mill, 2 butcher shops, 3 shoe shops
3 paint shops, 2 churches underway,
besides tho office of the Itailroad Com'
pany, 40x60 feet, three stories, with rock
Tault m the basement. Wotk on the
Chicago hotel is being vigorously pushed -
quite a string of sidewalks have been

The San Domingo Commissioners have
returned, and made their report, which
doubtless will soon be published - and
spread before the country. From many
sources we gather the information that it
is favorable to annexation. But the . re
port will hare no influence upon the
Democratic party further than to induce
it to oppose the measure more vehement
ly if possible than heretofore. It may
be expected the whole force of the Demo
cratic party will be- directed against it,
just as it would be if the measure were
the wisest and most beneficial to the
country that could be devised, simply be
cause the Frcsideut is in favor of it. Op
position, too, may be expected from Sum
ner and his friends ; but how successful
this strange combination of forces may
be, remains to be seen. -There are those
who firmly believe that the annexation
scheme will succeed, and that, too, long
ere President Grant shall be called upon
to vacate the White Ilouse. But the re
port proves most unfortunate to the Dem
ocratic party at least in one respect it
thoroughly and , completely ' exonerates
'resident Grant from , all tho charges
made by the tongues of malevolence and
slander, and no matter whether the
scheme succeeds or fails, he comes out of
the affair stainless, ' still retaining the
high confidence and esteem of his fellow-
citizens. ' .

at Stephen Booth, at Ashland, inflicting
a serious wound in the upper part of the
cheat, the ball passing entirely through
and lodging in the muscles of the back,
from whence it was subsequently -taken;
another ball entered tlio wrist, and fol
lowing the course of the bouo, lodged in

has not vet been found. An examina
tion of Burton was had before A. V.

which Dr. Grceniuau, the medical atten
dant of the wounded man, testified that
the ball passed through the neck a little
to the left of the upper part of the ster
num and, dividing the windpipe, appeared
at the back a little to the right of the
spine ; but that Booth can use his voice.
The testimony further developed the fact
that Booth had brutally beaten the Deft.
The defence set up was that the shoot

Messrs. J. X. MAURIS it, CO. Gents : About

was confined to my bed. '. Tho disease was attend
ed with cold chills aud night-sweats. A diarrhoea,
set in. My friends thought -I was in the last
stages of consumption, and could not possibly got
well. I was recommended to try ;
The formula was given to me, which induced me

cough is entirely cured, and I am now able to at
