It either produces or is produced by an enfeebled, vitiated (tato of tho blood, sBi wherein that fluid becomes Incompetent to sustain tho ; vital forces In their vicorous paction, and lenrcs tho sys jtcm to fall Into disorder and decay. Tho scrofulous contamination is variously 'rallied liv mercurial dls- ' case, low llvlnz. disordered digestion from unhcolthy food, Impure nir, filth and IllUir imiiits, 1110 impressing vices, ami, nuoro nu, by tho venereal Infection. Whatovcr bo its origin, it is hereditary In tho constitution, descending "from parents to children unto tho third and fourth ccn Trnlion ; " indeed, it seems to bo tho roil of Ilim vho says, "I will visit tho Iniquities of tlio fathers upon their children." Tho diseases which It orig inates tako various names, according to tho organs It attacks. In tho lungs, Scrofula produces tuber cles, and finally Consumption J In the glands, swell ings whtch stippuntto and become ulcerous sores j jn tho stomach and bowols, derangements which produce Indigestion, dyspepsia, and liver complaints on tho skin, cruptiro and cutaneous affections. These nil having tho snmo origin, require tho samo remedy, vis., purification nnd invigomtion of tho blood, l'urify tho blood, and theso dangerous dls tempers leave you. With feeble, foul, or corrupted blood, you cannot liavo health j with that "llioof tho flesh" healthy, youcannot liaro . scrofulous disease. "" 'Ayor'o Sarsaparilla is compounded from tho most effectual antidotes th.1t medical sclcnco lias discovered for this ntlUct ing distemper, and for tho euro of tho disorders it t nulls, 'lhat it is fur superior to any other rem edy yet devised, is known by nil who liavo given It n trial. That it docs comblno virtues truly ex traordinary In their effect upon this class of com pi tints, is Indisputably proven by the great mulil tmlo of publicly known nnd rcniarknblo cures it has mndo of tho following diseases : King's Evil or Glandular Swellings, Tumors, Eruptions, Fimplos, Blotches and Bores, Erysipelas, -Boio or St Anthony's Fire, Salt Eheum, ovum jiuuu, vuugus iruia luoonnuotu aopov iU in the lungs, Wliito Swollings, Debility, Dropsy, Neuralgia, Dyspopsia or Indigestion, Syphilis and Byphilitio Infections, Mercurial Diseases, Femalo Weaknesses, and, indeed, tho Vthole scries of complaints that nrlso from impurity of tho blood. Minute reports of Individual cases may bo found in Ami's Aur.nicjtM Ai.maxac, which Is furnished (o tho druggists for gratuitous distribution, wherein may bo learned tho directions for Its use, ami lomo of tho rcmnrkablo cures which It has madowlicn nil other remedies had fulled to sffonl relief. Those ccs nro iiurjM)cly taken from all Mellon of tho country, In order that every reader mar liavo nrccss to soma 0110 who can speak to him of its benefits from personal cxiericncc. Scrofula depresses the vlt.il energies, nnd thus loaves its vic tims far more subject to discaso and Its fatal results than nro healthy constitutions. Hence it tends to shorten, nnd does greatly shorten, tho nverogo dura tion of human lifo. Tho vast importance of these considerations has led us to spend years In perfect ing n remedy which Is ndrminto to "its cure. This o now oiler to tho public under tho nnmo of Arr.n's Sausj.i-aihi.la, nlthough It is composed of ingredients, somo of which exceed the livst of &iriiijKirllla in nltcrntivo owcr. lly Its aid you may protect yourself front tho suffering nnd danger of tliess disorders. 1'urgo out tho foul corruptions that nit and fester in tho blood; purgo out tho causes of ill sense, and vigorous health will follow. Ily its peculiar virtues this remedy limiilates tho vital functions, and thus cxeis tho distempers which lurk within tho system or burst out on any part of it. We know tho public have been deceived by many compounds of SirniiariVtr, lhat promised much mid did nothing; hut they will neither bo deceived nor disappointed In this. Its virtues have been proven by abundant trial, nnd there remains no question of Its surpassing excellence for tho euro rf tho afflicting diseases it is intended to reach.

Last Monday was the usual time for elections to tako place in Alabama, Ar kansas and Texas ; but owing to tho registry not being completed, there was no election in cither State. l!c foro tho wnr, North Carolina elected her olHccrs and members of Congress on the '-'il Tuesday in August, but the registration in that State not being half completed, no election will take place next week. Tho next elections areas follows: Vermont, September 3d; Cnliforuia, September -ah; Maine, September Oth; Pennsylvania October 6th ; Ohio and Iowa, November 5th ; Now Jcrboy, New York, Delaware, Maryland, Massachusetts, Michigan, Wisconsin, Mluusotn, Illinois, Kansas, Missouri and Nevada, all vote on the 5th of November, and Colorado on tho 12 th. PAirriES ani roi.iTicti. Tho Southern rebels, after tho close of tho war, started a now party, called tho Conservative party, to get rid of tho odious names of rebels and Demo crats. Andy Johnson, Seward, Tlitir low Weed, of tho Now York Timtt, Ben Simpson, of tho Oreyon Statesman, and many others in tho North, of less notoriety, joined tho Southern Conserv ative party, and tried to carry their principles in tho Northern States, where treason had been odious, and whero Democracy had been nearly dead because of its sympathy with tho rebels, but they failed to get much support and spoils from any party except tho puro and geiiuino Democrats North, and tho rebel party South; ex ccpt in tho State of Now York, whero it is estimated that Seward and ced led nstray about nine thousand loyal Union men, and that Ben Simpson, in Oregon, with tho faithless promUes of olllco from tho Johnson administration, carried oft' about ono thousand voters nt tho last election. Thurlow Weed has truly repented of his sins, and is now battling manfully for Republican principles, and foi the election ot Grant in 1808. So ward is said to bo on tho mourner's bench, and that ho will bold ly advocate tho election of a true, Un ion Republican, who supports tho re construction acts of Congress. This will insuro New York for tho Republi can party this fall, and at tho Presiden tial election in 1808. In Oregon, tho Statesman died of Conservatism, and it was supposed here, that Simpson had repented of his trangrcssion beforo tho dejuisp of his organ. If ho has repont- mtiml cJ, ho will now uso his inllttcnco to elect true, Union Hcpublicntift 5 or if ho is as politically dead as tho Statesman is in iact, I sec no reason why wo should not carry Oregon in tho elec tions of 1808, with increased majorities. Tim national i)i:irr Will continue to cxerciso a great in fluence in party politics for many years to come. At a recent meeting of Dem ocrats nud Union men, held in Illinois, nn attempt was mado to start a now party, tho substance of tho chief corner-stone of which, is contained in the lowing resolution: 1. Jlcsolved, That tho samo infla tion of currency tinder which tho na tional debt was contracted shall bo maintained until tho debt shall liavo been paid. It is tho object and aim of tho Re publican parly, which now is, and which will be lor the next forty or fifty years, largely In the ascendancy, to re duce the currency gradually, so as to injure no one, until it is worth a dol lar in gold or silver. By reducing tho paper circulation, prices will gradually decline, nnd the expenses of tho gov ernment will bo really less, nnd it more able to pay the national debt, than it would bo if a greenback only brought 70 cents on the dollar. This party will be just like the Johnson party without any supportcis. The official report of tho debt, on tho 1st of August, is thus sumed up: IIniIiif nJn Inlrrral. - - . tl,IJh,lKlll M llMirlnitrurrfiiry Intrir.t fJl.lt',M 10 Maturr.1 iM.t mil .rr-riilrl lr aiiitnt H,UKI4 k?

Tho debt bearing compound interest has increased $70,20'J,7CO; while that bearing currency interest hns decreas ed $80,720,010. Tho matured debt not presented for payment has increased .10,202,705 55. Tho debt bearing no interest has decreased $1,81-1,258 71. The amount in the Treasury, in coin, ! from Juno 1st, has increafcd $1,1-40,' 710 no, and tho amount in currency is less than that exhibited in the last statement $010,808 00. It is not strange that so large n debt should be made u political hobby. But, compar atively, this is n very small debt for the vast resources of the United States nud the prospective wealth and popu lation of tho country. Still, it be hooves tho Government to contract its currency and raise tho bonds of the Government until they will bring dol lar for dollar in gold. JlltS. Kl'llAlT.

Tho Germans hero have a society called tho Shutren Feast. Their Annual exercises commenced last Mon day and lasted all tho week. It mum held in Seven Street Park. Tho Tnrk was crowded day and night, from the beginning lo tho end. Shooting, dan cing, races, in tho regular old German style, were their dally exercises. Last Sunday a negro woman plunged n knife Into her husband at Ferry Point, Vn., and it U supposed mot tally wounded him. Tho man had struck her nnd she retaliated by stabbing him. In Georgia 0110 halo ol cotton has been taken to market, nud the farmers nro generally preparing to commence packing. Accounts from all parts of I tho Stato am favorable lor a good crop.

For several weeks rumors hnvo been 11llo.1t, that Johnson Intended to remove Secretary Stanton. Yesterday tho tit nbolical deed was consummated ; and, for tho present, Geu. Grant takes charge of the War Office. No 0110 believes Johnson intends to keep Gen, Grant ns tho acting Secretary of Wnr. It will bo seen from the correspondence that Grant sustains Mr. Stanton in his official acts. The whole thing is in tended to get n pliant secession tool in tho place of Mr. Stanton, so John sou can carry out his favorite policy of keeping rebels in office, and having the Southern States all admitted n true Democratic States, mid so Jefferson Davis, or tiny other rebel, can bo re turned to Congress. Hither Gen. Grant is mistaken in the official nets ol .Mr. Stanton, or tho President has violated the Tenure of Olllco Bill. Tho section under which the President has remov ed Mr. Stanton is lu these words: "That when any olllecr appointed as aforesaid, excepting judges of the United Slates com tn, shall, during the recess of the Senate, bo shown by evi dence satisfactory tn tho J'ichiilciit to s svviM'ssv j ' 1 IlltlVf kllhlt H.ichollicer.uud.lehignatosonios.iitnblo Imrw)l, ,0 ,,,-,, teiiinorar v tlio du ties ol sucli ollieer until the next meet- ing ol tlio neuate, ami until tiiu ease shall be acted upon by the .Senate." No loyal man believes .Air. Stanton has ever been guilty of any misconduct in olllco or committed any crime. However I am no defender of. Mr. Stan ton, for ho has been no particular friend of mine, and holms rcitainly been prejudiced against the interests 0ftho Pacific Coast. So far as our in- terests aro concerned wo cannot bo worsted. Ho would hnvo merited more sympathy if ho had resigned when requested by tho President. At tho time of tho passage of the bill in tho Senate, it was thought by many Senators, that under such clicumstau ccs any member of tho Cabinet would resign. Judgo Williams, tho author of tho civil Tcnuro olllco Bill said : I have no doubt thut any Cabinet would decline to remain in tho Cabinet after tho President had signified to him that his prcscuco was no longer needed, that whenever tho President sees prop er to rid himself of an offensive, or (lis agrecablo Cabinet Minister, ho will only hnvo to signify that desire, and tho Minister will retire, and a now appoint ment be made. Mr. Sherman said : I agreed lo tho report of the Conlcrcnco Committco Willi a good deal of reluctance. Tho Senate Tiad by two deliberate votci declared its purpoo not to make tho duration of tho Cabinet olllccrs fixed by any time, but that they should hold their olllccs at tho pleasure ol tho Pres ident; nud that was tho original design In the creation of their olllccs; but tlio general puposc of this bill is so very unpottnnt, It establishes so salutary a reform, that I thought it ought not to bo endangered by a diiiuto on a col lateral (iiiestiou. The I louse conferees nnil the House by two votes were very tenacious upon tlio subject, nud tliero seemed to bo a probability that tho bill would bo lost upon n question that was eollatteral nud unimportant. take It that no cno can ntlse, or is likely to arise, whero a Cabinet Minis- ter will attempt to hold on to his olllco alter his chief desires his removal. 1 can scarcely conceive of such n case. I think that no gentleman, no man with any senie of honor, would hold n posi tion its n Cabinet olllecr nftcr his ohlef desired his removal, and therefore tlio slightest intimation on tho part of th President would ninny secure tho res ignation of a Cabinet olllecr. Foothill reason I do not wWh to jeopard thisliill by an unimportant ami collateral ques tion.. .Mr. Sherman said again That tho Senate had no such ptimoso Is shown by its voto twice to mako this excc lion. That this provision docs not apply to the present casu is shown by the laet that its language is so framed as not to apply to the present President. The Senator Mr. Hendricks shows that himself, and argues littly that it would not prevent tho present Presi dent from removing tho Secretary of War, the Secret in y of the Navy, ami the Secretary of Slate. And II I sup posed that either of theso gentlemen was so wauling In manhood, In honor, ns to hold his place alter the politest intimation by the President of tho United Slates that his services wero no longer needed, I certainly, ns a Sen ator, would t'oiisciit to his removal nt any time, ami so would we all. Senator Howard expressed similar views. They wero mistaken. Thoy did not know how anxious, Mr. Stanton was to servo tlio dear people nor how much he loved olllco.
