The Flatiomal Lanwer e Equal Rights in Indiana. \ When Elbridge Gerry, after being twice defeated, became Governor of Massachusetts in I§lo, he planned or at least sanctioned, a law for carving the State into acute-angled districts, the majority of which could be depended upon to return Democratic legislators. One of the means used to oppose the measure was the publication and circulation of a sketch of the long drawn, distorted districts of Eastern Massachusetts. A copy of it was posted on the wall of a Newburyport newspaper office. A visitor added head and claws to it, and said to the editor: “See this salamander.” 'The latter, filled with sudden inspiration, replied: -“l'd call it a Gerrymander.” —and Elbridge Gerry was damned to everlasting fame. When he died two years later, as Vice-President of the United States, he knew that gerrymander was already a common word, and that the prattice it denoted was rapidly becoming common. The efforts of himself and his descendants to shake off the odium of the invention, though they resulted in converting the later editors of Webster’s dictionary into the belief that he was innocent (vide the dictionary,) were of no avail with the public. Such a safe method jof stealing the votes of a helpless minority was sure to be practiced. It was already named and the name stuck. All parties gerrymandered whenever they got into power. It is only very recently that public morali- _ ty has reached such a high pitch that protests against the practice have had any weight. = Even now it would be hard to find any politician sufficiently silnless Ito cast the first' stone’ at the Idea.

In Indiana, the killing of votes in this way has realized De Quincy’s idea of murder as a fine art. - Our sympathy for the Democrats who groan under it now must be somewhat mitigated by the recollection of their similiar deeds when in power in that State. Nevertheless, the facts of wrong are appalling. Tt is no wonder that they have become an issue of the campaign, and that Gov. Hendricks seeks to put his party in power again by reciting the evils of the Republican -apportionment, and by promising justice from a Democratic Legislature.— In the election of 1872, the Democratic majority - for Governor was 1,019, The Republican majority in the total vote for congressmen was 626. These 626 men elected seven congressmen! The 163,596 Democratic voters chose three congressmen by an aggregate majority of 13,230. . The 164,222 Republicans returned ten congressmen by an aggregate majority of 12,856. Thus each of three represented 54,532 voters, and each of'the ten represented 16,422. Every ballot cast for a Republican candidate counteracted three and a third cast against him. This is bad enough, but worse remains. Morton, for obvious reasons, is.much more anxious that the Indiana Republicans should have =a majority of the Legislature than of the Congressional delegation. The main energies of the apportionment bill were therefore spent upon the legislative districts. The Republican majority of 626 is represented in the¢ present Legislature by twelve Senators aud twenty-six members of the House. A correspondent gave, in our issue of yesterday, some details of the way in which the great wrong is done. He says: Nt The Democratic counties of Floyd and Clark, with a voting population of 12,778, have no Senator; while Jefferson county, Republican, with 5405 votes, has aSenator. Boone and Clinton,Democratic, with 10,117 votes, have a Senator; and Randolph, Republican, with a vote of 5,014, has a Senator.— The Democratic county of Bartholomew, with 4,744 votes, has no Representative; while Vermillion, Republican, with 2,445 votes, is given one, This is a wonderous showing for a party that, according to Senator Conkling, must live until its mission of giving equal rights to all is accomplished. In Louisiana, it stifles opposition votes with bayonets. In Indiana, it stifles them with gerrymandering laws. And then it prates of “God and morality.”—Chicago Tribune.

Congressional Matters. The fact is becoming generally known that Mr. Kelly, the people’s candidate, the farmer’s candidate, the laboring man’s candidate for Congress, is just the man to represent the laboring class of the district. For years the people have been represented by those who have no sympathy in common with those that plow and dig, and sweat for their living, and these representations have of late years been confined to one family, of which Mr. BRaker is an offshoot. Somebody connected with the Defrees family has always aspired to this position, and by hook and crook they have managed to keep it there. An effort was made two years ago to get John nominated, but failed not through any fault of his wife’s relations. . We-would ask intelligent voters of all parties, must one family have the disposal of this office and shall it dictate who shall be their representatives? Mr. Baker was nominated because he was a-prominent lawyer, an excellent speaker, and because the Defrees family desired’it and John wanted it. - Mr. Kelley was not nominated because he, was a smart lawyer and eloquent speaker, but because he was identified with the farming interests, because he came from the ranks of the laboring men, and is honest, upright and conscientious. e Mr. Kelley pledged himself before the Convention to stand by the interests of the people, and said party would not swerve him from such a course. Everybody personally acquainted with Mr. Kelley knows him to be a man of his word and he never breaks a promise. If he is elected we are morally certain he will carry out just what he promises. The farmers heretofore have had no representation from their number, the laboring man has had to put up with some professional man, but now an opportunity offers to send one of their own class to Cengress. Every farmer in the District can vote for him on the pledges ", he has made, and we believe théy will if they look at their own ‘welfare and the interest of the country.—Auburn Courier. ettt - — e A New Lead. How many times does 50 go into 250,000? 1t goes 5,000 times. Well, that is a good per cent. even for California. Will the best “lead” ever struck pay as much? Certainly not. But there is strong probabilities that ~ an investment of fifty dollars made in the last Grand Gift Concert, in aid’ of the Public Library of Kentucky, will " pay that per cent. to somebody. Why not to one of us? And then we have only to wait till the 30th of November for the result. 2 ettt 4 —— ~ Large Purchases of Wheat. . The wheat market at Lagrange has . been livelier this season than ever before known. There has been shipped this year, between July Ist and Sept. * 26th, luf”}&tnrday‘_ 211 car loads of - wheat. ‘l’heshm? last year in the same time were 47 cars. The shipments this season were by Ellison 181 cars, and ‘bfinm_ 80 cars. The ‘about 77,000, at a cost of $BO,OOO. This , is %zfi jell for an inland

i _ October. : The month of October, says the Indianapolis Journal, is a turning pdint of the season and the richest month in the year. It would hardly do to say the most poetical month of the year, for there is May, the month of roses, and the leafy month of June, with their wealth of fresh delights and poetical memories. But October differs from these as the sober wisdom of age differs from the rolicking sportiveness of youth, or as old wine from the fresh juice of the grape. Now come golden days with mornings and evenings just cool enough to render out-door exercise delightful and a little fige within pleasant and soothing. - The cheerful blaze of the eveming fire, now lighted for the first time in .several months, comes like a new revelation to the juveniles who have long since forgotten how it looks, while its comforting warmth induces the elders to draw closer around the familiar hearth, and stirs up thoughts of past and coming winters. . The premonitions of approaching frost have already affected the foliage,f and the variegated leaves of the sugar-maple cover the sidewalks every morning, furnishing daily employment to cleanly housewives in sweeping them off, and innumerable bright-colored contributions for winter bouquets. The children who dance along to school, with red cheeks and In thicker clothing, begin to indulge in vague anticipations of ice and snow. In the country the ripened crops of corn have either been harvested or await the farmer’s coming. The fruits ‘have been gathered and marketed. The golden pumpkins have been hauled in, potatoes dug, cider made, and cellar and barn are bursting with the garnered wealth of the past season. Thus nature renews her miracles iy the autumn as well as in the spring, and thus October steps in once more with stately tread. .

~ Campaigning. An exchange pertinently suggests that about this ‘se:ison of the year look out for candidates who have “claims” upon the suffrages of the dear people. Claims are usuali’y«ibased upon locality or partisanship. The ecandidate lives at a point of the superficies whenee a public officer ought to be deprived, or; he has so firmly believed or acted upon certain political convictions, that he ough to be rewarded for his believing. It needs but a moment’s reflection to discredit this whole doctrine of a proprietorship in any part of the public service. The offices are the free gift of the people,and the people will be the best served by the fittest men, no matter where they live or what they believe. Self respect will deter men whoe properly value themselves and :the equal rights of others from defeating a free.choice by any personal interference. Under the terms of the law it will not be any longer safe for candidates or their friends to undertake to incline the scale of judgment by the use of money. The use of money by candidates is a misdemeanor. Itis a pity the rule could not be extended so as tfio ibar solicitations in any form furt lér than a simple announcement ©of * permission to use a name in connection with a particular office. It would most wonderfully simplify and purify our' polities in the choice which is theoretically existent in the people, of selecting their servants, could have an unbiased exercise.

On Tuesday last, while E. . Boyer, of Summit. was unloading a grist at the Waterloo Mills, ' his team took fright and ran away, resulting in breaking a leg for one of the horses, and inflicting such injuries on the other as will entirely ruin it. The team cannot be replaced by Mr. Boyer for less than $350. : ARRIVED.—Six head of cattle, from Mr. Miller’s celebrated herd of Kentucky Short Horns, arrived by the noon train from the south on Tuesday, and were taken to the Fair grounds for exhibitionmext week.

THERE are 40,000 men out of employment in the city of Philadelphia. The policy of thé republican party is the weight under which the country groans. If the rightful trade of the city of Philadelphia with the people of the Southern States could be secuned every man of the 40,000 who now are looking desparingly forward to. the approaching winter might have remunerative employment. There can ‘be mo. exchange of commodities between the southern people taxed to insolvency and the northern manufacturer. The south cannot pay and the north cannotsell. Distress and pover.ty in the cotton and rice fields of Louisiana beget distress and poverty ‘in the. workshops and manufactories of I’ellli?dvzinia. Take off the burden of bad government at the south, and with its reviving industry it will again open to the people of the north the best market they can ever hope to obtain. As long as the unemployed workingmen at the north by their votes sustain the republican party, which is, day by day, moving the nation toward the verge of bankruptcy by its stupendous extravagance and wilful misrule, so long must they suffer the consequences.— Patriot.

"~ It, cosTs $15,000 to réfurnish the President’s house this year, $5,000 for fuel for the same, $lO,OOO for keeping up the President’s green house, $2,000 for a steward to see.that the gold and silver plate is neatly laid on the President’s table ; $2,640 for twe policemen to watch the President by day, $9OO for one night watchman to guard the President’s slumber. All thisin addition to his regular salary of $50,000; and yet the republican rule is cheap and economical.—Z'ipton T'imes. '

THE conference between the McEnery and Kellogg parties in New Or-leans-has resulted in an arrangement whereby an advisory board, consisting of two Conservatives, two Republicang, and one Independent Republican, is constituted, and is entrusted with the management and revision of registration for the coming election. Kellogg promises to appoint two Democrats on the returning board, which will then consist of three Republicans and two Democrats. )

HeNrRY WARD BEECHER recently returned to Brooklyn and remained all day at the house of an acquaintance.

But it would n’t go down, and had to be abandoned as premature. S :

.+ lls This “The Coming Horse?” | [“‘Burleigh’s” Letter to the Boston Journalj : The pi‘dP osed trot in Boston between | celebra stallions: is the theme of | general talk in New York. We have | here a banker who, in a quiet way, | has been gathering for some tinie the | speediest horses in the country. e | has a quiet stable out of the city,{ about an hour’s ride away. Here he 1 has a track, and without observation he is chronicling some marvelous speed. He says nothing about his} stud on the street, and will not be questioned. . No one can get access to ‘his horses without a written permis'ston from himself, which is rarely given. Among his treasures is a brother of “Dexter,” a gamy, speedy horse, of which marvelous things are tcld. This out of the way stable is just now the center of a good deal of interest. Among horsemen it has been known for a long while that a Methodist minister 'in Kentucky owned a colt of which marvelous things were told. The animal was black as a raven, and bore the name of “Blackwood.” 'The value of the horse, in the estimation of the owner, may be seen by the pleasant little price that was put upon him. The horsemen on the street laughed that a plain Methodist parson, in the wilds of Kentucky, offered his animal for $60,000! The banker alluded to heard so much of this colt that he took a frip to Kentucky to look at him. -He saw him move. He describes him as a marvel. His nostrils become red as fire; his eyes dilate, and he seems transformed. The ‘captivated New Y orker offered thirty thousand dollars for the. colt. The owner received the proposal with disdain. He did not even reply: ordéred the horse back 'into the stable, and went into his house. ~ Another visit was made, and the horse changed owners, fifty thousand, it is said, being the price. Now the plan is this:—

When the horses that are to trot on your course have done their best, “Blackwood” is: to be trotted out to show what he can Jdo. 'Those who have seen him move say that he is the most extraordinary animal ever seen in this part of the country, N e~ Endisgestion’s Martyrs. IHalf the diseases of 'the human family spring from a disordered stomach, and may be prevented by invigorating and toning the abused and neglected organ with Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters. Let it be borne in mind that the liver, the kidneys, the intestines, the musecles, the ligaments, the bones, the mnerves, the integuments, are all renewed and nourished by the blood, and that the digestive organs are the grand alembic in' which the materials of the vital fluid are prepared. When the stomach fails to provide healthful nourishment for its dependencies they mecessarily suffer, and the ultimate result, if the evil is not arrested, will be chronic and probably fatal disease somewhere. It may be developed in the kidneys in the form of gdiabetis, in the liver as congestion, in the muscles as rheamatism, in the nerves as paralysis, in the integuments as serofula. Remember, however, that each of all these consequences of indigestion may be prevented by the timely and' regular use of that sovereign antidote to dyspepsia, IHostetter’s Bitters. - 23-SW.

New Revised Edition. : Entirely rewritten by the ablest writers on every sadject. Printed from aew type, and il-. Instrated with Several Thousand Engravinge and Maps. i Tur work originally published under the title of Tur Nuw AMERIOAN CYOLOPADIA Was completed in 1863, since which time the wide circulation which it has attained in all parts of the United States, and the signal developments which have taken place in every branch oyscieuce. literature, and art. have induced the editors and publishers to supmit 1t to an exact and thorough revision, and to issus a new edition entitled THE AMERIOAN CYCLOPAEDIA. . S Within the last ten years the progress of discovery in every department of knowledge has made . a new work of reference an imperative want, The movement of political affairs has kept pace with the discoveries of science, and their fruitful application to the industrial and useful arts and theconvenience and refinement ofsociallife. Great wars and consequent revolutions have occarred, involving national changes of pecnliar moment . — The civil war of our own country, which was at its height when the last volume of the old work appeared, has happily been ended, and a new course of commercial and tndustrial activity has been commenced. Large accessions to our geographical knowledge have heen made by the indefatigable explor©ors of Africa. : ; . ~ The great political revolutions of the last decade, with the natural result of the lapse of time, have brought into public view, a multitude of new men, whose names'are in every one’s mouth, and of whose lives every one is curious to know the particulars. Great battle s have been fought and important sieges maintained, ot which the details are as yet preserved only in the newspapers or in the transient publications of the day, but which ought now to take their place in permanent and anthentic history. In preparing the present edition for the press it has accordingly been the aim of the editors to bring down the information to the latest possible dates, and to furnish an accurate account of the most recent discoveries in science, of every fresh production in literature, and of the newest inventionsin the practical arts, as well as to give a sue~ cinct and original record of the progress of political and higtorical ¢vents. < : The work has been begun atter long and careful preliminary labor, and with the most ample resources for carrying it on to a successful termination. None of the original stereotype plates have been used, but every page has been printed on new type, forming in fact a new Cyclopsedia with the same plan and compass as its predecessor, but with a far greater pecuniary expenditure, and with tuch improvements in its composition as have been suggested by longer experience aud enlarged knowledge. - The illustrations which are introduced for the first time in the present edition have been added not for the sake of Plctorinl effect, but'to give greater lucidity and force to the explanations in the text. They embrace all branches of explanations in the text. They embtrace all branches of science and of natural history, and depict the most famous and remarkable feature of scenery, architecture, and art, as well ag the varions processes of mechanics and manufactures. Althougzh intended for instruction rather than embellishment, no pains have been spared to insure their artistic excellence; the cost of their execution is enormous, and it is believed they will tind a welccme reception as an admirable feature of the Cyclopadia, and worthy of it high character. This work is sold to Subscribers only, payable on delivery of each volume.

Walker’s * Califorzia Yinegar Bitters are a purely Vegetable preparation, made chiefly from the native herbs formel on the lower ringes of the Sierra Nevada mountaind of California, the medicinal properties of which . are extracted therefrom witliout the use of Aleohol. The question is almost daily asked, ‘¢ What is the cause of the unpa: - alleled: success -of VINEGAR BriTERS Y Our answer is, that they remove the -ause of disease, and the patient recovers Lis health. They are the great blood parifier and 'a life-giving principle. a perféect Renovator and Invigorator of thé system. - Never before in the history of the world. has a medicine been compeunded possessing the remarkable gualities of Vix- : EGAR BiTTERS in healing the sick of every disease man is heir #O. They are a gentle Purgative as well -as a Tonie, relieving Congestion or.lnflammation of the Liver and Visceral Organs, in Bilious Dizeases : The properties of Dr. WALKER'S VINEGAR Brrrens are Aperient, Diaphoretic, Carminative. Nutrjtious, Laxative, Diuretic. Sedative Counter-Irritant, Sindorific, Alterative, und Anti-Bilious _ Grateful Thousands proclaim VINEGAR BITTERS the most wonderful Invigorant that ever sustained -the sinking system. - ' ' No Person can take these Bitters according to directions, and remain long unwell, provided their bones are not destroyed by mineral - poison or other means, and vital organs _Wfisted beyond: i'epair. ~ Bilious, Remittent, and Intermittent Fevers, which are so prevalent in the valleys of our great rivers throughout the United States, especially those of the Mississippi, Ohio, Missouri, Illinois, "Tennessee, ‘Cumberland, Arkansas, Red, Colo--rado, Brazos, Rio Grande, Pearl, Alabama, Mobile, Savannah, Roanoke, James, and many others, -with their vast tributaries, throughout our eitire country during the Summer and Autumn, and remarka-. bly -so during seasons of unusual heat and dryness, are invariably accompanied by extensive derange- - ments of the stomach and liver, and other abdominal viscera, In their treatment, a purgative, exerting a powerful influence upon these various organs, is essentially necessary. ~ There is no cathartie for the purpose ~ equal to DR. J. WALKER'S VINEGAR Birrers, as they will speedily remove the dark-colored viseid matter with which the bowels are loaded, at the same time stimulating the secretions of the liver, and generally restoring the healthy fune- ~ tions of the digestive organs. : -Fortify the body against disease by purifying all its fluids with VINEGAR Birrers. No epidemic can take hold of a system thus fore-armed. Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Headache, Pain in the . Shoulders, Coughs, 'Tightness of the Chest, Dizziness, Sour . Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste \in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks, Palpitation of the Heart, Inflammation of ithe Lungs, Pain in therégion of the Kidneys, - "and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the offsprings of Dyspepsia. One bottle will prove a better guarantee of its merits than a lengthy advertisement. Scrofula, or King’s Evil, White Swellings, Ulcers, Erysipelas, Swelled Neck, Goitre, Scerofulous Inflammations, Indolent Inflammations, Mercurial affec- - tions, Old Sores, Eruptions of the Skin, - ' Sore Eyes, ete. In these, as in all other . constitutional Diseases, WALKER'S VINEcAR BIrTTERS have shown their great curatite powers in the most obstinate and intractable cases. : For Inflammatory and Chroniec Rheumatism, Gout, Bilious, Remit- | tent and Intermittent Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder these Bitters have no equal. Such D? eases are caused by Vitiated Blood - Méchanieal Diseases.—Persoc.sengaged in Paints:and Minerals, such as Plumbers, Type-setters, Gold-beaters-and :Miners, as they advance in life, are sub“jeet to paralysin of the Bowels. To guard against this, take a dose of WALKER'S VINEGAR BITTERS occasionally. For Skin Diseases, Eruptions, Tetter, Salt-Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Carbuncles, Ring- - worms, Scald-head, Sere Eyes, Erysipelas, Iteh, Securfs, Discolorations of the- - Humors and Diseases of the Skin of whatever name or nature, arve literally dug up and carried out of the system ina short time by the use of these Bitters. Pin, Tape, and other Worms, lurking in the system of so many theusands, are effectually destroyed and re- - moved. No system of medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelminitics will free the system from worms like these Bitters! For Female Complaints, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood, orthe turn of life, these Ton- - ic Bitters digplay so decided an influence that improvement is soon perceptible. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its impurities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Eru{ftidns,‘ or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; cleanse it when it is foul; your feelings will tell’ : gou when. Keep the blood {)ure, and the ealth of the system will follow. - : R. H. McDONALD & CO., Druggists & Gen. Agts., San Francisco, Califor _nia, & cor. of Washington and Charlton Sts.
