lb? gMfirrd feriti. FritlH.v Moriiiiijr, January 10, IS6K. OK*VI AMI THE FRESII>KXY. A meeting of the hondholding na bobs of New York city, held a few days ago, nominated Gen. U. S. Grant for President. A. T. Stewart, the "merchant-prince," Vanderbilt and Astor, the "money-kings," John Cochrane, political will o'*the wisp, et id omtiegenus, were the leading spir its of the concern. The meeting was composed entirely of "bow-backed" Republicans, the resolutions which it adopted, containing not one syllable in endorsement of Congressional "Recon struction." The object of the meeting, it was announced by those who did the talking, was to run Grant for Presi dent, without regard to the action of either of the two great political par ties of the country. Itissaidthat the General accepts this nomination and will stand upon the platform put for ward by Stewart & co. This state ment, however, is not well authentica ted, and may, or may not, be true. If Grunt is to be the nominee of the Radical party, we are glad that he has first been nominated by these bond holders. If he accepts this nomination, he is politically dead and—condemned. No man, no matter who he is, whence he comes, or what his pretensions, if he be in the interest of the bondholders, can be elected to the Presidency. In sheer self defence, the people are compelled to demand that taxation shall be equal, and, therefore, cannot vote for any can didate who is not openly and avowedly in favor of taxing Government bonds, much less for one who is the favorite of the bond-holders themselves. Hence, if Grant becomes the candidate of Stewart & co., he is a "dead cock in the pit." As for the Radicals, they appear to be so intensely alarmed at the tendency of popular feeling, that they will, doubtless, take Grant, fearing to risk the race with any other candidate. But Grant's supposed strength, on ac count of his military prestige, is an idle fancy, and his want of statesmanship, ■" inexperience in civil office, and pro verbially defective knowledge of the English language, will more than coun terbalance his once great, but now de- eaying, popularity as a General. Be sides, if he becomes the candidate of the Radicals, he must shoulder the load of crazy theories and monstrous doctrines which they have promulga ted ; he must carry the ponderous bur den of "Military Reconstruction," Mumbo-Jumbo "constitutions," Ne gro Suffrage and African Supremacy in ten States of the Union. Whether the Radical National Convention en dorse Congress, or not, is of little con sequence. Their candidate will inevi tably inherit the odium that attaches to their party organization, on account of their tyrannical, extra-constitution al and fool-hardy legislation. If Gen. Grant be fool enough to attempt to walk up the White House steps with such a load upon his back, the num ber eight boots that kicked Stanton out of the War Office, will probably stum ble. Our own humble opinion is that U. S. Grant would like very much to be President, and will accept the Radi cal, or any other, nomination that may be given him. In fact, he is the very man whom we desire the Radicals to nominate. We think he can be more easily beaten, or, if by some strange chance heshould be elected, moreemily captured , than any other prominent person in the Radical party. DETROIT, Jan. 2. —The First Nation al Bank of Bay City, Mich., failed to day. The affairs of the bank are re ported to be in a bad condition. De posits amount to about $7c,000. Such is the story! Yet we were told that the National Bank system could not possibly become subject to "fail ures." Why not wipe out these banks, by substituting for the bonds deposited for their security, their value in Gov ernment greenbacks? This would save the interest on some four hun dred millions of bonds and give the public a safer currency. CHARLESTON, S. C'., Jan. A pass enger train was fired into last night by negroes, between BranehviMo and Columbia. No one was hurt, but to allay public apprehension, General Canby is (idled on by the press to pro hibit'the carrying of deadly weapons by both whites and blacks. Now, why don't the Radicals howl? Why don't some of them say some thing about the "spirit of rebellion" that is exhibited by these marauding blacks? Ah ! the boot is on the other foot. The negroes are firing into rail road trains, now, and the Radical press, the Radical stumpers, and the Radi cal Congressional spouters, are silent as the grave. THE Legislature met on Tuesday last. We have, as yet, heard nothing con cerning the organization. HIMBO-JIMBO. The Radicals still persist in their at tempt to force upon the unwilling peo ple of the United States, their diaboli cal scheme for the "reconstruction" of the excluded States. They deliber ately refuse to heed the voice of the people, though uttered in tones of thunder in all the late elections. They contemn the warning given them by their masters, the Sovereign People. They grope 011 in the Egyptian dark ness of the fearful labyrinth in which they are involved, prefering rather to perish in their mad undertaking than to seek safety in retracing their erring steps. They have determined that their black allies shall rule the South, and are pushing forward the work of the Mumbo-Jumbo Conventions, with all the celerity of which the sable ex cotton-pickers and tobacco-field-hands are capable. The Alabama Conven tion has finished its labors, and sub: mitted a "Constitution" which is so despotic in character that the more in telligent negroes, and even some of the white Radicals, openly protest a gainst its adoption. It disfranchises all who refuse to vote upon the ques tion of the adoption of the Constitu tion. It prohibits the establishment of separate schools for white children and forbids the separation of whites and blacks in railroad cars, steamboats and other public carriages. It apportions the State for members of the Legisla ture, so as to give the negroes, who are in a minority in the State, the control of that body. Such is the work of the carpet-bag adventurers from New England, who under the auspices of the Radical party, organized the Loyal Leagues by which the negroes are banded together for the overthrow of white civilization in the South. Through the instrumentality of these nuncios of the Devil, Mumbo-Jumbo reigns supreme upon the throne of "Reconstruction." Mumbo-Jumbo controls the nominating conventions; Mumbo-Jumbo does the voting; Mum bo-Jumbo frames "Constitutions;" and Mumbo-Jumbo expects soon to "be de member ob Congo-rest from dis yar districk." All this while the people of the North are paying the piper who pipes the pleasant tunes to which the dance of Mumbo-Jumbo keeps such excellent time. How delightful a thing it is to sweat out one hundred and thirty millions per annum, in taxes, in order to enjoy the agreeable amuse ment or seeing the Southern Negroes make Constitutions to disfranchise the White Man! Go on, Radical Con gress! Go on, if you think there is no h—ereafter! The people are harnessed to your wagon, but lookout when the traces break! HON. EDGAR COWAX. lii the event that the Democratic nominee for President he taken from some other State than Pennsylvania, we have a decided preference for HON. EDGAR COWAN for the second place on the ticket. Mr. Cowan deserves this recognition at the hands of the Democracy, not only for his fearless and unwavering advocacy of the Right, but because of his eminent titness for the place, to wit: hisability AS a lawyer, his experience and.soundness as a statesman and his unflinching integrity as a man. Who more zealously, or more firm ly, than Edgar Cowan, stood up for the defenceof the Constitution during the stormy years of the war ? Who among all the public men of our country, show ed greater independence of the behests of party, more devotion to the rights of the people, or less regard for his own personal advancement? True, he has not always acted with the Democratic party. But a Democrat by conviction is just as good as a Democrat by birth. We know Mr. Cowan well, and we be lieve him to be thoroughly imbued with those Democratic ideas which lie at the very foundation of our Republi can system. Freedom of conscience and of speech, Trial by Jury, the great writ of right, the Habeas Corpus, the right of each state to control its own do mestic affairs, including the regulation of the suffrage, all these have had an eloquent and powerful defender in the person of Edgar Cowan. But, we will not enlarge upon this subject at present. We have written this article without ever having exchanged words with Mr. Cowan, or with any friend of his, upon the subject, and we do not know that he will permit his name to be used in the connection with which we have suggested it. Nevertheless, we are personally for Edgar Cowan, for Vice President, in the event that the Presidential nomination does not come to Pennsylvania. THE EVENING HERALD, Philadel phia, is a Democratic afternoon daily, which was started, some time ago, as a penny paper, and which has just been enlarged and otherwise improved. It is a sound and sprightly journal C. F. Rein stein and Co. are the pub lishers. THE last few wteks have seldom been surpassed for general slaughter, murder, rapine, disorderand generaidebauehery all over the country. The telegraph wires have scarcely bore any other news. Wickedness appears to be borne upon the very air.— lnquirer. True, every word of it, and no won der! Congress "acts outside the Con stitution," its members committing de liberate perjury in confessedly viola ting the oaths which they have taken to support the Constitution , and their constituents imitate the example in also "acting outside the Constitution" and violating the laws passed in pur suance thereof. Hunnicutt, Lindsey, and other emiuent Radicals,recommend the knife and the torch, if negroes are not permitted to have their way, and the knife and the torch do follow. — Many preachers (wolves in sheep's clothing) have substituted the Negro and him enfranchised, instead of Christ and Him crucified, and some of their flock have strayed into disorder, de bauchery and crime. Is it any won der that "wickedness appears to be borne upon the very air?" SAVANNAH, GA., January 3.—A. A. Bradley, a colored member of the con vention, from Boston, Mass., was ar rested this evening for threatening John E. Hays, editor of the Republi can, and drawing a pistol on him in the street. Thus the Associated Press. So it seems the Radicals had to send a negro from Boston, in order to fill the number of "delegates" to the Georgia Mumbo- Jumbo "Convention." And it seems that this negro is becoming "chival rous," and has betaken himself to "drawing a pistol." And it seemeth further that this negro has been arrested. Now, what will become of the Georgia "Convention?" Will not Georgia have to stay out of the Union a few years longer on account of this arrest? Mind you, Bradley is a "lawyer," the same admitted to practice in the U. S. Supreme Court, on motion of Charles Sumner, a few years ago. How can Mumbo-Jumbo get along without him? The President received the following dispatch from Memphis to-day, (Jan.3): "Memphis is redeemed. Leftwitcli elected mayor. Peace, order and quiet prevail. Free white suffrage vindica ted." Aha ! The bloody old beast, Beelze bub Brimstone Brownlow, is evidently losing ground "way down in Tennes see." He tried his best to force the election of his candidate in this case, by interfering with the registration made by his own Radical officers. But lie failed most signally. Well, tne Devil cannot always have things his own way. "This is not because Walrussia does not consist of the hard stuff, or that St. Thomas is no great shakes, but because Congress has had a damper thrown over it." Thus opines the Inquirer of last week. We are inclined to concur in this opin ion, especially as to Congress having had "a damper thrown over it.-' The late elections were "pretty much of a shower." and some congressmen seem to be anxious to "come in out of the wet." ____________ THE U. S. Senate is about to go through the farce of re-instating Stan ton in the War Office, in order to give him an opportunity to resign. For merly, when Congress did not "act outside of the Constitution," the Pres ident selected his own cabinet advis ers. Now, Congress, which appears to be "the government" at present (the Executive was when Abe Lincoln was President) selects it for him. Tempora mutantur et mwtamur in illis. THE Philadelphia Age of Saturday last, has the following article which we endorse most heartily : IN the beginning of the new year a word or two in behalf oft he Democratic press of the country will not be out of place. In no way can the party be bet ter sustained, than by encouraging its journals. We speak not for ourselves alone, but for every Democratic news paper in the Union. Itis the clear duty of every true friend of the Union and the Constitution to give this matter his personal attention. There are large numbers in every community who are able to take a Democratic paper, but who, from some cause or other, do not do so. The publication of a daily jour nal in these times is an an arduous busi ness, and in too many cases is unremu nerative. The uninitiated have no idea of the labor and expense attending this work. The greateramount of patronage extended to Democratic journals, the larger will be their field of usefulness. Let every Democrat think seriously of this fact, and promptly lend his influ ence to " the good old eause!" DISCHARGE OP LABORERS AND REDUCTION OF WAGES.—A dispatch from Scranton, Pa., says the Delaware, Lackawanna and Western Railroad Company, whose shops have for some weeks been running on eight hours time, have notified its employees, of whom there are nearly one thousand at Scranton, that a reduction of ten per cent, in wages would be made, com mencing on the Ist inst. The Dixon works, which employ seven hundred men, gave similar notice, and will dis charge a numer of single men and those fortheshortesttimeintheemployof the company. The Lackawanna Iron Company recently discharged thirty carpenters and a considerable number of laborers and other workmen, and reduced the wages of others. —Two persons were arrested in Har risburg, Pa., last week, for selling a li bellous book which contained a list of merchants, who, as alleged, would not pay their debts. i NEWS AND OTHER ITEMS. —The Virginia negroes had a surfeit of brutality on Christmas day. From accounts so far received, a negro named Williams shot and mutilated a white man named Edwards in a most shock ing manner in Southampton county. At Manasses a large body of negroes made an attack upon a white man, but finding him prepared, they finally slunk away. At Lynchburg there is a deadly feud between the United States soldiers and the negroes, which nearly took the shape of a general bat tle several times during the day. In Richmond, in the evening, a squad of soldiers became involved in a fight with a mob of negroes, but before much damage was done the police and a squad of armed soldiers arrived and stopped the fight. On Thursday another disturbance occurred between them, but the soldiers, being in the minority, were compelled to retreat before the mob of blacks. The latter followed, armed with pistols and clubs, uttering loud cries of "kill uin—kill the d—d blue coats!" On Friday night another row occurred, but was soon quieted by the prompt action of the military officers and police. These are but a few of the isolated cases of outrages and bloodshed. —Pomeroy, Rump Senator from Kan sas, liekl a talk with the Richmond darkies the other night, at the negro church. He advised the black and tan convention to confer suffrage upon all negroes above twenty-one years, and secure it to them forever. This is rath er a heavy contract. No Legislature nor Congress has authority or power to legislate so lengthy a period, and a mongrel convention will scarcely be mightier. —The Louisiana nigs have put a clause in the "constitution," compelling the admission of negroes to all vehicles of public conveyance, hotels, churches, schools, theatres, halls, <&e., on full e quality witli white folks. They had better now insert a provision compell ing every white man to carry a skunk bag in order to prove agreeable to the company of his African bedfellow or compagnon da voyage. —The Radicals are in trepidation o ver the wail of suffering and sorrow from the South, and the commercial and financial distresses from the North, which all absolutely originate in their party policy, and have recoiled fearful ly upon them. Ben. Wade remarked to-day to a friend in language emphat ic but not classic, "Everything has gone to hell."— Washington Correspon dent. —A collision occurred on the 24th ult., between a party of citizens and a gang of negro leaguers, near Camden, Wilcox county, Alabama, in which one negro was killed and a number on both sides wounded. The fight grew out of an attempt on the part of the darkies to prevent all white men from passing itfong the road by their place of meeting. —ln Missouri the Germans have a queer marriage custom. Some young man is selected to carry invitations to the wedding. He rides about, and each person invited must attach to his hat not less than a yard of highly-col ored ribbon. The effect, when the young man has completed his rounds, is quite startling. —Conrad Ray died at Brookville, on the sixth of December, in his 104 th year. He was born in Columbia County, New York, April G, 1764, and came to Wisconsin in 1834. He was born near the place where Burgoynesurrendered, and heard the noise of the cannonading which preceded it. He was the father of sixteen children. —The New York Sun knows of a poor woman there who embroidered a child's garment by fourteen days' steady work thereon, and received therefor $4. — The material cost the successful mer chant who paid the general price for work on it, $7.

The victim is Miss Jenny Dyer, an estimable young lady. Her mother was also attacked with the same symptoms, but her life was saved. The coroner's jury is now investigating the case. —There were 59,622,202 bushels of grain received at Chicago during the past year, and 1,814,000 barrels of fiour. Of the grain received, 13,000,000 were wheat and 23,000,000 corn. The num ber of hogs received is 1,995,069; cattle, 328,968; pounds of hides, 23,983,000; pounds of wool, 10,000,000; and of lum ber, 862,(XX1,000 feet. —Gen. Hancock has appointed Mr. Joshua Baker as governorof Louisiana, vice B. F. Flanders resigned. Baker is a native of Kentucky. He was a mem ber of the Philadelphia Conservative Convention of 1866, and is, in the nasal dialect of "grand moral ideas"—"trooiy loil." —The Pennsylvania Railroad Com pany has reduced the working time in its shops in Harrisburg to nine hours per day. This change causes a reduc tion of ten per cent, in the wages of the employees. The shops are now closed at five o'clock each evening. —The statement of the public debt for the present month will not be issued till the 6th or 7th of January.

If you are suffering or have suffered from involun tary discharges, what effect does it produce upon your general health ? Do you feel weak, debilita ted, easily tired? Does a little extra exertion pro duce palpitation of the heart ? Does your liver, or urinary organs, or your kidneys, frequently get out of order? Is your urine sometimes thick, milky, or flocky, or is it ropy on settling' Or does a thick scum rise to the top? Or is a sediment at the bottom after it has stood awhile? Do you have spells of short breathing or dyspepsia? Are your bowels constipated ? Do you have spells of fainting or rushes of blood to the head ? Is your memory im paired ? Is your mind constantly dwelling upon this subject? Do you feel dull, listless, moping, tired of company, of life 7 Do you wish to be left alone, to get away from everybody ? Does any lit tle thing make you start or jump ? Is your sleep broken or restless ? Is the lustre of your eye as brilliant? The bloom on your cheek as bright? Do you enjoy yourself in society as well ? Do you pursue your business with the same energy ? Do you feel as mueh in yourself ? Are your spirits dull and flagging, given to fits or mel ancholy ? If so, do not lay it to your liver or dyspepsia. Have you restless nights ? Your back weak, your knees weak, and have but little appe tite, and you attribute this to dyspepsia or liver complaint ? Now, reader, self-abuse, venereal diseases badly cured, and sexual excesses, are all capable of pro ducing a weakness of the generative organs. The organs of generation, when in perfect health, make the man. Did you ever think that those bold, de fiant, energetic, persevering, successful business men are always those whose generative organs are in perfect he ilth ? You never hear euch men complain of being melancholy, of nervous ness, of palpitation of the heart. They are nev er afraid they cannot succeed in business; they don't become sad and discouraged ; they are al ways polite and pleasant in the company of ladies, and look you and them right in the face—none of your downcast looks or any other meanness about them. Ido not mean those who keep the organs inflamed by running to excess. These will not only ruin their constitutions, but also those they do business with or for. How many men from badly-cured diseases, from the effects of self-übuse and excesses, have brought about that state of weakness in those organs that has reduced the general system so much as to in- i duce almost every other disease —idiocy, lunacy, paralysis, spinal affections, suicide, and almost every other form ofdisease which humanity is heir to, and the real cause of the trouble scarcely ev er suspected, and have doctored for all but the right one.
