SUDDEN DEATH.— Mr. John Hull,

we are in death."
Geo. W. Williams, Esq., of Napier,

recently addressed to Commissioner

Into tiour and wholesale or retail the

nnexed reply lias been received :
Sir: Your letter of the i'tith ultimo,
it relation to the liability of farmers
I ho sell flour manufactured from
heir own wheat, has been received. I
eply that though a farmer inav,
without liability to special tax, sell
lis (/rain or other farm products , either
t the place of production, or while
ravelling about from place to place in
lie manner of a peddler, yet his ex
mption is limited by the law to the
roducls of his own farm; and there
►re, when he has grain floured at the
nil, or manufactured into flour, it he
pi no longer a farm product, but a
lanufactured article, the farmer would
e liable to special tax, the same as
ny other person, either as a dealer or
te idler, according as he may sell the
tone, from any fixed place where he
nay keep it for sale or sell while trav
eling about front place to place in the
banner of a peddler, and without re
frJ whether he may sell in small
[nantities or by the wagon load.

MUTUAL CORRESPONDENCE. The
Senatorial question.
ON THE HOUSE-TUP, Feb. 23, 1869.
DEAR MACLAY "Who shall be our
next Senator" has caused a tremendous
agitation here, equal to an oil excite
ment, and as you are the only availa
ble person for that position, please al
low the use of your name at once.
Time is hurrying us on to the ides of
March. Give us your views at length,
and we will have them published in
our valuable paper, the "Screech-owl of
Freedom GEORGE.
IN THE VALE, March 1, 1869.
DEAR GEORGE: —Yours of the 23d
uit., reached me while I was trying a
case, before Justice Jones, involving
the constitutionality of the Tenure of
Office Act. lam glad that you have
acted upon my suggestion, as it affords
me a magnificent opportunity of say
ing a thing or two which T otherwise
could not have done. The so-called
"original Republicans" shall hear from
me. They shall learn that the spirit
of Willian Maclay, of whom I am a
lineal descendant, and whose cogno
men Iso proudly .bear, shall stand up
for its rights. But lam loathe to say
that your candidate I cannot be. Brief
ly allow me io assign ray reasons. In
the first place, you must know that I
have had the honor thrust upon meby
his loyal Highness, the Governor of
this great commonwealth of four mil
lions of souls, to revise certain laws, for
which I am paid the paltry sum of five
thousand dollars a year. This "legis
lativejob" may take years of toil.
But there are other more powerful
reasons. The aforesaid "original Re
publicans" have placed themselves in
''battle array" against the aspirations
of all who lately joined their ranks for
the sole purpose of riding into power.
They are "makir.g faces" at us when
we but ask pay for the sacrifices we
made to save their wanning cause from
utter ruin. This is the "unkindest cut
of all." Didn't Cessna, Spooney But
ler and myself, the very best material
of the Democracy come over and make
the "Republican" party respectable?
Didn't we cry "Copperhead" like the
very old scratch ? And as I, on former
occasions, went about to prove the di
vinity of one of the "relics of barbar
ism," so am I even now ready to get
down on my knees and eat dirt with
one of Butler's spoons. Yea, more, I
am ready to acknowledge "the univer
sal brotherhood of man" —that is to
say, there is no difference between me
and the other colored folks. In all
conscience, I ask, should more be re
quired to make me intensely loyal.
But this subject is unpleasant to dwell
upon. We should have no family jars.
The Democracy without are yettiuy too
confounded strong—toe can't afford it.
Allow me to add one thing more. If I
am to bo deprived of the "spoils," I feel
determined that Washabaugh and
Mullin shall also be left in the eoid. I
have just discovered that Bedford
county is not entitled to the candidate,
this bein3 Fulton's turn. So these fel
lows might just as well quit.
Please say to my friends, that for the
reasons above stated, I am no candi
date. The look ahead is dark to me.
I feel constrained to decline. J am
doomed. Renegade Democrats have
had their day. Farewell to all my as
pirations! "No Irish need apply."

; There in no mistake about it, Plan
tation Bitters will ward off Fever and
Ague and all kindred diseases, if used
in time. No family need suffer from
this distressing complaint if they will
| keep Plantation Bitters in the house,
and use it according to directions. The
most important ingredient of this
medicine is Calisayaor Peruvian Bark,
which is known to be the finest and
purest tonic In the vegetable kingdom.
The extract of this Bark is the active
principle of all the good Fever and
Ague Medicines prescribed by intelli- |
gent doctors. Calisaya Bark is used
extensively in the manufacture of
Plantation Bitters, as well as quinine, '
and we dare say they owe their popu- 1
larity mostly to that fact. We can
receommend them.
