A Campaioh Slander. When Dr. R
V. Pierce was a candidate for S,tate Sena
tor, his political opponents published a
pretended analysis of his popular medi
cines uoping luereoy to prejudice tne peo
ple against him. His election Jby an over
whelming mnjority severely lebuked his
traduccrs, who sought to impeach his bus
iness integrity. No notice would have
been taken of these campaign lies were it
not that some of his enemies (and every
successful business man has his full quota
of envious rivals) are republishing these
bogut anahs.'S. Numerous and most ab
surd formulas have been publislicd, pur
porting to have come from high authority;
and it is a significant fact that no two have
been at all alike conclusively proving
the dishonesty of thtjr authority.
That terrible scourge, fever and ague,
and its congener, bilious remittent, be
sides affections of the stomach, liver and
bowels, produced by miasmatic air and
water, are. both eradicated and prevented
by the use of Hosteller's Stomach Bitters,
a purely vegetable elixir, endorsed by
phvsiciaua, and more extensively used as
a remedy for the above plass ot disorders,
as well as for many others, thaq any medi
cine of the ae. A languid circulation,
a torpid state of the liver, a want of vital
stauina, are conditions peculiarly favora
ble to malarial diseases. They are, how
ever, surely remedied by the Prevenla-
' tive, which, by invigorating the system
).n.l.n.lAin,fl will. A....l. .-I,.. II
as vigor, provides it with a resistant pow
er which enables it to withstand disorders
not only ot a malarial type, but a host of
others to which feeble and ill regulated
syeteme are subject. The Bitters are a safe
as well as searching eradicant, and have
widely superseded that dangerous drug
which palliates but does not eradicate malaria.
A bill has beeen introduced in the Lec-
islature to prevent drunkenness, niakiae
it the duty of any constable, police oiticcr,
town councilman, mayor, burgess, school
director or supervisor upon their own
knowledge, or upon infonuation by any
citizen, of any person being in a state of
intoxication, to arrest or cause to be ar
rested and taken before any justice of the
peace, who shall impose a tine of five dol
lars, one-half for the officer making the ar
rest and the lust ice as fees, and the hai
once tor the school fund. Upon the fail
ure to pay the fine the justice shall com
mit the delinquent to jail for thirty days.
Any ofiicer who shall refuse or neglect to
act shall be fined not less than twenty-
five dollars, or imprisoned thirty days, and
any justice of the peace who reluses to en
loroe the law f hall pay a fine ot twenty
five dollars. If the law passes there will
be some lively times under its provisions,
and we have no doubt lots of fines.
Dairy News .During the past week
"the change" to the new system of man
ufacturing and disposing of the dairy pro
ducts ot the county has been the subject
of general conversation. But few if any
returns of butler were received, no sales
having been made, there being no de
mand for summer-packed "GladesButter."
One commission firm writes:
"We don't leave an opportunity elide
when a keg of "Glades Butter' can be
placed, but there Is not one buyer in five
hundred now that will even look at
"Glades." This is really a fact; and we
believe hereafter that even good "Glades,"
made in the old fashioned dairy way, and
kept through the summer, cannot be sold
at all except at a great sacrifice. It has a
bad reputation; have offered what we
have on hand at ten cents but there are
no buyers." This is bad news for fsom
erser county. But better news came to
hand on Saturday. Whitman & Burrell
wrote: "Mr. Sage and tlie chief cheese
maker will start for your place on Mon
day, and we also hope to send a builder
from here to erect the first factory. The
plans and specifications are being com
pleted here under our supervision now,
and Mr. Sage will Uke them with him on
Monday."
These Eenllemcn are expected here by
Wednesday, and w ill al once printed to
locate two factories in this township one
at Lavansville and the other about three
miles north of the town. Other locali
ties having the requisite number of cows
pled ceil should report them at once.
E. M. Scumx'K,
Chm. of Com.
Cai.ikouma. We are having what the
old settlers call an old fashioned freshet,
in and around the city. Last fall old proba
bilities predicted a dry winter, but judg
ing from the rain we have had, and the
fact that the Sacramento river has risen
twenty-five feet above low water mark
during the last two weeks, it is sale to
set it down as an erroneous prediction.
Plenty ot rain is needed here during the
winter months to insure good crops, but a
little less water just now would be desi
rable, for Sacramento is In such a predic
ament as perhaps seldom occurs. The
city is on level ground, and the river hav
ing very little fall, it must be protected
from being overflooded. For this purpose
the greater part is surrounded by a levee
tilteen feet high, on the top ot which is a
railroad; this seems strong enough to re
sist the pressure of any amount of Ti
ter. The rt of the city not enclosed in
this is on the south, and is only protected
from the water by a levee along the river.
This part of the city and the country lor
miles around is now overflowed to the
depth of three to eight feet, caused by the
levee on the river-bank giving way a
week ago. There has been no loas jf hu
man lite, though hundreds of cattle, hogs
and sheep were drowned.
A lew of the unlucky ci'.izens have
moved temporarily to dryer quarters, but
most of them stick bravely to their homes,
doing their shopping, visiting, etc., in
boats. A view from the levee reminds
one of the city of Venice as I imagine it
lobe. The jieople seem to be well sup
plied with boats, as though such a flood
had been anticipated. But the trouble is
not all on the outside; inside the main' le
vee is where tlie joke comes in. As soon
as it was known that the lower levee had
given way the alarm bells were rung, and
several thousand men were immediately
put to work to close the openings (street i)
in the levee to keep the water outside,
which was satisfactorily done. At the
same time the drains aud sewers of the
city, all of which empty at that oint had
to be closed. I his sunt on all avenues oi
escape for the city water, which must ne
cessarially accumulate rapidly. What to
do with this water was the next question.
1 here seemed to be no other remeuy than
to pump it out
Two steam pumps and two very effi
cient Chinese pumps were fitted up, and
have since been in operation day and
night: but pumping is not a success when
the heavens let the moiatnre down twice
as last as it can be lifted out. Besides the
rain water in the citv two million gallons
are pumped In every day for the use of the
city. Al the present time about a dozen
blocks are overflowed inside the levee,
and the waier gaining rapidly on the
pumps.
In liGl-G2 the whole city was inundat
ed to the dtpth of ten feet, causing a great
deal of suffering and loss of property ; but
such a serious time is not likely to occur
again as most of the streets are on a high
er grade now than then. Inside the levee
the eople don't seem to take it so patient
ly as those on the outside, and are inclined
to tret and growl:
Those will growl now
Who never growled before;
And those who always growl.
Now will growl the more.
It is thought the water from the city
will be away in a week after the rain ceas
es to pour down, ine Heavens must
close their windows some day.the sun will
shine again, the flood will be gone, the
streets will be dry, and every body will
again be happy.
"The farmers and people geuerallv are
jubilant over the prosjiects lor an immense
crop ot Iruit and grain a.l over the state.
The miners have their harvest now; plen
ty ot water to work all the mines, the
workin "men's trouble in San Francisco
will probably soon be at an end, and the
fears of a riot dispelled. Farmers feel en
couraged and will give employment to
most of those who will work lor reasona
ble wages.
It is estimated that there are at present
in San Francisco filteen thousand men out
of employment a large number ot whom
are fed at public expense. John China
man.ol course, gets the blame for crowd
ing out white labor, while tlie trouble is,
txi many crowd into the city instead of go-
in into the country where work, can be
had.
A large msjority of those are young
men who liave lately come trom the east
Two car loads of immigrants from the east
have passed through this city every day
during the last three month; prior to that
time there were often three to four cars
per day. Now I believe California is as good
a place to come to as any otner.or a lit
tle better; but the trouble with many who
come with limited means is, they have no
particular place ot destination in view,
and as an emigrant ticket is invariably
good to San Fiaucisco, loo many conclude
to have the full benefit of it, and to their
sorrow, Ltud in the worst place
in the state lor a poor man.
Then the only remedy is to abuse the
Chinese.
The weather is warm here notwith
standing the immense amount ot Snow on
the mountain, visible from here. Snow
has fallen in this valley three times in
twenty five years. The -coldest weather
we h"vc had here this winter was twenty
seven degrees above zero, though there
are places in the State where it is' colder
than in Pennsylvania. . t torn what 1 have
heard I think the climate ot S icramento
valley compares favorably with that of
Florida. Almonds are now in fql)
bloom.

Our Primart Ei.kctiox. In as much
as the Chairman ot the Republican Couuty
Committee has indicated the time for hold
ing the primary election as Saturday,
June 1, 1 have thought a few words on
the subject would not be amiss. In our
opinion the time fixed Is a very good one,
although we would preicr to have it in the
fall, say the latter part of September or
the first part of October, since the consti
tution has chanced the limn tor holding
our general election trom the second Tues
day in October to the first Tuesday in No
vember. From the first of June to the general
election in November, a period of five
months, is too long to have a ticket stand,
as it often happens that some untorseen is
sues may arise during the interval, thut
were they known, a different kind of ma
terial might have been selected for candi
dates. Then again it would be at a time
when the people would give political
matters more attention than they do in
the spring.
I wish to call attention to the fact that
the number of candidates will be unusu
ally large this spring, and it is currently
reported that at the primary a year ago,
when a large number ot the present com
mittee men were appointed, there was
quite an animated contest in many oi tne
townships for the position, and certain
gentlemen who are likely to be candi
dates this summer took an active part in
the election ot these committee men. The
result was that a number ol those who
had served on the committee in former
years were re-elected. Now what does
tins mean T is me position one oi sucu
profit ! There certainly must be some
thing in it of more importance tkan the
public are aware of. Of what importance
can it be to a candidate who the commit
tee man is, provided he and his clerk are
honest and upright and discharge their
duties without partiality.
But alas for human frailty, as rumors
will often have it, tickets that are voted
John Doe are called out and credited
Richard Roe, or lor certain favorites, or
to the one who has made use of the most
tickle money. We do not however, im
pute dishonest motives to all ot the gentle
men coaiDosing the Couuty Committee as
we are personally acquainted with most of
them and do know them to be men oi tne
highest respectability in their community.
We understand that in some townships
a teller and clerk were selected at the
same time which is as it should be In all
cases.
Nov that the coming primary is a mat
ter of much importance to every Repub
lican voter, as the nomination is generally
equivalent to an election, it should be the
imperative duty of every honest voter to
to see to it that the next primary election
shall be held and conducted in such a
way and manner as to defy the possibility
or shadow of fraud.

tickets should be carefully strung and pre
served in case that any contest may arise.
We would further suggest that each com
mute man appoint two good men In his
district ol undoubted character, to assist
him in addition to bis clerk; the one to as
sist and string the tickets and the other to
act as assistant clerk so as to remove all
doubt or cavil so far as the honesty of the
count of the vote is concerned, and that
there could lie no question of unfairness
on the part of any one. Perhaps a better
plan would be to let the Chairman of the
County Committee name the two addi
tional persons. All. however, to be done
without compensation, except the com
mittee man w ho is required to take the re
turns to Somerset, who, as usual, should
be allowed a reasonable compensation as
traveling expenses.
1 think we still have enough patriotic
men in each district willing to give one
day to help perpetuate the free institu
tions handed down to us from our fore
fathers. In view of all these precautions necessa
ry to fair and honest elections in the
several districts of the county, would it not
be a good plan for all of the candidates to
agree in uniting, as we learn the aspirants
for the Legislature have done, not to can
vass the county more than their own dis
tricts. It would certainly save them both
time, trouble, and money and perhaps at
the same time insure more to their chance
for success than to canvass all the districts
in the county; any one thus offending alter
such an agreement is made, the Chairman
to have the power to strike his name off
the list ot announcements. And further.
it should be distincllv understood that
none but only known Republicans should
be allowed to vote, as it is often the case
the opposite party is allowed to vote
and control our primaries to such an ex
tent as to very much weaken the ticket
At the general election very few of them
win ever support the same person whom
they helped to place in nomination and
thus defeat the dominant party.
V e have every reason to believe that if
our primary system was conducted on a
more rigid system, looking to more fair
ness and honesty, it would give better sat
isfaction, and at the same time bring forth
a better class of men in point of ability;
bring out a greater portion of our popula
tion, as very many abstain from voting or
taking any active part in them, on account
of the manifest fraud practiced in some
districts. As we do not intend to be a
candidate ourself for any office, and
should be entirely passive in this matter,
our only aim shall be fairness' and impar
tiality toward all the ditferent candidates,
and then we think no one should have
any cause to complain of the result

Pleasant Valley, Pa., Feb. 23. 1S73.
Thirty Years Aco. When I was pas
tor of a small congregation in .Mount Vcr
non, Knox county, Ohio, I took occasion
one evening to attend a love least in the
Methodist Episcopal church of that place.
Some three or four hundred people were
presenL As is their custom, one after
another rose and gave iu his or her expe
rience, generally of a very serious and sol
emn character. After a time, a man ot
humble circumstances, small in stature,
and with a very effeminate and rather
screechy voice, rose, .back near the door,
to give a sketch of his experience, which
he did in the following touching and strik
ing mapner: "Brethren, have been a
member of this church for more than a
quarter of a century; I have seen hard
times; I have been much affiicted in my
person and family; but I have for the first
time in my life to see the pastor or the
trustees ot this church to cross the thresh
old of my door." At this point the broth
er was interrupted by one of the old trus
tees rising and addressing him in a firm
and loud voice, as follows: "My dear
brother, you must put the devil behind
you." On his taking his seat, the good
pastor rose in the pulpit, and with solemn
tone addressed himself to the little man in
the rear of the church. "My dear brother,
you must remember that we shepherds
are sent to the lost sheep of the bouse of
Israel. heieupon the litlie man in
stantly rose, and with bis screaching
voice, in rather a loud and excited tone,
replied: "Yes, and it 1 had been a fat
one you would have found me long ago."
The effect upon the large audience can
be belter imagined than described.

Tbe session held by tbe Legisla
ture on Monday evening might as
we'l be abandoned fcr any thing of
good that it then accomplished. The
sport of introducing organical resolu
tions of a political character during
these sessions Las grown very stale,
and tho prosaic reading cf biils the
first time is by no means relished by
either House, and the Senate espe
cially, tbe last mentioned body on
last Monday nigbt held a session oi
obout ten minutes passing seven
bills on first reading aud adjourned.
In the House Mr. Sounder of
Philadelphia from tbe committee ap
pointed to draft resolutions on tbe
death of Hon. Henry O-Xeill late
member from tbe fourth district of
Philadelphia reported a preamble and
resolutions which after appropriate
speeches were unanimously adopted.
Tbe House then adjourned without
doing any business, out of respect to
the memory cf tho deceased member.
At the close of tbe session the "Im
mortal J. X." who was present in the
lobby was called upon for a speech
and responding he entertained the
members for half an hour or more.
He gave some home thrusts of a po
litical nature to bjtb sides of the
House which were much enjoyed.
Oa Tuesday the bill defining the
term and enlarging the duties of tbe
ollice of Recorder in Philadelphia
came up on it's final passage, when
Mr. Faunce Democrat from Phila
delphia raised tbe point of order
that under tho fourteenth article
third section of the Constitution the
bill is unconstitutional. The section
provides that no person shall be ap.
pointed to any cilice within any
county who shall not have been a
citizen and uu inhabitant therein one
year next before his appointment.
The bill provides that a Recorder
shall have refilled only six months in
tbe city to make him eligible to ap
pointment. The point raited was
submitted to tbe bouse by speaker
Myer on the eve of the adjournment
of tbe morning sos&ion. When tbe
House met in tbe afternoon the
speaker withdrew bis decision to
submit tbe point to the' House and
bimtelf decided tbe point not well ta
ken. M?." Faunce appealed from
this decision but the appeal was not
sustained, and a vote was taken on
the bill, which was then declared
lost for want of a constitutional ma
jority tbe yeas were 04 and the nays
77- A political admixture in the
vole was somewhat ot a surprise,
among the yeas were seven Demo
crats, viz: Crawford, Holland, Mac
kin and Pallatt of Philadelphia, Car
ver of Bucks, Judge, and Saw of
Montgomery. Among the nays were
sixteen Republicans.
On Wednesday the vote above
given was reconsidered and the bill
again placed upon its final passage,
ibis lime successfully. It was agreed
to yeas 107 nays 74.
A bill has been introduced into tbe
House providing that no railroad or
transportation company shall grant
fuse passes tf any kind to any person
except employes. The bill also allows
tbe granting of tree passes or tickets
at reduced rates to tbe clergy or for
purely charitable purposes.

Richmond, Va , Febrnary 23. A
personal rencontre between two
kinsmen occurred yesterday in
Charles City ccanty, about forty
miles from Richmond, which forci
bly rec-f.Ha eld days. Tbe parties to
the fiht urere Tbouias Wilcox and
Richard Walker, both occupying a
I high social position. It seems that
the liuds cf Colonel Y llcox, or Buck
land, near Wilcox's Wharf, in
Charles City, anciently adjoined
tbofee of Major George Walker, in
tbe same county. In some sale or
division cf the property a portion
was cut iff and sold or rented by
tho purchaser. A controversy there
upon arose as to tbe boundary lines,
and last week hard words were ex
changed between Mr. Charles Mc
Clellan. a son-in-law of old Major
Walker, and Philip Wilcox, a son of
the old ColoLcl. A challenge pass
ed, but, by order tf Judge Christian
the parlies were arrested. Gas Wil
cox, another son of the old Colonel,
thereupon used harsh terms as to
McCIellan and as to old Major Geo.
Walker, and wa3 harshly answered
by Richard Walker, son of the old
Major. Afterward, that is ye-ner-dav,
Richard Walker and Gus Wil
cox met (i: is said by accident) in a
country lice, and at once opened
pistol fire. After a shot or two, Wil
cox said to Walker: "Hold on ; my
pistol is oat of order and won't
hre." To which alker replied :
"All right; I'm not in a harry, and
I'll wait." The pistol being read-
jur-teu tee tiring began again, ana
tbe result was that W alker fell, shot
through the faea and exhausted with
lors of blood, and Wilcjx received a
slight wound in the arm. Roth par
ties were arrested.

1'lTTsiiiR.i, Feb. 23. Sheriff Gu!-
fey, of Westmoreland county, baa
succeeded in unearthing a gang cf
Mcllic Maguires, who have been op-
eiaiiug for three years past in the
vicioity cf Irw iu s btatioo, on the
Pennsylvania Central Railroad. Up
to the timo these men began work
the relations between the miner and
employer were of the most amicable
description, but shortly af.er their
appearance the men became dissat
isfied, and this feeling increased un
til it culminated in an open outbreak.
The miners struck, and during the
lockout many instances cf open vio
lence occurred. The town of Ir
win's has been fired several limes,
and one?, more than half ot it laid
u ruins. These Crcs were attribu
ted to carelessness at tbe time. The
Sheriff obtained a duo last week and
succeeded in interviewing one of the
suspected, who made a full confes
sion. This man, Parfur, says tne
gang numbered twelve or fifteen
men; that they were regularly organ
ized and held periodical meetings in
a hotel near Irw ins. Tbey organiz
ed and conducted tbe strikes, and
during one of them a crwd cf tbe
Mollies attacked a miner named
Fowler, who was at work in the
mines, but were driven ou alter an
exchange of shots. On the same
night they burned the Tipple, check
houses and wagons of tbe Raid Ea
gle mines. Tbey Have caused all
tbe Ere?, and during the July riots
in this city tbey burned haystacks,
cut the telegraph wires and killed a
young man named Carroll, whose
body tbey placed on tbe railroad,
where it was discovered at daylight,
mangled and torn, l'arfitt also
brought to the Sheriff another of tbe
gang who, on being cornered up, cor
roborated Rarfitt's story. The rest
of the Mollies, getting wind cf the
disclosure, fled precipitately, and de
tectives were at once started in pur
suit, and were close on them at last
accounts. Great excitement exists
ia tho village and the surrounding
country.

on Andrew's Island, iu the Delta of

away last night in consequence of the
