MILLIONS Rear Testimony to their Wonderful Curative Effect*. They are not a vile Fancy Drink, made ot Poor Rum, Whiskey, Proof Spirits and Refuse Li- q u ors doctQMd, spiced ami sweetened to please Lite taste, culled “TomS, 1 ' “Appetizers, 11 4 ‘Restorers,” &e., that lead the tippler onto drunkenness andrnin, but are a true Medicine,made from the Native Roots and Herbs of Cali fornia, free from all Alcoholic iSt i in ii hints. They are the GREAT BLOOD PURIFIER and A LIFE GIVING PRINCIPLE, a perfect Reno vator and Invigorator of the System, carrying off all poisonous matter and restoring the blood to a healthy con dition. 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 the vital organs wasted beyond the point of repair. They are a Gentle Purgative a§ well a* a Touic, possessing, also, the peculiar merit of acting as a powerful agent in relieving Congestion oi Inflammation of the Liver, and all the Visceral Organs. FOR FEMALE COMPLAINTS, in young or old, married or single, at the dawn of womanhood or at the turn of life, these Tonic Bitters have no equal. For Iuflaniiuatory and Chronic Rlieuma- tieiti and Gout, Dyspopaia or Indie cation. Bil ious, Remittent anti Intermittent ;Fevers, Diseases of the Blood, Liver, Kidneys and Bladder, these Bitters have been most successful. #uch Diseases are caused by Vitiated Blood, which is generally produced by derangement of the Di gestive Organ*. DYSPEPSIA OR INDIGESTION, Headache, Pain in the Shoulders.Ooufrbs, Tightness of the Chest ; Dizziness, Sour Eructations of the Stomach, Bad Taste in the Mouth, Bilious Attacks. Palpitation of the Heart, Inflammation of the Lungs, Pain in the regions of the Kidneys, and a hundred other painful symptoms, are the ofliiprrags of Dyspepsia. They invigorate the Stomach and stimulate the torpid Liver and Bowels, which render them of unequalled effi cacy in cleansing the blood of all impurities, and impart ing new life and vigor to the whole system. FOR SKIN DISEASES, Eruptions. Tetter, Sal- Rheum, Blotches, Spots, Pimples, Pustules, Boils, Car buncles, King-Worms, Scald Head, Sore Eyes, Erysipelas, Itch.Scurfs, Discolorations of the Skin, H imors and Dis. eases of the Skin, of whatever name or nature, are literally dug up and carried out of the system in a short time by the use ol these Bitters. One bottle in such cases will convince the most incredulous of their curative effects. Cleanse the Vitiated Blood whenever you find its im purities bursting through the skin in Pimples, Erup tions or Sores; cleanse it when you find it obstructed and sluggish in the veins; -cleanse it when it is foul, and your feelings will tell you when. Keep the blood pure, and the health of the system will follow. Pin, Tape, and oilier Worm*, lnrking in the system of so many thousands, are effectually destroyed and removed. Says a distinguished physiologist, there is scarcely an indhidual upon the faco of the earth whose body is exempt from tt^ presence of worms. It is not upon the healthy PUnumb or nouy tnax worms exist, but upon the diseased humors and slimy deposits that breed these living im^nsters of disease. No System of Medicine, no vermifuges, no anthelmintics, will free the system from worms like these Bitters. J. WALKER, Proprietor. R. H. McDOXALD Sc CO., D* -’ggistfi and Hon. Agents. San Francisco.

It is impossible, says the Balti more Gazette, to dwell with too much earnestness upon the impor tance of ihorougli and complete un* ion in the Democratic ranks. There i never was a time in the history of |our party when more self-abnega tion was demanded—when a great er amount of personal sacrifice was needed to secure the defeat of our reckless and unscrupulous Pppo neuts. That the political situation is full of peril no one can doubt; that serious appretiensions for the future are entertained by some of our best and wisest statesmen, is a lact that calls for the most prudent action, not only on the part of the leaders, but also among the entire rank and file of the party. That die large majority of the Democra cy will unhesitatingly obey the de cision of the Demticratic National Convention, whatever its voice may be, is unquestionably true, but the-e are some who, at this time, openly announce their intentions not to be bound by its action, unless the de cree registered by that body shall be in strict accordance with their own views and opinion. This is as unwise as it is impolite. Men who permit themselves lo be thus madly carried away by the passions and prejudices of the hour, may find, when it is loo late, that they have unwittingly aided in the perpetua tion of the worst Administration that ever cursed any country. It should, therefore, be the daily duty of ev ery Democrat to urge upon bis brethren the vast importance of un ion, harmony and conciliation, in the utmost degree, and to counsel everyone within his reach to look with entire confidence to the Demo cratic National Convention as the only recognized representative of the paTty whose behests should be heard and obeyed. The only hope of the Radicals is in the dissensions of the Democracy. By a division of our ranks they expect to con quer. They will use every effort to foment discord in our midst, and when they accomplish their work, they wilt “laugh ut our colamtiy anti mock when our fear comes. In two weeks more the National Con vention will assemble in Baltimore. It promises to be the largest and most intelligent meeting of freemen that ever assembled in the Union. Thousand from all quarters of the Republic will gather here to join in this grand demonstration against the corrupt faction now in power. In fact, as well as in name, let it be the oracle of the great Democratic parly. By that sign we will con> quer; but in no other way can we hope for success. The prize is with in our grasp, ll we fjil lo secure it, it will only be because we neg lected to profit by the leaching of aii time that in uni.»n is strength, and that without it, the best and holiest cause may be lost. Miss Kellie Grant and Queen Victoria. The San Francisco “Chronicle” lias received through private sources a letter written by Miss Nellie Crant lo Queen Victoria, previous to her recent visit to Windsor Palace. Its charming simplicity and thorough good sense—if it be authentic— put beyond question all doubts as io the nature of the visit and the feeling which prompted it. It reads as follows : Langley’s Hotel, May, 1872. My Dear Lady and Queen—1 am embarrassed at the honor of an of ficial request, given through a high officer, (your Lord Chamberlain, ] think,) to be presented to your Ma jesty. I should dearly love to see you, that I might tell rr.y mother and father that I had been thus hon ored. I arn but a simple American girl; that I am the President’sdaugh- ler gives me no claim to your re cognition as a sovereign. If, with ihe kind lady who is acting as my chaperon, I might visit you, I should he very glad. Our Secretary of Legation hints at some political sig nificance in this opportunity. I can not so interpret it, and would not like to be so received, because it would not be right, as 1 am nothing in American politics, and I am sure that my father would not desire me to appear any other than as my simple and very humble self. If, with this explanation, your Majesty will allow me lo visit you, I shall be greatly honored and be very proud. I have written this note of my own notion, and because l thiuk it the right thing to do. I am your obedient servant and admirer, NELLIE GRANT. The reply is equally refreshing, and betrays a spirit which does more honor to the British Queen than multitudes of other actions for which her subjects have loudly ap plauded her : Windsor Casltb- Miss Nellie Crant—I have instruc ted Lady ' to convey to you this note, and we shall receive you as the daughter of your honored parents without the intervention of high officers of the State. I shall accept your visit as an “American girl, - ” and there shall be no other significance in the fact than your kindly expressed desire to see the |ady and not the sovereign. I shall .find it pleasant to forget that 1 am Queen in receiving you to-morrow afternoon at our palace of Windsor. VICTORIA. Trot than Out.—We want to see who they are, how much they bag ged, and who helped them. Is It So ?—The Atlanta Whig is informed by a member of the Com mittee of Investigation, that “the great bulk of the money of which the Stale of Georgia was defrauded in 1S70 and the two years previous has been traced to Democratic hands.” Is ibis so J It is hard to believe, hut there has long been much whispering on the suhjcci, and we hope that, if true, these Democratic “hands” will be held up to public reprobation. The peo ple demand that the Investigating Committees expose all, without dis tinction, who have plundered the Slate. If men calling themselves Democrats have united with the vile faction of negroes and carpet baggers lo rob the public treasury, let their names be known and their guilt be punished, whatever may 0e their standing in the community. Georgia wishes lo put the brand of Cain on every robber, and make an example of him that will deter evil doers for all time to come. Georgia Bonds.—The following notice from ex Goveror C. J. Jen kins, will show what is being done with our State bonds: The Stale of Georgia, through her duly authorized agent, the un dersigned, with profound regret an nounces lo the holders of her bonds maiming during the current year, her piescut inability to pay them in legal currency. The causes which have led to this result are too noto rious io need recapitulation in..o. Acknowledging*^ sacred ness of these obligations, and avowing her fixed purpose to redeem them at the earliest possible day, she NOW ten ders lo the holders this alternative. First—She offers them bonds bear ing seven per cent, interest, author ized by the present Legislature and ready f<51" delivery, in equal ex change for matured six per cent, bonds. Secondly—To those who may de cline this exchange, she pledges her self to pay, at her agency in New York, or at her Treasury, semi-an nually, the contract interest as here tofore, on presentation of the bonds, to be stamped with the payment, until the bonds can all be paid in full. The interest due on them at maturity, as w’ell as all coupons, (♦'ailing due on and after the 1st July p oximo,) of bonds issued by said State prior lo2st January, 1868, will be paid by the National Bank of Commerce, the financial agent of the said Stale in the City of New York. That bank is also prepared lo make the exchange of seven per cent, for six per cent, bonds as above proposed. * C. J. JENKINS, Agent for the State of Georgia. The Atlania correspondent of the Savannah News, in a late letter sum ming up the act ion of the State Con vention, refers as follow* to the en dorsement of Gov. Smith by that body : Tlie endorsement of Gov. Smith was hearty and unanimous, and was well deserved. And yet the “ring” men are doing all they can to un dermine his administration. Afresh report is started against him every two or three weeks. The last one is that he interfered to prevent the passage of a bill to relieve a certain well-known citizen of his political disabilities. Having heard of this report, I called the attention of the Governor to it, this morning, and he pronounced the whole thing an un mitigated falsehood. So tar from doing anything of the sort, he said he had done all he could to have the disabilities of all our people remov ed* A New and Valuable Metal.— The Hartford Couranl says: Among the objects of art in the exhibition at the Hartford Art Association there will be a lion and a tiger by the fa mous animal sculptor of Paris, M. Barye, cut in American sterling metal at Naubuc. Few of our citi zens are aware that so near this city there is being manufactured one of the most valuable and wonderful of metals—a metal harder than cast- steel, that is not affected by air or earth, and that can he cast with perfect ease into any form. Prepa rations are being made lo use it tor works oi sculpture. | From the Denver News May2*th. Business Capacity A Story oj Jackson Diggings. One sunny forenoon when the town ‘roosters’ with the usual sprink ling of ‘pilgrim-,’ had ‘corraleil’ | iheir finy drink for (lie day at Un- tele Di4P ‘shebang,’ and repairing ! to their usual stations, we noticed » new character among them. He was a short, sharp looking man of middle age, with ‘pepper and sail’ sprinkled hair and beard, and clad in the dirtiest of miners shirts and buck-kins. He soon pnl on the airs of a ‘traveled man’ among Lis green-burn listeners, and it was ev ident that They had struck true mine at least that just sui;ed them. ‘Where ate you from?’ asked one. ‘JustdeWn from the mines, ‘Fard’ — Jackson diggins.’ ‘WIipu did you come in?’ ‘Right now — Ijust artiv’—I slept down here by the river last night, Under the cotton woods.’ ‘You must be dry then—let’s take suthin.’ ‘Thank ee, neighbor, don’t care if I do take a nip, tho'bgh I seldom drink—my bed-room was mighty chilly this mornin’. And they proceeded to pay their respects to Uncle Dick. Returning, wiping their lips with respective butternut, and buck-kin sleeves, and resuming their perches, the con versation proceeded: ‘Well, how’s times up there, any way?’ ‘Oh, they're just bully, old fel.’ ‘Then what made you cornea- way?’ ‘That’s ori acount of my health, you see, and for a change of cli mate.’ ‘Just so, but it seems to me I’d a staid there if time was so good.’ ‘Well, now stranger, seeiu’s its you, 1 don’t care it l tell you all about it but you bet your sweet life, Jackson digging is a mighty lively place. You see Pin an old Califor nian, and, and I ain’t much on the work. I soured on that long ’go. But I’ve got a wonderful capacity for business. You see, 1 struck ihla Prp Mmn near about a month ago, when it was mighty urn oi pil grims. It I'd had a little money, 1 could have made my pile, hut 1 hadn’t nary d—d dollar. That’s just my d—d luck always, but I be gun to look around and 1 soon found a fellow what had a stock of groce ries—mostly whisky—and before long I got right well acquainted wi h him, I found that he hadn’t a d—d bit of capacity for business but he was heavy on the drink. Well, I told him about my capacity tor trading and ’specially for mer cantile pursuits, and he was so struck with my capacity that we .-truck a pardnership to onc’t. He was to furnish the money, and J was to furnish the capacity and we was to be equal pardtiers. So we packed up the hardware, dry goods and sich and pulled out for Jack- son diggins. As soon as we got there and set our tent up and be gan tradin’, my pard nor lie t»*ok down drunk and be staid drunk for mor’n a week. By that time I’d sold out the whole stock, I tell you stranger I’ve a wondetlul capacity for mercantile bussiness. The whis ky bein’ ail the gone, of course my ‘pard,’ he got sober and I started him off down here to Rary (Aunaria) for a new stock. In about foui or five days he came back pretty well fixed considering, and went to tra- din right and left, but rny pardner he took down drunk agin. He was the d—dost fool 1 ever saw. Well, in about a veek the goods were all gone, and some how or notber, there wasn’t no money on hand. The pardner hadn’t the least hit of ca pacity. When the goods w r as all cleaned out, he pretty soon begun to sober up; but I found out after wards that he had a jug full hid a- way. When he got sober enough 1 proposed to dissolve the cahootner- ship, and he finally agreed to it, so we closed up the concern and divi ded the assets, and—’ ‘But what in the world hudjrou to vide?’ ‘What did we divide?’ Oh, yes; pard, he look drunk and I took the diarrhea, and Ijust come down here to the vally on account of my health, atid to look for another pardner. 1 say, stranger, have you a stock ol goods ? for if you have, by jinnig with my capacity for mercantile pursuits, you can jist make your e- ternal fortune up at Jackson diggins. for it’s mighty lively place, 1 tell you.’ Virginia.—The Democratic State Convention of Virginia yeslerday» in session in Richmond, instructed her delegj«tes to vole for Greeley and Brown. On the 21st uit., a Greeley and Brown meeting was held in War wick, Orange county, New York. There was a President and 13 Vice- Presidents, all leading Republicans, The Stamp Abolitions.

It is a matter of jnst pride to every thoughtful anil liberty-loving man that the infamous Ku klux law is a thing ot the past. In our joy over this, we are apt to forget that many ot its effects still survive; our Northern prisons still hold many persons whom that law has enabled partisan spite to condemn to weary years of confinement. In the Alba ny penitentiary is a Southerner by the name ot Moore. This is the story he tells: “Brfore the war I was a well te do planter in Alabama. I owned many slaves, which constituted my wealth.—The events ot the war re duced me nearly to poverty. At its close 1 gathered together the frag ments of iny ruined estate, hired a few of my former slaves, and com menced life anew. Ail went well with me until a month or six weeks ago, when i was suspected of be ing a Ku kiux, arrested by a United Slates marshy,given a hasty trial, found guilty, sentenced, and two weeks ago was brought from Wash ington to this prison. My term is ten years." Anti-Dust Railroad Cars.—On Saturday afternoon (says the Phila delphia Record) an anti-dust ex periment was made on the fast two o’clock express cars to Atlantic City. There were ten well filled cars in the train, each having a can vass apron on both sides, covering the spaces betwen it and the rails. The end of these aprons lapped, thus forming continuous canvass from one end of the train to the oth er. On a part of the trip the speed attained was about forty miles per hour. There was not the least par ticle of dust in the first seven cars, but there appeared to be something like dust in the eighth, ninth and tenth cars, but not enough to show on the garme.its of the passengers.
