A bill to protect the people of this State
against the illegal and fraudulent issue of bends
and securities and for other purposes, vetoed by
the Executive, wap, on motion, taken up, and
the veto message returned therewith was read.
The message based the disapproval of the bill
on the material damage to the credit of the
State which, it alleged, the bill would effect
upon its nnconstitntionality in violating the ob
ligation of contracts, and generally upon its
contravention of the wisest financial policy.
Mr. Burns denied that the bill proposes re
pudiation of anytbiog. It merely provides for
a committee to investigate the bonded debt of
the State and to report to the General Assem
bly. He considered it the most important
measnre of the session, and well calculated, as
was designed, to protect the credit of the State
and restore it to its original vigor.
Mr. Simmons said tho bill wa3 the result of
the most careful labors, and the advice of the
first finanefal ability of the country. Ho said
tte proper authority was totally anable to state
the amount of the State’s debt, and policy and
protection imperatively demand, in the absence
of any record of the amount of the debt, a sus
pension of payment of interest until the people
can know tho actual condition of the State’s
finances. He animadverted severely against
the unjust charges against the Legislature con
tained in the message.
Senator Campbell spoke against the bill, and
called the previous question.
The call was sustained, and the bill passed:
ayes 25, nays 10. Adjonrned.

proved.

mons, of Sumter county, had contested the seat

Committee on Privileges and Elections. He

proceedings as relate to the adoption of a reso
lution requesting the Governor to order an elec
tion in said county.
Mr. Hudson said that no contest had been en
tered for Mr. Brady’s seat, and now since Mr.
Brady is dead, certainly his seat cannot be con
tested.

consider was laid on the table.

The Political Ontlook.
[Special to the Louisville Courier-Journal.J
The caucus of the Democratic Senators and
members, to be called to give an expression on
various measures which will arise during the
session, and the still more important question
of the Presidency, will probably be postponed
till after the holidays. An informal interchange
of opinion on the course to be taken in the lat
ter particular shows great unanimity in opposi
tion to undue haste, or to any step that looks
like a surrender of the Democratic organization
into the hands of the anti-Grant Republicans.
Whatever may be the strength of the latter in
the country, there does not appear at present
to be a single one of the 139 Republican mem
bers of the House, who is willing to publicly an
nonnea his opposition to the renomina'.ion cf
Grant. There fire nevertheless many who are
at heart opposed to it, but they at the same
time admit that if he is the nominee of the Re
publican party they will bo obliged to support
him. The Democratic leaders in the House there
fore, desire to see some positive position taken by
those Republicans who will not support Grant in
any event, before any profession is made for a
coalition to unite the Democratic party with
such au element. Many Democratic members
have requested Hon. Fernando Wood, chairman
of the joint caucus, to have a conference called
next week in order that members may be able
to inform their constituents when they go home
during the recess what position the Democrats
in CoDpresa have taken on this important ques
tion. while others insist on delaying all action
till the full strength of the conservative Repub
licans’ opposition is made manifest. Demo
cratic members were informed by an ex-official
of the Grant administration, who was quite ac
tive as a visitor on the floor of Ihe House, that
the opposition to Grant’s re-election was gath
ering ground among the Republicans in the
West, and that the more regnlar members of
the party were assuming, since the election,
that the Republicans were strong enongh to
elect almost any prominent man in the party in
1872.
KILSSOK’3 AGED LOVER.
Kissed in Spite of llerscir-T lie Quccii or
Soup; iu n Police Conrt.
Jnstice Scott was yesterday called upon to
adjudicate in a singnlar case, the memory of
which will remain with him as long as he lives.
The complainant is none other than Christina
Nilsson, the renowned songstress, and the de
fendant one Charles Theodore Bosch, a German
mnsician of three score, whose heart had been
pierced with Cnpid's shafts until his head had
turned. Mile. Nilsson’s complaint against the
senile lover was preferred in tow, sweet tones
that thrilled the blushing Justice, and filled the
Essex Market conrt room with music.
“He annoys me much, your Honor,” said the
silver-voiced queen of soog. “He follows me
everywhere. If I walk in tho streets he is at
my side; if I enter a door he is with me. He
foolishly believes that ho loves mo, and that I
am essential to this happiness. Please tell him
to give me peace.”
While Mile. Nilsson was thus pleading, poor
leve lorn Busch’s eyes followed every movement
of her lips, and his ears drank in every soand of
her meliflaous voice. Edging nearer and nearer
to his fair enslaver he seized the corner of her
fur cape, and bearing it hurriedly to his lips,
kissed it repeatedly in the ecstacy of his admi
ration.
“He says, your Honor,” continued the fair
complainant, blushiDg, “that I most marry
him.”
“ Yon shall not be troubled by him agaiD,
Mademoiselle,” said the Justice, with a smile.
“Mr. Busch, I shall require you to give bonds
in $300 to keep the peace toward this lady for
six months.”
it is said that the ardent Busch not only fol
lowed MUe. Nilsson and annoyed her with silly
speeches, bnt that on one occasion he had ac
tually stole a kiss from her rosy lips. He had
previously gone so far as to intrude himself into
her private apartments, from which the ser
vants promptly ejected him. The kiss was ta
ken yesterday morning. Mile. Nilsson lost no
time in securing the services of officer Doran,
who took Busch into custody, and carried him
before the Justices
Tbe End of “Liberal” Republicans*
St. Louis,’ December 5.—The Republican
State Gonvention met to-day, and adopted a re
solution instructing the Liberal Republican
Committee to join them in a call for a State
Convention. This resolution was sent to the
Liberal Committee, who were also in session,
and only three of the eleven members present
dissented to the proposition, and they only on
the technical ground that the meeting had not
been called by the chairman of the Committee.
All, however, subsequent voted for the follow
ing:
Resolved, That we now adjonm to meet at
once with the Radical Republican State Com
mittees, not for the promotion of the interests
of any candidate for the Presidency, bnt for
the promotion of pure, enlightened and pro
gressive Republicanism, and to nnite with them
in a joint call for a convention at atr early day
of all Republicans in the Stale, regardless of
past differences, to nominate delegates to the
National Republican Convention, and to elect a
new Republican State Central Committee.
The two committees then met in joint session
and unanimously adopted a call for a State Re
publican Convention, to be held at Jefferson
City on the 22d of February.
Running the Telegbath Lines.—Represen
tative Beck, of Kentucky, in some remarks in
the House on the proposition to run the tele
graph lines throngh the Federal Government,

“There are five thonsand telegraph stations

States,' which wonld be swelled to twenty thou
sand stations and three hundred and twenty-five

tion assumed control of the telegraph system.”

The Alta Californian gives the following as a
genuinely impromptu composition a la Billings
made recently by a little girl in the fifth grade
of the Rincon grammar school:
A goat is stronger than a pig. - He looks at
yon and so does the doctor, bnt a goat has four
legs. A boy without a father is an orphan, and
if be aint got a mother he is two orphan. The
goat dose not give so much milk as the cow bnt
more than the ox. I saw an ox to the fair one
day, with a card tied to his left ear and we all
went in on the family ticket. Mother picks
geese in the summer. A goat eats grass and
jumps on a box. Some folks don’t like goats,
bnt as for me give me a mule with a paint
brash tail. The goat is a useful animal and
smells as sweet as bars oil for the hair. If I
bad to much hair I wonld wear a wig as old cap
tain peters does. I will sell my goat for three
dollars and go to the circus to see the elephant
which is bigger than five goats. Father is com-
ng home and the baby has got the croup.
Collins & Co., Hartford, the great axe makers,
finish 3000 tools per day, in addition to laige
numbers of their new steel plows. Their princi
pal offioe is at 212 Water Street, New York City.
The railroad traveler will find a remedy that
is pleasant and perfectly harmless, and a sure
preventative of the evil effects from Constipa
tion or change of water and diet, by using Sim
mons’ Liver Regulator.
Thi Ahti-Gbant Republicans, aooording to
the Courier-Journal, are falling -away like
Autumn leaves. A Washington special of the
Gth instant to that paper says:
There does not appear at present to be a sin
gle one of the 189 Republican members of the
Honse, who is willing to pnblidy announce his
opposition to the renomination of Grant
There are nevertheless many who are at heart
opposed to it, but they at the same time admit
that if he is the nominee of the Republican
party they wilt be obliged to support him. j
Regulated Diet.—For the upbuilding of imper
fect health, a regulated diet is often bod recourse
to. But this is open to the obj ection, that even un
der the most skilful handling, there may be articles
of food prescribed which—at least in some circum
stances and to some constitutions—may prove the
reverse of benofidoL The use of a tonic stimulant,
(such as Dr. Gottlieb Finch’s Ritters,) obviates this
drawback; because it is one of the properties of a
true tonic stimulant to urge on the excretory func
tions, and thus to enable the system, with the
greater ease and promptitude, to throw off any
thing which, through peculiarity of constitution,
may have proved mj urious. Such, in its workings,
is Dr. Gottlieb Fisch’s Bitters; so that while it has
the positive merit of strengthening the digestive
functions and the appetite, and thus increasing the
nervous and muscular forces of the system gen
erally, it has also the negative merit, that it cannot
possibly do harm 1 •
This subject continued next week under “Food
is Life." . . .
Shocks to the System.—The first shock o
winter tells tremendously upon enfeebled sydema.
Every one knows that in passing from a warm re
gion to a cold one, or vice versa, the body requires
as a protection against epidemics, an acclimating
medicine. AU travellers and voyagers adnR this.
It is equally necessary to acclimate the system in
passing the confines of one season and entering
upon another. Autumn is gone and winter is here.
Prepare the friroe and the constitution to meet the
change by a course of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters.
This inestimable vegetable tonic increases the
etaminal strength of those who tako it, and renders
them proof to a great extent against the devitaliz
ing power of cold and damp. These two agents
are as prolific of disease as tropical boat, and ani
mal vigor-snch vigor as thishealthfol and pure tonic
diffuses through the whole organization—is a re
pedant which they eannot ma-ter. A large propor
tion of the colds, catarrhs, and pulmonary com-
plainte which prevail in winter, might be avoided,
by 8trengtbening and regulating the system in ad
vance with this invigorant and alterative. Not that
it is recommended as a specific for those complaints,
but as a preventive of tljpir causes On the other
hand, it is not only a preventive of, but a specific
for the indigestion, intestinal irregularities, mala
rious fevers, bilious attacks, and nervous affection,
superinduced by a chilly and damp atmoshore.
Good Health and "Long Life.—There is noth
ing more worthy of careful consideration than a
general knowledge of tho plainest and most com
mon-sense laws of medicino and health. Upon this
understanding and observation depends our health,
strength, and longevity. We do not propose to
make doctors of everybody; but we would have all
sufficiently weU posted as to be able to protect
themselves against the impositions of bigited
quacks and misguided fools and knavoj who prey
npon-the feara of tho unthinking masses, only to
plunge them into a ruin from which naugVt hut
doe'll will release them.
Our theory is, progress in medicine, cb in eveiy-
thing else. Tao medical b : got, who is a-s wise as an
0°!, opposes at! innovations or refoimaticns—no
adviiieement for him He wants <0 stand where
science sto.d two thousand y» ars ago. He believes
in blood-letting, puking, and purging, as the only
remedy for all tfil ctions. We believe a warm
stomach will regulate itself: Plantation Bitters aids
tbe stcmich in generating a natural warmth,
which at once sets in motion tho maclnneiy of
digestion, and expels dyspepsia with its horrid
nightmare.
Is it a Wonder, in view of the immense amoun
of adulterated baking powders ia use, that people
have dyspepsia? To escape such evils nee Dr.
Price’s Cream Be king Powder, which time has
proved pure and healthy.
'Beown’s Bronchial Troches, for Palmonary
and Asthmatic Disorders, have proved their efficacy
by a test of many years, and have received testi
monials from eminent men who have used them.
Lose of Vitality.—There is not a case where
there is a loss of vitality in which Dr. Price’s Blood
Euricher will not prove beneficial. Cases given up
as past help, when sinking into hopeless decline,
have recovered renewed life and energy ty its uso.
In addition to its b'ood enriching properties, it is a
true tonic, builds up and constructs, renders diges
tion more rapid and effectual, while it eliminates all
impurities. Druggists have it for eaie.
Bosadalis! The great Blood purifier is without
a parallel.
Williamsburg, Va., April 24, 1869.
Gents :—I feel it due to suffering humanity and
to the celebrity of your valuable preparation to say
that I have used tho Bosadalis with the most de
cided advantage. As a blood purifier it is without
a parallel. I believe it will cure every eruption of
the skin which flesh is heir to, besides possessing
great tonic properties. My family would not be
without it.

rience and knowledge of the business in which ha

folly appreciates the wants of the public for an ar
