WEEKLY 3ST EWfc
A IHIKD PARTf.
Thsrs does Dot seem to be much
prospect of anew or third party in
the next presidential race, yet there is
a large political element which is not
favorable to either the Republican or
Democratic party, as it is now manag
ed. and they will co-operate with one
or the other as circumstances may
drive them. They comprise some of
the strongest and most intelligent men
of the day, and have among their lead
ers such men as Win, Cullen Bryant,
Carl Scburz, &c.

•‘FAVOfITE SONS.’*
The United Si ites is a remarkable
place for favorite sons. Each state,
county, city and household has its fa
vorite son who ,s specially destined
for greatness. Among the Radical
favorite sons for the next presidency,
the Hartford Times mentions the fol-
lowing ;
“Postmaster General Jewell will fig
ure as Connecticut’s “favorite son” in
the Cincinnati convention. Mr. Blame
&b the “favorite son" of Maine. Mr.
Conkling as Now York's “favoriteson."
Mr. Hartri.- ft as the “favorite sc n" of

TL rout effort which our people,

will io free themselves from the

TEXAS.
I,otter from a Special Correspondent.
Houston, Texas, April 30, ’76.
Dear News: —l have by accident, stum
bled on a stray copy of your Weekly in
this far off city, and the idea has occurr
ed to me to write you a letter. In com
pany with Mr. Williams I left Griffin for
this State a few days since, via Chatta
nooga, Memphis, Little Rock, Texacaua,
etc., aud arrived here without accident.
We crossed the Mississippi river at Mem.
phis, and fouud it to be a very unruly
little stream and only forty miles wide
at the time. We saw at Little Rock the
State Republican Convention in session.
It wus a badly “mixed” affair, the deeper
hue predominating, and allot them “talk
Morton.” Houston, our present place
of stoppage, is a city, not in the general
acceptation of the term, but a city with
a population of 25,000 souls. To-day is
Sunday and the church bells mingle their
chimes with the hustle and bustle of
business affairs. Houston enjoys no
rest day. Bar rooms, store rooms, pla
ces of amusement, etc., all stand invit
ingly open on the holy day as on other
days. It must be bard to be a Christian
out here. The big fair has opened and
promises to be a great success financial,
ly, Tho water here is execrable. I don’t
like Texas. I don’t intend to move out
here soon, and wouldn’t advise others to
do so, from what limited observations I
have made. Yours,
A. J. W.
“ O wad some power the gift to gi'e us,
To see ourgel’e ae ithera nee us."
Behold that pale, emaciated figure,
with downcast eyes, like some criminal
about to meet her fate ! Bee that nor
vous, distrustful look, as she walks along
with a slow and unsteady step. The pink
has left her cheeks and the cherry her
lips. The once sparkling, dancing eyes
are now dull and expressionless. The
once warm, dimpled bonds are now thin
aud cold. Her beauty has tied. What
has wrought this wondrous change?—
What is it tlmt is lurking beneath the
surface of that once lovely form ? Does
she realize her terrible condition ? Is
she aware of the woeful appearance she
makes ? Woman, from her very nature,
is subject to a catalogue of diseases from
which man is entirely exempt. Many of
these arc induced by her own
. carelessness, or through ignorance of the
1 laws of her being. Again, many Female
: Disease, if property might, lie
•forested in their course, and thereby
(prove of short duration. They should
not be left to an inexperienced physician
who does not understand their nature,
and is, therefore, incompeteu to treat
them. The importance of attending to
Female Diseases in tlieir earliest stages
cannot ho too strongly urged. For if
neglected, they frequently lead to con
sumption, Chronio debility and often
times to insanity In all classes of Fe
male Diseases, Dr. Pierce’s favorite pre
scription is without a rival. No medi
cine has ever surpassed it. in the Peo'
pies' Common Sense Medical Adviser,
of which R. V. Pierce, M. D., of Buffalo,
N. Y., is the author aud peblisher, is an
extended treatise on Woman and her
Diseases. Under this bead, the various
affections to which woman is incident are
carefully considered, accurately portray
ed, and a restorative course of treatment
suggested. Every woman, as she values
her life and health, should possess a copy
of this valuable book. If she be diseased,
this Advtser will show her how she may
be restored to health, and also direct her
how she may ward off many malrdies to
which she is constantly being exposed.
Lot every suffering woman heed this
timely advioe and see herself as others
see hei. Price of Adviser, $1,50 (post
paid; to any address.
There is a good deal of preparation
going on in some sections of the state,
says the Athens Watchman, for the
election of members of the legislature
the coming autumn. Let the people
look well to this matter, and.let them
see to it that no man shall represent
theta who is unsound ou the conven
tion question This is far more im
portant than any or all other issues
likely to be presented. We cannot
reasonably expect any genuine reform
while the present constitution remains
of force. The people are taxed too
much, the government is too expen
sive, we have too many offices and of
ficers. Let us have a reform. To do
this, we must have anew constitution.

MOULTON’S LETTER
Mr. Francis D. Moultcn appears ve
ry anxious to try his case against Mr.
Beecheronce more,and his long letter,
published in yesterday’s Inter-Ocean ,
gives his reasons for such desire
We very much fear Francis will never
be satisfied with the results of his la
bors in this business. He has been
heard by the public, he has been heard
by a church committee, he has been
heard by a jury. The first regarded
his story with great doubt, the second
looked upon it with great credulity,
and the lust told him by a majority of
nine to three that they did not believe
he spoke the truih. What evidence
have we that he would come off any
better, or be nuy better content, if a
fourth opportunity were extended
him ? His proposition to keep on
trying until lie finds a jury to believe
him, may be a very reasonable sug
gestion to him, but it is hardly just
to the public or to the man he accu
ses, both of whom have heard him so
long and patiently. If a man gets
beat in an ordinary lawsuit, he does
not go to his opponent and say, “I
dare you now to try it over again, an. 1
again, and again," hut this is what
Mr. Morton seems to ask, and to ask
with all that cheerful assurance for
which he has become famous. The
proposition is what “the boys ’ would
call decidedly “cheeky,” if they were
called upon to express their opinion,
and they would be a great deal more
than half right. We do not know
whether Mr. Moulton ; s the victim of
misrepresentation or a party to a con
spiracy ; and life being short, we mify
never ascertain the particular catego
ry in which he should be placed ; hut
we do not know that the public is
tired of him and his scandal, and that
they are not disposed to listen for
another twelve month while he retails
the story which the country has learn
ed by heart. If he has anything new
to impart, let him say so, and tell
what it is ; but if he has any mercy
on a suffering world, he will spare it
another infliction of that dirty and
dismal story he has so often and so
inefficiently told. If Mr, Moulton is
disposed to listen to a calm and ear
nest remonstrance, we would say to
him with all the fervor of a long-suf
fering and persecuted newsboy, “Give
us a rest. —lnter Ocean.
The Cincinnati Journal thinks it
Is
tennial exhibition authorities are run
ning that institution as a Republican
machine, yet the following extract
from the letter of a gentleman iu
Philadelphia to a friend in that city,
suggests that 3uch is the fact :
“Quite a number of men of both
parties have made application for po
sitions. All Republicans have been
accepted, regardless of size, age, ‘or
previous condition of servitude,'while
all Democrats have been rejected.”
This certainly smacks of partizan
ship in a professedly unpartizan en
terprise.
For a long time steamboatmen have
predicted that sooner or later the riv
er would find its way through the cut
off on the peninsula jußt south of the
old site of De Soto, opposite the city
of Vicksburg. On April 26th, the
peninsula yielded to the force of the
current, and quickly an immense flow
of water rußhed through the cut,
which caved in heavily at both side*.
The new channel will shorten river
navigation by about thirty miles, and
leave Vicksburg out in the cold.
The Democratic House investiga
tions remind “Gath” of the celebrated
effort of a man after muskrats, who
vmm mat, after he had been busting
through the swamps and ditches for
three months, by a sportsman. Said
the efcertsman, “How many muskrats
have you caught t” “Well," said the
muskrat-hunter, doggedly, “when I
get two more and the one I'm. after,
I’ll have three."

The Augusta Chronicle is troubled
with anew problem. It says :
“A good deal of arithmetic is re
quired to cypher out some of the cu
nous things of this curious world. If
we had published the lull testimony in
the Kendrick case, the whites of ma
ny eyes would have been exposed to
public view, and sharp condemnations
of “obscene literature" would have
been heard in the land. We do not
publish the evidence because we do
not propose te make the Chronicle <&
Sentinel a garbage cart. But we had
Saturday and yesterday numerous re
quests from highly respectable people
for the loan of such papers in the
state as did publish the sickening de
tails of the filthy story."
The Senate committee on privileges
and elections exhibited a remarkable
sympathy for Pinchback the other
day by reporting favorably upon his
application for pay andl mileage dur
ing tho period he was engaged in lob
bying tor his seat. Why Pinchback
should be paid $20,000 for failing to
gratify his senatorial aspirations, is
what no man can explain. If the re
port is agreed to by the Senate, it
may prove a very lucrative business,
in the future, for disappointed con
testants of seats to put in their claims
for compensation and mileage. Pinch
back has a friend at court. Senator
Morton is chairman of the committee
on privileges aud elections.
The gre „t steam engine at the cen

feet in length ; connecting rods 24
feet in length and piston rods 2 1-4
inches in diameter. The platform up
on which it rests is 55 feet in diarae

Anew railway route between New
York and Philadelphin
form last Thursday with a director’s
blow out. It is composed of three
links, viz ; The Central railroad, thir
ty-two and eighth-tenth miles ; the
Delaware and Bound Brook railroad,
twenty-seven miles; uud the North
Pennsylvania railroad, twenty-eight
and six tenth miles. The through
distance to New York on this road is
eighty-eight and four.tenth miles-
The track is double, and is composed
throughout of steel rails, weighing
sixty-ffix pounds to the yard, all <. r
which is stone ballasted. One of the
most promising featuies of the new
line is the iron bridge over the Dela

all the other bridges, has a double
track.
An American engineer, Mr. Spalds
ing, has made a proposition to the
Czar of Russia to turn the waters of
the Black Sea into the Caspian Sea,
as the latter is rapidly drying up from
some cause cr other. If that canal is
cut, it may result very disastrously for
both Russia and Turkey, as the chan
nel to the Mediterranean may be so
shoaled as to make Constantinople an
inland city, and deprive Russia of her
valuable outlet to the south.
