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. sMi'til mm The Macon Teh graph in its exu berasce of joy over Gov. Smith de clining to be a candidate for govern or! now comes boldly forward and suggests that, he receive a cabinet ap pointment under the new democratic administration which is to be.

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 Penns a Mr. Hayes as the “fa vorite of Ohio. Mr. Morton as the “1 a son” of Indiana. Mr. Cl mao Michigan's “favorite son." Mr. P sek as the fa—well, call him tl ligal son of Louisiana,” since ■ei mmenced swearing.

TL rout effort which our people, tlurii the approaching campaigns, stat< -1 national, will have to make, will io free themselves from the pern a:- ii.fluencesof rings and per soni- ■ ques. They must determine to tl ’.nod act for themsolvos, and take f i.<>rcise of the power of suf feraj. itc their own hands, and out of th aids of the wire-pullers and offiei ; pap-buekors. Wo never can boa free, a prosper tms and a contented people unless we place men of merit, capacity and in tegrity into official positions. The voice which determines the candidate for any office from president or gov ernor, down, should be the direct voice of the people, not the counterfeit echo, prompted by political shysters, or the bray of individuals who wear a master’s collar. —Atlanta Common-. wealth. 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. + mm It appears that Morgan Rawls has got into trouble in his clerkship in the document room of the House of Rep resentatives, end bar been invited out.

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 steamer Great Republic, the largest oa the Mississippi with an ex cursion party from St. Louis, went t’ rough the jetties into the gulf Wed r Jiy and returned.

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 tennial weighs 800 tons ; will drive eight miles of shafting, has a fly wheel 20 feet ’ diameter aud weighing 70 tons ; is of 1,400 horse power, with a capacity of being forced to 2,500 horse power ; lias two walking beams weig ing 22 tons each ; two 40-. inch cylinders, a 10 foot stroke, a ciank shaft 10 inches in diameter, and 12 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 ter, and composed of polished iron plates resting upon brick foundations that extend far down into the earth. The he ; glit from the floor to die top of the walking beam is 39 feet. 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 ware river at Yardleyville, which, like 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. . -i. Generals Crook, Gibbons and Cus ter are going to start on an expedi tion of extermination against the Sioux Indians on the 15th instant In the meantime much of the aboriginal dissatisfaction could doubtless be al layed by sending forward the neces sary supplies to Red Cloud agency where, it is reported, the Indians have been on the verge of starvation for three or four weeks.
