(J Wo have from time to time warned whom it might concern that any invest? ment in carpet-bag bonde Was a very hasardons ventare; but, so far, it ap? pears that there has always been some one ready to advance on every issae put forth in the name of the several South? ern States by those superstitious persons therein assuming to bo and acting as Governors, Legislatures, and so on. Muoh of this acceptance by moneyed mon of the certificates bf indebtedness pnt forth by .the pretended State antbo thorities of the South has been due to the conviction that it. was useless for the citizens of theso States to protest against the reconstructed regime; that it ws fastened down upon them, and no al. -- nativo was left them bat submission to its operations. So far as the present goes, this is undouutedly a correct hypothesis; to all exist ing appeal anco the new regime is potent in its sway over the people upon them, by Federal bayonets, it has been imposed; but, while suoh is the present aspect of affairs, the truth is that this violent and fraudulent soborno of re? construction hos no real strength beyond that hold which the radical party has on Eower. As every election shows, this bid is growing weaker and weaker; and BO evident is this tendency that there are few observant men in tho republic who do noot feel that, with ordinary prndence and energy, the Democratic party is certainly destined to triumph in 1872. With suoh a triumph, there will be but one rule for the conduct of the Southern question, and that the fallest possible exemplification of the great principle of local self-government. The Withdrawal of the Federal army of oppression now qnartered in the South, and the remission of the scalawag and carpet-bag fraternities to suoh mea? sure of strength as they may possess within themselves, will so far commit the domestic regulation of the South to tho citizens of the South, that those rot? ten hulls now styled State Governments, will at once speedily, utterly, and peace? ably disappear. On their disappearance, and with the erection in their stead of genuine governments, one of tho first questions will bo as to what is to be done in reference to the bonded indebtedness. Some little intimation of the probablo purpose- of the South in this contingen? cy, reaches us to tho effect that a species of scaling procoss will bo adopted; that is, that so much of this indebtedness as shall appear to havo been .00ntraded for bona fide purposes, will be legalized aud added to the genuine debt of tho State at par; so much as shall be proven to have gone to corrupt uses will bo abso? lutely disavowed. Tho application of these principles-principles at once just, equitable, and in the highest sense legal, will make sad work with the hugo bond? ed indebtedness now piling up by those knaves and flickers who assume to be the State authorities of the South. Against suoh a scaling, it will be useless for the holders of carpet-bag bonds to protest. Having trusted on unauthorized agent, knowing- it to bo unauthorized, with what face can any of them combat tho principal's refusal to acknowledge tbe obligation^ eo nomnie, they hold from such agent?-Neva York World. "THK SoUTHEIlN CoilMKBCIAt, CONVEN? TION."-This teat the titlo of the conven? tion that is to have its next meeting ut Louisville, Ky., on the 12th of October. Will it be a Southern convention wbeu it assembles? For two reasons, no. First, the foreign Governors of the Southern States have for the most part appointed aa delegates carpet-baggers aud scala? wags, neither of whom bavo anything Southern about them; and next, dele? gates have boen invited from many, if not all, of tbo Northern States. Now, we are the last to turn our faces against any enterprise that looks to "allaying sectional prejudices," and "harmonizing politicnl antagonism," and "all that sort of tbiug, you know, yon know." But we recur to the question, is this a South? ern commercial convention? And if not, are the labor- question of the Soutb, the Southern Pacific Railroad, or any ques? tion of purely Southern concernment, proper questions to bo submitted to a general national commercial convention, beautifully variegated and Knotted with carpet-bag office thieves, and their mean? er scalawag coadjutors? We do not nt all object to national conventions for national purposes; but the point we make is, if this is to bo n general, universal, oonminicnl national convention, why continue to call it a Southern commercial convention ? If Sumner, and Butler, and Phillips, and "eich like," got in there, and can oontrol the Northern majority, it is qnito certain that tho South will take uotbing from its deliberations.-Mobile Register. During a recent visit to New York President Grant expressed a desire to purchase some cigars, and visited quite a number of establishments for tho pur? pose of testing their brands, ftc. The result was, that; uuktiown to each other, each dealer visited resolved to mako the President a present, and he received not less thou 70,000 prime Havanas. This will keep him in cigars for some time,' as he has never been known to extend his cigar case to a friend or-visitor. . Mr?. Elizabeth Cady Stanton, accord? ing to tho Boston Post, ia a pautaloon atic." THE POPULATION OP TIIE G LOU E. There ar? on .the globo 1,288,000,000 of SOUIB. 360,000,000 ?re of the Cauca? sian rooe; 652,000,000 ate of the Mongol raoe; 190,000,000 are of tho Ethiopian race; 176,000,000 aro of the Malay race; 1,000,000 are of the Indo-American race. There are 3,642 languages spoken, and 1,000 different religions. The yearly mortality of the globe is 33,333,333 per? sons. Tbis is at tho rate of 91,554 per day, 3,730 per hour, 62 per minute. So each pulsation of the heart marks the decease of some human creature. The average of human lifo is 33 years. One fourth of the population dies at or be? fore tbo age of 7 years. One-half nt or before 17 years. Among 10,000 persons | one arrives at the age of 100 years, one in 500 attains tbe age of 90, and one in 100 lives to tho age of 60. Married men live longer than single ones. In 100 per? sons 95 marry, and more marriages occur in Juno and December than in any other months of tho year. ' One-eighth of tho whole population is military. Profes? sions exercise a great influence on longe-1 vity. In 1,000 individuals who arrive at tho age of 70 years, 42 are priests, ora? tors or pnblio speakers, 40 are agricultu? rists, 33 are 'workmen, 32 are soldiers or military employees, 29 advocates or en? gineers, 27 professors, and 24 doctors. Those who elev?te their lives to the pro? longation of that of others die the soon? est. There are 336,000,000 Christians; 5,000,000 Israelites; 60,000.000 Asiatic religionists; 190,000,000 Mohammedans; 300,000,000 Pagans. In the Christian churches 170,000,000 profoss tho Roman Catholio faith, 75,000,000 the Greek, and 80,000,000 the Protestant. Tho latest and. most fantastic sugges? tion in tho way of telegraphy is that of a French enthusiast, who is now being heartily laughed at in Europe for his pains. His proposal is, not to fly to the moon, but to communicate with the planets. He wishes to mount a gigantic mirror, capable of being rendily moved, and to give flashing signals to Jupiter or Venns. His theory is, that if these are repeated regularly at given intervals, aud in an equal number of times, the inha? bitants of tho planets will como to dis? cern them, to understand that they mean something, and to return them. Should they do this, a codo of signals could ma? nifestly, without much difficulty, bode-, vised. Tho proposer of this curious scheme points out that even now bright spots ure occasionally seen ou some of the ! planets, aud suggests that they may pos? sibly be similar signals from tho inhabi? tants of th oso orbs to each other and to us. Tho idea is said to have been dis? cussed before now, and to havo been aban? doned; but, however impracticable or absurd, it has beeu thought worthy of serious attention by the French Academy of Soiences. A GLOOMY VIEW OF LABOB IN CALIFOR? NIA.-A San Francisco letter 6tates that) there aro hundreds of men out of em? ployment in California, and they cannot | get work. Those who do not get work have to carry their beds from placo to! place. When the harvest is dono, there is nothing for the laborer to do until tho rain falls, about the 1st of November. The San Francisco papers publish only the good side of affairs iu California, and 6ay nothing about the bad side. Farm bands cannot average moro than six months' work in a year. California is a| better country for capital than for labor. A farm laborer in California must have] hit? own bed iu every instance, or sleep in tbe hay stack; and if he asks the own? er of a farm wbere bo applies for work, bo is told to buy his own blanket, Aman bas to do his own washing also, or pay from 61.50 to $3 a dozen for washing, and then <ro from ono mile to two to get | it done, except in the city.

R?ese, a leading druggist in Monti? cello, 111., in a letter of June 6,1868, writes to this effect: "Having eold Hostettor'e Bitters for the past four years, I cannot but speak of the article as being the bent tonic and appe? tizer extant. During the aguo season of lbiXMi, I could not koep a sufficient ?tock on hand to supply my customers. In fact, your Bitters waa a's staple as quinine. I learn that physi? cians prescribe it all ovor the WeotOrO conn try. Indeed, a great many families think they are r.ot safe without your invaluable tonic." J. K. Witherspoon, Esq., a magietrato of Kerub nw Conn tv, 8. C., H tat CH, under dato April 18,1868, that ho haa used tbe Bitters constantly in his own family for tho previous two years, ne first tried tho preparation when Buffering from exhaustion produced by a se voro attack of fever. Before tho first bottle waa finished ho experienced a remarkable chango for the hotter. Ho had tried brandy at tho outset, but found that did him moro harm than good. In one month from the time ho commouced using the Bitters his health, strength and appetite were restored. Ho had recommended tho article to others in like cir , cumatancee, and never known it to fail, and had found it a perfect specifio for chilla and fever. Mr. Samuel Young, of Clarion, Pa., under date April G, 1866, certifies that he was com? pletely cured of "one of the most distressing attacks of dyspepsia that over afflicted any mortal," by throe bottles of the Bitters, after "various other remedies had proved power? less." Restored to perfect health, he thanks "that excellent preparation for tho result." Dr. O. M. Spencer, of Brush Creek, Perry County, Ala., writing thonce February 8,1868, says: "I have used your Biomach Bitters for several yoars in my practico, and find them superior to mont of tho Bitters now proscribed by the profession generally."_Oct 116 THU HEALING POOL.-ESSAYS FOB YOUNG MEN, who havo fallen into vicious habits, and now desire a higher life, and a bet? ter Manhood, with certain means of relief for tho afflicted.
