ADULTERArED LIaUoRs.-Dr. Hiram Cox,
appointed, under the law of Ohio, Chemical
Inspector Of liquors in Cincinnati, has pub
lished facts that should be engraved around
The rim OF every drinking glass. He states
that during Two years he has made 249 in.
speclions of various kinds Of Liquors, and
has found more than line-,enlhs OF them i'm.
ilalions, and greater portion of them pois-
onous connections. OF brandy he has no,
found one gallon of pure in a hundred gall
Ions, but limitations having corn Uhsksy for
basis, and various poisonous acids for the
condiments. OF wines, not gallon ia a
thousand purporiins to be Sherry, Port, Sweet
Malaga, is pure, but they are made oil water,
sulphuric acid, alum, Guinea pepper, horse
raddish, and many of them without a single
drop of alcoholic spirit. Dr.. Cox warrants
there are not ten gallons Of genuine Per,
wine in Cincinnati. He also s,ales that in
his inspections OF whiskey he has found
only from seventeen TO twenty per cent. of
alcoholic spirit, when j. should have been
forty-ive 10 fifty, and some Of it contains
suIphuhc acid enough in a quart 10 eai
hole through a mans stomach.

New York Hose Market,

The market still continues in dull state
that is, horses sell lowly, though at prices
somewhat higher Than they were year ago;
but this because drovers have been obliged
TO pay higher in The county, and could not
aford 10 sell them except al higher prices
TO get which they have sometimes held on
until, as the old saying is, the horse eats his
own head of. Horse keeping is necessarily
high, and loose hay sells for 81 and 81 06 per
cwl., and oats at 65 cents per bushel. The
opinion Of some of the best informed and ex-
perienced men in The market is thai the num-
Der Of horses sold, and that will be sold, this
spring will no, much, if any, exceed Que
half the number usually sold in the city in
corresponding periods of fprevious years. The
largest number now selling are for the use of
city stages and railroads, and these rarely ex-
ceed $3.50 each. There is a great deal of
city work in progress, bu. the demand for
ordinary work horses is "nolhing 10 brsg on"
and the demand for fancy horses is decidedly
fiat. The grand difficulty appears 10 be thai
owners hold their stock higher than buyers
are willing to pay. Those who need horses
for work must buy, but those who generally
buy the high h-prced horses are in no hurry
To-day, or Tomorrow, or next week will DO,
and finally, if they do meet with animals 10
sui, their fancy and prices 10 quit their purse,
they don't buy at all. The truth is, there is
not margin enough between The present
country and city prices 10 afford dealers a
fair chance ior-jockeying with customers, and
some Of them won't buy without, and conse-
quenlly sales are hard 10 effect.

KANSAS.

The country at large have been advised through
the mails and by telegraph of studied determination
on the par. of those deluded citizens of Kansas who
still madly cling to the soca!led Topeka constitution
to take no part in the pending election contest 10 thai
Territory. Friends of law and order, men who are
actuated by the purest and most patriotic motives
having in vain urged them to vote for delegates to
convention to frame State constitution, there is
thing left but to express regret for their folly and tC
leave them to the consequences which are likely tc
follow their miscnevous, if not dangerous obstnacy
The position Of the Democratic party, and, it ID
scarcely necessary to add, the position of the admin
istration in regard to existing difficulties in Kansas
cannot be misunderstood 1t s that the people Of the
Territory have the right to settle the character of their
institutions If considerable or inconsiderabe por-
ton Of their number conceive that they can impair
and ultimately destroy that right by creating diffcul.
elections, they labor under error of which they
cannot be too soon dissbused for the Democratic,
conservative portion of the country will regard as
the people of Kansas only such as are now uniting to
frame form of government in accordance with the
provisions of law, and not those who are seekingto
parsyzs the popular will by illegal subterfuges and
the quibbles Of fanatcism.
Whatever the constitution may be-whether re-
cognising excluding slavery, or sent in regard to
the insttution-t will be viewed rs the expression
of the will of the people Of Kansas, as those who
frame it will act under the federal constitution, and
in a manner recognised by the organic law.
The administration, We are quite sure, stands on
the doctrine of ncnintervention, in the strictest
sense of the term, and will insist to the extent of its
constitutional power that the people of that Territory
shall manage their own affairs in their own way

TILE ELECTIONS IN AUGUST.

The nolit;cal complexion OF the next House Ol Rep.
rssentatives is not yet desnitivey determined. Vr-
ginia has elected an undivided delegation, thereby
giving gain of one to the Democracy. But there
are several more to be secured yet in order to render
II certain that the administration will be sustained by
majority in the Lower House Of the next Congress.
In August elections are to be held in severs South
ern States, North Carolina Alabama, Arkansas. &c.'
the results of which will decide the question: Nh'e
wa have little doubt that the Democratic party Will
continue TO gather strength in the South STILL for the
s,ks of the Union, and the glorious success which is
promised the Administration, we feel q lively
interest in the August elections, lest by some
mishsp, We may lose where we expect to gain. Inc
usxt Congress will be highly important in its deliber-
ations and acts, sven according to the indices Of
events which are already before u.s. And That other
ouestiops of momentous and delicate character will
arise between now and the close OF Its session. needs
no seer 10 say. The Administration is charged with
vsiehty trusts the nation expects much OF 1t; and
wa have every assurance that will prove fully equal
p, s RESPONSIBILITIES unless it is embarrassed and an
noyed by opposition majority IN ths House OIL hsp

The influence of the late election in Virginia
will have a salutary effect upon those 20 take

achieved by the man Of gigantic genius who is now
our governor, efectually broke up all formidable or
aauized opposition to the Democracy in the South,
and prepared our people for united action against the
fsnstics of the North. This was evidenced in the
result of the Presidential election. And we trust to

TIE CLAYroN.BULwER TREATY.

"Iop," the Washington correspondent of the Bal.
timore Sun, in letter dated Tuesday last, says:
THE article concerning Central American affairs,
in the London Morning Post, the reputed organ Of
Lord Pamerston. is the more entitled to be consi-
dereG as official for the that it has heretofore in
regard to the same questions, proved to be an unsr
ring index of the feeling of the ministry. We learn
that the British government are quite a. willing as
We are to drop the Clayton Bulwer treaty. 1t is not
all improbable that it will be abrogated by mutual
consent Of parties ltrequres on our part, an act OF
Congress which will probably be recommended when
Congress meets.
From the Post we learn three things, which it was
interesting to know; lst, that the British government
will not submit to the Monroe doctrine in regard TO
North America, half of which is British; ID, that
that they will not be excluded from right Of transit
across the sthmean regiun; and 3d, that they will
ose no opportunity to restrict the extension Of Afri-
can slavery by the United States into other American
States. Two years of diplomacy would not better
enlighten US ON these questions than We have been
by the timely article OF the Post.
