One Of the Most Prevalent, and at the

attend the human flesh, is tho Fever and Agus.
For long time the medical world have been con-
tinually bringing forth numerous specifics for ito
permanent cure but all without effect. Dr.J.
Hostetter, an experienced and celebrated physic-
ian, has succeeded in furnishing the public with
valuable preparation for the cure Of Fever and
Ague. The steady and increasing demand lately
made for the "Btters," and the universal success
attending its use, have made for it reputation
unsurpassed by any specific Of tho kind. For the
cure Of the Fever and Ague, DR.. Hostetter csle-
brated Stomach Bitters must and should claim a
superiority over any other preparation cxtant.

MANUFACTURES OF RAILS IN TORONTO.
"A building covering $4,000 square
feet has been erected at Toronto, for the
manufacture of railway rails. Forty
tons of rails, it is calculated, will be
turned out in each. Six thousand tons
of coal are lying ready for use; one ton
will be required for each ton of iron re-
manufactured. About two hundred men
it is calculated will be employed. 1t is
hoped to commence work in about a
fortnight.

A Woman Dead.

A woman died on the West Side, a
day or two since, under circumstances
which provoked an Inquiry, by the Cor
oner, into the cause of her death. 1t
was proved that to her own efforts to
procure an abortion by medicinal and
mechanical agencies, her sudden taking
off was to be attributed. A physician
in large practice, at this moment sitting
at our elbow, says that within year he
has seen or heard Of at least nine cases
somewhat similar, and though most of
the sufferers have escaped the last con-
sequence of theira rashness aud folly,
their penalties have in every instance
been SO serious that death would have
been a welcome relief. 1t is a delicate
subject upon which to utter a word of
caution but the alarming frequency of
tie attempts to avoid by crime the
charges and care Of family, impel us to
cry out against that ignorance which
wantonly hampers with health and life,
and that moral obtuseness which sees
anything less than manslaughtsr in the
act by which that unfortunate offender
on the West Side was brought to an un-
timely end. 1t is emphatically the crime
of civilization and if the testimony of
medical gentlemen is to be received, Its
prevalence in this city is alarming, and
its consequences are such, that if aggre-
gated and presented at one view to
those who are tempted to commit it,they
would be dumb with fear. Unfortu-
nately it is not limited to a class. The
well-to-do resort to it, impelled by the
attractions of society and fashion, as fire..
quently as the poor who see in it the
only escape from the care Of larger fam
lilies, for which they are unable to pro.
vide. The danger and guilt are shared
by all classes alike; and these are so
great that they furnish Us with the justi-
fication for this brief reference to SUBJ
ject usually tabooed by the newspaper
press. If the fate of her whose death
we chronicle, serves to deter any of her
sex from the repetition of her folly, we
shall not have seemed to be indicate in
VAMPIRES and Tribune.

MINORITY REPORT ON THE PROTEST.
ING MEssAGE.-Hon. Miles Taylor, a
member of the Committee on the Judi
ciary, to which was referred some days
since the Protesting Message Of Buchan-
an, has made an able minority report
supporting the Presidents Protest, the
substance Of which is
He denies that the House has unlim-
tied power to initiate aud carry out any
investigation Of any kind according to
its mere will and pleasure. If SO, he
says, this would not be consistent with
the great principles OF law, everywhere
recognized where the rights of indi-
viduals are concerned, and, as a conse.
quence, the adoption Of the resolution
in relation to the President was in viola.
ton Of this great principle Of law. He
referred to the powers of the Committee
as extraordinary and inquisitorial, when
not a particle of evidence against the
President had been placed before the
House. In conclusion, he says that the
positions taken by the President are
right, and the protest made by him has
solid foundation in the provisions Of
the Constitution and those great princi-
pies which underlie every system of law
established for the administration OF
justice.

The CEREMONY OF ExcoMMUNlcArIoN.
"A correspondent Of the Independence
Beige gives the following account of the
ceremony that would be performed at
the then expected PRONUNCIATION of the
Pope's accommodation Of Victor
Emanuel, King Of Sardinia. As recent
advices state that the bull had been is
sued, no doubt but the ceremony has
taken place
The ceremony will take place at St.
Peters Church, with great pomp. All
the Cardinals will be present; the whole
church will be hung with black; the
cruci6x will be yelled; and torches Of
yellow wax will be lighted and extin-
guished, one after the other. There
will be a grand procession of all the
monastic orders to Rome, who will az
forwards depart for their monasteries
and converts, chanting the "Miserere'
as they pass throug ii the city. The per-
son who gives me this information does
not think the sentence of excommuni.
cation will be pronounced by the Pope
himself, but by Cardinal selected for
that purpose.

TUESDAY MORNING. APRIL " isee


One week from to-day the Democrat
ic delegates from the different States
from every State in the Union, meet OF
-Chsrlestou. Soon thereafter j. will be
known who the candidate for the Prcsi-
dency will be. As the important day
approaches we can plainly discover that
the lesser lights which have aspired to
the honor Of being brought before that
Convention, are growing more din
every day, and by the time the COnvsn-
ton goes into session will have entirely
flickcred out in the socket. The NOM
ioec at Charleston must be no third rate
man the tool of no clique, but one who
scars above all factional or sectional
feelings and prejudices, he must be =
man Of the nation>-a friend of the North
the South, tho East and the West. The
Of tho Democracy
ia Convention assembled, will, we
think, take a broad national view Of
what the country needs, and will pro-
vide candidate in whom the entire peo-
pie have the most implicit confidence,
and one that will labor with Democratic
earnestness for the welfare Of our entire
country. Such man is John C. Brock
inridge. He is the man towards whom
the eyes of three-fourths Of the Democ-
racy of the Union arc turned. We be-
lieve he will be the nominee.

THs SHoEMAKERs' SrRIKE.-The shoe
makers strike is nearly done. In DAN
vers, Grovelane and Waltham, it has
been entirely abandoned. Of the one
thousand workers in Marblchead, three
quarters are at work at prices somewhat
higher than before the strike. In Lynn,
a considerable part CT the strikers have
resumed operations. Those who hold
out had meeting on Thursday evening,
which was addressed by Mr.. Dillon,
President of the Association, and by
Mr.. Draper, who has returned from the
South. The Association resolved not to
yield. The shoemakers of Danvers have
voted to discontinue the strike. The
Groveland strikers have followed the
example Of their Haverhill brethren.

Under Ne above heading, the Mil

Wh1lever else my bclaid Of the re-
suit of the late Judicial election in this
State, no one will have the hardlhood to
dcny that the Republicans were de-
feated. 1t is easy 10 sccount for the re-
suit, bnt not SO easy to show it might
have been avoided. Dixon would not
accept a nomination at their hands. If
he could have been prevailed upon to
take it. and majority Of the conven-
ton had conferred it upon him, he would
have been elected, because the Demo-
crat. would have supported him as cor
daily with, as without, such nomina
ton. We we're pleased with his con-
duet on the bench, and would have at
tested our appreciation Of his integrity,
ability and frmness, by giving him our
support, no matter in what manner his
name was presented. That would have
secured his election but it would not
secured him the votes Of the Republican
party. Threc.fourths of that party
would have boIted his nomination, be-
cause that proportion Of the party, at a
very moderate estimate, believe in multi
fication.
We do not believe that it was posi-
BILE for the Republican party to nomi-
nate candidate that could be elected.
One year ago it was easy to elect an nj
ira Abolitionist. Not SO now. People
are becoming tired Of fanatcism. The
Kansas excitement has subsidized. Booth

ricd the Joke little too far and on ev-
cry hand we witness the indications Of
weakness and decay in the Republican
party. 10 no party that ever existed In
this country will the saying, "rotten be-
fore it is ripe" apply more justly than
to the Republican party. But tho De-
mocracy, if wise, will take advantage OF
the state of things. In this State, we
have acted wisely. The result proves it..
THE CARsTANG AND SHAW CASE
We understand that the plaintiffs coun-
sci yesterday filed affidavits in support
of the motion for new trial, and the
argument on the motion will probably
take place to-day. One of the grounds
of the motion is misconduct on the
part Of the jury-the affidavits charging
that the case was talked about outside
of the court room between the jurors
and others. 1t is stated that the argu-
ments of counsel will embrace almost
every point in the case that the Court
will allow; and if this is met in the
copious manner on the other side, it will
form another interesting chapter in the
case. No notice has yet been taken Of
the cost. of either side. As it is gene
rally assumed that Miss Carstang is in
solvent, the probability is that the
Clerks fees, if no new trial is granted,
will be lost excepting those incurred by
defendant, tor which he is responsible in
case of the insolvency Of plaintiff. The
law compels the party seeking new
trial to give security for the costs if the
motion is granted, and in Miss Carstang's
pecuniary condition this will not be >
very easy matter.-Missouri Democrat,

A mathematical collier has calculated
that if the coal produced in year IN
Great Britain were excavated from pit
gallery .ixty feet high and twelve feet
wide, such gallery must be i've thou
sand one hundred and twenty-eight
miles and nincety yards in length. Or
Il. instead of this tunnel of more than
five thousand miles, we prefer the con-
ccp,ion Of a solid globe, then the diam
eteri of a globe containing the annual
produce must be one thousand five hun
dred and forty-nine feet. The heap'would
constitute pyramid, the square base OF
which would extend forty acres, and the
height of which would be three thou
sand three hundred and fifty-six feet.
The production Of coal in the United
States last year was about nine million
tons, and it only dates back to 1920,
when one ton a.day for each day in the
year was the whole amount mined.
Coal was used TO some extent in
England in the twelfth century, but it is
little more than two hundred years since
it came into general use as fuel in
London.
