ready been stated, during the past week.
t.at the President has had an audience
with prominent gentlemen from all sec
tions, in relation to the present condition
OF political affairs. Chief Justice Chase.
Gen. Grant and Mai ajor-Generals Sickles and
Dix, among others, have freely given their
vcws-all of them being actuated by Il sin
cere desire for such action as may be best
calculated to fully restore the relations O!
the Southern States to the General Go
vernmcnt The idea seems to be, that so
long as the executive and legislative de-
partmentS arc divided in opinion, the South
must remain unreprcsented in Congress:
hence the effort is to effect some arrange
mont to accommodate the differences be
tween them. According to current repre-
sentatlons, the President lends !: willing
ear to all suggestions in that direction,
but, so far, nothing definite has been con-
summated.
The Department of State has been in
formed that the quarantine regulations of
Havana have been further modified: so
that vessels leaving all ports of the United
States, except from Philadelphia and New
Orleans, for ports in that island, with clean
bills of health, shall be permitted to enter
at once, and discharge their passengers
and cargoes. All vessels from Philadelphia
and New Orleans are to be ouarantiucd
for three days, for observation.

CONNECTION BETWEEN CHICAGO \ THE
EAsT.-The Cincinnati GGzettesays that the
Atlantic & Great Western Railroad Com
pany have obtained control of the Chicago
and Great Eastern Railroad, from Chicago
to Richmond, Ind. From the latter place
to Dayton it will open a line, which will
give a direct route to Chicago for Eastern
the Little Miami, with its principal eastern
ally, the Pennsylvania Central, would have
the control of this route, but that combina-
ton is J looking in another direction for a
Northwestern connection. 1t is known that
the Dayton & Hamilton Road, from Rich
mOnd, Ind, TO Hamilton, O., is now con-
trolled by the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day
ton Company, and over this a large portion
Of the Chicago business viii be done. We
need hardly remark that the \. d G. W.
and c. Il. q D. Companies work together.
and for all business purposes, are virtually
one. While, therefore, one arm of the Chi
cago line, strikes the Atlantic and Great
Western at Dayton, another connects at
Hamilton. Near Carthage an arrangement
has been made for a close connection be-
tween the Cincinnati, Hamilton 4 Dayton
and the Marietta. The object of this is to
transfer Baltimore freight to the Marietta
road. Thus it is seen there is a sharp com
petition between the Atlantic Il Great Wes-
tern and Pittsburgh, Fort Wayne & Chicago
roads for Eastern business, of which the
latter has heretofore had a verylarge share,
and almost e monopoly of that destined for
Baltimore.

DIS. RUNTER 4 RAMSAY.

In another column of to-day's issue, will
be found a notice to the effect that Drs.
Hunter * Ramsay have removed their office
from Euclid place to No. 25 Wackerlin's
Block, south west corner of Monument
Square. These physicians have thus as it
were, identified their interests with ours,
and shown to the public that they intend to
permanently settle in our midst. We con-
fess for our own part that We feel somewhat
pleased that such IS the case. These gen.
tlemen, it is very generally admitted, have
acquired & greater amount of practical ex-
perience, in the treatment Of Throat and
Lung diseases, than probably any other two
medical men on this continent, and their
success mas been SO marked that the New
York Herald proved by the Inspectors Re
port Of that city, that during the enormous
rush Of business that they had for several
years, the decrease in the mortality of con-
sumpuive persons JcqS Oucr thirty per cest.
per auuum. DR.. Robert Hunter in one of
his letters says, 81 anuot mention a more
significant fact, than that by the mortality
lists Of the City of New York. there has
been u decrease of nearly thirty-ive per
cent. being IA salvation of more than one
thousand ircS q y5qr.' Now. all must ad-
init, that physicians who day after day
examine many cases of one particular
class OF diseases, and whose every day prac-
tIce consists in watching the action, or
more 70 'hnIcally speaking, the thera-prac-
teal effects Of remedies on certain mala-
dies, must acquire a vast amount of practi-
cal knowledge that the general practitioners
can never hope 10 acquire. Far be it from
US 10 dIsparage the noble profession of med
Iciue. or 10 cast a slur on the band of earn
est and oit-times self-deHyilg men who
practice the healing art. But We claim this
Tor Drs. Hunter d Bamsay-that having for
so many years made these diseases a special
study, and having had thousands Of cases
under their observation, they are better
qualified 10 treat them than the general run
of their c~ouferes who deal with all classes
of disease.
In Great Britain, France, Germany, and
other European countries, the medical
profession is fast being divided into speci-
altieS. Thus: one class of doctors take the
eye and ear; others the skin, disorders of
he brain. and joints others the lungs.
Patients N those countries, afflicted with
disorders OF any particular organ, or mem
Der, invariably seek out the physician who
has specially considered and treated the
particular class Of disease with which they
may be affected. 1t is but carrying out this
well established principle Of medicine,
which has induced Drs. Hunter & Ramsay
70 study the lungs and throat. and to adopt
the most modern, most scientific and prac-
tical means of cure. We hope, in conclu-
sion, that those sufferers who consult these
gentlemen, will, by strict attention to the
methods Of cure laid down, speedily find
themselves on the high road to restored
health and physical strength.

1t seems to be quite generally believed in
Wall street that Stevens substitute for the
Loan bill, which deprives the Secretary Of
the Treasury of power to contract under 1t,
will meet the approval and adoption of Con
gress, and the impression gains that that
body will ]disaPprove all measures looking
to a reduction of the circulating medium.
The Evening Post says this is interpreted
to be favorable to higher prices, and is al
ready producing its effects in stimulating
speculation.
In local trade circles business to-day was
rather dull. The improvement in trade and
prices in New York has no ~perceptibIe effect
here, and until navigation opens no consid-
cradle operations are looked for. There
were no considerable transactions in Flour
and Grain today, and nothing beyond the
local and neighborhood demand. Prices
are quota5ly unchanged. Provisions are
steady and hrm, with a fair trade demand.
Butter, Cheese and Eggs continue in good
demand, and prices are steady and firm
The stock Of Highvines is exhausted, and
the market is nominal. Petroleum contin-
ues dull, and prices are lower.
