FROM CHICAGO.
VaIIandIGbam's senatorial Preten
siOns Examined.
HIS Claim as IA Martyr Contemptu-
OusIS Rejected.


CHICAGO, Oct. 22.-The Chicago Times
has leading editorial on VsllHndig-
HAIRS candidacy for the Omitted States
Senatorship. in which it says:
We are free to confess that We do
not think the election of Mr.. Vallan-
digham would be political choice.
Not that we esteem the popular preju-
dice which has been excited against
him to be just, but that such prejudice
existing, his election would, to some
extent, certainly affect the minds and
action Of men who, from having hith-
erto voted with the Republican
party on questions connected with
the war, are gravitating toward fell
lOwship with the Democratic party
on questions connected with peace.
This is a consideration which, though
Mr.. Yallandigham's claims for the
SenatoIship We're hundred times
greater than they are, should not be
lightly treated. 1.-THE Democratic par
ty shall triumph in the nation. it must
be by accessions of voters who have not
OF late acted with it; and surely no one
will say that policy is sound which
would put distractions i'll the way of
such accessions.
"But MIR. Vallandigham has no
claims for the Senatorship superior to
those of numerous other Democrats in
Ohio. 1t will not do to say that his
law gives him superior claims, for the
fact is that he failed TO vindicats the law
in his own person. When the way was
open TO him to indicate 1t, his martyr
dom was accepted by himself. 1t was
voluntary on his part, not enforced
from Washington. He quietly yielded
to violated law, when he should, by the
use of every means in his power, have
asserted the supremacy of the law.
When he tarried for months in Canada,
instead of exerting his right to live in
his own country, hts martyrdom ceased
by his own act. Had he exerted his right
and thereby suffered it would have been
the duty of the Democratic party, as
one of the first acts of its return to pow
er, to vindicate the right and repair the
wrong which he had suffered, IN n most
signal and emphatic manner. He did
not exert it, ind the Democratic party
owes him nothing on the score OF TepH-
ration of his wrongs.
"Mr. Vallandigham should himself
see the situation as 1t is. His tune is
not yet. 1t will probably come. Let
him wait until he shall be called. The
Democracy will let him know at the
very first moment when it shall want
him"

NEW YoRR, Oct. 23.-The Herald's

night than st any time during the cam.
paigD. Senatorial ) and Represen.
tatiVe cauCuses have been held all over
the State since the beginning of the
week, and in spite of respondent an
hcipalions the license law men have
thus far gained the power, Both the
prohibiuontsts and the advocates oil
license are working sharply, expanding
money freely and giving an air OF
excitement to the canvass. Both par
ties are loud in Boosting of their gains.
The favorites OF prohibition, as well as
those of license are confident OF con-
trolling both the House aud Senate.
The Herald's New Haven special
says: We understand that the increase
ofthe typhoid fever in New Haven has
caused the faculty of Yale Collgs TO Sc
riously consider the expediency of tenn
porarily suspendiDg the College exer-
cises, and for short time Diminishing
the students, A death occurred last
week in the Junior class, and several
other cases are reported as very serious.
Many members of this class have left
for their homes with supposed symp-
toms of the fever, and there is u great
deal of sickness throughout the other
classes.
The Times special says, the October
quarterly statements OF all the New
York city banks have been received by
the Comptroller OF the Currency, and
their consolidated returns show the az
gregate of circulation and deposits to be
about one hundred and ninety mil
lions, Tor which a reserve of forty seven

The Worlds special says: Prominent
Georgians represent to the President
and General Grant that General Pope
has so arranged matters in that State
as to give the coming election TO the
negroes and radicals. They asked the
Interference of both the President and
General Grant, who replied that they
had no power to interfere.
The Tribune's special says: Com
plant is made to the Administration
that Minister Adams has neglected to
urge the British Government for the
release of John Maggie and ]. Warren,
held as Fenians without charge or trial,
in prison in England. From official
sources it is learned that Sir Frederick
Bruce, Just prior to his death, upon a
suggestion from the President and Sec
reIary McCullOcb, recommended the
release of these two men, and our Gov
ernment has appealed to the British
authorities for the immediate consider
alton of all cases of the arrest of Fee
mans who claim to be citizens of this
country, and for the discharge at once
of all against whom no valid charge OF
violation of law can be established.

Sleeping rooms, which should be in
the upper stories of the house, should be
thoroughly ventilated. A full sized
man takes into his lungs at each breath
about pint of air; while in there all the
life nutriment is extracted from it, and
on its being sent out of the body it is so
entirely destitute of life giving power
that II rebreathed into the lungs again,
without the admixture ofany pure air,
the individual would suffocaIe, would
die in sixty seconds. As man breathes
about eighteen times in minute, and n
piHt at one breath, he consumes over
two hogsheads of air every hour, or
about sixteen hogsheads during eight
hours ofslesp; that is, If man were put
in II room which would hold sixteen
hoRsheads Of air, he would, during
eight hours sleep, extract from il every
atom of life nutriment. aud would die
at the end of eight hours, even IL each
breath could be kept to itself, provided
no air came into the room from with
out.
One of the best ways to admit air into
rooms is to drop one or more windows
from the top. When they are not hung
on pullies and weights, this can be
done by cutting of a few inches of the
strips which support the upper sash.
Preserve the piece so cut of, and
when il il desirable to close the windows
adjust them to their places.
Farmers should not forget that all
breathing ADMINISTRATIVE pure air ns
much as nutritious food; and one who
would preserve them in health should
see that his stables and henhOuses
are well ventilated and carefully
cleaned,
