A DANGEROUS SEASON.-Analmost
unparalleled quantity OF rain has fallen
during the summer. Vegetation has been
wonderfully thick and rank, and, as it de-
Gays, an unusual amount of sickness NAV
be expected unless proper means are taken
to prevent it. .t -.
Fever and aguo and bilious remittents
already prevail to an alarming extent, and
as the fall advances, and the malariots
night fogs become HEAVIER, the sick list is
likely to increase, both in the city and the
country. 1t is, therefore, only an act of
common prudence to keep the vital forces
in full vigor, 80 that they may resist the
unhealthy influences of the season. Re-
inforced by the tonic operation of
H0STETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS.
The system, however weak and suscepti-
BILE, naturally will, in nino cases out of ten,
successfully combat every species of at
mospheric poison by which epidemics are
produced.
During the months of September. Oc-
tober and November, the differt nee in
temperature between day and night is
very great, and the chilling dews and mists
OF the season are tho prolific causes of in
digestion, cholera morbus, diarrh9a and
dysontery. Bearing this in mind, remem-
ber, also, that the BITTERS not only in
vigorate the stomach and brace the nerves,
but act specifically upon the bowels and
the liver, imparting to those important
organs regularity and tone. It Is not rea
sonsble to expect immunity from preva-
lent complaints if no precautions are taken
to escape them. &. -A4sf +irt- ''rh

pleasant to the taste, and the most certain

The CABINET. The Washington

The CABINET. The Washington
Chronicle says: 's
There is good authority for the
statement that President johnson an
nounced his determination to make q
sweeping change in his Cabinet yes
terday. His remarks on this subject
referred particularly to Secretary
McCnlloch, whose portfolio, it is un-
derstood, will be rendered to Hon.
Erastus Corning, of New York. This
change will, of course, compel the
retirement of Secretary Seward, for
whose position there are thousand
and one applicants, Jere. Black and
ex-senator Cowan, of Pennsylvania,
being in the lead. The name of
Reverdy Johnson has also been men
toned. 1t is undoubtedly the inten-
tion of the Administration to reward
the Pennsylvania Democracy, and he
cannot do it in more satisfactory
manner to them than by placing one
of the two first mentioned gentle
men in his Cabinet. Secretary Stan
tons removal leaves q vacancy, which
Pennsylvania will claim, and the re-
suit of the election will undoubtedly
be accepted as an endorsement of
that claim. The conservatives Of the
West are urging Gen. Frank Blair, of
Missouri, and Gen. Tom. Ewing, Sr. =,
of Ohio, for the War Office, or ex-
Indian Commissioner Bogy for the
Interior Department, with some
chance Of success for one of their
candidates, but which one it is not
safe to predict. 1t is known that the
New York Democracy, combined with
the Jere. Black clique, arranged a
programme some time since, to
which the President partially agreed,
of n disruption Of the Cabinet after
the November elections, which will
now be carried out sooner than was
anticipated, as they think there is nc
longer any necessity for further delay.
Aside from this fact, and the an
nouncement made by the President
above mentioned, nothing regarding
Cabinet affairs can be asserted posi-
lively.

A. certain Judge, who was notorious
for carrying the precise and formal
habits of the, bench into private life,
was one day entertaining some friends
at his table, and asked magistrate,
who was present, if he would take
some venison. ''I thank you, my
lord, was the reply, "I am going to
take some boiled chicken" "That,
sir" testify answered the Judge, "is
no answer to my qustion. L ask you
again if you will take some venison,
sir, and I will trouble you to say yes
or no, without further prevaricntion. ="

The New York World SAYS:

Let the news which we print this
morning be the signal for rejoicing
all over the country, and let it inspire
all true men everywhere with fresh
confidence in the sober, second
thought Of the American people,
which, thanks to an overruling Pro-
violence, never yet has failed to re.
sumo its sway over temporary pas
sions, however strong they may have
been. .-.-,..,-. -.
The clouds were rifted last spring
when radicalism was beaten in Con
necticut. The heavens grew brighter
when We heard of the Democratic
victory in California, and now the
sky, is clear. Patriots everywhere
thank God and take courage.
The New York Herald, in it's com
ments, says:
Unequivocal protest against the
continued rule of the radical party
anywhere, or for any purpose, seems
to be the substance of the decision
given az The poiis yesterday in Penn
sylvania and Ohio. In Ohio, the
great Republican party is, like Dog
berry, zone that hath had losses, 81
and heavy losses, too; while the
chosen measure of the radicals the
amendment to the State Constitu-
tion giving suffrage to the negroes
is certainly lost Ohio will have no
more of the party that impudently
raises its nigger supremacy policy to
the dignity of the "main question. 81
Such IS the clear declaration Of hel
people. The defeat of the Republic
can candidate for Governor of Ohio
a sound Union soldier, whose war
record was ~elied upon to rally all the
strength o. his party-shows how
complete is the change of popular
sentiment, and gives the strongest
expression to the purpose of the
people to withdraw their support
from the political organization that
has abused such grand opportunities.
Ohio declares against giving the suf
frage to niggers, and if this cardinal
point of radical policy could have
been carried anywhere, it was in that
State. This result, therefore, shows
how just we're the fears of our own
radicals in keeping this pet measure
out of the reach of the people, by
Burking the Constitution formed by
the radical convention.
Philadelphia is completely swept
by the elements adverse to the radi.
Gals, and the result throughout the
State of Pennsylvania shows rs clear
g rising of the people against party
and radicalism as the result in Ohio

From an elaborate article on "Rail-
roads and Locomotives-their Origin
and History" published in the Ma.
tiona! Inselhgehcer, of Thursday last,
we make the following extracts in
reference to railroads in this State:
The first locomotive railway, or. in
other words, the first railroad, either
in this OF any other country, con-
structed specifically and exclusively
for the use of locomotives as motive
power, was road to connect Charles
ton, s. O., with the Savannah River.
Six miles of this road was finished in
1929. 1t was built on piles, often
very high above the ground. and this
fact is conclusive that horses were
not intended for the motive power.
Their engineer was Horatio Allen,
who had been also the engineer of
the Delaware and Hudson Road in
1927, and who was sent abroad in the
autumn of that year by the Delaware
aud Hudson Company, to purchase
railroad iron and three locomotives.
The first steam propelled cars,
running regularly with passengers
and freight, appear, so far as our
researches inform us, to have been
on the Charleston and Hamburg
Road, or, as it is now known, "The
Sonth Carolina Railroad" connect
ing Charleston and Augusta, Ga, the
latter town being on the opposite
side OF the Savannah River from
Hamburg.
The first American steam locomo-
tive was put into use on the road of
which we have spoken, running from
Charleston, S. g., to Hamburg, on
the Savannah River, late in the sum-
mer of 1880. The engine was built
by the Kembles, at their shop in
West street, in New York, from u
plan made by e. L. Miller, then q
resident of Charleston. 1t was u
small four-wheeled engine, with up
right boiler, and water flues close Mt
the bottom, with the flames circulat-
ing around them. It was called
''Best Friend" and worked success
fully about two years, Gays the au-
thority already mentioned, when it
exploded, and was rebuilt with q fue
boiler. Upon this road, in 1881, the
great American improvement of two
four-wheeled trucks for locomotives
and long passenger cars was first
introduced. They were planned by
Horatio Allen, who had become the
engineer of this road. This system
of doubles truck running gear, in
Guiding the application of the pedes-
tails to the springs, have, with no
essential change, ever since. been
universally adopted in this country.
The Charleston and Hamburg Com
pany offered premium of $500. for
the best plan of horse locomotive,
and the award was given to 9. e.
Detmold, afterwards OF New York,
who constructed machine to carry
twelve passengers Mt the rate OF
twelve miles an hour, the horse work
ing on an endless chain.
