 NEW YORK, Oct 12, 1868. { Hon. Edwards Pierrepont, New York city MY DEAR SIR:-It gives me great pleas ure to know that you fully appreciate the consequences to all business men, indeed, every one having any interest in the. pros perity of our country, that must result from the election of General Grant.
 The question is presented to the people whether they will aid in electing an admin istration, bent upon trampling loyalty into the dust and elevating upon its ruins. q power controlled by rebel chiefs, whose motto will be ''The rebellion vindicated. i" with prostration to every branch of indus try and business at the North; or whether wo should place in the Executive Mansion one emphatically of the people, who has never acted but from just sense of duty to his country, and from whose administration we will have the blessings that can flow from peace in every department of our government, inspiring confidence that cannot but lead us to prosperity and hap piness as nation, and promising for us future unequaled in the history of the past.
 To secure this end I accept your 'gener- ous contribution, and will apply it to such proper uses as may tend to bring about a result so promising with blessings to us all.
 Sincerely your friend,
 ALEX. T. STEWART.

For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
 such as Coughs, Colds, Whooplng
 Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
 and Consumption.
 Probably never before in the whole history of medicine, has anything won so widely ana so dcepy upon the confidence of mankind, as thls excelent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Ihrough long series of years, and among most oi me races or men it has risen higher and higher Tn tncr cstima- ton, as it has become better known. It's uniform character and power to. cure the various directions of the lungs and throat have made 1t known as re- liahie nroiector against them. While adapted to mIder forms of disease and to young children, 1t is at tho same time the most effectua remedy that can be given for ncipient consumption, and the dan- gerous affections of the throat and lungs As pro: Vision against sudden attacks of Group, 1t should be kept on hand ill every family. and indeed as all are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all shouiG be provided with this antidote for them.
 Although settled Consumption Is thought in- curable still great numbers of cases where the dlS- caae seemed settled, hayc been completely cured, and inc patient restored to sound health by the T1be,yy pcctoral. So complete IS its mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that fhc most ob tnatc of them yield to it. When noth- inr else could reach them, under the Cherry Pcc- for0L they subsde and disappear
 iSinge,s and Public Speakers find great pro. lection from it.
 lisfIn.a is always relieved and often wholly cured by it.
 Isyonchttis is generally cured by taking the Chcyry fccforaI in small and frequent doses. So generally are its virtues known that we need not publish the certificates of them hcrc do more than assure the public that its qualities arc fully maintained.

A TAMMANY SACHEM DECLARES
 FOR GRANT.

LETTER FROM JUDGE EDWARDS PIERREPoNT.
 The following correspondence practically illustrates the views of thinking men res pecting the coming election. Judge Pierrepont has always been @ Democrat and is one of the Sachems of Tammany Hall. His defection, therefore, shows in a great degree the extent of feeling adverse to the rebel candidates among the Demo- crats who have not altogether lost their love of country or respect for maintaining it's honor and as natiOn:-
 No. 103 FIFTH AVENUE.
 NEW YORK, Saturday. Oct 10, 1868. To Alec 7. Stepa1T, Esq, Chai,mau of Me Grant COmDaiHe, etc:-
 MY DEAR SIR:-When Frank P. Blair. who had no claim whatever upon the Dem Ocratlc party was nominated in Tammany Hall, with such shouts of applause, just af- ter proclaiming that ''We must have 8 President who will trample into dust' the laws of Congress, and when four rebel gen. erals made the chief ratification speeches in New York, my attention, as war Dem- ocrat, was arrested by this remarkable ex. hibition.
 Since then have carefully noted the expressions of southern journals, and the speeches of southern politicians, from Wade Hampton on his return to Charles ton. to the recent manifesto or B. H. Hill. and find that every leading rebel in the confederacy regards the expected election of Seymour and Blair as a complete vindi- cation of the rebellion, and as certain to restore the South to every right which she had before the war, including the sstramp ling into dust' by military feet the procla- nation of freedom and the fourteeth amendment to the constitution.
 This contest presents we'll defined issue between the friends and the enemies of our government.
 cannot conceive how any intelligent, man, who does not wish the rebels return ed to power, the nations faith violated, the debt repudiated, its name dishonored, it's prosperity destroyed, its patriots insulted and the Host cause," restored, can vote against Grant
 In my judgment, the election of Sey- mour and Blair would forthwith confuse paralyze our business, and reduce the val ue of our property one-half.
 To aid in averting this calamity, I send you herewith $20, 900, which I give to be used in the election of General Grant in such manner as you and the committees with whom you act may think best.
 And remain yours, very truly,
 EDWARDS PIERREPoNT.

Fatal Stabbing ARRAY at Des
Moines.

About IL o'clock last night while
. lot Of convivialists were having a
high old drunk at Gottsehalk's Sa-
loon, near the corner of Court Ave
nue. and Third Streets, general row
rsause now unknown-sprung up.
The room was full of men under the
influence of liquor. As soon as the
row began, some one Immediately
.extinguished the gas, when general
stabbing affray ensued. Those worst
hurt were VIM. Christ and Frank
Rudge, both stabbed in the breast
and stomach, the former having "a
tai blow in the region Of the heart.
When we visited the scene last
night abont IL O'Clock, the wounded
men were stretched out on top of
the marble beer tables, while Drs.
Grimes and Thompson with half
dozen assistants were busily engaged
in endeavoring to stay the blood
from the half dozen gaping wounds
of the two unfortunate men. Chris.
was the most badly hurt, having sew
eral wounds, and it was thought he
could not possibly live till morning.
Ridge is badly cut up, has several
ugly, severe wounds, but none OF
them dangerous. Both of them are
residents of Des Moines.
Two men were placed under ar
rest, on suspicion Of being the guilty
parties-Mart McHenry and Mike
Mcdonnell.
The fight was purely a family
quarrel among the too-happy Democ-
racy-all the stabbers and the stab
bed being of that tipsey faith.

SENATOR WADE's TERM.
Of our readers have inquired when
Senator Wadc's term expires, being
under the impression that he went
out on the 4th of March past. Such,
however, 10 not the case, as his term
does not expire till the 4th Of March,
1869. The erroneous impression
arises from the fact that Mr. Wades
successor has already been elected by
tho Ohio Legislature. This il ac-
counted for by the fact that the legis-
lature meets biennially, and hence
will hold no session next year. Thus
it will be seen that if Mr. Wade be
comes President, he will hold the Of
fee till the inauguration OF Ulysses
S. Grant, ''or any other man."
