e. As far as heard from, the gal
liant old keystone State of Penn
sylvania has gone Republican by
at least 10000 majority! In
majority. of the counties heard
from, large Republican gains are
reported. - -
Vallandigham is defeated. Re-
publican congressman are elect

Fourth, Sixth, Seventh, Eighth,
Eleventh, Fourteeth, Fifteenth,
Sixteenth, Seventeenth, Eight
eenth and Nineteenth Districts.
Democratic congressman in the
First, Fifth, Ninth, Tenth, Thir-
teenth and Twelfth DISTRICTS
The Republican majority in the
State is fully 1900! -arsn.ss
AS far as beard from in Indi-
ana, Republican congressman
have been elected in the Fourth,
Fifth, Seventh, Eighth, Ninth,
Tenth and Eleventh DISTRICTS
The result in the Sixth District
is doubtful, though Voorhees, is
probably elected. Holman is al
so elected in 81 District. Julian
is elected by a handsome major
ity. The latest dispatches report
that the Republican majority on
the State ticket will be about two
thousand.
Nebraska has also gone Re-
publican by a decided majority.
Though very few Republicans
have had any doubt as to the tri-
umphant election of Gen. Grant,
yet now no one can possibly fail
to recognize the certainty of that
happy result. The opposition
have not only failed to carry either
of the three great central States,
but each of them have given such
majorities for their respective Re-
publican tickets as insures very
large majorities for Grant & Col
fax in November. sasa

EQUAL Taxation.

The New York Evening Post, in com
meuting upon the equal taxation OF
every species Of property promised in the
Democratic platform, says: .l
"A cigar Of average quality costs the
consumer about AS much as q common

to tax the wine and cigars very heavily
but have Refused 10 tax the -four aud the

tax equally every species Of property ac-
eording 10 IT. real value" II -four be
taxed like old Madeira, and bread like

cents cannot be sold for less than twenty

"There are rich men who have incomes

their families. The laws for which the
Republican party is responsible tax the

Summer Meats and Drinks.

tant party of the human animal
is, in theory, considered to be
that which is nearest to the hat,
POLITICALLY styled "the dome of
thought, the palace of the SOUL"
There have been Psychologists
who placed the mind where we
still do the affections, in or near
the stomach ; but the current
theory has fixed the seat of intel
lect and consciousness in the brain,
and made that organ, or series of
organs, as phrenologists claim it
to be, the motor in all enterprises.
Even hunger is not left out, for
they point you to the very spot
where alimentiveness resides.
But, after all, in these summer
months, we are forced to the con-
feSsion that the vassal stomach
has as much to do with our wills
and deeds, our thoughts and
words, as the superior head. To
say "a man has no stomach for
any thing is really as significant
as to say he has no brains for it.
For the intellectual forces can no
more get on without the gastric,
than an army without a commits
sariat department. It is related
of Sir Walter Scott that he some
time tkept the printer waiting for
copy. 1t were wonderful If he did
nOt-ciever and wonderful scribe
that he was. Thoughts can not
be pumped out mechanically by
any body, except a newspaper
editor and reporter, and Sir Wal
ter, though he could write the
WaVerly Novels, could not, we
dare affirm, have edited news.

on a certain occasion when the

you may imagine the strait the

it is q question of no small mo

all others are of no avail-"th,

the anaconda" AT any rate their
diet was simple-oat-cakes, with
beef done as above, would not
create the heterogeneous mixture
which we civilized folks deposit in
our stomachs to tester and effer-
vesce, while we stupidity wonder
that our food disagrees with us,
and take portion or a pill to
make it disagree worse. The COM
ic almanacs have standing joke
aboutan Irish maiden, for whom
dose OF seidlitz was prescribed.
She swallowed the alkali and then
the acid, and, we need hardly
add, was ''astonished." Yet we
all do the same thing. We put
homogeneous matters into our
stomachs, and are surprised that
they do not agree. The summer
markets tempts the palate with
their various offerings, and rich
and poor manage to find variety
enough to give the apothecary
business, and to swell the bills of
mortality. Things which might
be eaten with impunity, if taken
alone, are jumbled together, and
then we blame innocent things as
unhealthy, whereas it is our own
omniverOus appetites which do
the mischief.
But the various drinks which
are imbibed are an infinite deal
worse than what is eaten. The
consumption of shot and rebel
lious liquors. in this Republic is
absolutely appalling. Cold eli
mates allow stronger rotations
than are safe or prudent during
our ardent summers. The fever
which the sun engenders is ag-
gravated by drinks which would
suit the Esquimaux or Siberians.
The vital energies are fearfully
taxed, and the excitement is fol-
lowed by prostration. The sys
tenn is predisposed to malarious
Influences; and the heat which
one might endure in a sound body,
is fatal when the fire without is
matched by a furious heat within.
Whoever could persuade the peo-
pie into extreme moderation from
excitements, if not total absti-
nence from Whisky & Co. during
the summer months, would not
only save life and prevent disease,
but reduce the criminal calendar.
The tendency to improper indul-
gence has been of late years in.
creasing fearfully among us. 1t
was once thought that high prices
would abate consumption of al.
cOhollc mixtures. Such does not
appear to have been the case; and
while more is drank than ever.
much Of the liquor which is con.
sumed is of the very worst and
most deleterious quality. 1t is
surreptitiously manufactured and
thrown into the market by men
without conscience; retailed by
men without scruple, and drank
by men without sense.
More danger to the future Of
the, Republic is to be apprehended
from the vicious appetite for in
ordinate potations, than from any
other cause. Our National poll
tics are vitiated by this fatal in
diligence; for. men claim to per
form the highest duties of citizens
while they are under influences
which incapacitate them from the
lowest demands upon mind and
body. Whisky is the potent means
of cajolery and bribery and it is
all the worse as an agent of mis-
chief that it does not come within
the statute. Like the great i'm
peached, it can be declared against
