The Faculty of the College state in their
report that after careful G,.d inmate crapai,a-
tion, they have the honor to state that " the
pills are not only free from every substance
injurious to health, but are composed wholly Of
substances and elements promotive of DIGESTION
and certain at the same time act favorably
upon the nervous system, &c, &c. They
state, further, that the Injurious Iumors set
afoat by the Prussian apothecaries originated
Sin a mean spirit of trade Jealousy, excited by
the great celebrity attained by the Pills within

Explosive Oils-FireS.

This city has been the greatest sufferer
BY fire of all the cities in the Union. She
ought to be spared further loss from that
cause, if possible. Fire is the breath OF
the Angel of Destruction. Where it blows,
it annihilates all in its way. What the
fire takes is lost forever.
This city cannot afford to lose anything
now. Every house that is burned ID a loss
that falls upon the community. The fact that
the insurance company pays the owner OF
property lost does not restore what is lost.
That is hopelcssly gone from the general
wealth, and the money paid the loser ID so
much taken out of the capital to be employ
ed in helping along trade and commerce.
Perhaps the greatest source of danger
from confagration to this, and indeed all
cities, at this day, is the vast amount of in
Hammable oils which now enter into the
commerce of the country. Far more dan
gerous than gunpowder, these oils are stored
in almost every part of the business por-
ton of the city. Powder will blow up a
house and fire the ruins, but in the explo-
sion it consumes itself, and does not, like
cumphene, or kerosene, or benzine, attach
itself to every object, and ignite whatever
it touches, ut the same time sending up I'M
mense columns Of consuming flames to de-
stroy everything in their way. The infamma-
Bile oils, when once exploded and ignited
consume the victims Of their rage, and at the
same time keep off all who would check
their destructive course. Water but in
creases their violence, and until they are
entirely cons umed, the hot and rioting flames
they feed cannot be subdued.
Now, then, here we have an enemy in our
midst-one that is ever imperilling life
and property in the city-one by which SC
many lives are lost. Have We done what could
be done, and what we ought to do, to protect
the city from it !? We think no one will
answer in the affirmative. Then, why have
we delayed the adoption of such measures
as would more effectually insure US against
the deyastations Of such dreadful enemy
one more fearfully destructive than any yet
known to cities
We suggest that this is a subject of the
deepest Importance to US. 1t would be i'm,
portant at all times, but eminently SO at the
present day, when We are so little prepared
to bear calamity. The leading citizens and
the Council of the city ought TO examine thu
matter and see what can be done the more
effectually to protect the city from this aw'
Sul peril

SUMNER CAN'T CoME.-The Radical crew
in Virginia are ever taxing their ingenuity
to offend and annoy the people amongst
whom they live and on whose means they
live. So the party, through Mr.. DUDLEY,
who is grand secretary to the Grand Cen
trail Committee, invite SUMNER to our
State" as he calls it, on the occasion of the
mass meeting of negroes to ratify GRANT &
C. SUMNER replies that he can't come ;
but seizes the opportunity to asperse the
State with his usual imbecile slang. Him
self probably descended from what are
called "slave pirates" who abducted ne
groes from their homes to sell them into
slavery, he speaks of the Virginia slave
"crop," and the "prejudice and indecent
pretension born of slavery" There is a
natural propeness in imbeciles to foul SIAN
der and that sort of brooding aversion to
nobler men than themselves that rankles
in their own breasts, and while making
them miserable, hurts nobody else. If the
Radicals thought the parading Of poor
SUMNER here would have excited either an
noyance or rage they were mistaken. The
transporting of hyena in the Snowman s
cage across the country would excite not
one whit less Of attention or concern than
the appearance of SUMNER here to rail be-
fore the deluded negroes.

The "Dissolyinp Views

The Hsrald's views are ever changing,
but they cannot be always headed "new
views" like General ScoTT's on the situa-
ton at the beginning of the war. 1t returns
every few days, and runs through its magic
lantern few of its old ones slightly al
tered, with shade here and there, and
bit of light in another place. Friday that
paper represented the view Of GRANT as
the man for the Presidency, and the horrl-
BILE features of the party that is supporting
him. SEYMOUR follows az an incompetent,
but sustained by powerful party SUI
mulated by revolution that will prooaoly
carry them triumphantly over all Oppose
ton, sweeping everything before them. 1t
eulogises GRANT and laments his SAD fate
in the same breath. In short, BENNETT Is
like ORPHEUs, with the beloved OF his bosom
in hell Hear him: From the admins
" tration of SEYMOUR, in short, If elected,
ave have nothing better to expect than
another term of poor PIERCE or second

" with Congress while in the election OF

" safe and sound Conservative policy against
" the excuses of the Radicals on the one
hand and the fre-esters on the other.
" Yet such have been the high-handed as
" sumptions, the blunders, and follleS, ana
" prodigalities, and corruptions of the IA
" ideals of Congress, that the people, for
the sake of decisive change, may prefer
d" SEYMOUR to GRANT and thus the greatest
" soldier of the day may again be beaten

AMOS KENDALL ON THE SITUATION
The yenera Bile AMOS KENDALL wrote let
ter to the Democratic Club of Washington
city on the occasion of the great meet
ing in that city the other night. This Vete-
ran politician was one of the most promi-
nent of public men in other days. Like
p. BLAIR the elder he was one of the
ablest partisan writers Of his day, and like
him, too, generally on the winning side. tie
now takes the most out-andout stand for
SEYMOUR and BLAIR and the Constitution.
We make the following extract from his
long and able letter:
"What sort of peace is to be expected in
the South SO long as white people are pro-
scribed and negroes allowed to govern may
be safely inferred from the condition OF
those reconstructed States, Louisiana and
Tennessee. Their governors and leglsla-
lures are calling for military aid, aVowlng
their incapacity to maintain peace and en-
force the laws by the civil authorities. II
this be 50, it is conclusive proof that con-
gressional reconstruction, as means OF
INC LOuli1 ID q '"Aie- ~
road to peace is in another direction. Let
Congress retire within the limitations Of the
Constitution. Let them abolish their test
oaths and remove all their disabilities. Let
them restore to the President his legitimate
functions, and allow his pardons to have
their constitutional effect. Let them
strengthen instead of weaken the judiciary,
and sustain it in the full exercise OF Its
powers for the protection Of both the white
and the black.
Wipe out as with sponge your ca posi-
fdcto legislation, and restore to all the
States their constitutional rights. DO this,
and YOU will have peace. The men whom
YOU now hold disfranchised and have
| pushed to the verge Of despair will become
your sureties for the preservation OF peace
and the restoration of order.
"Reverse the picture, and what are the
prospects of this country Attempt to sus
tain these negro governments oy force, ano
you reduce the prescribed white men to de-
spair Your army, instead Of being reduced
must be doubled. The taxes, instead o.
being diminished must be increased. L
Congress cannot las they have mott preyen
an increase of our frightful national deb
in times of peace, what mountains must 81
added to it by q renewal of war! And II
the anarchy which must ensue, what is tt
become of our republican institutions 7"
