There has been another instance of accidental
poisoning at the hands of clerk in drug
store. The formula for these occurrences might
DO stereotyped, merely leaving spaces for
names and localities. In the present IN
stance. the victim was a young married
lady in Chicago. A dose of salts was or
dered something else was sent; sudden death
followed. 1t is time that the public should
take measures of protection against these accl-
dental assassins. Toattempt the cure of trifiing
indigestion is to sup with the BOrgias. There are
dreadful possibilities in the bright bottles of
the apothecary. The gentlest febrifuge stands
on the shelf beside the cruelest corrosive; the
mild anodyne is next to the fatal narcotic.
An EDgishman has recently made valuable
suggestion-to add to the "poison" label
statement as to the most accessible antldOtes.
IL would also be of great service, it seems to
u.s. to have every medicine label, both in and
out of the drug store, state the minimum and
maximum doses. The public will take bold of
this matter if the medical professions neglect
IL much longer 1t is for the interests of the
doctors as well as the people that drug-clerks
should undergo q rigid examination, and their
qualifications be certified, before being allowed
to step into the poison room. As matters are
now, the medicines of quacks may be safer
than those of the profession, for, at the worst,
they seem to kill more slowly.

The Spanish instruction has reached so
grave pass that battles-albeit the Govern
ment claims to have won them-have been
fought at Valencia and SaragOssa. Worse than
this, Emilio Castelar, the most popular and
eloquent man of the Republican party. has
been compelled to fee from meDanced assas-
sination into Portugal. Suher, another member
of the Cortes, notorious for an International
diatribe uttered against the Spanish clergy, has
also fled. These things appear in one way fatal
to the Republicans but if, as we are assured,
the Republicans have the majority of the peo-
pie, they may tend to excite still more bitter
and implacable opposition. Meanwhile, Cuba
is struggling.

MISREPRESENTATION.

The Government view of the Cuban question
seems to be fully and semi officially explained
in dispatch from Washington. The reasons OF
the Administration for not concurring in the
action of four Spanish American republics TO-
ward Cuba are founded on tho condition OF
the island the want of full proof that it has a
Government de Jacto and upon the law Of
nations, which forbids recognition before Q
rebel has thus attained to the stature
of belligerent. But the American Govern
ment has courteously asked of Spain the boon
of Cuban independence though it is false that
Gen. Sickles has proffered mediation as be-
tween several belligerents, he having most fit
tingly rendered only the good offices of the
United States. This action was partly infiu-
enced by testimony that very prominent SOL
diers and statesmen of Spain-are we at liberty
to guess whof-were favOrably inclined to
the Cuban proposal to purchase independ-
ence by paying certain sum for
the good will and fixtures of Spanish gov
ernment in the island. But as the Cubans
were not willing to run the risk of laying
down their arms az preliminary to this bar
gain and as the politicians of Spain feared an
admission of inability to retain the island, good
offices were Intellectual. The note of Gen.
Sickles, gratefully received, was amcably with
drawn, in accordance with diplomatic usage
all reports, especially in the English press, to
the contrary Notwithstanding. Aside from this
Washington statement we have for some days
been assured that the course of Gen. Sickles, 30
far from being rash, has seemed to the Depart
ment eminently prudent and has secured the
hearty approval of the Government.
Our Washington authority AYERS that the
Government of Spain has not sought the assist
ance and sympathy of foreign powers. OF this we
do not feel convinced. In letter from Spain.
which we deem trustworthy, we have been given
what purports to be veritable relation of Marshal
Prim's interview with Napoleon. The Emperor
not only reminded the Spanish War Minister
that Spain had not aided him in his Mexican
enterprise, but expressed his conviction that
Cuba would be lost to Spain. That conviction
may comfort the friends of Cuba, in the abb
sence of any attempt on our part to break the
laws of nations. and it may also operate to
determine our Government to peace, as the best
means of helping the Cubans without injuring
ourselves to greater extent than they can
repay.

GEN. SIGEL.
strength.

Mai Gen. Franz Sigel was urged to accept
nomination from his fellow Republicans last
Fall, but peremptorily declined. lie would
have been unanimously presented for Secretary
of State at Syracuse two weeks since, but he
declined, and Mr. Geo. w. Curtis WAS nominated
instead. Mr.. Curtis declining, Gen. Sigel was
placed at the head of the ticket, after full con-
sultation with the German Republicans, who
persuaded him to stand for their sake ana for
that of the cause. 1t has been asserted that our
native-born Republicans were hostile 10 the
Germans, some of whom have fallen away from
lis in consequence. Gen. Sigers vote will no
bly refute that calumny. We shall be disap-
pointed if he does not poll the largest vote of
any Republican running in the State. His record
as patriot a soldier, and lover of liberty
who enlisted to fight for the Union at the
outset of the struggle, bore leading part in sew
eral desperate battles, and was trusted and hon
ored by President Lincoln, is a part of our
National history. There is no other man who
was SO influential in bringing Germans to fight
for their adopted country as was Franz Sigel
We trust his nomination is to be followed by
that of Republicans of German birth for Sen
ate for Assembly, and for Judicial, County,
and Municipal stations. The fact that their
views are presumed to differ from ours on GER
tain non political questions will only incite us
to render them more hearty support. Claim
ing the right to think and act freely on those
questions, we accord that right in full measure
to those who differ from us. We would have
them fully and fairly represented at Albany by
legislators of their own choice; and we would
have their views frankly presented and
dispassionately considered Let all sides have
a fair hearing, and we cannot doubt that
Truth and Justice will prevail. We shall vote
right heartily for Republican candidates whose
views on Liquor questions differ widely from
ours, since they vote for some candidates
whose views of such questions differ widely
from theirs. To do otherwise is to wreck the
Republican cause on the quicksands OF side
issue, losing everything and gaining nothing.
There is a more excellent way.
Gen. Sigel is already widely known and
esteemed; he will be still better known and
more highly esteemed after this canvass. His
name stands at the head of our ticket. Let us
place his vote at the head of the poll.

Two or three of the richest men IN this
country have recently given, in contentious Ian
cuage. the secret Of their worldly success and
fortune. "There is no secret about II" SAID
Commodore Vanderbilt; call you have to DO
els TO attend to your business and go ahead-
"except one thing" added the Commodore
"and that is never to tell what you are gong
"to do till you have done it, The mlllioh-
aire Democrat who has been running for Gov
ernor of Pennsylvania, and who has no views
whatever on political subjects, recently gave
his idea of the way to get rich in the remark: :
Economy and safe investment are about the
"best means of attaining financial prosperity"
George Law, also, who is tolerably rich man,
though not, we suppose, quite as rich as van
derbilt or Asa Packer, remarked In conversa-
ton few days ago: "There is nothing SO
"easy as making money when you have money
"to make it with the only thing is to see the
"crisis and take it at its hood;" and, when
further pressed to tell the secret of his own
success. he quickly responded: Determination
"to work, and working" These opinions are
certainly worth something, and will doubtless
be eagerly studied by young men ambitious OF
wealth. But they are incomplete without a
remark of A. Il. Stewart, who is richer than
either Vanderbilt or Asa Packer, and who told
an anxious inquirer a short time ago that he
considered honesty and truth great AIDS IN
"the gaining of fortune"

The Democratic members of the Legislature
of Washington Territory illustrated the pen
chant of their party for secession the other day
by deserving their posts of duty, and thus leav-
ing the body without a quorum. The object
of this unseemly flight was evidently to
prevent the election of certain Territorial
officers by the Republican majority of the
Legislature Beaten by the people at the
polls, they endeavOr, by a process which has
grown into a custom of late among Democratic
Lawmakers and breakers to defeat the will of
the people by downright and shameful refusal
to perform their sworn official duties.

who has or who has not the right to vote,
means only that he desires and expects to
get votes into the ballot-box that do not belong
there. That is the whole story, in brief The
Democratic party has always taken that ground;
has always opposed any law that made voters
show proof of right. They opposed the law OF
1841; they oppose the present laws; they Will
oppose any and everything OF that nature.
Their action is based upon an active intention
TO defraud. Did any one ever hear OF Demo
cratic Court furnishing for fraudulent Young

There is a tradition that Democracy Is
"the rule of the people," "The people Is the

A. p, who writes to complain of the treat
ment to which travellers are daily exposed on
the New York and New-Haven Railroad at the
hands of q certain gang of riotous passengers,
has real grievance for which the officers of
the road are bound to provide remedy. Su-
perintendent Hoyt's theory that his duty ends
when he has provided the public with cars and
transportation, and that passengers must " pro-
eject themselves and look after their own COM
fort" is absurd. A number of disorderly
persons seem to be in the habit of taking pos
session of the smoking-car on certain train
every morning and assaulting any stranger
who enters it, How, we should like to know
is a quiet gentleman to protect himself" in
the midst of such crowd of roughs' And
what would Mr.. Hoyt say if the managers of
theaters and concert-rooms, the keepers of
eating houses, the directors of libraries and
reading-ro were to adopt his views of the
functions of superintendent "

The apathy with which the political cam
paign in this State has thus far been regarded
was indicated yesterday by the results of regis
tration in this city. Only $4,000 voters were
recorded, where last year Oh the first day
the figures were $500. Here is falling
off indeed. But it is always so when
we lhave neither President nor Governor and
Congressman to choose. If the registration
were to be taken as an indication, we could
not count on more than sixty por cent of the
vote of 1868. But there are two or three days
yet to put in names; and we urge every Re-
publican to see that his name and that of every
Republican friend is registered.

WHO ARE HOTERSi

Registration of voters began yesterday. or
course the Democratic press has shed its bitterest
ink in denunciatiOn of the law. What is the lawf
Simply measure to determine in legal man

harm in thatq Not the least-to honest men.
But to the Democracy, every harm. 1t strikes
at their system of false voting; it is an offense
to Reddy the Blacksmith and his gang of ire
"peaters :" it is rebuke to Judge McCunn
and his fellows, who granted twenty thousand
illegal certificates of naturalization to foist
man named Hoffman to the place of Governor
of this State. Did any man since the days
when Jackson enunciated the doctrine, Z" To the
"victOrs belong the spoils," ever hear of any
effort of the Democracy to purify the franchise
Did any one ever hear of scheme to corrupt

serious opposition of their leading men n
The proofs laid and to be laid before Con-
gress show that this State was carried last year
by systematic course of fraud that would
disgrace the most notorious gambler that ever
kept faro table. These proofs implicate the
highest men in the Democratic party. A
party with such antecedents will, of course, de-
nounce and defy any law that secures JUS
tice. They will swear vengeance against any
rule or practice that aims at fairness and, with
the audacity of hardened sinners, will pirate Of

Mr.. Willard Fillmore energies from his long
retiracy in brief speech before the CONNER
cal Convention at Louisville, which we cannol
pronounce without qualification happy
effort. The Fugitive Slave bill and his
motives in signing and enforcing it are
matters of history, not pertinent to the bust
ness of that Convention, which Mr.. Fillmore
would do well not to drag up and force upon
the attention of his auditors. The country IS
growing willing to forget these things; MIR.
Fillmore is not wise to combat that tendency.
