An Autumn Suggestion.

Now, as heavy fogs arise and searching
winds commence to blow; now, as the hui
man body, exhausted like inanimate ma
ture by the heats Of summer, begins to wilt
and droop; now ere the inclement weather
makes its trying onset; now is the time for
a preparatory course of the best acclimating
medicine in existence, Hostetter's Stomach
BitterS.
Fever and Ague is rampant In all parts
of the country. Quinine, the physicians
admit, will not quell the phase ofthe disease
which at the present pervades the entire
West. 1t is well that II Is so, for the remedy
lso-called) is deadlier than the maiady.
But if quinine is inefficient in intermittent
fevers, Hostetter's Bitters is irresistible. 1t
would be safe to make contract, under
heavy penalties, that any given "Fever-and-
Ague District" should be exempted from
the disorder for any particular time, pro-
vided every inhabitant would take the Bit
tiers according TO directions, during the term
of the contract. There has never been an
instance in which this sterling invigorant
and anti-febrile medicine has failed TO ward
off the complaint, when taken duly rs a
protection against malaria. Hundreds of
physicians have abandoned all the otficinal
specifics and now prescribe this harmless
vegetable tonic, and nothing else, as pre-
yentive and cure for all the forms OF chills
and fever. Vigor is the thing most needful
in these cases. as well as in dyspepsia and
nervous affections, and Hostetters Bit
tiers are the safest, surest and most whole
some strengthening preparation that hui
man skill has yet concocted.

Tho Gas Question.

IA view OF the fact that the charter
of the Gas Company expires in 1871
and that the city will have at that time
the option of buying the works, the fol-
lowing statement of the cost of iIIumi-
mating gas in twenty cities will prove
interesting. 1t must be remembered
that the gas furnished to these cities is
fully up TO the standard in Illuminating
power and, as we are informed, much
superior to the gas consumed here:
We will advert to the subject again.
The following is the statement:
"Pittsburg furnishes the cheapest gas
in the country, as it can well afford TO
do, the price being $l.Sj per thousand
feet. Cincinnati comes next IN order,
81 25-or forty cents per thousand feet
more than the rate charged in Pittsburg

Fraudulent Congregational Tickets.

At present writing the polls are not
vet closed, and it is impossible to know
the result Of the election in any precinct
in the county. We desire, however, to
say that the efforts made and eXpedi-
ents resorted to by the Radicals to de-
feat several of the Democratic Candi-
dates have been anything but honorable
and justifable \ fac simi!c Of the Demo
cratic ticket was imposed upon voters in
several townships in the county, having
The name OF NATHAN GoFF, Jr., printed
upon it as candidate for Congress, in
stead of the Democratic nominee,
JOHN j. DAVIS. The ticket was neces-
sarily long, embracing State, County
and Township officers, and, without
careful inspection, it was impossible
TO detrict so insidious fraud. General
GoFF's name was placed upon the Dem
ocratic ticket ,cith intent TO dccieyc. 1t
could have been printed there with no
other purpose The design was 10 in
duce Democrats 70 vote unwittingly for
the election OF a man whose political
principles they detest; to make the bal
lots which ,oert intended to be cast for
Mr.. DAVIS and the political doctrines
which lie represents, favor the election
Of his opponent 1t was hoped by the
authors OF this scheme TO defeat the
will Of the voters, to falsify the election,
and to make it appear that Corr had
received votes here to which he is not
entitled and which the voters meant
should be recorded for Mr. DAVIS.
How far this scheme was successful
and how many OF these fraudulent
tickets were mistakenly deposited in
the ballot box, we have no means of
knowing at present That it was
palpable and direct attempt to commit a
fraud is evident No Democratic voter
in the county could be induced to make
such change in his ballot voluntarily.
Among the candidates for county offices
there was some splitting" Personal
preferences were largely regarded in
voting for county officers and, to some
extent political opinions were ignored,
but that any Democrat knowingly
voted for GoFF instead of DAVIS is inn
possible.
The scheme was worthy OF the politi-
cal gamblers who concocted and put it
in execution. The whole legislation Of
the Radical party in this State during
the past five years has been directed to
defeating the popular will, disfranchis-
Ing where they could, and holding on
10 power when they knew the people of
the State were bitterly opposed to the
policy that was being pursued: The
State has not had a republican form of
government since 1864, and the attempt
made yesterday to cheat those whom
they dare not entirely exclude from the .
polls was an appropriate act in the .
Radica! programme in West Virginia. .

Richie Township.

We desire to return especial thanks
to our neighbors in Richie township for
the very handsome and fattering vote
cast Yesterday. Notwithstanding the
fact that more than a hundred regis
tered voters were unable to come to the
polls, and that nearly, if not quite, two
thirds of that number would have voted
the Democratic ticket, our majority there
is quite satisfactory. Two years ago
Governor STEVENSON carried this town
ship by majority of four votes ms
year Mr. JACOB, for Governor, beats HIM
sirty-a gain of sirty.fo0r in a single
township!
Personally, our neighbors in Richie
have placed us under an obligation
which we cannot easily forget. Our
own majority reached the splendid
figure of one hundred and titty-two,
We appreciate the compliment, and
hereby express our hearty thanks.
