A Cross HUsBANp.-Mrs. smith
The fact is, my husband is becoming 50
outrageously cross and nervous that
there is no living with him. He pre-
tends one day that he has got the dys-
pepsia; the next day liver complaint
the next is sick, with no appetite-de-
clares that there is nothing on the table
fit to eat, and so on. 1t is all nonsense,
and nothing but his COMPOUNDED ugli-
ness. From the very bottom of my
heart, | believe he wants to worry me
to death
Lady Friend-Mrs. Smith, think
YOU are wrong. No woman has kinder
or more indulgent husband than you.
| must confess that ] have noticed a
change in Mr.. Smith; but am inclined
to think that all he wants is a good
tonic; and if ! were you would not be
a day without PLANTATION BITTERS in
the house. Make him take them mod.
erately three times day, and in short
time think you will see change. Ny
experience is that Plantation Bitters is
one of the best and most delicious tonics
in the world; and that for nervousness,
loss Of appetite, dyspepsia and all kin
bred complaints, there is nothing so
good.

BUSINESS BR1eHrENrNe.

We are glad to say that for the first
time in many months the combined YER
dict of the New York papers is to the eff
feet that trade is actually prosperous and
promising. The fall season has opened
briskly, and each day shows an inn
provement over the one preceding. The
demand for foreign goods is very mark
ed, most of the German importers hav-
ing sold in advance their goods in the
custom house and on the voyage. The
wooden trade, which for years has been
terribly depressed, is now becoming
wonderfully animate. Prices are inn
proving, and the demand IS greatly
strengthened. This new activity is ex-
planned by the existence Of the immense
crops of cotton and cereals which
the pre- ent season has pro-
duced. New York swarms with Western
and Southern merchants, all confident
and buoyant, buying large stocks on the
strength of the full crops. Stocks on
hand throughout the South and West are
very short, and purchases for future
trade will be accordingly heavy. The
South IS rapidly recovering from the par
alysis caused by the war, her credit IS
becoming good again, and her capacity
to meet all engagements better than ever
before After the stagnation of the last
four years, New York keenly enjoys the
returning sensation of activity. As
prosperity in New York means prosper
ity everywhere throughout the country,
it is to be hoped that the present revival
will prove healthy and permanent.

The infant editor of the HubbelI or
gan agonizes about what he calls the
removal Of Gen. Powell, and under
takes not only to impugn the motives fol
the appointment but to question the quail
hcations of his successor. Our informa-
ton is that General Powell resigned the
Office of Collector and the charge thai
General Beatty gave pretended rea-
sons" for his removal is so much
infantiIe twaddle
But says the infant, an individual
was appointed who edited a paper. whose
support General Beatty wished to Sc
cure Now if General Beatty did nix
he did a very unnecessary thing. for nc
one connected with this paper ever ask
ed him for the appointment nor did he
ever have. any reason to believe that he
would NOT receive the support of the pa
per without it. Nor has the appointment
changed what would in any event have
been the course of this paper in the
slightest degree. General Beatty has
hundreds of friends quite as devoted
as, and far more influential than our
selves whose support, though it has come
unsolicited he had far more reason tc
secure. and which he could far less cas-
ily dispense with than that of the hum
bic writer Of these lines. If John Beat
.ty ever did an unsel6sh act it was when
he old that which our accuser absurd
ly attributes to a selfish motive.
But this young and feeble irnitator Of
Jefferson Brick has something to say
about the vicious immediate anteced-
ents' Of this paper What us anteced-
ents are we do not care to inquire. but
any person curious to obtain information
concerning them may find it by consult
ing the docket Of Justice Latimer where
it is a matter of public record. Before
he undertakes to sneer atthe antecedents
of his neighbors, this ambitious aspirant
for the honors Of Prosecuting Attorney
should give little attention to his own,
If Hubbell had the editor of the
Herald appointed Assistant Senate Clerk
in order to secure the influence of his
paper. he made bad bargain, and the
editor sold out for a very little.

FoUR GRAND aEsULrs.


When General Grant wrote his letter
Of acceptance of the nomination for the
Presidential Office he made the following
explicit pledges
eff elected to the Office of President OF
i the United States, it will be my endeavor
! to administer all the laws in good faith
with economy, and with the view OF
I giving peace. quiet and protection every
where. ( Peace and universal
prosperity-its sequenee-with economy
Of administration viii tighten the burden
OF taxation, while it constantly reduces
the national debt
These pledges. it is almost needless to
say, have been redeemed beyond the
most sanguine expectations, and these
four grand results are the salient. in
disputable fruits of President Grants ad-
ministration
The Increase Of the Revenue;
The Reduction of Expenditures
The Reduction of Taxation, and
The Reduction Of the National Debt.
For example
From an Official statement, which we
have received from the Treasury Depart
ment and which is signed by William A.
Richardson, Acting Secretary, it appears
that the net gain in the national reven-
ues during the I8 months commencing
with President Grants Inauguration and
ending with the Ist of September. 1870.
was So, ,2H3, ,7G5 60. That is. over
etgHky-seven millions have been saved to
the taxpayers Of the country simply by
the honest and vigorous enforcement Of
the revenue laws.
During the same period there was, as
we learn from the same official source,
an actual decrease in the expenditures
of the government amounting to Ss2,
s53, $50 So. Add this sum TO the in
crease Of the revenue above given and
we have a net saving to the taxpayers
during The first I8 months of President
Grants administration of size, ,066,
S2G 81, or o1e- oas hf0tdyed and
se1saLy u,ilHoasl
But this is not the only saving which
has been effected. The amount of in
terest paid from September i, 1867 to
March 1. 1869 was s2II, ,22I.zI6 90,
while the amount paid from March /.
1869 to Sept. j, I87owas SI93.43I.I55 90
showing a net decrease in the interest
account Of $8T, 500, ,56I SIS. Add
this to the amount saved by the increase
OF revenue receipts and decrease of
OF expenditures and we have a total net
saving to the taxpayers of SEsS .SOT.-
3ss O5, or nearly one hHsayr4 ana99
stghtg eigAt millions Z
Be it remembered also that in the
same eighteen months during which this
vast saving has been accomplished a |
Republican Congress has stricken off
taxes amounting to over eig1tJ-ntlsoAs
and that since the year 1866 this same
congress has reduced internal taxation
alone to the extent of an aggregate sum

Dom Piatt. the Cincinnati C50,o

Dom Piatt, the Cincinnati C0a4ne5-
cfaTs guerilla at-large, has at last found
his mission. As a politician he is a dis
NAL failure, but he shows real genius for
reporting a greased-pig race at Lake
George. in which he participated. Here
he IS at home this is what he was cut
out for. There is a pre- -Raphaelitish
touch to his pencil as he paints the as
tonishment Of thepig while being shaved,
its terror while being creased, its pain
while being tormented with red pepper
so as to increase its speed, its agony
while fleeing before a crowd of soldiers
and statesmen, and its slight renon-
STRANGE when the yelling pursuers fell
upon and crushed it to death-"a slight
squeal, and all was over. Dom Piatt
takes column and half to tell the
story, and he enters into the humorous
transaction with a relish that shows an
unmistakable enthusiasm for high art.
To elicit the best effort of his genius
there is nothing like an oleaginous pig
in pain,

EAcTs FOE THE PEOPLE.

Let it be remembered, that Hubbell
when in Congress, voted in favor of ev
cry land grab swindle that was concoctec
for defrauding actual settlers out of the
public domain. For proof of this state
ment see Congressional Globe, page
4I83, July 20, 1866, when he voted tc
give SIX MILLIONS OF ACRES oi
public land to the Atlantic and Pacific
Railroad company of spectators.
Let it be remembered, that HubbeIl.
when in Congress, voted in every in
stance with the high protectionists and
pig-iron monopolists. For proof of this
statement see Congressional Globe, July
10, 1866.
Let it be remembered, that Gen. Beat
ty, in Congress, voted to reduce the tax
on pig-iron, tea, coffee, sugar, salt, and
every other article entering into daily
consumption among the people. For
proof of this statement see Congression-
al Globe.
Let it be remembered, that Gen. Beat
ty has voted against and opposed every
land grab swindle that has been intro
duced IN Congress for three years. For
proof of this statement, see Congression-
al Globe.
Let it be remembered, that General
Beatty, during his term of service in
Congress, favored economy in every
branch of the Government, voted against
every increase of salaries, and for the
reduction of taxation on every article of
necessity, thereby saving the farmers of
the Eighth District thousands of dollars.
These facts are matters ofhistory, and
cannot be conroverted. The people
have only to decide on Tuesday, Octo-
Der nth, whether they will vote for
Hubbell, the land grabber and swindler
of the public domain-the tool of the
iron-mongers and monopolists-or for
Gen. Beatty, who has first. last, and all
the time, voted against the land grab
bers, opposed every species of extrava-
gance, and favored every measure look

DEmoCRATIo CONSOLIDATION.

From Gen. Garfield's Mansfield speech.l
The Democratic Convention also de-
nounces the internal revenue system as
"unendurable in its oppressive exac-
tons" and demands the immediate re-
peal of the stamp and license taxes and
the taxes on the sales and incomes
These very taxes were abolished by the
law of July I3, though forty-seven Dem
ocrats in the House of Representatives
voted against the repeal. Let this res
olution and their votes go to the country
together. But they propose, in this
platform, new mode of managing the
internal revenue. They say this tax
should be collected by State and coun-
ty officials And this doctrine is put
forth by that party which has so long
been preaching a crusade against CEN
traIization and usurpation of power by
the General Government. The rights
of independent, sovereign States" have
been one of the dearest dogmas of the
party and now they propose to place
both State and county officers under the
command of a Federal officer ap-
pointed by the President. If this be
not consolidation of power in the hands
of the national administration, tell me
what is. The proposition is too absurd
TO be debated.

NATURE Of THE PRUssIAN GOV
ERNMENT.

Some of our Democratic cOntempora-
ries, who have given the weight of their
sympathies to the unscruplous despot of
the Tuileries, as they used to do to the
petty tyTants of the plantations, tell their
readers that the King of Prussia is as ab-
solute a despot as ever Bonaparte was. 1t
is possible that some of them know no
better than to make this assertion. Prus-
sia has a constitutional government,
quite as adequately representing the in
telligent public sentiment of the kingdom
as that Of England did fifty years ago,
in the days of the rotten boroughs. The
elections to the popular branch are in
direct, as our elections for president are
nominally, and were intended to be act
ually. Every man at the age of twenty
FIVE, and paying a certain tax, may vote
for direct elector, and the direct cleo
tors choose the members. The system
! is somewhat complicated, and intended
to keep the control of the Lower House
in the hands of the substantial and in
tellgent classes but it furnishes a COM
petent check on the royal power, as it
originates all taxes and financial projects
generally, which the Upper House, or
House of Lords, must accept or reject
CA4ttACB WtL44Out t44C 4lA III u et4AACIl041AC11L
The House of Lords is composed partly
of hereditary members. partly members
for life, or for limited periods appointed
by the king, partly of members elected
by resident landowners of the provinces,
and partly of representatives of the uni
versities and the burgomasters of towns
of more than fifty thousand inhabitants
This body is theoretically more in the
power of the king. as in England, than
is consistent with our notions of free
government. But the power Of granting
or withholding supplies makes the body
possessing it actually the controlling
authority. 1t IS true that the king did
exercise rome unconstitutional stretches
of power in the earlier years of his reign.
But the patience and good temper with
which the people encountered them, in
the consciousness of their own strength,
have checked any return of them, and
the popular intelligence and understand
ing of their rights will make any arbitra-
ry interference with them impracticable
hereafter. An educated nation, with
arms in its hands and taught to use
them, cannot be enslaved. If France
can but obtain as good a government as
Prussia now has, in consequence of her
misfortunes, she will have more reasons
to bless the anniversary of Sedan than
that of Jena.-Zn2ebeaae

Every Welshman who takes pride in
his nationality and also in being ably
and creditably represented in the Ohio
Senate by one Of his own people should
vote for Prot. Williams. He is not only

do honor to the State. It is far more
the interest of the people to have him

terest to 60 there. and he ought TO be

A prominent lawyer remarked to US

Victor Emmanuel of Italy seems to
have gone to war with the Pope for very
nearly the same reason that impelled
Napoleon to quarrel with King William
that is. TO keep his throne. He says
in letter to the Pope that any longer
delay on his part to occupy the Papal
States would have been followed by the
proclamation of the Italian Republic.
This compulsory action, for which the
Italian King apologies, is a last resort,
which will not save his Kingdom, Re
in Italy. as in France and
everywhere, IS progressive, and in the
end will prove irresistible.
