The Next Tresiden tiai Election.

Inc new superintendent OF members OF
congress, based on the present census OF
1870, will determine the number OF tine pres
ldeutial college. This change will greatly
increase the favorable chances of the dem
ocrscy. While the New England states
will not hold their own, the states OF the
South, whose representation in congress and
the presidential college Is based Oh the old
constitutions al provision, under which three
tifLhs Of the slaves were not enumerated IN
the superintendent, will gain considerably.
The increased representation OF New l ork,
Peunsylvsnla, Missouri, Indiana, Virginia,
kentucky and Tennessee will fully Offset all
that the populcus radical states OF the W est
can gain in the next apportlonment OF
members of congress.
The democratic party will enter the next
presidential contest under quite dfferen,
aus pices from those which attended 1t IN
the elections of 1864 and 1868. There will
be no fraudulent army vote taken IN camps
end hospitals, and mani ulated and redou-
bed, to thwars the will OF the people, as in
1864. In 1872, there will be no attempt to
cast away the votes Of states as in 1865, or
the people will know the reason why. There
will be no shameful resolutions, as in the
forty f-st congress, TO throw the electoral
vote OF q state away if it should effect the
result, and retain it ii not, as in the case of
Georgia. The only southern state which is
now in the grippe of rsdicslism is South Car
DINA, and before the presidential! election Of
1872, her citizens will rescue themselves
from the rule of Governor Scott, Whittem0re
and their tools. The democracy need not
wish for better chances of success in the
next presidential campaign than have de-
veloped in the recent elections. Harmony,
moderation and the choice of good candi-
date alone are needed. Admonished by the
lessons of the past, there will be no repeti-
ton OF the blunder at New York in 1865

Common Grog-shop Bitters.

Empty Bitter Bottles of various styles, can be

1churz Snubbed by Grant.

The President is permitting his personal
feelings to get the better of him and in so
doing he forgets the dignity of his position,
if he ever appreciated it. The following lit
tie item from the Washington specials. to the
Cincinnati Commercial, exhibits the lit e.
ness of the President:
Senator Schurz called at the White House
to day at about two o'clock, and sent his
card to the President. The latter was con-
veniently engaged with delegation of
Quakers, and sent out word that he was too
busy to see the Senator. This is regarded
here as direct snub to Schurz, as Senators
have heretofore been admitted the moment
they sent their names to the President.-
Senator Schurz subsequently remarked that
he did not call to pay his res Jects to Gen.
Grant, but to the office which he holds.

Death is at the Docr.

In all these complaints the system evidently
shows . want of red blood, and Mr.. Churchill, in
his work on Diseases of Females, says: 'Bear-
ing in mind that the blood is remarkably def
cient in red corpuscles, and the known property
of iron to correct this condition, theory suggests
it - the most to be relied on, the best of which
is the Citrate" Citra,e of Iron enters largely
into the competition Of Engllsh Female Bitters.

qualities
Among the mountains of Tennessee and the
piney woods of Mississippi, is found 9 certain
hard and finty root, which has been in secret use
by some old midwives for many ears, possessing
magic powers in regulating and restoring ali
females suffering with any affection of the womb.
This root we have obtained, ave il fair test in
our practice and it is now one of the principle
ingredients in these Bitters. Other powerful
Uterine and general ton les also enter into its
composition. We slso add Leptandra or Black
root, suficient to cot upon the liver and keep the
DO wells open.

Ehe Babcock Fire Extinguisher

II is too late, entirely, to speak of the
Bsbcock Fire extinguisher as either novel
" or an Experiment. It's use has become
too general, its fame too extended, its success
too decided, to admit of other terms of
reference than such as belong to established
institutions. A list Of 30 fires, in factories,
mills, stores, steam boats, and dwellings,
arrested and put Out by this very simple,
iacile, economical Continuance, must certain
iy be admitted as attesting its value and
necessity an appliance wherever there Is
any danger of fire. Such q list is before US,
and we confess our surprise to find what @
world of good this invention has already
accomplished. and how large an amount of
property and capital it has, and all human
probability, preserved from destruction 1t
is estimated that the value of property saved
by its use during the past year, will amount
to four millions Of dollars.
Among the notable illustrations it has
given of its value, may be mentioned the
recent extinction OF the FIRE at the Estes
House, Keokuk, Iowa. This is the largest
hotel in that State. In this case, although
tie flames had obtained considerable head
way, this machine, In the hands of an in
experienced person, extinguished the fire
instantly. The Chicago Fire Department
has, by formal resolution, attached two of
the Babcock Extinguishers to each hook
and ladder truck and detailed men for
using them. Frequently the use of the
machine obvintes the necessity of using the
fire engines. Three times this extinguisber
has put out fires in the Chickerlng Piano
Forte Factory, at Boston and in New
York and Chicago it has done Infinite good.
Tiffany & Co., the New York jewellers, and
Frank Leslie. the publisher. have acknowl
edged its good offices in their particular
cases, and hundreds more are on record in
the same direction.
The principle utilized in the Babcock
machine is, that water, supersasurated with
carbonic acid gas, gathered in an air tight
vessel, is the most simple and powerful
means We. known to science for destroying
FIRE. AS applied in this practical form, the
means of lighting fire are always ready,
inexpensive. harnless and most effective.
We take pleasure in adding our testimony
to that Of many of the most intelligent IN
oerwriters in favor of this machine, and
cordially recommended the Babcock Fire

householder. storekeeper, and millowner. as
being exactly the thing he needs.-We

a German paper says at the sor.ie upon
Bagneux, before Paris on October Ii, a
Prussian trumpeter found a French signal
book and tried to sound the French signal
of retreat. He succeeded, and in the most
terrible drift of bullets he took up a position
within the French first line, hitting himself
in a garden house, where he was at any
moment exposed to be discovered and killed
BY the enemy. There he sounded his bugle
with such force aud persistence that nun.
Der of French buglemen soon answered
with the same signal, and the whole French
detachment that until then had Courageous
iy advanced began to retreat The Prussiani
immediately closed upon the resreatinq
force, which, on this retrograde movement
lost upwards of 800 men killed, wounded
and prisoners. The valiant trumpeter',

there appeared Cd her care, red swollen places OF
sores, attended with itching and burning; for
awhile it remained much the same, then rapidly
grew worse; appearing successfully on her hand

blotches or soars, and completely inoapactsted
her for any duty. At this time her head was 50
completely covered with scab that it WAS i'm
possible for her to dress her hair with the COATS

she pronounced herself cured. She is now per
