ToRIA ON THE SITUATION.
PARIS, August 10, via LoNDoN.-A Dictator
ship is anticipated, with General Trochee as
supreme head.
The Emperor has been invited to return to
Paris, and await reconstruction of the gov
ernment. His refusal is considered certain.
Houses, trees, and all obstructions within
five thousand yards. of the Notifications of
Metz, have been destroyed.
PARIS, Aug. 10.-Count Palikao announced
the formation of new ministry, and read the
list of names, as follows: Bffs
Count Palikao, Minister of War; De la Tour
d'Auvergne, Foreign Affairs; Henri Chevreau,
Interior; Grand Perret, Justices De Genouilldi,
Marine; Pierre Magne, Finance; Jerome David,
Works; Jules Brame, Instruction; Clement
Duyernois, Commerce; Busson Billault, Pre-
sident of Council of State.
A recess was taken for quarter of an hour.
On resuming, the Chamber desired to pass i'm
mediately to the discussion of the project of
law on the Garde Nationale.
M. Buffet requested a delay of two hours,
as the report was not quite ready.
The Minister of Marine demanded adjourn
ment. He explained that Count Palikao was
now in the Senate, and would not assist at the
proceedings, in which his advice was needed.
M. Gambetti insisted that the debate should
proceed. France wanted arms. The soil of
the country was invaded. Necessity for in
slant action was imperative. The govern
ment should have made up its mind. (Great
sensation.) -
Minister Jerome David requested that the
ministry have few hours for reflection.
La Liberte says all the members of the staff
of Marshal Mcmahon were either killed or
wounded in the battle of Froschweiller.
STRAsBURG, August 10, $50 P. M.-An is
quiet here. Defensive measures are continued.
The House Of Lords was thinly attended to-
day. During the session Lord Cairns inquired
as to the progress made in the negotiations
for the preservation of the neutrality of Bel
GUM. He said the statement that the gov
ernment adhered to the treaty of 1889 was
satisfactory. The neutrality of Belgium was
of serious importance, and he approved the
determination of the government to maintain
it, 49,. -
Earl Granville said ewas gratified by the
friendly tone of the various members, including
the noble lord who preceded him, and, in
reply, said the government had secured the
object alluded to, and also the warmest APP
proval and support of Austria and Russia. 1t
was impossible to doubt the personal honor of
the Emperor Napoleon or King William, or
that nations so forgot their obligations as to
make war on the public opinion of the world.
He thought the treaty would not require the
action Of Parliament, the ain desired having
been otherwise achieved. The treaty was then
read and loudly cheered.

SPECIAL NOTICES.

Infection I'm the Air. Experimental
chemists have repeatedly analyzed the air ut
unhealthy seasons. in the hope of detecting the
invisible virus which produces epidemic dis
ease. They have not yet discovered it, and
scarcely any two of them agree as to its nature.
This is of little consequence 1t is sufficient to
know that this poisonous principle exists, and
that safeguard against its insidous influence
has been provided. In the spring and early
summer. when fever and ague, remittentfever,
and other periodical diseases of that class are
prevalent, it is only necessary to fortify the
system with course Of Hostetter's Stomach
Bitters to escape them. If this precaution has
been neglected, which it never ought to be in
any district liable to such visitations. and if
the paroxysms of malarious fever have actu-
ally commenced, they may always be checked
and broken up by course of that powerful
vegetable tonic and Alternative. Quinine was
once considered the only specific for chills and
fevers; but it is now generally admitted that
this nauseous alkaloid is dangerous medi-
cine, and that its secondary effects are more to
be dreaded than any form of intermittent
fever. II is simply tremendous astringent.
1t does not touch the disordered liver, or reg
ulate the bowels, or in any way improve the
condition of the animal fluids. Hostetter's
Bitters, on the other hand, in addition to being
better and safer tonic than any preparation
of quinine. has n balsamic effect upon the
whole system. 1t is aperient and antibilious.
rs well as directly invigorating, and purifes
the secretions as we'll as regulates the secretive
| organs. 1t stimulates the APPETITE, strengthens
the stomach soothes the nerves. promotes
healthful perspiration, and induces quiet
sleep. As a stomachic it has no rival. Cases
of indigestion that no other tonic seems ca
pable of alleviating. are cured in few weeks
by its regular use.

The union Democrat., 1870-01-01
Gambling license.

On the outside of this paper will be found q
copy of the bill introduced by Senator Green, in
the State Senate, for the purpose of licensing
gambling. We do not know with what favor
it has been received by our lawmakers 1t
presents one of those questions which some.
times arise, of legaliziug vice. 1t is never to
be expected that legislative body will give
its sanction to the commission of immortality
In this County it has cost large sums to in
diet and attempt to punish gamblers. Gam
bling has contributed to quite an extent in
increasing our debt. The moralst will un-
douhtedly say that it is Setter to endure the
cost, than to give such evil the slightest color
of respectabiity or legality. Ifgambling can
be suppressed entirely, there is no question
but i. should be done. The experience Of
many years, with very stringent laws show that
it is next to an impossbility to stop it. IF
driven from one haunt it finds another for n
while, safe from the prTing curiosity of OIL
GERS of the law. The question that comes up
with this bill is is it best to let the gambler
contribute to the support of the State by pay
ing license, or shall he be Intellectually pur-
sued at a large expense? Shall he be made q
source of revenue or shall he continue a bill
Of expense to the public? The State of Ne
vada licenses gaming and derives considera-
BILE revenue from it. To o person who has
been familiar with our Court of Sessions and
County Court records for several years, almost
anything changing the hitherto Intellectual
laws, would be desirable. If an indictment
is found and such a thing occurs as a convic-
ton on trial, (which is seldom, the party con-
victed takes his regular days in Jail at public
expense. We say, make such laws as will
prohibit this nefarious profession entirely, by
their extreme rigidness. If that cannot be
done, then the next best way is to make gam
blers pay a heavy license. If we are to con-
tinue bearing the expense, let the law be of
such effect that something is had for our mon
ey in the way Of prohibition Of the evil prac-
tice.
