Mild Certain, Safe, Efficient. It is far the best Cathartic remedy yet discovered, and at once re- ieves and invigorates all the vital functions with out causing injury to. any of thsln. The most complete success has long attended it's use in ma ny localities; and it is offered to the general public with the conviction that it fail to accomplish all that is claimed for it. It produces little or pain leaves the organs free from rri- tation and never over taxes excites the nervous system. In all diseases of the skin, blood, stom- ach, bowels, liver, kidneys-of children, and in many difficulties peculiar to women, it brings prompt relief and certain cure. The best physi. clans recommend and prescribe it; and no persons who once this, will voluntarily return to the use of any other cathartic. ~-' S'z''

spectacle of party ingratitude, with Conglngs fgu-

side. IL would have been gOody sight to have

TIE EFFECT ON LOCAL POLITICS.
Greeley's defeat Is a disappointment to more than
the rank and nle of the republican party in this
State and city. The Hessians of the democratic
party under the lead OF Morrissey O'Brien "Puttyn

pany are In horrible way at the Morrissey
and Fox claim that they secured the passage of the
zens by commissioners appointed under the direc-
tion OF Grant. The little game they hoped
appointments, and thus oe in a position to pro-
tect themselves In their repeating. The bargain was
made with Greeley. Greeley, 1t Will be remembered,
had been hand and glove with Morrissey ever since
the Huckleberry charter alliance Of last winter.
When the State Committee met last month al sara
toga tney renewed their relations and new negotia
tions were begun. Jimmy OBrien called on Ed
wards Perrepont so the latter says To get an inter-
view with Grant, promising TO aid the republicans
with his political machinery he could be protected
and Pierrepont arranged the Interview. Jimmy
often boasts oil the Intellectual conversation which
was kept I'D between himself and the President. and
introduces the subject with due regard for his own
dignity and Importance thereanent. ''Me aud Grant
meB," &c. 1t was thought from the supposed popr-
larity Of Greeley with the Irish that it would be
easy to turn that vote to considerable
extent over to the benevolent old sympatnizer with
Ireland and her traditional wrongs. But this NOM
inatiOn OF WO0dford upsets all their plans. They
charge the whole thing as political trick, grand
transformation scene or tabeau OF Tammany's get
ting up, and that Sweeny and Tweed behind the
republican scenes, manipulated the whole affair.

An important arrest OF an alleged fugitive muir

formerly Of No. 14O Cherry street. On the night or
the 4th ult the accused and George +. Johnson had
a quarrel over game Of cards at groggery
in New Chambers street. during which they lefs

THE POSITION OF TAMNANY HALL
1t is well known that after the Young Dem ocracy
and Duckleberry rebellion OF last winter Tammany
Hall turned out Of It's General Committee, without
ton. Since then they have been trying unavail-
ingly to get back within the fold of Tammany.
Greeley used to charge the heaviest repeating the
First and Twenty-tirst wards. and Tammany thus in
dicated determination to put stop to all illegt-
mate influences In the elections In future.
MORE ABOUT REPEATING.
The Tammany leaders profess to De greatly grati-
aed that they nave thus summarlly got rid or the
voting will give heavier majority than the candi-
dates OF the democracy have ever received before.
They say that the repeating was done for the most
part on the names OF democratic voters and that
the effect OF honest voters coming to the polls and
finding that their names had been voted on had Kept
every precauton to protect the citizens In their
rights and to secure honest voting, so that every
man in the community Will be sure hereafter that
his vote Will count AZ ne casts it,

After rule extending over period Of more than
eleven hundred years, the day seems at hand when
the Pope shall cease to exercise temporal power,
and when Rome shall once more become the capital
of Italy, Ten years ago the greater part Of the Papa
territory revolted and was annexed to the govern.
ment OF Victor Emanuel. In 1859 the Pope's tenn.
ralltles covered 2s9 square miles OF territory
tanning population OF 3,124 $685. The revolt Of 1860
took away everything but the civil divisions Of
Roma and COmarca, Viterbo, Civita Vecchia, Vel
letri and Frosnone-the whole containing A. 500
square miles and population Of 692, loo. Geo
graphically the States OF the Church are
bounded on the north by Tuscany, on the east by
Umbria and Naples on the south by Naples and on
the southwest by the Mediterranean Sea- Their
greatest extent from north to south is about 12O
miles, with breadth varying from eighteen to fifty
miles. The coast line measures about 160 miles,
ana is In nearly all places low and often marshy
Although it is broken by numerous bays nearly all
are 80 small and shallow that they are totally unfit
for harbor purposes. Civita vecchia is the single
exception, and even that place possesses but few
natural advantages as commercial seaport 1t has
been, however, since 1860 the only seaport held by
the Pope, and has served the principal means OF
entrance and exit to and from Rome.
Civlta vecchia Is situated on the Mediterranean,
some thirty EIGHT miles north.northwest Of Rome,
and contains population Of 1000 souls 1t is sur

building docks, theatre and q convict establish
ment The Emperor Trajan built the Port. The
harbor is formed by two large moles, and outside
is a breakwater which protects the shipping from
the heavy seas brought in by western gales. For
many years Civlta vecchia has been free port and
at one time carried on an extensive trade. Since
the dismemberment Of the Papal territory, however,
its commerce has been declining and at the present
time its business is comparatively small. Neverthe-
less, the town has regular steam communication
with Marseies Genoa, Leghorn, Naples, Greece.
Egypt and Turkey. railroad connects it with Rome.
The physical aspect Of the States Of the Church is
mountainous save on the seacoast, where 1t is fiat
and marshy The principal river is the Tber, which
rises In Tuscany, and pursues tortuous course
east and southeast to within twenty-five miles Of
Rome, when 1t flows mostly south southwest to the
Mediterranean. In consequence Of the difficulty Of
distinguishing the land from the sea the mouth Of
the Tber Is dangerous to approach, and the danger
Is increased by the prevalence OF thick fogs during
the greater part Of the year.
As general rule the soil of the country is pos
sessed Of great natural fertility and, with ordinary
care, produces large crops. 1t Is doubtful however
II there Is any other part of Christian Europe where
cultivation is more primitive than here. The prin-
cipa productions are grapes, olive silk, rice,
bacco c0rlander, anisc seeds, mama, sugar cane,
indigo and cotton. Live stock is abundant, goats
and sheep being in large numbers They are valued
The New York herald., 1870-09-11

principally for their milk. from which large quanti-
ties OF cheese are made. In addition to these pro-
ductions there are several manufactures OF silk,
woollens and hosiery, perfumery, jewelry, mosaics,
&C., but none Of them can be said to flourish One
great drawback to industry In the Roman
States is the want Of good roads. There
is but one short railroad and the ordinary
highways are in very bad condition. Communica-
ton across the Apprentices is exceedingly dif1cult
and Is carried on mainly by mules. The present
Pontin has several times exerted himself to carry
out plans Of Improvement, but has never succeeded
in doing anything, principally because Of his want
Of funds and partly from the political agttations
which nave repeled capital from seeking invest
ments in this part Of Italy
or Rome II is unnecessary to say anything. There
is hardly child in the United States ignorant OF the
history of this the most famous city In the world It
would be well here, however, TO correct false
impression which is current with many
persons and some well informed ones
among them. In Rome and throughout
the Roman territory facilities for education
abound to q greater extent than in any other part
OF the Continent, excepting France and Germany.
At the last census the ratio Of educated persons In
Rome was estimated aJ one to six Of the whole
population, which Is better exhibit than In Eng
