The Means of Escape.

The fall has many perils for the weak and
feeble, and its sudden atmospheric changes
are trying to the constitutions of even the
robust. The chilling temperature OF the
nights, as compared with the almost sum-
mer warmth OF the days, necessarily eXer-
cises an unhealthy influence on all who are
exposed TO il. Hence dyScntery, diarhra,
Intermittent fevers, bilious attacks, and de-
rangements OF all the secretionS, are com
mon mt this season. The true way to escape
Them is to meet the causes with protec-
tive and invigorating medicine. Hostel
tcr'S Stomach BitterS are designed for this
exigency. This powerful vegetable specific
relieves the system of all acrid humorS,
purifies the fluids, tones the Sccretive or
cans, promotes healthy evaporation through
the pores, increases the activity Of the di
gcstiye functions, cheers the spirits, aud
regulates the bowels. To do this is to make
the whole body vigorous, and render ii
prOof against the viciSsitudes OF tempera-
ture, and against malaria. \ course OF the
great tonic and Alternative is therefore in all
eases advisable as preventive at this sea-
son. II, on the other hand, the mischief Is
already done, and intermittent or remit
tent fever is actually present, or the liver,

medicine so certain to effect a quick and
thorough cure as this harmless and agree

ACCORDING to the census os 1870, the
negro population Of California was 4142.
If we suppose there was vote for every
six OF the population, as in the case OF
whites, the number of voters would be
Coo. But the Educator, a negro organ
in San Francisco, says the negro vote,
ut the late election, was about 1000. In
other words, they have vote for every
one and a quarter Of their population.
If this is not good voting, we never
heard Of it before. The white people,
not personally knowing the blacks
having no social intercourse with them,
The opportunity for an illegitimate eXer-
else Of the right of suffrage is multi
piled tenfold. The Philadelphia Age
saws that in Philadelphia the negro
vote has been one for every two and a
half of the whole OF that class o.
the population. This result cannot
honestly be reached, and the fact shows
how the Radicals have multiplied the
negro vote in order to overcome that of
white men.

From the Ohio States1nan.l

Constitutional Convention In Ohio.
The Constitutional Convention will
have the same numerical strength as
the House of Representatives. 1t is
the opinion of we'll posted politicians
that a bill will be introduced in the
Legislature soon after its assembling,
ordering an election for delegates on
on the first Monday of April, and that
the Convention will commence its
labors about the first Tuesday in May,
and possibly have the new instrument
ready to submit to the people at the
tall election in 1872.
The only qualification for delegates
to the last Constitutional Convention
was that they should be electors, thus
admitting Judges of the Courts, men,
bers OF Congress, etc, and 1t is presum-
ed there will be no obstruction to the
election of those already holding office
to the coming Convention.
Under the Constitution OF New \ ork,
twenty delegates are elected at large, no
elector being allowed to vote for more
than ten, and some of the best talent in
both political parties is secured. The
provision in our Constitution that the
Convention shall consist Of as many
members as the House of Representa-
tives, to be chosen in the same manner,
prevents the election Of delegates from
the State at large.
The Constitution provides that the
delegates shall meet within three
mouths after their election, so that, If
the election should be ordered to take
place in April, the deliberations will
have 10 be conducted during the Presi-
Dental campaign. This will be re.
gardcd as unfortunate by those polltl-
clans who desire to take hand in both.
