Shocks to the System.

The first shock of winter tells tremen-
dously upon enfeebled systems. Every one
knows that in passing from warm region
TO q cold one, or rice versa, the body requires
as a protection against epidemics, an accli.
mating medicine. All travellers and voy-
ayers admit this. 1t is equally necessary to
acclimate the system in passing the con-
fines of one season and entering upon
another. Autumn Is gone and winter Is
here. Prepare the frame and the constitu-
ton to meet the change by course of Hos
letters Stomach Bitters. This inestimable
vegetable tonic increases the staminal
strength Of those who take 1t, and renders
them proof to great extent against the
deyitalizing power of cold and damp. These
two agents are as prolific of disease as trop-
ical heat and animal vigor-such vigor as
this healthful and nnre toiiic dlnuses
through the whole organization-is repel-
liant which they cannot master. A large
proportion of the colds, catarrhs, and pull
msnary complaints which prevail in win
ter, might be avoided, by strengthening
and regulating the system in advance with
this inyigorant and Alternative. Not that 1t
is recommended as specific for those com.

The Cincinnati Commercial asks !
"Since the expenses Of royalty in
England have been figured up by
Sir Charles Dixie, has any American
been at pains to calculate the cost OF a
Presidential election p The New
York Bulletin, in view OF the extrav-
aganec and corruption which charac-
terize almost all departments Of our
national Government, is half inclined
to come TO the conclusion that our
republican system is a failure. 1t
says: 1--WE have all the evils conse-
quent on a Democratic form Of govern
ment without any of its advantages"
The people OF South Carolina and
some of the other Southern States
certainly have cause to entertain such
an opinion as this. The Bulletin adds
Instead of being more economical
than a despotism or limited monarchy
it is far more costly if we take into
consideration the enormous cost Of our
constantly recurring elections, which
far exceeds in the aggregate cost of
royalty. Nothing but return to the
utmost decentralization in the exercise
of political power and in the expend.
itures which it entails, (the latter of
which should be reduced to the lowest
possible limits by delegating no action
to government, whether local, State,
or Federal, that can be safely left to
individual oficers,) can eradicate the
evils from which every portion Of the
Union is now suffering 30 intensely"

Mr.. Garrett Refuses 20 Concede
Auything-Probabie Erect Upon
Business.
At a meeting Of the Coke Man
ufacturers Association, held on Sat-
urday, the committee appointed to visit
Baltimore to cofer with the executive
officers of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, (who are the
owners Of the Connellsville road in
reference to the excessive rates proposed
to be charged on coke-the main local
interest on their road-reported that
thew had an interview with Mr.. Garrett,
the President, and Mr.. King First
Vice President, who insist on the
advance to meet the interest on the
debt due the city Of Baltimore, and TO-
equip the road; that the advance Of
ebout twenty-five per cent. to Pitts
burgh, and forty.eight per cent. to
Brinton, is required tor these purposes,
and must be paid. The officers man
ifested no sympathy whatever for the
local trade tributary to Pittsburgh or
her manufacturing interests, excepting,
so far as they can, to force high freights
from parties having their Investments
on the line OF their road.
The committee say: Up to the
completion and opening Of the Pitts
bureh and Conuellsville railroad to
Cumberland we had no trouble or
difficulty in securing a full supply OF
coke for our furnaces or our Western
trade. at rates comparing favorably
with other roads, enabling us, with the
advantages we had from Western roads,
to promptly fill all orders. This we
feel we owe to the efforts of MIR.
Hushart, in whom We have every
confidence, and for whom we have great
respect Your committee would also
report that unless there is an improve
ment in the movement of our coke,
it is manifestly evident that our
furnaces will have to 60 out OF blast,
and our western customers will have to
seek supplies from other sources,
Therefore, in view Of the position
taken by the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad Company, and in defence Of
ourselves and for the preservation Of
our property on the line OF their road,
| uPecohrd That the President Of
this Association appoint a committee
to confer. with the officers Of the
Pennsylvania Central to learn from
them what they will do and what they
will require us to do to extend the
Greensburg branch, now under con
struction, to our mines, and what rates
they will charge for carrying coke iron
the same to Pittsburgh.
The report was accepted and TIT
resolution adopted, after which th'
meeting adjourned.

Historical Reminiscence.

In the year SOC, B. c., and while
the inhabitants of Athens were enjoy.
ing the peace and quiet OF republican
government and the good order and
protection to liberty and property
brought about by the wisdom OF her
great law-giver Scion, Pisistratus, a
man Of bland and persuasive manners,
artful and cunning address, and having
great ambition for power, planned the
overthrow of the republic, and the
establishment of monarchy, that be
and his family might rule. TO carry
out this design he contrived the follow
ing strategem: After woundlng him.
Ii nth bis OWN hn->-L- no SuaIIUt ~
the place of assembly, where he reused
and infamed the people by telling
them he had been thus mistreated by
his political opponents and enemies,
on account Of his political sentiments,
and because OF his great love for the
rights and liberties of the people.
The generous public, angry and indig-
nant that their favorite should thus
suffer, Immediately voted him g body
guard Of fifty men. Pisistratus had
gained his point in being thus allowed
absolute control OF body of armed
men. He gradually prepared for ex-
tending his power by quietly increasing
the number OF his guard, till, with his
assistance, he was enabled to seize the
citadel, and overcoming all opposition,
he established himself sovereign ruler,
or, as he was then called, tyrant Of
Athens.
This is the first instance in history
in which a generous and confding
people gave tvrant power to suppress
the Ku-Klux, and this is what came
OF it.
1t may be argued that because
Pisistratus betrayed the trust cOnfded
in him, that it does not necessarily
follow that our own President will do
the same thing. But history abounds
with incidents similar to the one
related above. We may put it down
as rule-which, like all rules, it is
true, has its exceptions-that wherever
the constitutional limits prescribed for
the governance of a people are broken
over on specious pleas, and more
power lodged in one man than the
laws or even good judgment may
sanction, that the trust thus confided
will be BETRAYED, and the people who
thus generously voted their own power
away will be made subservient to the
rule Of their former trusted servant.

THE OWE TERM PRINCIPLE.

We invite the attention Of our readers
to the article which we copy elsewhere
from WILKES Spirit Of the Times, In
relation to the course Of action to be pur-
sued by those Republicans who are con-
WINGED that the reelection OF General
GRANT would be a national calamity. Mr..
WILKES, it must be remembered, Is an
earnest Republican. an active worker
and one of GRANTS earliest and most
3. suu Hau, perhaps, more influence
with the President than any
other man in the country, until
ULYSSES incompetency for the
place and his bold intrigues for further
power became painfully apparent and
drove from his support all who love
their country more than the personal
fortunes of any individual. WILKES is
On energetic and Jealous man in what.
ever he undertakes and in the present
movement he evidently means bust
ness." Should he succeed in inspiring
other Republicans with similar patri-
otto fervoc and with courage to openly
warn the country of the dangers that
may follow the extension OF GRANTS
power, there may yet be hope OF sue
cessfully averting the mischief that is
threatened.
Mr.. WILKES and the Republicans
who act with him plant themselves up.
on the lone term principle" as the most
comprehensive ground upon which the
opponents OF GRANTS reelection car
unite. The position is well chosen, for
besides being right in itself, the doctrine
that no President shall be eligible to
second term Of Office Immediately sue.
ceeding the first, is so popular as to
command the assent Of all who are not
Immediately interested in retaining the
spoils and emoluments of Office. The
danger.and disadvantage OF permitting
President to waste the public money and
corrupt the public service in efforts to
secure his own reelection, are so obvi.
Gus as to need no demonstration. Now,
if the sentiment oil the country in favor
of the one term principle can find some
early and authoritative mode Of ex-
preston, it is possible that General
GRANT may be headed off" and the
politicians in his pay may be made to
see the futility Of his denomination.
And this, we take it, is the object of the
movement proposed by Mr.. WILKES,
with the implied understanding that.
even if General GRANT receives a formal
nomination from an office-holder's Con.
vention packed in his interest, as the
Republican National. Convention is
likely to be if greenbacks and Calling
guns can accomplish that result, these
independent Republicans will not in
any event favor his reelection.
Whether this movement in favor Of
the zone term principle" results simply
in the nomination of some other Re
publican, General GRANT being dropped,
or neither it results in the election ola
Democrat in opposition to the present
unworthy and ambitious soldier, a sub
stantial and important good will be &C.
plished. We await with interest
the further development of the plans Of
the "n,alcontents."
