Influence of Temperature OIL
Health.

In the fall the difference between the
temperature of night and day is greater
than any other time of the year. In the
early autumn the quicksilver sometimes
rises as high during the day as in the most
fervid summer weather; while at night II
often sinks 10 an almost wintry point.
The human body not being made of steel
or India rubber, sensibly feels these tremen-
dous changes. To fortify the system against
them, genuine tonic is required; and The
public has long since discovered that among
this description Of medicines HoStetter's
Stomach Filters is infinitely the best. 1t
gently quickens the circulation, regulates
the bowels, tones the liver, braces the
nerves, and thus puts the whole physique
ON its defense against the vicissitudes OF
temperature in our climate. Few, IL any
cases of epidemic fever are heard OF in 10
calities where it is in common Use. AS II
becomes more and more widely known,
and the demand for ii increases, chillS and
fever and the bilious remittent seem 10 re-
cede before il, and If ever IL should come
into universal use, these diseases would
cease to be known as the Scourges OF our
low-lying and marshy diStricts. That
homely Bit OF provcrbial phi osophy, that
"preventlon Is better than cure" should be
especially borne i'll mind in the autumn
months; and indeed in all seasons, together
with the fact, that among all the proven
lives OF malarious disease, HOStetter s Stom-
ach BitterS is the most safe and potent.
BE certain, however, to obtain the Senu-
inc article as countless limitations OF IL per-
niciouS character are abroad. See that the
cXternals are all right, aud remember that
IIoStettvr'S Stomach Bitiers is sold in bottles
alone.

THE C.LIFORNIA ELECTION.

Contrary TO the expectations OF oo'n
political parties in the Atlantic and
Middle States, the recent election IN
California has resulted in the success
of the Republican ticket by majority
ofabout 5000. The State gave GRANT
in 1868 a majority Of 800 and IN loo'
it went Democratic by 5000. This year
the election seems to have hinged en-
tirely upon local issues possessing no
national significance whatever. Gov
ernor HAIGHT' was chosen four years
ago, and during his term local ques-
ton of proposed subsidies for railroads
was introduced, which has affected the
present election seriously. Several OF
the counties through which these roads
were to pass, discarded all political con-
siderations, and combined against Gov
ernor HAIGnT, who insisted upon max
inc this issue test, and introducing it
into the canvass. He desired to pro-
tect the State against extravaganza ex-
penditure, and has paid the penalty
which too often attends an honest ef-
tort to prevent the accumulation OF
debt. This is the true and only expla-
nation OF a defeat, which has no sisniti-
canoe in party aspect

self Republican and hence no gain is
affected in that direction, though 1t IL
probable they have gained one mem

of the three Congressional districts OF
the State, only one having been Repub-

changes that California is still safe for
the Democratic nominee for the Presl'
dency next year.

about which we may trouble ourselves,
except the departure in 1873 Of Grant

have been eating up the substance of

ference in the local concerns of the city
and State. In fact, some of the desper-
ate Radical politicians OF the city have
formally applied to the President for a
proclamation OF martial law, in order
that they may have a chance to steal
with IMMUNITY and that GRANT may
over-awe the voters Of New York. ~
But whatever may be the result OF
the present squabbles in New York,
we believe that good men Of all parties
will be gratifed by the punishment OF
thieves, and that no person cognizant
OF the facts in the case will attach to
these reported frauds any such political
significance as justly belongs to the dis
crepancy of more than one hundred
millions of dollars in the published &C
counts Of the officers OF the Treasury
OF the United States.

THE TAMMANY FRAUDS.

The Radical press is making siren
uous effort to divert public attention
from the gross acknowledgement Of the
national finances by paradins before the
public the crimes Of certain officers of
the city government of New York. At
this distance from the metropolis and
without the spur Of local aud personal
interest, there are few If any
persons who even profess to understand
the situation Of city affairs in New
York. That frauds have been COM
mitted and that dishonest individuals
have acquired wealth by robbing the
city treasury is probably true, but the
political use the Radical party is at
tempting to make of these swlndles is
unwarranted by the facts. The frauds
which are held up to the public gaze as
the result of Democratic administration
were committed under form Of city
government adopted by a Republican
Legislature and advocated by Republi
cans, and the Board Of Supervisors that
winked at these things was one half Re
publican. A subsequent Democratic
Legislature repealed the law under
which these frauds were possible and
established new form of municipal
government which, while confessedly
imperfect, is admitted by all to be better
than that which preceded it. These
facts should certainly be sufficient to
acauit the Democratic party of New
York and OF the nation at large from
the charge Of responsibility for frauds
in the city, and to illustrate the motive
which actuates the Radical press in
parading these matters before the CONF
try while carefully suppressing the fact
that, in so far as they have any politi-
cal significance al all, one party is as
guilty as the other.
These matters are well understood in
the State of New York and have little,
ifany, political influence. The Demo
cratic State Central Committee met at
Albany few days ago, and reports
from all quarters OF the State showed
that the effort of the Radicals to make
political capital out of the TWEED and
CONNOLLY frauds was a signal failure;
that it would not endanger Democratic
supremacy in the State nor aid GRANT
in procuring a reelection to the Presi-
dency. Some of the more violent par
tisans have been urging the overthrow
of all law; the formation Of vigilance
committees and all that sort Of thing;
for the manifest purpose Of affording
TO General GRANT a pretext for inter

The Government continues to run
itself, as it has done since the first OF
June, when the President took his de-
parture for Long Branch. A member
of the Cabinet occasionally honors the
winter capital with a visit, in order to
draw his pay and to keep up appear
ances. But, as rule, all the Depart
ments are in charge of the clerks. At
this time the President, the Secretary of
State, the Secretary Of the Treasury, the
Secretary of the Interior, the Secretary
of the Navy, the Postmaster General,
and the Attorney General are all absent.
The Secretary OF War is the only rep
resentative man now on duty, and he
will probably be soon relieved This
experience serves to demonstrate that a
great deal Of money is wasted in keep
ing up unnecessary offices and support
ing figure-heads, who wander about the
country or dandle at watering places
