In order to show the temper of the

In order to show the temper of the
people in Illinois, touching the great
revolution, We quote the following
from tie Chicago Tribune of a late
date "-There is nolocal reason why
Greeley should be more popular in
Illinois than in Massachusetts,, yet
the revolution in this State is as
founding even to his friends. So
general and sweeping is it, that there
is not at this time a Congressional
district in this State in which the
friends of Mr.. Greeley do not have
the strongest hopes Of electing their
candidate. Several districts which
in 1868 gave Grant majorities by the
thousands, are, ever at this early
day, considered safe for Greeley. As
to the ELECTORAL vote of this State be-
ing given for Greeley there IS no
doubt. The Greeley State ticket and
a Legislature of Greeley supporters
are regarded as certainties."

The New York World is gradually
getting up heart for Greeley, among
the advantages of whose election it
includes a Democratic House of Rep
resentatives, thus making a great
inroa6 into the Republican ascend
ancy in the Federal Senate. The
editor adds:
As the Senate will necessarily re-
main Republican duringthe first halfof
the next Presidential term. MIR. Gree
ley will have the advantages which
a regular Democratic candidate would
not possess in getting his appoint
pOintments confirmed. \ Democratic
President with a hostile Senate would
be in SO embarrassing a position, and
so constantly thwaried, that he could
be of little service either TO the party
or.the country. Mr.. Greeley will get
a great deal of CO operation from Re-
publican Senators which would be
withheld from a regular Democratic
President, even if we could hope to
elect one.

The administration papers are do
ing good work in the interest of Hor-
ace Greeley, by their persisting in
publishing nonsensical and ridicu-
lous trash. Its publication has the
opposite effect to what is intended.
The San Francisco Chronicle pub
fishes a long list of names, termed
by that paper, "rebels," who have
left the Grant ranks and openly
avowed their intention to support
Greeley. In our opinion, there will
be opportunities afforded to publish
many additional lists of "rebels be-
fore the 9TH of November.

cENsURED FOR HONEST MOTIVES.

During years of the past the Re-
publican press, the administration,
and its chief followers, have pointed
with pleasure and pride to what they
consider the shining lights of their
party-men above reproach, and a
mere i%nsinuation against whose good
name would be sufficient to consign
one to everlasting infamy. Prom
inent among these shone with re-
splendent brilliancy, the names of
those pure and lofty statesmen and
patriots who were devoting their
lives to the service of their country,
such as Greeley and Sumner and
Trumbull and Schurz, and others
of like type and intellect. Look
over the files of the Republican
press during years of the past, and
you will find these men held up as
paragons of perfection-as men be-
yond the reach of corrupt influences
as patriots who would ever be
found ready to she'd their blood for
their country OF for their country's
welfare. Since that time no charge
has been brought against those men
no stain has been found to blacken
their character-but they are SLAM
dered and abused beyond the bounds
of common decency. They are rid
iculed and maligned without stint
and without mercy. Their names
are held up in the light of felons,
and their memory is treated as one
unbseken record of shame. What
have these men done? Of what Of
Tense have they been guilty? Have
they been guilty of treason or rob-
or rape or murder? No. What
then constitutes their guilt, that
they have SO suddenly lost their
good name, and become subjects of
The pen of the traducer and the
slanderous tongue of the orator?
Why, they have refused to obey the
dictates of the party They have
declined to kneel down and worship
when they knew he was
the treasury. These
men that turned upon the Admins
tration party are not place-hunters.
They seek no Office. They give their
reasons for their action. Is there
any reason under heaven why the
man that now holds control of the
chair should be reelected?
If there is, We have failed to observe

A Body and Mind Disease.

Such is dyspepsia. The stomach and the
brain are too intimately allied for the one to
suffer without the other, so that dyspepsia and
dependency are inseparable. 1t may be add
ed, too, that irritation of the stomach is almost
invariably accompanied by irritation of the
temper.
The inyigorating and tranquilizing operation
of Hostetter's Bitters is most powerfully devel-
oped in cases of indigestion. The first effect OF
this agreeable tonic is comforting and encour-
aging. A mild glow pervades the system, the
chronic uneasiness in the region of the stomach
is lessened, and the nervous restlessness which
characterizes the disease is abated This inn
provement is not transient. 1t is not succeed
ed by the return of the old symptoms with SUI
peradded force, as is always the case when I'M
indicated stimulants are given for the COM
plant. Each dose seems to impart a perma-
nent accession of healthful inauguration. But
this is not all. The aperient and anti-bilious
properties of the preparation are scarcely sec
ondary in Importance to its tonic virtues If
there is an overflow of bile the secretion is soon
brought within proper limits, and if the hilary
organ is inert and torpid it is toned and regu-
lated. The effect upon the discharging organs
is equally salutary, and in cases of constipation
the cathartic action is just sufficient to produce
the desired result gradually and without pain.
The Bitters also promote healthy evaporation
from the surface, which is particularly desira-
BILE at this season when sudden spells of raw,
unpleasant weather are apt to check the natu-
raj perspiration and produce congestion of the
liver, coughs and colds. The best safeguard a.
gainst all diseases, is bodily Uigor, and this the
great Vegetable Restorative especially pro-
notes.

new light dawned upon the world with
the introduction of PLANTATION BITTERs twelve
years ago. Drastic purgation went out-resto-
ration and renovation came in. The eyes OF
the people were opened to the great fact that
the way to cure disease is to strengthen and
support its victims, not to place them at its
mercy by depriving them of the little strength
they have. 1t soon became evident that as a
means of infusing vitality into the feeble sys-
tenn, regulating the secretions, curing indiges-
ton, and reforming bilious habit of body, no
medicinal preparation then known was at all
comparable to the new restorative. Since then
hundreds of attempts have been made to rival
the Bitters. They have all failed, and the
GRAND REVOLUTION IN MEDICAL TREATMENT,
which was commenced in 1860, is still in pro-
gress Nothing can stop it, for it is founded

| As the seine hauler cannot fish each his own
shore, so the OILERS have trouble, and they
cannot drift on one side of the river only; for,
as we all know, the currents follow 10 the
bend of river. and thus the net is carried
first from one side and then to the other-now
in Maryland, then IN Virginia. according
to compact, but not the boundary line.)
Again, if any one finds it an object to violate
the law by fishing in any particular way on
the Maryland shore, he makes the Virginia
shore his base of operation directly opposite,
and Uice Uersa. Thus, practically, such a
person has an immediate and safe retreat,
considering that it would not pay, as now, to
tive departments OF the two States
These two latter difficulties must be settled
/ between the two States, or we must assert our
boundary line to the southern bank of the
river. The people have right to demand
action on the part of their State governments.
Giling or drifting nets fur fish is every year
assuming larger proportions as to material
and labor. 1t is cheaper aud more profitable
than seine hauling, as general thing, and it
is well for all interested to reeagnize the fact
at once and provide aecordingly-to oppose
it is to lose. The great controversy between
the seine haulers and OILERS as to the effect
produced upon the spawning of the fish by
either method of fishing required careful
consideration. It is well known that these
fisheries have materially decreased Of late
years, and tile seine-haulers assert with much
confidence it is mainly caused by the use Of
the gill-net, while the OILERS assert the con-
! trary, and point to the fact of great decrease
Of the fisheries before the use of the gill-net.

in great agony until nearly eleven o'clock on
Sunday morning, when he died. Stokes was
promptly arrested and committed to jail He
waited for Fisk at the Hotel, and as the latter
was going to bis room he fred at him with a
pistol three times. It was a cowardly and
dastardly murder.
There was quarrel between Fisk and
Stokes which appears to have been of two
fold character. being partly a rivalry in the
favor of the unpleasantly famous Helen jose
phine Mansfield and partly controversy over
their respective Interests in an oil refinery at
Greenpoint and some kindred ventures. An
arbitration and award had been had on the
latter dispute, but Stokes, though he took the
money that was allowed him, was very much
dissatisfied, and has since been trying various
methods to enforce his original claim. One
of these was the publication of certain letters
