The President, with quite Il numerous

A report having been circulated that would
not support the Baltimore nomination, on the
5,h Of November, deem it duty owe to my
position if not to myself to make this concise
statement Of facts. In Common with my Dem.
ocratic friends Of this hundred, did not advo-
cate or desire the nomination of Mr.. Greeley,
Tut the delegated authority 10 which usage has
vouchsafed the right to settle the question-a
question which could be adjusted in no other
way satisfactory to the wishes and interest Of all
the States with unexampled unanimity, has
proclaimed Mr.. Greeley our standard bearer in
the present conflict The best and wisesk men in
the country exult in the wisdom Of their choice,
and cordially and cheerfnlly acquiesce in the
decision.
Although my views may not accord Altogether
with those Of Mr.. G. in all matters pertaining
to our form of government, we harmonize with
wonderful exactness upon the wsnton perversion
and severity of its administration at present in
the South The correction ofthese evils in my
opinion will be the initial towards the restora-
tion of Republican form of Government in
our land BENJAMIN FRAIM.

The Petroleum Question.

For several weeks the supply of oil
in Pennsylvania has been 5000 barrels
a day in excess of the demand. The
glut has, of course, cut down prices.
In parts of the oil region the business
has ceased to pay any profit; in others,
it has ceased to pay expenses. The re-
finers took advantage of this state of
affairs to combine in order to enrich
themselves at the expense of both pro-
ducers and At a meeting
in Cleveland, in August, they agreed to
reduce the refining capacity of the
country by one.half, and not to sell the
Board of Directors. Sept. 2, this agree
for crude oil for refinement was instant
ly lowered one-half. Its price fell, in
three weeks, from $3.50 to 1915 a bar
rel. The r%efners, although getting
their raw material at such low rates,
advanced the price of their product,
during the same three weeks, from 234
to 244 cents a gallon. This has given
them an increased profit of about 81 a
barrel. The producers have not been
idle, meanwhile. They tried, at first,
to prevent the drilling of any more
wells before March l, 1873. This failed,
because the landowners threatened to
cancel the leases they had given. They
have the right by law to do this when
ever operations are suspended. When
this scheme miscarried, the owners of
PIG wells voted, last Saturday, to sus-
pend pumping for the next thirty days.
Since then, the flow of nearly every one
of the 1000 wells has been stopped.
Tie price Of the crude material has al
ready risen Is cents a barrel. 1t is
estimated that the stock on hand
amounts to a million barrels, and thai
600, 600 of these will be consumed dur
ing the month of non-productiop. This
which must throw thousands
of laborers out of work, a only give
tempo airy relief to the operators. On
Oct. % there will be 400, 900 barrels on
hand the daily surplus of 5000 bar
rels will begin again and the producers
viii be as lady off as they are now. 1t
is clear that they must make a scarcity
before they can make money. They
should do this, not by diminishing the
of their commodity, but by in
creasing, if possible, the demand for it.

rect addition 70 their revenues, they

Defend Your Heaub.

Tho fall of the leaves not only symbolizes human
decay. but promotes it. In other words. the effluvia
from dying and rotting vegetation is unfavorable to
health. To this and other causes-especiaIly excess
of moisture in the atmosphere-may be ascribed the
prevalence of acute disorders of the stomach, bowels
and liver at this season. Every person of bilioul
habit is liable to be very bilious in the fall. Then.
too. all persons whose digestion is weak are more
than ordinarily dyspeptic, and individuals predis-
posed to collie, diarrhea and dYsentcry are %particu-
larly likely to be attacked BIZ these complaint. The
most complete defense against each and all of these
distressing ailments is bodily vigor. To obtain this
blessing in all it's plentitude where it does not exist,
and TO preserve and perpetuate it where it does exist.
Hostetter'sS stomach Bitters is earnestly
1t is the peculiar Office of this preparation to reinforce
and regulate the important organs which digest and
temper the food. and convert it into DEMONSTRATING
blood. Bodily vigor depends upon the nourishing
qualities of that fluid. and the nutrftiousness of the
blood depends upon the functional activity and regu-
larity which it is the special province of tho Bitters
to secure. Hence it is the best defense of health at
this season, and indeed at all seasons. When dyson
terry, diarrhea, bill Gus collie, and other violent affec-
lions of the bowels. become epidemic, as they often
do in certain parts of the country in the fall. it will
be found that persons who have been wise enough to

The Wonders of Astronomy.

New, or temporary, stars only make
their advent at long intervals, suddenly
blazing forth in the sky with a brilliant
light exceeding that of the brightest
planets, being plainly discerned in the
presence of the MONDAY sun, and, after
a short career, disappearing almost as
suddenly as they came. A remarkable
fact in their history is the rarity of their
occurrence. Only twenty-five such stars
have been recorded in the last two thou
sand years, counting from the Chinese
catalogue of Mantuanlin, which goes
back to $50 B. G. The present century
numbers but two on its records, those
of 1S48 and 1866. Not only do new or
temporary stars make their appearance
from time to time, but stars recorded
on ancient catalogues have disappeared
from the heavens in such numbers as
to form a family called lost stars. There
fore, the class of temporary stars may
be much larger tn IN is generally sup
posed, as only the most resplendent
ones have attracted notice. When the
science of astronomy has made further
progress, it may be established hat all
temporary stars are variable ones, whose
changes extend over so vast a cycle
that we are yet ignorant of their true
periods.
