At this season all the great lines OF travel begin
to swarm with human beings intent on business or
pleasure. Are these moving multitudes aware OF
the danger which ensues from drinking different
varieties o. water and brt athng atmospheres to
which their lungs are unaccustomed7 Do they re-
alize how important 1t is to be pre-armed with an
antdOte that will defend their system from the evil
consequences Of such changes and from all ailments
and disturbances which arise from the mlasma so
pentifully evolved from the soil at this period Of
the yea ? Such an antidote-certain in its protec-
tive operation and free from everything ObjectiOna
BILE in its composition and navor-has been for
twenty years before the world. No instance can be
adduced, during that period in which Hostetter's
Stomach Bitters has failed an acclimating medi-
cine, or preventative Of tho bodily ills to which
the undrfended system is liable in unhealthy local
tiles.
A g'od appetite, perfect digestion, a vigorous
condition Of the nervous system, functional regu-
larity, and pure and active circulation are the ell
ements Of health and these signal blessings may lie
secure and perpetuated by the of this powerful
yet harmless vegetable tonic, such is the expert
ence of all who have ever taken 1t as a safeguard
against the diseases which debility, lrregular.ty,
and morbid condition of the solids and nuids Of
the body are sure to invite. may2l-lw-eOd

1t had been expected, by the Fountain Society,
that the handsome fountain, which is to be
erected on the triangular lot, at 18th st and
Delaware Avenue, as a memorial TO Ferris
Bringhurst, would have been completed, early
the past spring, and in use before this time
Subscriptions amounting to between $1,000 and
S14OO have been made toward the expense, and
Struthers & Son, Of Philadelphia, contracted to
do the work.
The delay mas been cassed, however, by the
non arrival, from Scotland, of the blocks OF
Aberdeen granite, which form part of the struct-
ure. This granite is so exceedingly compact, and
hard, that it can only be polished and carved by
the skillful stone-cuttsrs of Scotland, and it will
be sent over in a finished FORM Messrs. Struth-
ers Son have their work done, and have sent
repeated instructions to Scotland to hurry for
ward the portions being prepared there.
Tho fountain will have a square base of Ameri-
can granite, gray a column, Of Scotch granite,
Lred) capital Of American and an urn, Of
Scotch. This makes a very beautiful combina-
ton, and will render this fitting memorial an
object OF artistic appreciation, as well as personal
remembrance, and public usefulness.
A portion Of the lot, sufficient for the purpose
has been generously given by the owner, j.
Taylor Cause, Esq. The whole piece Of ground
should be secured to the public use enclosed,
and ornamented.
Pending the delay in getting up the fountain,
the subscriptions received have been deposited

Of the shed was badly burned, and some hay,
and tubs makes up the balance Of the loss. The
origin Of the fire is not known. The property
belonged to David Curran.

UyCBRISTyAg POLITICS.

One stratagem of the Grant party has been
so widely repeated that it must have been
adopted by general consent. This was to
print the Liberal ticket with large black
cross, such as the Grant organ in this city
disgraced itself by engraving and printing,
and an appeal to Roman Catholics to vote
this as the only ticket under which their tmth
would be safe. These tickets, and circulars
in the same sense, were then sent to Protest
ants and Administration men, on the theory
that their hair would stand on end at tins
willy attack upon their cherished convictions
IL is not impossible that there are persons 80
unthinkiug and so prejudiced as to be In
fuenced even by an artiice 80 coarse and 50
contemplate as this who felt, on receiving
one of these circulars as If they were already
broiling at Smithfeld stakes, or writhing Oh
the rack Of Torquemada. Such tactics mayy
therefore, have gained Gen. Dix some votes.
But they are Of kind that no candidate
and 10 party can afford to profit by. To gain
q trAing temporary advantage they SOW the
seed of endless feHds and hatTeds. But this
IT, after all, no mOYs than is to- be expected
from the men who are engaged IN perpetua-
ting the present Administration. The very
key OF their political position is Tho hatred
and Gistrust between the different sections OF
the csuntry which they are industriously
cultivating, snd it is Oniy natural shat they
should ey to reinforce this work by exciting
the bitterness and amnesty of differont re-
ligiOus seets.

PETROLEUM INTERESTS.

An article. which we reprint elsewhere,
from The 1itusrille Erentn0 Press, takes issue
with the conclusions OF correspondent
whose letter we recently published, giving an
account of the new combination of oil pro-
ducers in Pennsylvania. Their plan, it will
be recollected, is TO establish n Producers
Agency, with capital of million of dol
lars, which is to take all the oil produced by
members of the Association, at fixed price
of So per barrel. This price is TO be paid in
casn so long as tho Association can sell the
oil without loss; when it cannot. it is to store
the oil and advance only SO per barrel to the
members until the withdrawal of oil from
the market shall raise the price TO the re-
quired S.. II is supposed that the effect will be
to check permanently an over-prOduction of oil
on the part of the members, while fostering O
steady supply of enough to meet actual con-
sumption and, by enrolling in the member
ship the great bulk Of producers. to substi-
tute for the violent fluctuations aud specula-
tive excesses which have marked the business
hitherto, uniform system that shall yield
large and regular profits to tho owners OF
oil-wells. No doubt, from the producers
point of view, such q prospect Is contem-
plated with unmingled satisfaction and they
at least can bear with equanimity the prob
able mIsfortunes of owners Of pipe lines who
have speculatively contracted to deliver oil to
refners at prices which this combination
may render impossible. But in these con-
tests between seller and buyer there are al
ways two sides to the question:. The address
of the Petroleum Producers Association, in
soliciting subscriptions 70 the stock of The

that nominated O'COnor and Adams, got
as full and fair treatment in our columns as
the body that nominated Greeley and Brownj )
meetings, speeches, addresses were reported
impartially with whatever fullness their news
importance warranted till, when the news of
the discussion seemed fairly exhausted, we
naturally gave more space to The movements
on our own side.
This honest presentment Of the news
whether it help or hinder the side we favor
we believe to he the duty of great newspaper
which means to deal fairly with its readers.
THE TRIBUNE pursued it, with some discour-
agements, throughout this most trying OF cam
paigns 1T will continue TO pursue 1t through
whatever rise and fall of parties the
future may have in store In our
news columns the news honestly told I'm our
editorial columns our own opinions honestly
expressed, without reference to the demands
of party managers or the decisions OF party
caucuses-that has been the programme OF
THE TRIBUNE for the campaign, and is Its
programme for all the future.

combination, says that its success means
si9, 100000 a year added to the realized cap
ital Of this country as profits" OF this sum
which is TO go to producers, 1t is needless to
say the bulk must come from consumers, even
though by means Of the Agency the inter
ference of middlemen and spectators be re-
duced TO minimum. And as very largo
proportion of the oil is consumed in this
country, and principally by the poorer clHsses,
there certainly is something Of the flavor of
monopoly about the prospectus of the com
bination Anxious for the welfare Of the
mining industry Of Pennsylvania as we have
always been, in tho present instance we
should prefer to divide our sympathies as the
S12.OOO.O 900 ought to be divided-between pro-
duceTs and cOnsumers.
New-York tribune., 1872-11-06

Jhe Athanasian Croed continues to- eagse great
discussion IN England Large committees have Leen
raised TO labor against its continuance in The PRAYER
book, and equally large committees are working 10
secure It's expulsion. This presents IL must be
admitted, somewhat curiOus stase Of thiDEs A
creed is an absolute, unqualified expression Of belief,
and 1t is certainly odd that while members of the
came church are recitiDg the same confession half
of them should be in earnest and half Of them other
wise. Generally, such contrariety of belief would
produce schisn aud make two churches oat Of one.
Tho Athanasian Creed. about which mach dis
cussOn is going on in the English Church. has been
expunged from the prayerbools Of the American
Church. There arc grave historic doubts whether
this Greed was written by 81. Athanasius st all.
Hilary, Archbishop Of Aries "a. d. 49O, has been
conjectured the author The main objection in
Eoglaud as we understand if, IL TO what are called
the damDatOry clauses Of the Creed. which are ~
follows:
Which faith except every 0h5 10 keep whole and
defled, without donbt be snail perish eyfraangly"
Tbis Ia fhe Catholic hth ws.cf cxoepta man believe
faithfully, he cannot be saved"
These clauses are held to apply also to those who
deny the substance Of the CHRISTIAN religion. and
not infallibg TO every person pho may be in error
as TO any one particular article. rubric TO this
effect was drawn mp by the commissioners appointed
in 1859 for reviewing the English Common Prayer
Book, but mons Of these suggestions took effect.
The theology Of the Athanasian creed hss been re-
jested by many orthodox Christians aud, al its uss
in the churches seems to be quite unnecessary and
as IS is not pretended that il cODtasbs any special
saving doctrine not 10 be- found in ths0ther creeds,

the incorporated wealth, rallied to the support
of Gen. Grant, and poured out its millions in
his behalf lt did not generally deny that his
civil career had been faulty it merely insisted
TINT that of bis competitor had been and
would be more so. Then our manufacturers
bankers, etc, were nearly all making money,
and they deprecated any change whatever,
and especially q change which they feared
might prove radical and fundamental. Mr..
Boutwell, in the Treasury had satisfied them
that ho was trying to keep the discount on
greenbacks ranging between 10 and IA per
cent, so that the devices and struggles
of the gold and stock gamblers should
create no "pressurep or "panic." Whether
the means employed were legal or otherwise
was TO them q quite subordinate consdera-
ton, - the issue of millions of new green
backs, or snap sales of millions of gold,
troubled them nOt-sO long as the end were
attained of making or keeping money easy and
the disparity between gold and legal tender
as nearly uniform as might be.
Gen. Grant has a new four years lease of
power, with Congress of which two-tlrirds
to three -fourths of either House viii support
him zealously. He has every facility for eff
fecting the reforms he is said to mediate,
especially that of the Civil Service, while the
abolition of the much abused franking privi-
lege is so squarely promised that its success
would seem to be assured. For whatever re-
form he may give us, he shall have from TIE
TRIBUNE cordial recognition and praise =
where he falls short, he shall have, in the
future as in the past frank and fearless crti-
cism. And, while there are dangerous ten
denotes developed by this canvass, which
foresbadow q government by the rich and
able few, subsidizing and controlling such
portion as they may require of the ignorant
pennlless, venal many. let us never despair
of tho American Republic!

NEWS AND OPINIONS.

The part of THE TRIBUNE, in this canvass,
has been plain. When its Founder, for 80
years its Editor, was nominated for the Presi-
dency, nowise through his agency or at his
solicitation, but by Convention he had sup
ported, and on platform he thoroughly ap-
proved, there was probably no intelligent
human being in the United States who
doubted that it would support him
with all its heart and soul. That it did. But
it had recently declared an independence of
all parties, even more complete than it had
hitherto praciced; and had somewhat en-
phatically asserted the duty of a newspaper to
print the news. That, too, it did.
Day by day, with q fullness of detail never
before witnessed in any American political
journal, it gave every important detail of the
political news of all sides, hostile as well as
friendly, with an absolute impartiality, which
was the wonder of its enemies, and some
times sore trial to the more enthusiastic Of
its friends. We printed more news about
the movements Of the Administration
party than the Administration organs; more
about the Democratic hostility than the organs
OF the Bourbons. There are the files, TO show
for themselves. When the campaign opened,
THE TRIBUNE gave leading speeches, East
and West, till Grant journals had TO
COPY Cofax and Wilson from the telegraphie
dispatches in our columns, and the fullest de-
tails alike of Free Trade revolts and OF
Grant rallies in this city were found in
our reports. The Convention which NOM
