The Horse Epidemic.

This disease is acute catarrh or infiuen-
Ia. prevailing at this time as an epidemic.
1t consists of irritation, congestion and in
flammation of the mucous Innings, of all the
air cells and passages of the head and
throat. Everybody knows tho symptoms.
Little medicine should be given, as there
is more danger of giving too much than
not enough. BY careful nursing 80 ont
of 100 will get along very well without in
ternal medicine. Take away their hay
and oats; feed warm bran mash and
clean oat or rye straw moistened with
brine. We have given our horses land we

A PHYSICIAN WHO HEALED HIMSELF
If q railroad director were lashed to every
locomotive, there would be fewer railroad
accidents, and if doctors had to take their
own physic before administering it to their
patients, fewer people would be poisoned.
DIR. Joseph Walker, of California, took
this course when he first compounded the
famous Vinegar Bitters which now rank
as an inestimable household remedy in all
parts of the United States. He healed
himself with this specific before offering
it to the world. He introduced it with IA
simple statement of the manner in which
he had discovered its vegetable ingredients
and been cured, while wandering, sick
and poor, among the California tribes.
He stated what the preparation had done
for himself, and few sufferers from dys-
pepsia, biliousness, rheumatism, lung dis
eases, and many other prevalent disorders,
believed him, tried the new restorative
and were more than satisfied with the re-
suits. In this way the sale OF the Vine
gar Bitters began, and we mention the
fact as an evidence that in this age of in
telligence and inquiry, nothing that is
really valuable to mankind can prove a
pccuniary f;iilhre-even though it may
lack the help of capital, and have to fight
its way against powerful opposing inter-
ests. Within two or three months after
its introduction, the article became self
supporting, and it now yields a magnifi
cent annual revenue.

Mr.. Dawes's speech of Friday still attracts
much attention. 1t is understood that Mr.
Garfield, in presenting the miscellaneous Civil
service appropriation bill now being considered
in committee. will reply to Mr.. Dawess CRU
cisms on the large appropriations that nave
been made, and show that they will not exceed
those which were passed when Mr.. Dawes had
them in charge. The bill now before the COM
mittee calls for about $12,OOO,OOO. Last year it
was just twice as much.
Senator Trumbull has been very unjustly ac-
cused with having accepted fee of ten thou
sand dollars from Andy johnson, with the un-
Outstanding that it was to control his subse-
quent vote of not guilty on the impeachment
trial. The truth is, Senator Trumbull was en-
ployed by Secretary Stanton to act as assistant
counsel in the McArdle case, Attorney General
Stanberry having refused to represent the GOV
eminent. Andy johnson had just asserted that
the reconstruction acts of Congress were un-
constitutional, and it was of vital Importance
that they should be sustained by the best legal

Trumbull and Carpenter by the Secretary Of

Judge Nelson is so infirm that he cannot re-

A Second AppOmattOx.

But once or twice since the surrender of
Lee has a Republican newspaper had occasion
to publish more gratifying intelligence than
our readers will find in our Geographic col
umns from New Hampshire. The victory there
yesterday was SO complete and unexpected
that it leaves nothing more to be desired.
The enemy was baffied, broken and routed at
every point What the first Appomattox was
TO Lee and his symptahizers, the second In
New Hampshire yesterday is to the Demo-
cratic party, not only in that State but
throughout the country; and since the first it
may be doubted if the Pierces and Sinclairs
of New Hampshire have retired SO disheart-
ened as on Tuesday night New Hampshire
was regarded in many respects as the key OF
the Presidential battle field-the Little Round
Top, so to speak.
The contest in New Hampshire was made
squarely on the merits of the administration
of President Grant, and the verdict of the
people is Enthusiastically in approval of his
policy. The Granite State declares that Pres
ident Grant has faithfully redeemed his
pledges to the country, and that its hardy
sons prefer to entrrIst the Government in the
hands of the men who stood by the country
rather than consign it to those who would
even now reverse the results of the first APP
pomattox. New Hampshire declares that she
has no faith in the party that has contested,
inch by inch, every Constitutional amend
ment that proposed to establish equal rights,
and now, at the latest hour, acquiesces in
them. The result in New Hampshire en-
forces scores of political facts. 1t indicates that
the people will not be diverted from their adj
hesion to the organization to give indirect aid
to its enemies. 1t says to Mr. Schurz and his
associates who have plotted to overthrow
President Grant, and whose speeches have
been strewn like autumn leaves over the
Granite State:-"Gentlemen your labor is
lost" 1t says to the Tribune and Mr.
Greeley:-'sYou cannot break up the organi-
zation you have aided to establish 1t says
to the sore-headed place seekers who are striv-
ing on puny way to establish third party
"There can be nothing of the kind. The
Republican party has mission yet to perform
snd the masses who have stood by it will not
leave it until its work is done, which is not
yet" 1t says to General Grant Fight it

PREPAYMENT MATING

PRESIDENT MAKING.
1t is safe to say that aside from General
Grant, no candidate for the Presidency down
to date shows signs Of material strength. The
name of the Temperance candidate is forgotten
by most people already, and David Davis is so
little known that first class newspapers in the
sore head interest speak of him as 'David FL.
Davis of Illinois. Think of Henry Fl. Clay or
Daniel L. Webster or even Daniel o. Pratt
But it is the misfortune of Mr.. Davis that he is
so little known-many laboring men are in the
same predicament-and if he can obtain the
Democratic nomination the people will soon
learn more about him, how hard he labered to
amass his fortune, and other particulars that
distinguish him as an advanced labor reformer.
Gen. Grant holds his own with logged persist
ence, precisely as he moved on Richmond. He
has been tried in so many exigencies and diff
cult situations and has always worked
through to such generally satisfactory results
that people instinctively tie to him. .iar
SCANDALS.
The Remington Arms business as developed
by Sumner and Schurz, had it been as bad as
they imagined or pretended showed no blame
on the part of Grant. He cannot be personally
cognizant of the doings of his subordinates, and
| no culpability has been shown. Whatever
there may be in it there is not enough to excite
the public mind OF alarm anybody, and in a
month it will be as it had never been. And so
| in relation to the New York General Order Sys-
tenn, the testimony of Babcock and Porter ex-
| onerates the President and effectually ex-
plodes the theory of White House ring.

written by them and to them in 1870, it would
seem that they have been considerable and care

brokerage which was a common scandal in the
days of Andy johnson, Mrs. Cobb and Simon
Hanscom has been abolished from the start,
and the Heads of Departments have exercised
