The Warning has Been Needed.

Since the exposure of the attempts made
by certain unscrupu lous local dealers, to
palm Oft their coarse astringents, made
from cheap, and impure mat erials, in the
place of the great national tonic, Hostel
ter's Stomach bitters, publ: opinio n has
set strongly against these entries and their
preparations. Their occupation is gone, or
deception il soon willis down. Persons who
tritle with their own health, by using I'M
known preparations, with no guarantees Z"
sustain them, when an established specific,
proven by twenty Years, experience to be
exactly what it is claimed to be, is within
their reach are sure to repent their temerity

Boston Fire.

The following is an extract from
letter received yesterday by the Hon.
Edward Young, Chief Of the Bureau of
Statistics:
The losses are now estimated by the
chairman of the City Board of Asses
sors at eighty millions, including
buildings and all other property, which
is far less than was supposed. The area
burned over, including streets, is be-
tween tifty-nine and sixty acres.
This is regarded rs pretty accurate
estimate of the extent of the loss.
Nearly every Wholesale dealer in
boots, shoes, and leather, in cotton and
wooden goods, and most Of the. whole
sale clothing dealsrS, are among the
sufferers, besides numerous other par
ties engaged in other branches OF bust
ness.
And yet, Notwithstanding all that
has occurred, there is Il general feeling
Of hopefuIncss. Very few dwellings
have been destroyed, consequently
those rendered homeless We're provided
for elsewhere without difficulty.
Already, while the fires still continue
to burn among the ruins in various
places, and the firemen are endeavor-
ing to extinguish those that are on the
outskirts Of the burnt district, hundreds
of laborers are engaged in pulling down
ruined walls and chimneys that were
left standing, and in clearing away the
rubbish.
Most OF those who We're burned out
are preparing to resume business inn
me.iiately.
AS a specimen of the spirit anima-
ting our business men, friend of mine
who was II wholesale dealer in hats,
! caps, and furs, on Franklin street, was
inquiring for another location before
10 o'clock Monday morning, while the
| ruins Of his stock Of goods were still
too hot to handle.
a great deal has been said about the
narrow streets Of Boston. The city
government has decided, if the State
Legislature will give the necessary au-
thority, as it undoubtedly will, to lay
out the burnt district anew with wide
and straight streets before it is rebuilt.
, This will bca very great Improvement,
J and in less than two years time it is
! anticipated that that portion of the
! city will be far more valuable than it
! was previous to the fire. Then it was
one of the finest appearing and riches
| localities, and it is intended that it
| shall not lose this reputation in the flu
tur'.

HOrn.BlOWing.

The editor of the Inteliigencer says
he never blows his own horn. We are
left to infer the reason. for his failure.
There be some horns, neighbor, that no
one can blow, and there be some men
who can blow no horn. Horn-blowing
is one of the fine arts. We acquired
our knowledge from force Of circum-
stances. We had Il horn, as every man,
who comes into the world with any
ambition TO horn things about, fius, and
we found, while yet small ycarling,
that every one was so busy blowing his
own horn, we must needs learn to blow
our own, to be noticed by any of the
horn-blOwers. We commenced with
that little nursery speech, You ii
scarce expect one OF my age and we
learned to blow that, much to the adj
miE.tiOn of our teacher, with great
accuracy, not missing syllable. The
successful issue of this first attempt gave
us confidence, and we let out upon
more difficult compositions. Finally,
we graduated. But our task was more
! complex than that we have blowed
more horns, meanwhile, belonging to
other people than any country pumpkin
of our age. The fact is, where we have
been able to give our own horn a single
little toot, we have had to blow nearly
all of our brains dry on Il hundred horns
| for other aspiring champions in horn
music. People stop us on the street
call us into their back rooms, beckOn
to us from across the way, wake us up
ut nights, drag us out Of our sanctum,
and, sometimes, nearly run over us, to
tell us to blow their horns Il little. The
man at the helm Of State, the man
down in the hole. the man who gets
the first cotton bloom, the man who
marries, and the man who dies, Gust
before he dics,) the big boys and the
little boys, the girls, the parsons, the
teachers, and, Onty an editor knows
who-all, have asked It's and keep on
asking us to blow for them. And why
shouldn't they: Isn't that our bust
ness: And if we blow SO mucl, for
other people, why not blow some for
ourseif, to keep in practice, if nothing
else: An editor who won't blow his
horn has no horn to blow. That's all I!

The New Orleans Republican wants
to know what are onr "nsnnl nrgu-
nients" upon election days. Well get
ting up Il political movement and then
deserving it and going over to its enc
mics, is not one of n",' argument s;
neither is denOuncing Il candidate as
the most corrupt man in the Legislative
body of which he is II member, and
tion supporting the ticket upon which
he stands second, one ofou. arguments.
Nor is it one of O't, arguments, to grow
rich by the Influence OF Il potential
Chief Magistrate, and then quietly as
sign him over to the abuse and evil
ingenuity of his enemies. None of
these things are riassed among our
"usual urguncnts.' One of the best
arguments of the many we have is the
Republican editorials and the $500, 900,
and over, it has obtained from the
public treasury. This Argument APP

weight, too, inSonurh that the people
have concluded to deprive us of il ut all

difference between the Republicans ar

and the other did. over 5nun voters

The Struggle for the State Government.

Senator Kellogg and his friends die
very hard. They made Il common
place canvass of the State, relying up
on Federal Intervention to give them
the succession. Their recent maneu-
vers in the courts, Federal and State,
show clearly where they intended to
make the fight from the beginning,
and now that they have appealed to
their chosen tribunals, Kellogg and his
friends show the energy with which
they are naturally endowed. Atfida-
Wits rs long It's the one hundred ana
nineteenth psalm are showed under
Judge Durell's nose, and suits are
brought before the immaculate Dibble,
in order to restrain everybody concern
ed in the count of the votes, from de-
claring the legitimate result of the
election. Judge Durell and Judge
DibhIc, both feeling willing, grant
the orders prayed for, and the canvass
Of the returns is stopped.
Now, there may have been frauds
perpetratcd, but will any man dare
say one party was not benefited as
much by fraud as the other: VIII
any Republican pretend to deny that
this State was carried for the Republic
cans, first, by fraud, and that their
whole administration, from a to H.,
has been Il fraud: Senator Kellogg
was sent to the Us. Senate by the
Viiest Of frauds. He was nominated
for Governor by Il fraud, and to be con-
sistent, he has proposed to defraud the
State of her sovereign rights by invok-
ing the interference OF tho Federal
courts in her local concerns.
But the man WarmOth has carefully
kept his reckoning. This little game
expected. The new Election bill was
in readiness to be signed weeks ago,
and to be male the law of the State.
The Old Board of State canvasscrs was
such only by sufferancc. When Her
ron and Lynch exposed their design
OF giving the State to Kellogg and the
Radicals, the Exec utive clock struck
the hour Ofthcir final doom, and the
new Election bill became II law by En-
ccutive approval on the Dist. E.rr,tt
Lynch, Heron, I.ongstrcct and Haw-
kinS.
And now We shall proceed to bust
ness. Let It's see if I4Ouisi:tnianS can
govern Louisiana, and whether or not
louisa M has any reserved rights she
can exercise. Let the Legisla-
ture he convened at once, and the
latest solemn expression of the pOpu-
lar will be heard in Mechanics Insti-
tute. Let us see if mat body can be
enjnined from declaring that John Nc
Emery is the Governor and that the
men elected with him should he i'll
stalled in Office.
And the TELEGRAPH here max e., !,

election of IL. G.. WarmOth AS United
States Senator to succeed VIM. Pitt

The New Orleans Republican is en-
tirely given over to conscience. One
little error in it's calculations has led it
to conclude not to publish any more
election returns in tabular form, until
the official report is made. The Re
publican started quite differently. 1t
began with the discovery Of more
than twenty Republicans elected to the
House and large Republican gains on
the popular vote, and at the same time
but few Democrats elected and very
small Democratic gains, but as the re-
ports began to increase, the balances
began to change, and now our coteln-
porary is go disguised it resolves to
quit altogether furnishing election
news to it's readers. What is Il little
singular is, that the Republican claim
ed last week to give the only correct
reports to he had, and it now declares
it's excuse for not giving any is that it
has made an error for which nthere is
no particular excuse We opinc that
there are least 5000 excuses which,
might be given. The Republican is
