FRIDAY, August 9--8 p. M.
On Change to-day wheat ruled In favor Of holders
upon light arrivals and more favorable news from
Liverpool. The demand for export was good. New
wheat is dull. The market closed at slight ad-
vance, the high prices asked for spring checking
business Winter Is higher and scarce The flour
market exhibits the effect OF similar influences and
closed active and higher for all grades. Cotton was
quiet but irmer at 2oAc for low middllng and
215lc. for mddling.
GOLD STEADY AT 115h.
The gold market shows remarkable steadness,
and apparently entirely in the hands OF the gold
clique. The opening sales were at 1857, after
which the premium went OF to i15's, but the back
Of the days business was at 115E, which was like
wise the closing figure. The problem involved in
the future course OF the market Is getting to be q
simple one. There are legitimate causes at work
sufficient to produce strong feeling, but any con-
siderable advance Is certain to be resisted from
quarters that view the present movement thus far
with indifference. Besides, as is always the case,
an undue advance would bring gold upon
the market, to realize the profit afforded, that
would otherwise be withheld The most dangerous
outlook comes from the large amount OF specu-
lative bills OF exchange recently sold and still
Offering it, upon maturity sixty days hence, cotton
should not come forward In sufficient quantity to
meet them. Here is serious possibility of flnan-
cial disturbance, which calls for cautious prcpara-
ton. The short interest, 1t is apparent,
is being largely eliminated, the carrying rate
ranging as high five per cent to-day,
from that down to nat for borrowing. The opera
tions of the Gold Exchange Bank were as follows =

That there were thousand


THAT there were thousands
of American citizens who refused
to go to the polls on Tuesday,
November 5th, and exercise the
right of suffrage, there is not the
slightest doubt, and no matter
what disastrous consequences
may flow from the perpetuation
of Radical rule in the country,
these Indifferent freemen will
scarcely now complain of the
condition of affairs which their
refusal to vote in some degree
helped to bring about. There
was an old Athenian law, which,
under pain of punishment for
disobeying it, compelled every
citizen Of Athens to take part in
the political questions of the
day, and required him, in every
election, to vote in favor Of one
candidate or the other. Such a
law might, or might not work
well here; but if it existed, ii
would have the effect of forcing
every man to carefully examine
the questions that arose for de-
cision among the people, and
would compel him to contribute
his share in the selection Of our
rulers. We can readily under
stand that the corruption which
exists in political contests in
this country, created such dis
gust among good and yirtuous
citizens, as to induce many Of
them to decline participating in
the struggles; but surely this is
not the best way to correct the
evils in our political system
The time has now come when
every one who wishes to pre-
serve our Liberties must give
these matters his personal con-
sideration, and assist, with his
influence and vote, in securing
the election of the best men Of
the Republic to official stations

The Horse Disease.

ClNeINNATI, Noval2 The epi-
zootic is still increasing here
On the Seventh, John, Third and
Fourth street lines the cars are
|all off. Pendleton, Covington
and Vine street cars are running,
but with reduced forces. The
number of drays are much re-
duced. A few hack horses are
yet seen, but in the main have
been withdrawn. Transfer and
beer-wagons are being hauled by
oxen.
The general impression among
our citizens seems to be that had
the Boston fire department not
been delayed in reaching the
locality of the fire by a lack of
horses, the calamity could have
been averted, and attention has
been directed to our fire depart
ment, which is crippled by the
disease among it's horses. Yes
terday the council requested the
board of supervisors of the fire
department to place the depart
ment upon an efficient basis,
and last night the board resolved
that each captain of a fire com
pany should be instructed to Or
ganize, under the direction of the
engineer of the department, a
company of fifty to a hundred
men to draw the apparatus to
and from fires, the men to be
paid for their services.
LATER.-The streets are com
paratively empty Of horses TO-
night. The'disease is spreading
rapidly in a mild form. Only
four or five deaths have occurred.
Horses taken last Friday night
seem to be recovering. Freight
is accumulating at the river and
railroad depots and trade is in
terrupted greatly. Buyers of
produce and heavy articles want
sellers to deliver, which the latter
decline. The American Express
company uses oxen.
PITTsBURG, November 1.-THE
horse disease continues without
abatement, and is seriously in
terfering with business at the
wharf
PoUGHKEEPsIE, N. Y, Nov. II.
The horse disease in this and
adjoining counties is widespread,
and many horses are dying.
Lung fever follows the disease
in many instances.

How the Grant Papers
Abuse Liberals,

The GRANT papers are now
abusing the Liberal Republicans.
Speaking of j. f. FARNswoRTH, a
member of Congress from Hi
nois, the Pittsburg Dispatch, a
bitter Radical paper, sustained
by the GRANT corruption fund,
says:
John F. Farnsworth is de-
feated in the Fourth Illinois
Congressional District, and no
one but himself will regret it.
For years he has been honored
by the Republican party, and at
the nominating Convention he
was a candidate, but was not
chosen. Thereupon he discov-
cred that the Republican party
was Corrupt" and he plotted
for and secured the Democratic-
Liberal nomination under the be-
lief he would carry enough of
his old friends with him to re-
turn him to Congress. He has
been soundly beaten and the re-
suit shows that he no longer ex-
ercises any influence. The peo.
pie Of his district have no more
respect for a traitor to principle
than have those of Pennsylvani;
for Curtin, Forney and Mcclure
OR those Of Massachusetts, fol
Sumner and Banks. Farms
worth, and those worthless, will
Trumbull, may consider them
selves out Of politics, out 0
pocket, and out Of the esteem Q
their fellow-citizens.

gloss and freshness Of yolkth. INN
hair is thickened, falling hair checked,
and badness often, though not always,
cured by its use. Nothing can restore
the hair where the follicles are de-
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and
decayed; but such as remain can be
saved by this application, and stimu-
lated into activity, so that a new
growth Of hair is produced. Instead
of fouling the hair with pasty sedi-
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling of, and
consequently prevent badness. The
restoration of vitality it gives to tho
scalp arrests and prevents the forma-
tion of dandruff, which is often SO un-
cleanly and offensive. Free from those
deleterious substances which make
some preparations dangerous and iniu-
rious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not harm it. IF wanted
merely for a HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found SO desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambria, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it rich, glossy
lustre, and grateful perfume.
