How is This.

SENATOR TRUMBULL lately made
speech at indianapolis, in which he said
that, "FOr three years the South has
cried for terms, but the Senatorial ring
which has seized upon the patronage of
the nation has spurned it forth, wishing
to perpetuate its degradation that they
might preserve their power; they, for the
purpose of party spite, seemingly animat-
ed by the Evil One himself, have sought
to fire the passions of the people," This
is strong language 1t charges the Re-
publican party in the Senate with three
years of misrule and prostitution of power
so enormous that no man who saw il was
justified in supporting the party which
sustained It. If 'the Senatorial Ring"
offended this year, it offended last year
no less. Indeed, for three years, the Sen
ator tells us, the Republican majority,
which he chooses to call ring, has pur-
sued a most unpatriotic, revengeful and
inhuman course.
And yet within much less than the
three years which he thus describes as the
period of this infamy-indeed, within this
very year, on the Goth OF last September,
at the Republican Convention in Illinois,
Senator Trumbull held very different Ian
guage. Now, it has been his sincere
opinion that for two years previously,
during the entire period of General Grants
Administration, the policy of the Repub-
lican party in the Senate had been an
imated by the Evil One, how could he have
| spoken as followsY Having described the
Democratic party in the most trenchanl

Summers Advice,

AS sample of the manner In which
Senator Summers advice is being followed
by colored citizens in all sections of the
Union, we publish the following series of
resolutions recently adopted by mass
meeting of colored voters in Cincinnati
The resolutions are similar in import to
those adopted in other cities:
WHEREAS, Hon. Charles Simmer who, for more
than twenty years has ably and elouuentlv advo-
Gated equal rights, and contributed largely toward
the liberation and enfranchisement of the coored
race, has published letter In which he advises the
coored voters of the country to support at the COM
ing Presidential election Horace Greeley. the
standard-bearer of the Democratic party; there
fore,
Resolred, by the colored people OF Cincinnati,
now in mass meeting assembled, that, while we un-
hcsitahngly acknowledge the valuable services
rendered obrrace by Senator Sumner and our in
debtedncss 20 him for those services, we cannot
accept mis- advice to assist in placing in power the
party which has ever been our enemy; which
fought through four long bloody years to tear
asunder this Union for the purpose of establishing
an independent Confederacy with human slavery
for its corner stone
ResoiCed, That we are enthusiastically in favor
OF the reelection Of President Grant the standard
bearer of the Republican party-the party which
has always stood, and sill continues TO stand by
the rights OF colored men.
HesOtred, That the surest way to maintain law and
order throughout the late rebellous States and
bring about reconciliation between the North and
/ south, Is by continuing the Republican party in
! power and for the accomplishment OF these ends
/ We pledge ourselves 70 labor zealously for the
/ election Of Grant and Wilson.
the Republican party in this its first national CON
| test since the ballot has been put In hands. we
would not only prove ourselves ungTateful and un-
worthy of the rightswe now enjoy but would offer
| insult to the memory OF 10000 black soldiers who
with other thousands of white patriots, died that
| this country might live.

The Result In North Carolina.

We are at length enabled to announce
with certainty that the Republicans have
carried North Carolina. Governor Cald-
well and the whole State ticket are elect
ed by from 1 200 to 2, 900 majority. The
Legislature is close. The Republicans
would have carried it on joint ballot but
for the unfair apportionment of Senatorial
districts by the last Democratic Genera,
Assembly. The same is true in regard to
the Congressional districts. Fair play
in the apportionment for the State Senate
and Congress would have given us the
Legislature and five out of eight members
of Congress. AS it is, we have elected
three members of Congress, and we have
lost one district by quite small majority,
and another by fraud perpetrated by our
opponents
No election has ever taken place in this
State which involved more important re-
suits, or which was watched with more
interest by the whole country. 1t was
felt that as North Carolina went so would

Der. Hence both sides put forth unusual
efforts for success. The Ku'hlux Gree
leyites believed that, If they could carry
this State by even few hundred votes
they would have a prestige and mora
weight which would swing them through
in November. Many OF their best orators
were brought here andput to work. Hon

Letter from DIR. Livingstone to His
Brother in Canada.

TORONTO, Ont, August 10
THE following is Doctor Livingstone's
letter to his brother in Canada:
UNI, Nov 10, 1871
My DEAR BROTHER: l received your
welcome letter in February last, written
when the cable news made you put off
your suits of mourning, This was the
first intimatiOn | had that the cable had
been successfully laid in the deep Atlantic
Very few letters have reached me for
years, in consequence of my friends
specializing where l should come out on
the west coast, down the Nile, or else
where. The watershed is broad upland,
between 4 0C0 and 5000 feet above the
sea and some seventy miles long, The
springs of the Nile that rise thereon are
almost innumerable. 1t would take the
best part of a mans lifetime 60 count
them. One part, sixty-four miles of lati-
tude, gave thirty-four springs, from calf
to waist deep, or one spring for every two
miles. A bird's-eye view of them would
be like the vegetation of frost on window
panes. To ascertain that all these foun.
tains united with the four great rivers in
the upper part of the Nile Valley, was
the work of time and much travel Many
a weary foot | trod ere light dawned on

penses were paid, | could have thrown
very little more light on the country than

visits to Cazembe, asked for ivory and
slaves, and heard of nothing else. | asked

KILLED ny A FA1sEHooD. -" He is
dead" said friend of ours the other day,
in answer to an inquiry after the health
OF mutual acquaintance. "Deadl you
don't say so. OF what did he dieP" "Of
Credulity," was the reply che believed In
a patent medicine of which the chief in
gredient was forty-rod rum, and it proved
the death of him." This was true; the
unfortunate man had taken for liver com
plaint compound of fiery alcohol and
root Juice, and 1t had killed him. Now,
did that misguided invalid require tonicP
He did; but not spiritous excitant. The
writer of this brief statement is confident,
from his own experience, that if the Mar
tyr to Drugged Alcohol had resorted to
DIR. WALKERS VINEGAR BITTERs, instead
of TO the poison ioih medical name which
proved fatal to him, he would to-day be
in the land of the living. The justly pop
ular vegetable specific contains no destruc
tive element. 1t is tonic that does not
excite, cathartic that does not weaken,
an antiseptic that neutralizes the seeds OF
disease in the blood and other fluids of the
body, and a general Alternative which ar
rests diseased action in the secretive or
| gans, and restores the functional regular
| ity indispensable to health and vigor. We
are no friend of indiscriminate praise
and believe that many patent medicines
are merely poison, but the experience o.
thousands has proved the VINEGAR BIT
TIERS to be all they claim.

est old Tammany furnished funds to a
large amount to influence the result, bal
lot-box suffers and first-class political
knaves, skilled in all the adroit manipula
tions which characterize the school Of
Tweed and Greeley politicians, were on
hand to aid In the work. For the first
time, under law passed for their own
advantage by the late Democratic Leg
islature, the voters we're required to
vote in their own township; no reg.
istration was allowed on the day of cleo
tion, and voters were challenged on the
day of election after they had been regis
tered In this way the Republicans must
have lost several thousand votes in the
State, but we have beaten them against
all odds. 1t required main strength and
hard work TO do it. Our victory In No
vember will be an easier one than the
victory we now announce. Our majority
is not so large as to lull our friends, while
our opponents feel that they will not be
able TO make the effort which they did in
the late contest. The Grant and Wilson
men are united and enthusiastic. They
contend for liberty and life and peace
and safety in their own homes, and they
feel that defeat would consign them to a
fate terrible to contemplate. On the other
hand, Ku.Klux Greeley Democracy con
tend for offices and spoils, and they are
stimulated only by resentment and re-
venge. There are thousands of old Jack
son and Polk Democrats in the State,
who, like Wise and Mosby in Virginia,
cannot be induced to vote for Greeley,
while nine out of ten of those who vote
for him will do so not preferring hiim save
as what they call lesser eyiiii, thus admit
ting that by their votes they are inficting
evil upon the country. The Grant anC
Wilson men will renew the contest will
