The country will notice the fact that in
the Tammany jubilee the other evening, that
Goyernor-elect Ii lden and Senator Eaton, in
the hour of triumph could not conceal the
fact OF their opposition to the late war. The
former leaves the country to infer that the
North was as much or more in the fault
than the South, and condemns the policy of
the Lincoln administration in its conduct.
Does the coming Governor desire to have
the country understand that he believes that
President Lincoln should not have issued the
emancipation proclamation? His party de-
nounced the act at the time, but we thought
the most of them had repented the bitter hos
tility Of 1862 Is Mr.. Tilden "a exception?
Senator Eaton i'll conceals his spirit of malig-
nifty toward the Union leaders when he as
sails Gen. Dix, because he caused the arrest
of a rebel emmissary, who Lad taken refuge
in the house of Mr.. Eaton, then an out
spoken rebel sympathiser, but now United
States Senator. Are bitterness and hatred
yet pent up in the Senator's heart against
the men who saved the Union and the means
they employed TO do it? Is he still unrec-
onciled to the result of the conflict? As
often as wine drives reason and prudence out,
is Senator Eaton going to reveal to the coun.
try the luminosity, which like chained
tiger slumbers in his heart? Mr.. Eaton
should bear in mind that he is now some
thing more than village politician, and that
his words have more weight now than in
1868, when he was a blatant secessionist.
He should remember that he is a United
States Senator. In conspicuous contrast with
the speeches of the two Northern Democrat
ic leaders and ex-secession sympathisers, was
the speech of Senator and ex-Confederate
Gen. Gordon at the Atlanta ratification
meeting, in which he urged his friends to
obey the laws, forget past hatreds and accord
justice to all. Is it to come to pass that the
rebel leaders Of the South are less resentful
and more patriotic than their Democratic
sympathisers in tie North?

Counting Disease,

The individual may be said to court disease who
exposes himselfto the niasmatic influences which
give rise to chis and fever and other maarious cpl
denies and endemcs, without previously terrifying
his system against their nsdous attacks by the use
OF protective medicinal agent. The hardest con-
stituton is by no means proof against such malaes
much less one naturally weak or bilious, or the an
tagonstc power Of which is lessened by irregular
habit Of body. The inhabitants of the bottom lands
ofthe South Of the new cearngs of the West of sub
urban districts where sunken lots exist of every To-
caity OF the American continent, in fact where ma
iaria is epidemic sporadic, declare that the only
true antidote to the virus that they have
ever used is Hostetter's Stomach Bitters. There
seems to be something peculiarly resistant in this
standard preventive and remedy to all hurtful at
mospherc influences. . = =.

VI Thanksgiving and Praise.
We are reminded by the changing seasons that it
Is time to pause in our daily vocation and offer
thanks to Almighty God for the mercies and album
dance of the year which is drawing to a close. The
blessings OF free government have continued to be
vouehsafed to the earth has responded to the la
Dor of the husbandman; the land has been tree from
pestilence; internal order is being maintained and
peace with other powers has prevailed 1t is fitting
that at stated periods should cease from our ac-
customed pursuits, and from the turmoil of daily
lives, and unite in thankfaness for the blessings Of
the past and the cultivation of kindly feelings to-
wards each other. Now, therefore, recognizing
these considerations, Ulysses S. Grant. President
of the United States do recommend all citizens to
assemble in their respective places of worship on
Thursday, the 26th Day of Nov. Next,
and express their thanks for the mercy and favor of
the Almighty God and laying aside all political
tention and all secular occupations, to observe
day as day of praise.
In witness whereof have herewith set my hand and
caused the seal of the United States to be aft xed.
Done at the city of Washington, this the Goth day
October in the year of Lord 1874, and of the
independence of the United States the ninety
ninth.

SENATOR EATON of Connecticut in his
speech at the Tammany jubilee rather pri-
ded himself in the fact that he was an oppo-
nent of the war for the Union and was very
severe on Gen. Dix. He predicted that in
twenty years the Democracy would pay the
entire national debt! "Uncle BilI' must
have spoken toward the last of that banquet
where "wine flowed like the Democratic ma
jo-ities" to use the language of the Herald.
THE result of the elections of last week has
caused the question of the propriety of the
reelection of Senator Hamlin in the pres
ent condition of political affairs, to be dis
cussed in political circles in various parts of
the state. We have the best authority for be-
lieving that many gentlemen, who three weeks
since might be counted certain for Mr..
Hamlin, are now quietly considering the ex-
pediency Of taking candidate, whose cleo
ton will secure greater harmony by giving
more general satisfaction. The trouble will be
to find candidate. Among the gentlemen
whose names have been mentioned in this
new aspect of the subject are Hon. Nathan
Webb, Speaker Blaine, Congressman Hale
and Governor Dingley. Neither Of these
gentlemen are candidates for the position.
1t is rumored that the Democratic leaders are
laboring to unite their party in the Legisla-
ture on ex-Gov. Chamberlain for United
States Senator, with the hope of securing his
election by the aid Of sufficient number of
Republicans. The proposition, so far as we
can learn, does net meet with favor among
the latter. if 4g U f08 EBH {
