Special to the Post.
PHILADELPHIA, Nov, 4, 1874.
Our figures show that we have carried
the State by decisive majority, electing
the entire State ticket, sixteen Congress
men and breaking the Philadelphia ring
by the defeat of Mann, electing Furman
Sheppard by twenty-five hundred major
ity. Your gains in Allegheny and the
West are almost incredible, and cause
rejoicing all along the line.

county, the Radical stronghold has turn
ed the tables. Yesterday they claimed
900 majority and the election of their
county ticket, but now question whether
they have any majority. Hopkins, Dem
ocrat, for Congiess, defeats General Neg
ley, and the Democrats have probably
elected majority of the members to the
Legislature and also the county ticket.

The election law requires Commission
ers and Supervisors to sign statement
of the vote and tally sheets, before six
o'clock on the day following the election.

active Abolitonist-his connection with
John Brown proves that well enough
and one of his first proceedings in Char
lesion was to give Il dinner, to which he
invited all the prominent colored men of
the city. ! shall never forget that din
ner, nor the great CONSERVATION it caused
me. ltwas not altogether to the liking
of the correspondents, but they came,
nevertheless, as did also quite i number
of army officers 1t would, | think, be
safe to wager that that was the first
dinner of the kind ever had in Char
lesion, and doubt If there has been any
similar to 1t since. Redpah collected all
the colored children, and, aided by noble
women from the North, established
schools. lie worked quietly but earnestly,
and one afternoon, having made flying
visit to the city, | encountered Redpath
on horseback on Meeting street, at the
head of several hundred little darkies,
who were marching along singing John
Brown" at the top of their voices. At the
old Save mart we obtained any number
of !etters-we had n cartfull of them

ishment of slaves. l published a column
or two of these documents in the Chron-
tcle. They were Curious then to Northern
eyes. How much more so would they be
now! Coffin, with Yankee shrewdncss,
took down from over the door the gilt
letters forming the word Mart" and with
the heavy paddock and auction block,
which he also secured, made quite good
thing of it when he returned North, or,

years after Colonel Anderson had hauled
down the stars and stripes from Sumter,

then Senator, now Vice President; Adju-
tantGeneral Townsend, William d. Kel-

in the lapse Of time. To the memories of
those who returned in the Arago after the
raising of the flag must be ever present
the effect of the heart-rending news we
heard off Fortress Monroe, The Joyous
party of ladies and gentleman, happy in
the end of the war, and impatient for the
proposed visit to Richmond which had
just fallen, were surprised by seeing the

Does anybody fail TO perceive that these
frantic appeals are neither the mouthings
of ignorance nor the rawlings of insanity (?
They are rather expressions of the insen.
safe rage of batiied politicians. The in
dependent press pronounced the Admins.
tration imbecile, but the people renstated
it in power. The independent press pro.
nouceu the Republican party corrupt and
decaying, but the people sustained it.
The independent press declared the panic
the sure iorerunner of universal bank
ruptcy, but it has already past away, and
business assumes all the appearance and
signs OF prosperity. How long can the
independent press continue to stand while
Its political and economic prophecies
come tumbling about its ears, branded
false, fraudulent, uncurrent" 1t is be
cause of this siCkening, humiliating series
OF failures that the independent press
cries out Justify, specie resumption"
1t desires to score failure for the Re
publican party, and, in the urgency of It's
Distress it is willing to cast into the scale
the commercial integrity, the industrial
enterprises, every material interest of the
country, if it can for once make the great
political party of the nation kick the
beam, Hence it cries up with gold !;

calamity. So in the case of the cry for
specie resumption. 1t was so violent,
and 50 aggressive in the outset, that there
was danger that the people would be
taken by storm and permit themselves to
be committed to an egregious blunder
But it is too late. The storm has passed
and reason has resumed its sway. Not
one in ten of the forty millions of our
people believe it possible now to success
fully resume specie payments; not one
in five would resume specie payments
to-day if it were possible.
Specie resumption may then be dropped
as a subject OF discussion, to be replaced
by the real question whether the currency
we have is Of sufficient volume to meet
the wants of business The verdict of the
country has been recorded in a thousand
ways in favor of the character of our pres.
ent currency, and there is strong and in
creasing demand that its volume be en-
larged Let Congress discard the very
idea of specie resumption, and address
itself to the practical business of so
amending the currency act as to put it
within the power of the people to regulate
their money affairs with freedom equal
to that which they enjoy in all other com
mercial concerns. The people have inn
periously cried halt! to The folly Of specie
and it will not be long
before the demand for more currency
will be equally imperative,-Chicago In

Look to Your Stoves.

The noXious effects of carbonic acid
and Carbonic oxide gas were recently
illustrated, in an alarming manner, ut
Oakland, Pa, nj u school near the Sus-
quehanna Depot. The school had been
in session about two hours in the morn
ing, when, to the establishment of the
teacher one of her smaller pupils fell to
the floor apparently in aswoon; very soon
three or four others were in similar con
dtion; then the number quickly increased
to dozen, all thrown down and uncon-
sCious. The teacher, greatly alarmed,
dismissed the school, but only IL portion
of the scholars were able To move from
their seats The windows and doors were
thrown open and assistance summoned.
The teacher, with the aid of older schol-
airs, dragged out the unconscious ones. A
physician came; and after long effort all
were restored to CONSCIOUSNESS and recoy-
cred except a few who are still suffer
ing.
II appeared on examination, that the
smoke pipe had been TANNED too far into
the chimney, causing IA stoppage OF the
draft of the stove, throwing all the deadly
gases of combustion into the school-room.
The escape of the children as well rs they
did is matter for congra'u) ltion.
The gases of combustion, chiefly car
b0nic oxide and carbomC acid, are, when
taken into the lungs in comparatively
small quantities, dangerous to life. One
one hundrcdth a to- carbonic oxide gaI
in given volume OF air renders such ais
noXiOus.
Carboni3 acid gas is not quite 40 bad.
1t may be taken into the stomach without
injury. Soda water, as everybody knows,
is water charged with carbonic acid gas.
But when the gas is taken into the lungs,
even in small quantities, its effects are
injurious One Of the great causes Of i'll
health is the accumulation and breathing
of the deadly carbonic acid gas in the
dwellings and apartments in which peo-
pie live. Too little attention is paid TO
ventilation Every one hundred volumes
of air discharged from the lungs contain
four volumes of carbonic acid gas. Now
if air containing one two.hundredth part
Of the gas is breathed, headache and
languor are soon produced. Air that has
been once breathed is therefore highly
dangerous. The average amount of the
gas thrown out by every person is seven
cubic feet per hour a single slxtoot
gas-light in a room gives off as much
carbonic acid gas as person in breath

THE WINDS.

The South wind sings Of happy springs,
And summers Fastening on their way;
The south wind smells Of cowslip bells,
And blossom spanglcd meads of May;
But sweeter is her red, red mouth
Than all the kisses of the South.
The West wind breathes of russell heaths,
And yellow pride of woods grown old;
The West wind flies from autumn skies,
And su..-clouds overlaid with gold;
But the golden locks love the best
Outshine the glories of the West.
The North winds sweep from crystal deep
And Arctic halls of endless night;
The North wind blows DER drifted SHOWS,
And mountains r0bed in virgin white;
But purer far her maiden's soul
Than all the SHOWS that shroud the pole.
The East wind shrills DER desert hills
And dreary coasts Of barren sand;
The East wind means Of sea-blanc he'd bones
And ships that sink in sight Of land;
But the cold, cold East may rave and moan,
For her soft warm heart is all my own.
