CHOLERA MIXTURE.-MOre than forty
ton for the Asiatic cholera was easier
than cure. the learned doctors of both
hemispheres drew up prescription, which
was published flor working people, in the
New YORK s'Sun," and took the name OF
1.-The Sun Cholera Mixture" Our con-
temporary never lent Its name to a better
article. We have seen it in constant use
for nearly two score years, and found it
to be the best remedy for looseness of the
bowels ever yet devised. 1t Is to be { al
mended for several reasons 1t is not to
be mixed with liquor, and therefore will
not be used as an alcoholic beverage. Its
ingredients are well known among all the
common people, and it will have no preju-
dice to combat; each of the materlls is
III equal proportion to the ol..e4s, and it
may therefore be compounded without
professional skill; and as the dose is so
very small, it may be carried in tiny phial
in the waistcoat pocket, and be always on
hand. 1t is:
Equal parts of tincture of opium, red
pepper, rhubarb, peppermint and camphor,
/ and mix them for use. Dose, 10 to 80
drops. In case of diarrhea take dose of
ten or twenty drops in three or fo1r tea
spoonfulls of water. No one who has
| this by him and takes it in time will ever
have the cholera. Even when no cholera
| is anticipated it is an excellent remedy for
summer complaint.

PORK Us. CoRN.-The amount of pork
which bushel of corn will make with
good feeding is an important and interest
ing query. A recent experimenter took
thirteen fall pigs from the SOW when nine
weeks old. At the end of the first week
he found the weight of three Of them to be
sixty and sixty and sixty-fve pounds. He
then gave the thirteen pigs ffty-four
OF meal per day, and at the end of another
week found they had gained twelve pounds
apiece. In this case little less than thirty
pounds of corn meal made twelve pounds
of pork

The Loss IN GRAIN.-A series of eX-
periments, instituted to test the average
loss in weight by drying, shows that corn
loses one-fth, and wheat one-fourteenth
by the process. From this statement it is
clear that farmers will make more by sell
ling unshelled corn in the fall at IS cents
than the following summer at 81 bushel;
and that wheat at $1.32 in December is
equal to $1.50 for the same wheat in June
following. This estimate is made on the
basis of interest at seven per cent, and
takes no account from loss by vermin.
These facts are worthy of consideration.

Election in Rhode Island

The election in Rhode Island took
place yesterday, and the result is con
siderably muddled. All parties were
more or less divided ON the liquor qucs-
ton, and this, it is stated, renders the
classification of Assemblymen impossi.
BILE" There was no choice of Govern
or or Lieutenant Governor, but the re-
mainder of the Republican candidates
being also upon the State ticket of the
Prohibitionists, were elected by "the
largest majority ever given in the
State" With three towns and wards
to hear from, Henry Lippett, Repub-
lican and liquor candidate for Govern
or, has 7OS4 votes; Hazard. Independ,
ent Republican and Prohibitionist,
1850, and Cutler, Democrat, 4345.
Only 3 out of 10 Legislative districts
in Providence have elected Assembly
men, and the choice of Governor and
Lieutenant Governor will probably de-
pend on the results of new elections in
the undecided districts.

On the 10Th of January last MIR. Jas.
Lloyd Greene issued n bombastic letter
In the Norwich Bulletin, in which he
said To-day shall cause a salute to
be fired in honor of President Grants
message. Neither Ku Elux Klans.
nor White Leagues, nor any other as.
sociations using arms to execute their
unlawful purposes, can be permitted
III that way 10 govern any part of this
country" And Mr.. Greene did fire
his hundred guns, making the beauii-
tul valleys of Connecticut echo and
re-echo his thunders, approving of the
despotic.overthrow of the civil author
ity OF State by bayonets when no
breach of the peace had happened.
For this folly he has been soundly
striped by the good people of the Nut
meg State, and we insist that he is
entitled to his reward lie issued his
own proclamation and burnt his own
powder to keep the Ku Kluxers and
'other associations" from regulating
the South, and it as little as the Ad,,
mlnistration can do in return to send
General Babcock out about the unfin-
1'hed Washington monument, to fire a
hundred guns or so in honor of the
people of the land of steady habits.
declaring the Administration Leaguers
and other associations from the fool
stool of power shall not regulate the
political affairs of Connecticut. And
hen the bakers dozen, of unappointed
defeated congressman must take a
back seat for day or two, to let in
the last martyr to the third-term and
Force bill faith. He comes with the
freshest and ghastliest scars, and they
must be healed. First mission must
be demanded, then a consulate, then a
post office, then distant governorship
and finally a clerkship, if it must come
to that; but something must be ten
dered to the brave martyr who. has
withered ere his time, and is wrung
with wounds that kill not, but ne'er
heal, for throughout the long future
of his life sorrows memory will be
sorrow still. Let Mr.. Greene then on

GRANTS STRENGTH DEFEATS HAwLEY.
From the Nesc York Graphic (Grant Organ.
General Hawley. whom we warned not
to be guilty Of anti-third term speeches
and whe, inspite OF our warning, perslss
ted in placing himself in an attitude Of
of hostility to the Administration, find
ing that his former majority of l.226 is
changed into minority of 49o. Politi-
clans will find in the election OF yester-
day n profitable subject for study
The voting demonstrates that Repub-
lican candidates who separate them
selves from the Administration gain
no Democratic votes and lose very
large proportion of the Republican votes.
1t was the most uncompromlsing sup
porter of President Grant who was the
only successful Republican Congression-
candidate in Conncoticut, and not even
the ability. honesty and former popular
ity of General Hawley could save him
when he had avowed his hostility to the
Administration. President Grant is to-
day the strongest man in the nation, and
hereafter Republicans who do not forget
the success of Starkweather and tho de
feat of Hawley will scarcely venture to
deny the fact.
CONNECTICUT DOES NOT STAND BY THE
PRESIDENT,
From the Day Neutral,
MI. Greene who fred hundred guns
in honor of General Grants Louisiana
policy, is the gentleman who was badly
beaten for Governor. There is something
quite significant in this. Connecticut
does not seem disposed to Stand by the
President" in either the Louisiana or
abe third-term business, whatever may
be her sentiment respecting the Repub-
liean party in q general way. Had Grant,
months ago, publicly proclaimed that he
would not consent to be candidate for
third-term. the result in Connecticut
might have been different. II he wishes
well to the Republican party he will has
ten to make such proclamation.
THE STORM TEMPERED To TUE sHoRN
PRESIDENTIAL LAMB.
From the Bulletin (Sympathetic Organ.
The defeat in Connecticut is softened
somewhat by the fact that the Republi-
cans had won a handsome victory in
Michigan, where they have carried the
State with increased majorities. The
Democratic rejoicing is tempered some
what bv this circumstance. 1t is difficult
for even an enthusiastic Democrat to feel
much encouragement to talk about a
popular tidal wave and severe condem-
nation of Grant, when Republican tri
| umph in the West completely offsets a

Who Got the COIOred TOtes .

There was time not long ago when
all the papers in this city except the
GAZETTE were disposed to pander TO the
colored citizens for their votes. They
seemed to entertain the opinion that
one mans vote was as good as another
and as they then advanced the doctrine
of equality and social rights they We're
to certain extent consistent.
The Commercial especially was won't
to step forward and champion the color
ed voters; and it seemed to regard them
as so many hostages to the Republican
party, whose votes were claimed without
doubt. The only difficulty being to get
them thrown for its favorites; and this
it mostly accomplished or tried to ac-
complish.
Now, however. 1t seems change has
come over the dream of our neighbor
In its issue of Monday it says
In the Seventh Ward, the colored
vote was thrown solidly in opposition to
MIR. jenkins, the retiring three year
member, who had been named for re-
election"
Now, there certainly seems no obiec-
ton to that remark. But why was it
stated that the colored vote was thrown
solidly in opposition to Mr. Jenkins?''
Was it because the colored vote was
more highly appreciated by the candi-
dater Certainly not 1t was manifestly
because the candidate was ashamed of
the vote should it be known that the
olored vote only was thrown solidly"
for him. A correspondent in Erery Ere-
ming denies the Commercials statement
and says
The above statement, made by, or at
least with the knowledge and consent of
Mr.. jenkins, is calculated to convey a
wrong impression. The facts are as fol-
lows:
Total vote cast. 229

well-known fact that Mr.. jenkins met
the colored men at the house of prom.
lnent colored man in the Ward on last
Thursday night and urged them to give
MIN their support. He (Jenkins) spent
most OF Saturday morning on Orange
street giving out his tickets to the cslor-
ed men. He also had a colored man paid
for working for him on election day,
whereas the opposition resortea to none
