The Political Horoscope,

There are thirty-eight States to vote
in the coming important election, and
the nearer we get to the eventful 4th
of November, the stronger aIe our
convictions that the great State ofNew
York, with her thirty five electoral
votes, will be the Waterloo which
wipes out one or the ether Of the OPP
posing Presidential tickets. We give,
for pocket book reference which our
readers can scissor out and have handy
the following "guess" which has been
made by the New York Herald. The
footings demonstrate, so far as they
go, that this State is to be the battle
ground. There is no doubt of that
fact, but we doubt the correctness
of the forces, as they are here pre-.
sented. We consider Ohio to be far
more doubtful State for the Republi-
cans than New Jersey is for the Demo
Gratis, and yet "little Jarsey" is said,
by those who pretend to know what
they are talking about, to have gone
over to the administration party, un.
mistakably. Here is the list, as it

With the merning light, Allie. as usual,
was first summoned to make the fire and
sweep the room, though scarcely able to
support herself ON her tottering limbs.
But ne matter for that. 1t did not con-

yet the idea that her own step-child had
any right to complain, though stepped in
the veriest depths of misery and wretch
edness, want and woe, pain and sickness,
never once entered her thoughts.
Before the sunset shadows fell athwart
the plain, the little girl was prostrated
on a sick bed never to rise again.
Throughout all that long night of pain
Allie lay moaning and in great misery.

The phiDpinD Post.

California has done very good
thing in providing the whipping post
for wife beaters. If there is coward
ly, cruel set of villains on the face of
the earth, men utterly hardened against
every. human and manly impulse,
depraved, brutal, selfish beast, who
can be reached only through corporeal
punishment, it is the wife beater. And
we glory in the wisdom and manhood
of California in restoring penalty
which every part of the country feels
the need of, hut has not the moral
courage to inflict.
A maudlin sentimentality has de-
nounced the whipping post as "relie
of ba-barism," and society is full OF
weak imitators, of people who know in
their inmost consciences that justice
demands its application to certain
crimes, bat are afraid of being accused
of lack of refinement, good tasle or
charity if they advocate it. What is
there on earth that will teach a wife
beater that weak woman has rights
which he must respect if it is not the
lash? To fine him is to make the poor
abused victim pay for the suffering
she already endures. To send him to
Jail is to tax this same victim TO supply
the ruffian with extra comforts from
her toll and humiliation, and to infiict
fines by collecting taxes of every de-
cent man and law abiding citizen to
support in comfort and laziness the
most despicable scoundrel on the face
of the earth. That is what our present
laws do and so far from such penalties
deterring these utterly depraved things
from such practices they virtually
encourage them .-Balt. Meas.

DISTRICT ATTORNEY WELLS, OF WASH
INaTON TO BE INVESTIGATED.
WASHINGTON, May 1.-District At.
torney Wells, Of this city, is to be in.
investigated by the Committee on
Whiskey Frauds. Wells is Virginia
carpet bagger. He was hired as at
torney for the proprietors of distil
lery, valued at $50, 600, in the Rich
mOnd District, which was seized by a.
Revenue Agent named William Prime
and made liable to confiscation by the
Government for violations of the law.
At the time L. FL. Chandler was United
States Attorney for the District, the
case was called for trial before Judge
Underwood at Alexandria. Meantime
a man named Beach had succeeded
Chandler. Beach desired the case to
be put over, and Wells moved that the
case be dismissed saying that he had
an agreement with Chandler that it
should be dismissed if not ready for
fer trial on the day specified. Beach
protested against this, and the case was
adjourned. 1t was put off several
times thereafter, until finally Wells
himself succeeded Beach. He imme-
diately had noHe prosequi entered in
the case.

Nacaf APPROXIMATIONS.
The House appropriation Committee
has agreed to Insert provisions in the
Naval Appropriation bill closing up the
, Charlestown and Kittery Navy Yards,
and directing the Secretary of the Navy
to submit in his report to the next ses-
sion of Congress plans for the sale Of the
navy Yards at Pensacola, Washington,
New London, Kittery and Charlestown.
The report also prohibits any repairs to
old vessels which partake of the nature
of reconstruction, and declares that no
vessels shall be built except by express
authority of Congress. 1t cuts down the
amounts for repairs of the navy from
"a, ,000, 900 to 81 500, 900, which will If con-
Cured in by the Senate, lay up one third
of the navy before the year is out.

RUBBER 1ND CAPCINE.

There is scarcely a branch OF human induse
try in which India Rubber mas not in som
form found its way. Although widely know
and used. but few are aware OF its medicina
viItues and great curative properties. Prac
tical experiment has proven that it is natur
oil reservoir OF electricity, continuing more
than any knowl Bub.tance or compound
Owing to this fact 1t has been used with cue
cess In curing Nervous complaints and Rheu-
matism that were invulnerable to drugs.
It has also been d scOvered that india Rub
Der poss esses all the properties valuable as
aspe inc for Pulmonary complaints and cures
eases. Combined with Capcine it is uni paral-
leled as q Pain Reliever, whether external
or internal. Nearly all the Surgeons have
adopted it on account OF its great healing
properties.
The most efectual way Of using the article
is in the form Of perforated plaster. The
extensive use OF ordir ary P.rfOI ated or Por-
GUS Plasters, is testimony to its merit.
The only objection ever found with tho or
dinary Rubber Porous Plaster ia that it acts
too slow y-requiring days and continuous
wear to relieve pam or TO effect cure.
A celebrated Physician OF New York who
has long made the medical properties of Rub
ber study has succeeded in making gree
improvement in Porous Plaster by introduc
ing Capcine, which overcomes all the iormeI
objections, carsing the Plaster to do in q
few oments or hours that whica 1t former

nIaryla nd for Blaine First, then BrAs-
tow.

Maryland Republican convention
adopted resolutions expressing graft
tude that all Investigations have failed
to touch the honor and integrity of Pre-
sident Grant, whose administration has
been wise, patriotic and prudent In
tue reduction of the public debt and
the adoption of measures looking to
an early resumption of specie pay
ments. They pledge the vote of
Maryland to Mr.. Blaine as candidate
for President, and commend Secretary
Bristow for his efforts to expose and
prevent corruption. The delegates
are directed to vote for Mr.. Blaine as
long as there is a reasonable hope for
his nomination.
The daily gazette., 1876-05-06

Now. good readers, you may figure
as you please; you will see that, as
goes New York so goes the Presiden-
tial ticket nationally. She holds the
balance OF power, hence the impor.
tance OF her vote. The only New
York Republican whe can possibly
carry the State is Corkling. The only
man who can secure the State to that
party is the elegant Senator. If the
leading candidate on the other side
should come from any other State, the
thirty five votes would quite likely be
lost to that party. Seymour or Tilden
can secure New York to the Democ.
racy, certain and perhaps-nay. quite
probable, Bayard of Delaware could
also carry this State. But is doubtfal
if Judge Davis or Thurman, or Hen
bricks, or any other Western man has
Eastern strength enough to insure the
thirty five votes we must have to win
the battle. In the selection of a can.
didate for the first place on the Demo-
cratic ticket, New York must be con-
suited; and, not desiring to at all dis
parage Mr.. Tilden's claims, should
that gentleman's friends find up hill
work IA the st. Louis Convention, they
can fall back upon Bayard first, and
failing there, Horatio Seymour next,
and the harmony of the party, nation.
ally, will be insured, and the victory
against the strongest Republican to be
found, made easy.
