How Business Men Feel.

The effort of the managers of Grants
administration to defraud the people out
of their voice in the election has produced
a universal depression of business, a stag
nation which paralyzes all enterprise and
this paralysis will continue until the
matter shall be settled, or until the Re-
publican managers cease their effort to
foist their defeated candidate into power.
Everybody feels the effect of this paralysis
everybody knows how true 1T is. An
evidence of it came under our Eotice this
morning. Mr.. Morris Rosenfeld, of the
great Moline Wagon Company, stated, this
morning, that their concern had Just re-
ceiyed notice from Texas positively
countermanding large order for wagons
and giving as the reason the probability
of national trouble growing out of the
effort by the Republican managers to
defeat the will OF the people in Louisiana,
Florida and South Carolina. He had also
received another letter from the south
suspending another large order until the
presidential question shall be settled
And Mr.. Rosenfeld (himself prominent
Republican, remarked that if returning
boards were to be governed by such law:
as the Louisiana law, elections would
henceforth, be a farce and should b.
abandoned

INTERMITTENT FEVER is so common IN
the country as scarcely to need comment.
The causes which produce it are such as
cold, irregular living, over exertion, low
spirits, night air, exposure to miasmatic
exhalatioDs, &c, In large cities where
edge tools and agricultural implements are
manufactured, the grinder protects his
lungs from the injurious effect of the dust
flying off the grindstone by wearing a
respirator. The coal miner ere he descends
the shaft provides himself with a safety
lamp to guard against fire damp. Now it
is equally necessary for those who are
brought in contact with any of the causes
leading to intermittent fever, to provide
themselves with that well known and
highly esteemed remedy against it, the
HOME STOMACH BrTTERs.
