The Union on Guyer's Candidate.
BEFORE ELECTION.

Few men have had the satisfaction of
meeting with such genuine sympathy as
Mr.. Krell met with last year, from all
kinds of men, when it was righteously
proved that he had been the victim of a
wicked conspiracy, conspiracy so wicked
that even fair, minded voters we're led to
waver in their opinions. And all remember
how, after the election was over and Mr.
Krell was defeated, care was taken to treat
the matter of his defeat as good joke.
To day vote will demonstrate whether
or not the man who was so foully abused
last year is to have the recompense which,
| in turn, is his fair show.

1t is gratifying to the proprietor of these medi-
cnes to be able to state that it is now nearly 80
years since they were first introduced during
which time they have been extensively used IN
various parts OF the United States and have given
to patient and practitioner the highest degree of
satisfaction in the various cases in which they
have been employed whether in town or country =,
hospital, private practice they have invariably
given the most decided and unequivOcal satisfac-
ton, and produced the most salutary and beneficial
effects Numerous letters have been received from
some of the most distinguished Physicians in the
country, and from the Professors OF several Med
ical Colleges, all recommending in the highest
terms, the value of these medicines, and their su
periority over other preparations for such COM
plants as the proprietor recommends.
These medicines require considerable care in
the preparation, and the employment Of different
menstrual in successive operations to take up the
extractive matters, and in consequence are most
frequently improperly made and not unfrequently
much impaired, if not rendered totally inert by
injudiCious and unskilful management Of those
unacGuainted with pharmaceutical preparations
Numerous preparations Of Sarsaparilla and Of
Buchu, and various modes Of preparing then
have been given, all OF which, Of course, will diffe
according to the mode of preparation which eact
individual may adopt. 1t is, therefore, OF thu
highest consideration and Importance TO the pub
lie and to the faculty that there should be stapdar
preparations Of uniform strength, and possessin
the most advantage. To effect this, and obviat
the Inconvenience alluded to, have made
number OF experiments to ascertain the mos
effectusl means OF extracting the virtues OF Sar
sspArilla and the Buchu, and to discover the mos
eligible form for their exhibition The expert
ments have resulted most favorably, and it Is wit
much pleasure l offer to the public and tn
faculty my Compound Fluid Extracts, whic
contain ell the virtues Of the medicines, and al
the most active preparations of either which can

ance of baggage or other articles from any
such steamboat landing. railroad station or
depot" Unless this privilege is to be exer-
cised under careful police supervision we
fear it will lead to q return to the old system
of struggling and fighting for passenger
baggage. which few years ago proved SO
annoying to persons arriving in New York.
At that time traveller would find his valise
absolutely wrested from his hands by the
rival expressmen in their efforts to secure the
job Of conveying it to its destination, and the
New York railroad depot or steamboat land
ing was place ofterror to strangers. There
fore we say that if the present ordinance
contemplates reopening the depots to these
express agents it should certainly not re-
ceive the Mayors approval without adequate
restrictions under the control of the police
There are other features of the ordinance
which demand careful scrutiny. It is evil
IDENTIFY very loosely drawn. and while de-
crease in the rates now charged for the
baggage express service may be desirable it
would scarcely be worth while to secure that
advantage at the expense of a return to the
very Objectionable system of ''touting" which
prevailed few years ago.

In our cable dispatches will be found
some expressions Of the opinions entertained
in Europe of what has been done by Stanley
in his latest achievement in Africa. One
of these opinions is from Professor Kiepert,
of the University of Berlin. Kiepert is one
of the highly distinguished geographers OF
Europe, and in this branch of science is
reputed a learned man in Germany, where
people do not get such reputation on lit
tie knowledge. His opinion is, therefore, one
of real value. His declaration on the object
of SANKEY'S journey was that the actual es-
adjustment of the identity ofthe Lualabaa and
the Congo would be the greatest feat in geo.
graphical discovery ever accomplished by
any single individual. Stanley's dis
covery, therefore, is, as weighed in
this mature and capable judgment,
an achievement of the first magnitude in
exploration. 1t will be seen that this opin-
ion differs widely from those expressed by
the great geographers who write for some Of
our contemporaries. On all hands men who
are either capable judges or who are them
selves distinguished for their courage and
success in exploration unite in generous
and almost enthusiastic congratulations to
the explorer. Captain Burton's word of
welcome is hearty and manly, and in the
voice Of the press throughout Europe there
is heard only the same tone of high appre-
citation and praise.

The proposition of the directors of the
Long Island Savings Bank to pay eighty
per cent to depositors, half in thirty and
half in sixty days, or to pay the full amount
of deposits in instalments, in six, twelve
eighteen and twenty -four months, provided
the Attorney General will withdraw the
proceedings he has instituted against the
bank, is said to meet with favorable re-
Spouse. This statement comes, however,
from the officers of the bank, and should,
therefore, be received with some caution.
Ex-senator Perry, the counsel of the bank,
according to the Brooklyn Eagle, makes the
assertion that many of the depcsitors ''are
surprised at the liberality of the Offer"
That is 10 say, the people who have been
induced to place their money in the keep
ing of the Long Island Savings Bank, in
the belief that the institution was in as
sound condition as the sworn statements
of its officers have alleged it to be, are "sur-
prised" at the ''liberality" of the men who,
having victimized them by false representa-
tions, now propose to rob them of only
twenty per cent of their deposits.
The depositors will be fortunate if they
receive back eighty per cent Of the money
they have been foolish enough to intrust to
the bank. But they cannot safely rely on
the honor of men who have combined to
cheat them into the belief that the bank was
solvent in order to obtain their deposits If
the directors and trustees mean honestly to
pay the amounts they propose they can do
so through receiver as well and better than
through any other agency. If they intend
to secure the depositors it must be by
making good the deficiency out of their pri-
vate resources. This they can do through q
receiver. If the bank and its assets should
be left in their own hands there is no GER
tainty that their promises would be carried
out. The bank has been insolvent since
1869 and has been q fraud on depositors
ever since that year. If the trustees and di-
rectors are now repentant and are willing to
make the best amends in their power to their
victims they certainly cannot object to do 80
through the medium of an honest and disin-
terested receiver. The very fact that they
are so anxious to retain the trust they have
abused in their own hands is sufficient to
cast suspicion on their motives.

The Now Jersey Repubiica ns.

The Republican Convention at Trenton
yesterday nominated Ex-Governor Newell,
thoroughly respectable gentleman, for Gov
ernor, and took pains to point ont in the
platform that he is not 'carpet-bagger"

unkind cut at their former Southern allies
and proteges, whom, nevertheless, Messrs.
Robson, Foster and others refused to give
up to the Presidents policy, the plat
form opposes subsidies demands six
per cent as the legal rate of interest cod

Gratis i; 'points with pride" to the republic
can party, and praises the good intentions of
the President, but fights shy of his policy.

Mr.. Newell will give General Mcclellan
trouble to beat him.
