The item in the last issue OF the
organ, in regard TO futile and
Roberts is about as near correct as
the sable" editor of that sheet can
get anything. The facts in the
case are, that ali along down the
shore the friends of Roberts made
strong fght Of Alpena against
Altoona county, and the "about as
many votes" that Roberts got in
the two counties falls short of the
number that Mr.. Tuttle received
in Alpena county.

PeriIs by Land.

Within the limits of our own coun-
try are to be found almost all the
variations of climate known to the
haoitable globe. But extensive as Is
orr domain, the locomotive running at
almost lightning speed, conveys the
traveller in few hours from tie healthy
mountain district to the sgue breeding
plain, and even from the sdnfY groves
OF the south to the ice bound shores of
the northern lake. In making these
rapid Journeys the travellers are sub
tected to those severe climatic influen-
ces so productive of sickness and dis
ease. 1t is therefore of vital Importance
that he should be provided WITH a RENE
dial agent that will not only cure, but
likewise prevent sudden attacks of dis
ease. The Seven Seals or Golden Won
der, which is counter irritant, a dis
infectant, diffusive stimulant, an
anodyne, a nervine and tonic, is a
sure prevention AMI q mo less effectual
cure of feveTs, ague, dlarrhGa, dysen-
terry, and all other ailments to which
travellers are especially liable. No
traveller should fail to provide himself
with supply or this valuable remedy
before starting tron his journey.

DEFEAT OF THE GREAT CON
SPIRACY.

| WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.-The predic-
tion has been fulfilled and the conspiracy
not only to declare Hayes President by
fraud, but to maintain the false co mt nv
force, is crushed out. All the work o.
Chandler, Cameron, Grant, Gould, Nor.
ton, Sherman, and their confederates tc
retain possession of power and to run the
Government as a close corporation, has
been shivered to atoms, and has left it:
authors disgraced and postrate.
Ii is not the success of the Electoral
Dill alone which gives relief to the public
mind, and releases the strain of anxiety
under which every material interest
has suffered, by the fear of imuendino
perils. There is still another cause which
adds moral force to this is event. The
revolutionary leaders who have hereto
lore controlled the Republican party, and
shaped its policy from the Senate Cham
Der, are now desposed and dishonored.
Morton, Sherman, Logan, Sargent and
that faction, when put to the test ly con-
rageous opposition within their own
ranks, had no following but the carpet
baggers and few extremists like them
selves. The intellect, the worth, and the
craftsmanship Of the party, were all solid
against them.
Upon the division, when the two op-
posing wings confronted each other in the
final struggle for sscendancy, Morton
could not muster full third of the party
strength, which had often and so blindly
followed his leal. He had, at least, the
merit of audacity, and did not sneak
away from responsibility like Sherman;
or seek to evade the issue he had delibe-
rately made, by eating his own words in
presence of The Senate.
When the Senate adjourned on Thurs
day morning the Marshal's baton may be
said to have passed from the hands of
Morton into those of Conkling his Junior
by six years. With this change of leader
ship, thange of policy must inevitably
follow, for public opinion has stamped
with the strongest disapprobatIon the
whole system by which corrupt Govern
ment has been imposed on the South;
plunder has been protected; society has
been disorganized; the dregs have been
thrown to the surface as the ruling power;
and the peace of the country, as well as
prosperity, has been constantly lnenaced
by organized partisan rascality.
An atroclous system like this which
for ten years has been burning Ieproach
to our civilization, could not always
stand. 1t would have fallen long AGO.
but for the support of Grant, who was
captured by the extremists, and cheated
with promises they had now power to re-
deem. Its doom is at last settled; for
even without the event which has routed
the Jacobln leaders, the end ofendurance
mad come, and the people of Louisiana
and South Carolina had determined to
pay no more tribute to the calpet-bag

THE ENGLISH PEERAGE.

There has just been published, by Or
der of the British government, evidently
for the purpose of relieving the Tory par
tty from the imputation of having largely
increased the peerage for mere political
purposes, list of the peers ere ated by
Tory and Wing governments, from the
death of George w., in June, 1850, to
the close Of Mr.. Gladstone's adIninistra-
ton, in February 81, 1874. 1t shows that
at the latter date the House of Lords con-
sisted offs royal dukes, 9 archbishops, 21
dukes, 20 marquises, 12S earls, 81 vis-
counts, 25 bishops, 262 barons, Or a total
of about twenty-five per cent. ND re than
at the death Of George w., since which
period lob new peers had been created by
Liberal Ministers as against 30 by Con-
servative; 20 raised from the Irish peer
age by the Liberals, and by the Conser-
vatives; whilst 16 heirs-apparentto peel
ages have been called to the Upper-House
by Liberal Ministers, as compared with 4
by Conservatives. Added together, these
numbers show that 50 belong to The reign
os William w., and $50 to that Of Queen
Victoria, and that in the grand total 1853
votes have been created in the House of
Lords by Liberal to 80 by Conservative
administrations. In the same period
(nearly A years) POI baronetcies were
created by Liberal and As Conservative
governments. These rather curious de-
tails mnst go far to acquit the Tory lead
ers of having literally dispensed high
hereditary honors merely to strengthen
themselves in the Upper, or rev ard par
tisanship in the Lower House.
