The independents iu the United States. Sen

The Independents iu the United States, Sen
ate, like those almost everywhere else, when
there comes contest between the democrats
and the radicals vote with tie latter. MesSrs.
Christiancy and Booth have evan abandoned
the attempt to conceal their real procsiiies
under the thin guiss ct independcntlsm any
longer, and having discarded it, boldly COW take
part 10 the radical caucusc. Judge Davis as
yet remains out Of the caucuscs, but yesterday,
though he voted against referring the creden
tals of Mr. Spofford, when they were referred,
he voted with tho radicals against insructing
the committee to report on them before the Isl
of November. There arc really but two polltl'
cal parties now in tho country, the National
democracy, and its opponents In the various
shapes OF radicals, republicans, independ
eDts, grceubackers, and workiugmen, and
those who arc not with the former are
agaiost it, If this fact were moro generally
recognized there would be fewer OBJECTIONS than
at present. The democratic is Row the great
constitutional party, and though by no mean:
immaculate, it is capable Of accomplishing all
the numerous reforms necessary for restoring to
the government tho purity ADD economy that
characterized it in its earlier days, and will ac
complish them when the necessary time shall
have elapsed TO enable it to gain control OIL
both branches oil Congress.

u Mr.. George Ticknor Curtis

~ Mr.. George Ticknor Curtis,
editor of Harper's Weekly and one
of the great lights of the Republican
party, has written an able and elab-
crate letter to Senators Couklipg
and Herman in reference to the du-
ties Of the Senate in the counting of
the electoral vote, in which he says
that "the more he reflects upon this
subject the more he is convinced
that this monstrous assumption of
power by the Legislature of Louis
lana must receive a decisive check,
or the. evil that has begun there win
spread through the Union, until in
every State the choice ola President
will be devolved upon an oligarchy
of office-holders, clothed with power
TO perpetuate themselves. Let the
dominant party in any State retain
the control of its Legislative power
long enough to pass similar laws,
and it will remain indefinitely in
their power to cause the electoral
votes in their State to be cast in any
way that they may choose to have
them. The virtue Of parties will
not be superior to the temptation.
No man can ever thereafter become
President without the assent of the
most corrupt and unprincipled lead
ers Of the dominant faction. The
people will be utterly powerless to
prevent the perpetual reign of
successful State oligarchy under the
forms of law, and no relief will re-
main but revolution, 1t is now pos
sible to stay the progress of this
mischief by treating the Louisiana
electoral certificate as void"

For many years we have made two
medicines suited to the ailments of a
vast class of sufferers. Thousands of
cures have been made by them, and, in
fact, the word failure could not be coup
led with them. But within the last two
years cOunterfeits of our medicines have
sprung up, dangerous in their close imi-
tatiOn of our Trade Mark To secure
the people we have placed upon each
genuine box of Holloway's Ointment the
fac simile of the signature of our agent,
Mr.. Jos. Haydock. To counterfeit is
felony. We shall relentlessly pursue any
one who initiates this with the utmost
vigor Of the law. We most earnestly beg
that the great mass of the American
people will aid us in our efferts to pro-
tect their health, and help US in our task
of bringing these most unprincipled men
to the bar OF justice. Uniformly refuse
to purchase Medicines purporting to be
ours unless Mr.. Jos. Haydock' signature
is attached to each box of Pills or pot of
Ointment and the end will soon be reach

The National Publishing Co. of
Philadelphia have issued a large and
handsome volume bearing the above
title. The intense interest every
where manifested in the great Exhi:
bition, and the eager desire to OBJ
tain a complete and connected ac-
count of it, will unquestionably
cause this book to have q very ex-
tensiye sale.
This History of the Centennial
Exhibition is not a dry list of the

volume of 874 pages, from the pen
of one of the most popular authors
Of the day. Mr. McCabe received
the constant and sympathetic assis-
lance of tue Centennial authorities,
and enjoyed peculiar advantages in
the preparation of this work. He
went, notebook in hand, through
every department of the Exhibition.
and the result Of his labors is "a work
Astounding in brilliant descriptions
of the great Worlds Fair. He traces
the history of the great enterprise
from its inception to its triumphant
closing day. He then takes US
through every part of the Exhibition
grounds, giving brilliant accounts of
every building and other feature of
interest within them. We are taken
through the Main Building, Machin-
cry Hall, the Agricultural and Hor-
ticultural Halls. the Art Gallery, the
Government Building, and all the
other structures. and our deepest
attention is held all the time by the
descriptions of the rare and heauti-
full objects contained In them.
The book is written with vigor
and brilliancy which render it a
complete and lire-like picture Of the
great Worlds Fair end which makes
it invaluable TO all classes of our
people. There is not another book
ia print which gives one-fourth of
the information contained in this
work. To those who hSgs visited
the Exhibition It will be a pleasing
souvenir of their visit, and enable
to recall the magnificent scenes they
have witnessed, To those who
could not make the journey, the
book is a necessity, fer it will ena-
BILE them to enjoy the delight of a
thorough acquaintance with the great
Exhibition in the qpietude Of their
own homes.
The Work is superbly illustrated.
