The Prospect of ~ Rational So
luton.

There is little change to report
in the political situation beyond a
decided strengthening of moderate
and law-abiding opinion, and OF
hostility to the reckless and high
handed modes of settlement at first
thought of on both sides. Mr..
Zach Chandler still insists that
HAYES has been surely elected, and
that the Vice-President will surely
declare him elected, and that no.
body else has anything to say about
IL. and that he will be inaugurated
peacefully or forcibly as the Dem
ocrats please, and that there is no
room in the matter for any COM
promise or any respectable differ
ence of opinion about it, and so
on: and the New York Times sup
ports him in this view with won
derrul tick-teck accuracy and reg
nlarity. But somehow this sort OF
talk is disgusting the sensible por-
ton of the community more and
more. If it were not that General
Grant is such an uncertain element
4
in the problem, the prospect of a
rational solution might be said to
be increasing daily. That we shall
by March 4th see the last of old
Zach and his politics we think
may. in any case, be set down as

A Brooklyn man writes 10 the Sun:
= drank more intoxicating liquor from
the year 1851 to the last day Of 1873
than any other person | ever knew or
heard of; and in the meantime, know
ing this sure cure. did not practice it on
my sclf, but, for fun, did practice IL on
many Others, and effected permanent
cures. The remedy Is this: When Il
person finds he must have drink, let
him take q drink Of water, say two or
three swallows, as often as the thirst or
craving may desire. Let him continue
this practice. His old chums will laugh;
but lei him perscvere, and il will not be
a week before the appetite for any kind
of stimulant win disappear altogether,
and water may be taken to qucnch the
natural thirst. II at any time the victim
should feel a craving, let him take the
first opportunity and obtain swallow
Of water, and he can pass and rcpass all
saloons. When he goes nome at night
he will feel satisfied and be sober and
have money in his pocket. COM
mcnced this practice the first day Of
1874, and never think Of taking drink
Of stimIlants.
