WASHINGTON, October4, 1S78.-On
Tuesday the 9Th inst. very impor-
tant elections will be held, and
those in Ohio and Indiana, especial-
~, will have great influence on the
vote in the November States. In
mono of the States is there a clear
fight between the Democrats and
the Republicans, and it is impossi-
bic to predict permanent party adj
vantage on the result, whatever it
may be. But so far as the election
Of members Of Congress is con-
cerned, and the advantages to be
derived in 1880 from the possession
until then of the House of Repre-
sentatives, there seems no reason to
doubt that both the States men,,
toned above will strike hard blow
at Republicanism. Starting at the
adjournment in June in campaign
the chief object of which was an
nounced to be the recapture of the
House, the Republicans have lost
already some Of the votes they pos
sessed. There seems to be no
good ground for believing they can
gain in the West after unexpectedly
losing in the East.
Senator David Davis has now but
four days in which to reply to those
Washington politicians who some>
time since asked him to put himself
on record as a friend of q "new par-
ty." He should remember that
whatever the result of the October
elections, he will thereafter be for
ever too late to take tho lead. If
the result is favorable to those who
offered him a great opportunity they
will think themselves strong enough
to go without him, and will disre-
gard him. If the result is unfavora-
BILE We all know that the Senator
will not attach himself to the falling
cause. He should speak at once.
The Post Of this morning has mn
interesting story Of cipher kilograms
which passed between the Republi. =.
can "Visiting Statesmen" in Louis
lana and Florida, during the mis-,
counting of the votes in those two
States. The dispatches, the Post
says, will be put before the Potter
Committee, and will show that the
Returning Board at New Orleans
daily informed the Sherman-H Hale
committee Of the progress made
in tho count. and that such
information was Us often sent
to the Noyes~ Chandler party
in Florida to stiften the backs of
McLin and others in Florida. This
fact is especially interesting as
Sherman, Hale and others have
sworn before the Committee that
they had no knowledge of what the
result of the count would he until it
was completed.
Speaking Of Louisiana, another
eminent citizen of that State, no less
a man than the husband of Mrs.
Jenks, famous as witness before
the Potter Committee, has been ap-
pointed to- place in the Treasury
by Secretary Sherman. .
For the relief of the yellow fever
sufferers there has been raised in
this city nearly forty thousand doll
lars in morey, and there have been
large cor 6ributions Of provisions
and clothing. Two of our citizens
are now in st. Louis, charged with
the duty of loading relief steamers
with provisions. These steamers
will DO sent to remote localities
whore the fever RACES and which are
not accessible to the ordinary means
of relief. Ono of the boats leaves
st. Louis to day, and others will
follow. ibis idea, I believe, origina-
ted here, and seems certainly to be
q most excellent one. AUSTIN.
LIVER IS K1Na.-Tho Liver is the
imperial organ Of the whole human
system, as it controls the life, health
and happiness of man. When it is
disturbed in it's proper action, all
kinds of ailments are the natural
result. The digestion of food, the
movements of the heart and blood,
the action of the brain and nervous
system, are all Immediately con-
nected with the workings of tho
Liver. It has been successfully
proved that Green's August Flower
is unequalled in curing all persons
afflicted with Dyspepsia or. Liver
