SHERMAN TALKS BUSINESS.

Secretary Sherman, the other day made
a stalwart speech to the New Jersey Re-
publicans, in which he said he wanted to
serve notice upon the Democratic party
that the Republicans had resolved upon
two things, which they were determined
to put through: They were going to see
that every lawful voter in this country
has the right to vote one honest ballot at
every national election, and to vote but
one. If the Democratic party stands in
the way of the accomplishment of these
objects, so much the worse for it. If the
South, rebellious as it is, stands in the
way again, the Republicans will protect
every voter in his right to vote wherever
the constitution gives the right to vote.
IfSoutherners wish to cheat in local cleo
tons, that is their affair; the Republican
party has never trenched upon the rights
of States and it never will. Whenever
national officers or congressman are to be
elected, those are National elections, and
the Nation has the right tc protect them,
and if the present election laws are not
strong enough to do that, it is the inten-
ton of the Republican party to make
them stronger. In the Southern States
100000 Republicans are disfranchised
"With the help of Almighty God" said
the speaker eve intend to right that
wrong" He concluded: eve must as
firmly resist notification now as when
Jackson threatened by the eternal God
to hang the original nullifer, Calhoun
We must have free elections. We are
determined to assert the supremacy of the
United States in all matters pertaining to
the United States and to enforce the laws
of the United States, come what will"
At these words, the house rang to echo.

4 AILLION-DOLL FAILURE.

CHICAGO, Nov. Sit is stated that
Stettauer Bros, dry goods merchants, at
234 Madison street, have failed, for a
million dollars.
On Saturday, Stettauer Bros, whole
sale dry goods merchants on the corner
of Franklin and Madison streets, sent to
their New York correspondents and
creditors the following notice: eve re-
greet to inform you that we are unable to
meet our payments, and have therefore
been compelled to suspend We shall
at once proceed to examine our affairs
with view of arriving at our true condi-
TONS"
New YORK, Nov. 3.-Considerable ex-
element was caused among the dry goods
trade by the announcement of the failure
of Stettauer Bros, q Co., of Chicago, and
there was consequent bull in the bust
ness which recently has been very active.
Their connection with the trade in this
city, was widely eXtented, and it is be-
heved that their liabilities are chiefly
with New York merchants. 1t is esti-
mated that twenty firms here are suffer
ers, but none to ruinous extent.
CHICAGO, Nov 3.-The failure created
considerable excitement in business cir
cles A good deal Of speculation was in
dulged in respecting the causes. 1t is re-
ported the firm invested quarter of a
million dollars in mines in the San Juan
country, but this is declared improbable.
1t is related that on Saturday, transfer
to a $50, 900 was made to a
%H.0,, l.,
and that within five months relative
named Rosenfeld was paid half million
dollars. Among the Indebtedness is a
claim of Claflin & Co., of New York, for
one hundred thousand, another of Geo.
Richardson & Co., of New York, fifty
thousand dollars, and Col. Strong, New
York, twenty-five thousand dollars. It
is supposed the Indebtedness exceeds one
million and may reach a million and a
half.

Expressions of sorrow for the death of
Senator Chandler have been freely tele-
graphed from various towns, cities and
individuals throughout the country. At
the meeting of the Massachusetts, Club at
Boston ON Saturday afternoon, Represen-
tatve Horr, of Michigan, and ex-Con-
gressmen Clafin, Williams and Couch
of Massachusetts, made addresses eulogis-
TIC of the late Senator. At great repub-
Ecan meeting in Music Hall, in Boston.
ON Saturday, Attorney General Devens
made an allusion tn the death of Mr..
Chandler, and when Senator Blaine came
fxward he stilled the plaudits of the au-
dnce, and, while he brushed a tear
aAm his eye, said that no one who had
hssn prominent in the councils of the
nation could speak with any but heavy
heart tonight, After eulogistic charac-
tcrization of Senator Chandler, he said
that when great leader falls it is the
duty of his followers to press forward the
more earnestly with the work which he
leaves: and then proceeded to make a
vigorous campaign speech. In New York
the venerable Thurlow Weed said of
Mr. Chambers work as Chairman of the
National Republican Committee in 1876:
"A more jealous Chairman never worked
for the Republican party. Mr.. Chandler
was remarkably active, and the amount
of work he did during the contest has
been characterized as wonderful. The
Republican party had in Mr. Chandler a
sEung friend and able champion. His
death is indeed loss"

ELECTION RESULTS.

Wisconsin has gone Republican by an
unusual neutrality-suspicious. from eight
cen to twenty-five thousand The Re
publican gain in Milwaukee County is
1929 over the vote of 1877-with Re
publican majority of 1884. Jenkins falls
far below the support received by Mallory
two years ago. Returns from nearly 200
towns in the State, give a Republican
gain of over 5000 which makes the Repub-
Hcan majority as far as heard from over
10000. The probabilities are that this will
be greatly increased by further returns.
New York has gone Democratic with
the exception of Cornell, who telegraphs
that he is elected, by what majority is not
known. His election is due entirely to
the Democratic split-otherwise the Dem,
ocrats would have elected their entire
ticket.
In Massachusetts,, Butler is defeated,
Long the Republican candidate for, Cover.
nor, being elected by from 10000 to 15,-
600.
In Illinois there were only county cleo
tions, and Cook county (Chicago) has a
Republican triumph of 5000 or more
majority
In Connecticut the election was for a
Legislature, in which the Republicans
have majority fourteen larger than their
majority of last year.
Nebraska shows large Republican
gains.
Pennsylvania polled an immense Re
publican vote-much larger than usual.
Minnesota falls a little short of her
usual Republican majority.
From the Southern States the reports
furnished are meagre, the only definite
announcement of consequence being that
Yazoo county, Miss, has gone Democratic.
Milwaukee County did nobly. There
is no longer any doubt that the change in
political sentiment there is permanent.
This county, few years ago, was relied
upon to give a Democratic majority of
5000; now it can safely be counted on for
1000 Republican majority. Out of ele-
ven members of the Assembly, the Demo
Gratis elect but three, and one of these
from the Third Ward where there was no
opposition. -SeRtineJ.

THE RAILROAD UP MOUNT TE-
SUVIUS.
From the London Globe October 1e.

The latest reports from Naples repre-
sent the railway destined to carry tourists
to the top of Vesuvius as progressing fast
toward completion, and the walls of the
station which forms its terminus are al
ready rising above the ground. The line
is to be laid along the western slope of
the mountain, and will be rather less
than 1000 yards in length. The station
itself which stands at bottom of the the
volcanic cone, is $500 feet above the
level of the sea, and the line rises rapidly
from thence to the verge of the crater, at
an incline which averages fifty-six feet in
the 100, but reaches at its steepest part
as much as sixty-three in 100 The con-
struction of the railway has been a mat
ter for serious debate, and it is only after
long consideration that the projectors de-
termined upon the system planned by
the engineer, Olivier. According to the
principle adopted in this plan, the whole
of the inclined plane from top to bottom
is covered with thick platform of wood,
resting upon the lava and other crumb-
ling soil, which would of itself be much
too unsteady to form a proper bed for the
sleepers. Above the cinders on detritus,
of which the mountain-side is composed,
the platform will be like a gigantic raft,
and upon it the rails will be laid with
ease and regularity. The wheels of the
carriages are to be SO firmly attached to
the rails that they can never jump OF slip
off, and the trains are to be drawn up by
means of two steel cables worked by
steam-engine stationed at the bottom of
of the volcano. They will also be pro-
vided with brake so powerful that even
in the unlikely case of brokerage Ct
both cables they can be brought to
standstiil very quickly, even in an incline
of fifty in 100. The only other difficulty
which faced the projectors of the new
railway was that of water supply, for it
was calculated that the expense of bring
ing from Resina enough water to supply
the engine would run away with more
than all the profits that could reasonably
be expected. In order to avoid this al
tentative, two large reservoirs are being
constructed, which are expected, even
under the peculiar circumstances of the
position, never to run. dry.

Il ~ 0uCte7JtH KecOrt{.

Myriads of so-called specifies and
Cures for Rheumatism have already
been brought before the public, and many
of them have even been endorsed by the
certificates of respectable and prominent
citizens, who have derived benefit from
such preparations. There is no doubt
that a great many of these "Liniments, p
"Oils,' ETC., SO widely advertised and
freely recommended for Rheumatism and
painful complaints of a similar nature,
have genuine merit and will relieve GER
tain types of the complaints named; but
when rheumatism, Neuralgia, and kind
erd diseases have become chronic and
threaten serious results, you may rest as
sured that they will help but very little.
Although not recommended as ''infalli-
BILE" the peculiar qualities of St. Jacobs
Oil especially adapt it to those cases
which may be termed Chronic and
which have previously withstood all
known Specifies as the prescriptions of
the best physicians.
We would mention, as an example,
the case of Mr.. A. Heilman, Editor of
The Pittsburgh Republican, who suffered
"AoiA iOI CWO years. TA1GtI
vainly using all the best recommended
remedies and exhausting the Skill of the
most experienced physicians without even
temporary relief, it required only two bot
ties of St. Jacobs Oil to effect perma-
nent cure. Mr.. G. Hanni, well-known
citizen of Youngstown, Ohio, secured for
his wife, who for twelve years had
been constant sufferer from Neuralgia
in the head, the services of the ablest
physicians in the land, bat they we're un-
able to do anything for her; half bottle
of ST. Jacobs Oil cured her. Mr.. VIM.
Reihnhardt, Elmore, Wis, reports the
case of a neighbor who for twenty-four
years had suffered so terribly with Rheu-
matism that, at times, he could hardly
move around; few bottles of St. Jacobs
Oil cured him. ITO cap the Climax"
however, Mr.. A. Neiger, of Talorville,
Pa, writes that his mother, who had been
a continued sufferer with Rheumatism for
the past thirty years, used one bottle of
st. Jacobs Oil and was Immediately re-
lieved of all pain. These are the results
which truly deserve to be brought to pub
lic notice; but they are not exceptions, as
