A CLEAR lNFERENCE.-ft IS too true that most of the patented medical preparations thrown on the market emanate from men who can lay no just claim to professional educa- ton, and who are, consequently, totally un- qualified to originate a really valuable prepara- tiOn. But we have the pleasure of stating that we know of one exception, at least to this rule We refer to Dr. Kennedy, of Rondout, N. Y., the discoverer and proprietor of the popular medicine entitled the Favorite Reme dy. He is not a stranger in this region of the country, but regular and favorably known physician and surgeon of Rondout where he has practiced his profession for eight years with degree of success which has surprised not only the general community, but also other members of the medical fraternity. Dr. Ken nedy is a graduate of the Collegeof Physicians and Surgeons of the city of New York, and was for three years surgeon in the United States army during our late war. He has also been member for several years of the Ulster County Medical Society. AS a surgeon he has no superior in the State-being singularly bold, skllful and unprecedentedly successful in his operations. Is it not fair inference. we ask, that when surgeon, who has operated in SO many vital cases and never lost one ofthem, assures the people that the Favorte Remedy purifes the blood, thereby curing Scrofula and all Scrofulous Affections, Bilious Disorders, Kidney Complaints, Constipation of the Bow els, as well as all that large class of ills pecu- liar to women-that they simply take him at hls word and are cured according to promise In fact the Doctor himself does not hesitate to admit that part of his success in surgery is due to the use of the Favorite Remedy in the after treatment of the patient, which preuented the return of the abnormal formations removed by the knife by giving tone and strength to the system of his patients which had become de- bilitated and weakened by disease.

 In conclusion, we hope that no one who may be suffering from any of the diseases for which the Favorite Remedy is recommended will hesitate moment to secure bottle and test the truth of what we herein allege. We are willing to pledge our veracity for it that none will be disappointed or deceived.

A youngster at Keokuk residence where a dancing party was held was taken off to bed while the festivities were still in progress. He went through with his usual devotions,- but his mind was more on the music than it was on heavenly things. The consequence was that he got the two mixed. and wound up his prayer rather hastily with: Dol bless ne f0' Kiste's sate and let me do down an hear zee fiddlers, Amen"

We had hoped TO receive dispatches of so
decisive n character relating to the result in
New York, that something like definite
statement of the case could appear in this
issue, but the cloud which hangs over the
State ticket aside from the Governor con-
tinues i'll its density The Democrats con-
cede the election ofCoRNELL, but claim the
remainder of the State executive officers.
The New York Tribune confidently contends
that the Republicans have carried every
thing outside the Governor by small ma
iority. CoRNELL's plurality, it contends,
is about double what the Democrats cou-
cede.


The returns come in slowly, but they
almost uniformly, as they come from the
strong Republican counties, show an increase

spending increase on the part of the Demo

that it may require the official count to de-
eide the question. We are not of those who

to iubilate much over the ticket when we
get below the Governor We may have to
be coutent with what we have positively
secured, and ordinarily we should regard
that as triumph worth rejoicing over.
\ United States Senator is usually regarded
as a capture worth noting, and in this in-
stance we have Governor to add import

The defeat of ROBINSON in New York
virtually lays Mr. TILDEN on the shelf as
Presidential candidate, and illumines the
prospect of Senator BAYARD. There is no
doubt now that nothing short of TILpEN's
retirement will appease the hostility of
JOHN KELLY. He has shown his power to
throw TELDEN or any other Democratic can
didate at his pleasure, and this fact, so
clearly developed, will very naturally have
the effect to deter TILDEN from performing
hari-kari. On the other hand, TILDEN is "a
man with revenges. The slaughter of Rob-
TNsoN his idol, will have the effect to put
keen edge upon his modification over
this ruthless disposal of his Presidential
chances, and no matter who his party may
put to the front, he will never again light
the fires of enthusiasm in his own sordid
heart for Democratic success, or inspire
them in others. He is far more likely to
raise the war cry of remember ROBIN
"soy" and resort to the assassin's knife,
quietly putting it under the fifth rib
of his party in the Empire State in the en-
suing election.


We refer to this as probability, but the
Republican party must not rely upon it
for future success. 1t must provide for a
victory through the inherent strength of
Republican principles and a judiciously Sc
lected and popular candidate in whom the
people have confidence. Such candidate
can take the State of New York into the
Republican camp, and it remains for the
Republican party of the Nation to decide
that question by its own action in conven-
ton and at the ballot-box. What has been
can be again, and New York has been re-
peatedly carried by the Republican party
The next contest will be National in its
character 1t will decide whether or not
the Nation shall be given over to the con-
troll of those who would, if they could, have
taken its life and left the Republic u ruin
That is the next question, and ON that New
York is loyal.

THE current outcry in the Democratic
press about Republican election frauds up
in Maine is made with the design of detract-
ing public attention from a contemplated
attempt by the Democratic Governor and
Council of that State to count out enough
Republican Senators-elect to give the SEN
ate to the Democrats. This result may be
accomplished by refusing to give certificates
of election to the required number of Re-
publcans. The effect of q successful en-
deayor of this kind wou Id give the Demo-
Gratis chance to steal the control of the

lF it shall so turn out that the New York
Republican State ticket, except CORNELL,
is defeated--a thing which we do not con-
eede by large majority-that is but
small speck on the disk OF victory to dim
its glory. The election of Republican
Governor and Legislature is good thing
to do-and then, perhaps, it is not best that
full and sweeping victory should pass
over the entire North at this time, for that
might tend to over-confdence aud careless
ness in the future. AT all events, we have
broken the Democratic column and have
practically solid Republican North
against Bourbon Confederate South. and
it is to be held right there until the Presi.

Harmony in the married state Is
the first thing to be aimed at. Moth
ing can preserve affections uninter-
rupted but firm resolution never
to differ in will, and a determina-
tion in each to consider the love of
others of more value than any object
whatever on which q wish has been
fixed. Sources of discomfort, very
common indeed, are the little cross
purposes of husband and wife in
common conversation, disposition
in either to criticise and question
whatever the other says, a desire
always to demonstrate and make
him feel himself in the wrong espe-
cially in company. Nothing Is so
goading. Much better, therefore, IL

Two weeks passed on, and the dis

Washington correspondence Of the Detroit


Free Press.


Though there Is some rubbish on
both sides in the Senate, yet in pro-
portion to its number, what single
chamber Of any legislative body in
the world is superior to IL in ability,
experience and capacity for dealing
with questions involving the discus
sion of great fundamental principles
of government. Taking them all in
all, it is doubtful whether the Sena-
tOrial debates i'm the days Of Web
ster, Clay and Calhoun disclose
greater power and ability than will
be found in the discussions Of the
Senate during the coming two years.
In comparing the present with the
past, it is well to remember that in
those earlier days what Daniel Web
ster said or did was but small part
of the Senate proceedings. If one is
disposed to study the Congressional
debates of the present day he will
find much to excite his admiration;
but to do this properly, one must
fight his personal and party prelu-
dices.

the following memorial to Congress was adopted


while Delegate Cannon and representatives Of the
Mormon Church petitoning for amnesty and
promising obedience for their people to the Anti
Mormons in Utah give no evidence that this promise
will be fulfilled. Apostle John Taylor. President OF
the Mormon Church. has declared that the reys-
lations enjoining polygamy come direct from God;
that it is His religion. and neither Congress
nor the Supreme Court had the right
to nterfere that the Supreme Court decision
would have no effect except to unite, confrm and
strengthen the Mormons in their faith. This same

To fht Editor Of The Tribune


CHICAGO, june 2S.-Messrs. Field, Letter d.
Co. complain that their personal property is
valued by the Assessor at one million of dollars.
The West Division Railway, are aggrieved that
their horses are assessed at $50 and their cars at
$3.50 each: The West Division Gas Company
are quite sure their property Is valued at more,

The law requires the Assessor to assess all
property at its fair cash value. None OF the par
ties mentioned will insist that their personal
property is not actually worth the sum at which
the Assessor has placed it, but they claim that
relatively they are assessed TOO high. Such il
not the case. The personal property they own
requires large expenditures on the part OF. the
