Party Records.

Im his recent speech at South Bend, lai, Vtoe President Colfax spoke as follows touching party records: j Frankly and fully I have thus reviewed the results of thia administration, and replied without a word of bitterness to the charges of its enemies. Why, let me ask, In conclusion, thonld the administration or the Republican Congress be driven from power? What do you desire above all things from your govern* mint ? Is it not the fkilhful execution of the laws, the maintenance of peace, economy tn administration, honesty in officials, the preservation of the national honor, ano all possible relief from public burdens? And have I not shown that, ever since the Executive and Legislative Departments were brought Into harmony and political accord by the inauguration of President Grant, these essentials of a good Government have been realized? The scandals which previously dishoncred the administration have ceased. The texes have been frdthftally collected. The debt has been steadily reduced. The National expenses have been retrenched. The National credit has improved. The burdens of the people have been largely reduced. And those priceless words, honesty and economy, are written cn the portals of the White House.

But I have noticed recently, as a last card of our opponents, the preparation, by their National Democratic Committee of sample cards of goods, with the amount of their cost in gold in European nations, under their cheap wages of labor and their price here in currency, under our American wages of labor It is hard to see what they expect 40 gain by this. If they mean that, this disparity could be remedied by cheaper wages for labor here, it might explain why, when Senator Stewart, of Nevada, and other distinguished Republicans, sought to pass a bill at the last session prohibiting the importation, under contract, of servile labor, and strengthening the law passed by the Republican Congress cf 1862 which was in tended to prevent the coolie system of slavery in this country, prominent Democratic Senators talked against time day after day, condemning its details, and finding fault with its provisions, as not satisfactory to them, until at last the great pressure of the annual appropriation bills caused it to be postponed till the next session. I will not assume that their object was to seek to manufacture p lrticsl capital for the canvass tut of it; but Ido say that their unwillingness to co operate in a reasonable bill that could have been passed, and tbeir prolonged and- antagonizing speeches, when time was so valuable, and in a body where no previous question existed to stop an interminable debate, caused the postponement for.the session of the bit! I have referred to. As to the value to the country of adequately remunerated labor I have already rpoken; and need not repeat the argument. Whatever the object of this election device may be, I have one comprehensive answer to make to it. That for every dollar the nation has to pay for interest on the public debt, for every dollar of taxation, internal and externa), over the ordinary and economical expenses cf the government, a Democratic rebellion is responsible. Ido not deny piat there are, and were, many patriotic men inside of the Democratic party. It is not my habit to arraign them, sweepingly and enmasee, as their last National Democratic Platform arrainged all of us as guilty of “corruption and extravagance exceeding anything known in history,” and “unparalleled oppression and tyranny;” and that if we won in that national contest, they would have to “ meet a subjugated and conquered people, amid the :uins of. lib erty and the scattered fragments of the constitution!” But no matter what good men may still remain in its ranks, I speak of the Democratic party, its organization, its inspiration, its leadership, and its his lory. That is kr own of al) meh and cannot be denied.. Three points in illustra tion of its responsibility, as a party, for the rebellion, and the prolonged conflict to suppress it, can never die argued away: 1. Every State which rebelled had a Democratic Governor. Every Executive officer ofthe Confederacy was a Dimocrat—its President, Vice President, Secretary of State, Secretary of the Treatury, Secretary of the Navy and Postmaster General, without an exception. Every leading commander of its armies was a Democrat. Lee, Beauregard, Wade Hampton, Stonewall Jackson", Pemberton, Ex-Democratic Vice President Breckinridge, Hood, Sidney Johnston, and all. Of only the Republican party can it be eaid, that not a single one ever signed an ordinance of secession, or fired on our flag, or shot down its defenders. 2. The administration in power, which could have crushed it in its inception, but did not, was Democratic. Its President, Buchanan, gave it aid and comfort by proclaiming in his message of December, 1860, that “the Constitution has not delegated to Congress, or any other department of the government, the power to coerce a State into submission, which is attempting to withdraw or has actually withdrawn from the Confit-racy," as he called the United States: ’ and that “the Sword was not placed in their hands to preserve it (the Union) by force.” ft was a Democratic Secretary of Wsr who emptied the Nonhcrn arsenals of guns and filled Southern arsenals with them, thus arming the South, and also disarming the North. It was a Democratic Secretary of the Navy* who scattered our navy to the ends of the earth. It was a Democrat c Secretary of the Treasury who stabbed our national credit in that dark hour, as he hoped to its death. 8. Every man who in the North shouted “No coercion”—every One who. predicted that the rebellion could not be suppressed, every one who denounced all measures devised for its overthrow, every one who stigmatized the brave soldiers as Lincoln hirelings, every one who demanded at the very crisis of the war an immediate cessation of hostilities and insisted that the war was a failure, as resolved on in the National Democratic platform of 18G1, every one who branded the faithful Lincoln as a Nero or Caligula, was a Democrat in good and regular standing with his party. Nor can it be forgotten that when Jeff. Davis denounced Congressional confiscation, while the Confederacy were confiscating Union men’s property, they were Democrats who echoed that denunciation; when Jeff Davis indulged his wrathful expletives at the employment of colored soldiers to help put down his treason, they were Democra's. who echoed his invective; when Jefl. Da via anathematized the

Emancipation, they were Democrats who echoed the anathema; and when Jeff. Davis slandered Lincoln as a monster, they were Democrats who repeated his invectives. Thus, instead of a thoroughly united North, which could have crushed the conspiracy in a year, we had a divided North; and for th s prolonged ■war, irith its terrible losses in blood and treasure, those who acted as I have' stated were responsible. For our debt, therefore, and for our taxes, they have a solemn responsibility, and cannot escape it, No show cards, no sophistry, can relieve them from it And while taxes remain, every stamp you put on a deed or a mortgage is a stickingplaster to remind you of a Democratic rebellion—Democratic in its origin and officers—Democratic in all the aid and sympathy it received in the North—and sorrowed over, when it was crushed by our gdtal by Mrol. * f , I turn from this record to the record o;

the Republican party, which has been written upon the brightest pages of our nation’s history. Amid every possible embarrassment and stumbling block, it has gone on in its noble work of liberty and humanity, of justice and reform, of advancing progress and national development. Three years of the ten since It won its first national victory, a recreant President so shameftilly wielded the Executive power, that mistaken cor fide nee and a sad assssslflation had given him, against the party which had. honored him by its bestoWai, as to win 6.5 votes for renomination, and an endorsing resolution, from the National Convention of the Democratic party that four years before had so bitterly .opposed his election. War, for which it was not responsible, had filled the land with graves, loaded it with debt, rendered unpopular taxation a necessity, and checked the national growth and its stately steppings towards its magnificent future. But, in spite of all these drawbacks, what has it done for the republic ? Look at the contrast I Ten years ago meh were mobbed and hung for saying they preferred freedom to slavery. Today, liberty enthroned in our land. Ten years ago, the overseer; the lash, the coffin, and the auction block, To-day, a race lifted from bondage into self-reliant manhood and womanhoed. Ten years ago, an arrogant oligarchy breathing threatenings against all who resisted their purposes. To day, none so poor as to do them reverence. Ten years ago, a nation divided by conspiracy and treason, and a hostile government inaugurated upon our soil To-day, a nation united, and more powerful because more free. Ten years ago, a constitution recognizing property in man. To-day, a regenerated constitution guaranteeing equal rights and national protection to the poorest.

Look, too, at the position our land occupies among the nations of the earth. With all the croakiugs of our enemies as to the burdens of taxation, the legacy of the rebellion in which our last National Democratic administration ended—with all the false charges that the poor are unjustly oppressed—there is no nation in all inc world to which the hearts and hopes ofthe poor in every country turn, as they do toward our .Republic. Go to the banks of or the Rhine, to the .Baltic or the Adriatic, upon the Alps or the Appenines, and to what land does the poor man look, with longing in his heart, hoping that he may there make for himself, and the family that God has given him, a home, and enjoy civil and religious liberty ? All around the world, from nation to nation, and continent to continent, you may ask this question, and the eager, earnest answer is always “America.” ■Whenever the poor or the oppressed seek to better their condition, their thoughts, their hopes, their eyes, their hearts are all turned toward this republic of ours. Who can dispute or misunderstand this testimony of the toiling millions of every nation and language and ereed ? And is it not an irrefutable answer to every charge that the republic has been injured under the government ofthe Republican party? And for all who come with their household goods, to become of us and with us, to share our destiny, to endure our trials, or to participate in ouw prosperity, to secure by their toil a home, to live and rear their children in the true spirit of devotion to our free institutions, there is room and to spare. Our mountains welcome them to their mineral wealth; without fee or reward. Our Western plains beckon them to the free farms and free homes Republican legislation proffers to all who will come and possess and cultivate the land. Or, if they prefer to live in the older States, in the workshop and factory they will find faithful labor remunerated far beyond the rates it commands in the Old World.

The future history of the Republican party can be judged by'tls past; and its pledges and its acts show what that future will be .- 1. It will surely and resolutely maintain its work of enfranchisement, of reconstruction, of making all citizens equal under the protection of our supremo law, against all hostile attempts—so that, by tuc final settlement of these questions, so happily ended and so faithfully to be maintained, the nation shall have stability and peace, and this once exciting issue be regarded as decided for all time. 2. The work of retrenchment of our national exnenses—of the abolition of all needless cffices—of the elevation and improvement of the civil service—and of the saving of every possible amount to the people—will go on as faithfully as during the past eighteen months. 3. The pledge of the last National Republican platform that “taxation shall be equalized and reduced as rapidly as the national faith will pemit," will be faithfully carried out, as already inaugurated undivided Republican vote of the recent Congress ; and, as the national obligations diminish, the burdens of taxation, increased as they were during the war expressly to meet these obligations, will be justly reduced. 4. The debt will be funded at a lower rate of interest, and “having been con tracted for the preservation of the Union for all time to come, will be extended over a fair period for redemption," lessening largely, without doubt, the present, monthly amount of its reduction, so that the same generation shall not l-e required to fight the battles of the Union, and also to pay eff the entire cost of its preservation, by bearing heavy and oppressive burdens needlessly. 5. The revival of our American commerce—the development of our vast resources—the completion of the work of amnesty to the fullest limits of the liberal proffer of the National Republican platform—are all sul jects worthy of, and that will doubtless receive, the fullest consideration and the wisest legislation. Thus acting—faithful to the country and all its interests—faithful to the Union and its integrity—faithful to the people whose confidence and support has sustained it in. all its trials—faithful to its brilliant record for the right—snd faithful to eterv pledge on which it power, a Republican administration and Republican Congress will go forward in the work entrusted to them, and the nation, under their legislation, will go on, prospering and to prosper.

Disclosures of the New York Census.

Tub Democratic Mayor of New York and bis partisans are not at all pleased with the developments of the United Slates census in that metropolis. They assail the United States Marshal and his deputies severely, accusing them of having intentionally performed their work of enumeration imperfectly for political purposes. The total population falls considerably below a million, instead of, as was expected, exceeding that number. But it is not this disappointment that .disturbs the Democratic Mayor and his friends. The census developments have convicted their political party of gross rascality, by demonstrating that in the Democratic strongholds the votes that have been polled at recent elections, are out of all proportion to the actual population. There is where the Shce pinches. For example, the census enumeration in one of Ihe most infamous Democratic r;wdy districts ahowwan actual popu'ation of only 870 persons, including men, women and children, while the number of voters m that district, at the last election, wsß reported' at 707!—almost solidly “Democratic,” of course. In another dis trict the Democratic majoritji was alnwet as large, as the entire peculation, and in many other districts the" vote was from fire to one to two to one of the population.

In IMO, at the Presidential election, New York city polled 98,688 votea. The population at this lime, according to the census, was 815,000. In 1864 the vote was 110.800, which, at the ratio of voters to population, would show an increase in the latter of 125,859. In 1868 the vote was increased to 156,050. showing an increase in population of 518,069, or a total of 1,820,000. Now come in the census takers in 1870, and the total population nf the city is shown.to be less than 900,000. It is to be remarked that the increased vote which is shown to have so far outrun the population was almost wholly Democratic This explains the thing, and ac counts for the enormous majorities rolled up in-that city for the Democracy. Let us compare tne vote at different periods : Republican. Democratic. Tout. iroo hw es.so’i lur.si twu 88.(181 7S7(fl 110 SW ISO 47,747 IWM It 6 O'.O

No stronger evidence would he required to convict a man of murder than the census returns adduce against the vile Democracy of New York, proving that they have for years resorted to the most outrageous frauds at the polls, violating, systematically and with impunity, the sacredness of the ballot-box—that safeguard of Republican government, upon the purity of which the existence of a free people depends. These frauds are committed through what are called re-peaters-men who vote early and often. The voting places in most parts of the city being in the hands of the- Tammany ring, these frauds are committed with impunity, and thus thieves, cut-throats and human blood hounds carry New York city elections against the legal voters, and thuscontrcl, not only the politics of the city, but also the politics of the 8 ate. Of the 61,000 majority given for Seymour in 1868, which carried the State for that candidate, thirty thousand, at least, were fraudulent. Had the electoral vote of New York decided the contest between Grant and Seymour, the decision of the honest majority of the people of the United States would have been overruled by the thieves who are hired to vote fraudulently by the New York Democracy. This waas undoubtedly the object of the enormous frauds committed in 1868.

This becomes a very serious question, in which not only the people of New York, but the whole nation, are deeply concerned. If this sort of thing is permitted—nay, if it is even possible—how long will <>ur republican form of government last? If this business is to be continued and tubmltted to, we may soon expect to see the National Government pats into the hands of a class of men who have, in New York city, reduced public robbery and election frauds to a science. Mayor Hall demands that a new census shall be taken under the authority of his own scoundrelly administration. This would not help his parly’s case an iota, for every or e knows that it would be just aa easy for them to take a fraudulent census as it is to vote fraudulently. The New York Tribune expresses its con viction that the United States census has been fairly and fully taken in that city, and such is no doubt the fact Chicago Journal.

NASBY.

(From the Toledo Blade.] MR. NASBY ATTEMPTS TO STUMP THE STATE OF DELAWARE—THE OBSTACLES THROWN IN HIS WAY BY ONE OBED PEABLY, A CONNECTICUT MAN NOW RESIDENT OF THAT STATE. Mastkh’b Cobhxbs, MmrmoN Hmm bud, 1 ik ths Stats uv Dklawabi, > - September 11,1870. I It seems to me cz though whenever I thought I hed a pecoolyerly good thing, that some onmitigated cuss wuz destined to be raised up agin me to bust it. At Confedrit X Roads in Kentucky, that sneekin whelp, Pollock, and furoshus broot, Joe Bigler, wuz alluz in my way, a overthrowin my happiest skeems and blast in my most cheiisht purposes. Here, in Ms*ten’s Corners, my evil genyusis a cuss from Connecticut, named Obed Peasly, who drifted Into Delaware four years ago, and who now runs a tin shop at this place. The people hev to endoor him and support him, for ez they never buy new tin ware its a real accommodashun for em to hev a man capable of sodderin holes in pans, when the" orifices become too big to be stuffed up with rags. But he iz nevertheless a disturber and an inkubus. He hez made friends with all the niggers in this part uv the state; hez helped the Methodist and Baptist preechera to start Sunday Skools among em, and is in all respecks conduktin hisself like a man uv low, grovlin instinks, who feels a call to tear down ancient land marks, and root out everything that the well regulated Delawarian most desires to perpetuate. He is an innovator uv the most dangerous discripshun. He hez been bawlin for years for the destruckshen uv the whippin-post, and the establishin uv free skools here, hez tried to interdoose factriee and stop the sale uv likker, and hev a mectin house put up, and so on. In shoit he hez bein doin his level best to redoos Delaware to the level of Noo Ingland.

The Democratic Central Committee uv the State hed arranged matters wisely and well; that is, it wood hev bin well hed it not bin for this cussed Peasley. They desired to hold all the white vote, and hoped to gain a large share uv the nigger vote. We knew we shood hev no trouble with the white vote, for abuse uv the nigger wood do that, but how to aboose him and capcher his vote at the same time wuz the problem. It wuz decided not to hold public meetins among the niggers at all, or to hev tm attend meetins, but to do the work among them by private conversashen. This wood make clear sailin for our who wuz all notified by cirkler uv wot wuz to be sed. They wuz to bear with all the force possible onto taxes, wich the Delaware man hez alluz hatid to pay, for any purpus, and pertikelerly the danger of nigger tkality, wich is a movin topic for Democratic speekers everywhere. I opened the campane in Masten’s Corner’s two weeks ago, with the same speech I hev bin yoosin tor twelve yeers. Ln the begtnnin I arrano the Republikin party for corrupshen, onto wich I dwell for perhaps ten minutes, when I launch off into my favrit argument, wich is that the nigger is a beast, and physikally and morelly onfit to be anythin but the property uv ths proud Caucashen, which is by nacher the master race. The meetin passed off splendidly—indeed a more enthoosiastic aujence 1 never hed. Obed Peasley wuz in, and at the concloosion he told me that he never hed bin so staggered in his life. “ Whcr do you speck to-morrer nite ? ” he asked. I told him at a village some sixteen miles from here. “ I will be there to hear it agin,” he sed, “ and ez them trooths uv yourn ought to hev wide circul&shen, I shel bring all my trends in that naborhood.” I never wuz so elated in my life. Here wuzfroots! Here wuz a Noo Ingland disturber sonverted by one speech—a persecoctcr converted into an adherent. I retired to bed that nite in ruther high estimate uv my ability. The jnext nite I hed a dclitefu! auj er.ee. The barn in yrieh I wuz to speck wuz nearly full uv the residents uv the scckshttn. and fiom remarks I heerd ein drop and tier appearance, and other indicashens, I felt ashoored that everything I shcod say on the nigger wood meet with ready and enthoosiastic response from cm. I opened elokently and reeled ors the first ten minutes uv my remarks with more spent than I ever throwd into it

The people were enthoosiastlc in ther applause, and I hed workt myself up into a fever uv eggscitement. At last I got to the second head uv my remarks—the nigger question. “ My brethren," sed L“ I approach this question reluctantly. The snbjick isn’t a pleasant one. The nigger, my brethren, wich these fanatics are strivin to force onto us <z an ekal, iz not a man. The nigger, with his long heels, his horribla odor, his I didn't conclood the sentence. At this pint, while these words wuz a ekoin thro the assemblage, that onmitlgatld noo-, since, Obed Peasley, marched Into the barn at the head uv a percession uv male niggers, twenty in number, all uv wich took seats rite in front uv me where they coodent help hearin every word I shooa utter.

My tongue wuz glued to the roof uv my mouth. I saw the danger I wuz in towunst. Them niggers hed votes, and with the white Repuolikins in the vicinity kin carry it. Our people had bin to work among em with hopes uv holdin at least a porshen uv em. Es I perceeded with my speech ez I hed it arranged, they wuz hopelessly lost—cf I didn’t lay it on thick enuff onto the nigger, I disgusted my white friends afore me, who only hed one politikle creed, wich wuz to hate sich. I undertook to switch off and say suthin else, but I coodn’t. I hev only hed one speech for twelve years, and I must deliver that or hold my peace. Peasley nodded at me approvinly. “My brethren I” I commenct agin, when seein them niggers my knees trembled. I lost conshusnis and fell faintin off the barrel onto wich I stood. I perceeded the next nite to my next appointment, thankin Heaven that I fainted ez I did, for it let me out of a most awkward posiehen. I opened tz before and got to the percise pint where I change to the discushen uv the nigger, when Peasley agin made his appearance with his escort uv niggers, twenty in number. Agin I tried to switch off; agin I stumbled and floundered, and agin I sunk down unable to say a word. Need I continyoo the hart rendin narrative ! Need I say that for two weeks that feend incarnate, with twenty niggers alluz with him, made his appearance at my meetins, every time jest cz I wuz Bayin “my brethren, the nigger wich these Radikals is forsin onto us ez an ekal is not a man. He is not fit morally or physically to be asseshated with us. He is-” Need I say that I am at Bill Sapp’s, sick, after hevin miscarried with that same speech fifteen times ? And need I say that it hez leaked out that a lot uv Radikels in Wilmington, onto whose heads cusses, furnisht this Peasley with means to follow me up doorin the campane, and that he perposes to continyoo till the nite of elecshin ? 1 applied to the Central Committy to furnish me a new speech—one wich wood soot for a mixed aujence—but they cant do it. They say Dimocrisy woodnt bear sich a strain ez to kiver both idees towunst, —■: ■ And so in konsekence uv this Connecticut scoundrel’s feendishnis, I atn made yooelis doorin this campane, and we may possibly lose all that we are playin for. Why cant that race be exterminated. Petroleum V. Nasby. (Wich wuz Postmaster)

Fall Plowing.

The advantages of fall plowing are set forth by George F. Holbrook, of Vermont, as follows: Without elaborating the many strong points in favor of fall plowing, a few of the more prominent benefits may be briefly stated as follows: 1. August and September is a good time to turn over bound out sod land and manure and reseed it once to grass, obtaining a crop of hay the following year. 2. October and November is an excellent time to break up sod land for planting the following spring. 3. The weather is then cool and bracing and the team strong and hearty for the work, while the weather in the spring is more relaxing and the team less able; and spring work being always hurrying, it saves time to dispatch as much of the plowing as possible during the previous autumn. 4. Bod land broken up early in autumn will be quite free from growing grass the following spring; the roots of the late overturned sward being so generally killed by the immediately succeeding winter that not much grass will readily start in spring. 5. The frosts of winter disintegrate the plowed laud, so that it readily crumbles in fine particles in spring, and a deep, mellow seed-bed is easily made. The chemical changes and modifications resulting from atmospheric action during the winter develop latent fertility in the upturned furrows, which, together with the mellowing influences, materially increase the crop. 6. Most kinds of insects are either wholly destroyed, or their depredations materially checked, by late fall plowing especially the common white grub and the cutworm. 7. Corn stubble-land may be plowed late in the fall, and thus be all ready for very early sowing in spring, thereby going far to insure a good catch of grass; the roots of the new seeding getting hold well, or being well established, before the droughts of summer come on. Where the subsoil is fine grained, and unctious and close, or where there is a hard pan of good quality, deep plowing may be at once resorted to with decided advantage. Where the»subsoil is poorer the plowing may still be advantageously deepened by degrees, say an inch at each new breaking up. But in by far a majority of cases deep plowing may be prac ticed at once—indeed it maybe the rule with safety, while shallow plowing may be the exception. Plow say nine, ten, eleven or twelve inches in November. The subsoil turned up will grow several shades darker by spring. The frosts and atmospheric influences of winter will mellow the soil. The inorganic elements and all latent fertility will be made more active for benefiting the crop. In spring spread the manure and plow it in or otherwise work it in or mingle it with the soil to the depth, say of four inches, or a little more or less, and you have the very best attainable conditions foi realizing good crops. Deeper plowing may thus be practiced than would at all times be safe or expedient, if the plowing is delayed till spring.

Pickles in Salt.

The season having returned when it is desirable for the farmer’s family to lay in store their annual supply of cucumbers for pickles, inquiry is made, “How shall I lay them down and preserve them in salt? I have put them down in clear salt and can’t keep them so; they rise?’ The trouble is owing, in all probability, to the neglect of complying with one small item essential to their preservation. I will again repeat directions which I have proved successful in preserving cucumbers from year to year, and for several years, quite sound and good. Procure a suitable cask—it may be of oak, pine, ash or other wood, provided it be clean and will hold brine—and good coarse salt that will preserve meat, and you have the essentials for preserving. Put the ca«k in the cellar, as you would your pork barrel. Gather your pickles from day to day; cut them from the vines with half an inch of stem, all sound and fresh; cleanse them from all dirt, etc., sprinkle ia the Wtoq of the cask a l:slf

inch of mH, tumble in your pick lee three or four inches deep, end put on nit m you would in waiting pork; fill it thus till the cask is full, or the desired quantity is stored—ycu can lay them in as you gather, them, once, twice, thrice, or more tunes a week, only they should be freshed pickled. If any on top soften, pick and throw them put. . In a few days brine will form sufficient to cover the pickles; now comes the one essential so often neglected; procure a board to fit, or nearly so, the inside of the cask, and use it from the first putting in of the pickles ; place it, with a stone or brick on it, on top of the pickles, to keep them under the brine, and there is no possible danger of their spoiling or injuring ; a few on the top may soften, perhaps half a dozen or so; tnese should be thrown out when occasion calls to use the pickles. Our people have kept cucumbers in this way, sound and gooc|, three or four years; when we use them they are taken up, rinsed, scalded and soaked several days, to freshen before having vinegar put to them. The foregoing is the best way of preserving pickles, Where they are to be kept over winter: a not very strong brine to put them in will preserve them for a few months, and they are often thus put down when to be marketed within two or three months.— IF. IL White, in Country Gentleman. John V. Farwell & Co., wholesale dry (roods mcrclipnts, are the best representatives of the irrepressible energy and enterprise of Chicago business men. Two days after the great fire which destroyed their "magnificent store, with ?1,500,000 worth of goods, they were In Jiew quarters, at 72 and 74 Wabash Avenue, occupying six floors, 48 by 165 feet, to which they have added a packing room 50 by 160 feet, and the first week their sales were $200,000. Their neW loss proved to be less that $200,000, and as they had a largo duplicate .stock in warehouse,"and-Uusir-ordiwa by telegraph were filled at once and forwarded by express, they arc fully prepared to meet the largest demands of the fall trade. The elasticity and celerity with which thev have sprung into full working order, on so gigantic a scale, after such a great calamity, is without a parallel in mercantile circles.

Gonrt News from Ireland!— During tho Irish famine we sent a million or dollars’ worth of food to Cork. Ireland is now repaying the debt with interest -. not from her exchequer, not from harvest fields, but from the adamantine rocks on her coast. An enterprising company in New York is importing ship-loads of the edible moss that growson her erffs. and converting It, under the name of Sxi Moss Faeixk, Into an economic source of nourishment and palatable food. The new source of aliment is prepared under a paten*, and although bnta year in the market, has already taken precedence of all *he gelatinous agents heretofore used in cookery. No epicure who has tasted the puddings, custards and Jellies made flora Ski Mobs Farts-k, will deny that they are Incomparable. The raving effected by using this article Instead of ma’zrna, fa' Ina or corn starch (all of which it excels in palatabllity), is about fllty per In numbers there Is safety. It was upon this principle that the formula of Jctson’s Mountain Hkbb Fills was prepared. Dr. Judson, Intending to spend a fortune in advertising his pills, submitted his recipe to the revision of the most intelligent and learned physicians of the age, and the result Is a simple but most efficacious medicine— the Judson’s Mountain Hubs Pills. They purify the blood, remove ail obstructions, cleanse the skin of all pimples and blotches, and are per fectly sure and safe in their operation. The Judson’s Mountain Hkbb Pills cure Biliousness, Female Irregularities, Headache, and many of the diseases arising from Impure blood and a deranged digestion. Use tho Judson’s Mountain Hskb Pills, and when yon have proved their virtue recommend them to your friends. They are heth sugar-coated and plain. For sale everywhere.

The maxim that the voice of the people is the voice ol the divinity, may In some cases, be open to doubt, but the testimony of honest and enlightened witnesses extending through a series of years, and all to the same purport, is worthy cf credence, admits of no question. Upon such testimony the reputation of Hostetter’s Stomach Bitters as an antidote and cure for many ailments is bared. During the twenty years it has been before the world innumerable preparations intended to compete with it. have gone up like rockets, and come down the extinguished sticks. Mcmiwhile the progress of that Incomparable tonic bas been swift and steady—always upward and onward like the eagle’s flight. Its introduc len produced a revolution in therapeutics, and proved to be one of those salutary revolutions thAt cannot go backwards. To-day Hostetter’s Bitters is one ot the most popular remedies in Christendom, and commands a larger sale than any other medicinal preparation, domestic or Imported, on this side of the Atlantic. As a euro fir dyspepsia, bilious disorders, nervous affections, general debility, and aa a preventive of epidemic fevers, it takes prfecedence ot every other remedy. This fact should teach the ambitious country dealers who endeavor to foist their local aborJons on the pub lie in Its stead, how futile their small attempts to csjols ths community must necessarily br. Where the game fisb hive failed thtra Is no chance for the “suckers.” Wb take delight in referring our afflicted friends to any dr ng store where that most estimable medicine. Dr. 8. O. Richardson’s Sherry Wine Bitters, can bo procured. Wo advise our frle ds to use it, because wo know its value in curing • Fever and Ague, diseases common in the West, and all new Countries. It should be kept at hand in every Kplly. Sold by medicine dealers generally.
