The Prospects for November.
It to now generally conceded thnfc
the Democrats have lost Ohio bjr
about the same majority teat they
did in the last Governor’s election,
and that the Democrats have carried
Indiana by a. majority from three to
live times greater than their majority
in the last Governor’s election. The
enemy’s victory in Ohio is virtually a
defeat. With the prestige of their
last success, with the Republican can
didate for the Presidency a dative of
the State, and with the Democracy
weakened by dissensions growing out
of the currency question, they should
havo can ned a State where Republi-
majorities in Presidential years
since 1860 have avera^.a twenty'five
thousand, by from fifteen to twenty
thousand. In the fact that they car
ried it by only five or six thousand,
iaffe confession of weakness which will
probably cost them the State
November.
The success of the Democracy in
Indiana, renders the election of Gov
omor Tilden a certainty. Since 1860,
the average Republican majorities in
Indiana at the October election in
Presidential years, has been nearly
eight thousand, the Democrats car
rying the State but once, and then
by less than twelve hundred votes,
The Democracy this year, sweep the
State by a majority so large that it
cannot possibly be overcome
November, and the chances arc that
it will be increased at that time,
We have always contended that
Indiana was the pivotal point in the
Presidential campaign. If the Re
publicans had carried it, only a des
perate fight would have saved us in
November, but as the Democrats
have carried it, their success is re
duced to a certainty. Let us Bee if
we cannot show reason for our confi
dence with a few figures which we
have compiled since the recent elec-
tions. The total electoral vote
three hundred and sixty-nine. The
successful candidate must receive one
hundred and eighty-five. We have
classified this vote as follows
Donbtfhl States—
Florida
Louisiana 8
Wisconsin 10
South Carolina
Texas .....
Virginia
West Virginia.

There is not a State in this list
which is not considered certain, and
foots up one hundred and ninety-
three votes for Mr. Tilden, or thir
teen more than are necessary to his
election. If Hayes carries all the
doubtful States the vote would stand:
Hayes ~176
Tilden ^3
There is not the slightest danger
of losing New Jersey, but suppose it
should go Republican and thaft Hayes
should also carry, in addition to New
Jersey, the vote of every doubtful
State except Florida, the vote would
then stand:
Hayes...... 18®
Tilden... 189
And tha-JtwmmSi® caatlidatc-WMid
have four votes more than are neces
sary to an election. The chances
are, however, that Tilden will carry
all the States in his lists and Florida,
Minnesota and Louisiana besides.
The vote would then stand:
Hayes 154
Tilden 215
Our figures wo believe to be cor-
rect, and we feel convinced that the
resnlt'of the November election will
prove their accuracy.—Chronicle and

l’rof. J. W. Clark in Chicago Times.
England has but 4,500 square miles
of the precious mineral, and has to
win it from a depth of 1,500 to 2,000
feet; we have not less than 240,000
square miles at an average of four
hundred to five huudred feet, and of
every variety of coal known. The
slave which is compelled to toil at its
transmutation into, gold is iron.
Science Iras enabled Great Britain to
capture from its limited area sufficient
of this slave power to build up its
framework of empire. What is our
prospect for iron ? There is in our
midst iron enough for the world’s
consumption for untold centuries; in
parts of our states iron ore constitutes
the framework of the earth’s crust.
Is it in such a form that it may be
profitably utilized? In the present
aspect of our pig iron interests, a
doubt may flit across our minds. We
cannot render a verdict from the
evidence derived from Marquette.
The force of coal, for utilizing her rich
iron oro is too distant, and consequent'
ly too costly. Do we look to Cleve
land ? Here the ore labors under the
same disadvantage. Do we look to
Pittsburg, at present the iron centre
—has she the coal, the iron, and the
limestone for its influx in such happy
relation as to secure her a position to
rule the iron markets of the states or
of the wo:Id?
In the opinion of the writer our
present iron centers are shifting their
location. The world’s supply is not
to emanate from Great Britain or
Pittsburg. Tennessee and Alabama
will sttppy the world’s iron. The great
valley of the Mississippi has, nurtur
ed in her more temperate latitudes,
communities prepared to grasp this
chance. Three dries are pressing to
the front—Cincinnati, St. Louis and
Chicago. Cindnnati is distanced; St.
Louis and Chicago are the competi
tors. The former may be the Paris
of the West; Chicago certainly the
London.
The latter’s geographical position
impels her to become the marvelous
city of the planet, if she betruetixthe
best instincts of humanity. Sucn a
position can only be attaiued by cul
tivating in her midst the richest intel
lects. Her educational institutions
must overflow the ripest fruits of sci
ence and art iuto her industries.
She must produce her own chemists,
geologists, mineralogists, technical
artists, civil engineers, and social sci
ence philosophers. Borrowed gold,
without these native productions, will
not found and perpetuate an empire.
Is onr young civilization old
enough to furnish the Cornell or Van
derbilt f.r the occasion? Will one
of onr early settlers, before the
passii.g hours obliterate the memory
of bis marvelous beginning on Mich-
S in’s shores, step to the front and he
e Romulus of this great Rome, by
fostering an institution which will be
to this young nation what the Royal
Sodety has been to Great Britain and
to the world ?
THE EASTERN QUESTION.
London, October 14.—The Times
in its leader declares if Russia refuses
the armistice or is the means of its
refusal, she becomes the enemy of
Europe. The Berlin correspondent
of the Times says Italy, in her alli
ance With Russia, has in view also the
acquisition of Tunis. A Reuter dis
patch from Vienna , says an under
standing between Russia and Austria
on the Eastern question is considered
certain, notwithstanding contrary ru
mors.
Cettinje, Octobqr 14.—The Mon
tenegrin official journal declares that
Montenegro will nut accept either
the armistice or peajee, except in con
cert with Servia, because Montene
gro, like Servia, is bound to continue
the war until the liberation of the
Christians is accomplished.
London, October 14.—A Reuter
dispatch from St. Petersburg says
the rumor of the Czar’s contemplated
abdication is officially denied.
A Reuter dispatch from Paris says
that, in consequence of explanations
which have been exchanged between
the Powers, it appears prdbnbte that
the Porte’s request for the appoint
ment of commissioners to arran ;e the
details of the armistice will be acce
ded to. It is.expected that thi mili
tary attaches of the various embassies
will be appointed the commissioners.
London, October 14.- The Daily
News Vienna dispatch annonnees tliat
the Italian Ambassador at that city
has been instructed to express the re
gret of his government for the boast
ful and warlike language of some of
the Italian newspapers.
Paris, October 11.—A dispatch to
the Russian Telegraphic Agency, da
ted St. Petersburg, Thursday bight,
says the powers have not been able
yet to agree as to the reception |of the
armistice proposition, but several of
them are disposed to accept it. 1
London, (October 14.—A Paris
correspondent of the Times takes a
sanguine view of the situation. He
says: Doubtless in consequence of
the Porte’s conciliatory attitude the
proposition in regard to the armis
tice will receive an unanimously fa
vorable reception.
Belgrab, October 14—A dispatch
to the Times says fifty Russian offi
cers, some of whom have held high
position on the Russian staff, arrived
here yesterday.
London, October 14.—A dispatch
fromiVienna to Reuter’s says: None
of the Great Powers have yet given
their consent to the conditions of the
armistice proposed by Turkey. Rus
sia regards Turkey’s reference to the
influx of foreign volunteers as a di
rect indictment of her policy. Prince
Milan has confidentially informed
several of the foreign representatives
at Belgrade that the conditions of the
a'rmistice which refer to Servia can
not be taken into consideration.
A Berlin dispatch to the PaUMaU
Gazette says: All the Powers except
Russia have received the Turkish ar
mistice proposed favorably.
Belgrade, October 14.—The re
port that the creditors of Turkey
have seized 292 Krupp guns, which
were being shipped ol Antwerp for
Turkey; is without foundation.
London, October 14.—A Reuter
dispatch from Paris’ announces that
Russia rejects the six months’ ar
mistice proposed by Turkey, and de
mands a fresh six weeks’ armistice to
be imposed upon the belligerents.
OCTOBER 17,

The Red Sea would reach from
Washington to Colorado, and it is
three times'as wide as Lake Ontario.
The English Channel is nearly as
large as Lake Superior. -
The Mediterranean, if placed across

The lead prodnet and consumption
of this country are both rapidly in
creasing, while imports are decreas
ing. In 1866 the product was 14,-
342 tons; in 8875, 53,000; with im
ports in 1866 of 28,000 tons; in
1875, 11,000. The annual consump
tion of the United States is about
60,000 tons, from which it appears
that a slight increase of production
would give a surplus for exporation.

ments to Marriage, eta; also, Consumption,
Epilepsy and Fits, induced by self-indulgenoe
or sexual extravaganoe, &o. Price, in a sealed

The celebrated author, in this admirable
Essay, dearly demonstrates, from a thirty years’
successful practice, that the alarming conse
quences of self-abuse may be radically cured
without the dangerous use of internal medicine
or the application of the knife; pointing out a
mode of cure at once simple, certain, and effec
tual, by means of which every sufferer, no mat
ter what bis condition maybe, may cure himself
cheaply, privately, and radically.
This Lecture should he in the hands of every
youth and every man in the land.
