It should not ba necessary to urge upon our fellow-citizens the duty of eing that thoir names are en-roiled before it is too late. All parties are agree! In enforcing upon the attention of voters the importance of their attending at once to this business.

It cannot be delegated to anether, but every man must for himself see that his name is on the poll-boolts, if he ia entitled to a vote. Remem- ber, to-day and to-morrow will close the period In which the voter may secure the Richest privilege of an American citizen. BccUter-to-day Official figures show that the total vote polled in Ohio is larger than it was at the Presidential election in 1870, or at the Oubernatorial election in 1877. The combined vote cast for the four Gubernatorial candidates Republican, Democratic, Prohibition, and Greenback this year was CJ0S.GC7. Foster's plurality is 17,129.

The total rote for President, in 1876, was 058,373, or about 10,000 less than this' year's vote. The total rote for Governor la 1377 was 554,907, or lSTOO'less than it was this year. In 1877, Bishop, the Democratic candidate, had a itopRtoj of Governor-lect FosTtR is represented as saying that his estimate before the election was that 075,00.0 votes would be polled, and that he now believed that the ofllcial count would how a total poll of 750.000 vot while Gen. Ewwo hadj based his calcula- ns on a rate of 050,000. It is not likely Mr.

osteu could have made any sueh ueni, as tne official Azures would show miscalculation of nmr tt.n fin v. votes. It is evident, however, that a large reserve force was brought out by the faithful work of the Republicans, and that the result is ample compensation for all their rduoua labor. Gov. Titkix, of Colorado, who, with "other leading citizens' of that State, lately declared that the Utes must be removed or exterminated, instrueta the Secretary of the Interior that Chief Ocrat must kurrender his tribe.

This, the Governor argues, Oprat is powerless to do, and the logical inference is thatthe Army ahould move at once upon the late nation and exterminate it, root and'branch. Nothing less than thia will satisfy Gov. Pitkin, who very clearly intimates that, unless the work of driving out is immediately undertaken by tUe United States Government, the citizens of Colorado will make a general attack upon the Indians. Gen. Sher-Hax aays that Ocrat is guiltless of any complicity in the White River outbreaks, and militarv preparations are not relaxed.

Thia will not satisfy Gov." PrrKii and the leading citizens," wio really seem more anxious for a general Indian war than for the 1 recovery of the captive's and the surrender the murderers of The announcement that the Khnrum Valley route is to be elosed for the Winter," shows that no further serious resistance at present is expected in Afghanistan; but Russia will probably be secretly busy during the time of respite. Indirect negotiations may opened with Persia and Bunnah, ra And ammunition supplied to the Hera-teea, and intrigue conducted among the warlike hill-tribes that hover around the British eommanicationi. Russia's reported anxiety to retain a strip of Kuldja is natural enough, its possess ion being an 'absolute pass-key into China by the most direct tout. Her offer to protect, in return, Chines merchantmen in ease of a war with Japan, is rendered practicable enough by her recent annexation of the 11 and of Ro strongly objected to by Japanese Government: bat, la any eaae. it appears i toat the KaiAi oat war will remain sum open to -Russia.

If the tatter's progress is to be checked, the projected. English railway through the Bolan Pass to Kandahar cannot be constructed too soon. The abolition of slavery in Cubs is at last seriously proposed, after the fading out of many schemes to accomplish that end, none of which had any substantial foundation. The bill which is soon to be introduced into the Spanish Cortes for this purpose will provide for gradual emancipation, slaves aged Co and over being freed immediately, others annually and according to their age, and total freedom to be accomplished in September, 1890. Beginning with the next year, $100,000 will be charged each year to the Cuban budget for the purpose of defraying the cost of emancipation, the sum of $350 being payable to the owners of each slave liberated by this act.

It is not assumed that this wonld be sufficient compensation for the loss of slave property, and, by way of general indemnity, will be granted certain commercial privileges heretofore denied, and which should develop the maritime and commercial interests of Spain and Cuba. Emancipation in Cuba once accomplished, or even put on the slow stages of gradual accomplishment, will redeem Spain from a stigma under which she has too long labored. The decree of Sept. 12, 1873, gave freedom to any slave who escaped from Cuba into the territorial or maritime jurisdiction of Spain, outside of Cuba and the proposed law will only apply to that island the same principle which has heretofore guided the Spanish Government in its management of tho subject of slavery. THE.

NEXT LEG ISLA TUBE. The State Senators to be elected next month will, as members of the Legislature of 1881, take part in the choice of a United States Sonator to suooeed Mr. Kernax. As the party majority in the upper branch of Congress may be determined by the political faith of the next Senator from New-York, it is harrtly necessary to enlarge upon the national importance of securing a Republican majority in the State Apart from any such general consideration, the State and Municipal questions to bo dealt with by the Legislature of 1880 are of unusual moment, and demand the utmost care in the selection of the men who will have to deal with them. Several important duties have' been shirked by the Legislatures of recent years, and more have been rendered impossible of" fulfillment by the attitude of a Democratic Governor.

As the election of a Republican Governor is reasonably secure, there ought to be no question about the possibility of associating with him a Legislature with a fairworking majority in both branches. As, with the law-making power ftmaJiiaced jn Republican hands, the party would have a very direct responsibility for the government of the State, it greatly to be desired that its representatives should be worthy of tho honest and intelligent majority of voters to whom they will owe their election. With the exception of five Senate districts, and twice as many Assembly districts, the nominations for both branches of the Legislature have been made throughout the State. For the Senate some new men have been put in nomination whoso influence will unquestionably tend to elevate the character and methods of that body. Among these may be mentioned xiiRDSALL, of Oyster Bay, a candidate in the First District ex-Mayor Schroeder, of Brooklyn, a candidate in the Third District Mr.

William W. AsTOR.in the Tenth District, and Mr. Georoe H. Forster in the Eleventh. Mr.

William B. Woodin has been nominated in the Twenty-sixth Dis trict, and as usual with men. of positive character and pronounced ability, Las no lav-k ot enemies. There is certainlv no former member of the Senate to whom the tax-payers of New-York owe a larger debt of gratitude than to Mr. Woodis, and there is no candidate'who has previously served in the Senate who has a more intelligent ap preciation of their Judire Rorkrt- Box will, doubtless, be re-elected in the iwelftn District, and his recent political experience is likely to prevent him from re peating the blunder of assuming that duty to his party demands the sunnnrt man like JohsF.

Smtth. Of the fifteen Sen ators who voted asrainst the removal rf Superintendent Smtth on the charges pre- ierrea py tne Oovornor 1878, seven have been renominated, viz Messr-u Robertson, Wexdover, Waoxbb, Rockwell. McCarthy, Davenport, and Loomis. could wish thatthe list had been shorter. Messrs.

Lynde and Sessions, who voted for the removal of Superintendent Smtth have been renominated, and Mr. Marvin, who voted against it, is a party to the apparently interminable contest in the Twenty-fourth Senate District Mr. Mabvin'h vote on the Smyth trial ought to bean argument for the. selection of another candidate. The Assembly nominations present an unusually large number of new men, about whose qualifications only the people among whom they live can be fully qualified to judge.

In this City Mestirs. Haves, Deane, and Varncm were nominated last night, in the Seventh, Ninth, and Eleventh Districts, respectively. All three performed good service in the last Legislature, Mr. Yarxum being particularly deserving of a renewal of public confidence. No member of the City delegation his ever performed his Legislative duties in a fashion so thoroughly above reproach as Mr.

Var-HCM. Among the nominations made in the interior of the State there are a few which" stand out in etrong relief as those of men of more than average capacity'and culture. Among these should be mentioned Mr. Georoe H. Sharpe, of Kingston, who, last year, redeemed from Democratic control the First District of Ulster County, and who may be trusted to keep for the party what haa been gained.

His Legislative record was thoroughly honorable to himself andl creditable to hia constituents. Among the younger men, Mr. Charles R. Skinner, of Jefferson, represents a type of ability of which there is too little in the public service. Hia determined struggle against the extravagance of the salaries of Legialative employe, and his consistent opposition to every scheme having the alight-cat taint of jobbery ought to entitle Mr.

Sewxeb; not only to a re-elec-tioa hut to very prominent ixbia in the araaLBiaatioa at the next Legia atnre'. On that organization will largely dej end tho disposition to be made of the mac open questions of Municipal goVernmet of the problems of readjusting the burden of taxation, of regulating railroad and insurance, corporations, and of ridding bo the State and local Govern ments of niany flagrant 'abuses. On party and publiclgrounds it is equally imnortant that Republicans should leave nothing undone to eltlct a maioritv in both houses. PROllOTISG JilillOUATIOy. A disapnoi inted immigrant is like the in- telligent ontraband of war-time.

he is always in fi anger of confounding considera- tions that shoufd be kept apart, and of jumping sweeping conclusions from a narrow ba is i of fact. The Yorkshire farmer who has set urned to this City from Texas, after a veily brief experience as one of the party whose arrival lately made Texas an object of envy to other Southern States, lelihood tells the! truth as he in all liliel sees it. Ilirt expectations and his experi-nlt harmonize. He went to the ence do nbt neighborhbod of San Antonio asnred that he could there get good land at three dol lars an ace the land offered him was not in his judgment worth the. money.

He had been induced to believe that the land is rich, and he found it poor. In other particulars he was also dissatisfied. What did this stout-heanted Yorkshireman do Every body knoh-s that though Texas has a good deal of inferior land, it has lartro areas of land as fertile as any tho sun shines upon If David! Mewha wanted to grow crain crops or tf raise stock, he might have found land suited to either at a less expenditure of time and noney than was required for the return tr to New-York. But, he did not make the experiment. Ho was disappoint i ed, homesick the land which suited hili near Galveston was beyond his means and though burdened with a wife and nvec ldren, he hurried hither in search of the liv which he says Texas does not offer him Tho sto convoys more than one moral.

That whi iijh is most apparent is the neccs- sity of red eiving with caution tho statement of a mad who may bo wholly unfitted for the task (devolving on an immigrant with scanty maans. His eagerness to run away from diffii ulties instead of manfully resolving to irmount them, is a reason for thinking that nature did not design him for an mmigrantJ' Every year brines multitudes like him. They are not satisfied the old country. Fortuno is against hem. Their families iuereaso faster tha their incomes.

An emigration agent trafels their wav and paints bright pictures qf homes beyond the sea. Or thov read descriptions of. the wondrmw of region where land may he bought for a song, an.l desires are kindled which for a moment sjeem to indicate an awakening of energy add enterprise. Or somebody thev have hea: of went to tho far West years ago, andl as sent back reports of prospc-rit Whate vei the immediate cause, thoy make up their niin Is to emigrate. Some of them are ne er-do-fells, who had only thomselves to blame let the hard struggle they are en gaged in Others have the hearts of chu-k- ens in th frames of men.

Others lack tho ability stances Others, adapt themselves to the circum- and habits of a new eountrv. again, have been cruelly deceived by scou adrels who care for nothing but their ow gains. From these classes tho majority of people who are afterward heard of las returned and disappointed emi grants, homes gre drawn. Thev fro to their i oke full of grievances. They be come authorities in their respective neigh- borhood on the subject of emigration.

Thev tell of may bo ah experience which in the main literally true, but which is uncon- sciously fiscolored by the blunder thev ffll into wh jn they imagined that they were qualified to become emigrants. The proba- bility could is the Yorkshire farmer who ncjt discover good land in Texas be- longs to tme or another of these classes. Assuming that David' Mxwha speaks truly hf he says that most of th nartv to whom I ne belonged are leaving the neiih- borhood charge kvhere they expected to settle, the ot misrepresentation preferred against tiie Emigration Department of thB Galveston, Harrisburg, and San Antonio Railroad requires investigation on the part of that rporation. In Europe, the emi- Kmuon i lusiness is in as bad repute as are life insu ance canvassers here and for the same cai set Jhe business is subject to a general uspicion of falsehood aud fraud. The repi esentations used are exaggerated, sometim js absolutely false.

Essential fea'-turesof i statement are withheld. Persons entertai ling the idea of emigration are told onli so much as serves the agents purpose. 1 verybody is urged to go, though an intellige it agent knows well that but a small proporti of those who would like to emigrate a really lit for the undertaking. Perhaps he sells them land, and lies in regard to its quality. Perhaps he sketches things i ta liht derived from his imagination.

A 11 he cares for is his pwn to the ml (ry of his dupes he is indifferent. Of course, no responsible corporation directly sine tions this method of obtaining buyers its land. It is aotorious, however, at land-grant railroads in the West aid South-west have maintained abroad xpeusive agencies whose tricks and misrepr mentations have reacted prejudicially to the companies' interests. Indeed, nothing has lone more to create 'distrust, and to keep aw ay the class of emigrants whom the newer Lates and Territories most require, than th knavery of persons employed by railroad companies, by other corporations, and in time instances by States, to foster emigrat on. Such methods are suicidal, but the; have been persisted in pr years, in spit of repeated exjwsures and the running fir i kept up by returniag victims.

With these facts upon the record, the marvel that any considerable number of English farmers could now be found willing to jour My to Texas in blind reliance on statem nts put forward in the name of the GaJvest and San Antonio Railroad. The represe itative of that or any other corpora-lion si nilarly situated shoaid decline the respom ibility involved in the guidance of a colony, whether wll organized or not.

tla WtyoigWim' 1 2i, -1879; course has been followed and the Canadian Government has instructed its agents to follow the example! The duty of colonists is yet more dear. They should take nothing for granted. They should act aa though they doubted every thing until their own delegates, men whom they know and trust, have with their own eyes judged of its truth. Not until they are convinced that all is right should they "pull up stakes and set out for their new homes. Had the Yorkshiremen who went to Texas acted on this safe rule, we should not now be called upon to print the story of their disappointment.

1ASOXRY ASD STATESMANSHIP There is in this country a general prejudice in favor of educated men for positions of public trust and importance. If a man is so ignorant that he does not even know how to use the English language properly, most people hesitate at placing him in a conspicuous office, however honest and energetic he may be. Honest and energetic men are not so scarce that we must needs look for them in the ranks of the ignorant and illiterate. It should bo no recommendation to popular favor that a candidate uses hypothecated instead of hypothetical," for example. Nor is there any reason why a man should be elected to office because ho has followed a mechanical trade, or some humbler callintr.

Abraham Lincoln is sometimes cited as "a self-made man," who was a rail-splitter. He never did, as a matter of fact, split many rails, and, in one way or another, he was sufficiently educated to stand high as a lawyer and to command the respect of those who knew him before the honors of office had fallen upon him. Nevertheless, there are men who think that Lincoln's real greatness consisted in his once having earned his living by manual labor. The manual labor of his early life did not honor or dishonor Lincoln. This was a mere incident in his career.

But Mr. John B. Haskin thinks that it is greatly to Joux Kelly's honor that he was once a mason and grate-setter. Speaking at the Kelly serenade ttie other night ifl behalf of fJoiiN Kelly and hi combination troupe," as he proudly declared, Mn Haskin said with emotion he well remem-berod a time when the great man lived in his humble two-story framo house in and had for a sign on his basement door, John Kelly, Mason and Grate-setter." Well, what of it? Is Mr. Kelly, tho arrogant snd dictatorial leader of Tammanv, any better or any worso for that Does tho fact that his dwelling was in Mott-street, and that it was a framo house, and humble, and two-story, add or detract in tho least from his present character? Or, if tho humility, woo.lenness, or location of tho two-story dwelling of the future great man and preseut grate-setter, do not affect his standing as a candidate now that ho has risen so higli in the world, does the sign on his basement door, to which Mr.

IUskin so feelingly alludes, play any part in shaping the destiny of this statesman Mr. Kelly's predecessor, "Boss" Tweed, was a humble chair-maker, and, for we know to" the contrary, carried his sign on the basement door Of his two-story frame dwelling. We see, therefore, that the humility of one's employment does not insure a virtuous and honest life. If the late Mr. Tweep had been content to follow chair-making, instead of climbing into Municipal of-ce, he possibly might have lived a prosperous gentleman, respected and honored to this day.

Ami if the trade of mason and grate-setter insures high moral and political worth to Mr. Kelly, there is no good reason why the trade of chair-maker should not have done as much for Mr. Tweed. Of course, the adulation of Mr. Haskin.

apropos of Kelly's humble two-story dwelling with the sign of "Mason and Grate-setter on the basement-door, is mere buncombe. It is designed to tickle the ears of working men, and induce them to throw up their caps for a mau who was born in huinblo circumstances and who learned a mechanieal trade. Sensible working men are deceived by no such humbug. They know very well that a citizen doos not make a better public officer because he has risen from a humble calling. They know that, all other things being equal, it is better that a public officer should be educated rather than ignorant.

It is claimed for Mr. Kellt that it is greatly to his credit that ho has been a mason and grate-setter and is now running for office; that '-there is all the more honor attached to his name for that very reason, and that from comparative poverty, ho has become rich." And the inspired Haskin, rising with his theme, "The great Creator of the Universe was a mason himself," at which, the reporter says, "cheers." Of course, there is no such thing as going beyond this. When John Kellt, who has had the sign of Mason and Grate-setter on his basement door, is consequently likened to the Creator of the Universe, mere men vho have been sent to school to learn how to speak and write the English language correctly may as well hide their heads. If this new rule is to obtain, candidates for office will be required to prove that thoy have, in early life, followed some mechanical calling, that of chair-maker or mason and grate-setter always preferred. There is even a chance for the plumber, wholly reprobate though society declares him to be.

But virtue chiefly resides in the chair-maker's shop, and there is statesmanship in the trowel of the mason and grate-setter. 1 THE MOUSE CUKE. Medical science has made great progress during the last fifty years. Novel and startling as this assertion is, there is no doubt of its truth. Modern physicians have learned to discriminate between diseases that the physicians of the last generation believed to be identical, and' in this way they have added at least two dozen able diseases their repertoire.

For example, it was formerly supposed that when' a man who lived in his own house had a fever, the symptoms of which were apparently the same aa those of a malarious fever from which hia next-door neighbor, who lived in a hired house, suffered, the two diaeaaea were identical, but we now know that a man who lives in his own houae never haa a malarious fever, though ha often suffers trorn a narvoaa affection, tha avmstoraa ot which closely resemble those of chills and fever. In addition to thus discriminating between diseases which were formerly confounded, modern physicians have made very extensive additions to the materia mediea, and of these, the recent discovery of what seems to be a specific for nearly all nervous diseases is by no means the least important. Of all nervous diseases, tetanus is one of the most determined and objectionable. It is usually induced by over-indulgence in rusty nails or fish-hooks, and when it once takes hold of a patient it is nearly impossible ble to drive it away. One of its permanent symptoms is the closing of the jaws so tightly that they cannot be pried open with a crow-bar.

When it is remembered that women a well as men suffer from this disease, its tremendously powerful nature becomes evident Hitherto there has been no remedy which could be regarded as a specific for tetanus. In the last century the usual treatment was to knock out a few of the patient's teeth, so as to pour a little brandy down his throat, and then to order his coffin. With the progress of medical science, various other remedies were suggested, among which the subcutaneous injection of curare, a particularly deadly South American vegetable poison, gave, on tho whole, the best results, and frequently so far got tho mastery over tetanus that it killed tho patient beforo'tho disease could kill him. At last, however, an ingenious French physician has apparently hit upon a remedy before which tetanus yields as readily as toothache yields to thedentist's forceps, and which will, of course, supersede curare and all other inferior remedies. The French doctorin question was called in to attend a lady suffering from tetanus.

In his report ho says that she was a married woman of 31 years of age. And that previous to his visit her family physician had tried every known remedy for tetanus, including curare, without producing any effect. Tho patient was lying on her back, wUh her jaws tightly closed, and the muscles of her chest and throat were so rigid that she was unable to utter a sound. Tljo doctor at once sent out and procured a liyo mouse of the usual size and voracity, to the tail of which he attached a strong horsehair. Placing tho mouse at the foot of the bed, he permitted it to walk the entire length of the patient's body.

No sooner did tho patient, notice the mouse than she sprang up, loudly calling to the attendants to take it off, and denouncing the doctor as a horrid heartless wretch, who ought to be ashamed of himsolf aud guillotined on the spot. There was no recurrence of the symptoms of tetanus. In fact, the doctor adds that the lady's jaws were so thoroughlv amf permanently unlocked that tho husband, who is, of course, ignorant of law, has threatened to begin an action for damages against him. The success of this experiment encouraged the doctor to try the mouse cure in other nervous diseases. He reasoned that the administration of mice powerfully stimulates the nerves of a female patient, aud enables the nervous system to throw off any disease with which it is afflicted.

Soon after the incident just related, he met with a violent case of hysteria. Tho a married lady of years, was subject to hysterical attacks, but this particular ono was of unprecedented violence. Among its prominent symptom was an absence of whisker on ono side of the husband's face, a broken clock, and an almost irresictible tendency on tho part of the patient to lie on the floor and kick the paneling of a rosewood book-case. The doctor at once perceived that mice in strong doses were indicated. therefore ordered that a mouse should bo administered everv ten minutes until the violence of the attack should abate.

The first mouse ran across the patient's body, but thoro was no perceptible change in her heels or voice. Tho second mouse, however, entangled itself in her hair, and her recovery was almost instantaneous. Sho sat up and said that if the doctor would tako that mouse away, sho would got right up and see about dinner. No further treatment was necessary, and the fact that the disease, has not returned leads the doctor to express a strong conviction that the cure will prove a permanent one. The mouse cure has also been tried with the very best results in an attack of paralysis of the left leg, which was in a fair way to prevent the wife of a Parisian banker from making a call on certain of her husband's relatives, and in a case of nervous piostration which suddenly attacked a lady when her husband had refused to take her to the sea-side.

Both of theso cases yielded promptly to the exhibition of mice, ami there is no room for doubt that the cure was due solely to the remedy employed. The addition of mice to tho materia medira will naturally interest the profession everywhere, and we may expect to find the mouse treatment adopted in nervous diseases by all regular physicians. It is rather odd that the distinguished French physician has not turned his attention to rats. There may be discoveries made in the rat field which will be of as much importance as those which he has already made in connection with mice. TUt' PL A Just at present our evening sky is unusually interesting, the preat planets JuDiter and Saturn and our next neighbor.

Man, being all in isht at once, together with the moon. If Venus were still blaring in the west, as during the Summer mouths, we should have all the conspicuous planets together, Mercury beiuK the only one of all the reit ever visible to the naked eye by moonlight, and Mercury even never comes out of the twilight At midnight Jupiter has paaed the meridian and moves lowly toward his Betting. Always a magnifl-eeut telescopic object, with hii retinue of satellites, he has been unutually fine of late, for his belts are now strongly tinged wita color, and have been rapidly changing In form and ponitton from night to night. For some time, also, a peculiar oval spot of unexplained origin and character haa been vUible upon hii surface Vhenrer the rapid rotation of the planet has broucht it to our side of the globe. Tola spot is some miles in lenptb, by 7.0O0 in width, and situated about 233 south of tha planet equator; it is of a vivid erimtoa, so Ural it Hinds oat vigorously to the eye among the' other markings of the surface.

It seema to be identical with one first observed In 1C2 by Lord Rosas, though it was then of somewhat different form and dimenaiona. In the meanwhile it has been from time to time lost sight f- sirobetblr bo Tend by eleuda. but for the i i last three yean has changed but allghtly, and lor some months peat has bean absolutely permanent, so far aa can ba Judged. What may be ita real causa and Datura bo one seems able to explain. It la almost certainly aunotpheria and not continental, beeanea it ehaagea la position and appearance; bat if so, why are the ebangee so very slow I Nearer the meridian at midnight, and higher up.

Is the pale Saturn, somewhat brighter than tha Pole Star, and distinguishable from elgh-boring stars of similar brightness by lta na-twinkling lirht Every one knows that it la surrounded by a remarkable system of rings and an attendant flock of satellites. Two years ago theee rings were edgewise to the earth, and visible only aa a thin needle of light piercing the planet's globe. Last year even, tbey had not opened up enough for satisfactory observation, but now at length they have unfolded their beauty acrain in all Its wonderful details. The narrow outer ing. with its hair-like markings, the dark division between this and the middle ring, and the filmy Inner ring of diaphanous haze, are once more visible.

On the whole, viewed with a ttleacope of sufficient power, this planet with its appendages is the finest of all celestial objects. There is not. Indeed, that vividness of light and color which makes some stellar clusters and groupings so magnificent, nor such an endless variety at we find npon the lunar surface. As soma one has said, the beauty of the moon is that of a picture. full of 'details and shadings, all ignlfl-cant and interesting, but so numerous as to be bewildering.
