Many leading democrats appear to have given up the next presidential election. The St. Louis Republican says forty-one democratic papers at the west naw advocate the “passive policy,” and gives a list of them. This passive policy means a suspension ot the democratic organization during the next year nt least, in order to get up a kind ft petroleum speculation for the benefit of mourners for the lost offices. The passive policy people ptopuse to form a combination for the coining presidential canvass, which shall be arrayed on a platform consisting of a single plank, as follows: “Let us defeat General Grant!” Differences on any other point will not be considered. These operators hope to firm “independent republicans’ (so they call them) enough to nominate a republican against Gen. Grant and make an encouraging show of oppo sition. Then the democrats will join them with a rushj make the canvass lively, and work in hope of “defeating Grant.” Perhaps they arc correct in assuming that the republicans will renominate General Grant; but are they quite sure of finding a satisfactory nnmber of republicans to join them in this speculation? Republicans of a quality to have much influence arc not likely to join such a movement. Most of the few named by these “passive” intriguers may piefersomc other re publican to Gen. Grant, as a candidate for the presidency; but this doesnot mean that they ate ready for such an entertainment as the St. Louis Republican and others would prepare for them. Nur is it likely that the great mass of the demo crats can be won over to support the scheme. The “new de pat tun” has drawn forth some testimony on this point, which appears to be conclusive. This having failed, how will they be able to make this new onc plank contrivance sue'cssful among democrats? Moreover, that “old baby” down south has more friends than these “passive” conspirators arc willing to see. But the scheme is not a hopeful one, because it is so openly reckless and unprincipled, that it will repel those who mean to regulate their po litical conduct by honest convictions, and have no taste for political buccaneering. A system of sewerage, novel in America, though it is said tu have been in use two or three years in the city of Prague, Bohemia, was described in a paper read before the polytechnic branch of the American institute in New York. It is culled the pneumatic sewerage system, be cause the pressure of the atmosphere is made topiodm e the flow through the pipes. The flow involves the division of a city into what are called complexes and sub-complexcs.” A sub complex consists of about two hundred houses, and is provided with a large air-tight iion reservoir into which lead the waste pipes from each house. The complex includes all the sub-complexcs within a radius ol about half a mile, and is supplied with a reservoir simi lar but of course much larger, with which all those of the sub-complexes are connected by pijics. The whole system of pipes is provided with valves and cocks, by which the circulation of the air is regulated. The pressure is obtained by exhausting the air in the princi pal reservoir, by means ot a large air pump, driven by a steam engine. The pressure of the outer air then drives through the pipes all their contents, first into the smaller reservoirs, and then into the larger one, clearing the whole system, it is said, in less than five minutes. The contents of the main reseivoir can then he drawn off fcr use as a fertilizer. This plan is regarded with favor in Europe, and is now being introduced into several cities. Mr. Gideon Haynes, who has been warden of the state prison for fourteen years past, has of fered his resignation, to take effect on the first of December next. Mr. Haynes has been a very efficient officer, treating tiie prisoners in his charge with humanity, and so managing the affairs of the institution that the profits of the prisoners’ labor have paid all its expenses and left a considerable balance lor the state treas ury. The prison under his control has been one of the best managed institutions of its kind in the country, and was considered a model which officers elsewhere have been accustomed to study and try to imitate. The Boston Trans cript says that General S. E. Chamberlain will succeed Mr. Haynes, and gives a curious ac count of the manner in which the change was brought about. The governor and council, it says, having in mind General (’hamherlain’s services in the army, and the fact that his present position, that of assistant ad jutant general in charge of the Cam bridge arsenal, is not lucrative, looked about to sec if they could not pro vide him with something better. The result of their sutvey was the conclusion that, as Mr. Haynes had held his office a long time and General Chamberlain seemed well qualified for its duties, the former had better retire so that the latter might be provided for. Accord ingly Governor Claflin suggested this view of the casein a letter to Mr. Haynes, who cheerfully acquiesced and sent in his resignation and General Chamberlain will be nominated and confirmed today. This is the Transcript’s story —not ours. If true, it is a little strange. We have every reason to think highly of General Chamberlain and are quite ready to believe that he will prove an efficient warden. But it is not like Governor Claflin nor in accordance with sound policy, as it seems to us, to remove an unusually good officer to make a place for one who, it is hoped, may prove as good, but is extremely unlikely to be better. The disaster to the Arctic whaling fleet seems to have fallen most heavily, not upon New Bed ford, whose capitalists furnished the vessels and their equipment as well as the insurance. Their pecuniary loss, of course, was the greatest, but they were generally very well able to bear it, and probably no ether interest in a city of that size cuuld have been so little inconvenienced by losses to the same amount. To Honolulu, which had no capital directly invested in the whaling business, the loss is more serious. A large part of the most profitable business of that port con sists in furnishing supplies to the whaling fleet, and the loss of that business for this season is a serious blow. The Commercial Advertiser of Honolulu says: '‘There is not a single branch of industry in the islands, not n man, woman or child, that will not. either immediately or ic mutely feel the effects, in the decreased circula tion of money through its numerous wonted channels. Ilie situation is much worse, finan cially, than as though 1200,000 in coin had been sent out of the country at one time to pay for goods, inasmuch as we have the goods on our hands to be aid for, but shall not receive, from tins source, the expected money wherewnh to pay. We mention the amount'of §200,000, be cause a fair estimate would place that figure as the probable amount of money that would have ecu left here this tall but for the destruction of the fleet. To some branches of business in this city, the result wHi ire disastrous in the extreme, ami the outlook fur the twit three months is anything but encouraging. Let no one Alter himself that he will not suffer with his nei'di iMir s mislortunes. We aie like a house builtof cards—remove one, and the others tumble.” Another paper published there sometime ago, declared that the business of the whaling Acet had ceased to be an important element of the prosperity of the place. Now that this busi ness is lost fur the present, the loss does not seem so insignificant as it did in anticipation. “The Guam* Duke Business/ —The New York Standard reports that Catacazy or some body (Ise who “manages the grand duke busi m ss/’L-making money cut of it.

The frequency of fatal accidents to persons crossing or otherwise being upon the tracks of railways passing through this city, deserves more serious attention than has yet been given to it. I hesc fatalities occur much oftener than we like to think of, and a great porpoition of them along the line of one railroad, the Wor cester and Nashua. The coroners inquest gen erally, if not invariably, results in a verdict that nobody is to bln me, and this verdict doubtless seems to be justified by the evidence. We think, however, that it is not entirely satisfac tory to rest in the comfortable conclusion that the victims’ carelessness was the sole cause ot their fate, un i so dismiss the subject from further consideration. An examination of the facts in each ease may show that if the per son killed had used reasonable care and prudence he would have escaped injury, and it may be true that a man, always vigilant, selt possessed ami active, may for years go safely about his business in all parts of the city; but this is not the degree of safety which is desira ble, or which we hanfa light to expect. It is not extravagant to demand that our highways may be traversed in reasonable security, not only by persons who are constantly on the alert, but by those also who use only ordinary, or even somewhat less than ordinary caution. It is a fact well known and recognized that per sons morally or physically incapable of taking perfect care of themselves,children and cripples for instance, or those whose sight or hearing is defective, do go about our streets. It may be impossible to ensure perfect safety for them, or to put them on a level in this respect with per sons in the maturity and full possession of all their faculties, but it is not impossible to pro vide such safeguards that no place where thev may lawfully go shall be full of imminent peril. The fact that these accidents do occur so of ten is evidence enough that some precautions not now employed, should be tried to prevent them. It is not right, and ought not to be tol erated, that those who have the authoiity mid duty to prescribe regulations for the conduct of railway traffic, upon and across the streets of this city, should rest content with such safe guards as, in tlieii opinion, are sufficient to pro vide for the safety of prudent people. They must recognize the fact that there are impru dent people, and must protect them, as far as possible, irom the consequences of their ovn hecdlcssness. The failure to do this is equiva lent to a decision that here want of caution is a capital crime, to be punished summarily and pitilessly by the most horrid of deaths. It is quite time for an inquiry, by some competent authority, to ascertain what additional safe guards should be provided for the protection of life in our streets, where they arc crossed by railways at grade. The delay caused by the frequent passage of cats and locomotives, and their stopping upon street crossings, while trains arc being made up, is a serious evil; but it sinks into insignificance, compared with the loss of life. It may not be possible to change the grade of tracks and streets, so that there shall be no grade crossings; but if that, which would be the most effectual remedy, cannot be employed, some other must be found. This at least the public have a right to demand, that a sufficient number of persons be employed by the railroads, and so stationed and instructed that everybody shall have ample warning of approaching dan ger. The simple requirement that whenever a car not preceded by an engine is moving across a street a man shall invariably be stationed on that end of it which is in advance, would proba bly have prevented the sad calamity of last Fri day. Wc trust the city government will take this matter in hand, consider what further pro tection the railroads may reasonable be required to provide for the safety of the public, and, if the authority to enforce such requirements does not now exist, ask for the intervention of the legis lature at its approaching session. Indian Affairs.—A letter from Samuel Bowles, dated at Denver, CoL, Nov. 20th, and addressed to the Springfield Republican, has among other things the following in regard to Indian affairs and the new commissioner: “Our friend, Gen. Frank Walker, passed me here on his way back from the forts anil Indian agencies in the Sioux country, a hundred miles north and vast—his bairgage big, I suspect, with the scalps and characters ol various Indian traders and contractors, politicians and specu lators, in this quarter. These people have met their Tilden and O’Conor, 1 trust, in Walker, and he will be likely to ‘raise their scalps’ as re lentlessly as they have been ‘raising’ their bills against the government for Indian supplies. I hey have turned in small Texas steers and cows, weighing 600 to 800 pounds each, at 1600 pounds each to the government for the Indians, and then stolen them back again, while the same thousand sacks of flour have been sold over and over to the same blind old gentleman whom we conveniently call ‘Unde Sam/ There is great desire among the leading and honest citizens of this region that so vigorous, intelli gent and honest an administrator of affairs as Gen. Walker is may be induced to take the head of the Indian bureau, for then there would be hope, at least, that order could be brought out ol its chaos, honesty out of its corruptions, and an intelligent and sensible policy out of its present confusion, inconsistency and doubt. I am sure theie is a way of treating the Indians more practical and more creditable than that which has prevailed; a way equally removed from the weak sentimentalism ol a ol\er and the wicked blood-thirstiness of a Chi vington. And if the president and congress will give Walker a fair chance, and he will make it a rule to spend a third to hall his time ‘in the field,' I know no man whose character and capacity promise so well for achieving it. But it is a big undertak ing for any man, and the bravest and best might well hesitate to encounter the perils which the Indian rings, the greedv politicians, the army, the sentimentalists, and the extenuinatois unite to throw around it.” Tea Culture ix the United States.—The following letter, received at the bureau of statis tics, has been referred by Dr. Young to the com. missioner of agriculture for consideration: 4 Stoneleigh Villas, Eiuth, Kent, England, November 6,1871. Sir: 1 am induced to ask if there is any hope of the cultivation of tea being undertaken by the government of the United States in Cali, fomia, Carolina, or elsewhere, and if so, at what period. Machinery is now employed, reducing to a great extent the labor required in the manufac ture, and the cultivation would be a most impor tant addition to American industry. 1 am now very desirous to emigrate to Ameri ca, and as I am a tea planter in fact, I beg to in close my testimonials, asking you to kindly rep resent my claims should the opportunity arise. 1 have more information relating to tea in manuscript than most (certainly more than has yd been published,) which I should be glad to publish if encouraged to do so. I am, sir, yours obediently. James McPherson. To the minister, statistical department, Wash ton, D. C. It iippears from the testimonials inclosed with the letter that Mr. McPherson was formerly em ployed in the famous Kew Gardens, near London, and has subsequently had the charge of an ex tensive tea plantation near Madras, in the East Indies, where he took the prizes of the agri liorticultural society for three years for the best samples of India and China teas. He has also recently received the commenda tion of the India committee of the society of arts (England) for an essay on tea culture, ns con taining much information as to the growth and manufacture of tea in India. .H iarr Ilnur oum It«iu«.

A small girl, apparently nine yearsol age, appeared at the door. “Have any soldiers gone by here? ’he asked. “Yes,” said the child; "and they’re in camp about a mile from here.” “Then,” said the stranger, dismounting, “I can wait a moment. Is your mother in?” “No, sir,” said the small child. I don’t have her round here, you bet.” “Well, is your father in?”asked the stranger, again. “No, sir,” said the child. This ranch ain’t the old man’s, no way. It belongs to Baxter— Jabez Baxter, Esquire.” “Well, is Mr. Baxter in, then?” “No, he ain’t.” “Well, is his wife in, then?” “Yessir. lam her.” “What!” said the stranger. “I’m Mrs. Baxter,” said the little girl. “Airs.

In three or lour years the original of Mrs. Jabez Baxter will be even more developed, physically and mentally, than now, thanks to the climate of California.

The water of this spring is of no use as yet, but as the nelglibothood becomes settled It may prove of value. “I Acknowledge tue Gorx»”—ln his new book on “Americanisms,” Professor Scheie do Vere of the university of Virginia discusses the origin of this phrase among others. He says: The Hon. Andrew Stewart, member of con g ess from Pennsylvania, claimed in a recent speech to have caused its first appearance in public, In 1828 he was in congress discussing the principle of ’protection,' and Said, hi the course of his remarks, that Ohio, Indiana and Kentucky sent their haystacks, cornfields and fodder to New York ami Philadelphia for sale. The lion. Charles A. Wickliffe, from Kentucky, Jumped up and said i ‘Why, that is absurd. Mr. Speaker, I call the geilticnutn to order. He is stating an absurdity. We never send hay stacks or cornfields to New York or Philadel phia.’ ‘Well,’ said I, ‘what do you semi?' ‘Wbv, horses, mules, cat le, hogs.’ ‘Well, what makes your horses, mules, cattle, hogs? You feed a htindicd dollars Worth of hay to a horse you just animate and get upon the top of your haystack and tide off to market. How is it with your cattle? You make one of them curvy fifty dollars worth of hav and grass to the eastern market. Mr. Wickliffe, you send a hog worth ten dollars to an eastern market; how much corn docs it take at thirty-three cents a bushel to fatten it?’ hy, thirty bushels.’ ‘Then you put that thirty bushels of corn in the shape of a hog, and make it walk off to the eastern market.’ Mr. Wickliffe Jumped up and said: ‘Mr. Speaker, 1 acknowledge the corn.’ “The other popular account us the phrase ascribes it to the misfortunes us a flaiboatman who had come dowm to New Orleans in two flat boats, laden, the one with corn, the other with potatoes. He was tempted to enter a gambling establishment, and lost his money and his pro duce.

The Production of Iron and Steel Di rectly from the Ore is a problem which has long engaged the attention of inventors in this country and abroad, but which is now believed to haw been solved by a regenerative furnace devised by Mr. Siemens. The process consists in exposing a mass of ore, which may or may not be mixed with reducing agents or fluxes, upon an inclined surface, to the surface action of intense heat, and in introducing at the same time a current or currents of combustible gases, or petroleum oil, in among the mass, from be low the inclined surface, so as to percolate through the mass of ore, affecting or aiding in its reduction and at the same time enveloping its surface where exposed to the flame in a de oxidizing or reducing atmosphere, tending to facilitate its fusion. The fused metal and cin ders accumulating at the foot ot the inclined surface are from time to time removed, while a mass of ore is maintained upon the inclined plane by its own gravitation, fresh ore being supplied from hoppers at the lop of the incline in regular quantities. The process is simple, and the quantity of steel produced is very flue. The London Times of the 18th inst., has the following: The Independence Beige of yesterday announces that on Saturday morning the mar riage of Prince Pierre Bonaparte with Mme. Riff ton was celebrated at the French legation at Brussels. The marriage, it says, was but the consecration of a union contracted years ago, before the civil officer of a small town in Bel gian Luxemburg, named Laeuisme. That union, from which had issued two children, has been disapproved by the ex-emperor, who, by virtue of the laws of the empire, declared the ceremo ny null and void. I lie empire having fallen, the prince desired to legitimize his children, and therefore the parties presented themselves before the French minister, who, in reply tv a question from the prince, said that they were acting strictly according to law'. The marriage con tract was read and duly signed, after which the parties were declared to be regularly married. Bargains in overcoats at I>. H. Eames' one price clothing house. MAKKKTB. NEW YORK.

Such is Dr. Goltlloi' Fisch' DiHCrR. This preparation ought always to be taken along with food. s<> taken, its use is never followed by reaction. On the contrary, the invigorating Influence which it exerts over the nervous system, is decidedly beneficial, in dyspepsia it is chiefly upon the sympathetic nerves that the stimulating qualities of the Bitters are brought to bear, (those nerves regulute the functions of the di gestive system.) The flow of the gastric juice, and of the other alimcntalive fluids Is thus increased; and in like proportion is increased the amount of blood which is thrown into the general circulation. In this manner dyspep la is permanently remedied, and the system st large is invigorated and built up—the Bitters aocom" pitching thh simply by enabling the organism to extract out of food the nourishment that food contains. This subject continued next week under “i'lic Butoher the Best Doctor.” deop«twlw n 27 Arrmt Deeay. When a plant ora tree begins to decay it must needs die. It d tnnot be revitalized. But it is not so with hu mau beings. A human ruin can be repaired, strength endd, restored, though a l>rown leaf ora withered blade of grass can never lie made green again. In the autumn of life, or even in its winter, when nature seems to he giving way under the pressure of yeflis. H is still possible to retard the progress of decay, and to lend to lige mofC than its wonted vigor. As a means of promoting this object, lio letter’s Stonnuh Bitters is unquestionably the most potent ot all restoratives. Il win not make the old young, Imt it will prevent, lessen, or sooth the in tinnities which arc the usual accompaniments of the decline ot life. For debility and a lack of nervous power, from whatever cause arising, it is the medicine that of all others before the worl best deserves the numeol a specific. In purity, in invigorating properties, in Its adaptation to weak stomachs and feeble organizations, it has no competitor among the tonics of the pharma copoeia, nor among proprietory remedies. Besides its strengthening principle, it possesses alterative and regu lating properties of the highest order, and as an anti biliotts medicine is far preferable to any us Ihe propara tlons containing mercury. Time Ins shown that for physical decay, nervous ilcbility. dyspepsia, bilious dis or icrs, and int< nnittent fever, Hostetter’s Bitters is a remedy without a rival. This is the season of the fall ol the leaf; let it remind the ol I, the feeble, the sicklv, tu invigorate and regulate their systems with this great vegetable tonic and alterative. d&wiw n 23 The WORCESTER SAFE DEPOSIT AKD Trust Company.

SAM’L PARKER, n 24 dlw 243 Main st. Better nn necessary to cure is a new order ot things, a good appetite, a good nutrition. Ihe body to grow in flesh and gel fat; then nature is helped. tiie cavities will heal, the matter win ripen and be thrown off in large quantities, and the person regain health and strength. This is the true and only plan to cure t'onsumption. and if a person is very had. if the lungs are not entirely destroyed, or even if one lung is entirely gone, if theer is enough vitality lelt in the other to heal up. there is hope. I have seen many persons cured with only one sound lung, live and enjoy life tn a good old age. This is what Schenck’s medieb es will do tocure Consumption. They will dean out the stomach, sweeten and strengthen it, gel up a good digestion, and give nature the assistance she needs to clear the system of all the disease that is in the lungs, whatever the form may lie. It Is imoortant that, while udng Schenck’s medicines, care should be exercised not to take cold keep in doors in cool and damp weather; avidd night air and take out door exercise only in genial and warm sunshine. 1 wish it distinctly understood that when 1 recommend a patient to be careful in regard to taking cold while using my medicine.-, I do to Ibra special reason. A man who has but partially recovered from t iie effects of a bad cold is far more liable to a relapse than one who has been entirely cured, an 1 it is precisely the same in regard to Consumption. So long as the lungs are not per e. llv healed, just so long is there imminent danger of a full return of the disease Hence it is that Iso strenuously caution pulmonary patients against expo.-ing themselves to an atmosphere that i-not genial and pleasant. Con ti lined consumptive-’ lungs are a mass of sores, which the least rh inge ot atmosphere will inilamc. The grand secrei ot my success with mv medicines consists in my ability to.-utHlue inflammation inst«a 1 of provoking it as many of the faculty do. An inflamed lung cannot with safety to the patient he exposed to the biting blasts of winter or the chilling winds ot spring or autumn It shoull lie carefully shielded from all irriituing Influences The utmost caution should lieobservcd in this particular, as without I* a euro underulmust any circumstances is aii iiniMnsilnlity. The person should be kept on a wholesome and nutri tious diet, and all the medicines continued until the body has re.-tured to it the natural quantity of flesh and strength I was myself eured by this treatment of the worst kind ot Consumption, and have lived to get fat and heartv these many years, with one lung mostly gone. 1 have cured thousands since, ana very many have been cured by this treatment whom I haye never seen. About the lirsl of October I expect to take possesion of my new buildnu at tiie noitheast corncrof Sixth amt Arch streets, where 1 shall be pleased to give advice to all who may require it. Full directions accompany all mv remedies, no that a person in any part ot the world can be readily cured by a strict observance of ILe same. .1. H. SCHENCK. M. I).. Philadelphia. CEUKUJS C.
