This arises from fermentation of food in the stomach, instead of its healthy digestion. If a horse ffe brought in tired and is fed immediately, and fills his stomach, there may not be sufficient gastric juice to perform its office. The food will then ferment. Soon the horse wilkbloat; the breathing becomes hard, with frothing at the mouth. This may not be confounded with the hard breathing iu luug fever, since, in the latter, there is no bloating. The passage of the stomach and bowels become clogged with the masses of undigested food, the gas arising from the fermentation cannot pass out of tho stomach. wbkH become -imip diftpnragiff forward so that the lungs cannot expand, the breath becomes short, and the rapid breathing will shortly iuduce frothing, [f tho trouble reaches this stage, the horse >vi 11 rarely live more than an hour. In this tiscasc, tune is ot tlie greatest value. As soon as you sec your horse is bloating, give omething to stop the fermentation. For his. a heaping tablespoonful of saloratus is he best thing. Spirits of hartshorn in a lose of half an ounce, very much diluted, is Iso good. If now you have checked the ermentation for five minutes, the next thing s to make the gas pass off. To do this, give farm water injections freely, injecting all he animal will hold, if it is a pailful. Turn he horse's head down hill, and use a small orce pump, if you have one, or if not, use piece of rubber tube which should be inertcd as far as it will go with ease, and the nd of tho tube ttiay t^on. be turned up and funnel put in, into whicVturn warm water, tftcr you have put all the horse will hold, urn him about and let it pass away, and epeat the operation till tho bowels become rec, and the gas passes off. Meantime, nother hand should be preparing a dose of hysic, which should be from onc-lialf to iree-fourths of an ounce of aloes. This, if lit iuto water by itself, will uot dissolve, ut, if put iuto a pint of warm water in hich a heaping tablespoonful of saleratus as been dissolved, the aloes will dissolve, nd the salcratus will be useful as an autistic to stop the fermentation ; to this can a added some molass.s to make it more alatable. Should the animal seem iu much pain, ive two ounces of laudauum or au ounce hould the physic not operate in an hour, half an hour, if it is a very severe case, :poat the dose, keepiujf up the injections uring the time. If there is stricture from kinking of the jwels, there will be no help. The lcctuir bad known a horse to die iu thirty minLes, iu spite of all efforts. Aconite is metitner given to cure colic, but it was of j value; nor is salt or vinegar, or both, use. Chalk and vinegar, which are mictiuics given, the chalk first and then 10 vinegar, will alone produci colic, and lould never be given, as the effervescence ay give pressure sufficient to burst the jwels.

TILDEN AN D THE ELECTORAL ?JLL?II SIDE FACTS COMING OUT/ The recent letter of Lieutenant Aovern< Dorsbciuicr, declaring he kncwfoovcrnc Tildcn Was opposed to the passngyof the la creating the Klcctoral Commit/ion, is tli subject of much comuieut in polticaL circU hero, especially by leading Petfocrats, wh have intiuiutc knowledge of allthc materit facts, and are in a position to know how tins act came to be passed. J When the conspiracy was first develops* by which Louisiana nu'd Florida were to b captured through returning boards, ^ud tyi Zach.JChandier telegraphed over the countr on the 8th November, "Hnyes has 1^5 volt and is elected/' right in the faco of tYrT iYr^>.U;'"irf lujdyu of thcTVnTiemu Penmcratic Oouiiiiiftti^wl urged to appeal to the country, and to |>l| pare measures to defeat this daring tchem to steal the Presidency. Had Mr. Tilde and his friends pursued this course prompt! and energetically it is believed the eonspim tors would have halted in their design whe confronted with a popular majority of a mi lion of white votes and a quarter of a millioi of white and black, independent of a clea and honest majority in the Electoral Col leges. The New York managers hesitate* to take this responsibility, and of course the consulted with Mr. Tilden. Their excus was that Congress was about to meet, and i would be better to wait and take counsel o the Democrats in both houses. When Con gross came together on the first Monday ii December no line of action was marked out and opinions were loose and unsettled. Nat urally enough the Democrats looked to Mr Tilden as their leader, and expected from bin some suggestion of positive policy. Nom was made. Meantime the conspiracy wa: growing in strength every day by the supine nets, distracted counsels and absence of uni ty on the Democratic side, because there wa: no r.'llluiiirr r>niiif n-lw i-n llinii. cIimihyOi J "*C ? lilljiii be concentrated. Troops were drawn t< Washington, and preparations were mad< for a state of flagrant war, about which tin public has been but indifferently iufortncd Finding that New York would not inov< or lead the way, the Western Democrats ir Ohio, Indiana and Illinois made detnonstra tions of a purpose not to submit tamely ti the intended fraud. If that movement hat bceu seconded warmly by meetings over tlx North?lbr the South had its hands tied ami was little more than a passive sp ctatoi -^neppt m.gnrstm unUcu, irc*uul formidable. Mr. Hewitt and his advisor: turned a cold shoulder on this inovetncni and discouraged it in every way. so that ii may be said to have fallen stillborn. \\ itl this failure disappeared the last hope o; crushing out the conspiracy by a popular rising against it. Mr. Zach. Chandler ant his associates were elated, and the Demo crats were depressed. During all this time Democratic members of the Senate and House of Representatives were constantly in conference with Mr. Tilden, without boinj able to obtain from him anv nlan or decision - - _ -- ?I which would sulidify the party. The session was drifting on and the d:\ last approaching for a count of the vote. Mr. Hdinuuds had drafted his bill for tVc L'.omiiussiou and it was refertetl to a committee. In this state of thing?, and before either party was couu^ittcd absolutely, three members of tilts House of lleprcseiitatives went to hew York and consulted with Mr. Tildcn, bearing messages from some of the most distinguished senators. The alternative presented were a resolute call upon the people to defend their rights, submission to the iniquity or the passage of the Electoral bill. Mr. Tildcn heard them patiently, considered all the points, and closed hy saying ' don't be in a hurry." Others saw him without ^ettins: any decisive iudement or advice one set believing him for the bill and another against it. Under these circumstances the bill became a law. The Democrats were never confident of success, hut they were encouinged by the belief that Judge Davis would be a member of the Commission, and they expected much from his impartiality, fiioral courage and practical mind, in sweeping 11 way the devices and deceptions aud frauds of the returning hoards, lie was unexpectedly elected to the Senate, and having decided to accept that place refused to sit an the Commission oven if chosen. The rest is recent history, and need nut >c repeated. Mr. Dorsbciuior'lenient unchallenged, but it must be said he enoyed a confidcuco froui Mr. Tildcu which ,vas strangely withheld from his best friends u Congress and from the leaders of the >arty who were entitled to know his opinor.s on the subject. Mr. Tildcu has many liiiusiuuiuikc qualities, blithe is not a leader of men. His mind is slow, deliberate md well poised, but he lacks the spirit of >rompt action and of cnorgct'19 command. 11c uiay be said to have thrown away the iresidency from this const itutionU organism. If Mr. Tilden had given the IcaftTTTrfii of lisapproval the Electoral bill never would iavc passed.' As it was, his nephew, Mr. iYdton, was established with a large suite it the Arlington Hotel, during the whole rioter, as the accredited manager of his undo. I>iit lo.' never pretended to be g iih-t (In* bill, nor did Mr. Hewitt or any >f Mr Tildcu's confidential circle. I ' . w ? I- .A GRAPHIC PICTURE OF THE PERUVIAN EARTHQUAKE. >1" ..Captain .Collcy, of the ship Alida, whoso , >r vessel was destroyed by the great earthquake , w which occured ofi" the coast of Peru last j 10 month, has just returned to this city. A | ks Herald reporter yesterday afternoon visited o tho Captain at the office of Messrs. \V.

The night was very ! dark, hut simultaneously with tho shock a 1 ^ bluish phosphorescent light seemed to burst 1 " from the hilltops. The earth appeared to - have cracked open and to he vomiting forth I l" flames. The lirst shock was immediately t succeeded by another still heavier, and this t was followed by a great tidal wave. The j II sight became at once terrific. There were I ,r twenty-seven vessels in the harbor, ail drag- s j ging their anchors and floating about at the t 1 mercy of the waves. Tho sea was very high, s ^ and currents were running in all directions \ 0 at the rate of eight or nine knots an hour. No small boats could keep afloat. The launches were put out, but the sea turned them right over. In less time than it takes to tell , 1 it an immense wave was bearing us to the ' ' shore. Our ship, tho Alida, struck the rocks ( and commenced to break up very fast.? ' There were eighteen feet oi water in Iter ' i ,?i T l_iv .1.- i- n-i - > ( mien i iui?, me wrct-K. ?> nun we sirucK ^ the depth of water on the rocks was about t * fifteen feet, but twenty minutes afterward I t threw the led over and found this had in- ^ creased to ton fathoms. The length of the * wave might be calculated from these data. 1 Seven other ships were driven along shore I1 ' with us, and were lost. All the other vos- p : scls in the harbor were seriously damaged. * ) Fortunately, however, the crews all got off f ' safely. s TilK TOWN I>KSTItOY HI). 1 1 ''The people on shore were not so lucky. v The shocks of earthquake had laid prostrate j all the buildings of the little town.

The inhabitants, P t who numbered about four thousand, had t taken to the mountains at the lirst shock of 1 P the earthquake, hut the wave was too ' ^ quick for some of them and about one bun- P ^ dred and seventy persons were drowned.

'' i We had absolutely no warning of the terrible disaster. The direction of the shock b * seemed to be from north to south. A vol- Sl i cano twenty-eight miles to the north of w i where we were, which had long been quieI scent, broke out again. The greatest elova, lion of the tidal wavo that followed was ,s about sixty feet over the highest part of the !li towu. The place was a considerable depot Sl for guano. All the guano boats, condensers 01 and machines were totally destroyed. The e actual loss must have been very great and d tire damage to the towu will not be repaired for many years. We had twenty-one men, ai all told, on the Alida, and none were lost. The American Consul at Callao took charge |,( of us and sent us home. For a fortnight after the tidal wave had occurred there were t severe shocks of earthquake along the coast |j( of Peru.
