Ctt eitumisia grPg. L. X. .13/L32130. Coli , mbia, Saturday, May <l, 1869. Cmc.f.rrncAnoxs, letters, contributions, generally of merit and interest to the reader, will be acceptable from friends from nil quarters, Politica Reform. • We learn that in Philadelphia a reform _club has been 4staited = as' the nucleus of what is intended to be a movement for securing the. correction of the abuses of legislation at Harrisburg. This a ore- Ment• is participated in by members of both parties, and bids fair to be formida blti. The determination is expressed to return to Harrisburg no member of the House .of 1869. Of this we highly ap prove, and - would add that it will improve the character of the Senate very much if certain members of that body whose terms of office will expire in October, are not re-elected. The Republican party has become so sickened and disgu.stedwith the disrepu table conduct of the last legislature, that a selection of honest, sober and.eninpetent men must be made, or defeat will be the . result. The party to survive must be thoroughly purged of Thugs, Corruption~ ists, and other saleable cattle: The good and honest men of both Republican and Democratic parties must- be chosen to retrieve the credit of our legislature and save the Treasury from being plundered. A new order of thiugs must be introduced in the selection of our State Treasurer, who is not to be elected as bertofore, by the farming out of the public funds, and we demand the enactment of a law pro hibiting the Treasurer, preventing this, and him from buying up votes for re-elec tion. Certainly, if the right means are nut adopted to select free, independent, honest and good men, or if fraud shall as heretofore prevail by stuffing ballot-boxes, making intentional miscounts or other cheatery, there will be a remedy applied tlidt ill purify our atmosphere of all corruptionists and intriguing - scallawags and redeem the country from the curse that has for years preyed upon and dis graced us: We mean business now. 'We know what we say, and we give notice to "sellers and buyers," that unless good, honest, sober, faithful and respectable men are selected, there will be troubl.: in the camp. Let no one think himself be yond reach. Fraud and dishonesty must and shall be put down. Stealing is at a discount, and thieves shall no longer pass for saints. Sprague vs. Burnside. The - base attack of the millionaire Sprague,.. in the U. S. Senate on Gen. Burnside and the gallant Soldiers of Rhode Island, has not only brought out an indig nant reply from Senator Anthony, but has called forth an address, which is being signified 'by the soldiers and / citizens of that patriotic-little State, inviting Gen. 33. - tomame a day for meeting his friend who will by their exhibition of confidence, ad minister a scathing rebuke to the insolent Senator. The address is as follows : " We, the undersigned, citizens of Rhode Is land, have read with profound indignation the remarks of the Hon. William Sprague, in the Senate of the United States, in which you and the officers and soldiers from this State under your commend in the 'first battle Of the war, have been most wantonly and maliciously as sailed before the whole country. We fell that a great wrong has been done to you and to the bravo men, both the living and the dead, who servettwith you in the army of the Republic;' and also that the military honor of Rhode bits heed deeply wounded and the fair fame of the state foully traduced in the national' Senate at Washington by one who was bound to cherPdr and protect them. For the purpose, therefore, of rebuking these atrocious calum-• nies, and of renewing both to you and to,those who served with you, the expression of our un diminished gratitude, conadence and respect, we hereby invite you to name a day at your own convenience, on' which you will meet us and others of your fellow-citizen at a public reception in the city of Yro-videnee._ THERE is anthority for Wsserting that the President hits intikated.to, Secretary Bork that le fears the duties.of the Navy Department- are to onerous, - and - that Mr. Boric' would: Only 'he `doing justice' to him self in ietfrini, from the , position. The real cause of:the President's desire to have another-Naval Secretary is suspected to be the iliefficieiky:of 'the" present one, who seems to, have very little acquaintance with the duties of the office.

NEW polar expedition is being arrang ecl,untler command of Dr. Hayes, of former Arctic fame. It has been stated that a public.spirited citizen has offered the Doctor a suitable steamer, and that at a cost of $40,000 the entire exploring party could be kept at the rendezvous proposed for two years and a half. DOCTOR CATCH-ALL volunteers to serve the people another term in the House -of Representatives. Having learned the ropes he can do better than he did last winter. He was a strong advocate of the pester and folder swindle—voted to increase the members' pay from $l,OOO to $1,500, and denounced things gener ally as humbug that interfered with the present mode of legislation. Tim Pickwickian difficulty between Senators Sprague and Abbott has at last been adjusted, and the parties have laid down their arms. The peace treaty was negotiated Tuesday; four of the leading Senators in Congress acting as commission- ers. it, appears that overtures pointing to a future negotiation,were quietly begun by the self-constituted commission on Satur day, and that several efforts at conciliation have since been made. ' The whole thing was merely " a slight misunderstanding„'. on the part of Abbott- - " Bad Taste." The Inrld considers it '• in bad taste" for the Chaplain of the 'United States Senate to.pray for the success of the' Cu bans, and then asks, - was there, not some thing worse than bad taste in the blood thirsty and vindictive, ' addresses to the Throne of Grace' which used to be made by chaplains' of a liltesortdu . ring the recent civil war?" But anything not " Demo cratic" is in bad taste with, the Wortd; and, as the " ministers of the Gospel" of that persudsion during the rebellion never would have prayed for the success of the government had the government not com pelled them to, it is not to be expected that they would even favor such an act in the case of strugelinte Cuba. Dangers Ahead. The Chicago, Tribune asserts that " no proviou's legislative body has exhibited such unblushing disregard if all the re requirements of common decency as the Legislature of Illinois, that is now in ses sion. Taken as a whole, the Legislature of 1869 has been reckless beyond precedent." We believe that it can be truthfully as serted that the complaint of Legislative folly and inefficiency is general all over the country. What - is the reason? Clearly this, that the people will not take the trouble to govern themselves, but rather let the politicians govern them. Is there not cause to fear if things go on iu this way, every year getting worse, that the erookings: of the "Imperialist" about de mocracy being a failure may come to have too .much truth ?• The evils of corrupt legislation have groin so intolerable in our own'Stiate, that it has been seriously pro posed to abolish the Legislature;, and it is notable that this proposition came from a political journal—the Post. When the political journals begin to talk about po litical corruption, it is surely time for the whole people,' regardless of party, to look out for their rights and liberties. Women In Office.

FRIDAY, April 23... • Before the Senate went into private ses sion yesterday, Mr. Nye made a personal explanation in reply to sonic recent strict tares,,,of Senator Sprague, and 'sharply criticised Sprague's course.

Address, Na tional Publishing Company, No. 20 South 7th street, Philadelphia. AL Mind Printer. The .editor of the Greencastle Runner says he found a curiosity M a printing office, at Gosport. One of the gentlemen connect ed with the establishment is a:blind man, and sots up type remarkably well. lie is the first blind printer we ever came across. He.stated to us that his average day's work was 1,000 ems, and that on several occasions he set from 7,000 to 9,000. His letter is dis tributed for him, and his copy is read-by his partner, his . memory being so perfect that he can retain from four to six lines ; when this is finished, he cries the last word "set," when another sentence is read, and thus continues during the day. SOF-Education It is surprising how much may be obtained by devoting a few hour each day to study during a series of years. Gibbon produced his great work, rather by the regularity than the protracted nature of daily studies. Franklin became the wisest and ono of the best read of his cotemporaries, in the midst of most incessant labor. And if the work man with his healthful mind, so well pre pared for the reception of knowledge, will give two hours each day to careful study, he may in a. few years, surpass in general information the great body of college grad uates, who so often obtain a diploma with out deserving it, or who have laid aside their learning the moment they left their preceptors. Ile muy.elevate his own intel lect by coming into comMunion with the eminent intellects of the past. The 'Newspaper Seand:Vl. The publication made yesterday by the New York Sun, concerning Mr. John Rus sel Young, and his management of certain newspapers, has created a great sensation among the public generally, but especially among newspaper men. The documentary evidence furuised by the various letters is very strong. To etrect this we have a state ment front Mr. John D. Stockton, of the .sforning Post, which we copy to-day. Far ther developments are hinted from the other side, and as legal proceedings have been begun 1 n New York concerning the business the public is likely to hear enough of it. As the matter now stands, the whole of the in dependent press of the country must look upon the developments as scandalous and disgraceful to the last degree.—Plaila. Bul letin. A. pithy Sermon to Voung.lllen. You are the architects of your own for tunes. Rely upon your own strength of body and soul. Take for your motto self reliance, honesty and industry; for your stitr, faith, perseverance and pluck, and in scribe on your banner, 'De just and fear not." Don't take too much advice; keep at the helm and steer your own ship. Strike out, Think well of youself. Fire above the mark you intend to hit. Assume . your position. Don't practice excessive humility ; you can't get above your level, as water don't run up hill—put potatoes in a cart over a rough road and the small potatoes will go to the bottom. Energy, invincible determination, with a right mo tive, are the levers that rule the world. The great art of commanding is to take a fair share of the work. Civility costs nothing and buys everything. Don't drink ; don't smoke; don't swear; don't gamble; don't steal; don't deceive; don't tattle. Be po lite; be generous; be kind. Study hard, play hard. is in earnest. Be self-reliant. Read good books. Love your fellow-men as your God ; love your country and obey the laws ; love truth ; love virtue. Always do what your conscience tells you to be a duty, and leave the consequence with God. Not Too Particular. We observe at the time that Sprague was startling the country with his eloquence that his oratory was a little mixed in its ideas; but we did not know it was so bad as it has proved. lie now says to Abbott: "The paragraph of my speech referred to was written and in manuscript some time before it was dilivered in the Senate and be fore you participated in the debate, and therefore was not intended to apply to you." Yet this obnoxious paragraph, begins thus " In answer to the tirade of the Senator from iSrevada and the Senator from North Caro lina I am reminded of a little illustration." Then comes the puppy. - Evidently Abbott was eager to bo satisfied.

SCRENCR'S PULMONIC SYRUP - - - - - Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, will care Con sumption. Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, if taken according to directions. They are alt three to be taken at the same time. They cleanse the stomach. relax the liver, and put it to work; then the appetite becomes good ; the food digests and =lces good blood; the patient begins to grow hi flesh; the dis eased matter ripens to the lungs, and the patient outgrows the disease and gets well. This is the only way to cure consumption. To these three medicines Dr. 1. 11, Sehenek, of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pal mdale. Syrup ripens. die morbid matter in the limes, nature throws it elf by an easy expectoration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a slight cough will throw it off, and the patient has re-t. and the lungs begin to heal. To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver. so tent the Pannonia Syrup and the food will make good blood. Schenck's Mandrake Pills net upon the liver, re moving till obstructions. relax the ducts of the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, end the liver is soon r e lieved •, the stools will show what the Pills can do ; nothing has ever been invented except calomel (a deadly poison which it very dangerous to use ex cept eau great care), that will unlock a gall-bladder and start tile secretions of the liver like Selicnek's Mandrake Pills. Liver Complaint is o ne or the most prominent causes of Consumption. Schenck's Seaweed Tonic Is a gentle stimulant and alterative, and the alkali iu the Sesweed, which this pa escr-ptlon is made of, assists the stomach to throw out the gastric juice, to dis•iolve the food with the Pulmonie Syrup, and it is made into good blood without fermentation or souring in the stomach. The great reason why physicians do not cure con sumption is, they try to do too much I they give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to stop night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they de range the whole digestive powers, locking up the se cretions. and eventually the patient sinks and dies. Dr. Schenck, in his treatment, does not try to stop a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. Remove the cause, and they trill all stop of their own accord. No one can be cured of Consumption, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Canker, Ulcerated Threat, un less the liver and stomach are made healthy. If a poison has consumption, of course the lungs are in some way diseased,either tubercles, abscesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or the lungs are a mass of inflammation and fast decaying. In such cases what must be done? It is not only the lungs that arc westing, but it is the whole body. The stomach and neer have lost their power to make blood out of food. Now the only chance is to take Schenck's three medicines, a inch will bring up a tone to the stomach, the patient will begin to want food, it will digest easily and make good blood ; then the patient begins to gain in nest), and as soon as the body begins to grow,the lungs commence to heal up, and the patient gets fleshy and well. This is the only way to cure consumption. When there is no lung disease, and only Liver Com plata t and Dyspepsia, Schenek's E.eatresd Tonic and Mandrake Pills are seine eat without the Put monk; Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all bilious complaints, us they are perfectly harmless, Dr. Schenck, who lies enjoyed uninterrupted health for ninny years past, and now weighs pounds, tats a asteii awry to a mere skeleton, in the %cry last swage of Pulmonary Consumption, his phy.rnisna having pronounced tos erso hopeless and abandoned him to his fate.

Scrofulous affections and disorders, whirls were aggravated by. the scrofulous contam ination until they were painfully afflicting, have been radically cured In such great nuM tiers in almost every section of the country that the public scarcely need to be informed of its virtues or uses. Scrofulous polaou is one of the most destruc tive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the constitution, and invites theattack of en feebling or fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it seems to breed in fection throughout the body, and then, on come favorable occasion, rapidly develop Into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the aurface or among the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed In the,r, or it shows its presence by eruptiOns on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some part of the body.
