DONE
The Government—The rumor of a triple
alliance between England, France and Spain
to protect the interests of these nations in
Central American waters against the United
States, it is claimed is not credited by our
Govern men t.—Colored delegations have ask

tions agaMet such appointments in the
South.—Greatly has the financial prospect

ployees are still being discharged from the

accept the situation.—The Internal Reve.
nue receipts, on one day last week, were a
million dollars.—A dispatch of May 14th,
from Washington, which we are loth to be
lieve, says that the President's family, and
the families of two of the Cabinet Ministers,
visited the theatre this evening.—The N. Y.
Tribune of Saturday declares that not less
than one thousand persons have been mur
dered because of their politics in the South
ern States during the last year, of whom at
least nine hundred and eighty were Repub
licans, and that not twenty of the murderers
have been brought to justice.-200 Luther
an ministers visited the President on Sat
urday.—lt is claimed that Mr. Motley's
instructions are in accordance with the
views of Mr. Sum ner,—Gen. Sickles is to
succeed Mr. Hale at. Madrid.
The Country at Large.—ln completing
the Pacific Railroad, on Monday, the 10th,
the telegraph apparatus in all the large
cities of the United States was so arranged
that each stroke of the hammer which drove
the last spike into the last rail of the great
::on roadway across the continent beat re
sponsive strokes on the telegraphic instru
ments.—The overland trade with Asia has
commenced. On Monday the 10th an in
voice of Japan tea was shipped from San

sociation (Woman Suffrage) had a stormy
time, the women, in the art of turning a
public meeting into hopeless uproar and

N. Y. State.—Another bad rail on the
Long Island road broke, May 14th, and
several employees were hurt,—The Legisla
ture adjourned last week. Even the Demo
cratic Governor did good service in holding
it in check. Every one of his vetoes ap
pears to have been needed and every one

bare majority in the Senate, and that ma
jority was manageable by the usual appli
ances of corrupt parties and corporations.
Thus,,at the last moment, New York city
was saddled with a Tax levy, about two
millions greater than it should have been.
Among the items are $3,000 for an Episco

Alms House farm are to be sold to the
Penna. University at SS,OOO per acre. It
cost the city $l7O per acre.—Ten hours pay
for eight hours work seems to be foe motto
of the Navy Yar I workmen here as else
where. We hope the President's upright

the men now in the Navy Yard don't like
it, no doubt thousands can be found willing
to work according to the simple rule of the
pay they get.—li is claimed that the ques
tion of a Navy Yard at League Island is
unsettled, although the investigating corn

valid plea by a Vost Master, who held -of-.
five in 1861, and who was now sued by-the
National Government for public monies
then in his -possession.----=Mr. W.,W. Corco

Saturday reached their highest point, some

20 premium in gold-,- 120 gold being 'equal
to 165 currency.

Cortes about reacquiring Gibraltar, and its
necessby at some more favorable time was
conceded by the ministers. An amend

BRANDRETH'S PILLS
To the Public
Brandreth's Pills have been known and used by your
grandfathers and grandmothers. They are always sate•
and sure to do you good. They are purely vegetable
and diminishes the death principle; some think they
increase the principle of life. But in taking out bad
humors from the blood, they do make the body lighter,
and thus seem to add energy. Many families have used
them for upwards of forty years.
They are the beet medicine f'r Colds, for all Bilious
Affections, for Fullness about the Head or Heart, and in
all Cutaneous and Contagions Diseases they are unrivalled
In all cases in which a purgative is indicated, no medi
cine yet known can be compared to them. Two hundred
physicians have testified that Brandreth's Pills : are en
perior to all other purgatives whatever. Sold by . all'
Druggists. may 6 Im
