"Our Congressman," the Honorable
J. Cessna, manufacturer of Postmasters
and Internal lie venue officials for the
Sixteenth Congressional district, has
returned home. The Honorable J. is
a -member of the Committee on Elec
tions. This is the Committee of which
the Hon. iI. L. Dawes, of Massachu
setts, (another radical Congressman)
recently said, in a public lecture, that
no respectable man would he caught
serving on it. But "our Congress
man" determined to lend it respecta
bility, by going on it himself. His
connection with those reputable trans
actions in our State Senate, the foisting
of MeConaughy into the seat filched
from Duncan and the supplanting of
Shugert by Robison, invested his
name with a wondrous luminousness.
As a rotten mackerel shines by moon
light, so do the claims of Radical con
testants to seats in Congress become
transparent under the effulgence of the
great respectability of the attorney for
MeConaughy and Robison. But we
said "Our Congressman" has returned
home. lie had started for South Car
olina, where the Committee on Elec
tions had a little job to put up for the
approaching sessiou. Several Radi
cals had failed to get a majority of the
votes cast for members of Congress in
their -respective districts, other part ies
having beaten them a few thousand
votes, and it became necessary for the
Committee on elections to interfere in ;
behalf of the former. But, sad to re- 1
late, when the Honorable J. reached j
Washington, it was discovered that j
the last vent of the contingent fund had
been expended and that the Committee [
on elections would have to go to South
Carolina at the risk of not getting their
expenses voted them at the next Con
gress, or not go at ail. "Our Con
gressman," - although buruing with :
anxiety to re-establish the respectabil- j
ity of the Committee by personal par
ticipation in its labor, concluded that
he would face about and return to Bed
ford. Much as he desired to serve his
country and his party, when there was ,
to be uo fee for his services and the j
chances were that his expenses would
come out of his own pocket, he deter
mined to let country and party take
care of themselves. Therefore, "Our
Congressman" came home. Appli
cants for inarshalships to take the
census, please take notice.

The death of theeminent philanthro
pist, <leorge Peftbody, which occurred
at his late resilience, in London, on
the evening of the 3d inst., will cause
the deepest regret wherever his name
and benevolent deeds have become
known, Mr. Peabody was bom in
Dan vers, Mass., February 18,1795, and
was the son of poor parents. His ear
ly education was acquired in the dis
trict schools, and at the age of elev
en he was placed as assistant to a gro
cer in his native town. In hissixteenth j
year he was employed by his brother
as clerk in a dry goods store at New
bury port. Subsequently he removed j
with an uncle to Georgetown, 1). C.,
w here for two years the dry goods bus
iness was conducted in George's name,
though at tbe time he was a minor.—
He next engaged with Mr. Llisha
Kiggs, of Baltimore, in the wholesale
dry goods trade in thatcity. £be bus
iim* under Mr. pea body's excellent
management rapidly increased,and in
a short time branch houses were estab
lished in Philadelphia and New York.
While engaged in the wholesale trade
Mr. Peal >ocly often visited Europe on
business, and was frequently entrust'd
by the State of Maryland with impor
tant uegoeiatious, which were always
co uducted with signal ability. In 1837
lie commenced to reside permanently
in London, where he established him
self as a merchant and banker. In 1857
he gave the sum of $300,000, with a
pledge to increase it to $->OO,OOO, to
found the Peahody Institute in Balti
more, an institution for the promotion
of science, literature and line i.rts. He
subsequently increased the gift to sl,-
000,000, and more recently added to
this sum $500,000.
Mr. Peahody also made munificent
contributions to institutions in his na
tive town of Dauvers, Mass., also for
lodging houses for the ioor of London,
and for professorships in Yale and oth
er colleges; but his hist ami greatest
gift was his donation of some two mil
lions of dollars to the cause of educa
tion in the Southern States.
The memory of GeorgePaabOdy will
be revered through nil future time and
his generosity and philanthropy will,
as the years roll around, never fail to
.awaken the veneration and gratitude
of mankind.
"TIN BAY" is the title of a new
penny morning paper published in
Philadelphia, by Alex. Cummings,
Esq. It is independent in politics.—
The editorial department evinces
much ability and the paper makes a
neat and handsome appearance. It
is, in short, an excellent newspaper,
tilling a void which has long existed
in the Philadelphia world of letters.
THE ELECTIONS LAST WEEK!
Democracy Triumphant!
NEW YORK. NEW JERSEY AND MA
RYI.AND CARRIED BY IN
CREASED MAJORITIES!
CI rent Rains in Massachusetts. Illinois,
Wisconsin anl .Minnesota !
The result of the elections held on
Tuesday, 2d inst., shows, at the same
time, the vitality and recuperative
power of the Democratic paity and the
gradual but eertain disintegration and
decadence of the radical organization.
New York has elected the whole
Democratic State Ticket by majorities
ranging from .20,000 to 30,000 ! Last
year Seymour carried the State by
10,000. What is better, we have both
branches of the legislature for the first
time in fifteen years. The snap judg
ment ratification of the Fifteenth A
mendment passed by the last legisla
ture of that state, will, therefore, be re
pealed. All hail, glorious New York !
New Jersey, ever faithful New Jer
sey, goes Democratic by an increased
popular majority, and elects a Demo
cratic legislature which will reject the
Fifteenth Amendment and elect a 17-
nited States Senator in placeof the car
pet-bagger, Oat tell.
Maryland, our Maryland, elects the
Democratic ticket In every county, a
unanimously Democratic legislature,
and the Democratic State Ticket by at i
least 30,000 majority!
Massachusetts electsClaflin, Radical,
by about 10,000 over J. Q. Adams,
Democrat, and Chamberlain, Working
men's candidate. Last year Claflin's
majority was about 75,000. The Dem
crats have also some sixty members of
the lower house, nine Senators and
one member of the Governor's Coun
cil. Heretofore but few Democrats
have been elected to eithe>r branch of
the legislature.
Wisconsin goes Radical, as usual, but
by a small majority. Last year Grant
carried the State by 21,000.
Minnesota is in doubt, even at this
writing. If the Democratic candidate
for Governor is beaten at al!, the ma
jority for his opponent is very meagre.
Last year Grant had 15,000.
Illinois elected county officers and
members of a Constitutional Conven
tion. The radicals lost heavily. In Chi
cago and Cook county, which formerly
gave from 8,000 to 10,000 radical major
ity, the usual order of things has been
completely revised, and the Democrat
ic Citizens' Ticket is elected by 10,000
majority.
West Virginia elects a liberal legis
lature. The radicals are divided in
that State on the question of continued
disfranchisement of white men, as well
as on the subject of enfranchising the
blacks. The proscriptionists, or "Bit
ter enders," as they are called, have
been badly beaten. The Democrats
and "Let-ups" have a majority in both
branches of the legislature. The odious
registration law, t>y which about one
half of the white men of the State
were held in politjcgl bondage, will be
repealed,and hereafter West Virginia
will range herself in the Democratic
column.
Auspicious and cheering results are
these, yet at the same time they are a
terrible commentary on the loss of in
fluence of our own once intluential but
now degraded State. The time was
when the voice of Pennsylvania de
cided for either pqrty, New Y'ork and
New Jersey were certain to echo the
decision, and the Western States just
as sure to endorse the judgment wiih
an overwhelming vote. But not so
now. The re-election of John W.
Geary, notorious us a trickster, a cor
ruptionist and has so
disgusted the thinking men of neigh
boring States, that they fell it their
duty to show their contempt for the
recreancy of Pennsylvanians whose
lead they w*ere formerly proud to fol
low. The watch-word will no longer
be, "As goes Pennsylvania, so goes
the Union !" Alas, no! The glory of
the Old Keystone has departed, and
will not be restored until her stiff
ueeked children turn from their evil
ways auil march again under the Dem
ocratic banner.
A CORRESPONDENT of- the Philadel
phia Inquirer states that the cost of
taking testimony in the Louisiana con
tested seat* in Congress, is over #20,000.
The Democratic candidates were elec
ted by from 5,000 to 10,000 majority,
but it would never do to allow so
many Democrats to get into Congress.
Hence the "loyal men" in that body
got up a contest and spent $30,000 of
the people's money to prevent these
Democratic representatives from get
ting their seats. J. Cessna had a fin
ger in this pie.

| Correspondence of the Bedferd Gazette.
PHILADELPHIA, NOV. 4, 1869.
THE FAIR.
In our last, we promised you some
| notes of the Great Fair for the Or
phan's Home. We have visited it
night and day, and we never beheld a
| mo tefairy scene than was presented
{in Horticultural Hall. At first you
j are almost bewildered by the grand
' and beautiful array around and above
I you. Then you are charmed and de
'■ lighted with the music, the brilliant
streams of light, the surging mass of
fashion and beauty, and the elegant
handiwork of tender fingers, and cost
ly contributions of kind doners on ev
ery hand.
We do not know that more generous
j and substantial sympathies have ever
1 been manifested than in this effort
for the Orphans. And with pleasure
we say it. Neither have any had rea
son to object to the manner in which
it has been conducted. There were
none of the scenes usually enacted at
such places, as lotteries, chancing, and
pilfering by ruse. The frequent ways
of doubtful propriety, resorted to at
such times for the purpose of getting
off articles, were discarded, and gentle
men could bring ladies there without
being pounced upon by harpies or pul
led to pieces, in the name of charity by
splendid beggars. You could spend
your time (and money too, if you
wished) without dread, and go home
with a light heart, and, we trust, a
lighter purse. There were four separ
ate departments—The Fair room, the
Restaurant, the Art Gallery and Mu
seum. When you enter the first, your
eye catches sight of the stage which is
a scene of enchantment. The back
ground is a rich Tropical view with
surroundings of rare exotics and South
American plants, presenting a life pict
ure, such as we often imagine in read
ing books of Oriental lands. In the
midst of these are the musicians dis
coursing sweet strains, and the effect
is such as carries you back to the days
of Alhambra. And now, on every
hand, are tables loaded with every im
aginable thing. And if any of your
fair readers can mention an article or
novelty in the fair line which is not
here, we will give them credit for un
bounded inventive genius. The first
table to the right, as you enter, is a
confection table where you can regale
your taste from a sugar plum to a
Dutch cake as large as a wash tub.
Then we have Fancy tables of every
description. One of silver ware
another of paintings and statuary.
The Floral table looks like a
summer garden, and affords a pleas
aat retreat from the crowd. There is
a table from Easton, Rev. Ruthrauff,
pastor, (formerly of Schellsburg) and
presided over by his accomplished
daughter. St. Mark's (Rev. Kunkel
man, pastor, formerly of Schellsburg)
has large and elegant tables. There is
St. Steven's table (Rev. Hunt, pastor,
and formerly of Schellsburg) and it is a
gem. (What do you think of Schells
burg now, Mr. Editor?) Well, in a
word, there were twenty four tables
and presided over by one hundred and
twenty-five ladies. As we pass along
we come to "Jacob's Well," and of
course you want a drink of that for the
name of the thing. Accordingly you
pay a little Jacob a dime and he
draws you a —glass of lemonade ! Bah!
says the horrified Israelite. We come
to the office of the President of the
Fair, Mayor Fox. We congratulate
him upon its success. "Yes," says he,
"and lam delighted. But to the la
dies belong all the credit—to the la
dies." We know what we are talking
about when we say that he is sensible
and right. And just here is a good
place to go off on a panegyric, and say
some fine things about woman; but
then we hardly have time, and put it
off for another occasion. Our readers
of the rugged sex can fill in for them
selves. In addition to Easton, Bethle
; hem and Norristown and Reading were
also represented. But time would fail
us to tell of the goods, fancy work,
paraphernalia toys, wax-work, pain
| tings and curiosties found on these and
all the tables. It was an endless maze
of varied beauty, splendor and richness,
and for two weeks were the ladies con
stantly and busily engaged getting off
their stock. Much as there was, it
gradually melted away, as snow in the
sun, and that hall, at firs* crammed
and packed with the work of kind
hands, was left stripped and forelorn.
Down in
THE RESTAURANT
was a grand place for the followers of
Epicurus. The tables night after
night were crowded with a hungry
throng. And flitting here and there,
with waiters in hand, were scores of
Philadelphia's beautiful girls. These
pretty waiting maids naturally drew
down cadaverous looking swells as
well as portly men who devoured oys
ters and icecream with sqeh*a gusto
as put a glow of eminent satisfaction
upon the face of the caterer. And
what is the reason you always eat more
oysters at night and with greater rel
ish than at any other time? Now,
suppose you add to them the spice of
about fifty pretty waiting maids, and
one of them asks you, "'How many,
Sir? Stewed or fried?" What would
you say ? Why about a half ft bushel.
Miss, both stewed and fried. And
should you ask, "What else have you?
.She would answer: We have chicken
in all styles, and cold ham, bec^f,snipe,
reed birds, bam and eggs, noodle soup,
sweet potatoes, duck, fish of every
kind, tea and coffee and chocolate ; we
have boiled cabbage and turnips, pota
toes and celery, piekels and pies, and if
there is any dish that we have cot, we
will order it for you. And you an
swer: That is sufficient, just bring
me them t
THE ART GALLERY.
You must not suppose that a Gal
lery ia a place where you will see a lot
of "galls." In the Academy of Fiue
Arts you will see some of that kind,
and occasionally you will see a brace
in this one; but here you are borne in
to the ideal and dream land, and find a
fine collection of elegant paintings and
rare statuary. For our part, we never
thought there was anything inside of
a house so near the divine as an ex
quisite painting — except a woman.—
And here you have a grand feast of
the esthetic. After the dust and ashes
of the actual, you can let your soul
slip out into the ideal and beautiful,
and look thro' these loop holes into the
grand and indefinable. That is a poor
thought which can lie expressed in
words; and that is a very lean feeling
which can portray itself with a miser
able steel pen or goose quill. But in a
Gallery of Art, thought gets loose
and flies untamed, and feeling is wrap
ped up in itself so as to hold a divine
commune with that which outreaches
the actual. An Art Gallery is a sweet
place, and no one can go from it with
out feeling that he is better and happi
er.
We cannot here run over the paint
ings and statuary. Suffice it to say that
it was in keeping with the great idea
had in getting up the fair. But we
cannot say this much of
THE MUSEUM.
It was a regular "take in and yet
every one enjoyed it exceedingly. It
consisted of copies of Paintings, Statu
ary, &c\, by the great Masters, Miner
als, plants, Natural History Speci
mens, Curiosities, <fcc., &e. We can
give you but a few of the specimens.
We enter and take up a Catalogue
and find the following :
1. Prospect of a Storm P. A. Rasol,
(is an old umbrella.)
2. Last Lay of the Minstrel .....C. Hicken,
(is a hen egg.)
9. One oi the Andes after Church,
(is a picture of Andrew Johnson.)

ti. Sweet Sixteen T. Akem,

Among the portraits, was that of
Fish, represented by a Scotch herring,
and Kilpatrick by a veritable Irish
shitlaleh. And so thro' the pro
gramme of nearly 200 rare and curious
things. It was well designed and af
forded great amusement to the visitors.
The "Little Bear" had an immense
run, and was the cause of unbounded
merriment. But we must close. It
is gratifying to say, that the net pro
ceeds of the Fair amount to twenty
three thousand dollars. On condition
that twenty thousand were raised by
the Fair, a gentleman of Boston
pledged himself for five thousand ad
ditional. This will plant the House
solid and give a fine margin for furth
er effort. And so mote it ever be.
The highest dictate of humanity is,
feed the hungry and clothe the naked,
and protect the poor and homeless.
This great work has been accomplish
ed by the General Council.

(HlEf JISTKi; CHASE IX THE
CABINET.
An interesting letter of Chief Jus
tice Chase to James A. Hamilton, son
of Alexander Hamilton, has appeared
in a volume of Hamilton's recently
published reminiscences.. Mr.Lincoln
once said that he had no influence with
his administration, and it seems from
this letter that theinfiuence of the Secr
etary of the Treasury, beyond his own
sphere, in which he was all-powerful,
was, also, not as great as Mr. Chase
might havedesired. The letter is as fol
lows:
"WASHINGTON, D. G'.,)
July 15, 1862. )
"M Y DEAR SIR : Your excellent note
is just received. I will send it to the
President, and shall be glad if he will
read it and heed it. I nave seen little
of him for some days past; when he
thinks fit to seek my counesl or to im
part his own, I attend his summons.
Otherwise, I confine myself to my own
special work. What I think ought to
be done is so generally left undone, and
what 1 think ought not to he done, so
generally done, that I am led to doubt
greatly the value of my views on any
subject. "Your friend,
"S. P, CHASE."
FITLY SPOKEN.— Tiie outrageous
swindle by which some of the demo
cratic candidates in Philadelphia were
deprived of certificates of election, has
disgusted even some of the radical ed
itors. The Norristown Independent,
a thorough-going radical paper,
in an article under the caption of
"Fraud and Forgery," thus alludes to
this disreputable business:
"We trust every republican Journal
in the will State censure with such terms
of severe reproach as the subject mer
its, the gross forgery of false returns in
Philadelphia, by which two democrats,
who were honestly elected to office,
were cheated out of the certificates of
election, by an alteration of the figures,
We trust the guilty parties, whoever
they may be, will be brought to speedy
punishment. Such rascals as have
done this dirty work, bring the party
into disrepute, and destroy its useful
ness and power. Let them be spurned
and kicked from all decent society.

er, having- been restored to health in a few weeks,
by a very simple remedy, after having suffered
several years with a severe lung affection, and that
dread disease, Consumption, is aniious to make
known to his fellow-sufferers the means of cure.
To all who desire it, he will send a copy of the
prescription used (free oi charge.) with the direc
tions for preparing and using the same, which
they will find a sure cure for Consumption, Asth
ma, Bronchitis, etc. The objeof of the advertiser
in sending the Prescription is to benefit the af
flicted, and spread information which be conceives
to be invaluable; and he hopes every sufferer will
try his remedy, as it will oust them nothing, and
may prove a blessing

sumption, Liver Complaint, and Dyspejsia, if ta
ken according to directions They are all three
to be taken at the same time. They cleanse the
stomach, relax the liver,and putitto work : then
the appetite becomes good ; the food digests and
makes good blood ; the patient begins to grow in
flesh; the diseased matter ripens in the lungs,
and the patient outgrows the disease and gets
well. This is the only way to cure consumption
To lhese three medicines Dr J. U. Sehenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success iu the
trcatmentof pulmonary consumption The Pal
monic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the
lungs, nature throws it off by an easy expectora
tton, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a
slight cough will throw it off, and the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake
Pills must bo freely used to cleanse the stomach
and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup and the
food will make good blood
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver,
removing all obstructions, relax the ducts of the
gall-bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver
is soon relieved ; the stools will show what the
Pills can do ; nothing has ever been invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly poison which is verv dan
gerous to use unless with great care), that will
unlock the gall-bladder and starts the secretions
of the liver like Schonck's Mandrake Pills
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption.
Sohenck's Seaweed Tonic is a geutle stimulant
and alterative, and the Alkali in the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made of, assists the
stomach to throw out the gastric juice to dissolve
tho food with the Pulmomo Syrup, and it is made
into good blood without fermentation or souriDg
in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
consumption is, they try to do too much ; they
give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to
stop night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing
they derange the whole digestive powers, locking
up the secretions, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
Dr. Schenck, in his treatment, does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, chills, or fever. Re
move the cause, and they will ill stop of their
own accord. No one can be cured of Consump
tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia. Cataarh, Can
ker, Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and stom
ach are made healthy.
If a person has Consumption, ofcourse the lungs
in some way are diseased, either tubercles, ah
scesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or
the lungs aj-e a mass of inflammation and fast de
caying In such cases what must be dDe ? It
is not only the lungs that arc wasting, but it is
the whole lyidy. The stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood out of food. Now the
only chance is to take Sohenck's three medicines,
which will bring up a tone to the stomach, the
pationt will begin to want food, it will digest easi
ly and make good blood : then the patient begins
to gain in flesn, and as soon as the body begins to
grow, the lungs commence to heal up, and the pa
tient gets fleshy and well. This is the only way
to cure consumption.
When there is no lung disease, and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient without
the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
freely in all billious complaints, as they are per
fectly harmless.
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years past, and now weighs 225
pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in
the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption,
his physicians having pronounced bis case hope
less and abandoned him to his fate lie was cured
by the aforesaid medicines, and since hisrecovery
many thousands similarly afflicted have used Dr
Schenck's preparations with tho same remarkable
success. Full directions accompanying each,
make it not absolutely necessary to personally see
Dr. SchcDck, unless the patients wish their lungs
examined and for this purpose he is professional
ly at his Principal Office, Philadelphia, every
Saturday, where all let'ers for advice must be ad
