T.i iriilitf Horning, February 10, IS7O.
TTTE Inquirer Is thrown into convul
sions by the fact that two Democrats in
Congress voted against the abolition of
the franking privilege. It is the
abuse of this privilege by the
Radicals that has made it odiou a .
Congressmen like John Covode
have for years loaded down the
mails with reports of smelling Commit
tees and whitewashing Investigations,
and some of them have even been
known to send their boots home
through the post office. Nothing of
this kind happened when the Demo
crats were in a majority in Congress.
The franking privilege, as it was used
in the better days of the Republic, was a
benefit to the people. It enabled them
to communicate freely and fully with j
then representatives in Congress, and
especially were the farmers profited by
it in the distribution of seeds of im- j
proved cereals and other plants from the ;
Agricultural Department. But the pri
vilege has been abused, as we have said, i
and there is great need that the abuses j
which have made it unpopular, should ,
be corrected. Judge Woodward and
Col. Haldeman, the two Democrats
who voted against the abolition of the ;
privilege, and the half dozen Iladi- !
eals who voted with them, did so be
cause they desired it to stand iu order
that it might be reformed and restortd
to what it once was, a blessing, instead
of what it now is, a curse to the people, j
Moderation is the best policy. The ;
franking privilege properly restricted,
would be useful to the public. If the
Covodes and Cessnas and Kelleys and
Sehcncks had never invaded Congress,
there would be no occasion to-day for
the abolition or reformation of this
privilege.
IN the discussion of the naval appro
priation bill in the House last week,
the Hon. Samuel J. Randall illustrated
Grant's love of retrench men t and re
form by the following instance. When
the present administration went into
power there were employed in the na
vy yard of Philadelphia between eight
and nine hundred men. Within one
month tiie force in that navy yard was
increased to twenty five hundred men. :
Mr. Randall declared that there was no
public necessity for their employment
—"the men were actually in each oth
er's way." Yet the administration
which obtained possession ot power
under the most solemn pledges of econ
omy is now urging enormous appro
priations for the perpetuation of such
monstrous abuses as those to which j
Mr. Randall hascalled public attention.
THE Police Commissioners for Phil
adelphia, named in the hill which has
Jiir t passed the legislature, are Peter A.
B. Widener, W. J. Pollock, Johu S.
Ritteuhouse, George Truman, John
M'Carthy and Mayor Fox, ex njfteio.
While taking all power away from the
mayor, it was considered in good radi
cal taste to make him a member of the
board. The majority of this board are
tools of Wm. B Mann, and are to be
made the stoops on which he again
climbs into power. They will Ipse no
time in installing Mann's repeaters,
ballot box stutrers and bullies in the
places to lie vacated by the present
membersof the police. Again Wm.B.
Mann leads his forces to the front.
There is a fine prospect for the people
of Philadelphia. The rest of the world
should and will avoid the city as if it
were beset by a plague.
AFTER all the promises of retrench
ment and reform mado by Ihe Grant
administration—after all the sales of
muskets, ironclads, and munitions of
war—after the receipt of millions upon
millions of dollars from internal reve
nue and customs—the national debt
for the month of January shows a re
duetion of only 0J,9."13,GG4 ; and it is
probable that when Secretary Bout
well's figures have been thoroughly
overhauled and the true state of affairs
made known, the "reduction" will lie
found to have no real existence. In
• the meantime the taxes of the people
have not been lightened in the slight
est degree, and the burden of the debt
is crushing out the life of the nation.
Where is the boasted economy of our
Radical rulers?
, Wrr.i, some one who is posted tell
the country what the object is in keep
ing up "The Grand Army of the Re
public?" We read of sessions, meet
ings, secret conclaves and most mys
terious doings of thi- "Grand Army,"
and the reflecting classes, who proper
ly hold wars and soldiering as political
and moral nuisances, look with espe
cial disfavo 5- upon this sort af organi
zation in times of peace. The country
is sick of war, sick of the fruits of it,
sick of the cost of it, sick of soldiering
as a profession, and the .•sooner the
"Grand Army of the Republic" ceases
to meet and fight over its old battle-%
the sooner will the political wounds of
the Nation heal up.— Lancaster Intelli

THE New York Herald makes a
sharp point in regard to the Southern
States being required to ratify the fif
; teenth amendment as a condition of
j restoration to the Union. As they
j could not be trusted to come in and
■ then ratify it, they ratified first and
! then came in. They were, therefore,
not in the Union. Either, then, says
the Herald, all the reconstruction laws
of Congress are invalid, or tiiese South
ern ratifications of the fifteenth amend
ment are invalid. If tlie States were
in the Union there was no need to ad
mit them, and if they were not in the
| Union they could not participate in
| making laws for States that are in.
'•Government pets" must be provi
ded for, and as Satrap Canby can 110
longer tryranize over Virginia, a new
"department" has been created for
him, so thai he may draw some SIO,OOO
a year from she public treasury for do
ing nothing. General Sherman has
accordingly issued an order abolish
ing the First Military District, and
creating the Department of Virgin
ia, witii Geu. Canby as commander.—
The new "department" comprises Vir
ginia, North Carolina and Maryland,
and forms part of the Military Divis
ion of the Atlantic, under the com
mand of Gen. Meade.

REVELS, the "Fifteenth Amend
ment" Senator from Mississippi, was a
substitute broker during the war, and
many a "loil colored brother" did he
manipulate into the service. Now he j
represents Africanized Radicalism in j
the United States Senate. With all
this we ara sorry to see the Reverend j
Revels get into such company as that j
of Sumner, Yates and Chandler. Do j
moralization is certain.
THE President stated to the Mayor
of Washington, the other day, that the
year closing March 3 would show a j
greater reduction of taxes. For partic
ulars, inquire of the Republican Con
gressman Dawes, who says that Grant's ;
administration costs forty-nine millions |
of dollars a,year more than Johnson's, j
THE United States Senate has reject
ed the nomination of Ebenezer R.
Hoar as Associate Justice of the Su
preme Court. They could not see the
propriety of raising that Yankee Ebe
nezer.
THE negroes of Virginia say that if
that State does not follow the spirit of
reconstruction acts it shall be put back
as a territory. Mark the absolute
shall. But the negroes are only aping
the manners of Radical Legislators at
Washington.
MR. DAWES has reiterated his asser

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1.
The currency question engrossed the
attention of the Senate yesterday. Mr.
Sherman's amendment to allow hanks
having excess of capital under the act,
to go into States having less than their
equal share of circulation, and estab
lishing banking-hou-es therein, was a
dopted. An amendment, by Mr.
Chandler, to increase the amount of
circulation provided for in the hill to
oue hundred million, was rejected.—
The understanding is that a vote will
be had on the bill to-day at 4 o'clock
P. M. Mr. Morton introduc d a bill
to provide for the admission of Mis
sissippi. It imposes, the same condi
tions as in the case of Virginia. Mr.
Ramsey reported favorably the House
bill to abolish the franking privilege.
The >ame Senator also reported back
from the Post-office Committee, with
amendments, the bill to establish a
postal telegraph system and to incor
porate the Postal Telegraph Company.
Mr. ( ragin introduced a bill to abolish
the office of Surveyor of Customs. In
the House of Representatives two bills
were introduced for the admission of
Mississippi, and a bill by a Democrat
ic member from Alabama, for the re
moval of all political disabilities.—
A resolution favoring the payment
of the bonds in greenbacks, offer
ed by Mr. McXeely, of Illinois,
was tabled by nearly eighty majority.
Mr. Ingersoll offered a resolution di
recting the Banking Committee to re
port back his bill authorizing an addi
tional issue of forty-four millions of le
gal tenders, but the House refused to
entertain it. Bills were introduced to
aboli-h the Department of Agriculture,
to reduce the pay of members of Con
gress (by a Democratic member of
course), and to grant belligerent rights
to the republic of Cuba. On motion of
Mr. Banks, the Cuban champion, the
latter was referred to the Committee of
Foreign Affairs. Mr. Cox, asked leave
to offer a resolution instructing the
Ways and Means Committee to report
a clause repealing the unjust and un
burdensome tariff on coal. The eoal
men rallied in force and voted the res
olution down, 75 to 41, which is omin
ous for the poor mail's free coal when
the tariff comes under revision.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 2.
Finance was the featuie in the Sen
M*.
ate, and the new tariff amendmentsthe
j feature in the House yesterday. In
: the upper chamber Mr. Sherman's bill
was discussed at length, but the ex
pected vote was not reached. Mr.
I Sumner made a speech, interpolating
it, as usual, with extracts from private
! correspondence indorsing his views.—
I Two amendments by Mr. Morton; one
! to increase the additional circulation
j from forty-five to fifty-two millions of
dollars, the other authorizing the with
! drawal of thirteen millions of circula
| tion from the States having an excess
and its distribution among the States
having less than their share, were a
dopted. The amendment offered by
Mr. Sumner to issue two millions of
additional currency was voted down.
Various other amendments were pro
posed and rejected, and the final dispo
sition of the bill wits deferred until to
day.
Mr. Saulsbury presented a memorial
praying for such legislation as will se
cure the government of the United
States to the white race, which was re
ferred to the Judiciary Committee.—
Mr. Poineroy introduced a bill to es
tablish a prohibitory liquor law in the
District of Columbia. If there was ev
er one needed anywhere it is where
the present Congress is sitting. In the |
House of Representatives, Mr.
Schenck, as chairman of the Commit
tee on Ways aud Means, reported the
new bill to amend lite tariff law. A
discussion sprang up at once, during
which several members of the commit- i
tee, Democrats and Radicals, attacked
the bill in front and flank. Mr. Cox
inquired whether the bill was not "an
aggravation of the present monopoli
zing, fraudulent, scoundrelly system of
tariffs now existing," and Mr. Mar
shall, one of the committee, replied
that it was. The bill was ordered to i
be printed and was made the special |
order for Tuesday, the loth instant.— <
The House wen into committee on i
the Appropriation bill, and several
Democrats eulogized Mr. Dawes and j
assailed the administration for its ex
travagance and corruption. The Rad
icals, not relishing these denunciations j
arbitrarily choked off the debate and |
a Jjourned the committee.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 3.
Mr. Sherman's Currency bill was
passed in the United States Senate yes
terday by a vote of 39 to 23. Sumner
and sixteen other Radicals voted a
gainst it. The Senate also discussed
Mr. Howe's Neutrality bill. In the
House of Representative.', Mr. Logan
introduced a resolution requiring the
Committee on Foreign Affairs to re
port on the feasibility of recognizing
the belligerency of Cuba, which was a
dopted. This brings the matter to a
head, if the committee does not dodge
the responsibility by neglecting to re
port. The House, in committee, de
bated at length the Senate bill to ap
propriate $30,000 lor the relief of the
negroes of Washington. A sharp pas
sage Detwecn Mr. Randall and Mr.
Dawes took place, in which the latter
was decidedly worsted. The bill was
not disposed of when the House ad
journed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 4.
The United States Senate, in execu
tive ses>ion yesterday, rejected, by a
vote of ayes 24, nay-3J, the nomination
of Ebenezer It. Hoar as Associate Jus
tice of the Supreme Court. The vote
was a square one on the issue, and the
President stands snubbed for insisting
upon the confirmation of his unpopu
lar candidate.
A bill to authorize the funding and
consolidation of the national debt, to
extend banking facilities, and to estab
lish specie payments was introduced
in the United States Senate yesterday,
from the Finance Committee, by Mr.
Sherman. It was ordered to he print
ed. Mr. Abbott, the North Carolina
carpet-bagger, offered a resolution of
inquiry into the constitutionality and
expediency of establishing a national
police force for the Southern States (in
ether words of continuing military
rule). After a discussion of some
length upon the matter of naval appro
priations, the Senate laid aside the or
der so as to allow Matt Carpenter, of
Wisconsin, to get off his long incuba
ted Cuba sympathy speech. Mr. Car
penter advocated the repealing of the
Neutrality law. Mr. Howard defend
ed the policy of the administration,
and ridiculed the pretentions of the
Cubans to a responsible government.
In the House of Representatives, Mr.
CuHum, from the Territorial Commit
tee, reported the bill to prohibit poly
gamy in the Territory of Utah. The
bill to admit Mississippi to representa
tion in Congress was reported by B.
F. Butler, from the Reconstruction
Committee. The features of the bill
are precisely the same as in the act ad
mitting Virginia. Mr. Beck offered a
substitute to admit the State uncondi
tionally, but it was voted down, 85 to
98, about one half of those voting in
the affirmative being Radicals. The
original bill was then passed. The re
mainder of the session was devoted to
a debate upon the bill introduced by
Mr. Dawes, from the Committee on
Appropriations, to supply deficiencies
for the navy. The bill asked for sll -
000,000. In the cogrse of the debate
allusion was made to the packing of
the navy-yards with superfluous la
borers at election times, and to the a
larming inefficiency of our naval ves
sels. Mr. Logan called the latter old
tubs, Mr. Banks quoted Admiral far?
ragut as saying that wooden vessels
were as good as iron ones. Cuba was
dragged into the discussion, and Mr.
Benjamin, in behalf of the administra
tion, "announced that It was not prepar
ed at this time even to recommend the
recognition of Cuban belliger.i.ry,—
Finally, an amendment, tutting down
the appropriation to *1,000,000."was a
greed to, and the bill was passed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 5.
The friends of the bill abolishing the
franking privilege, which has already
passed the House of Representatives,
attempted to put it on its passage in
the Senate yesterday; but, after a de
bate on its merits, in which considera
ble opposition to it being developed, it
was obliged to give way to special or
der, and the Senate refused, by a vot(
of 34 to 22, to take it up again. This i!
supposed to indicate the strength o
the friends and euiomies of the meas
ure, and, of course, to foreshadow its
defeat. The Senate passed a bill au
; thorizing the Secretary of the Treasu
1 ry to withhold moneys due to any StaU
| which may fx? in default of paymenl
' of the interest on any part of its bonds
held in trust hy the United States. A
part of the session was devoted to the
I consideration of means of coddling the
District negroes. The hill to incorpo
ratea Homeopathic Society, amended
so as to prevent the exclusion of ne
groes, was passed. In the llouse,
General Slocum read an advertisement
from a New York paper, offering for
stile a vacant cadetship in the United
States Naval Academy, and a resolu
tion was unanimously adopted author
izing the Committee on Military Af
fairs to inquire as to whether any
member of the House lias ever sold or
offered to sell his influence in the man
ner indicated. In the course of the
remarks which followed, Mr. Wood
ward stated a case where there had
come to his knowledge the offer of a
sale of tf West Point cadetship for $2,-
500, and Mr. Seofield also had heard of
a sale for SSOO, the culprit being a
Pennsylvania Congressman. The
House passed the Senate bill appro
priating $30,000 to feed the idle negroes
of the District of Columbia, and, ex
hausted by the effort, adjourned.—
Buncombe to day.
TheSchoeppees.se has made its ap
pearance in a new shape. A bill has
passed the State Senate which allows
writs of error in cases of murder and
voluntary manslaughter, not only
where such cases may hereafter be ta
ken to the Supreme Court, but in cases
now pending in that tribunal. The
bill further proposes that the Supreme
Court may not only review the law of
the case, which is all that has hitherto
been done by that tribunal on writs of
error, but that .he evidence may be
considered and the court may deter
mine whether there were sufficient
facts in the testimony to authorize a
verdict of murder in the first degree,
and if the court should be of the opin
ion that the judgment was not justi
fied by the evidence, it may reverse the
decision of the court below and send
back the case for a new trial.
The mysterious announcement comes
from Vienna that the Archduchess E
lizabeth, a member of the Imperial
family of Austria has fled from her
home and kindled, and embarked
for America, by the way of Ham
burg. Why Elizabeth should fly we
are not informed by the enterprising
telegrapher. She is a cousin of the
Emperor, is 39 years of age, and has
been married twice ; first, to her cous
in, Ferdinand of Modena, who died in
1849, and secondly to another cousin
the Archduke Charles Ferdinand, who
is general of cavalry ami an old num.
By her first husband she had a daugh
ter, now living, the Archduchess Maria
Theresa, who was married two years
ago io a Bavarian prince, and has just
had a child. The fugitive Elizabeth is
therefore a grandmother at 39, and
that calamity to a handsome, proud
spirited woman may have something
to do with her self-exik to the wilds of
America.
All doubt is removed of the fate of

Five States are now in open insurrec

the reign of anarchy ail over the land.
In exchanging Maximilian for Juarez
the Mexicans got back their republic,

To these three medicines Dr J . H. Schenck. ~f

LiverOomplaiut is one of the most prominent
causesof Consumption.
achonck's,Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative,andthe Alkali in the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made of, assists the
stomach to tnrow out the gastric juice to dissolve
the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made
iutogood olood without fermentation or souring
in the stomach.
Thegreatreason why physiciaus 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 ligostive powers, locking
up the secretions, and eventually the patient
sinks and dies.
Dr.Schenck, in his treatment,does not try to
stop acough.uigbtsweats, chills, or lever. Re

If a person has Consumption, ofoourse thelnngs
in some way are diseased, either tubercles, ab
scesses,bronohialirritation, pleura adhesion, or
the lungs are a mass of inflammation and fast de
caying In such cases what must be done' It
is not only tne lungs that aro wasting, but it is
the whole body. The stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood out of food. Now the
only chauee is to take Schenok's three modieines,
which will bring up a tone to the stomach, the
patient will begin to want food, it willdigesteasi

to gain in flash, and as soon as the body begins to
grow, the Inn gscominenceto beat up, and tbe pa

to cure eousum pi ion.
When there is no lung -disease, and only Liver

the Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
freely in all billious complaints, as they are per

j AVER'S CHERRY PECTORAL,
j For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumption.
Probably fiever before in tbe whole history of
medicine, hag anything won so widely and sodeep
ly upon the confidence of mankind, as this excel
lent remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through
a long seriesof years, and among most of the raees
of men w has risen higher and higher in their es
timation, as it has become better known. Its uni
form character and power to cure tbe various af
fections of ihe lungs and throat, have made it
known as a reliable protector against them.
1Y hile adapted to milder f'rms of disease and to
young children, it is at the same time the most
effectual remedy that can be given for incipient
consumption, and the danger us affections of the ;
throat and lungs. As a provision against sudden
attacks of Croup, it should be kept on handin ev
ery family, and indeed as all are sometime sub
ject to colds and cougns, all should be provided
with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumpti n is thought in
curable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to s iund health by
the Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield te it. When
nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry
Pectoral they subside and disappear.
Singers and public Speakers find great protec
tion from it.
Asthma is always relieved andoften wTjollyoor
ed by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we neeu ;
not publish the certificates of them here, or do j
more than assure the public that its qualities are ■
fully maintained.
A YER ' S A.G U E CUR E,
for l-ever ami Ague, Intermittent Jrever, Cktil
r fiver, Remittent fever, Dumb Ague, Peri
odical or Billions Fever, £r., and indeed all
the affections which arise from malarious,
marsh, or miai matte poison*.
As its name implies it does Cure, and does not
fail Containing neither Arsenic, Quinine. Bis
muth, Zinc, nor any other mineral or poisonous
subnianoe whatever, it in no wise injures any pa
tient. The number and importance of its cures in
the ague districts, are literally bevond account,
and we believe without a parallel in the history
of Ague medicine. Our pride ig gratified by the
acknowledgments we receivo of the radical cure*
effected in obstinate cases, and where other reme
dies had wholly failed
I nacclimated persons, either resident in, or
traveling through miasmatic localities, will be
protected by taking the AGUE CUKE daily
For Liver Complaints, arising from torpidity ol
the Liver, it is an excellent remedy, stimulating
the Liver into healthy activity
hor Bilious Disorders and Li ver Complaints, it
is an excellent remedy, producing many truly re
markable cures. where other medicines had failed.

| HAIR VIGOR,
For restoring Gray Hair to Its natu
ral Vitality and Color.
A dressing which is at once agreeable, healthy,
and effectual for preserving the hair. Faded or
gray hair is soon restored to its original color and
the gloss and freshness of youth. Tbin hair is
thickened, falling hair checked, and baldness of
ten. though not always, cured by its uso. Noth
ing can restore the hair where the follicles .ire de
stroyed, or the glands atrophied and deoayed.
But such as remain can be saved tor usefulness by
this application. Instead of fouling the bair with
a pasty sediment, it. will keep it clean and vigor
ous. Its occasional use will prevent the hair
from turning gray or falling off, and consequently
prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious
substances which m ike some preparations danger
ous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only
benefit but not hai a> it. If wanted merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable. Contain
ing neither oil nor dye, it does not soii white
cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair, giving
it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume.
