siid Convention.
By order of the County Committee.
E. F. KERR,
]7;yC Chairman.
MAP ICD6IBT,
The so-called "Republicans" who in
habit Bedford county, held a meeting
at the Court House, on Tuesday even
ing of last week, and adopted a series
of resolution-* from which we take he
following:
Resolved , "That we cordially ap
prove of and endorse the course of our
member of Congress, Hon. John Cess
na, and especially his advocacy of pro
tection to American laborers against
the competition of foreign paupers, and
that we recognize in him an able and
faithful defender of the principles of
true Republicanism, and we do
hereby recommend him to the Repub
i ie.t ns'of the Dialric t for renomination."
To the cordial approval and endorse
ment of the cour-e of "our member,"
by these cringing lick-spittles, we take
no exception. We do not question
their right to swallow their own sali
va or even print their kisses where our
member is wont to scratch. Xor does
their approbation of the conduct of
Mr. Cessna as the representative of the
people of the Sixteenth Congressional
D istrict, surprise us in the least. They
are in the habit of "cordially" appro
ving all the outrageous acts performed
by the radicals in Congress, and as
"our member" is a mere cipher in the
grand total of those miserable miscre
ants, it is not at ali astonishing that
they found no trouble in endorsing his
coarse.
But how eomes it that this meeting,
in which not one half of the election
districts of the county were represent
ed, assumes the right to dictate to the
"Republicans" of the entire county,
who shall be their candidate for Con
gress at the next election? By
what authority does this irresponsible
gathering undertake to "recommend"
Mr. Cessna as the choice of the "Re
publicans" oft be county? Is not this
unwonted action intended to forestall
an expression of opinion on the subject
of the Congressional nomination by
those "Republicans" who oppose Mr.
(V—na's re-noinnation and who mean to
be firm and consistent in their opposi
tion to the contemptible little thimble
rigger? Is it not a judgment taken in
advance of the action of the party in
the county before the reasons forand a
gainst the re-nomlnation of Mr. Cess
na could IK* properly canvassed by the
the rank and file? A little ring of
petty jrfiJiticiaus who rule the organi
zation in this county, meet together in
the court room, adopt resolutions pre
pared beforehand by one of their num
ber, audio J John Cessna is formally
recommended by the "Republicans" of
Bedford county for re-nomination as a
candidate for Congress! There is no
necessity for a County Convention, or
a primary election. The work is done.
The ring have saved the "Republi
can-." of the county all trouble on that
scot c.
We do not expect to see any resist
aue • to this pre-judgment of the casein
behalf of Mr. Cessna. There is hardly
a -ingle prominent "Republican" in
the county, who w ill dare to lift his
voice again-t if. There are some who
talk a great deal, but when the time
fir action comes, their courage, like
Bob Acres, ooze- out at their fingers'
ends. They are all the slaves of Cess
na and his little ring and they are o
completely cowed that few of them
dare to attempt to break their shack
les. What the Democrats indignantly
resented, at the hands of this man
(Jes-na, when he was of their number,
the "Republicans" meekly submit to
and hypocritically endorse. Is it a
matter of wonder that the "Republi
cans" are distanced iu this county
from year to year when it is remem
bered that they enter the races, an
nually, with Cessna astride of their
backs as Jockey?
CESSNA'S ring expect to capture the
colored vote, to employ African fingers
to rake their chestnuts out of the fire,
hut they have not yet concluded to
give that element representation on
their county ticket. The Associate
Judgship may, however, yet be ten
dered by them to one of their expected
allies.
MOM;
The resolutions adopted by Cess
na's little ring on Tuesday night of last
week, declare among other things,
"That the Republicans of Bedford
County, in Mass Meeting assembled,
do hereby express their hearty appro
val of the administration of General
Grant and point with pride to the
$80,000,000 of the public debt paid i n
ten months, as the best proof of his
faith fulness to the party pledges of e
conomy, and as the most triumphant
refutation of the copperhead charges of
extravagance."
This boast of the supporters of
Grant's administration, has been met
so often and has been so complete
ly contradicted, that we had thought
no one could be found so brazen as to
revamp it. The public debt has not
been diminished. It is greater to-day
than it was one year ago- True it is
that some eighty millions of bonds
have been taken up by Secretary
, Boutwell ,l-ut tftey hat€ not been cancelled
and there is no assurance thp,t they will
not be re-issued. In taking up the
statement by wbicL the secretary at
tempts to show a decrease of the pub
lic debt, the redeemed bonds are set
doyen oi assets in the Treasury ! What
| would be thought of an assignee who
• would claim that the promissory notee
given bv the ; --ignor aDd redeemed
by him before the assignment was
made must be tonsid -red as assets?—
He would be laughed out of court as
the shallowest of imposters.
The trickery by which Boutweil A
Co. are attempting to deceive the peo
ple in regard t the public debt, is e
qual.'y ridicule s and contemptible.
Let them ar_-\ver the charge made by
Dawes, c: Massac uaetts, in Congress,
the other day, ho is a radical of the
straites* sect) bat the appropria
tions demard it y Grant'sadininisfra
tion for the present year exceed the
entire expenditures of Andrew John
son's lastyetr by nearly Fifty Millions
of Dollars,instead of trying to blind told
the people with lying declarations con
cerning a deerea-eof the public debt.
THE virtuous C snaring which as
semble' 1 at the C *t House, an Tues
day nighi of last week, resolved that
the Deuiocra s are responsible for what
they style t .3 mismanagement of the
"Poor ouse finances," Ac. Who, but
the radical Judge Rowe, granted the
injunction -ainst the construction of
the at w ..-'-or House? Who, but a
radical jlhrtcre, gave us the law un
der V/.ilea we have arrived at the pres
ent con i .ion A things? Is the Presi
dent Judge, who bad as much to say
in regari to .he erection of a Poor
liou e i any body else, a Democrat?
Are the G. ' J'irors whose action is
a part the record in this Poor House
question, all Democrats ? It does not
become the corrupt Cessna ring, who
feed and fatten on the taxes of the peo
ple wrung from them by Federal reve
nue officers, to put on any airs about
the managemeut of the county fi
nances. Let them sweep before their
own shanty.
THEKE is fun ahead. Democrats
will go to the election next fall for the
special purpose of observing how the
Anti-Fifteenth Amendment "Republi
cans" will look alongside of their
Colored brethren.
IF there were not quite o many
radical judges, nor so many radical
courts, nor so many radical legislators,
the expenditures of the county would
probably be somewhat lighter. Let
Cessna's ring gnaw that file awhile.

THE KISHT TEIHPH4ST.
The Findlay-Scull contested election
case, involving the right to the seat in
the Senate for the Twentieth District,
was finally decided last week in
favor of Mr. Findlay, the sitting Sena
tor. The report of the majority of the
committee drawn to try the case,
which declares Mr. Findlay entitled
to the seat, is signed by Senators
Brown, Randall, Lowry and Lander
man, Senators Brooke, Osterbout and
Allen, although bound to conceed the
fact that the investigation shows the
election of Findlay, intend presenting
a minority report. Their otject is,
doubtless, to except to some of the ru
lings of the committee, which they re
sisted at the time they were made.
The confirmation of Mr. Findlay's
right to the seat, is a signal triumph of
justice and fair-dealing over trickery
and artifice. We have frequently ex
onerated Mr. Scull from that pecu
liar blame which attaches to the at
tempts of designing politicians to nuli
fy, by special pleading or the strain
ing of the law, the deliberately ex
pressed will of the people. We still be
lieve that he was forced into this con
test by certain parties who expected to
profit politically and pecuniarily by
hi- resignation of the Federal office
now held by him, which would, of
cour.-e have followed his admission to
a seat in the Senate.
The defeat of the foal intrigne of
which this case was the ground-work,
affords an occasion for special rejoic
ing. The honest people of the Six
teenth Congressional District particu
larly will be gratified to know that
John Cessna will not have it in his
power to barter the office of Assessor oi
Internal Revenue for that District for
votes and influence to secure his re
election to Congress.
We cannot leave this subject without
according to the committee before
whom this ease was tried, the praise
so justly due its members. Especially
do we feel it our duty to commend the
dignified impartiality with which
Senator Dowry acted throughout the
the investigation. Although an ex
treme radical in politics, he resisted
with Roman firmness every attempt
made by the counsel of Mr. Scull to
take unfair advantage, whilst at the
same time, he insisted with equal de
termination, that the contestant must
be allowed every opportunity afforded
by the law to make good his allegations.
To the independent and impartial at
titude occupied by Senator Lowry the
people of Pennsylvania are largely in
debted for the beginning of a whole
some reform in the trial of contested
election cases. The Seuil-Findlay
case is the first in the history of the
last ten legislatures in which a com
mittee containing a radical majority
decided in favor of a democrat.—Pa

Mr. Brow n, on behalf of the majority
of the committee in the case of .Scull
vs. Findlay, presented the following
report:
"The Twentieth Senatorial district
is composed of the counties of Somer
set, Bedford and Fuiton, and at the
election for said district fur Senator on
the 12th day of Oe'ober, A. D., 1569,
Hiram Findlay received 5,925 votes,
and Edward Scull received 5,902 votes,
therefore Hiram Find lay, having 2d
majority, was accorded a seat in the
Senate. The election is contested by
Edward Scull, on the ground of fraud
and illegal voting, claiming that he,
and not the sitting member, is entitled
to the seat.
"Your committee was drawn on the
18th day of January last, and sworn 'to
try the matter of the petition, and to
give true judgment thereon according
to the evidence.' They met ou the
same day and organized, and have met
daily since, as required by law.
"The contestant was given the most
ample opportunity to prove the charges
of fraud alleged in the petition, accord
ing to the rules of evidence, and the
whole force and power of the State was
tendered him to compel the attendance
of witnesses for this purpose. The
committee offered to go to Johnstown
or elsewhere within the Couimou
wealth, if required by him, to hear evi -
dence of fraud or of an undue election,
hut the contestant did not produce any
witnesses to make out the allegations
of fraud, or that the election was un
due.
"Your committee examined a num
ber of witnesses on the charge of illegal
voting, and report that the contestant
made out two illegal votes as having
been cast for the sitting member in the
county of Fulton.
"The sitting member declined to
produce witnesses to sustain the speci
fications of illegal voting for the con
testant, as set forth in his answer, he
cause the contestant failed to sustain
the charges and allegations in the peti
tion, and on the grounds of economy
to the State.
"Your committee have therefore
found the following:
Returns of election show
that Hiram Findlay re
ceived 5,925 votes.
From this deduct Illegal
votes cast for him in
Fulton comity 2 votes.
Total 5,923 votes.
Returns of election show
that Edward .Scull re
ceived 5,902 votes.
Majority for Findlay 21 votes.
"Yourcommittee report that Hiram
Findlay, having received a clear and
legal majority of 21 votes for S-nator
in said district, is therefore entitled to
the seat. R. S. BROWN.

On behalf of the minority, Mr.
Brooke asked and obtained leave to
f (resent a minority report at some fu
ure day.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 15.
In the Senate yesterday, Mr. Car
penter reported from the Jadieiary
Committee a bill to increase the salary
of the Chief-Justice to $12,000 per an
nuo), and of the associate Justices to
$lO,OOO each. Mr. Morton introduced
a fresh bill "to enforce the fifteenth a
mendment." The Mississippi admis
sion bill coming up in order, Mr.
Chandler moved to postpone. The
vote was 24 to 24, a tie, and the Presi
dent of the Senate casting his in the
negative, the bill was considered. Mr.
Carpenter made a strong speech against
Morton's outrageous doctrine that
Congress has aright to intervene in the
internal affairs of a State after its ad
mission. He said that such a proposi
tion was enough to "make Webster
turn in his grave." Mr. Morton, in re
sponse, charged that Mr. Carpenter was
advocating the exploded heresy of State
rights, and that the enunciation of hiso
pimon was enough to make the dry
bones of Calhoun rat.le with joy."
Withoutdiapoeingof the bill the Senate
went into executive session. In the
house of Representatives Mr. Dawes in
troduced the New York and Jersey shore
North river) tunnel bill,andMr.Dewee
ae (carpet bagger; a bill to "provide
homes for the homeless in the late
Slave States*" Mr. Loughridge, an l
owa Radical, offered a resolution de
claring it to be the opinion of the
House that the business interests ol
the country require an increase in
the volume of circulating currency,
and instructing the committee on
Ranking Currency to report as soon as
possible a bill increasing the currency
to the amount of at least $50,000,000.
On a motion to lay the resolution on
the table, the House voted ayes 78,
nays 93—which Mr. Ingersoll trium
phantly remarked was a healthy indi
cation(for th a inflationists). The morn
ing hour having expired, the resolu
tion went over till next Monday. Mr.
Morgan, of Ohio, introduced a new
currency bill as a substitute for that
of Mr. Sherman. General Logan
followed with a speech in support
of a series of resolutions favoring the
recognition of the Cubans as belliger
ents. The resolutions were referred to
the Foreign Affairs Committee. The
House in Oommitte then discussed the
Appropriation bill, getting through
two pages by the time of adjourn
ment.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 16.
In both Houses of Congress yesterday
long speeches were the feature. The
Franking Privilege bill was diseussod
with a speech from Morrill of Ver
mont, aud the Mississippi bill with
speeches from Messrs. Bayard aud Da
vis. The latter read three mortal
hours from manuscript, and when be
had concluded, the Senate adjourned.
In the House of Representatives the
resolution requesting information from
the I resident relative to the imprison
ment ol American cmzeus in British
prisons, after a debate between Messrs.
Cox, Swann, Banks, and Cavanaugh,
was passed. About a dozen members
asked and obtained leave to have
speeches on the same subject printed in
the Globe. The contested election case
of Van Wyck against Greene was ta
ken up and discussed, but -without a
vote the House adjourned.
WASHINGTON, 1 eb. 17
In the United States Senate yester
day the House bill to provide artificial
limbs for disabled soldiers was taken
up and amended by extending its pro
visions to the soldiers of the Mexican
war and war of 1812. The Senate then
discussed the Mississippi bill until the
hour of adjournment. Speeches were
made by Senators Yates, Edmunds,
and Morton, in favor of continued
exactions upon the South; and by
Stewart, Willey, and Fowler, in behalf
of the admission of Mississippi without
further conditions. Mr. Stewart re
marked that he did not believe Con
gress had any constitutional power to
make conditions. In th- House of
Representatives Mr. Cullom presented
a petition from a number of repenting
citizens of Massachusetts requesting
that the State be remanded to a terri
torial condition on account of its seces
sion heresies in 1312. This palpable
hit created laughter, and the paper was
referred to the Reconstruction Com
mittee. Mr. Cullom, from the Com
mittee on Territories, reported ad
versely on the bill for a Territorial
government for Alaska. Mr. Dawes
introduced a joint resolution requiring
the President to declare and maintain
a strictly impartial neutrality in the
contest now existing in Cuba, which
was referred to the Committee on For
eign Atfciira. The House then went
into the consideration of the Greene-
Van Wyck contested election case, and
by a party vote—ll9 to 51—turned out
Greene "(Dem.), the sitting member,
and gave his seat to Van Wyck (Rad.),
who was not elected. This infamous
partisan decision was expected, and
may be expected, in the remaining
twenty-one contested eases. Mr. Stiles
(Dem.), of Pennsylvania, fitly denoun
ced it as an outrage, and thought the
House ha<l better adjourn at once, and
was checked by the Speaker with the
remark that his language was "unpar
liamentary." In the meantime the
members, as if ashamed of themselves,
had hurried away, leaving the House
without a quorum, and an adjourn
ment necessarily followed.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 18.
The Mississippi bill, with all the ar
bitrary features, passed the Senate
yesterday. The closing discussion was
carried on by Senators Sumner, Drake,
Sawyer, and Cameron, and the case for
"Mississippi without handcuff's" was
summed up by Mr. Trumbull, but Mr.
Willey's amendment to repeal the con
ditions in the Virginia bill was first
voted down—23 to 36—and then the
amendment of the Senate committee
simply declaring Mississippi entitled
to representation, by 27 to 32. Among
the Radicals who voted with the
Democrats in the affirmative were
Senators Conkling, Nye, Trumbull,
Fenton, and Williams. The bill was
finally passed by a party vote—W to 11
Mr. Drake introduced a new bill tam
pering with the naturalization laws.
In the House of Representatives, the
bill to prohibit polygamy in Utah was
considered, and Mr. Caiiom, the father
of the measure, made his speech, de
nouncing the Mormons. The bill went
over by the expiration of the morning
hour. The House then went mtocora
mittee on the Legislative Appropria
tion bill. An amendment catting
down the extravagant expense for pri
vate secretaries to the President was
voted down. Mr. Stiles showed that
the actual expenses of the White House
were $27,000 more under Grant than
they were the last year under Johnson.
The committee made progress through
two pages of the bill, but rejected all
amendments reducing the items under
consideration.

An interesting insurance case has
just been decided by the law courts of
Maine. The plaintiffs were H. W.

was insured by the Phoenix Insurance
Company, of New York, for $6,000.
The stole was burned in the great tire
of 1866. The company refused pay
ment on the ground that the store was
situated upon leased land, and the a

state the fact in the policy. The court
decided in favor of the plaintiffs, a
warding thefull amount of the insur

Woman Suffrage, it appears, then, is
not to form the subject of the Sixteenth

Sheridan seems to regard the In

ken according to directions They are all three
to be t-iieii at the sasna time. Tocy cleanse the
stomach, relax the liver, and put it to work then
the appetite uoc -me: good the fo<>i dige.-is and
makes good blood; the patient begins to grow in
fiesh ; the diseased taa'.er ripens in the iuags,
and the patient outgrows the disease and g.ts
well. Tnis is tne ouiy way to cure eonsumpt ion
To these three ineiiciues Dr J 11 Schenck. of
Pnilaielphia. owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment ot puiaisaary co jsujcptron. The Pul
monic .cyrup ripens the oiorbid matter in the
lungs, nature throws it off by an easy expectora
lion, tor wuen the phiegm or matter is ripe, s
siignt cough will throw it off, and the patient ha
rest and tae lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the oeaweed Tonic and Manirake
Pilis must he treeiy used U> cleanse the stomach
aud liver. o that tae Pulmonic syrup and the
food will uiake good blood
schenck's Mandrake Pals act upon the liver,
removing all obstructions, relax the ducts of the
gall-bladder, the oiie startsfreely, and the liver
1 is soon relieved ; the stools will show what the
Pillscan do, nothing has ever oeen invented ex
cept calomel (a deadly poison which is very dan
gerous to ase unless wuh great care), that will
unlock the gall-bladder and starts the secretions
of the liver i ike Schenck 's Mandrake Pills
Liver Complaint is one of the most promiueot
causes of Consumption.
Schenck'rSeaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the Alkali in the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made of, assist! the
stomach to throw out the gauric juice to dissolve
the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made
into good blood without fermentation or souring
in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not core
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
tbey 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, aud they will all stop of their
own accord. Nooneeanbe 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 0 >n-sumption, of course the lungs
in some way are diseased, either tubercles, ab
scesae,bronchialirritautio, pleura adhesion, or
the lungs arc a mass of mil -mmatioi and fast de
caying In such cases what must be done ' It
is not only the lungs that are wasting, but it is
the whole body. The stomach and liver hnvelost
their power to make blood out of food. Now the
only chance is lo take Stsheock's three medicines,
which will bring up a tone to the stomach, the
patient will begin to want food, it willdigesieasi
ly and make good blood : then the patient begins
to gain in do*h, and a< soon as the body begins to
gpr.w, the lungscomtnenee to beal up, and the pa
tient get* deshy aci well. This is the only way
to cure eonsumpt ion.
Whenthereie nilung disease, and only Liver
Complaint vnd Dyspepsia, Seheook's Seaweed
Tonic and Manirake Pills are sufficient without
the Pulmonic Syrup, Take the Mandrake Pillg
freely in aU billions complaints,as they are per
fectly harmless
Dr. Schenok, who has enjoyed uninterrupted
health for many years pam. and now weighs 22b
pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in
the very laststage of Pulmonary Consumption,
his phy<icianshaving pronounced his case hope
less and abandoned him to hisfate. He wascured
by the aforesaid medicines, and since hisrecovery
many thousands similarly afflicted have used Dr.
Sah6nolt'pr o parstions with thoaameremarkable
success. Full directions accompanying each,
make it not absolutely necessary to perainallysee
