THE ucsnsonnw AXn BROAD TOP
BAIEROAD.
We have liefnre us the Seventh
Annual Report of the Directors of
the Huntingdon and Broad Top
Mountain Railroad and Coal Compa
ny to its stock-holders. At the annu
al meeting of stock-holders, held on
the first of February, B. Andrews
Knight was re elected President, and
J. P. Aertsen, Secretary, with the fol
lowing board of directors: Rathmell
Wilson, C- D'lnvilliers, John Dever
eux, William Cummings, Sam'l J.
Christian, James Long, James W. Paul,
A. P. Wilson, Wilson Whi taker, Ed
ward Roberts, Joseph H. Trotter,
John B. Wood. The Gross Earnings
of the company for the year 1869, were
$301,184.31, an Increase over last year
of $88,518,23. The expenses far 1869
were $13t,385,72, being 17.09 per cent,
less than in 1868. The Net Earnings
were $119,795.59, an increase of 41.€2 per
••ent over last year. Ihe number of
tons of freight carried over the com
pany's road during 1869, were 417,182,
of which 360,778 tons were coal, the
whole tonnage for the year exceeding
that for 1368 to the amount of 109,122
tons.
This is a very gratifying exhibit.
The increased earnings of the compa
ny have enabled the management to
make improvements, such as filling up
trestles, strengthening bridges, Ac.,
which in the language of the report
have "greatly increased the safety and
stability of the road and superstruc
tures, and also contribute largely to its
more economical operation." It is
complained that the number ot coal
cars, supplied by the Pennsylvania
and Philadelphia and Reading R. R.
Companies is entirely too small to sat
iety the wants of a constantly augment
ingcual tonnage and that but fur this ob
stacle during the past year the coal
shipments would have exceeded the
amount reached fully 100,000 tons.—
There is a probability, however, that
those compauies will add 700 addition
al cars to the number now in service.
The board of directors express pleasure
in acknowledging that the satisfactory
results of the business of the company
are largely due to the efficient man
agement of J. McKillips, E?q. Super
intendent, and John Fulton, Esq.,
Resident Engineer.
The report refers to the project of con
structing a railroad to connect Bedford
with Mt. Dallas,as follows: "Amove
"ment has lately been made by the
"citizens of Bedford county and oth
ers, to construct a railroad from the
"town of Bedford to Mount Dallas, to
"connect at the latter place with your
"railway. They propose building this
"road under the charter of the' Bedford
"and Bridgeport Railroad Company,"
"and when it is finished, to lease it to
"your company. It is very desirable
"and Important that this road should
"be built, but as no definite route or
"plan h is yet been agreed upon, it is
"probable that some time will elapse
"before anything practical is aecom
"plished." The writer of this has,
however, been assured by gentlemen
who are deeply interested in the con
struction of the proposed road from
Mt. Dallas to Bedford that a feasible
plan for raising the means necessary to
build the road has been devised and
that the route will be surveyed and
put under contract in the course of a
tew months. The sum required to
grade the road and lay down the track,
Is estimated ai $150,000. It Is proposed
that the road, on its completion, shall be
1 eased t >theHuutingdonand Broad Top
Railroad Company, at 7 per cent. per
an u urn on the cost of construction. It
is doubted whether the latter compa
ny are willing to pay 7 per cent., but
we presume they would be willing to
pay 6 percent. With theassuranceofan
annual return of 6 per cent, interest on
their investment, it will not be a hard
matt~r to find capitalists who will sub
eribe the sum necessary to build the
road. Such a guaranty should induce
the people of Bedford and vicinity to
subscribe nearly theentire sum, them
selves. Indeed we have no manner of
doubt that if the Huntingdon and
Broad Top company furnish L. T.
Watson, E-q.. or any other active, in
telligent and reliable business mat), a
written guaranty that they will pay 6
per cent, per annum on the amount of
stock sut>scribed to build the road, the
required slso,out)can be raised in any of
the eastern money centres. Meau while
let our own people hold themselves in
readiness to respond liberally to so fair
a proposition.
In another quarter of the globe an
American Minister has undertaken to
do diplomatic service for the Chinese
government. The United States Min
ister to Perujhas informed the Peruvi
an authorities that the Emperor of
China has requested him to protect his
aubjects in that country, where they
have been very badly misused. The
Peruvian government, iu response,
have appointed a commission to ec*
amine into the condition of thai* cool- 1
lt> settlers.
We don't care if the Treasurer be a
Democrat or Republican, we believe
that he gets his salary for his services,
that the tax-payers of the County are
entitled to the interest of the surpl is
fund in the Treasury, and that we
ought to have a general law to that
effect, regulating such matters through
out the State.— lnquirer.
Well, then, why don't your Republi
can legislature give the people such a
law? Why all this waste of words,
this uselessshedding of ink ? Marry, go
to! Have not your party made the laws
for this State for the last ten years and
have they not had time enough togive
us the reform you suggest? Scolding
like a very drab will not give legal
authority to the County Treasurer to
put the county funds out at interest,
but a few broad hints to your party
friends in the legislature might. We,
therefore, very humbly submit that a
petition, numerously signed by Re
publicans, of all colors, addressed to
the Solons at Harrisburg, will have a
better effect than all the querulous ar
ticles in the Inquirer, written for bun
combe, from this time until the next
election.
For the edification of the Gazette man
we will inform him that the Addition
al Law Judge does not draw his sal
ary out of the County Treasury.—ln
quirer.
Who says he does? Not we. Nev
ertheless it is a fact that the tax-payers
of Bedford county contribute their
share, equally with the other taxpay
ers of the State, toward the payment
of his salary. We spoke, in a former
article, of the increased cost of holding
courts, and referred to the fact that
we are indebted to the Republican
party for the expense entailed on the
coun y by the erection of the office of
Additional Law Judge. We did not
refer to the salary of that officer, but
to the cost of the additional courts.—
By the Auditors' Report made in Jan
uary last, we find that the pay of Ju
rors for the year 1869, was $3210,73.
For L.e year 1865 the pay of Jurors
was $2203.28. This shows an increase
of one thousand dollars in this single
item of the county expenses in 1869
over what it was in 1865. For this
additional expense the Republican
party is clearly responsible.
"OLE VIROISSL."
"Stick" is the laconic motto of the
carpetbaggers in general, and of Vir
ginia carpetbaggers in particular.—
Like leeches, they have fastened upon
the body politic, and they don't in
tend to let go until completely gorged.
The scalawags who were foisted into
office and power by Federal bayonets,
following the general example, are
not inclined to vacate the snug places
which they have been holding without
responsibility to any one except their
master with the cloven foot and a pair
of horns. The infernal pickpockets
and thieves who were furnished with
official position at Richmond, Peters
burg, and other points, and whose
commissions were signed with a pair
of crossed bayonets, are not disposed to
"git eout," as they say down in
Yankee-land.
The Radical powers have recently
condescended to permit Virginia to
bring the grave of Washington back
into the Union. Of course, when the
"mother of Presdents" had her terri
torial shackles removed, it was expec
ted that the military pimps and suck
,?s would be obliged to make way for
the legally appointed officers of the
State. But not so. They swear by the
"cock-eye" of the engineer of the
Dutch Gap Canal that they will not
surrender. The worthies appointed
under bayonet law are not disposed to
make way for the appointees of Gov
ernor Walker. They contest posses
sion, and have secreted the public re
cords.
This will, in all probability, lead to
difficulty. The ins seem determined
to remain in. Walker has made cer
tain appointments In accordance with
the laws of Virginia, and he must see
to it that his men are not kept out in
the cold. It is due tc the law and his
own dignity to insist that the carpet
bagging suckers shall be thrust out.
If the suckers are ousted, as they will
in all probability be by judicial decree,
they will invent some terrible cock-and
bull story about outrages upon the
rights of Union men. Tremendous
yarns will be told of Ku-Klux robberies,
and negroes will be slaughtered—on
paper—by the score. "Forney's Mur
der Mill" at Washington will be put
in opera'ion, and the columns of the
Chronicle will grow alternately black
and red with horror and blood. At the
same time Sumner, Wilson, Butler,
and every other hound in the Radical
kennel, will open in full cry against
Walker and the legally-constituted
authorities of Virginia.
Then as a natural consequence, the
State of Washington, Jefferson, Mon
roe, and Madison will be placed in the
same category with Georgia. She will
be remunded back to a territorial con
dition, and have her fortunes once
more entrusted to the keeping of a mil
itary satrap. Perhaps the murderer of
ninety helpless Piegan women and
their fifty helpless babes will be sent
to deal with the intractable Virginians.
No one can tell. We are open for al
most anything nowadays.— Evening

Madrigals.
When the Madrigal Concert was an
nounced by the West Philadeipia Cho
ral Society, there was a general flutter
of pleasure among the grave and gay.
We were not surprised, then, when we
found Morton Hall crowded with a
brilliant assemblage —the young, of
course,preponderating, for thecomposi
tion of the Madrigal is of a musical and
amorous character. All the history we
shall give Is, that the Madrigal origin
ated in the warm, sunny Italy in the
Sixteenth century, and is exclusively
vocal.
The Selections were very fine, and
were exquisitely rendered. Among
them were, Forgive, Blest Shade; A
wake, Sweet Love; Since First 1 saw
Your Face ;.When Winds Breathe Soft;
April is in my Mistress' Face; and oth
ers. There were also soprano, contralto
ami bass solos,all of which were encored.
We are a member of this Society, but
keep our musical talei t under a bushel
from which it has never been brought
out to our knowledge. We noticed
Mr. McClure, late'of Bedford, among
the eingists and this speaks conside a
bly for his musical ability, as none but
the best talent appear there.
In the Penitentiary.
It may interest you to know that
your correspondent has been in the
Penitentiary since he last wrote you.
And you may attribute his long silence
probably to this fact. But our stay on
ly lasted about sixty minutes, and we
were cheered during this brief sojoi n
by the presence of several ladies who,
of course, would not allow us to re
main in durance vile. This building
is immense, the front built of granite,
is massive and imposing, the cells ra
diate from a common centre and all
can be kept under the eye of a single
person. We were taken to some of the
cells, bake house, culinary department,
Ac. The inmates number over 500,
and are kept in separate confinement,
get plenty of good bread, meat, vegeta
bles and soup. We all ateof the bread
and it was pronounced by the ladies to
be " real nice."'' So, after going thro'
this place, the question arose in my
mind, Who is getting punished here?
Or is this any punishment at all to
these hardened wretches? Some thief
goes there, and he likes it so well he
goes back again in three months after
his time expires. He gets better bread
and more of it, than he had at home;
he sleeps on a good bed, "exercises for
ty minutes a day," and gets fat on it;
while his wife and ehildreu are getting
the.punishment he deserved by eking
out a wretched existence in an old
shanty and starving for bread.
But the Penitentiary is a flourishing
iustitu ion, and will never go down
for want of patronage. lam writing
you on Tuesday, and we have had this
week already three murders in this
city.
Murdoch Again.
We admire Murdoch, and we run af
ter him wherever he goes. He read in
I Horticultural last week, and the an
, nouncment was that this would be his
I
farewell; but we were delighted to
j hear that this was not the fact—for rea
j sons I care n >thing about—and so we
expect many more rare treats as this
; last was. Well, Murdoch had an aud
ience of about 1500, and if the nasty
masculine Anna Dickenson had read
her "Down Breaks" she would have
had at least thrice that number. Here
we may see how the world wags. Mer
it never gets its reward until it gets it
i in heaven.
We are sorry to say that the health
of Mr. Murdoch is very precarious.
Blitz.
We went in to see and hear the re
nowned Blitz the other evening. He
I has been in Europe recently and comes
buck chuck full of new things. The
most mysterious are his magic drum
and theSphynx. The trained canaries
j charm everybody. It is a grand place
for little folks at the matinees, and
gives thein talk for a week after. His
manipulations puzzle most of the older
heads. Loquacious "Bobby" is much
admired, but like many others he is
nothing when he is not talking.
"Sheridan's Ride."
This elegant painting by Read has
been on exhibition for several weeks.
As a work of art it is very satisfactory.
The horse, however, is much superior
to the man. That is, of course, you un
derstand, in an artistic view. The ri
der is stiff, and Read has put the eyes
on with a vim so that Phil, looks scar
j ed about as bad as if the rebels were af
ter him.
Now don't be afraid lest I dilate on
the Piegan massacre. That's your
thunder, and I'll not trench upon your
delightful field. We merely suggest
that Read has plenty of material here
i for his harp and brush. Anna virum

Medical Commencement.
The Medical Department of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania held its com
mencement at the Academy of Music
on the Uth inst., at 12, m. The Acad
emy presented a brilliant sight. An
immenseand fashionable audience gree
ted the graduates, and tender hands
provided cart loads of boquets to cheer
their hearts. Prof. Leidy said in his
address that the physician's path was
not strewn with flowers, but from the
appearance of the stage we had an Idea
that the ladies intended to start, them
on that kind of a path, at least.

WASHINGTON, March 1-5.
In the United States Senate yester
day Mr. Sumner made a personal ex
planation relative of General Prim's
cbaige against hi in of falsehood. lie
said that the facts were that a gentle
man purporting to be an agent of Gen
eral Prim had interviewed him last
spring on the sul ject of "settling the
Ciban question in a manner advanta
geous to the finances of Spain." Mr.
Sumner introduced an important bill
to strengthen the legal reserves of the
national banks, and to provide for the
rem in pt ion of the specie payments.
The Georgia hill was taken up, and
Mr. Trumbull delivered a forcible
speech against the continuation of the
Kadical outrages upon the Southern
States. Mr. Stewart spoke in favor of
the bill to the hour of adjournment. In
the House of Representatives, Mr.
Rogers, of Arkansas, introduced a bill
to abolish female clerks in the govern
ment departments. A free-trade reso
lution, by Mr. Marshall, was dodged
by the Radicals and buried in the
Committee on Ways and Means. The
bill paying Mrs. Edwin M. Stanton a
year's salary of a Justice of the Su
preme Court of the United States
passed by a party vote. The Deficiency
bill was then discussed in Committee
ot the Whole, and Messrs. Niblack and
Voorhees made excellent speeches in
defence of the career and policy of the
Democratic party.
WASHINGTON, March 16.
How to radicalize Georgia was the
theme in the United States Senate yes
terday. Mr. Edmunds made an able
speech against the bill. He had the
honesty to proclain that it was better
that Georgia should go Democratic ten
thousand times over than that such a
precedent as the bill proposed should
be established. Mr. Drake offered an
amendment to enable the legisla
tures and governors of reconstructed
States to call upon the President for
troops, and to declare martial law in
disaffected districts. This proviso is
marvellously like the bill just introdu
ced into the Britisii Parliament to keep
down Ireland. The Senate passed the
House bill to present Mrs. Elwin M.
Stanton with a year's pay of an associ
ate justice. Mr. Wilson introduced a
bill to revise the general regulations
for the government of the army. Our
Indian policy was discussed, and sev
eral Senators defended the Quaker pol
icy of the President. The Funding
bill passed by the Senate was introdu
ced in the House of Representatives,
| and after discussion was referred to the
i Ways and Means Committee. The
i House theu passed the bill introdu
ced by General Butler, from the Re
j construction Committee, admitting the
State of Texas to representation in
| Congress. The Deficiency bill was ta
ken up and debated during the after
noon and evening sessions. The ap
propriation for the New York Postof-
Hce building now going up in the park
was passed.
The Senate Committee on Foreign
Relations have reported, five against
two, in favor of rejecting the treaty for
the acquisition of San Domingo. This
kills it, as a two-thirds vote of the
Senate will be necessary to ratify.
Secretary Fish sent to the Senate
yesterday a list of the States purpor
ting to have ratified the fifteenth
ameudmeut. They are thirty in num
ber, and include New York, Indiana,
and Georgia.
The discussion that has arisen in
Madrid over the propriety of ceding
Cuba to the United Sta'.es is as signifi
cant as it is sudden. That any num
ber of journals should take the affirma
tive, and that the controversy on this
point is permitted to continue, certain
ly give the proposition an impor
tance that can hardly be estimated. A
Madrid despatch says that some of
these organs of public opinion argue
that as now the insurrection in Cuba
is nearly subtitied, and the dignity of
Spain properly asserted, it would be
good policy to cede the island and thus
avoid future complications. The only
objections urged by the pa)*;rs oppos
ed to this are that the craving for A
me. ican gold should be subordinated to
.Spanish honor, and that tho agitation
of the question is premature at pres
ent. Outof these discussions may e
ventually grow the solution of the Cu
ban problem.
Another insurrection has broken out
in Hayti. The Picket in the southern
department are in arms against the
new provisional government and the
partizansof the late President si-.lnave
are joining them. The government
has seut reinforcements to the army
in the field, and several war steamers
have also been dispatched to thesouth.
ThusSaget is hardly in his seat before

A heavy battle has been fought in
Mexico between the Potosi revolution
ists and government troops, in which
the latter were completely victorious,
killing 300 of their enemy and taking
1,000 prisoners. The insurrection a
gainst Juarez appears to be on the
wane; hut, these advices, it is proper
to state, are from government sources.
Financial difficulties appear to trouble
Mexico quite as much as the rising of
discontented chieftains.

Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup,
i Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake l'ills. willcnreCon
| 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 put it to work : then
! the appetite becomes good; the food digests and
makes good blood ; the patient begins to grow in
fiesh ; the diseased matler ripens in the lungss
and the patient outgrows the disease and git,
well. Tbifc is the only way to cure consumption
To these three mo.lioinds Dr J H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes bis unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pul
rnonic Syrop ripens the morbid matter in the
i lunrs. nature throws it off by an easy expectora
tion, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a
slight eougl: will throw it off. ml the patient has
rest and the lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tooio and Mandrake
Pills must t-e freel f used to cleame 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 oC_the
gall-bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver
is soon relieved ; the stools will show what the
Pills eau 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-blad ler and starts the secretions
of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption.
Schenck'BSeaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the Alkali in the Seaweed,
which this preparation is made of, assists the
stomaoh to throw out the gastric juice to dissolve
the food with the Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made
into good blood without fermentation or souriog
in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure
consumption is, thoy 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 seortMons, and eventually the patient
sinks and did'
Dr. Sobeuck. in his treatment, does not try to
stop a cough, night sweats, oh/lls. or fever. Re
move the cause, and they will all stop of thoir
own accord. No one can be cured of Consump
tion, Liver Complaint, Dyspjpsia, Cataarh, Can
ker, Ulcerated Throat, unless the liver and stout
aoh are made healthy.
If a person has Consumption, ofeourse the lungs
in some way are diseased, either tubercles, ab
scesses, bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or
the lungs are a mass of inflammation and fast de
caying. In such oases what rnnst be done ' It
is not only tee lungs that are wasting, but it is
the whole body. The stomach and liver have lost
their power to make blood out ot food. Now the
only chance is to take Schenok's three medicines,
which will bring up a tone to the stomach, the
ftatient will begin to want food, it will digest easi
y aud make good blood : then the patient begins
to gain in flesh, and as soon as the body begins to
grow, the luigscominer.ee to heal up, and the pa
tient gets fleshy and wejl. This Is the only way
to cure ounsuinp* ion.
When there is no long disease, and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed
Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient without
rbe Pulmonic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills
freely in all billions 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 co bis fate He wasoured
by the aforesaid medieices, and since his recovery
many thousands similarly afflicted have used Dr.
Schenck's preparations with tho same remarkable
success Full directions aooompanying each,
make it not absolutely necessary to personally see
Dr Schenck, unless the patients wish their lungs
examined, and for this purpose he is professional
ly at his Principal Office, Philadelphia, every
