Why Not? ,
Tub New York World, under the above cap
tion, attempts to draw a parallel lietwcon crime
in this State and in the South. It says:
"But of nil the planes for revolting murders,
Philadelphia takes tlio precedence. It Is but a
little while since the country was startlm! by an
account of n fiendish murder in that city by one
Antninc Probst, and now we have to record the
shooting, by n discharged soldier, of a tailor in
a Court, in the City of Brotherly Love.' This
deed Is a step in advance of anything of the
kind in the criminal history of any city in the
Union, and suggests the pertinent inquiry,
Why (iocs not Congress turn Its attention to
Pennsylvania? If a nearo child Is spunked In
liOiilHiiina, or an impudent white brawler
snubbed in Texas, all the radical papers set up
r howl against the ' insecurity of life and pro
perty' in those States. Mr. Sumner, also, pa
nidcs bis budget of auonymous letters from the
South, and Mr. Stevens holds the House breath
less with hlH denunciations of ' Hebels,' ami
vows wholesale confiscation, ' God willing, and
I living.' Vet lure is the case of a malicious
fchooting, In open Court, in the terribly loyal
city which adjoins Leupua Island, and not a
word from the ' loyal' press, nor a letter from
Wr, Knniner, nor an oath from Mr. Htevens!
"Nor is this picture overdrawn. Even the
Philadelphia .cffwr, a non-partisan paper,
which loans towards radicalism, in comuient
lrg upon this hist murder on its city's list, is
forced to exclaim that, 'Never before was there
so many and such flagrant instances of crime,'
and adds: 'Our own Jails, both the County
Prison and the Eastern Penitentiary, are tilled
to overflowing, and appeals are being made to
the Legislature for means to enlarge one of
them, whilst the city is being asked to build a
house of correction for thereliel of the other.'
Can a worRe picture be drawn of any city or
Mate In the South? Do not the following words
of the preamble to the Military Reconstruction
bill. Just passed by both branches of Congress,
apply with added force to Pennsylvanlii,muulu
mutandir. ' Whereas, no adequate protection for
ltfe and property now exists in the State of
Pennsylvania; and whereas, it is necessary that
peace and Rood order should be enforced In said
tstate: therefore be it enacted,' etc.? Why
should not the same means to attain the same
ostensible end be applied in Pennsylvania as
In the ten unrepresented Southern States?
Again, why not?"
We know of no other paper that so conceitedly
plumes itself upon its logic as the World. It
habitually assumes an air of superiority on
account of its pretended freedom from the low
arts of the pettifoger and the quibbler. Yet
we doubt if a Toombs "shyster" could have
written a more pitiful piece of sophistry than
that which we have above quoted from its
columns.
Crime exists in . spite of. the best govern
ments always has and always will. The
characteristic of a good government is that by
prompt and adequate punishment it endeavors
to repress crime within the smallest possible
limits. The characteristic of a bad govern
ment is that,by lax, inadequate, or no punish
ment, it encourages crime. Now the dilfer
ence between the Government of Pennsylvania
and the pretended Governments of the Rebel
States is, that in Pennsylvania, when a man
commits murder lie is tried and hanged for it;
While in the Rebel States, in ninety-nine cases
out of a hundred, lie. goes unpunished. The
fact that our jails and prisons are full shows
that the administration of justice with us is
active, and that the laws against crime are
enforced. That much crime is nevertheless
committed merely proves what the experience
of mankind has always shown, that there are
many causes of crime which the laws cannot
reach.
Another important fact in regard to crime
in the Rebel States is its political character.
Nine-tenths of all the murders, robberies, and
other high crimes in those States are com
mitted upon Union men, white or black; and
these crimes, because of the sympathy of the
local governments .with the political animus
which inspires them, go almost universally
unpunished. Hundreds of Union men all over
the South have been murdered since the war
closed, and yet we do not recall a single in
stance in which the murderers have been
brought to justice.' Even the participants in
such wholesale massacres as those of Memphis
and New Orleans go entirely unpunished. The
testimony of such officers as Generals Sickles,
Schofield, Thomas, Hood, Baird, and Sheridam
Is unanimous that there is no attempt made by
the Southern authorities to protect the lives
and property of Union men.
General Sickles says you could not find a
jury in South Carolina that would convict a
man for killing a Union soldier, no matter
what the testimony. Citizens committing
offenses against soldiers are not even indicted
by the civil authorities. These authorities do
not arrest anybody, nor prosecute anybody,
nor indict anybody for such offenses. Yet
soldiers and officers have been in some in
stances wounded, and in other instances
killed.
General Schofield says of Virginia that
cases of hostility and outrage of one kind or
another by white men upon freedmen are
comparatively common, and in almost all such
cases the State courts fail to do justice; the
difficulty is in the disposition of the magis
trates and jurors. Where the question is
affected by any allegation upon the part of the
white man of insubordination or disrespect or
Insolence upon the part of the colored man,
that allegation will justify him, in the opinion
of the local magistrates or jurors, for inflict
ing upon the freedmen any punishment he
may see fit, either by driving them off the
plantations without wages, or, as has been
done in some cases, shooting them. A gen
tleman who commits a homicide of that kind
gets hia gentlemen friends together and they
are nearly all magistrates and they examine
and discharge him; he ia then free from all
further prosecution.
Genoral Baird says of the Department of
Louisiana, that If a freedman ia murdered, or
an offense of WgU "fl committed by mea
who had been in the Rolelllon, It ia impos
sible to got the criminal arrested even, and if
he is arrested, he is sure to be-released jon
very low bail; the troublo is both with the
juross and the magistrates I
General Wood says of Mississippi, that
homicides of Union men, soldier, and freed
men are on the increase; but he never heard
of but one instance iu which a white man was
punished for killing a negro, and then the
punishment was only a year in the peni
tentiary. ;
Major-Ooneral Thomas says of hi Depart
ment, including several of the Southwestern
States, that ho does not think the civil autho
rities are disposed to administer impartial jus
tice, if left to their own will. He does not
know of a single instance where they have
punished any one for a serious offense against
a freedman; they have been punished some
times for slight offenses, where the punish
ment was merely a fine, or something slight in
Us nature; but in a cose where the penalty
extends to imprisonment or summary punish
ment, he does not know of. a single instance;
he does not believe there is much chauce of
convicting a resident or citizen of Georgia for
murder, if the victim was a Union man or a
negro; if the murderer was a Union man or
a negro, they would convict him very speedily,
or if the man had moved into Georgia since
the war, and was known as a Northern man or
a Union man. The observations he makes
in reference to Georgia apply to the other
States with equal force.
This is the testimony of the military officers
of the United States who are in the South, and
who are daily witnesses of the manner in which
justice is there administered. It shows inoon
testably that a state of practical anarchy reigns
there, and that the Rebel organizations claim
ing to exercise the functions of Governments
are themselves the ministers of crime. In
view of such a state of facts as this, the quib
bles and sophisms of such unscrupulous parti
san journals as the World are wo rthy only of
contempt.
Pennsylvania Bank. We are glad to see
that the old Pennsylvania Bank building is to
be made of some use. By the Omnibus bill
adopted by the House, an appropriation of
$1)0,000 was made to erect appraiser's stores
on the site of that now worthless property. It
is time that some good be got out of the build
ing, and as we could not get it converted into
a Post Office or any respectable building, we
hope that it will be of some advantage to the
Government and to the city at large.
Mexican Matters. The latest news from
Mexico chronicles the almost uninterrupted
success of the Liberals. The defeat of Mira
mon is confirmed, while the reported capture
of Juarez proves to have been only an idle
rumor. The Liberals are closing in about the
City of Mexico, which must soon fall into their
hands. The French troops are embarking at
Vera Cruz. Twelve hundred of them were to
have left on the 15th instant.

Chambers. Elsewhere we print full reports of

DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA!
Mr. Wisiiakt: 1 wish to add my testimony
to tbe hundreds which you receive to tho heal
ing properties ol your Pine Tree Tar Cordial.
For fifteen years a sufferer, ten years of that
time I have slept only in my chair, not being
able to lie down for tear of suffocation. I have
employed seven of the best physicians in Phila
delphia, who all pronounced my case Incurable.
I was taken to the College, where the Faculty,
having done what they could, declared my
disease an incurable case of Asthma and Chroulc
Dyspepsia, lu its last stages, and thut my lungs
were certainly gone. Finding one of your Cir
culars, my wife procured from your store a
bottle of your Cordial.
Perseveringly I used seven bottles, and a box
and a halt of your Dyspepsia Pills, when I felt
that my disease had wholly given way, and the
Cordial bad given me new vigor and strength,
I continued to improve, and for tbe past threo
months I have been able to sleep in my bed as
soundly as ever I did. I am now well, and have
gained twenty-five pounds lu my weight. I am
nble to work and provide for my family. I send
you this true and faithful statement for the
benefit of the sutleriug. Friends, call and see
me, near Oxford Church Post Olllce, Twonty

1K. WISHABT'S OREAT AMERICAN
DYSPEPSIA PI ELS.
This is to certify that. I suffered for ten years
with that dreadful complaint called dyspopslu.
I suffered much pain and UlHtress, with gloom
and depresslou of spirits. I was treated by
eight dlfleient physicians for my complaints,
and at times was much better; but then my old
diseuse, Dyspepsia, would return with all Us
dieadful realities, and my whole system was
fast wasting away. In this sick and debili
tated state I was handed a circular of Dr.
Wlshart's Great American Dyspepsia Fills and
Fine Tree Tar Cordial, which gave a correct
description of ray sufferings, and I determined
to place myself und4r the Doctor's care, and
take his medicine. .
As soon as I commenced the use of the medi
cine ; I began to get better, and so I continued
three months, at which time I was perfeotly
cured of all my oomplalnts, and perfectly re
stored to health; I am to-day a well man. Dr.
Wishart, I give you this certificate with a grate
f ul heart for the benefit I have received from the
use of .your truly wonderful medicines. May God
bless you, and preserve your truly useful life
for many years. I would say to every sick per
son who was- suffering as I was, that my resi
dence is No. 189 Richmond street, Philadel

testimony to tbe great power of Dr. Wlshart's
medicines to cure. . F. H. Allen.

I DYSPEPSIA! DY'SPEPSIA!
I, Moses Kemmis, do certify that I was sick
with Dyspepsia for two years; I was very sore
at the pit of my stomach, with pain in iny
breast, side, back and bead, with dizziness and
staggering in walking, with great weakness and
general debility. I employed In that time
seven eminent physicians, and they differed in
their opinion, of my disease. Some thought I
bad one disease, and some another; 'but I was
all the time getting worse and worse, until I
became so low that my wife would have to feed
me for weeks together. While In this dreadful
condition I placed myself under Dr. Wlshart's
treatment, and used bis great American Dys
pepsia Fills and treatment for Dyspepsia, and
at the present time I am perfeotly well, and
have gained In flesh twenty-four pounds, and
can work and attend to my business as "well as
any person in Pennsylvania, and I am satisfied
It Is a perfect cure. Dr. Wishart, you can pub
lish my case If you see proper; as I want to bear
testimony to the great power your medlolue
has to enre Dyspepsia. All persons are at lib
erty to call and see me or write.

DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA!
This is to certify that I bad dyspepsia in the
-worst form for three years, I was treated by
seven of the best physician In Amerloa; some
of them were Professors of Jefferson, Collego,
Philadelphia; but they did me no good. I grew
worse every month. I would be taken at times
with dreadful pains In my breast and stomach,
so great was It that I could neither sit, lie, nor
stand, but would rove about from one room to
another; my friends expected me to die, as there
appeared to be no relief for me. In this hope
less condition I placed myself under Dr. Wish
art's treatment, and used bis inedlolna as
directed.
This day I am a well man; and for three
weeks I have been on my feet and working
bard from early dawn until eleven o'clock at
night. Mr. Wishart, I give you this certificate
With a grateful hearty feeling H my duty to do
so; you may, and I want you to give It to the
world, that every person suffering as I was may
have the benefit of using your truly wonderful
remedies. All sick persons are at llbertr to
call and see me or write to me, as! want to
render all the good I can to suffering hnmanlty

A POSITIVE CURE FOR DYSPEPSIA.
BI AH WHAT MR. JOUM B, BABCOCK BAYS.
No. 102S Olivk Street, Philadelphia, January
28, 1868. Dr. Wishart-Slr: It. is with muoh
pleasure that I am now able to Inform you that,
by the use of your great American Dyspepsia
Fills, I have been entirely oured of that most
distressing complaint, DyspepBla. I have been
grievously afTlIoted for the last twenty-eight
years, and for ten years of that time have not
been free from its pain one week at a time.
I have hud it in its worst form, and have
dragged on a most miserable existence in pain,
day and night. Kvery kind of food that I ate
filled me with wind and pain, it mattered not
how light or how small the quantity. A con
tinued belching was sure to follow. I had no
appetite for any kind of meats whatever, and'
my distress was so great for several months
before I beard of your Pills that I frequently
wished for death. I bad taken everything that
I had heard of for Dyspepsia without receiving
any benefit; but on your Pills being recom
mended to me by one who had been cured by
them, I concluded to give them a trial, although
I had no faith in them. To my astonishment,
I found myself getting better before I had taken
one-fourth of a box, and, after taking half a box,
I am a well man and can eat anything I wish
and enjoy a hearty meal three times a day with
out incon vlnlence from anything I eat or drink,
If you think proper, you are at llborty to make
this publlo and refer to me, I will cheerfully
give all desirable information to anyone who
who may call on me. Yours, respectfully,

DYSPEPSIA! DY'SPEPSIA! j
Dr. Wishart: I have been a constant suf
ferer with Dyspepsia for the last eighteen years,
during which time I cannot say that I ever en
Joyed a perfectly well day. There were times
when the symptoms were more aggravated
than at others, and then It seemed it would be
a great rel ef to die. I hud at all times an un
pleasant feeling in my head, but latterly my
suffering so much increased that I became
almost unfit for business cf any kind; my mind
was continually filled with gloomy thoughts
and forebodings, and If I attempted to cnange
their current by reading, at once a sensation of
icy coldut ss, in connection with a dead weight,
as It were, rested upon my brain; also a feeling
of sickness would occur at the stomach, and
great pain to my eyes, accompanied with which
wns tlie continual fear of losing my reason. I
also experienced great lassitude, debility, an 1
nervousness, which made it difficult to walk by
day or sleep by nigltt. I beranie averse to
society, and disposed only to seclusion; and
having tried the skill of a number of eminent
physicians of various schools, finally came to
the conclusion that for the disease at my pre
sent age (45) there wns no cure in existence.
Hut through the interference of Divine Provi
dence, lo whom I devoutly offer my tliunks, I
at last round a sovereign remedy in your Dys
pepsia Pills and Tar Cordial, which seem to
have effectually removed almost the last trace
of my long list of ailments and bad feelings,
and in their place health, pleasure, and con
tentment are my every-day companions. "

DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA!
I, Moses Touin, of Cheltenham, Montgomery
county, Fa., bave sullered for more than one
year everything but death itself from that
awful disease called Dyspepsia. I employed in
that time five of the most eminent physicians
in Philadelphia.. They did all they could for
me with medicine and cupping, but still I was
no better. I then went to the Pennsylvania
University, in order to place myself in reach of
tbe best medical talent in the oountry; but their
medicines failed to do me good, and oftentimes
I wished for death to relieve me of my suffer
ings, but seeing Dr. Wlshart's advertisement
in the Philadelphia "Bulletin," I determined
to try once more, but with little faith. I called
on Dr. Wishart, and told him if I could have
died I would not have troubled him, and tben
related my sufferings to him. The Doctor as
sured me if be failed to cure me of Dyspepsia it
would be the first case in two years; so I put
myself under bis treatment, and, although I
bad been for months vomiting nearly every
thing I ate, my stomach swollen with wind and
filled wltb pain beyond description, I bought a
box of bis Dyspepsia Pills. I used them as di
rected, and in ten days I could eat as hearty a
meal as any person in the State of Pennsylva
nia, and In thirty days was a well man. I invite
any person suffering as I was to call and see
me, and I will relate my suffering and the great
cure I received. I would say to all dyspeptics

DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA!
I, Samuel D. Haven, bave been a great suf
ferer with Chronlo Dyspepsia and inflamma
tion of the Kidneys for three years. I employed
three or four of the most eminent physicians of
Philadelphia, also of Burlington county, N. J.
They did all for me they could, but all to no
purpose. I was constantly filled with awful
pain and distress, and with constant belching
of wind and sour acid. My tongue was covered
with a white coating of mucus, until it cracked
in large farrows, aud was dreadfully sore! O,
I ofttlmes wished for death to relieve me of my
sufferings, for I had lost all hope of ever being
well again. I made it a subject of prayer to
God that he would direct me to some physician
or medicine that would cure me. I was told
to read an advertisement of Dr, Wlshart's, in
tbe Philadelphia "Ledger," of a great cure
made upon Mr. John Babcock, of No, 102S Olive
street, Philadelphia, by the great American Dys
pepsia Pills. I went to1 tbe Doctor's office, and
placed myself under his treatment, and told
blm, if ha failed to ours me, it would be tha
last effort I would make. It has been six weeks
since I commenced the use of his medloine, and
I am now a well man, free from all pain and
distress, and can eat three hearty meal day
with comfort, and feel perfectly well. Dr.
Wishart, I want you to publish ray cane, as I
want every poor dyspeptic suffering as I was to
call upon me, and I will tell them of the great
cure I have received from your invaluable
medicine., Samukl D. Havkn,

DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA r ,
Dr. Wishart: I was a great sufferer with
Dyspepsia for seven years. Everything I ate
filled me with wind and dreadful pain, and my
life wns one of great suffering. I was so muoh
filleted that If I drank a glass of wateMt would,
soon return back in a heated condition. ap
plied toevery kind of medicine and treatment,
but all to no purpose. I saw your advertisement
In tbe "Ledger" of a great cure your great
American Dyspepsia Pills bad made. I went to
your store and purchased 1 a box and oon
menoed to use them, and I do thank God this
day I am a well man, aud can eat three meals
per day. I ha ve sent a number of persons after
your Pills, and I gave a young man that was
suffering with Dyspepsia in my neighborhood
eight of your pills, and they cured blm eutlrely.
You may refer to me if you see proper.

DYSPEPSIA! DY'SPEPSIA t
I, John Lymcu, do certify that for foar
months past I was attacked with aoute dyspep
sia. I was so severely handled that I could eat
nothing but what it would fill mo with dread
ful distress; my nervous system was perfectly
prostrated; my whole frame soon. became weak
and trembling, with a confused noise and
dizziness in my head, followed by palpitation
of tbe heart and general debility of the whole
body. Every kind of medicine administered to
me did me no good, until I was advised to call
on Dr. Wlcbart, and place myself under his
treatment. It is now about nine weeks post
since I commenced to use bis Dyspepsia Pills
and Fine Tree Tur Cordial, and I do truthfully
and fultbfully say thut lam perfectly cured of
Dyspepsia, and all other diseases arising there
from, aud I cuu eat three good meais every day,
aud feel well In every respect. I am 79 years oC
age, and if it was necessary, I feel I could and
would shoulder my gun to defend the city from
invasion by the Rubols. All persons suffeDlng
from Dyspepsia as I was are at liberty to call
and see me, for I feel It my duty to do all tha
good I can for suffering humanity.

DY'SPEPSIA ! DYSPEPSIA! DYSPEPSIA
I, Elizabeth Branson, of Brandy wine, Del.
formerly, of Old Chester, Pa., do eertlfy that for
one year and a half I suffered everything but
death from that awful disease called Dyspepsia.
My whole system was prostrated with, weak
ness and ne rvous debility. I could not digest
my food. If I ate even a cracker, or the smallest
amount of food, it would return Just as I swal
lowed it. I became so costive in my bowels
that I would not have a passage in less than
front four, and often eight days. Under this
immense Buffering my mind seemed entirely to
give way.
. I bad dreadful horror and evil forebodings;
thought that everybody hated me, and I bated
everybody; I could not bear my husband nor
my own children everything; appeared to be
horror-stricken to me; I bad no ambition to do
anything; I lost all my love of family and home;
I would ramble and wander from place to place,
but I could not be contented; I felt that I was
doomed to hell, and that there was no heaven
for me, and was often tempted to commit
suiolde. So near was my whole nervous system
destroyed, and also my mind, from that awful
complaint, dyspepsia, that my friends thought
best to have me plaoed in Dr. Kimbrlde's Hos
pital, West Philadelphia. I remained there
nine weeks, and thought I was a little better;
but in a few days my dreadful complaint was
raging as bad as ever. -
Hearing of the wonderful cures performed by
Dr. Wlshart's Great American Dyspepsia Pills,
and bis treatment of Dyspepsia, my husband
called on Dr. Wishart and stated my oase to
him. He said he had no doubt ha oould cure
me. So in three days after I called and plased
myself under the Doctor's treatment, and In
two weeks I began to digest my food, and felt
that my disease was fast giving way, and I con
tinued to recover for about three months, and
at the present time I enjoy perfect health of
body and mind, and I most sincerely return my
thanks to a merciful God and Dr. Wishart, and
to his Great American Dyspepsia Pills and
Pine Tree Tar Cordial, that saved from an in
sane asylum and a premature grave. All per
sons suffering with dyspepsia are at liberty to
call on me or write, as I am willing to do all
the good I cun for suffering hnmanlty.
