The tew Hoard ol School Controllers.
Bom branches of the Legislature have passed,
and the Governor has signed, a bill; taking
from the School Directors of Philadelphia the
power to elect the School Controllers, and
Testing it in tho Courts. The completion of the
Various preliminaries necessary before the bill
could go into effect will be hailed with gratifi
cation by our citizens. The old system of
election had become thoroughly incompetent,
not to Bay corrupt. The constitution of the
Bectional Boards was always auch as to make
them always stand nine of one party to throe
Of the other. The choice by such a body was
always a partisan one. The candidate had no
examination into his qualifications further
than an inspection of the ticket he had
voted for the past few yours. And when no
requisite but party enthusiasm was necessary,
it is not smrprising that tho office was given to
the smallest order of politicians. We feel no
Surprise that it frequently happened that the
ignorant had a majority of the Board, but we
are rather astounded that there was ever
Selected a suitable gentleman. The determi
nation to make an effort to effect a change first
became apparent about a year ago, at which
time we spoke earnestly in favor of the
reform. The agitation has since been kept up,
and it s with surprise that we see that the
measure has been adopted so speedily.
We felt .well assured that it would ulti
mately come, but that, within a single session,
it should be adopted, is cause for hope of an
improvement in our Legislature. Mr. James
N. Marks was the author of the bill, and de
serves great credit for the steps he has taken
to hasten its passage. We feel confident that,
under the new regime, we will see a marked
improvement in the control of our common
schools. Tho office of Controller will cease to
be a small reward for party services, and
become one of the most honorable positions in
our municipality. It will soon be held to be
the highest compliment which could be paid
to a man, that ( the courts should deem him
qualified to superintend the education of a
hundred thousand children, and select him
out. of all his fellows to have a voice in the
management of the curriculum of studies. As
in Boston, so will the position become here a
post to be sought for by all as an honor, and
given only to the best. We hope that the
first steps of the new Board will be to eschew
all political influences, and the choice of
teachers be influenced only by merit and not
by partisan feeling.
What Constitutes Ilussian America.
When the treaty between Russia and the
United States in regard to the purchase of
Russian America was made public, every
publio man and newspaper looked and talked
wisely, but were careful not to be too com
mittal, for, with the exception of Mr. geward,
nobedy had heard of Russian America further
than by name, and we doubt if the Secretary
of State knows anything about it himself.
The Nation, however, has been going into the
subject, and gives us the following succinct
account of the beauties of our proposed acqui
sition, which are certainly instructive :
' IluHHtan America Is Inhabited by fifty thou
sand fishing, trapping, fur-bearing Esquimaux,
and nine or ten thousand Russians, Kassiati
A merit-ana. and neoule whom the im7...u.f(rs

provisions, and ex nor 1 1
a yearly
diminishing quantity of furs. Tiiecc
country Is
a liozen wilderness, belter knowu to Arctic
explorers and whalers than to most other men,
Mid probably of no possible value to any men
but them, thesemi-clvilized tribes that support
existence there, and the Ilussian settlers w no
trade with them. The territory Is larger than
eight Htates tike New.'York wonld be, its area
being 894,000 square miles. What we want of it,
unless to take u solitude and call It .Seward, by
erecting It Into a Territory, we do not know,
but we can buy the privilege of flying the stars
and stripes over a colony, and a worthless
colony, by paying seven millions of dollars for
it. This we suppose Congress will not do.
There Is no good reason for doing it,
and several good reasons for not
doing It. We do not want far-distant, detached
colonics, nor ice and snow territories, nor
Esquimaux lellow-clll.euM, nor Mount Saint
Klias, and there Is nothing else to be hud from
Alaska and Barrow's Point, so far as we are
iniormed. The Czar's intentions, aside from
bis design of getting the seven millions in gold,
are doubtfu.. It may be that he thinks New
Archangel not worth the powder and shot he
may have to expend in its uel'enso iu case of a
new Eastern war. It may be that he wauts to
Impress Europe with the Idea of the closeness
of friendship that must exist between Kassia
and a country for whose suke Hussla cuts oil' a

of a colony and we imagine there will be little
aimcuuy in cnoosing uie ngui answer.
Senator Saclsbuky's drunkenness has be
come so habitual as to force the Senate, out of
mere self-protection, to institute measures for
his expulsion. This step ought to have been
taken long ago, but a natural disinclination on
the part of the Senate to affix such a public
brand of Infamy upon one of their number,
has led to the toleration of an evil which has
become a notorious scandal. Saulsbury had
o be forcibly removed irom tae Chamber yes
terday, and lay drunk upon the floor of the
coat-room until the close of the session. Put
him out.
General Sciiokikld at Work General
Schofield is the first of the military command
ers who has ordered the registration of voters
provided for in the Keconstruction law. He
geems disposed to push matters along without
hesitation. Under the law the registration
can be made any time before the 1st of Sep
tember next. This affords ample time for
Laving the work honestly and thoroughly
performed.
The Mobile Tribune, in an appeal to the De- i
mocratic party of the North, is responsible for
the following metaphor: "Whon Abolition
ism, shaped from ita native ooze into a full
formed beast, started on its career of destruc
tion, tearing down the ramparts of Holy Writ
in order to throttle the South, and through
the South the charter of constitutional free
dom, which was your heritage as well as ours,
in those days, Democrats of the North, you
stood shoulder to shoulder with the people of
the South." "So we did," they will answer,
when they know that the Mobile Tribune offers
office as a reward, and threatens a new Rebel
lion: "It has occurred to us that some among
you would not object to go to Congress as
representatives from the South. It is likely
that wo can elect you, if you help us some
what, and, as you can take the test-oath, you
can take your seats in the Capitol. If that lie
forbidden you, you will have an opportunity
of doing with Democratic Congressmen what
some of you say you will do, if need be, with
the next Democratic President (a safe threat,
probably) seat him by force of arms. The
time is hastening the enemy taking position
and planting batteries. Up with your colors,
Democrats of the North I"
Some of our Democratic contemporaries are
particularly sarcastic on the United State3
Senate because it consults the membor of the
lower House before it confirms a nominee in
his district, and characterizes such courtesy as
"cowardice," and states that "it cannot ven
ture to confirm a nominee without asking per
mission of the member." A moment's reflec
tion will show that such a course of conduct i3
eminently proper. Who is better qualified to
know the abilities of a man, a Senator from a
distant State or the representative from the
district in which the would-be officer resides f
And if there be any personal objection, who
should be consulted soonor than the repre
sentative of the people over whom the offloer
is to exercise control ? Such a referenoe is
not only due to courtesy, but to justice and
policy.
Authoritative Interpretation ok tub Law.
If any of our Generals in command of Dis
tricts, under the Reconstruction law, are
doubtful as to the extent of their powersunder
that act, we would advise them to read the
President's veto messages of the original and
supplementary bills. They will there find
that their powers are practically unlimited.
This is the President's rjicial interpretation of
the law; and, of course, he is too consistent to
back down from it at this early day. If
General Sheridan, therefore, wishes to remove
the Rebel Throckmorton from the Provisional
Governorship of Texas, let him go ahead. , He
has full power to do so, and the country will
sustain him in it.
The Fairmount Park Extension. The
opinion delivered this morning by Judge Alli
son, setting aside the award of damages by
the jury in the Fairmount Park Extension,
will be found in full in our columns to-day.
It is extremely spicy, and any one who has a
liking for rich developments will not fail to
read it, independently of his interest in the
matter as a taxpayer. ,
Next week the music-lovinir citizens of
Philadelphia will be presented with a short
season of the genuine Italian Opera, the lead
ing artists of the troupe being none other than
M'me Parepa-Rosa and the world-renowned
Brignoli. Both of these are great favorites in
this city, as was fully proved by the enthu
siastic reception given them at their last ap
pearance in concert at the Academy of Music.
Brignoli has frequently appeared here in his
great operatic roles, while M'me Parepa now
makes her dtfbut in this line before a Philadel
phia audience. The only thing to be regretted
in connection with the matter is the brevity oi
the season which has been alloted us.

WHAT IS DTSPEPSIAt
nYSPEPfillA IIAH THE FOLLO-fTINc
ITHPTOIM i
1st. A crmstnnt pain or uneartnent n (Ae pu of
the Stomach Which is caused by a permanent
contraction of the stomach upon thn undigested
food. Jt Kenerally begins Immediately or a
short time after eating; Is often very severe and
obotlnale.
2d. FlaMence and Acidity. The symptoms
arise from the lndlKestiou of food, which fer
ments instead of digesting.
3d. Cortivenru and Ixs of Appetite. The
symptoms are the effect of the uunatural con
d'ltlon of food in (he slomach, and the want of
pure bile and pantile J -nee. The stomach Is often
painfully distended by wind; the appetite la
sometimes voiaclous.
4th. Gloom and I)rpreion of FhUrits. This
Mate unfits manv for the enjoyment of life, and
is mused by the Impure blood furnished by Im
perfect digestion. In this stage or tne disease
many persons commit suicide. Thereisacon
slant iorebodlnii ot evil, and au lndiUiirenoe
and positive lnubility to perforin the oiuces of
life.
6th. THarrhcea After hcinn at first costive,
the suflertr Is nlllieted with diarrhoea, which Is
owlne to a diseased condition of tbe bowels,
produced by the undigested food, which Is
evacuated in the same condition as when
eaten, and of course gives no strength to the
system.
6th. Pains in all rartsofthe System Arise from
the action of impure blood upon the nerves.
They are felt chiefly in the bend, sides, and
breast, and In the extremities. In many case
there is an uneasiness lu the throat, with m
sense of choking or suffocation; the mouth la
often clammy, with a bad taste aud a furred
tongue. ,
7lh. Consumptive Stmptoms and Palpiation of
the Heart. Many persons pronounced as having
these dlaeases have, In luct, not hing but Dys
pepsia, the lung and heart disease being only
fcymploms.
8th, Cotigh. This Is a very frequent symptom
of Dyspepsia, and leads very often Into con
firmed consumption.
9th. Want of Uleej). A very distressiug symp
tom, resulting from mental derangements.
10th. Symptom of External HeUition.H pa
tient Is atlected painfully by cold and heat,
which is owing to unnatural dryness of skin,
and the skin is often alteeted by eruptions and
tetters. The gloomy dyspeptic avoids society aa
much as possible.
11th. Vomiting. A frequent and distressing
symptom. It relieves the pulu, but euiaolaUja
and wears out the patient.
12th. Diztincss, dimness of vision, headache, and
staggering in walking. These are very alarming
symptoms, which are speedily removed by our
medicines; but if neglected are quickly followed,
by numbness and sudden death.
13tb. It Is Impossible for us to give all the
symptoms of liyt-pepsin, lu so small a space, but
tiie above are considered sulllcieut, if we add
that tbe patient loses his memory and regard to
surraundlng objects, and frequently becomes
morose auu boui in disposition, vy e snouiu say,
however, thut pulna in the Joints and stitfuess
of the limbs, which go by the name of rheuma
tism aud neuralgia, are produced by Dyspepsia.
Also, a hnrduc-s of the muscles of the abdomen,
which becomes contracted aud hard; and In
some cases the belly sinks, Instead of being
gently prominent.
N. B. Perhaps we have not said enough of
that strongest symptom of Dyspepsia, melan
choly. We have examined hundreds or cases of
Dyspepsia, who were so much affected in their
minds that they constantly forbode loss or their
reason, which unfitted them for business of any
kind, and many of them have been patients of
tbe Insane Asylum, who are now permanently
cured by our medicine.
Hundreds of thousands of dollars are spent
yearly, and hundreds ot thousands of the best
men and women of America linger In pain and
die, and fill a premature grave, with that awful
disease. Dyspepsia. Tbey try this physician
and that physician, but alas I alas! no relief, no
cure; and the next we hear of them they have
gone "to that bourne from whence no traveller
returns."
Out of the thousands of coses of Dyspepsia
that have used Dr. Wlshart's Great Atnerloaa
Dyspepsia rills and Pine Tree Tar Cordial, not
one of them lias failed of a perfect cure. We
warrant a perfect cure In every case, no nadier
