Wanted A President.
Tns melancholy condition of a "State without
a Kiog and a Church without a Dishop" was
painted by the late Rufua Choate, and now
we have a carious verification of the truthof hia
warnings. At the present time there is a repub
lic which we are told covers three great nations,
America, England, and Ireland. It claims to have
thousands of soldiers in its employ; to have
Abundance of resources, and to lie a bona fide
government; it has a leghlature and an army;
and yet it oannot get a President. The posi
tion of the Irish Republic is unfortunate. It
Beems as though the old story of C:esar and
the profferod crown is being repeated. By in
formation received from New York, it appears
that President Roberts and President Savage
waited upon Mr. John Mitchel and cast the
leadership of the Republic at his feet. With
ft magnanimity and a modesty which have pre
cedents only in Roman history, the glittering
bauble was refused. The Presidency of the
Bepublio was declined. We direct our
glance into history to find parallels.
There was the case of the great Julius,
before referred to. Then there was Elizabeth,
who refused the Flemish crown. Cut why
Beek to add lustre to the refusal by contrasting
it with historical events ? When C:csar re
fused the crown, he consoled Brutus as ex-,
pressing a willingness to fight for Rome.
TVhea Elizabeth denied herself, she entered
into a league to defend her would-be subjects.
So when Mitchel declined the Presidency, he
softened his refusal by assuring the delegation
that "the Brotherhood had his best wishes far
success" a .consolatory utterance under the
circumstances. As it is, the Republio is with
out a leader. What will it do? The Roberts
Wing could never agree on Savage, and the
Savage wing would rather see the Brotherhood
expire than agree on Roberts. Meanwhile we
hope that our Irish-American citizens will do
one thing button up their pockets. In this
unfortunate division, it is always safest to
keep all contributions until a grand head is se
cured. And if a combination should never be
effected, the only result would be to make our
hard-working adopted countrymen decidedly
richer than if the life of the Republio was to
be preserved.
Sheridan's Final Report.
Tub official report of General Sheridan of his
conduct as Commander of the Fifth Military
District was not received in time to be com
municated to Congress with the rest of the
reports of General Grant, and has not received
that notice at the hands of the publio which
its merits deserve. It is brief, yet covers all
the ground. After speaking of the various
details of the command, he refers to the civil
condition of the section over which he ruled,
and stated that nearly all the offices are held
by men who have been elected on the ground
ofthtir participation in the Rebellion; that
many of them, by the laws of the nation, are
aliens; and that the constant tendency was to
thwart the action of the Reconstruction acts.
The difficulty with which he had to oontend
was increased by the seeming assent of the
President to their misdeeds. The General
further states that he has been accused by
' the highest authority in the nation of being
tyrannical, and that he does not hesitate to
state that the charge is untruthful.
The report is a model of force and brevity,
and, contrasted with the empty platitudes of
General Hancock, seems as though written in
a different language. An officer of the Freed
lnen's Bureau recently stated in our presence
that "he would give General Hancock six
months to become as radical as General Sheri
dan." From the well-known temper of the
people of Louisiana, we think his extension of
time will prove quite sufficient.
Wui m tub South. Reports which come
to as of the condition of the blacks in many
portions of the South are deplorable. It
eeems that thousands of them are without
shoes, or clothing at all adequate to defend
them from the inclemency of the weather.
; Especially ia the want of Bhoes felt. The
Women' B Department of the "Freedmen's
Aid Society" ia making an earnest appeal
to the charity of our citizens for cast-oil gar
ments of all kinda and any sums of money.
We know that all contributions fur
jilahed reach directly the most deserving
and needy, and commend to the generosity of
our people their appeal. . In this time of holi
day rejoicing and general plenty, we should not
. forget those whom Providence has not as lav
ishly blessed as ourselves, and should remem
ber His promise, "Inasmuoh as ye do it unto
one of the least of these, ye do it unto me."
A Philadelphia Purcuabb. The Iron busi
ness i being prostouted in all parts of tbe
State with activity. We understand that a
number of our citizens have purchased dif
ferent furnaoes, and intend to work them with
energy. The latest item of information of
interest to our merchants is contained in the

A Harbor on the Delaware.
A guiuRCT is aUraetitig'fome attention iu our
sister State of Delaware which may be of in
terest to our own city, We do not from per
sonal knowledge know the truth of the facts,
but are assured on good authority that the
need of an improvement in the harbor at the
mouth of the Christiaua is imperative. The
Wilmington Commercial states that an attempt
is being made to gt an enterprise under way
to extend the anchorage of the creek, and that
some such extension is required; that when a
storm is threatening, the vessels in the Dela
ware all run in for shelter, and so block up
the harbor that but half can gain admittance.
The same paper mentions the fact that the
steamers, a few days since, from Philadelphia,
were unable, by reason of the crowded state
of the creek, to enter, and were obliged to re
main at Pennsgrove, on the opposite side, all
night. This matter should receive the atten
tion of our merchants, and if the plan pro
posed proves to improve our water facilities,
should receive their support. The Commercial
says:
"We tloolre, therefore, to ask Philadelphia'
at t tm lou to tiio (net that the ChriHtfmin i-t a
splendid natural harbor; that it will always
a Hold a twit) relut;o for the commerce of tlntt
city, wtiirh mny he overtaken by storms on In
way up or down the Delaware; that, it needs im
provement, enlargement, development; and
that, Justly, tills cily auks Philadelphia's co
operation iu the work. Let her sbippinn mer
chants auk the captains of their vessels the
value to them of this harbor, and SPe if it Is not
itoi th their while to Join in its improvement."

"ISUART'S PINK TREK CORDIAL.
Hear fbe bitter cries borne on every breeze. It
is the voice of your sick mother, your dying
father, or perishing children; their bodies are
suffering the burning hell-fires of poisonous
doses. Calomel, Autimony, Copper, Zlno,
Arsenic, Arsenioua Acid, Stramonium, Fox
glove, Morphia, IJelladonna, Henbane, Opium,
Nux Vomica, and Narootiue. See the dim lamp
of life as it flickers. Nature stands up to the
fight as a tried warrior, and commands his sol
diers to come up to the struggle. The Stomaoh
answers, I have received a ball of arsenic from
the doctor's gun; it was his last shot; it has
dissolved itself within me; it feels like liquid
fire; every avenue through which gastrio juice
would flow is obstructed by inflammation from
the dreadful charge. "Come, Liver, I can
depend on you to send life, and blood, and
vitality to every part of the system." The
Liver answers, "I know the victory of tbe day
depended upon my effort, although I was very
sick, and salivated by the last dose I received,
yet when I saw my kindred the nerves that
I had fed for years, trembling and fainting for
the want of pure food,! rallied myself to un
lock the storehouse of pure blood, and ju3t at
that moment I received a bombshell from
death's gun. It was charged with a dose
of Calomel, and my rich blood was turned to
burning water. I can give no assistance, for I
am myself slaughtered by poison." "0 1
Lungs, do not thou fail in this day of battle,
or a great man will perish, and go down to the
grave. Do you not Bee him ? Ha is gasping
he is gasping for breath. Come t oh come
quickly, or all is lost." The Lungs answer,
"I can do nothing, for I have been contracted
for the last five days. Every air passage within
me has been poisoned, and the mucous lining
taken off, leaving me no vitality to aot upon.
I am chained to the car of death by that dread
enemy, Antimony." At this oritical moment
the doctor arrived. Tho weeping wife and
helpless children gather around him, with
bitter tears and cries. They ask, "Can there
not be a change of medicine ? We would like
to try Doctor Wishart's Pine Tree Tar Cor
dial; we have heard of its great popularity to
cure when all hope seemed to be gone, iu cases
of Consumption, Liver Complaint, and Dyspep
sia; and, doctor, we have thought if you would
give your consent, we would send for the Pine
Tree Tar Cordial at once; it may save the life
of my husband." "No," says the dootor, "I
am not willing to give tho case up yet. I will
give one more dose it shall be Belladonna."
And it was given. The fort wa3 stormed, and
it yielded all was lost by the poisonous dose.
He made his last call, and he attempted to
comfort and quiet the broken-hearted widow
and fatherless and helpless children by telling
them of the shortness of human life, and re
minding them of the fact that all men must
die. And thus the work of death goes on.
Parents are bereft of their children, children
are left orphans, families are destroyed, so
ciety deprived of her noblest citizens, aud the
earth filled with misery and poverty, in con
sequence of poisonous medication.
Oh 1 fathers and mothers of the millions of
families of America, stand for one hour upon
the summit of intelligence, unshackled from
the chain of prejudice of the self-styled regu
lar practitioner, and see the destruction of
human life, of men and women of robust con
stitution, of youths with the fires of health
shining through their beaming cheeks, and of
the little babe laughing and dancing, full of
life, upon its mother's knee. They are attacked
with the most simple disease, but for fear of
some danger lurking within, the dootor ia
sent for, the dose is given, and iu the short
space of one week a funeral procession is seen
moving from your doors. We ask, is there
not something wrong ? is there not something
wanting ? some change in the praotioe of me
dicine ? There has been a great advancement
in all other scienoea; why not in medicine f
The old stage has been given up for the quick
travel of the railway car. The tiresome work
of sewing by hand for the rapid sewing
machine. From the slow scythe to out the
grass to the wonderful mowing-machine. From
waiting the arrival of the Blow mail to the
quick lightning speed of the telegraph mes
sage. From the small row-beat to the pow
erful steamer. From the hand printing-press
to the great steam printing-press. Bat in
medicine there has been no advancement for
the last two hundred years. But the dootor
of that period was a hard-working man; he
went out in the forests, and pasture-grounds
of nature's garden, once cursed and blighted
by sin, to bring forth the destruction of man,
but now redeemed and blessed by the Son of
God, that every tree and herb and spear of
grass and all things that grow out of the
ground, from which man was made, should
be filled with curative properties for the heal
ing of man. Out of those trees and herbs he
prepared hia remedies for the oure of diseases.
The work was done in his own laboratory, and
when the medicine was ready for use, he was

not afraid to taste of it himself, lest he should
be poisoned by its destructive properties. It
was a cordial to the sick man and a balm to
heal his disease. But what ia the history of
to-day, of the year 18C7, in the aoienoe of
medicine f We Bay it has retrograded and
gone back faster than all other sciences have
advanced. The doctor of to day has turned
his back upon the great store of the forest,
and said your Wealing virtue requires too
much labor for me to perform. His prescrip
tion is given, and remedies prepared from the
destructive magazines of poisons.
Suoh ia the prejudice of a certain fraternity
of doctors, that if one of their number was to
prepare a great remedy for the cure of a cer
tain disease, and offer it for sale to the needy
sufferer, he would be kicWi out of their midst,
and they would refuse to hold counsel with
him. We say shame on suoh wicked conduct.
God will weigh you in the balance, in His great
day of reckoning, and reward you aooording
to your evil deeds. We Bay to the sick, hope
in God, that you may be restored to health by
the use of Dr. WISHART'S PINE TREE TAR
CORDIAL and GREAT AMERICAN DYS
PEPSIA PILLS.
THE PINE TREE TAR CORDIAL 13
TURELY VEGETABLE. It is the vital prin
ciple of the Pine Tree obtained by a peouliar
process in the distillation of the tar, by which
its highest medicinal properties are obtained.
It is the only safe and reliable remedy which
has ever been prepared from the juice of the
Tine Tree.
It invigorates the digestive organs and re
stores the appetite.
It strengthens the debilitated system.
It purifies and enriches the blood, and expels
from the system the corruption which scrofula
breeds on the lungs.
It dissolves the mucus or phlegm which
stops the air passages of the lungs.
Its healing principle acts upon the irritated
surface of the lungs and throat, penetrating
to each diseased part, relieving pain, and sub
duing inflammation.
It is the result of years of study and experi
ment, and it is offered to the afflicted with the
positive assuranoe of its power to cure the
following diEeaseB, if the patient has not too
long delayed a resort to the means of cure:

THE WAY TO TEST SAFES,
rASSLNG A FIERY ORDEAL.
HERRING'S SAFE
AGAIN TRIUMPHANT.
Great Fire in Charleston, S. C.
KK-lD THE TESTIMONY,
A very destructive conflagration occurred in
Charleston, South Carolina, a few days since,
which burned several extensive stores on East
Bay, among which was once oocupied by
Messrs. J. & T. Getty, the well-known ship
ping agents.
The Charleston News says:
"In the hottest of the fire was one of Her
ring's Safes, which came out, as usual, tri
umphant over its fiery foe. Messrs. J. & T.
Getty have reason to congratulate themselves
that, on opening their Safe yesterday after
noon, they even took out their bank bills and
checks uninjured. We would advise our
friends in need of Safes to try one of Herring's.
They hare proved themselves in our very
midBt thoroughly fire-proof."
ADDITIONAL TESTIMONY.
The Charleston Conritr, in giving an aooount
of the same fire, makes the following editorial
remarks:
"We saw, during the fire, a Safe in the
second story, which seemed in great danger,
but learning it was one of Herring's, we felt
ure that Messrs. J. & T. Getty's books were
all to be saved, and we were right, for, on
opening the Safe yesterday afternoon, it was
found that little injury was done by the fire.
We were glad to see our friend Getty draw out
his package of 'greenbacks,' all 'at par.'
Papers lying loose in pigeon-holes were not
even discolored by the fire. We congratulate
Messrs. Getty on their luck in having one of
Herring & Co.'s Safes."
