THE r ITILA DEL PITTA COMMISSIONS.
From the Barritburg State Jrnal
Two weeks ago we published the faot that
Boheme bad been organized for the pnrpose
of farming out the government of the city of
Philadelphia, that Tweed, the king of the
Tammany ring in New York, wai at the bot
tom of it, and that $1000 wm the Price
offered for a vote in the Legislature in favor
of bill establishing these "commissions."
On the same day that we wrote thus a special
despatch from l'hiladelphia, to the Pittsburg
Commercial, an Bounced the same fact.
Since then other newspapers bare taken np
the matter, and, in almost ever ease, hsve
condemned it in unmeasured terms. The en
gineers of the scheme attempted to purchase
the silence of the Philadelphia ptpars, but
signally failed. Every one of the respoctable
daily journals there, both Republican and
Democratic, have condemned the project as
an attttnit to plunder the tax-payers and to
override the rights of the people.
This very general discussion has called out
many of the facts relative to the origin, pro
gress, and design of this movement. A few
of the weakest and meanest Republicans in
the city, joined by a few Democrats of like
social ami political character, conspired to
capture the city government and to divide
the public patronage and the private plunder
Among themselves, their associates, and
backers. Two of these Republicans and one
Demociat made a pilgrimage to New York, to
leBrn fioiu the great sachem of the Tauimany
tribe b.w to "set np the job." Mr. Tweed
entered very enthusiastically into the scheme,
and went so far as to offer to supply the cash
r.ecesMiiv to "put it through." It was at
"this iirt interview that the iJea was
advbDced that this would be a praotical way
of capturing the city and turning its majority
over to the Democracy. During several year
past, in tie, State outside of Philadelphia, tho
vote bit ween the political parties has been
nearly evf n. The majority in the city has
usually decided the election; whatever
party, therefore, can cast a large majority
vote there, may count with reasonable cer
tainty on carrying the Stale. This theory
was put forth by Mr. Tweed, uauohjto the de
light of the Democratio and one of the Re
publican members of the self-constituted ex
ploring expedition to New York. The other
Republican was not quite low enough to bo
party to such treason to his party, lie was
shocked at the suggestion and withdrew.
This envoy extraordinary returned and
made due report to the conspirators. It was
then determined to organize other commis
sions, to be clothed by act of Assembly with
plenal power in their.respective departments.
A Commission of Highways, with power to
lay out, open, grade, and pave streets without
application to court or other authority, a Com
mission of Police and Fire, with an incre.no
of the police to 2000; a Tax Commission, with
authority to levy, collect, and disburse the
public revenues. The commissions are so
constituted as to be composed of five mem
bers, two of whom are staunch Democrats,
two fair Republicans, and one namby-p tni by
Republican, who will sell out cheap. The
Police and Fire Commission is
to be composed of seven mem
bers three Democrats, three Republi
cans, and the Mayor ex-officio. There has
been a vast deal of doctoring, cathartical and
surgical, done and endured in the efforts to
fix np these commissions so as exactly to pro
vide for all contingencies. There is great
difficulty experienced in finding an honor
able Republican willing to be crucified be
tween two thieves. It is necessary, how
ever, to have some one as a figure-head to
f;ive respectability, associated with two vil
ains and two Democrats. A score, more or
less, have been named, but none will lend
themselves to this infamous conspiracy to
rob the people.
The city government now, in every depart
ment, excepting only the police, is Republi
can, and at the next eleotion the people will
choose a Republican Mayor, thus making the
departments harmonious in politics. The
froposition to organize commissions is a de
iberate and well-considered conspiracy to
seize the government, to gain control of the
Legislature, for the purpose of repealing the
registry law, so that any required majority
for the Democrats may be recurned in the
city. Thus Pennsylvania is to give its elec
toral vote for the Tammany candidate for Pre
sident in 1872. Its exeoutive and legislative
departments are to be made Democratic,
and all are to be managed in the interest of
the New York Democracy; that is, the worst
elements of both the Republican and Demo
cratio parties have conspired to snatch, for
purposes of plunder, the Government of the
United States from the control of the more
liberal and respectable portions of those par
ties. New York city and State is already
solely under the selfish and extravagant rule
of those conspirators; the next attempt is to
be made in Philadelphia and Pennsylvania.
With these two powerful and populous States
firmly in their clutches, further conquests
will be easy and rapid.
Of course, the Democracy in the Legisla
ture are expected to vote solidly for the bills
establishing these commissions; the Republi
can majority in the House is to be overcome
by bribery. Thus far it may be possible for
the conspirators to go, though we shall not
believe, until compelled to, that sa muoh
venality exists in the House of Representa
tives. - For Governor Geary to affix his offi
cial signature to these bills is impossible.
No man conversant with the history of his
public life, or professing even the most
limited knowledge of his character, will,
for an instant, entertain the idea of
Lis lending himself to such an infamous
echme. We understand the leading con
spirators say that "friends of the
Governor are put on the commis
sions, and they will secure exeoutive ap
proval of the bills." It is false! No
man who is a true friend of Governor Geary
will even brook the insinuation that there is
a shadow of chance for obtaining his signa
ture to acts of the nature and scope con t era -
lated by these vampires. To bills asked for
jy the people, favored by ths publio press,
and obtained by honest legislation, the Gov
ernor will give his approval. In this case,
however, the reverse is true, and from our
knowledge of the official integrity, party
loyalty, personal honesty, wisdom, and large,
good common sense of his Excellency,
we declare, without fear of contradic
tion, that there is not, never has been,
and never will be, a ghost of a chance to
obtain the name of John W. Geary to
any instrument of the nature and design of
those that are to be submitted for the author
ization of commissions for the government of
Philadelphia. We have net seen the Governor
for a week, nor have we been honored with
bis views on the subject, but so much we set
down as fact. He will not, he cannot, coun
tenance this villany. We doubt if the bold
est of the villains have the courage to ask
biia to. Meantime, however, let all honest
men everywhere assail this conspiracy, ex
pose its nature, and defeat, if possible, its
passage through the House and Senate; if
they fail to throttle it, the Governor will
come to the relief of the people, by crushing
the serpent's head under Lis official heel.

We have received from William Welch, Esq.,
of this city a letter written by a well-known
army officer, relative to the Indian troubles and
the duty of the Government in the present cri
la. The writer knows thoroughly whereof he
affirms, and what be pays will command the
earned attention of thinking people. In Intro
duction Mr. Welsh nays:
"General Gibbon, the writer of the following
letter, It a brave officer who had much inter
course with Indiana in Florida and elsewhere.
He la able to trace IudUn wars to their true
frource, but the mere statement of wrongs
makes a feeble Impression upon the reader,
although ttreriKtheDcd by the Indian's piteous
otiii lnint, 'Our word never reach the ear of
the Ureat Father 1' How quickly the whole
lion would be aroused to action if even a
score of white landed proprietors had been
coerced to yield up the most of their posses
sions, and the aunul payment therefor taken
lor political vatrooaire, and. the right of petition
denied except tbroniru the very men who were
detraudiDK luein! If a few whites thus treated
uld make an irresistible appeal to us as men
and cltl7.cn, aurely a little r.eal on the part of
tuoee who have witnested similar wrongs to our
Indian wards should not seem unnatural. It is
mid that no advocate tor the re-lntroduceloa of
tslaury could now bo rleetod to Congress In any
portion of the United State, bo gront Is the
change of sentiment, but the bare thought of
iuc coHijiueFs in uie-uioou oi nils ciianie causes
an involuntary shudder. Defrauded Indian
chief and warriors have often aked me If any
thins; but warriiiK against the white man could
induce this Government to deal honorably with
the red man. The cbanKo f public seotitnent in
favor ol the Jndiun has been so rapid within the
liwt two years that surely a bloodless revolution
is at Lnnd. The jrct-eiit (Jointress during tho
lew remaining da a of it session will no doubt
give practical evidence of this blessed change."
OFHr.HAL (i in BON '8 J.E1TKR,
Fokt Fhaw, ."Montana Territory. Feb. 11, isTl.
My D'-ar Mr:-I have Just finished reading your
very Interesting; luillau report, sent me, 1 presume,
liy Mr. U. 11. etuart. Its perusal tills me with re
newed confidence In the scheme, now lor the first
time Inaugurated, for the peaceful couquest of these
people.
There are two mean, and I believe but two, of
rendering tho occupancy of this country by the two
race, white and red, possible, one Is peaceful and
the other Is warlike, and 1 for one prefer tho former.
One principal ressou why the warlike has been
used heremiore almtt universally Is Inconsequence
of the almost inconceivable corruption existiug la
the Indian Hureau, which scarcely any one ever en
tered txcrpt for the avowed object ol making a for
tune, and lie was unfortunate Indeed who failed to
succeed. Knowing as I do the corruptions which
formerly existed, and tho Impositions upon both
the Indians and the Government,
the only wonder to me Is that we
have ever been able to have peace with any of the
rlbes. The Indians themselves express in their
own eloquent way how dosolate and abandoned Is
tueir condition when they ay "that their Oreat
r atlier la so far off that their words never reach his
ear." 1 hank God I they are now closer to his car
tliun they have ever been before. No one not per
sonally cognizant ol the facts can conceive of the
uhuscs formerly existing In the Indian Department.
(1 lie recital of fearful abuses Is omitted lest the in
nocent might suffer for wrongs done by their
lathers.)
This Is the kind of thlDg which you, gentlemen,
are called upon to unearth, expose, and correct,
and, Judging from your report, you are In a fair way
of doing it. Theoflleersof the army rave hereto
fore not been In a position to make thik exposure
themselves, but 1 feel sure they wul do all In their
power to aid you in doing it, and will bid you
heartily God -speed In your undertaking. As a class,
they have no ambition for a war witn Indians, and
prt fer to see them kept peaceful by the conciliatory
means and the justice which they have never thus
far received. F'Khtlug Indians has this great dis
udvantage compared with the svstein you are fol
lowing for, besides the loss of life and greater ex
priise, tr-e result, when any definite result Is
reached. Is the xtermmatlon of the ludiaas, for
v r with tliein must be tlut and naming else.
My observation convinces me that the wild Indian
of this country is susceptible of great cultivation
and Is open to appeals to his better nature, which
he possesses as well as the white man, and, in fact,
in a higher degree than the great majority of the
white men with whom he conies in contact In our
Western country. If a different Idea has heretofore
prevailed, It has been lu consequence of the bad
qualities developed la the Indian nature by an asso
ciation with the worst qualities of the white man,
just as evil communications corrupt children; for
Indians lu their wild state are but grown children,
and, like them, soon learn to distinguish
Intuitively their friends from their ene
mies. I.Ike children, too, their acts are all
the result of Impulse and not of reason. When these
impulses are bad their acts are so, and the reverse.
So all our enrtes vors should be to incite them to good
Impulses, with the csrraluty of good acta following.
1 have oiien observed with children that no matter
how bad they are by nature, they generally manage
to lest rain thulr evil propensities lu the presence of
those they know are thetr friends, and (hat aorh la
the case with Indians I know. The most successful
nan in mamiguig and controlling them I ever sw
always had this one fixed principle, never
to deceive them, and he always asserted
that it was more dlllcuit to re
gain the confldenco of an Indian once deceived
than It was to gain that corddence originally. This
man, the late Captain John C. Casey, of the army,
could go about anywhere In Florida with safety
when no otlur whitoman could do so. The fact
that good men are sometimes murdered and In
numanely tortured Is no argument aga'ust this
view, for when the Indian Is at war and excited to
fury, his Impulse Is to torture and kill all white
enemies, and he cannot tell a friend on sight. Per
severe then, my near air, In your good work of civili
zation and conciliation, and rest assured that your
efforts will meet with the hearty endorsement of
every fair-minded roan In the country.
Very respectfully yours,
Joun gibbon, Col. Tth Infantry.

WISHART'S OOHJrUN
THE MEDICAL PRO
PERTIES OF TAR
The pine tree has long been known to pos
sess valuable medical properties. For pul
monary diseases it is doubtful whether any
remedy has as yet been discovered equal to
it. It seems to change and renew the yery
structure on whioh it aots, and to infuse into
the eyBtem an indescribable power equal to
the natural power before disease had even,
taken hold of the body, so as to make, as it
were, an entirely new tissue, and to give
newness of life and energy which one who
has been sick a long time knows the value of
nt cannot fully describe. The great objec
tion, however, to all tar preparations has been
their unpleasant taste, and consequent lia
bility to sickness and nauseate the stomaoh.
We have before us, however, a preparation of
the kind referred to, which obviates all these
objections, and is as agreeable to the palate
as it is valuable in the oure of disease. We
mean "Dr. Wisharfa Pine Tree Tar Cordial, n
a real, genuine, bona Jide medioinal cordial,
distilled from the pine tree by a prooess
known only to the Dootor himself, the said
and popularity of which are only equalled by
the amount of suffering it has relievod, and
the number of diseases it is so well oalonlated
to effectually cure. In the Pine Tree Tar
Cordial the invalid may be sure he has a
remedy of very extraordinary power for throat
and lung affocliens, and when taken In con
junction with the "Great American Dyspepsia
Pills," an infallible cure for dyspepsia, liver
complaint, sick headache, and the many ail
ments arising from a disordered state of the
liver and digestive organs.
In our sphere as publishers we feel some
degree of cautiousnens in what we recommend
to our readers, but when we know of any
thing of value to the pnblio we shall not hesi
tate to make it known through our columns.
We advise those of our readers who are suffer- '
ing from dyspepsia, etc, to give Dr. Wishart's
celebrated remedies a trial
A medical expert, holding honorable oolle
giate diplomas, devotes his entire time to the
examination of patients at the offloe parlors.
Associated with him are three consulting phy
sicians of acknowledged eminence, whose ser
vices are given to the publio free of charge.
This opportunity is offered by no other in
Btitution in the country.
Thousands of certificates of absolute oure
(when all else failed to afford relief), as woll
as recommendatory letters without number,
have been received by Dr. Wishart, the pro
prietor, attesting the uniform success with
which they have been employed. Many of
said letters are from the highest sources, In
cluding eminent statesmen, Governors, State
judgeB, clergymen, etc men hIow to be con
vinced, prejudiced perhaps at first, but feel
ing themselves under a sense of duty bound
to tell the Doctor what they had done for them,
and to recommend them to others. The Great
Amerioan Dyspepsia Pills and Pine Tree Tar
Cordial are sold by all druggists throughout
the world. They can also be obtained at Dr.
