'The Four Quarters "The second number of The Pour Quarters, the new Democratic weekly edited by Mr. J. Trainor King, confirms the favor able impression made by the first. The typograph ical appearacce of the paper is unusually handsome, While the literary attractions presented lu Its pages are varied and entertaining. Under the head of "Sketches of Prominent Democrats" is a portrait and biography of Hon. Richard T. Merrick, of "Washington, D. C, and on the same page with this we find an excellent resume or the treaty just deter mined upon by the Joint High Commission, and a number or other readable articles.. The editorial discussions of current topics are able, and The Four Quarters will undoubtedly be a valuable addition to the Democratic papers of Philadelphia. For gen eral readers a number of short stories, sketcnes. and poems, many of them original, or translated expressly for The Four Quarters, are given, which will make the paper a weluome visitor to family cir cles. We are particularly pleased with a very pretty sketch entitled "Sarah," In the current number, which has been translated from the French by Airs. Martha Lafltte Johnson, a lady favorably known as a graceful original writer as well as a translator. "The Maid of Solenre"ls another entertaining story, and in addition to these there is a great variety of pieces on all manner of subjects, which help to make up a lively and readable sheet. The two num bers of The Four Quarters that have been issued In dicate that its conductors have energy and ability, and we wish it every success in the future. 4 aj A Nxw UNivERBALifirtCHrRCH Thecongregatlon or tne second universalis unurcn. iormen; located on Eighth street, near Noble, have ordered the con struction or a new noose or worsnip on master, above Sixteenth street, and the plans having been prepared, it la expected grouDd will be broken in a week or two.

In Bchnyirill work will be generally resumed on next Monday, The indepen dent collieries of the Wyoming region are also pre paring to resume, and in the regions or Colombia and Mortbnmberland counties special agreements have been made. The mines of the Lehigh Coal and Navigation Company, according to tho latest despatches, will also resume on Monday. This resnmption is much more speedy than what WM f xpectctf a week ago, and least of ail was it thought that SehMlilU would lead the way. But hunger, the want of the necessaries of life, and other troubles which the miners have wilfully brought upon themselves, were the great power. The SchuTlklll region resumes by submitting to arbitration on the question of wages, and this It could have done long ago If the men had minded the teachings of their own good common sense instead of the mercenary advice of the interested lcsders. The lew portions oi tne coai dpius stm in idleness will not long remain in that condition, now that the majority have determined to yield", and in a few days time we will probably see every mine In fu l operation. This is a cause for great congratulation not only to the miners but to all concerned. After tne great sunenng woicn tne miners nave gone tnrougn witn voiur.ianiy, wiinout Raving DAinpd a Rlnirle advantage thereby. It Is honed that a severe but healthy lesson has been learned by them, which will prevent a recurrence of another great strike with ail its disastrous consequences. When another suspension Is proposed, the miners should think well what it means before tney vote in iavor oi It. and listen to reason. It is hoped that they will see, what has been plainly seen by everybody else nvretoiore, mat lor tneir own uest interests it is better to settle dinicuities in any otner way posaioie than to resort to a general suspension, especially when it Is likely to be of so great a duration as this one has been. The miners have had to bsarmucn tnemseives by reason of the enforced idleness, but they have l.ad hut little svmnathv. because they were so mani festly unjust, because they Ill-treated all who had dealings with tnem, aim oecuuae an me suueuug that they were obliged to bear thev brought upon themselves of their own free will. A spirit of sym pathy was raised for a stort time in New York, be cause New York is a desperate enemy of the coal com panies, and tne miners were ngnting tne companies. But when it was found what demands were made, when the New York public became better acquainted with the kind of men they had to deal with, this sympathy soon died out, and the miners were deservedly left to fight the battle themselves. The securing of the hearty 111- wlll of everybody towards the miners is not one of the least evils whteh that class have brought upon themselves by their late actions, in addition to tne Impoverishment of themselves and families which they have so well accomplished, and they will feel the eii'ects of this their own action for a long time to come. The reputation they have gained will hang to them, and every little action and deed that Is done, whether right or wrong, will be interpreted according to this reputation. It will take a long course of good deeds and behavior to obliterate the remembrance of the unreasonable course of the miners in the late troubles. But the miners have not been the only sufferers. The miners' dependants the laborers, etc. many of whom were opposed to a suspension, were kept in a state or idleness ana want ny tne miners' action. Many merchants In the coal regions have been commercially ruined, and the coal regions themselves have been put In such a state of lawless ness and disorder that life has been In jeopardy, and as a result ot this lawless state, the human pas slons have been roused to such an extent that in some cases blood has been shed and even Uvea lost. To all these evils, another might have resulted to the poor of our cities, y reason of the scarcity of coal, had not a merciful Providence sent mild weather, and enabled those who would otherwise have su tiered severely to do without artificial warmth to a great extent This scarcity, had it been felt, the miners would have been directly responsible for, tiotwltbstanding the action of the carrying com panies, lor tne miners stoppea wors in tne nrst place that this scarcity might be felt for their own advantage, which it would have been had not the companies stepped in and taken the risk and blame of the evil upon their own shoulders, for at least more humane ends. The loss to capital has been immense, and this should also be taken into account as one of the evils, though poor people are apt to think that mis is of no account, because the rich are so ranch the more able to bear losses than their less fortunate neigh bors. But if one member suffers we all sutler with him. If the rich operators have been crippled to an? extent by the suspension, to that extent are they tb leu ablu to atfor.l remunaratlva employment ta the noor miners, and so again the action of the miners recoils ubon themselves. i or this completion oi toe sinne, sausiactory iu many respects, the consuming public is largely in dented to tne action oi tne companies, iiutwiwiai-auu ing the apparent undeslrabieness or tne combination. Had the comnanlea taken any other coarse we might fow have bad a resumption of work with low nrtceH. bnt we miirht also have been completely in the power of the miners, as of old, and be obliged to pay nigner prices wnenever tney tuounutui.. iuo carrying companies and the operators are now more free to act for their own and . our best Interests than ever before in the history of the coal industry, ana for this we should be grateful to the companies, at least to . . . . 1 T V- . 1 7, Mn .

Auotner traue union which has been more poorly managed and more diverted from its legitimate sphere cannot be found, and if this is the end of the trouble which it has occa sioned we have gotten off remarkably easy. One thing is certain, that the members will never again trust so implicitly ana so unanimously to me present leaders, and if others are elected, should the pre sent ones ever be prevailed upon to present their bona jia resignations, we nope that at leist some what better ones will be put into their places.

In all parts of the city Reople are now busily engaged in decorating their onses. Most conspicuous of all is the magnificent decoration of the German Democrat ofnee. The Idea, emblematically expressed, is that we henor the gatlant men who fought for the right for "peace and nnlon ;" but that far more our homage is due to the Idea of rational and free government and healthy social order; for a "union" based on the eternal principles of liberty and justice enunciated by Thomas Jefferson, whose "pen was mightier than the sword." Yet the press Is mlghtest of all, for It propagates thoughts and thereby makes them the motive power of the nation. The above Ideas are expressed by pictures in an ascending line: reptese ntlng " Emperor William, crowned bytneADgei or Peace, ' "Thomas Jeirerson," ana "ine rress." anove wn'cn rises tne statue or its intentor, "Johannes Ontenberg." Three pictures in a horizontal line, of which that above "Knipe rrr William" Is again the central one, form the base of the pyramid of pictures, and they represent the orinclDles and the result of the war "Germanla holding watch on the Rhine," conquering peace and b'lnglug back "Union." The picture of Emperor William above, the pictures of Bismarck, the Crown I'rince ana a uavarian uurassier. on tne ngnt siae. ana of Moltke. Prince Frederick Carl, and "Fuseller Kutecnke,' on tne left side, evergreens ana tne Ger man and American colors, form the frame of the whole decoration, which Is crowned by American flags, national, State and city.

Bunn, Register of Wins, indicted for subornation or perjury, wno de murred to the Indictment on the ground that the prosecution was not begun in time to save it rrom the effect of tbe statute of limitations, Judge Paxson this morning gave a decision confirming this point, and quashing tbe indictments. The Opinion, Which is very awe una interesting, is as loiiows: Throe hills of indictment were found bv the Grand Jnri at tbe March term of tbe Oourt against the above defen dant, charging bim with subornation of perjury. To these bills be bas interposed tne statute ot limitations oy way of demurrer and motion to quasn. It waa formerly supposed that In order to obtain the benefit of tbe statute it was necessary to plead it. Tbe law was so held in uommonweaiin vs. tmtcmnson, u far sons, 453. But this ease baa been overrated, and a oon inn rlnetrine waa laid down in Com. vs. Kuffeer. 4 Uasev. Vo9. in me laiier cm it was ueiu mui, ma uvibuuidi. maj take advantage of the statute without pleading it. Mr. Wharton, in his execellent "Treatise on Jrltninil Law," vol. i. 445, says: The general rule is tint advan tage may be taken of the statute on the general issue, or Urn it appeara on reoora oj motion in arrest oi juag tnent or a motion te. ouaah." To tbe same point is Com monwealth v. Uaas, 7 P. F. 8.. 443, wben the iadiotment waa auashed because it aPDeared upon its faoe that the offense charged bad been committed more than two years prior to the nnaing oi tne mil. In t he caaea under consideration the bills charge the offense to bave been oommitted on the loth day of Janu ary, A. I. 1k69, and tbe said bills were found on tbe 21st day of March, A. D. 1871, or more than two ers there of tar In Commonwealth vs. Wa&s. above cited, it was beld that the limitation pretented by tbe 77th Section of Act OI Aiaroil .11, low criminal pruceuure,, w uocuiupuwu from tbe time a true bill is found, and not from the time of the commencement of tbe proseoution. The said sec tion provides tbat all louiotments ana proeeautions lor other felonies, not named or excepted heretofore in this section, ana for ell misdemeanors, perjury excepted, sball be brought or exhibited within two years aftur such felony or misdemeanor shall nave been eommittea." It. waa nrsed for the Uommonwealin that tue rj'.n section of tbeaode defining the offense of perjury his abolished all practical d.fterenoe between perjury and autmrnjition of nariurv. and tbat bv reason thereof tbe latter otTsnse is alsj exoi-ted by tbe statute of limita tions. It ie difficult to aee the force of this reasoning. It ia trna that both offenses ara nnnishad alike, but this ia tbe case with many other offenses. Perjury at common law is defined to be a crime committed when a lawful oath is administered in some judicial proceeding to a person who swears wilfully, absolutely, and falselv in a mat ter material to tbe iaane or noint in Question. Kub- ornatlon,ef perjury is the offense of procuring another to take snoii a false oath as constitutes nerjury in tbe principal 4 Black, Com. 136. The defendant ia oharged witn toe latter onense, anil lor tnat tne statutory uuuta tion is two vea ra. It baa also been suggested that the defendant wat a member of the Legislature, and by the Constitution tirivileged from arrest for all oil antes exoept felony and ireauh of the Duaoa nntil the 112d of Aoril. I869.swueu that body adjourned. If this were relied npon to atop the running of tbe statute it should bave been averrea in tbe bill, but if it bad been su averred it would not bave availed under the authority of lira a am va. the Com. 1 P. F. 8. 255, wben it was held that the "pro viso waa meant for persona escaping ana absenting tuera selves to avoid punishment until laDse of time might en able them to return with impunity." la 44iscase it is not pretended that tbe defendant tea not keen within tbe jurisdiction of this Oourt. and liable te arrest, during nearly tbe whole of the statutory period, and that prose- cut ion might nave been commenced wuem that time. 1 his case is too clear for anfiimeut The indictment shows upon its face that the olUmae charged was com mitted, if committed at all, more than twe yaa prior to tbe finding of the bill; and there are no averusnta in aaid Pill ol any lacta wiilon bring the case wit bin ine excep tions speoiiied in the statute. In such oaaea the law in- tryoees its shield for the pretention of the defendant. 1 hta iaaoo well aettd in ha nuAatiiknad.

Sclienck, the proprietor, of pulmonary con sumption, whea it had assumed its most for midable aspect, and when speedy death appeared to be inevitable. Ilia physicians pronounced his case incurable, when he com- menced the use of this simple but powerful remedy. His health was restored in a very short time, and no return of the disease has been apprehended, for all the symptoms quickly disappeared, and his present weight is more than two hundred pounds. Dr, Schenck has been equally successful in the treatment of others similarly affected. Siace his recovery he has devoted his attention ex cluBively to the cure of consumption and the diseases which are usually complicated with it, and the cures effected by his medicines have been very numerous and truly wonder ful. The Syrup is a safe remedy. It con tains no mineral poison and no violent drug of any kind; henee it cannot possibly injure the system. Its healing effects on the lungs are most remarkable; it permeates those organs and carries its salutary in fluences to every part; it soothes the Inflamed surface of the bronchial tubes; it promotes expectoration, and thus enables the system to throw off the disease. In short, it is the true remedy and the only one for the most fatal of all maladies, as many persons of the high est respectability who have experienced its benefits can testify. Numerous certificates to this effect, and full directions in English, French, Spanish, and German, accompany each bottle. Dr. Schenck is professionally at his Princi pal Office, No. 15 N. Sixth street, corner of Commerce street, Philadelphia, every Satur day, where all letters for advioe must be addressed.

SCIIUrJCII'S SUAWUDD TONIC. This medicine, invented and preparred by Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, is proved to be the best remedy for dyspepsia, and all disorders of the digestive organs, that has ever been offered to the public The great suooess and popularity of Dr. Schenok's Pulmonio Syrup are sufficient to recommend this Tonio to publio favor and confidence. It was originally designed to be used in connection with the Pulmonio Syrup in the treatment of consumption, but experience proves that it is adapted to all cases of indigestion and debility. The Seaweed Tonic possesses all the strength ening properties of iodide of iron, iodine, or iodide of potassium. It is also similar in nature to the gastrio juice, the fluid which nature provides to carry on the process of di gestion, and when that fluid is deficient, the Tonio supplies its place. It is the only medicine which can answer this purpose, and, consequently, it is the only medicine which can cure dyspepsia. Other preparations, how ever they may seem to afford temporary re. lief, never fail to aggravate the disease. This must necessarily be the case when corrosive acids and minerals are used to cure indigestion; and such are the remedies which physicians generally prescribe for that object. The Seaweed Tonio contains no such inju rious drugs. It is distilled from a vegetable substance, which is produced in great abun dance on the seashore, the mode of distilla tion being similar to that which is used in the manufacture of Jamaica spirits. This Tonio never disagrees with the most delicate stomach. In the early stage of consumption this medicine ia generally of great utility, as consumption often begins with disorder of the stomach and general debility, for which Schenok's Seaweed Tonio is a certain remedy. Dr. Schenck is professionally at his princi pal office, No. 15 N. S;xth street, corner of Commerce street, Philadelphia, every SaturJ day, where all letters for advioe must be ad dressed.

When we reflect that the liver is the largest internal organ of the body; that to it is as signed the important duty of filtering the blood and preparing the bile; that it is sub. ject to many disorders, and that when it is diseased, or inactive, the whole body Buffers sympathetically, it is not surprising that a medicine which can restore the healthy operations of the liver should .pro duce wonderful changes in tho general health, and effect cures which may appear to be almost miraoulou?.
