BEDFORD, PA., FRIDAY, MARCH 12, IBC3.
OUTSIDE THE KINO.
General Grant, as President, has taken a
new departure in the appointment of his
Cabinet, Professional politicians staud
aghast, chagrined and astounded at the
audacity of the man who has been bold and
independent enough to appoint a cabinet
without asking or heeding their ndvk*.
Political ring, in both partic-s have become
a curse to tbe country and a bane to all po
iiticsd honesty. L-gislation in their hands
has boeome in great part a system of legal i
zed blackmailing, and any one who does
more than talk of honesty in their presence
is deemed a dangerous man. Under these
circumstances Grant's conduct has had ihc
effect of a thunderbolt in their ranks. We
hail it as one of tbe best of omens for ihe
new administration. To ta;k of L ttreocL
ment and Reform would be mere buncombe,
without a bold cutting loose from the dis
horn. Tv and corruption of political rings.
Tbe country wants men at the head of its
government who will hold their offices ami
discharge their official duties for the good
of the country and not for the pampering
of dishonest and eotrupt party hacks. It
is time that both slate and national admin
istrations be freed from the dynasty of buy
ing and selling politicians and the wishes ol
the people he respected. \V e hope to fee
the President persevere in the good work
so well begun. Il he succeeds in purging
the public service from the miserable crew
of corrupt politicians that .have for years,
in both parties, inlested every department,
and by their dishonest practices polluted
the whole system of our body politic, he
will have accomplished a feat scarcely less
than the crushing out of armed, rebellion,
and wili win for himself an enviable posi
tion anioni tbe Presidents oi a great nation.
Tbe various rings will umke a desperate
fight. They, who have so long fat tened en
the hard earnings of a long suffering people
and established as- rt of class government
(and that a very bad class) for the benefit
of a select few, will not \ie"d without a
fierce struggle. One Pennsylvania ring has
been pretty effectually sik-nc .'. let us 1 j
the others may speedily meet a similar
fate. Let us have a pure Republicanism-
It is the wish and the aim of the Repub i
can party to have the country governed in
the interest of the whole people.

Another Railroad War.
Rill,hire Between the Erie and Northern
C ntral Railtcay*—Stoppage of I'rains
at Ehuira.
Klmjra, N. Y., .March .0. What
looks like a pretty serious war has broken
out between the Eiie and Northern Central
Railways. 1 lie Northern Central uses the
Erie track through and on each side of this
city. La-t evening orders were received bv
Divi.-ion Superintendent Pratt of the Erie
to allow no train-of the Northern Central
to come on the Erie track, thus cutting off
the Northern Central from the connections
North. The switches were accordingly
spiked, and all passage of the Northern
Central train* stopped in either direction.
No reasons were aligned for this extraordi
nary procedure, and the railroadmen here
are a- much in the dark a- to the cause of
the difficulty as any body else. It. is sur
uii-ed that the trouble grows out of a hitch
between the two Companies about the pos
session of the Fort Wayne Road as a coin
muni.-ation to Chicago. The difficulty still
continues, and no trains are passing on the
Northern Centra!. An injunction was f?ran
ted this afternoon to prevent the Erie from
obstructing the passage of the Northern
cntral train.-, but as yet no change has oc
curred in the situation. Leading officers
nd directors of the two roads have lie en in
consultation this afternoon to effect a settle
ment. A train on the Northern Central,
with 400 passengers from Washington,
arrived at the break thia afternoon, about a
mile below the city but could go no further

Mr. Adolph E. Ilorir wa> burn in Phila

of ace. When he was fifteen joar< of aire,
he graduated at the Philadelnhia University |
and at twenty four went to Palis, where he
remained several years and completed his i
education. After traveling in Europe, be j
returned to this city and entered business !
as a merchant in china ware. In this busi
ness he has since remained, and is now a si
lent member of the firm of McKean, Boric
A Co., 153 Pock strett: he is uot actively
engaged, and may be said to have retired.
: His fortune is large.
Mr. Boric was formerly an Old Line
j Whig, ami lias always been a determined
| opponent of the Democratic party. He
| never would compromise with it, and always
i voted against it. He was one of the foun
ders of the Union League, and is now it-
Vice Presid- nr. During the war he gave
warm support to the Government, an i c -n
--tributcd his money and influence |j!,. i
He never held an ofFie rtev< r took part in
politics, and never attended political in--' t
ingg, excepting those held at the L- gu -.
Since the war he was introduced to_ (i utit
by General Meade, and the a'ltiaiatsnce
soon ripened into friendship. He was one
of the principal oontrihuiorstothe purchase
of General Grant's house, in Chestnut,
above Twentieth. It is not correct that
Grant wag ever Mr. Bone's guest, though
he dined on one occasion at the Boric man
sioD on the Delavraie river. Last Wednes
day be went to Washington simply to .see
the inauguration, and at that time had not
the slightest idea that he would lie appoint
cd to any place. He supposed that the
rumor originated in his well known esteem
for Grant and Grant's regard for him. Mr.
1> irie is a man identified with the interest's
of Philadelphia, and as S crrtary of tin-
Navy will probably secure the establishment
of a great naval depot at League Island.

dor the Radical influence of Oberlin, he is
somewhat of a Conservative in his political
views, and in a letter to the faculty of

seemingly been a great favorite with General
Grant.

A Funny Afiatnke.
What happened When Mr. Jukitoit Left
the White, 1 loiter.
A Washington correspondent of The Sun
tells an amusing story or Uow, late on the
night of" March 4. a terrible ringing of the
hell of the White House was heard. Grant
wa at his private residence, and the ser
vants in charge were hadly scared. Still the
noise continued:
"Andy! lot, Andy! Op'n th' door!"
shouted the mysterious individual, working
away at the bill handic as if he were raking
a stove. A short silence ensued.
"Come, come, open the door, I tell ye!
Me'u Stuythe's out here an' its cold enough
to freeze a spirit level! "
A' this p. intone of the coachutan recog
nixed the voice and sprang for the door,
saying:
"Why, i's Dave—old ! 'nclc Dave! Vere,
open this door, some o' ye, d d quick!
Ten seconds of -uspen-e, an i the key was
turned in the lock, and the catch was
spiung. A heavy foot f title over the
threshold, and two hundred poumL of solid
ID Hi and overt oat toiled in the hail. The
ervani- ga to red about the mass in amaze
ment.
"Tom, h>. yon, Tom! S'tli-' gas bumin'
in my room? 'S Andy gone to bed? Con
t'oun' ye, why d'dn'n'ye op'n the door?
Didn'n' ye know I was fret zin* ?"
'Why, Uncle Dave," was the reply,
"didn't you kuow that to-day was Inaugura
tion day, arid that the President's left for
good. sod that General Grant runs the mill
now
1 ucle David unsteadily gazed at Tom for
a few seconds, and a meaning smile passed
over his face. "No, you don't" said b;
" wliat d'you take me for?" Then he
straightening himself up in au effort at dig
nity, and continued : "Thomas, be careful
how you joke with a United States Senator
and a son-in-law uv the President."
"Yes," answered Tom, "but you ain't a
Senator no more, ami he ain't a President
any longer. Don't I tell ye that Grant is a
rutmiii' th< mill?"
"What?" roared the ex-Senator from
T"nne—.:o. "and Andy'sgona! an' Gid, an'
Will, an' Aleck, an' Hugh'-y, an Orv., an'
all tho-e lively fellows —all gone! Well,
well, Weil!"
For one minute the speak r put his hand
to his forehead, then blew a long whistle,
rolled out on the corridor, and disappeared
among the trees lining the graveled walk to
the White Hou-e.
It was ex-Sen . or David T. Patterson, of
j Tennessee, who, in a fit of aht nee of mind,
j brought on by undue excitement attending
i the-inauguration, bad reeled to the Execu
1 nte Mansion, as in nights past, and de

A Democratic Stampede in Indiana.
The Democratic members of the Indiana
Legislature, on the 4tliiust., resigned in a
body, having only one or two Democratic
representative.- in each House, and each
House without a quorum. The reason a—
signed for this revolutionary and disgraceful
proceeding was to prevent a vote Icing
taken on the loth Amrndment to the Con

cratic reason," no doubt; ho - -til: one which
will hardly commend ir>elf to the calm
judgment of citizens who regard this as a
country of law.-; a country where the larger
numher of voters are supposed to control
legislation. These bolters, in their eff it
to defeat a just measure for the i stablish
uient of the equality of all citizens before
the law. interrupt setiou-lv the necessary
legislation of the State of Indiana. Nearly
all the important foils of the session had

S CATHARTIC PILLS,
for ALL THE PURPOSES OF A LAXATIVE
MEDICINE.
Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re
<[Hired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was
©ver aDy before so universally adapted into use,
in every country ahd among all classes, as this
mild but efficient purgative Pill. The obvious
reason is, that it is a more reliable and far more
effectual remedy than any other. Thn?e who have
used it, know that it cured them; th se who have
not, know that t eures their neighbors and friends,
and all know that what it does once it docs al
ways- -thit it never fails through any fault or
neglect of its composition. VVc have thousands
upon thousands of certificates of their remarkable
cures of the following complaints, but such cures
Are known in every neighborhood, and we need
not publish them Adapted to ail ages and con
ditions in all climates; containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, they may be taken with
safety by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves
I rhetn ever fresh and makes* them pleasant to take,
wnile being purely vegetable no harm can arise
from their u?e in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on the
internal viscera to purify the blood and stimulate
it into healthy action—remove the obstructions
of the stomach, bowels, liver, and other organs of
the body, restoring their irregular action to
health, and by correcting, wherever they exist,
uch dcrangemeuts as are the first origin of dis
ease.
Minute directions are given in the wrapper on
the box, for the following complaints, which these
Pills rapidly cure:
For Dyepepnin or Iwli'jettion, Li*tJe*aneie t Lan
>iuor and Lome of Appetite they should be taken

For Ihopxy and Dropniunl Sicelliugt they should

Bronchitis, Asthma, and
Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history of
medicine, ha# anything won 60 widely and so
deeply upon the confidence of mankind, a* this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaint*.
Through a Jong series of years, ana among mon
of ihe races of men it has risen higher aad higher
in their estimation, as it bits become better known.
Its uniform character aud power to cure the vari
ous affections of the lungs and throat, have made
it known as a reliable protector against tbem.
While adapted to milder forms of disease and to
young children, it if at the same tsuie the mast
effectual remedy that can be given for incipient
■ on:-umptioD. and the dangerous affections of the
threat and lungs. As a provision against sudden
attacks ofCloup, it should be kept oo hand in ev
ery family, and indeed as all are sometimes sub.
ject to colds and oughs, all should be provided
with this an idote for them.
Although settled consumption is thought incur
able, still great numbers of cases where the dia
ease teemed settled, have been completely cured
and the patient restored to sound health by the
Cherry Pectoral. So complete is its mastery over
the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that the
most obstinate of them yie!d to it. When nothing
el.se could reach them, under the Cherry Pectoral
they subside and disappear.
lingers and public speakers find great protec
tion ft oui it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cherry Pectoral in small and frequent doses.
So generally are its virtues known that we need
not publish the certificates of them here, or do
more than assure the public that its qualities are
fully maintained.
