THE " DADDY DID SO" AKUTI*
si BUT.
Our neighbor* of the Gazette have been
harping for several weeks on the fact that
Messrs. Russell, Barudollar, and Cline
voted for the insertion of the word
white in the Constitution of Pennsylvania
in the Convention of 1839. Thirty years
have made great changes. Human civili
zation has made vast strides in that time in
the way of progress. We have no doubt
that if those three very worthy gcutlemen
were living to-day and privileged to recoD
aider their act of thirty years ago tbey would
vote to day just as Stutzuian, LoDgenecktr
and Weller voted. Why less than ten years
ago these very scribblers for the Gazette
were crying aloud iu defence of slavery as a
divine institution. They have since then
defended and advocated the cause of one of
the most iniquitous rebellions that ever dis
graced the annals of Christendom. They arc
already heartily ashamed of both, though
but five years have elapsed. If they had
but for a moment considered their own
course they would not have been guilty of
the folly of making an appeal to an intelli
gent community against human rights and
human liberty, with no better argument
than that because the fathers erred their
sons should continue in the error. It is the
argument of a class of people who know no
reason for what they do and when asked
are only to ejaculate "Daddy did so." Tbir
ty years ago we travelled by coaches or on
horseback from Philadelphia to Pittsburgh
and the post was the most rapid means of
communicating even the most important
news. Thus did our fathers. Who start
ing iu a hurry to Philadelphia would think
of mounting his horse and spending a week
on the road now, if business of importance
required his presence there at the earliest
possible moment ? Would the Gazette scril -
biers do so? Verily they might and defend
the wisdom of their conduct with their un
answered "Daddy did so." If Business re
quired the instant transmission of intelli
gence to the remotest portions of the coun
try would they hastily indite a letter, seal it
with a wafer and send it by a messenger on
horseback ? Surely they might and quote
the example of "Daddy did so." Do the
Gentlemen of the Gazette expect to ignore
railroads, steamboats, telegraphs, revolu
tions in science, art, and politics, all the
progress of thirty years by the miserable ar
gument that "Daddy did so" ? Thirty years
ago the slave power wa lominant. To-day
it is utterly destroyed, and Liberty is the
watchword not only of the nation but of the
world. A new and bettor era has dawned
upon our nation. We are now living up to
the full enjoyment of Jefferson's id- J. when
he penned the glorious sentiments of tin
great Declaration of Independence. This is
a nation of FREE'SN. Awake ye sleepers!
cease to dream of the dark, dead past. The
sun of liberty has risen upon us, and a bet
ter day has dawned. Your Rip Van Win
kle sleep has bewildered your senses. Rub
your eyes and look around yon. Daddy's
old post chaise has become antiquated, hit
wooden mould-board plow has rotted in the
furrow, you need not go to seek it now, the
last vestago has long since disappeared and
like it the brutality and inhumanity of sla
very have disappeared from oTr statute
books forever. "Daddy did so" did not
save it nor will it bave you. The men who
voted for the Fifteenth Amendment will be
held in grateful reuicuilrauce when the i
memory of the slave-driver and all his lack
eys shall have rotted in oblivion.

have not access to a largo number of public
documents, and who could gain the informa
tion ooiy by .ong and laborious investigation.
There is a condensed account of the pro
ceedings of Congress including the Impeach
ment Trial, Reconstruction in the Southern
States, and other important matters: the
national debt at different periods; receipts

Events in 1868, and the Obituaries include
notices of 140 of the most eminent persons
deceased in 1868.
SUMNER'S speech on the Alabama Treaty
has created quite a sensation in England.
Unqualified condemnation is heard on every
aide, but no attempt to refute Sumner's ar
guments has yet been made. Our British
neighbors arc heartily sick of the ugly ques
tion of the Alabama claims, for they know
our claims are just and we have the power
to enforce thein, but they are loathe to ac
knowledge their wrong. After tbia bit of
bluster is over we shall soon have them ne
gotiating for a settlement; for while we can.
they canuot, afford to leave it an open ques
tion. Johnny Bull evidently has a pretty
large elephant on his hands just now.
THE latest newspaper sensation is the
outrageous conduct of the New York Sun in
publishing a garbled batch of private letters
purporting to have been written by John K.
Young of the New York Tribune. The act of
the Sun vras -imply outrageous and seems to
have been dictated by a spirit of pure mal
ice. Very damaging charges are brought
against Mr. Young for which he has
brought.-uit for libel against the editor of
the Sun, Mr. Dana, laying damages at
8100,000. Mr. Young has also pro-eeuted
the proprietor of the Philadelphia Press for
the publication of the same letters taken
from the Sun.
V. K are indebted to our member of the
Legislature J. 11. Longenccker Esq, for
copies of the Registry Act, and the Appro
priation Bill, the latter of which will receive
our attention as soon as we have time to
examine it. We think there urea num her
of items in it that will bear discussion not
only with advantage to the taxpayers but
also to the Republican party. Republican
ism is pledged to retrenchment and reform
and though much good and praiseworthy
work has already been done we think there
is still room for more.
* GENERAL ROSECKANS is intent on sig
nalizing his Mexican mission by the pur
chase of a little more land and writes home
lor a little more time to complete his negotia
tions with the Juarez Government. When
shall we cease to buy useless lands ? (Jan
wo not have an act of Congress to prohibit
wholesale purchases of real estate by the
government at least until we get our pres
ent indebtedness into a manageable shape.
Let u> have no more purchases until we are
out of debt. Perhaps ere that we may get
plenty without buying.
MR. CHARLES G. LELAND sails for Eu
rope to-day in the Pereire from this port.
He has retired we believe for awhile from
the labors of journalism, and purposes re
maining abroad one or two years at least.
The progenitor of Hans Brcitmann is sure
of a cordial reception in England; and whih
we shall regret the absence of a gentleman
who has reflected so much credit upon the
literary profession, it will be pleasant to
know that American humor and American
scholarship will both be honored abroad in
his person. Tribune.
IT is still rumored that the our Govern
cnent has determined to grant belligerent
rights to the struggling Cubans, hut the
report is considered premature. No fears
are entertained of any undue haste in the
matter. Though our people everywhere
In urtily sympathize with the revolution
there is no disposition to forget the rights of
-ister nations or to compromise the charac
ter and dignity of our own.
LATE reports from the Pacific Railroad
revi al an amount of deception, mismanage
ment and bad faith generally, that will verj
much abate the joy with which our peoph
would otherwise hail the completion of thi
gigantic enterprise. If renders pretty ct-r
tain what has already I ri strongly hiuted,
tlsat government should leave future roads
to the management of individuals and pri
vate enterprise.
SECRETARY BOLTVYELL still continues
his work of reform and retrenchment in the
Treasury Department. His work is already
beginning to tell. The forthcoming monthly
statement of the public debt will show a
largely increased reduction.
THE official Treasury statement shows a
lecrea.-e of the public debt, during April
of nearly six and a half millions. Of the
$24,<100,000 due for interest May Ist, up
wards ol $3,000,(XX) has been paid in ad
vanee.
TIIE Shippiiuiurg JVetcs recently burned
out a few weeks ago is again upon our tat le
perfectly restored. Its editor, D. K. Wag
tier Esq., deserves great credit for his ener
gy in revivifying it in so short a time.
THE Mexican Government has deter
mined to grant Cuba belligerent rights by
the decisive vote oflOO to 12.
THE Pennsylvania State Fair will be held
at Ikirrisburg this year, commencing on tbe

THE cotton mills in tbe I nited States arc
6,527 in number, running 7.5*5,082 spin
dies, and consuming 417,367,771 poueds ol
cotton per annum. This vivos to each mill
an average of 1,162 spindles, and a consump
tion of 63,945 pounds of cotton per annum.
The statistics, arranged acoord ng to the
great geographical divisions of the country,
are as follows. Northern States, 6,441 mill"-,
running 7,359,020 spindles, consuming 385,-
952,021 pounds of cotton annually. South
em States, 86 mills, running 226,062 spin
dles, consuming 31,415,75U pounds of coilon
annually. This gives to each of the mills in
the Northern States 1,142-pinoles, and an
annua! consumption of 59,921 pounds ol
cotton, and each of the mills in the South
ern State.- an average of 2 638 spindles, and
an annual consumption of 365,290 pound
of cotton. Tbe mills in the Southern
States, it will be perceived, arc large e-tab
lishments.
THE Pennsylvania Central is stretching
out its Biiar.an arms in all directions, and
what it caicbcs in its embrace it is likely to
hold. The Cincinnati Commercial is au
thority for the statement that with a view
to Southern business it has obtained con
trci of the railroad from Covington, oppo
site Cincinnati, to Louisville. This road
has not yet heen open to travel, but will be
in a week or two, as soon as some portions
of it arc ballasted. It reduces the distance
between Cincinnati and Louisville to one
hundred and four miles.
The Last Soldier of the Revolution.
A correspondent of the Warsaw Demo
crat announces the death of Daniel Fred
erick Beak man. the last survivor of the
Revolution, which took place at Sandusky,
Cattaraugus county, N. Y., on the morning
of April sth, 1869, at the green old ace of
100 years, being born in New Jersey about
1760. When a child, his parents emigrated
to the Mohawk Valley, where they lived
during the revolutionary war. Previous to
the skirmish or battle of Fort Plain, in 1778.
young Beukmao was enrolled in the militia,
and took pert in that battle —his first
service. At that time, being Dutch, and
not un-ler-ianding our language, he could
not tell whether he enlisted into the army
or not. He only remembered that his cap
tain's name was Yanarum. He was in the
sen ice several months as teamster. About
182 S. he became a reddent of what is now
the town of Arcane, Wyoming county, N.
Y. About 1845 he removed to the town of
Freedom, Catarangus county, where he has
since resided. His wife, with whom he has
lived over eightySve years, was two sears
his senior, and died six years ago, aged 105.
I n all applications for a pension, made b>
his friends jn his behalf, there was a failure
tor want of proof, until in February, 1867,
when a special act was passed by Congress,
allowing him, and Cray, of Ohio, SSOO per
annum. In religion Mr. Benkman was a
Lutheran; in politics a Democrat, voting
firs' for Washington, and at all Presidential
elections since, voting a Democratic ticket
—except last fall, when he was converted,
and voted for General Grant. His two
eldest sons died a few months ago, over
eighty years of age; several of his children
arc now living. His descendants of the
fourth and fifth generations are numerous.
Can IVomen Keep a Secret!
George Francis Train readers judgment a
follows; Men say women c.iu't keep a secret.
It is just the rever.-e-women can, men
can't. Women carry with them to their
craves secrets that would kill any man.
Woman never tells; man always does.
\V onian suffers and dies; man blabs and
lives. Man cannot keep a secret; woman
cannot make it known. What is sport to
the man is death to the woman. Adam was
a sneik. Eve would have kept the apple
secret. Be ye fruitful. Whoever heard a
woman talk about her love fiascos? Every
body has heard a man gossip. Man de
lights in tefing of his illicit conquests;
woman would cut out her tongue first.
Men are coarse iu their club room talk;
women refined in their parlor conversation-
Mho I'ver heard of a woman telling of her
lovers? \\ ho has not listened to the dis
sipation of the men? Men boast; women
don't. Women never tell tales out of
school; men ure always babbling. So down
with another old adage. Woman cant keep
a secret.
COMPETITIVE EXAMINATIONS. —John
Stuart Mill, the celebrated Eneli.-h author
of works on political economy, has recently
written a letter on thesuhjeet of Competitive
Examinations, as applied to the civil service
in the United States. Ho says: "I have
long thought that the appointments to
nffice, without regard to qualifications, are
the worst side of American instiiurions; (he
main cause of what is justly complained cf
in their practical operation, and the principal
hindrance to the correction of what is amiss,
as well as a cause of ill repute to demo
oratic institutions all over the world. Il
appointments wore given, not by political
influence, but by opeu competition, the
practice of turning out the holders of office
at every change in politics, in order to re
ward partisans, would necessarily cease, end
with it nearly all the corruption and the
la-gor half of the virulauce of mere party
conflict.
DISTRESSING CASE. —Some months ago
the daughter of a Mr. Boliins, who live
near Lin,sing. Mich., was suddenly afflicted
with toothache, and despite all efforts to
<-fleet a remedy, the evil increased, until
me night the little one awoke with a pierc
ing scream, holding the bad tooth in her
hand. The pain continued, however, and.
looking for the cavity in the gum, a swell
nig, looking liken large boil, appeared there,
he thing having grown until it had pu-h'd
the tooth out of its socket From that
time tHe swelling gradually but surely in
•l eased its s /,e. Medical ixauiiuaUon -how
■d it to be a cancer, aud every effort by
lance and otherwise, to prevent its growth
had been unavailing. Some time since h<■
little one's mouth was so nearly filled with
it, that she had to push her food to her
throat with her fingers, and a few days
once, the air-pipes being closed by the
iliominable excrescence, she smothered to
death.

TIJE Supreme Court of the United Sta'E
hairen i.r d the following decision in the
case of Ellen Kellc-y vs. Edwaid Owens, on
appeal from the Supreme Court of the Die
trict of Columbia, to wit: That any alien
white wotuao married to a citizen of the
United States is a citizen under the act of
lOtli February, 1555, which is in the follow
ing language: "Any woman who might
lawfully be naturalized under exi-ting laws,
mairied. or who shall he married to a citi
zen of the United States, shall be deemed
iod taken to be a citizen of the United
"Mate-." There has hitherto been a grea<
diversity of opinion as to the construction
of the above act by the lawyers of the coun
try, but the above decision settles the mat
ter beyond controversy.
JOHN P. IIAI.E, in compliance with the
vflent. if not plainly expre-s d wish of the
State Department, has re-igned the Span
sh mission. Mr. Sanlord, at present mio
i ter to Belgium, was nominated by tin
Pie-ident a- llale's successor, but the Sen
•t-t tabled the nomination, which is almost
equivalent to a rejection. It is rumored
that the President will give the appoint
ment to General Sickles, who will be com
mi-ion d in accordance gith the provisions
of the amended civil tenure act. Mr. Hal<
denies the charge of smuggling which has
ken made against him, and Cor the honor
"f the country as well as his own, we hop
he may be able_ to successfully vindicate
himself. There is at present an almost
universal belief that he is guilty.
LEBANON COUNTY ITEMS. —.l Flash of
Light from a Cloudiest Shy.—A few week*
ago, a* several gentlemen were engaged in
conversation, at the residence of a friend in
the eastern part of Lebanon county, tbev
were startled, about ten o'clock at night, by
a udlen flash of lisrht, whieh brilliant 1 v
illumiuated the house and surrounding ob
jects. Supposing that a storrn was coining
on, one of the gentlemen stepped to the
door, but not a cloud could be seen nor any
object ftom which the light conld have pro
ceeded. The only solution of the phenome
non which they could arrive at, was that a
very large and brihtant uieteor had passed
athwart the heavens, and caused the sudden
and startling phenomenon.
THE Coolies introduced into the British
West India Colonies during JB6B. according
to Parliamentary return ju-t publi-he<f
in England, amounted in number to 3,00]
persons, of whom 1,367 weut to Trinidad,
and 1,634 into British Guiana. Since 1843
there have been 207,02*3 immigrants intro
duced into the British West Indies, and
341,205 into the island of Mauritius. Dur
ing the same period, over 100,000 have re
turned from the colonies mentioned to their
nativo countries.
A SHREWD but unenlightened school di

say the Cable dispatches from London.
THE most important piece of news of the
week in relation to Cuban affairs is that of
the Mexican Congress having authorized
President Juar. z to recognize the Cuban in
surgents as belligerents whenever he thinks
proper. Vessels bearing the Cuban flag are
admitted into the ports of Mexico.
THE Bostonians have got up a petition to
the president in favor of the appointment of
Frederick Douglas a* minister to !!■ azii. If
he should be sent to the Court of Don Pe

REGOARS —The fact that there nro no
liehrew, as there are no Quaker beggars, is
owing to tho peculiar and systematic ar
rangements made by these sees for taking
ore of their poor. Each Jewish Synagogue
has a committee of the most respectable
members, wlnwe business it is to become
acquainted with the condition of every He
brew in their district, and if necessary, to
afford assistance. The aged are pensioned,
and the disabled placed in hospitals or fur
nished with regular relief.
THE NEW NICKF.L COINS.— 'The denom

three and fite cents, and they are to be
composed of one-fourth nickel and three
fourths copper. The one cent coin is to
weigh a grain and a-half, and will he about
the *ize of a five cent silver coin. The three
and five cent pieces are to be about the size
of the one and two cent coppers now in use,
and will weigh respectively three and five
grains. The new coin is to be a legal ten

THE Spaniel Cortes, by a large majority,

tution which provide for liberty of the press,
Ireedoni of meeting and association, and the
right of petition. All the liberal move
luents which took place in Europe in 1848
tiroelaitned tbese liberties, and. whenever
they had the power, established thetu. But
the reaction which has since swept over Eu
rope has destroyed again in most States the
fru't of the revolution of 1848, and, out-ide
of England, Switz-rlaiad, Belgium and Hot
land, there are now few countries in Europe
which really enjoy thern. Spain will there
lore rank in this respect among the freest
nations of Europe, if the Constitution should
ever be carried out.

S CATHARTIC PILLS,
FOR ALL THE PURPOSES OF A LAXATIVE
MEDICINE.
Perhaps no one medicine is so universally re
quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor "was
ever any before so universally adopted in'o use
in every country and among all classes, as this
mild but efficient purgative Pill. Jhe obvious
reason is, that it is a more reliable and far more
effectual remedy than any other. Those who have
used it, know that it cured them: those who have
not, know that it cures their neighbors and friends,
and all know that what it does once it does al
ways—that it never fails through any fault or
neglect of its composition. We 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 all ages and con
ditions in all climates; containing neither calomel
nor any deleterious drug, they may be taken with
safety by anybody. Their sugarcoating preserves
them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to take,
while being purely vegetable no harm can arise
from their use io 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 if
the body, restoring their irregular action to
health, and by correcting, wherever they exist,
uch derangemeuts as are the first origin of di
sase.
Minute directions are giveu in the wrapper on
the box, for the following coinplaiut*, which these
Pills rapidly cure:
For Dyspepsia or Indigestion, Listlessness, Lan
'juor and Los of Appetite. they should betaken
moderately to stimul.-te the stomach and restore
its berlthy tone end action.
Fo- Liver Complaint and its various symptoms.
Bil'ous Headache. Sick Headache, Jaundice or
Green Sickness, Bilious Colic and Bilious Fevers,
they should be judiciously taken for each > ase, to
correct the diseased action or remove the obstruc
tions which cause it
For Dysentery or Diarrhar, but one mild dose
is generally required.
For Rheumatism, Gout, Gravel, Palpitation of
the Heart, Pain in the Side, Rack aud Loin- , they
should be continuously taken, as required, to
change the diseased action of the system. With
irrophent tsiketttngs tney snould
he taken in large and frequent doses to produce
the effect of a drastic purge.
For Suppressions a large dose should be taken
as it produces the desired effect by sympathy.
As a Dinner Pill, take one or two Pills to pro
mote digestion and relieve the stomach.
An occasional dose stimulates the stomach and
bowels into healthy action, restores the appetite,
and invigorates the system. Hence it is often ad
vantageous where no serious derangement exists.
One who feels tolerably well, often finds that a
dose of these pills makes him feel decidedly bet
ter, from tbeir cleansing and renovating effect on
the digestive apparatus.
