z JU Caiubria jTmmau, GDSiTSBURG, 1A. SATtBtAT MoHswa, : : Dec. 23, 1871. A Bill passed th lower branch of Con. grws last wetk fixing the ratio of ropresent atlon uneUr the lata census at 137.000 and the number of mombers at 288. TLo pru. ent number is 241. Under this bill Penn jlrania will be entitled to 26 members, being an incrcate of tico. The New EDg laDd States lose two members. The r6pre sentatien from the Western and Southern 8tates will be largely Increased. The gain In the former is owing to the rapid Increase in population, while In tho Southern States it arises from tho fact that since slavery has been abolished nil the nogrocs are enumera ted in determining the ratio, whereas under the old mode of apportionment only ihree fflhs of the bUvcj wert entitled to repre-aeutatioo. A. T. Akisman, of Qjorgia, who was a member of the military stuff of the rebel Gau. Robert Toombs, and who, for the last year, has betn attempting in his own pecu liar way to discharge the duties of Attorney General under Grant's administration, has resigned bis office, and Gjore II. Williams, of Oregon, has been appointed his successor. How it ever happened that Akerman was appointed is as mysterious as some other of G ant's cabinet selections, aud like them.has proved a conspicuous failure. So utterly incompetent was he for an intelligent dis charge of the duties of the position, that the Jaigea of the Supreme Court made no secret of proclaiming his entire unfitness for the office. How wide and impassable is the gulf between him and former Attorney Gen erals such men for Instance as John J. Crittenden, Caleb dishing. Jeremiah S. Black, and William Evarts. Whatever may hare been AVerman's feelings towards tho people of the Sonth when he emerged from his obscurity in Georgia, his official career has shown him to be thsir sworn and relent less enemy. His campaign in the Suuth during a portion of last summer, preparato ry to the enforcement of the Ku-klux law, showed that he entertained no sense of the dignity of his cflice, and that to stand well with Grant he was willing to degrade him self into a mere spy and bumbaliff for the administration. Ho woik was too dirty for birn, and no trick was regarded as too low to encompass his malignant purpose. Ho came into cffi;e without any reputation and he learta it with universal contempt. It is to be hoped that we will not look upon Lis like again at the head of tho law department of the governm-eat. Constitutional Amendments. Since the present session of Congress com menced several joint resolutions have been offered proposing amendments to the con etitation. General Morgan, a democratic member from Ohio, has submitted au amend ment which, if it passes Congress by a two third vote and is subsequently adopted by the Legislatures of three-fourths of the States, will render citizens of foreign birth eligible to the office of President. Thra proposed amendment has very recently been fully dis cussed by the newspaper press of the coun try, and so far as the dimocratie journahs are concerned, has met with an unqualified en dorsement. As the law now stands a negro, Frederick Douglass fur example, can be efeeted to the highest tffice in the gift of the people, while certain white men of Intelli gence and culture, such as Carl Schurz and Richard O'Gortnan, are Ineligible for the reason that the one- was born in Germany and the ether in Ireland. Tho negro being the superior of the white man ra this respect, it would seem to be nothing more than sim ple justice to place the latter on a constitu tional equality with the former, especially since the reasons which iLfiuencad the fram ere cf the constitution to insert iu it the pro hibition against foreigners have long since passed away, or ceased to have any force. It is supposed by some that this change in the fundamental law is especially intended to open the way for Gen. Schurz to become a candidate for the Presidency, not in 1872, but at some future period. We do not re gard it In that light, but simply as a recog nition of the constitutional right of any citi een, without regard to nationality, to aspire to the highest office to tho republic. As to either a negro or a foreigner ever being elect ed to the Presidency, we think the child is yet to be born who will live to sea such a political event take place ; but as equality of political rights is now the Alpha and Omega of American legislation, the adoption of this amendment is called for on the ground rf consistency, if for no other reason, and we trust that Congress will pass it and submit ft to the several State Legislatures for their ratification or rejection. Another jjiut resolatlon has been offered by Mr. Totter, a democratic member from New York, proposing an amendment ex tending the Presidential term to six years and forbidding a re-election. This question has been agitated and discussed almost from the commencement of the government Washington in his farewell address, and Cert. Jackson in a similar paper, took strong and decided ground in favor of the one term principle, and the subsequent experience of the country has poved the wudom of their viewe en the qoestfon. It may safely be af firmed that public opinion in favor of the doctrine anaotints now to almost unanimity The re-election of a President is the most fruitful source of corruption in our national politics, for the obvious reason that his first terra, ia entirely devoted to securing his nom ination and olectloo to a second. The dU gracel hfctory of Grant's administration, and" the prostitution of his office to bring about his re-Domination, are frresistibl ar. gumenU in favor of this limitation cf the Presidential terra and ought to secure its adoption by every State in the Union. Zvn Grant himself, two days before his nomina tion at Chicago, declared it to be his convic tion "that the liberties of this country could not be mnintained without a one-term amendment to the constitution and such a civil service bill as would. enable the Presi dent to retain good men in office.'7 Only a few days ago, when Mr. Trumbull offered a resolution in the Senate for the appointment of a committee to make a thorough invssti gation into the management of the different departments of the government, it was re sisted by Grant's henchmen in that bedy distinctly on the giound that it would injure him and prevent his re-nomination thus avowing the shameless doctrine that frand and corruption must not be unearthed and exposed, si li ply because it might interfere with the President'! chances fur a re-election. The constitution of the Confederate States contained a provision precisely similar to the amendment of Mr. Potter, and if rreking and wide-spread corruption is to be checked and au approach to honesty aud purity in the government ia to be inaugurated, it is imperatively necessary that we bhould copy their wise and salutary example. Pistol Its Court. On the day of the last election in Phila delphia a negro named Jacob Gordon was shot with a pistol, from the effects of which he died. Edward McNulty, a white mm, was arrested for the homicide, and at his trial, a bhort time ago, was acquitted, the evidence failing to prove his guilt. During the progress of the trial Peter Truitt, a col ored man, was called as a witness by the commonwealth, and in answer to a question on cross examination stated as follows: "1 am armed now ; I have a revolver now; the- first time I put it in my pocket teas this morn ing ; il is loaded and cajiped." After Truitt had made this btatement the following col ic qny took place between Wm. B. Mann, the District Attorney, Mr. Cassidy, the coucstl for the prisouer, and Judge Allison : Mr. Mann. I hare frequently given direc tions to t'ueso men to carry arms to protect tseinsolres. Ur. Cassidy. You had no right to do so, aud jon should te indicted (or it. Mr. Miinn. I had the right. Mr. 08661117. Only that of a private citizen to lecoromerd; jourofioe as District Attorney gare you no right to authorize the carrying of a pistol. Judge Allison. Tn view of the recent occur rences in that neighborhood, tho colored men won'.d be justified in ciirryinj; a pistol. Mr. Cassidy. That is oiAy your Honor's opinion. Judge Allison. Aud I shall so instruct the jury without reference to Mr. Cassidy, or lb opinion of anvbodr elso. Mr. Cassidy. Of course, I cannot have nny dispute with ronr Honor ur.ou this sujtict. bat I submit that when that cae-e comes before job rudicialiv Toa will oaaa anon it. i Judge Allison. I say that I shall instruct the jury to that effect. Mr. Cnpsidy. Of course, I knew my place as a member of this Bar, and I do not propose to enter into a controversy with your Honor, but you will appreciate that I would be doin less than hit duty to mv client if I did not ob ject to this. The doctrine above announced by Judge Allison is as unprecedented as it is alarming, and is well calculated td arrest tho most se rious attention. It is the first time that a judge in inis State naa declared it to be tfce legal right of any nan, whether black or white, to carry a loaded revolver on his per son, and that too in the very presence of the Court. It is a monstrous doctrine, and, if sanctioned by onr couTts, vroald lead to the mofct deplorable result;. It is false in law, utterly subversive of the peace and good order of society, and would lead to a fcaifal development of crimo. It would te a war rant for every ignorant and lawless negro in Philadelphia to tale the life of a white man for any real or anticipated danger. When Judge Allison declared that "the colored men would be justified in carrying a pistol,"' he knew that there is an Act of Assembly iu force, psssed in 1850, which declares that 'any person within the limits of the city add county of Philadelphia who shall carry any firearms, slung ehot, or other deadly weapons concealed upon his person, with the intent therewith unlawfully and maliciously to do injury to any other person, shall be deenaad guilty of a misdemeanor, and on conviction thereof, shall be imprisoned," etc., and that the jury trying the case mat infer a n unlawful and malicious intent from tho fact of carrying such weapons concealed upon the person. This ia the written law, and is explicit and directly to the point, but Judgo Allison and the District Attorney both Ignore it and confer upon the bully and the rufllan an unlimited license to gratify their brutal instinets. Such extra judicial and mischievous advice to ignorant and worthless negroes would create a war of races and lead to the most frightful scenes of riot and disorder. It has often been said of Joseph Allison, that he is a partisan on the bench aud that his judicial learning is of the mot ordinary character. On the occasion referred to he plainly disgraced his high po sition and proved himself eminently unfit to hold it. Better judges have been impeached for far less cause an 1 driven from an office they were unworthy to 611. Bc3inbs3 Meeting of the Pensetlta kia EniToniAi, Association. The regular annual business meeting t.f the Editorial As sociation of Pennsylvania will be held in tho State Capitol at Harrisburg on Thursday January 25th. 1872, at ll o'clock A. M.' The excursion of the Association last June drew together over a hundred cf tho editors of this State, many of whom were acconv. panie-d by their wives and daughters, and the occasion was full of pleasure. This was the largest gathering of editors ever had in Pennsylvania, but it elid not embrace one half tha fraternity. The next Summer tx cursion will no doubt be much more largely attended. The business meetings of the As sociation, which have been too much ne glected heretofore, will, we hope, be much more largely attended than they have hith erto been. They can be made occasions of decided pre fit as well as of pleasures. EJU tors who have not connected themselves with the Association are cordially invited to be present and enroll their names at the com ing business meeting, and all who favor the purposes vf the Association will aid it by makinjr a note of the time and place of meet ing We hope to see a very full assemblage of the editors of the State in Harrisburg at the time appointed. Lm- Inidligencer, ! Letter from Ireland--So. 6. Correspondence of Cambria Freeman.J KlLLALOE, ISELASD, DfC. 1, 1871. Dear Mac I wrote and mailed my last in such a hurry that I hardly know where I laft off, and I never copy my letters, but I think I finished with Senates, the Tuikish lady, &c. As I havo said, Scatiery IsK aud' was call i the Iland of War, on account of the many fiarce battles fought on it be tween the Danes and the Irish. History tells us that in the year 968 Brian Brchme (Boru.) aided by his powerful gallowglaases defeated the Danes in a battie fought on this island. Some years ago. I am told, persons found human skulls, bones, etc., and others swords, tkians, battle-axes, etc., while exca vating for the foundations of houses. On this iiland is a fortified battery, whose huge cannon ara faced towards the mouth of the Shannon. Within tho last couple of years there has besu a splendid iight-houao built on the west sid of the island. The river Shannon, between Kilrush and Ca'dvlonaford. is nine vuiies wide. In fact. it leeks more like a sea than a river from this point till it flows into the Atlantic. Leaving; Scattery Island, we pulled towards Kilrubh. This town can boast cf as mag nificent a Catholic church as tbera is to be found Ia the south of Ireland. It has two stained glass windows that cost upwards of five thousand dollar; its ceilings are gor geously decorated ; the Bweet-toced bell in in its lofty tower has often boen heard at a distance of nine miles. ISeur the church stands on au eraicei;c a beautiful convent with chapels aud schools attached, nearly ail built with cut stone, an ! the whole form ing a costly and lich building, tledicated to religion and education, such m would reflect credit on a larger and wealthier community. I was shown through the whole of it by the very courteous and intelligent Mother Su perior, whose sweet, benign looking counte nance, was only a rtfiex of the pure virtue aod modesty within. There was such an air of cleanliness, comfort and cheerfulness i abut every person and on overythicg arounu, tu;U l could wisn, only lor my being if the rough persuasion, never to leave sueh a happy and contented spot. Within eight miles of Kilrush is the cele brated wateting-place, Kilkee, which I In tended visiting, but I wa3 told that so late in the season I would not fiud it interesting, as all the visitors gsrerally leave by the end of October. On the morning ef the 16th cf l November I lock my seat on the outside of I a mail coach, and started for Eunis, a dis j Unco of 21 Irish miles, aud indeed it was a; j cold, una dreary a drive as I ever experienced, j Tho mcfct of the way is one succession rf hills and hollows and poor, cold lookiog land, with au occasional farmer's house ris ing ur herr and there to relieve the dull j monotony cf tho scene. After having eigh i teen miles of our cheerless drive over us, we came in bight of Eden Vale, a beautiful resi dence and demesne owned by a Captain Stackpool. -Didn't I tell you?" said the good-humored jafvey, "that We'd soon come to some uic place. Lrok rgain," said he, "at that big thing over there." Said IVbat is that '? "That, sir, is one of the great ould Brian Horn's toothpicks." I had to laugh loud and long. Ihe " tooth uidc" was noth- iug lead than a sm?il pyramid about ten feet hih, built of the closest and most solid stone masonry. I certainly did not thick that the gocd old King Brian had such a large month aud strong jiw as to use that Ijt a toothpick. In a few minutes after we found curseiYes entering and indeed I felt relieved when I j'imped off tho "mail" and was shown Carmody's hotel. This town has a population of over ten thousand. Tha widest street in it is not near so wide as Ciinton 6treet, Johnstown, and still it can boast of some very fine build inge and a most fashionable and enterprising people. It has a grand church, convent, schools, banks, asylum, court house, gaol, etc. O'Connel Square ia adorned by a splen did atatna of the Liberator. It stands seven ty feet high, and can be ecen as one ap- proaches from any side cf the town. It was the people of Eanis, aided by the other towns of Clare county, that first stntO'Con ne!l to Pariument. This, at that time, was considered a great victory as he was the first Iriah Catholic that sat in the London House of Commons for a period cf over two hun dred years. Near Ennis is the old ruined QUIXN ABBEY in the midst of hundreds of graves contsin ing the athes of warriors and heroes whose lives form some bright and daik pages in Irish history. Hero sleeps all that was mor tal of the bold, daring aud keen-eyed "Fire ball McNamara," whose name about forty years ago was sufficient to scare the aristo cratic snobs who delighted in insulting those they considered beneath them in society. It was "Fireball" who was O'Conneli's second when he was forced to fight a dnel with Westarre, and which resulted in the death of the latter. "Fireball" never traveled without a case of pistols, which he called "lhas gon-soggarth," ("death without a priest,") for any one foolhardy enough to challenge birn to a duel was cure to die without having time to call for priest or par son. Leaving Quinn Abbey, I took tho evening train for Limerick, but only changed cars for CASTIECTONNKI.!, which is within six miles of Limerick. The ohl Castle from which this town Ukes its name is aow one crumbling mass of ruins. Hifctory tells us that it was here the soldiers of the cowardly King James took shelter after the battle of the Boyne, when they were pursued by the tired soldiers of Orange William, who set the Catle on fire. At the lower end of the town is a celebrated health-giving spa, where people resort in the summer season to partakoof its invigoraliug effects. Passing over the river ia a email skiff, I went to see the WATERFALLS OF DOONAB, which certainly is a sight so awfully grand that one must see it to understand or appre ciate it properly. It is a Niagara on a stuall seale. Tho waters ramble, roar and tumble down a height of about one hundred fuet, sweeping all before them in their wild ruh over huge rocky boulders, making such a continual, deafening uoieo as can only be equalled by the crashing conflict of heaven's elemental artillery. A good many years ago I could not learn how long a bridal party went pleasuring on the Tiver. Ven turing too near the falls, Lord and Lady M&ssey, the bride and bridegroom, were swept over tho roaring, seething waters and dashed like corks agrunst the beating rocks in the awful deep beneath. After viewing the stately mansions of Sir Richard De Burgo and Lord Power and Massey, I hurried back to Castleeonnell, where I ticketed my precious person, for very ANCIEKT KILLAI.OE, which is Luiit like au amphitheatre on the side of a sloping hill. This town, for the eiee of it, has more historical reminiscences emblazoned on the page of the past than any towu in Ireland. It takes its name from Lia. or Molua, who built in the year 615 the old church which is cow a Protestant cathedral, and about which I will have more to say hereafter. Stepping out of the' steam car at the Bailina side, you cross over a bridge of nineteen arches which conneets Clare and Tipperary counties. To the Uft, on au emiuviice cvitniaiidiDg a rich and varied view, ia the grand palatial residence of the Catholic Bihop of tho diocese of Kil lalce. It was erected about four years ago by the priests of tho diocese, not for any particular Bishop, but as an episcopal resi dence for all future Bishops who may gov ern the Killalce diocese. Here fur the present I will drop scenery and description and mako a passing allusion to the almest total absence of manufactures in this neighborhood, which affords such unbounded facilities. It is sad to witness the ceaseless flow of such an expansive sheet of water uader these old arches and none to turn its current into a golden channel by the ertction cf a rolling mill, saw or planing mill, aud thus checking tho great emigration which ii fast depopulating a country as well adapted for manufactures as any hind uuder the sun. There is no manufacturing em ployment whatever, except a small woolen factory on the northern bank rf the river. Yet this is not tho fault of the Irish people, but is to be laid at the door of the blighting curse of English misrulers who pass such tyrannical laws as must drive men of capi tal out cf Ireland. Think of a river 250 miles in length ami only abont a ha!f dozen woolen and spiuning factories to be seen from its source to its mouth ! Truly it is no wonder that my follow countrymeu flwe, not the country, bat the laws, and seek a home beyond tha Atlantic, where labor and skill are amply rewarded and honest manhood fully reppected. But mere of this at some future time. The weather here just now 13 wet and chilly, bnt still I get an occasional fioe hour to stroll around in qnest of antiquarian lore and other genial tubjects. Iu ray next I will describe Kincora, its chnrcliej, and part of Tippeiary. Yours, very truly, EaiOHjlCii. Two BILLS have been introduced into Corjgrcss by Hon. R. M. Speer, the member from this district, on the subject of pen sions. As they ate of peculiar interest to our soldiers, we publish them entire and di rect attention thereto. We do not profess to be familiar with the pentiou laws as they now exist, but it is plain, from reading these bills of Mr. Speer, that his object is to correct certain defects in the existing laws which are productive cf great injustice, especi.tlly as regards ihe time when the payment cf a par ticular class cf pensions thall commence. The bill aro biief and will readily be under stood by those who aie interested in the subject.

The Erie Dispatch contains a notice of the death of General Charles M. Iieed, which took place in that city on Saturday last. General Reed was a member of the State legislature in 1837 and 1838, and in 18-10 was elected to congress, in which body he terved for one term. lie was long identified with important enterprises In the northwest ern portion of the State. Ilia age was sixty nine and his wealth six millions. - Our Omaha exchanges furnish some interesting particulars of the effects of the cold weather recently experienced in the far West. In Nebraska, the cold has been in tense and protracted, and the suffering On precedently severe. Large numbers of per sous were frozsu to death, in one instance a whole family perishing from exposure. They were out of fuel of every kind, and the man started for the timber to obtain some, and froze to death beside his team. The woman burned everything she could find to burn, and finally placing her iufant in the oven of the stove burned a part of her own clothing to prevent it from freezing, but without avail. After all, however, the poor babe was frozen to death as well as the polhec Scrcfwlcns lieau. The Scrofulous diathesis has a wide range of development, feuch as eruptions of the skin, rfftctions of tho eyes, nose, ears, and ulcers on different parts e-f the body, caties of the boues, caucerous affections, and sffLc tions of mucus surfaces, &c. But the most common form is that cf glandular afljetious, or swelling, enlarge ment and final suppuration of the giauds of tbo body. It is truly a loathsome and troublesome disease, and we should always regard with the greatest suspicion tho enlargement or in duration of any gland, or the formation cf any tumors ou any part of the body, and from the very earliest period of iis existence use our utmost exertion to pruvent its fur ther increase or extcntiou, and to remove it as soon as possible. Fortunately for those 'a boring under this class of diseases, the prortrs e f sciei.ee fa vors us with the means of detecting this pe culiar state of the blood, as well as furnih iug us with the remedies for completing a cure, when a cure is at all to bo had. In the urine of scrofulous subjects there is a peculiar" substance called C'jsttns. which essentially characterizes this diacate fiom all others, aud there cannot, in any case, be a complste cure tfiicted but by the remedies which favor a removal of this substance. Whatever will arrest roost speedily the contaminating virus of scrofula, will reduce most readily the tumors, cr heal up most quickly the ulcers. We have cured many very bad cases of this terribly annoying and loathsome disease. One of the very worst case3 we ever saw was from an adjoining county. lie was cured la a few months and is now well. Several bad ensos in this city, a number in Allegheny city, and some from nearly all the surrounding counties have beeu cuied of ona or another fc-rm of this inveterate disease by our remedies and treatment. If you have scrofula, or a scrofulous dia thesis, white swelling, caucus bones, running ulcers, tumors, eruptions, dischargers from the ear, uose ur eyes, of enlargement of the glands, send for the remedies thus scientifi caliy prescribed, and have a complete cure eS'ectcd, as hundred of others have done.

The hoarseness and sore throat peculiar to some kinds of consumption is one thing, while that incident to a slight cold or ob struction is another; the Srst-uamed i3 fcr the most part dangsrous, and is the product of a fsarful and wide-spread disease ; whilst the latter, being merely an obstruction, C3n be removed by a few doses cf medicine cf deobstruent properties. Or.e need hardly be mistaken for tho other, as the great constitu tional disturbance in that of a consumptive person will readily distinguish them. It would be the part of wisdom, however, to treat them both when they are first percept ible, as a great deal is gained iu taking the vantage ground in all pnch cses. DR.
