Frijitek's Circular We should bave
rt ticed ere this the elegant improvements
recently roaile in this beautiful and to the
trait exceedingly useful monthly. It is pub
lished in Philadelphia by K. S. Menamin.
Eq., a genilrman wliohas endeared himself
to tho editorial fraternity of this by his en
rty. courtesy and generous efforts in their
behalf.
Thf meeting of ihe anti Giant RepublN
cans, which was held at Cooper Institute, In
the city of New York, a week ago last night,
was an immense affair, and is represented as
having been by far the largest political gath
ering that has assembled in that city since
the close of the war. The President of the
meeting was F. A. C inkling, a brother of
Kofcoe C-mkliiig. a lUdical Uuitid States
Henator from New Yoik and Grant's prin-.
cipal herchman in that body. The meetirg
whs addressed by Senator Trumbull, f f Il
linois. Senator Schuiz. of Missouri, and lior
i.ce Greeley. This meeting, so imposing in
numbers and so determined in spirit, is the
iatal handwriting on the wall intended for
ti.e sphinx who now sits in the White House.
H'e rftr our readers to the.comments of the
New York World oa this monster demonstra
tion, to be fouud in another column.
After the almost numberless instances
r.f usurpation of power by Congress during
the last seven years, any freh demonstra
tion in that line wuuld not be a matter of
much surprise. We can scarcely, however,
credit the statement wbich of late has been
made in several papers, that it seriously
proposes to assume the prerogative of our
own State Legislature and pass a bill divid
ing the State into Congressional districts.
This may only be used as a threat to compel
Geary te sign the Apportionment bill passed
by the Legislature, which he has said be
would not approve until after the October
flection, and he did not know that be would
even do it then. Although such a power has
never been exercised by any Congress, and
although there is co shadow of warrant for
it in the constitution, yet if it were done
under the convenient and stereotyped plea
of necessity, so accustomed has the radical
party become to uphold the acts of a loyal
Cungrt-HS that its newspapers would at ouoe
see the great propriety f such an exercise
of its powers and woald defend it against all
assaults.
TheLCal Option experiment has net
with a sudden back set. The Legislature
precceding the last passed an act authorizing
the qualified voters of Shippensbnrg, in
Cumberland couuty, to decide the question
of licensing hotels in that borough, at a spe
rial electlou held for that purpose. The anti-
license party prevailed by a very large ma
j iity. The questiou in some way came be
lore the Cwurt of Common Tleas of Cumber
lacd ceunty at Carlisle on the 9th instant,
when the l'resideut Judge (Juukin) decided
the law to be unconstitutional, and licenses
were granted as if no such law was in rx
istence. The Judge who delivered this opin
ion is a radical of the most Orthodox stamp.
aud was elected last October over the regu.
Jar democrat candidate in a democratic dis
trict. This decision camot, therefore, be
attribute,!, as it otherwise would be, to dem
ccratic whisky. The constitutionality ef the
local optiou law will eventually have to be
determined by the Supreme Court of the
State, the character tf whose decision m v
be anticipated, we think, from what has roue
l-eioie.
Amicq the proceedings of the late Radi
cal State Cobventien were the following:
lr. kwiDg (Washington) moTed to amend
ihe npoit b adiiiug a resolution requesting
our representatives in c.mj;re to favor the
pns.aee or a law ivuij; gei.eral an.nesty to
jrwna pMriicipaurg m io laie rebellieu.
Il'iies ol "No! lie!" "Send it to the com
miitee '"
The chair said the resolution was in orJer
as nn ameti.inient to the report.
Mr. twii g na"iJ he was a northern man, but
he IihiI simpdthy lor the southern people, and
lelieved that a general amiirstv is demanded
and would i c fleet credit upon the adminisira
lion ot General (Jiant
(!ei,erl Albright protested sgainst the reso-luti-m.
I Crie of "all right"" we'll vote it down."
1 he vole was .aken on the amendment, ana
it was lot bj an ovei w helming majority.
It was a saying among the ancients that
"wbem the gods with to destroy they fiist
make mad," and from the perfect yell of de
light with which the defeat of this amnesty
revolution was received by the offi e holders
and ring convention, it is very evident that
f adicalum, in the insolence of its power, is
fatally bent on its own swift destruction.
A demand has gone up from all parts of
the country, the negroes of the South being
the pioneers in the movement, asking far
general amnesty, but the radical Dourbons
in Congress have turned a deaf ear to it and
are governed by the base and ignoble feeling
of hate.
Horace Greeley said, three years ago, that
it ids party did not extend amnesty te
every man in the State, their sens, who could
rot be sflVcted by disabling acts of legisla
tion and who were fa6t arriviug at the legal
age of voters, would sweep the radical party
out ol existence in all the Southern States.
His prediction is being very tapidly fulfilled.
If the radicals of this State think they
can strengthen themselves by opposing gen
eral amnesty, they are labor irg under a false
delusion.
General (!) Albright, who ''protested"
gint the resolution, U Charley Albright,
who at oue time ieidcd in this place and
who afterwaids went to Kankas and became
a freedom shrieker. Those who knew the
littleness of bis soul will not be surprised at
Ji is protest egainst amnesty. He is incapa
ble of rising higher than that. Amnesty
rill yet co'ir.e. however, with hea'.ir.g oc its
evingM. even though it be "protested" against
by a arbcle army of such narrew-winded po
litical bigot M Albright.
Hon. James Thompson.
The ffieul term of Judge Thompson, the
present Clref Just iee of the Supreme Court
of this State, will expire on the first Monday
of text December. 11 is reputation as an
able, accomplished Judge and h:a irreproach.
able character are so well established and ao
universally admitted that anything we might
say in his behalf would be entirely supetflu
ous. The highest praise that could be be
stowed upon him has very recently been ut
tered by John W. Forney, in the Philadel
phia Tress, who says of him : "The vacan
cy to be fi.'.ed next October is created by tha
expiration of the term of Chief Justice
James Thompson, a democrat, but one of
the purest, truest and bravest men that ever
ruled in our highest court." This ecomium
on Judge Thompson is as outspeken as it is
jurt. and, coming from a political opponent,
it may be said of it, that "praise from Sir
Hubert is praise indeed." It was feared
that Judge Thompson would not cousent to
a renorniuatien. bnt it will be seen from the
following correspondence between a large
number of prominent members of the Phila
delphia Bar, without distinction ef party,
and the Judge, that he consents to be a can
didate. The Democratic State Convention
will of course nominate him, and thus afford
the people an opportunity of retaining him in
the position which he so ably, justly and iru
partially fills.

The Radical I'resn on XIarirann.
The nomination of John F. Hartranft by
the ring convention at Harrisburg, as its
candidate for Governor, has produced "con
fusion worse coufounded" in the radical
camp. The only escape from utter and dis
graceful defeat now relied upon by the radi
cal press is the hope that the Democratic
State Convention will make a like fatal
bluuder when it comes to nominate its can
didate. Such a mistake has heretofore been
committed by the Democratic party on more
than one eccaeiou. and it is just possible, but
not at all probable, that it may do so again.
A few weeks will determine the question.
That Uartranft's nomination has totally
demoralized the radical party is abundantly
manifest. It has fallen upon it like a clap
of thunder from a cloudless sky.
From the following extracts from two of
the leading radical papers in the State, it
will be seen that Forney is diaLearteued1, if
not disgusted, and that even the radicals of
the "Old Guard" are in open revolt and re
fuse te fight under the polluted banner of the
"ring and rowdy" Convention.
From the Philadelphia Press.
General John F. Uartronfi. is the Republican
nominee for Governor ol Pennsylvania. We
believe it to be a mot inauspicious selection,
a ad opei ing of what piomises tn be a moat
xuiiing and difficult cimpaign. Made not in
the spirit of harmony in the party or of the
intrresisor the State, but simply to gr itifr a
ring" which line taken possession ot the Re
publican organisation ol the State, and wdl
lead u to inevitable defeat in the citv next
Fall, unless sternly checked beforehandit wiil
need a superhumau efl'ort to elect Geo. Hart
ranft. Not even the placing of Judge Murcur
upou the ticket with hiaa will help to lighten
our load.
We csn only wish that the Convention had
beea held under fairer auspices, that there had
been less of the ring and rodv element, and
more of the disinterested and patriotic spirit
which characterized a few members. Judge
Murcur's name is a tower of strength, but
even it or that ol the best man the Republican
prty of Peuo-TWanU evrr presented cannot
ence tne shame witb winch a part of Wednes
day's proceedings are disgraced.
From the Lancaster Express !
Thoce who have been carelul readers o? the
Express for the past two years, or since it baa
called public attention to the reckless ar.d
criminal manuer in which our Slate finances
have been trunaged, need scarcely be informed
that neither the proceedings nor the results of
the Republican State Convention meet our ap
proval or have any claim upon our support.
The convention, so far as its relation to either
the wishes or the interests of the people at
large are concerned, 'was a broad farce. Wre
never saw ils equal, and we hope we mav never
look upon its like again. It was more like a
ratification meeting, called to endorse what had
already been agreed upon in a caucus called by
the leader of the Treasury Ring of Mackey,
Hartranft fc Co.
The nomination of Hartranft. known te be
a member of a Ring which stinks in the nos
trils ol all houest men. himself under a cloud
of suspicion io connection wiih the Evans fraud,
was had enough, and of itself a greater load
than any party would be able to carry, but it
was completely supplemented by the nominas
tion of Senator Allen, whose principal distinc
tiou was hischampionshpet that gigaotic fraud
known as the "Nice MHliou Steal," aud which
was eo thoroughly ventilated iu the Republi
can newspapers of Lancaster at the time the
bold scheme for robbing the Treasury was at
tempted. To ask the readers of the x press
to support a ticket like this, and nomiuated
under ruch auspices, would be a gross and un
pardonable insult. We do not believe it can
be e'ected, and the best reason in the world
which can he given for this opiuion, to all hen
est men, is that it does not deserve to be.
A Great Jtleetln?.
The Cooper Institute meeting was a fit
thing, fitly done. The bold reliance on pop
ular suptiort in which it was conceived was
justified by the thronging, earnest multi
tudes of whoas only a small part were able to
gaiu admittance into tbe largest public hall
in the city. The meeting was appointed
at eight o'clock ; but soon after seven the
hall was packed and crammed, and at
half-past seven there was a retreating stream
of peeple who had vainly tried to wedge
themselves into the expectant assembly, aud
had failed. A black mass of bees clustering
upon a swarming hive is but a faint image
of the outside crowds, who, though coming
early, came too late for entrauce. If the
meeting had been held in the open air. the
people attending it would have been mea
sured by acres. The great feature of the
meeting was, that the rt-vrvt. were there. It
is demonstrate 1 that the strong, courageous,
patriotic popular heart is in this movement,
and that it is therefore likely to succeed.
"This thing was not done in a comer."
Here in this focus of intelligence, the me
tropolis of a continent, whe e an active press
reports every great demonstration, and wafts
it, as if on the wiDgs of the four wiuds, to
every hill aud valley, every town and ham
let, of this vast couutry. so successful a
public meeting is of immense significance.
The throbs of this mighty heart will seud
the pulsing currents through eveiy artery
of thi republic. What Hunker Hill was to
the Kovolutiou. what Anukkson's brave re
sistance at Sumter was to the war for the
Ucion. such wul this New York meeting be
to the Piesidential campaign of which the
epeticg guns have new been fired, aud
whose report will reverberate from end to
end of the coautry. From Pa&samaqnoddy
Hay to the Golden Gate, from the Great
Lakes to the Guif of Mexico, tbe influence
of this great meeting will be Islt. It was
the oue tbiug just now requisite to ''fire the
popular heart." It wili tend an electric
tui ill to the remotest extremities of the re
public. We knew bttore that some of the
Republican leaders opposed the re-eltctioti
of GaANT ; but we had no certain means of
judging whether tbey did not resemble cfii
ceis without lank-aiid-fiie sbfiicient to cou
slitute au army. It is uow apparent that
the people are with thorn ; thai the pevple
are ready to follow wherever they cau fiud
statesmen courageous euough to lead ; and
that this movement is in uo danger of lailicg
for waut of earnest popular support.
The speeches, last evening, were equal to
the occasion, aud tully met the expectations
of the applauding audhucs. The conjunc
ture reqmtreti, above all things, boldness;
aud they were snfticieutly bold. Neither
Mr. Tklmblll nor Mr. bcauux showed any
lyciiuatiou to in i nee matters, or to handle
tbe administration with mittens. The truth
was spoken "without lear ; the breach bc
twetn the Liberal Republicans and the ad
ministration is made irreconcilable ; here
alter it is a war iu which no quarter cau be
either asked or given. There is now strong
reason to believe that the Ciuciuuati Conveu
liou wilt be a success, and that it w ill hold
iu its hanos the destiny of the republic for
the ensuing lour years. It will not be a
mere advisory body inteuded to act Mpon and
intlueuce the Ghant Convention at Pbiladel
phia j but a thoroughly hostile body, meet
lug to organize a cauvass which will sweep
j prevailing uepoiii-m ana corrup
tion, re-establish kindly relations between
all the States, refoitu the civil sei vice, check
centralization, aud restore the right of local
self-govarumeut. It is now certaiu that the
C'nciunati Convention will nomiuatea ticket,
and unless some great blunder is perpetrated
iu the selectiou ol caudidatea, that ticket will
unite, iu closs, compact phalanx, all the ele
Qienta of opposition.
If this great and spirited meeting is a fore
taste of Cincinnati, tbe Democratic paity cau
well affird to wait aud watch. It will put
no obstiuctiona in the way of a movemeut
which seems to stand on so strong a basis,
but it must nevertheless reserve its final
judgment until tbe preseut hopeful antici
pations shall ripen, by the prngresi of
events, iute established facts. New York

These are the words which, last week, a
Senator of the United States spoke aud delib
erately priuted for we use the revised report
in the (Jlobe and the Senate, at least the
Radical majority, "laughed" and enjoyed it
hugely ! Tbe Senator is Simon Cameron, of

he was a paid instrument of the Bduk of the
(Jutted States, down to this momeut nearly
forty years of prostitution has "sounded all
the depths and shoals" of political iniquity.
Thus contemptuously he speaks of v aah
ington "that good old man"! Wheu
Washington, on the dark December day,
seventy-two yeais ago. calmly and gently
breathed his last, he was a youuger man by
at least a luster than Senator Cameron la
now ; and that he was a good man veu Sen
ator Cameron admits. lJut what would he
see were he permitted to revisitthe glimpses
of this our day ? He would see a land which
he left united ia affection scarred all over by
civil war, its sympathies alienated, and the
Constitution which he contributed so much
to create dislocated. He would see a social
revolution consummated that his imagina
tion, emancipationist as he may have beeu,
never dreamed of. He would find in his
own place a man whose highest aspirations
seem to be "to feed his flocks aud keep"
his relatives io office ; and, finally, be would
find in the seat which such men as Rbert

"The ENcaped Xun."
In the St. Paul Pioneer we find the fol
lowing : Ou Tuesday 4ast it ia supposed that
Miss Edith O'Gormao.-Tbe Escaped Nun,"
arrived at the Nicollet. An individual
having the appearauce ol a gentleman, reg
istered iiisowu aud her nsme aa follows:
"Prof. Auffray and Wife, Jersey city." It
waa persumed that the mala nuu was Miss
Edith's busbund, aud No. 49 was aaaigoed to
them.
They remained at the Nicollet until last
evening. The clerk of the Nicollet is our
authority for the statement that except upon
one occasiou, wbeu she weut out to noe for a
short lime, rhe lell her room only when she
visited the Academy of Music to lecture.
The male nuu, i. t. 'Mr." Edith O'Goin.an.
kept the door of her room locked and the
key in his pocket. He did not allow her to
visit the diuing-room, even, but carried her
meals to her. The guests rooming in that
portion ol the house were surprised at about
noon yesterday to hear a disturbance iu No.
49. The door was locked so that the room
could not be entered, but the male nun was
evidently amusing himself iu beating and
dragging the "Escaped Nuu" about the
rooiu. she shrieking and pleading for mercy,
meanwhile.
At diuuer time he told the steward that
the lady occupant of No. 49 would require
ce diuner aud she had none. He alter-,
ward spoke of goiug for a doctor for the
lady, but instead, about 4:30 P. M., cou
cluJjd to "go for the lady," aud the beating
and dragging aud shrieking and imploring
were repeated. Tbe symrathtea of the
guests were with the '"Etcaped Nun.'
She was billed te lecture at Saint Paul
last evening, and preparatory to starting for
the 6 P. M. train, the male nun paid his
bill, and said ho would leave most of hta
baggage, as they would return to-day.
The male nuu was directed by the clerk
to pick up his bag and baggage and leavi
that neither his preseuce nor his money was
wauted iu the future.
The mail nuu left, accompanied by the
"escaped uun." The traiu lor St. Paul
was about two hours late, and the male and
escaped nun"repaired to the Bellevue house
to await its arrival. At about 6;30 they
returned to the depot. The "escaped nun"
was barely able to keep upon her leet, while
"Mr." Edith O'Gorma'u dragged her down
the sidewalk aud through the mud te the
depot. The "escaped duuV luuba refused
to do duty. She staggere 1. aud would have
fallen iu the gutter repeatedly but for the
support of the strong right arm that had so
shamefully beaten her a few hours before.
If she hadu't been an "sea, ei nuu,"
people would have said she was inttxicated
otherwise, diut.k but "escaped uuni'
wouldu't get diunk.especially when engaged
in deli vet ing hih moral lectures.
The whole affair was disgraceful.
There are those uncharitable enough to say
that Edith shc-uld "escape" twice more.
viz : from the brute who maltreats her, and
from her appetite.
It is said that the male nan states that
Miss Edith is nervous aud excitable, and he
finds it necessary to administer laudauum
aud castigatiou in equal doses. He, per
haps, gave her an overdose of both yesterday,
and that may accouul for her condition last
evening.
A IIoebibli Arraift About one o'clock
on Saturday morning tbe occupants of a
house in the Nineteenth ward. Pittsburgh,
were aruusid by the calls of Peter Weise. a
cattle broker, who reuted one of the rooms,
sayi-g that his wife had been murdered.
Tbe woman was discovered lying on the
bed, presenting a horrible spectacle ; there
was a gash extending to the wiudpipe from
ear to ear, aud another tut en the back of the
ueck, the two neariy severing the head from
the body. From the wounds it appeared
that the cutting hail beer, done an hour r
more previously. It wax a wonder that she
had not bled to death. When the police and
surgeons arrived she was still conscious, but
unable to speak.
Search was made for her husband, and he
was found in an outhouse asleep ; be was
brought into her room and asked the cir
cumstances ef the case. He said that be came
home about eleven o'clotk. There was no
light in the room. His wife called him and
kissed him, and said. "Peter, that is the last
kiss you will get from me." He left her, and
she rolled out of bed; he lifted her up. struck
a light and found that she had cut her throat.
The wife was asked who did it. and she
pointed to her husband, making a movement
across tbe throat as if in tke act of cuttiug
it. Shortly after a pencil was put in her
hand, and an t fficer, holding a piece of paper,
told her to write the name of her murderer,
when she wrote "Peter Wei.e."
In the afternoon, while tbe woman was
still alive, Weise appealed to realize that he
was in danger. He got down upon his knees
at the bedside and implored his wife to save
him from being hanged, to tell that she had
cut herself but the wife made no reply.
They bad been in the habit of quarrelinn-
STILL LATFR.
The deputy mayor of P.ttsburgh on Sun
day took the ante-mortem statement of the
woman (Weise) who was ftind io that city
on Saturday who her throat cut, and which,
by signs, she charged to her husband.
In her affidavit she says that she did the
deed herself, with her right hand stretching
back as far as she could. One of the occu
pants, who first entered the room, teitified
that she had before threaten ed to take her
life. Wheu he found her she waa lying on
the floor, blood and whisky running from
her throat.
The physician in attendance testified that
she 6 rat tola! him that her husband had cut
her after kicking her out of bed, but that
subsequently she said the deed was of her
own doing that she was tired of life. She
struggled against being bandaged ami once
tore the bandages off. Oa this testimouv
Peter Weise, the husband, was released from
custody.
DcBUUi. The Dubuque (Iowa) Tele
graph vouches for the following singular horse
story : "On Monday evening last a man
whose name we could not learn was seen
wending his way up Julian avenue, leading
a mare by tbe bridle. He was badly intox
icated, so much so that he staggered, and it
was sometimes as much as he could do to
maintain his equilibrium. The mare kept a
good watch on bis movements, and whenever
he came near falling tbe mare would grab
his coat cellar between her teeth and hold
him us. She did so no less than a dozen
times, in the presence of several interested
spectators. The drunken man fell down in
the street once, but no sooner had he done so
than tLe animal grabbed the back of his coat,
and set him on his feet again. When a lit
tle beyond McNulty's house, tbe owner of
the mare met an acquaintance of his, who
was also drunk. They engaged in conversa
tion, and, while talking, bumped against
each other, and tbe man first alluded to fell.
He waa immediately picked up by the mare,
and, just as soon as she had finished her job,
she turned around and let her heels fly, in a
savage manner, at the man who knocked her
master down. Fortunately, her heels missed
the mark."

Liver Complaint.
In this disease there is a peculiareachetic
condition of tbe blood which gives 'rile to a
long train of diversified symptoms.
The countenance becomes saliow, the eyes
have a yellowish tinge, the whole skin be
comes changed in color aud appearance, aud
not unfrcqueutly terminate iu a jaundiced
coudition of all the excretions, but especially
the urine.
Dyspepeia soon sets in. sometimes coughs
similating Consumption. Dropsy, with its
usual symptoms of swelling t f feet and legs
Asthmatic difficulties, Costiveness, Piles.
Src. These many times so far change the
sjmptoms in every other respect as to make
it d.fficult for tbe physician to arrive at the
true nature of the esse by the pulse and
tongue alone.
A mere ocular inspection of the nrine in
this disease, however, is nearly always suffi
cient to determine the nature of the case,
ajd many times to give a very correct opin
ion of thn extent f the mischief also.
The melanchoty which is to apt to take
place in Liver Complaint, has often ltd to
erroneous tieatment. and the worst i f conse
quences hsve thus befallen the patient.
We have cured many caes of melancholy,
amounting even to "derangement of the
mind." when the cause was plainly attribut
able to Liver Complaint alone.
In this disease, as in many others, the
urine is so well maiked as to denote the
character of the disorder long before it is
manifested by any other symptom or out
ward sign.
We have had the examination and treat
ment of so many rases of this disease and its
complications that we have learned the kind
of medicines to be used io each particular
case not only but fsel sti.-fied' that they
can be treated more successfully without,
than triA, any mercuiial preparation what-
ever.
In fact, our success in this affection num
bers thousands of cases, and reliable cures
have been made in hundreds of instances,
after nearly tbe last vestige of hope had been
exhausted.
For the benefit of those living at a distance
laboring under Chronic Affections, and una
ble te attend in pern. we would any : by
sending a vial of urine for examination, the
necessary medicines can be sent them by ex
press.

A Hard Cask. A blushing maiden ia
Vermont sues a man for bieach of contract,
under the following curious circumstances:
She had a farm which he wiahed to purchase,
and she ell red the property and herself for
twenty thousand dollars, refusing to sell one
without the other. He accepted, paid the
moDey, got the title deeds of the laud, and
felt so well satisfied with his bsrgain that
he restored one-half of it to her. As that
half was hersll. she decliued the generous
gift with thsnks and insisted be should
marry her. He refused, aud she sues him
for breach of contract, and there is every in
dication that she will win the suit. Now,
if a man cannot do what he likes with he
ewn. it is hard indeed. If we are to be sued
and made to suffer the penalties of the law
every time we sea fit te iudulje in a pi.ee of
thuughtless generosity . some f the kindliest
feelings of our common nature will receive a
shock that will prove fatal to them. If we
buy a woeded land and determine to make
tbe former owner a present of the who 1 ,
ahall he sue us for brrach of contract ? If
we buy a well stocked farm, and conclude
to give a pig, a cow, or a horse away, shall
we be plunged into a lawsuit? It is un
necessary to cite further examples as proof of
t he absurdity of the w hole affair. If we were
that man we would marry our prosecutor,
join half a dozen clubs, a MaMnic lodge, a
military company and a sport:n c'ub. and
try to make her as comfortable as possible
under the circumstances.
