A joint resolution has pasted Congress
fixing the time for fioal adjournment on next
Monday.
A dispatch from Washington to the Phil
adelphia Inquirer, states that on Wednesday
last Grant visited the capitol and made a
personal effort in favor of the passage of the
Ku-klux bill. Ilia mission ended in disas
trous failure. No former President ever
stooped bo low in order that be might con
quer. It was a disgraceful repetition of his
lobbying appeals in favor of the infamous
San Domingo job.
The last Johurtown Tribune contained a
wanton and scurrilous attack on the county
commissioners for their refusal to put in
force, during the present year, the act cf As
sembly regulating the collection of taxes in
this county, which was approved by the
Governor on the 8th of April, a few days
after the Legislature had adjourned. - Un
willing to be surpassed in the low business
if personal defamation, the Herald feebly
imitates the Tribune's example. We have
cot time this week to notice these assaults
jn the way they deserv&, but will make it
our business to do so in our next issue.
Tiie bill empowering Graut until the 4tb
cf next March to suspend the writ of habeas
corpus whenever his whim or caprice prompts
him to do so, having passed a truckling and
ftibaervient Senate, ao effort was made in
the House on last Tuesday by a member of
the Ku-klux committee to pass it through
that body. It met with a swift and thrice
d-servecf defeat, twenty-two Republicans vot
ing with all the Democratic members egaiust
eo dangerous and monstrous an assault upon
civil liberty. It is to be hoped that this pet
project of the administration haa now been
consigned to a legislative grave from which
it will know no resurrection.
On next Wednesday Grant' t ffice-holders
from Maine to Oregon will hold a reunion in
Philadelphia for the purpose of going thro'
the useless formality of nominating him for
tho Presidency, At least one-fourth of the
radical party is bitterly opposed to having
him thrust upon it as a candidate for re-elec
tion, and cherUh the delusive hope that
something may occur to prevent such a ca
lamity. But Grant's rencmination is a po
litical necessity with radicalism. and his
awarm of cflice-holders, bound together by
the cohesive power of public plunder, have
long since determined that it must and shall
take place. If there was any other availa
ble candidate in the Republican party, Graut
would not be seriously thought of, and radi
cal politicians and office-holders, unlike sun
flowers, would not cow, "turn to their god
as he sets the same look that they gave hen
he rose." Grant's renomination. therefore, is
the last and only hope of radicalism in its
present desperate coudition.
Tns Democratic State Convention which
met at Reading on Thursday of this week,
nominated Chaiilfs Ii. Dccialbw, of Co
lumbia county, for Governor, on the seventh
ballot, and James TuoupfON, the present
Chief Justice of the Slate, for Judge of the
Supreme Court, by acclamation ; after which
the Convention adjourned until yesterday at
10 o'clock a. M. We have de'ayed our pa
per in order to learn whom its choice has
been for Auditor General, but are compelled
to go to press without the information. It
was thought at Reading, however, that Col
TV. W. Davis, of Doylestown. would be the
man. Be that as it may, the triumphant
lection of the entire ticket over the nomi
nees of the "ring and rowdy" convention, as
John W. Foraey aptly styled the radical
State convention, will not be seriously ques
tioned by any man outside of a lunatic I
asylum. Such an unexceptionable ticket !
cannot fail to win.
P. S. Since the above was in type, the
telegraph informs ns that General Wm, M.
Hartley, of Bedford, has been nominated for
Auditor General ; Messrs. Geo. W. Cass, S.
A. Randall, Win. A. Wallace and Philip
Collins were elected Senatorial delegates at
large to the Baltimore convention, and Jere
miah S. Black, Geo. W. Woodward. Wm.
Bigler, Franklin A.Gowen, Robert A. Lam
berton, A. A. Purmao, James Ellis, Geo. M.
Dallas, John II. Ciropbell, Wm. A. Corbett,
"Wm. H. Smith. Wm. J. Barr, S. II. Rey
nolds and S. C. T. Djdd were .chosen dele
gates at large to Constitutional convention.
Tlio Count j Convention.
Tho proceedings of the Democratic Coun
ty Convention which assembled at the Court
Ilouseo Monday last will be found else
where. It was a full convention, every elec
tion district in the county having been rep
resented. The best spirit was manifested
and entire harmony marked the deliberations
cf the Convention. Of course many aspi-.
rants for political honors failed in having
their w isles gratified, and do doubt felt dis
appointed, but they should remember that
in these latter days success in obtaining it
nomination for office at the hands of a Con
vention, the personal feelings and attachments
of wh ose members are of such a diverse and
complicated nature, is about as uncertain
and indeSnite as drawing a prize in a lottery.
It baa always been so heretofore and will
continue to be eo in the future. It has been
said that "hope springs eternal in the human
breast," and with this reflection it is the part
of wisdom in those who have been disap
pointed now to console themselves with the
belief thai at another time their claims to
political favor will meet with just recogni
tion. AVe regard the nomination of the gentle
man who beads the tieket as the candidate
for Assembly. John Ilannan, of Johnstown,
as bfcing emiLeutly fit to have been made.
He is both competent and honest has al
ways been an active and efficient member of
his party and possesses a reputation for in
tegrity without spot or blemuh. No man
who is not either a knave or a fool, or both,
will assert that his nomination wan pro
cured throngh the corrupt and scheming in
fluence of a political Ring." It was as
unbovght and as generously given as it was
well deserved.
The entire ticket is unobjectionable and
composed cf good and true men. and hence
the Democracy of the ceunty must show a
solid frost in its support and by their undi
vided strength carry it to an assured victory.
That they can do it is admitted that they
tcill do it. we cannot for a momfcnt permit
ourselves to doubt.
General Gordon aud John Scolt.
In a debate in the Senate of the United
States a short time ago on the testimony
taken in several of the Southern States by
John Scott's Ku-khix Committee, that gen
tleman made a deliberate and wanton attack
upon the character of Gen. John B. Gordon,
of Georgia, by the assertion that he (Gordon)
"was among the organizers aud earliest lea
ders" of the Ku-klux organization, and that
"General Gordon had refused to tell all he
knew on the subject." These positive and
damaging statements coming to the notice of
General Gordon, bave elicited from him the
following reply. It is direct in its denial of
the charges made by Mr. Scott and is manly
in its tone, leaving the Pennsylvania Sena
tor no possible excuse for his indiscreet and
unwarranted assault. Gen. Gordon having
been a prominent rebel officer, John Scott
imagined that he could assail him in the
Senate chamber with impunity, but he has
doubtless discovered that he was laboring
under a very great delusion :
New York. May 20.
Hon. John Scott. United States Senator from
Pennsylvania:
Sia : JJy attention has been cilled to some
remarks made by you in the United Slates
Senate on Friday, the 17th ii.st.. iii which you
allege that "General J. li. Gordon, of Geor
gia, was among the organizers and earliest led
era" of the Ku-Klni.
Not satisfied with the prompt denial by two
of your brother Senator, you sought, in fur
theruiiceof il e political o'ject which is apparent
throughout jour remarks, still to impress the
idea thai "General u ;rJon relusid to fell all
he kne-w upon the subject," and you affect to
believe that I had concealed facts within my
knowledge for disl'onest purposes.
Ii is not fur me to contrast my motives, rnj
honor or integrity with yours, but your persist
ent reiteration in jour place in the council
chamber of the nation of a statement already
stumped as a falsehood demands some notice
from uie. You cannot be ignorant of the fact
that 1 distinctly stated in my testimony that 1
knew nothing ol any such order as Ku-Klux."
save what I have seen in the newspapers ; that
I had belonged to un organization of gentle
men, the nature of which wus that of police
for the preservation of the peace in tho yisor
p in i i z t d state of our society ; that there was
no political idea in it ; that it bad never will.iu
mj know ledge cnlied a meeiii g of its members,
that 1 had never seen or heard of a disguise in
Georgia except those worn by two captured
robbers, who were members of and fit repie
seututivts of your own political party as it ex
ists in many portions of the South, and the-c
two, 1 believe, are now iu the Georgia Peni
tentiary. This is my impression o stated in
my testimony before the investigating commit
tee in Washington.
If your visio i, sir, had not been distorted by
prejudice, which I respectfully rubmit is un
worthy the high position you hold as a repre
sentative of a great nation, you would have
seen upon your Southern tour wha; every
honorable Northern man who goes amongst us
sees, viz.. that wlatever ciinies have been
committed iu the South are the direct out
growth of the wrongs perpetrated by the iuta
mous State governments you have set up over
us.
I challenge your denial of the following
facts : Whatever apprehensions were felt it
the cestaiion of the war for the peace of society
and the salety of cilizeua, in consequence of
the overthrow of our local governments, the
disbanding of an army suddenly made paupers,
and the emancipation of a whole race ol slaves,
these appiebeuaions were all soon allayed.
The kindliest relations existed between the
two races ; peace and an observance of law
were everywhere found. And rever, sir,
until your carpet-bag governments, through
the feurs aud cupidity of the poor deluded
negro, bad embittered him against us, and by
his aid and yours had robbed our treasuries,
plundered our corporations, blighted out agri
culture, blasted our hopes, aud hung debt like
a millstone about our necks never uutil then,
and until the administration of law became a
mockery and political subserviency a passport
to Executive cletueucy tor crime, was the
peace in the South ever broken or ill will
engendered between the races.
And it is this diabolism you would continue
in the South. Like the tormeutor in the
Spanish lull-fights, you continually fly the
"bltodv flag in the face of the negro, and goad
the white man to desperation with the bayonet,
that the inevitable coi flict may furnish the
excuse lor the perpetuation of your despotism.
I pray that the American people may ietuke
this spirit in the couiinj; elecious, and let the
reign of constitutional government be once
more inaugurated.
But be that as it may, I shall not permit you
by my silence to bolster up the fortunes of a
political party by thus dragging my name into
notoriety, without atkirg jou to carry also the
responsibility of the wiltul falsehood you have
perpetrated iu the effort. I am, air, very re
spectfully yours,
J. U. GoaroN, of Georgia.

Greeley' Letter f Acceptance,
We. refer our readers to Horace Greeley's
letter accepting hia nomination by the Cin
cinnati Convention for President, which will
be found below. It is written with remark
able boldness and expressed in language so
plain as to be easily comprehended, and to
leave no doubt as to his position on the va.
lious questions to which he refers. II is com-i
aients on the tariff resolution in the Cincin
nati platform are briefly but comprehensively
expressed, and may be regarded as the com
mon sense view of the duties of a Presideut
iu reference lu Congressional ' legislation on
that subject. There is nothing new in the
statement of the position he would occupy
on this question, for the reason that our past
history furnishes no instance of a President
having ever arrested a tariff bill passed by
Congress, no matter whether that body was
in political accord with him or. not.

Ntw Yon K, May 20, lb72.
Gic.NTt.rMF.s: I have chosen not to acknowl
edge your letter of the 3d inst. until 1 could
learn how the work of your Conventiou was
received in all parts of our great country, and
judge whether that work was approved aud
ratititd by the mass of our fellow citizens.
Their response haa from day to day reached
me through telegrams, letters, and the com
ments of jouraiilioU independent of official
patronage aud indifferent to the smiled or
frowns of power. The lumber and character
of these unconstrained, unpurchased, unsolicit
ed utterances satUt'y me that the movement
which found expression at Cincinnati haa re
ceived the stamp of public approval, and
been hailed by a majority of our countrymen
as the harbinger of a better day lor the Repub
lic. I do not misinterpret this approval as espe
cially complimentary to myelf, nor even to
the chivalrous aud justly esteemed gentleman
with wboe name 1 thauk your Convention for
associating mine. I teceive and welcome it as
a spontaneous aud deserved tribute to that ad
mirable platform of principles, wherein your
Convention so tersely, so lucidly, so forcibly,
set forth the convictious which impelled aud
the purposes which guided its course a plat
form which, casting behind it the wreck aud
luhbiih of worn-out contentious and by-gone
feuds, embodies in fit and few words the needs
and aspirations of to day. Though thousands
stand ready to condemu your every act, hardly
a syllable of criticism or cavil has been aimed
at your platform, of which the substauce may
be fairly epitomized as follows :
i All the p-iliiical rights and franchises
which have been acquired through our late
bloody convulsion must and shall be guaran
teed, maintained, enjoyed, respected, evermore
II. All the political rights and franchises
which have been lost through th.it convulsion
should aud must be promptly lestored aud re
established, so that there shall be henceforth
no pioscribed clats and no disfranchised caste
within the limits of our Union, whose long
estranged people shall reunite aud fraternize
ui-on t lie broad basis of uuiversal amnesty with
impartial suffrage.
III. That, snbjcct to our solemn constitu
tional obligation to maintain the equal rights
of all cit.zens, our policy should aim at local
sel'-povei niuent, ai d not at centralization ;
that the civil authority should be supreme over
the military ; that the wiit of babkas coaris
should be jealously uphelJ as the safeguard of
personal freedom ; that the individual citizen
should ei joy the largest liberty con-intent w iih
public oruer , and that thtre shal be no Fed
eral subversion of . the internal polity of the
several Stales and municipalities, but. that
each shall be left free to enlorce the rights and
promote the well-being of its inhabitants by
such means as the judgment of its own people
shall r scribe.
IV. There shall be a real, and not merely a
simulated relorni in the civil service of the Re
public ; to which end it is indispensable that
the chief Uispeuser of its vast ofiiuial patronage
shall be shielded Irom the main temptation to
use his power siltishly by a rule inexorably for
bidding aid precluding his re-electiou.
V. That th raising of revenue, whether by
tariff or otherwise, shall be recognized and
treated as the people a immediate business, to
be shaped and directed by them, through their
repre entatives in Congress, whose aetiou
theie-on the President must neither overrule
by his veto, attempt to dictate, nor presume to
punish by bestowing office only on those who
agree with him or withdrawing it from those
who do not.
VI. That the public lauds must be sacredly
reserved for occupation and acquisition by cul
tivators, and not recklessly squandered on the
projector of railroads tor which our people
have no present need, and the premature con
struction of which is annually plunging us into
deeper and deeper abysses ol foiei&u iadcbleds
ness.
VII. That the achievement of these grand
purposes of uuiversal beneficence is expected
and sought at the hands of all who approve
them, irrespective of past afBliatioiis.
VIU. That the public faith most at all hnz
ards be maintained and the national credit
preserved.
JX. That the patriotic devotedness and in
estimable services of oft- fellow citizens who,
as 6oldiersor sailors, upheld the flag and main
tained the unity of the Republic shall ever be
grateully remembered auu honorably requited.
These propositions, so ably and forcibly pre
sented In the platform of "your Convention,
have already fixed th attention and com ma rul
ed the askent of a large majority of our coun
trymen, who jo fully adopt them, as I do. as
the bases of a true, beneficent national recon
struction ol a new departure trom jealousies,
strifes, and halts, which have uo longer
adequate motive or eveu plausible pretext, into
au atmoepheie of peace, fraternity, and mutual
good will. In vain do the drill sergeauts of
decaying organizations flourish ' menacingly
their tiunchions, aud angrily insist that tbe
files shall be closed aud stiaihtsuid ; in vaiu
do the whippers-in of parties once vital,
because rooted in tbe vital needs of the hour,
protest against straying aud boiling, denounce
mn nowise their interiors as traitors aud
renegades, and threaten tbem with infamy and
ruin. 1 am confident that the American peo
ple have already made your cause their own,
f ully resolved that their brave hearts .. and
strong arms shall bear it ou to triumph. In
this faith, aud with the distinct understanding
that, if elected, I shall be the President, not
of a party, but of- ihe whole people, 1 accept
your nomination, in the confident trust that
the masses of - our countrymen North and
South are eager to clasp banc's across the
bloody chasm wuich has too long divided tbem.
forgetting that they have beeu eueuues iu the
joylul consciousness that they are and must
uencefoitb remain brethren.
Yours, gratefully, Hobace GaxELtv.

Cekt. We have just received from the well
known publisher of first-clars Subscription
Books, Geo. Maclean, a copv of his last pub
lication, eutitled "Oca D.-uutiox," by the cel
ebrated author. Dio Lewis. This iuatlv no nn
lar writer and lecturer on health has done good
service to .humanity by bis efforts to pro
mote physical education, and we gladly wel
come anyinir.g irom his pen. We le .rn from
the preface of the book before us that the au
thor considers it his taost important von,
and we entirely agree with him. In fact we
believe there has long been a need for just
such a book as our "Jolly Friend's Secret."
and feel sure that tbe information it contains
is calculated to do preat and lasting good in
the community. The subject here treated are
really of vital importance, and it is passing
strange that so little attention has heretofore
been paid by Americans to the simplest rules
lor eating and drinking. Dio Lewis, who is
eminently praiical, inculcates the necessity of
boldily exercise, of temperance In eating as
well as iu drinking, of simplicity in diet, of
proper attention to the cooking of victuals, of
Iresh air, of not overloading and evertasking
the stomach, of slow mastication , of regularity
in eating, and of other means whereby indiges
tion and dyspepsia may be avoided and con
quered. Three-fourths of all the sickness aud
un happiness in our midst has a weak digestion
lor iis prime cause, and DvsricrsiA mav almost
be considered a national failing. How easily
this can be overcome our author clearlv shows
in his usual felicitous, chattv, home like style.
The doctor talks right to the heads and hearts
of the whoie people rich and poor alike am
this is the secret of his great popularity. The
simple reading of one ol Dio Lewis' books will
dispel a fit of "the blues." "Our Digestion"
is simply ix valuable, and "Our Jolly Friend's
Secret," which means lonjr life, health and
streugth, physical and moral, is worth many
times the price asked for the volume. This
book ought to supersede Bucban's and every
other "Domestic Medicine" as a household
work, for it shows bow medicine may be dis
pensed with, to a considerable extent, in a ma
jority of cases. The book is issued in splendid
style, and contains a striking portrait of tbe
author, on steel, and other fine engravinga.
We predict for "Our Digestion" au immense
sale and laating popularity, and for the benefit
of all those who may wish to secure an agency,
we give the address of the publisher iu full:

Others have not yet been heard from, but
all those recounted above have been totally
wrecked, and their crews have net beeu ac
counted for except in vtry rare instances,
and the few who were savid could not give
any c!i6i ite intelligence of those they had
left behind them.
Out cf 4 000 sjule only 175 have been ac
counted for. Most of these vessels were
dashed to pieces on icebergs and fields of ice
during a terrific hurricane. Many of tbem
were insured in Ameiican companies, and
merchants ia this city and Massachusetts
were largely interested in the fket.
This wholesale disaster spreads poverty
and ruin throughout New Fotindland, w lie re
the victims nearly all belonged, and the ves
sels generally belonged During the night
of the loss of the fcteamshi p ljtrievr sixteen
ail of vessels were hemmed in by high boul
ders and bergs of ice. over which tremerid--m
seas dashed high and wild. While this fleet
lay to as a last rffrt to survive- the hurri
cane, many tossing crafts cut down each
other, and one fearful instance is recorded
wherein a vessel driven on un icebere by a
high sea. fell back with a mighty crash upon
the Twin Sisters, which lay beneath the
brig. A large number of men were instant
ly cruihed to death, and th Twin Sisters
was ittcrally burst in two. Of the rest, only
fifteen out of ninety-eight clung to broken
spars and were by chance picked up by the
crew of the Retriever.
The, day after the storm the ice opened
and the steamship Retriever made land, on
reaching which she sunk and keeled over,
but her crew succeeded in escaping to the
shore. She was tbe only vessel that reached
shore out of the fleet of ;xteen in her vicin
ity during the hurricane.
Hundreds of the fleet are still to be heard
from, an 1 their fate may be even as gloomy
as that of the forty-one vessels of which the
above account is given by the limes. The
disaster occurred on the right of tha 11th f
Aptil.
plete.
Tha ruin of the seal fibber v is com-
Ejpepsia Itidigettiou.
The eulject of Indigestion has attracted
much attention, because it has ever been a
difficult and troublesome disease to treat.
It is characteiiz-jd by a great vairty of
symptoms, the most prominent of which are,
pain after eating, belching, heartburn, wa
terbrash, fullne-s of stomach, with tender
ness, load or weight in that region, debility,
loss cf flesh, despondency, headache, bad or
capricious appetite, palpitation, cough, cer
vottKties, restlessness, &c, &z.
When the disorder is of long continuance
other organs of the body soon become affected,
and the lungs, liver, brain, or kidneys fre
quently suffer.
In fact. Dyspepsia is the forerunner of a
great number of Chronic diseases, such as
Consumption, Scrofula.Ilem"rrho!ds,Uteiioe
diiliculties, colic pain.,, paralysis, nueralgia,
female derangements, neivous spells, weak
ness, &c. lie. and is in its turn the conse
quence or many of them, ajjd may be com
plicated with almost every and any disease.
From this it is plain that the treatment of
Dvspepsia should be varied according to the
exteut of the disease and the nature of the
complications.
One symptomas more prominent and urgent
in oue case than another, according to the
disease with which it is complicated. And
heuce remedies seldom have the same e fleet
in any two cases. And all plans of treat
ment will most generally fail, unless the
precise nature and cure of the diasase is well
and fully understood."
To determine these there is no better cri
terion than the urinary secretions.
Indeed, we are surprised that so little at
tention has hitherto been paid to that secre
tion in Dyspepsia, wheu we know that there
ia no more certaio sign oflered.
By this we are enabled to determine wheth
er it be Dyspepsia from liver complaint,
kidney affections, nervous disorders, or, in
case of females, from uterine affections, des
rangements or irregularities, or whether these
affections proceed from the Dyspepsia;
and to treat the case in accordance with the
true conditions, the fixed principles of a
fixed science.
There is no guess-work about it. We
have cured hundreds and thousands of cases
of Dyspepsia by a single course of medicine;
other require more, however, according to
tbe disease with which it is complicated.
For the benefit of those living at a dis
tance, laboring nuder Chroaic Affections, and
unable to attend in person, we would say :
by sending a vial of urine for examination,
the necessary medicines can be sent them by
express. L. OLrsncE, M. D..
