Irish Clgrch establishment, thoughprofes
sally in the interests of PrOestantians,
not sustained or justified by the Protisteot
world, and the Protestant masses of Zak

tabliahment bill has roped the, House of

or destroy it by modfficatioifs. It may sac
rifice Itself, bait it cannot thereby preserie
the. Trish establishment. The House of
Lords is tolerated only .upos the condition
that it will sadly the action of the tkun
mons, and will give its formal assent to all
popular . movements. It possesses no real
political power, and will not be permitted
to obstruct the wishes of the people.
Should it be rash enough to reject the dis
estabibibment bill, it will at-once inaugurate
a movement for its own reorganization, and
the destruction of hereditary- privileges.
Such a movement cannot, perhaps, be
long deferred anyhow. Another reform bill
will soon be demanded, making suffrage

the disestablistunent of the English Church,
the abolition °ldle laws of primogenitdre,
and Manual destruction ot the kingly comae.
The mere of the English people are sub
rtantislly, though not professedly, republi
can in sentiment. They accept the great
doctrine pf human rights upon which our
government is founded ; and, while they
yet retain the throne and the House of

Engliablediumsa,. heretofore slow, are be
coming more rapid, and the English peo
pie are marching with accelerated speed to a
republican government. Universal suffrage
and hereditary privilege cannot exist long
together. They are essentially hostile elez
meats., The progress of suffrage in Eng
bad has been resisted at every step by the
ariauxuanc . classes; but after twiny years of
struggle it has arrived at that point where
its further progress cannot be long delayed.
Universal suffrage lies at the very semi:Olt
of the bill of Difficulty, the ascent of which
is rugged, slow, and toilsome, but when
achieved the people will be masters of the
situation:.. America is avenging herself up
on England by gradually but surely over
turningrher aristocratic and heirarchic in
stitutions by the force of her teachings and
example. The principles of civil and re
ligions liberty, crude and imperfect when
first brought from England to America,
having been refined, illustrated, and extend
ed, we return them to the mother country
for her'adoption, laden with rich and glori
ous results. The spirit of American liberty
is abroad in England. Her Bright', Glad
atones, Foment, and her - whole host of
liberal statesmen, are proclaiming the doc- '
trines of: the Declaration of Independence,
and verifying the saying of a celebrated
Englishman that the American Revolution
guaranteed the free institutions of England.
We may not live to see England a republic, '

The difficulties In the way of patting
down the rebellion were great. The rebel
lions States contained a population of not
less than ten millions, and although nearly
four mffilone were slaves, yet mat of them,
until the very conclusioh of the war, con
stituted the laboring-and producing classes,
and Ihrnished the supplies for the rebel
armies in the field and the non-Combatants
at home. , • The territory of the rebellious
States comprised en area of not less than
eight hundred square miles, diversified by
Vast ranges of mountains, deep rivers,
tangled wilderness, and far-stretching
swamps, and everywhere presenting natural
defences, behind which a small force could •
—bold a large one at bay.
The lines of communication were neces
sarily of great length, and maintained_with
difficulty. A large portion of our forces
were constintlyemployed in this way and
in garrisoning pests, so that it was seldom
we were - able to meet the enemy with su
perior for& upon the field.
These 'immense difficulties went far to
counterbidance our superiority in popula
- lion and resources, and ware so great as to
lead militthybbservers throughout Europe
to prophecy, almost with one accord, that
we could 'not conquer the South. It was
said there was no instance in history where
so ierge:a population, scattered over even
one-lhlor- of a- territory so great as that
embracetty the rebellion; had been sub
dued: It was said we * Could not conquer
space; tharconquest would be a geographi
cal imptlilibility ; that three millions of
men could not garrison the South, end that
.when- we had captured their towns' ind
°Tema the inhabited parts of their coun
try, they-wonld.' still maintain the vier in
morass, mountain, and forest almost impen
etrable tolegular wires, until the North,
exhausted in blood and treasure, and broken
in hops, would give np the contest.
Such was the belief !of leading military
minds in Europe, and of the politicians of
the South when the war began. These
opinions seemed well-founded in reason and
in history, and the suppression of the re
hellion, all things considered, may be justly
regarded as the greatest' of -all military '
achievements.
The fact that the rebel! Sought trOon their
own soil; in s country with which they
were familiar, protected from the approach
of, loyal armies by the natural - advantages
before described, was a full compensation
the difference between the population
mid rest: Woes of the two sections, and the
final triumph of our arms and the suppres
sion of the rebellion must be sought for in
other causes.

bitterness and humiliation, yet there was
nothing Left for which they might sacrifice
their homes and the future -quiet and pros
perity of their lives. Their Cause failed in
advance of their armies and resources.
The rebethlatorian of the. "ioat cause',"
in descanting upon the subject; speaks ,as
foliowa :
`The whole fabric of Cohfederate defence
tumbled doWn at a stroke of arms that did
not amount to battle. These was no last
great coniulsion, such as usually marks the
final struggles of a people's devotion, or
the expiring hours of their desperation.
The word surrender travelled from Virginia
to Te,xas. A four years' contest terminated
with the smallest incident of bloodshed'; it
lapsed, it passed by a rapid and easy tran
sition, into a profound and abject submis
sion. There must be, some explanation of
this flat conclusion of the war. It is easily
found. Such a condition could only take
place in the thorough demoralization of the
armies and people of the Confederacy;
there must }l've been a pueral decay of
public spirit—a genertil rottenness of public
affairs—when a great war was thus termi
nated,' and a contest,was abandoned so short
of positive defeat, and so tar from the his
torical necessity of subjugation.
And again he says :
"We fear that the lessons and examples
of history are to the contrary, • and we
search in vain for one instance where a
country of such extent as the C,onfederacy
has been so thoroughly subdued' by any
amount of military force, unless where
popular demoralization has supervened-7

animated by the justice of their cause, and
the belief that it would triumph because It
was just, struggled on, and at the end of
seven years were blessed with peace and
the rich reward which shall be the inheri
tance of the earth. "Thrice is he armed
who hash his quarrel just," and weak and
defenceless are they who contendfor injustice
and slavery, though girt about by the moun

Secondly.' The armies of the North
were strong in that physical endurance
which is communicated by habitual labor,
and by that self-reliance and confidence
which. free labor only can inspire. They
were strong in the intelligence of the
masses who tilled the ranks. These men
understood well the nature of the struggle
in which they were engaged. They knew
the vast consequences to themselves, their
posterity, and to the world, depending up
on the result. Their education enabled
them not only to comprehend the "cause,-"
but military operations, the condition of
the Government and the country, and the
decline of the spirit and strength of the
enemy. In short, our 'armies._ were a vast

possessing clear ideas of duty, condition,
consequences, and - spirit and resolution
commensurate to these.
?Ell PRZAKINIT DAY
We have met here to-day to dedicate this
monument to the memory of the patriotic
and gallant men who tell upon this field,
and to testify our lave for the great cause
in which they perished. Their achieve
ments will be recorded upon the pages of
history, much more:enduring than stone,but
we desire to present this visible evidence of
our remembrance_and gratitude. We are sur
rounded to-day by .many of the surviving
heroes of the battle; by many of the relatives
and friends of those-beloved dead, and by
manythonsands of oar people who rejoice in
the preservation, peace and prosperity of
our country. That we have a-united coup
try, that we have national Government,
that we have peace in all our borders, that
there is liberty and protection for all, that
we have bright and glorious prospects of
individual happiness aint national growth
and power, we owe to the brave men who
fell upon this and other fields. The glori
ous circumstance and-bright auspices over
and around us to-day were purchased by
their blood. We are in the full enjoyment
If the prize for which it was- shed: Let us
ncrease the gratitude of our hearts by con
aidering for a moment what would be our
condition if the rebellion had triumphed.
We would have - no solemn bat sweet occa
sions like this. We would have no common
name, no national flag, no glorious pros
pects for the future.
Had the bend of * union been broken the
various parts would have crumbled to pieces .
We should have a slaveholding confederacy
In the South; a republic on the Pacific ; an
other in the Northweist, and another in the
East. the example of one successful
secession, dismemberment of the balance
would have speedily followed, and our
country, once The hope of the world, the
pride of our hearts, broken into hostile
fragments, would have been blotted from
the map, and become a byword among the
nations. Let us thank Almighty GOd to-day
that we have escaped this horrible fate.
We feel as one who awakes from $ terrible
dream, and rejoices that be is elite. We
feel as did the thildren of Israel, when,
standing upon the shores of the Red Sea,
they looked back upon the destruction from
which they had beenAlelivered.
lfr. Lincoln, standing in this place a few
months after the battle, and while' yet the
conflict was raging, dedicated himself to his
- country and to the cause of liberty and
union. The demon of Rebellion afterwards
exacted his life, -but the inspiration of the
words he spoke Is resting upon us to-day.
The great prophecy he uttered when be
said "the nation shall under God have a
new birth of freedom," and that "the gov
ernment of the people, by the people, and
for the people, shall not perish from the
earth," is being fulfilled. He sealed his
devotion with his blood, and sacred be his
memory. The eloquent Rverett, who spoke
here on the same occasion, and who has
since passed from earth, said : "God bless
the Union ; it is dearer to naktoul the blood
of brave mert which has blnin Shed in its
detbnce." Arr-I stood by them and listened

has been removed. Vicious political her

Increased their mutual respect, and are now

than before.
The Southern States are rapidly recover=
ing from the prostration of the war, and
with their deliverance from the Incubus of
slavery, with free labor, with free schools,
with emigration from the North and from
Europe, will soon attain a prosperity and
power of which they scarcely dreamed in
former days. The advancing prosperity is
solid, just, and enduring. We rejoice in
it. The bonds of Union are made Indis
soluble by 'the community of political prin
ciples, by the complete identity of domes
tic and commercial interests, and by s uni
form system of labor,' of education, and of
habits of thought and action. HENCE

What voice may fitly break

Waiting the purer mood to do them honor:

The patriot's wrath, the soldier's ardor, loot :
They sit above na and above our pavilion,
Disparaged even by our human tears,—
Beholding truth our mos, perchance, may fashion

Closing Prayer.
Exalted and adorable Jehova : At the
close of the solemn ceremonies of this oc
casion, we once more lift up our souls in
adoration to Thee, the God of nations, who
doest Thy will among the armies of heaven
and inhabitants of earth, and to whom
heaven and earth and the whole universe of
worlds also owc their existence. Thine all
seeing eye, 0 God, has witnessed the trans
actions of this day and viewed them, not
as a mere earthly pageant, but in their in. :
tluenee on the wellfare of nations in this
world and the destiny of individuals in the
world to come. And Thou wilt judge
them by that infinitely perfect moral law,
which Thou hast extended over all world s,
and which, based on Thine unchangeable
attributes, is itself unalterable. Judged by
the law we must all plead guilty, guilty as
individuals and guilty as a nation, and our
only hope is its Jesus Christ our Redeemer
We acknowledgehat we have been an un
grateful nation amidst unexampled blessings
and privileges, and brought d own Thy
righteous judgment Upon us. Therefore
has the enemy been permitted to come in
upon us as a flood, and to threaten \ the fabric
of our liberties. Until this \very spot did
his proud legions advance. These hills
have trembled under the thunder of Thy,
wrath ; these fields were covered \ with the
mangled bodies of the dead and dykog.—
Yet blessed be Thy name, Thou didst

,Sous weeks ago Miss Jenkins, a pupil in
Rev. Mr. Weller's school, in North Seinek
ley, Beaver county, was burned to death.
She had retired to bed with a book and
candle for the purpose of studying her les-
sons. Setting the candle upon her breast
she soon fell asleep. About one o'clock in
the morning the candle had burned down
and her clothes caught fire. Springing out
of bed as soon as she was awakened by the
flames, she darted through a number of,
rooms before the Inmates could seize her.
Finally she was secured, and the lames ex
tinguished, but not before the poor girl had
been horribly burned. For three days and
nights she suffered untold agonies, but at
length death relieved her.

FOR GOVERNOR
URN; JOHN W. GEARY
JUDGE OF SIIPRFNE bOtOFIT
HON. HENRY W. WILLIAMS
TINE DEDICATION CEREMONIES.
Eeeling assured that we cannot serve
our readers better this week than by
giving in full the ceremonies connected
with the Dedication of the Soldiers'
National Monument. we surrender the
greater part of to-day's issue to a record
of the interesting exercises on lhat
oc
c=ion. The masterly oration of Sena
tor Morton and the classical Poem by
Bayard Taylor will command special
attention. We also give in full the
opening and closing Prayers by Henry
Ward Beecher and Rev. Dr. Schmuck
er, and the remarks of Mal. Gen.
Meade.
The exercises throughout were deep
ly Interesting, and were witnessed by
a large assemblage of ladies and gen
tlemen, numbering probably 10,000.
The most marked order prevailed
throughout, no accident or other un
pleasant incident occurring to mar the
pleasures of the day. Doubtless, there
were among the throng of visitors
some who left the town disappointed
and dissatisfied. There are always to
be found people exacting lu their de
mands, andindisposed to make reason
able allowances for the occasion, who
make it a business to growl
_and find
fault ; and it will have been passing
strange, indeed, if in the throng of
visitors thrown upon our town last
wealthere were none such, from whom
we may expect the usual grunablings
about thecalledged inhospitality of our
people. All this, however, in the
light of the past, has ceased to annoy
us.
We have heard of some complaint
on the part of the visiting Military as
to the want of proper attention, and it
may be that these complaints were to
some extent well founded. Whatever
the facts be, the citizens of Gettysburg
are iu no wise responsible. As the
Dedication ceremonies occurred in
Commencement week, nearly every
family had its hands full in extending
hospitalities to visiting friends, many
within our knowledge being compelled
to lodge on floors, in order to provide
sleeping accommodations for guests.—
Few, if any, had either time or oppor
tunity to attend to strangers. The
visiting Military were invited by the
Commissioners of the National Ceme
tery, and should have been cared for as
thelignests. If these was fault in this
respect, it should rest with the proper
parties.
It is due to Mr. Wills, the President
of the Board of Commissioners, and
the only resident member, to say that
he was indefatigable In his efforts—ef
forts which we know to have been la
borious and patience-demanding—to
make the ceremonies of the day worthy
of the occasion; and the success which
crowned them is largely due to his un
tiring efforts. the Board itself only
met late on Wednesday, and whatever
of defective arrangement there may
have been, we feel assured was because
of the pressure of duties demanding
inun.diate attention.
THE NATIONAL - DEBT
The exhioit of Mr. BOUTWELL, Sec
`retary of the Treasury, shows a still
farther reduction of the National Debt,
during the month of June, to the
amount of sl6,4lo,l32—making a total
reduction since March 1, when the
new AdMinistration came into power,
of Thirty Six Millions Four Hundred
and Sixty Thousand Four Hundred
and Seventy-nine Dollars, ($36,460,-
479 ? ) which is at the rate of over One
Hundred Millions per annum ! It will
be recollected that
. during the last
Presidential campaign, the Copper
heads circulated far and wide a calcu
lation, based upon figures furnished by
the immaculate statician Delmar, to
impress the people with the conviction
that the country, under Republican
extravagance, was going to ruin. This
calculation maintained that the ex
penses of the Government for the fiscal
year ending June 1, 186'), must amount
to $482,059,202, while its entire receipts
from ull available sources T uld not
possibly exceed s32l,62o,ooo—whereby
there would be a deficiency of over
$160,000,000 to be added to the then ex
isting debt. Well, we have, reached
the end of the fiscal year, and instead
of a deficiency the receipts have ex
ceeded the expenditures by about
$156,000,000. Besides the debt of $36,-
460,479 paid since March, the Govern
ment has to-day on hand coin to the
amount of $110,000,000, besides a cur
rency balance itlf $37,000,000. So much
for Copperhead statistics and Republi
can economy. But for the wholesale
thieving and plundering during the
greater part of the year, by Johnson's
officials, prior to Grant's induction into
office, the reduction of debt would
have been still heavier.
THE Democracy of Philadelphia are
in a bad way. The shoulder-hitters
and roughs, under the lead of Billy
McMullin, captured the nominating
conventions last week, forced the nom
ination of characteristic candidates for
the City offices, and ran the machine
generally by the open display bf pis
tols, knives and bludgeons. Many of
the delegates withdrew in disgust, pro
testing against the nominations as a
farce, while the respectable wing of the
Party talk of putting up a new ticket.
The next step of the roughs will be to
capture the ballot-boxes in October,
and do enough of "stuffing" to elect
their men, unless the game be blocked
by the Supreme Court endorsing the
new Registry Law. Judge Share Wood,
always recognizing his obligations to
fraud for the seat he now holds, has
made haste to pronounce the law un
constitutional ; but the matter Is now
before the fa bench on appeal.
OS Tuesday, the Supreme Court re
versed Judge Shanswood's decision, and
Pronounced the Registry Law cos
wrrrtrirossr„. The law will therefore
be enforced this fall. McMullin and
his
,pugilistic disciples will have to
change their tactics. The game of vo
ting "repeaters" and dead men, staff
ing ballot-boxes, and similar villainy,
Will be .measurably" blocked by this
law.

THE New York Citizen, a power In

was a failure, and died the death it so rich
ly deserved ; the proposal to pay our debt
in greenbacks has been repudiated by the
nation ; the everlasting colored gentlemen
has secured all the rights be knows what to
do with, and a few more ; the women's suf

party measure. DemocraCy is in a state of
chaos. It cannot undo the irrevocable ; iit
has nothing to offer as an incentive to per

A LIT= GIRL AWACS:RD BY A Bass.
—An exciting and dangerous encounter
with a snake took place in Canterbury, N.
)1,, a few days ago. Nellie Dodge, aged
abort six years, a daughter of Mr. James
Dodge, a substantial farmer in Canterbury,
• accompltnied by another little girl about the
same age', as herself, went out into a field
i near Mr. Dodge's house in the afternoon to
• gather strawberries. They had wandered
but a short distance when Nellie accidental
ly trod upon something in the deep grass,
and instantly a large black snake sprung °up
at her, and immediately commenced to
wind itself around her legs. Enraged at
having been trodden upon, the snake lifted
its head and showed its anger by its pro
truding tongue and flashing eyes. The
child thus in danger was nearly overcome
with fright ; but tor companion, with a
presence of mind seldom- exhibited by one
of her age, quickly found two sticks, and
giving one to Nellie they both commenced
an attack upon the reptile. Again enraged,
the snake endeavored to wind himself closer
and higher upon the body of the child, and
succeeded. in biting her three times severely
before he was driven away. The child was
assisted hOme by her companion, and is nri
der the care of a physician. One of her
limbs is badly swollen and inflamed, but
She Will probably recover.
Prom the description given by the chil
dren of the snake, there Is no donbr but
Shat it was of the variety of the black snake
popularlrknown as the "Racer." This
kind grows to the length of seven and some
times eight feet, has a white ring around
its neck, and when tuning carries its head
erect from six to eight inches above the
ground. The children spoke particularly
about the "white string tied around Its
ieck," meaning its ring. They spoke of it
tai being what to" them seemed a fahuloult
tine, and said that when It ran off It kept
its head oil in the air and looked beck at

DLit Sin—l havebeen a sufferer, f... upward
twenty years, with gravel, bladder, and kidney affec
tions, during which time I have used various medic-
Ina! preparations, and been under the treatment
of
the must eminent•physicians, experiencing but little
relief.
Having seen your preparations extensively adver
tised, I consulted with my family physician in regard
to using your Extract Rocha.
I did this because I had used all kinds cf advertised
remedies, and had found them worthless, and some
quite injurious; la fact, I despaired of ever getting
well, and determined to use no remedies hereafter uti•
lens I knee , of the ingredient.. It wee this that
prompted me to use your remedy. As you ad, cruised
that it was composed of Guam. coheir, and juniper
berries, it occurred to me sad my physician as an ex
cellent combination, and, with life adv ice, after aura.
arninstlon of the article, and consulting again with
the druggist, I concluded to try it. I commenced Its
use shout eight months ago, at which time I area con
fined to my ,000nn. Prom the first bottle I was aston•
'shed and grutiiled at the beneficial effect, and after
rising it three weeks, was able to walk out. I felt
mo d, lik e writing you a full statement of my case at
that time, but thought my improvement migit only
be temporary, and therefore concluded to defer and
see if it would effect a perfect cure, knowing then it
would be of greater value to you, and more satisfac
tory tome.
I am now able to report that a cure la effected after
mans the remedy fer flee mouth..
I have not used any new , for three months, and feel

SPECIAL NOTICE. ''
SCHENCK'S PIILMONIC STEUP,
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, will cure Con
sumption, Liver Complaint, and Dyspepsia, if taken
according to directions. They are all three to be ta
ken at the same time. They cleanse the stomach, re
lax the live:, and pat it to work; then the appetite
become, good; the foal digests and makes good blood;
the patient begins to grow In flesh ; the diseased mat
ter rims in the lungs, and the patient outgrows the
disease and gets well. This is the only way to cure
coneumptiou.
To these three mei sines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia. owes his unrivalled sacceasld the treat
ment of pulmonary consumption. The Pulmonlc
Syrup ripen, the morbid matter in the lungs, nature
throws it off by an easy expectoration, kr when the
phlegm or matter is ripe, a slight cough will throw it
off, and the patient bas rest and the lungs begin to
heal.
[Jane 11-1 m
To do this. the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills
moat be trimly used to cleanse the Mamma and liver,
so that the Polmonic Syrup and the bud will make
good blood.
Schenck's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, re
moving all obstructions, relax the ducts of the gall
bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is soon
relieved; the stools will show what the Pills mu do
nothing has ever beau invented except calomel (a
deadly poison which Id very dangerous to use unless
with great care), that will unlock the ga/l.bladder
and start the secretions of the liver like Schenck's
Mandrake Pills.
Liver Complaint is one of the meet prominent
causes of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic Is a gentle stimulant and
alterative, and the alkali in the Seaweed, which this
preparation Li made of, assists the stomach to throw
out the gastric juice to dissolve the bud with the
Pulmonic Syrup, and it is made into good blood with.
out fermentation or souring in the stomach.
The great reason why physicians do not cure con
sumption is, they try to do too much; they give me
dicine to stop the cough, to stop chlile, to stop night
sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they derange the
whole digestive powers, locking up the secretions,
and eventually the patient einkaand dies.
Dr. Schenck, In his treatment, does not try to stop
a cough, night sweats, chills, or fever. Remove the
cause, and they will all stop of their own accord.—
No one can be cured of Consumption, Liver Com
plaint, Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Cankvr, Ulcerated Throat,
inlets the liver and stomach are made healthy.
If a person has consumption, of course th e longs In
tome way are diseased, either tubercles, &becomes,
bronctdafirritatiov, pleura adheslen, or the lunge are
• mem of Inflammation and last decaying. In such
oases what must be done. It la not only the lungs
that are wasting, but It is the whole body. The
stomach and liter have lost their power to teaks blood
out of food. Now the only chance is to take Schenck's
three medicines, which will bring up • Sons to the
stomach, the patient will begin to want foal, II will
digest easily and make good blood; then the patient
begins to gain In flesh. and as soon as the body hyena
to grow, the lanes commence to heal up, and the pa
tient get. fleshy and well. This le the only way to
cure Consumption.
When there is no Dreg disease, and only Liver Com.
plaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills are sufficient without the Pulmmeic
Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all bilieue
complaints, as they are perfectly harmless.
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted health
for many years past, and now weighs 2315 potutils,Wat
