That Wrong.
The Lancaster Examiner takes - us to task
for some' pertinent remarks made in the
Sri of last week. Well, what a pity that
we should raise the ire of the publishers of
that paper,Who think it high treason that
any paper outside of Landaster - should
make any inquiries, or any inucados in ref
erence to' any, officers, cliques, parties or
rings, in that city. It is not the first time
that that paper- has taken umbrage at the'
Sr-. It will-be recollected that some time
since it called us-very hard names, because
we had the audacity to publish a cOunty ad
vertiseriient that was not , ordeted to bey
printed , in that paPei:
amine, with terrible main and 'fiery crest,
rushes-b the defence of ono of the proprie
tors of that paper, for certain wrongs said
to have been committed by the SPY. •
We can assure him that we do not mean to

any inch" dodge us that. A bantarung can
just as well reach the object aimed at, oven
if it is hid behind a - whiskey still, as if it
was inallain view. We were well -aware
that there were other ducks likely to feel
the effects of our article, besides those whom
be has chosen to defend. Before we are
through with this subject, we expect to dis
cover the itching - palm that is extended.
monthly to receive the small modicum of a
thousand-dollars from the members of the
whiskey ping, respectively. Do 'you take,
Mr. Examiner:' - We guess you did. You
take occasion to inform the public that the
collector of Ibis district haa politely invited
us to Make a thorough examination of the
matter about - which this hubbub has been
raised. We beg leave - to. decline the kind
offer; wallas.° neither the time nor inclina
tion to enter- upon any wild goose chase. If
the collector seeks it thorough examination,
let him make application to proper de
partment at Washington, for an expert in
smelling out 'whiskey frauds. " lt in . not
likely that any one would be green enough
to keep a record of the font' in a public of
fice. - As - the collector seems - to, be of an
obliging dispOsition, We would thank him
to inform us 'whether he made nay effort to
discover:the - OWtier;'or the 'distillery from
which Was seized, in this place;' about three
months age;` forty barrels - of , Whiskey, in a
car belonging to a firm' in Lancaster city.
Did he not know that it came from a distil
lery Owned by a namesake of his, and that
a leading member of the "`whiskey ring"
offered to buy off the informer, - itlthough
pretending - it the time not to own or know
from whencOlt came, or to whom if 'be
longed.? To imcierstandthe situation titer=
oughly, we must know first why this thing
was not bun ter" im, and the distillery seized.
Wasit beetinse, it was, and is; owned by the
"whiskey ring?" "'We world like to knOW

LilcoSsritu, February lath,
Mu. Entront—lthank you for the.very digni
fied and complimentary article, in the lost num
ber of the Stey,:in which you are pleased to allude
to myself, as .a;" Johnson . °dice holder, and a
silent member of the whisky ring." . •
To the First charge I beg leave to say, that Incas
apixdutedto my present position; by a gentle-,
man whose republicanism has never been ques
tioned; it would, I feel assured, compare not un
favorably with that of any gentleman about the
Spy office. - '
- .
Of my own - political soundness I - shall not
speak; 1 resptect fully referyou to Col. A. S. Green
nd -John B. Bachman,- of your borough: If,
however, I have ever sciatchrd a dad, or failed
Since the day John C. Fremont was- nominated
for President, in 1836, to the present time, to give
my earnest and heartiest support to the men
and measures of the Republican party, I should
like to know It.
To the second charge, I scarcely know what to
reply. I understand very well the latitude which
should be allowed to public journalists, hi a po
litical contest. I know the old proverb, that " all
'is fair in .war," and that perhaps even M,I, can
be justified on that maxim, and yet I cannot con
vince myself that such deliberate, unqualified
lying is either honorable or gentlemanly.
The author of the article either knew nothing
'of what he wrote, or else knew it to be a base,
malicious and utterly unfounded falsehood,
which no political exigency can justify,
I ask for this the same publication as was
given to the article in question.
Yours, Respecfnliv.
B. J. HOUSTON.
We regret that this letter was written ; we
did not intend to make any further allusion.
to the author of the above, as we have been
assured that he is a most worthy and. exem
plary gentleman, and entirely too verdant
to be engaged in any rascality. He seems
to think that because we spoke of "John
son office holders," 'that of course we im
plied-that they were all Copperheads, or
renegades from the Republican party. We
do not doubt. Mr. Houston's loyalty to the
party; ,but nevertheless wo learn that he
was a blatant and noisy friend of the Hon.
,T. Stevens but two short years ago, when
suddenly be became lukewarm towards
that great man and his friends-- The colder
he 'grew' towards - them; tlukafO t raity between
-him and 'the "great coriuptionist" grew
closer and more attractive in thO same ratio.
Whatever his motive may have been, his
treachery to his best friend was soon follow
ed by its reward. When the masses of the
party were about to be betrayed a few weeks
ago by a few of the most unconscionable
political rascals that have ever disgraced a
party, they selected not only some of their
own number, but included Mr. Houston,
also, it was fair to infer that he was in fall
accord with them. Thus-much for his po
litical consistency. We do not understand
what is meant by " scratched - a ticket."
The reader can. -draw such inference there
from 'ILS, suits his fancy. To what he is
pleased to term the " second charge," ho
scarcely knows what to reply, and. takes
good care to dodge the subject. altogether,
and goes to calling us bard. names. _Yon
should recollect, Mr. Houston, that when a
person trains in bad • company, seeking for.
.honors from the people, it is their right to
know what manner of man he is. But why,
all this sensitiveness on your part?, If there
is no " whiskey ring," no one is hurt ; but
from your conduct„tuid_your communica
tion above, no other inference can be drawn
but that there is such a ring, and that you
are aware of the fact, and - dread the infamy
which you know must attach to those who
belong to it. We learn that you have blus
tered no little about this matter, and have
mentioned others in connection with it.
You also make allusion to "gentlemen
about the SrY office." We can assure yon
that we are able to take care of ourselves,
and are perfectly responsible, at all times,
for all the editorial matter that appears in
these columns. Now, Mr. Houston, you
are quite welcome to all the honor you have
,gained by your letter. We leave you to the
tenderembraces of your WO tild-be colleague
to Chicago. .„

Nothing New Under the Nun
Folks generally believe that the business
of cleaning'boots on the steeets, by boys, is
a new institution, or of late origin, at least
not more than ten or fifteen years introduc
tion. If any one will read "Trivia, or the

that at least as early as the year

Our Washiragtou Correspondence.
WAsmNoTorz, Fob. 27th; 1863.
Ha.lmmo :—The " City of Magni
ficent Distances" is in a great ferment, at
the present writing; but owing to the in
significance of some of the parties concern
ed, the "ferment" does not exactly "shake
the Nation to its center."' Doolittle said to
"his Accidency," only yesterday: "The'
eyes of the whole world are upon you?"
(What good eyes the world must have to
see him.) Not exactly ; the eyes of the
whole world are upon the United States
Senate and House, who are going through
Andy Johnson and his horde of rebel
sympathizing office holder's, iii - the Artp - st
"red hot" manlier imaginable. When-
Johnson issued his orders to Gen. Thomas
to take possession of the War Office, ad in
terim, and again sought to oust Secretary
Stanton after he had been reinstated by the
Senate of the United States, and in direct
antagonism to their resolution, he put his
foot in it ; that was the last feather wanting
to break his Accidency's back. When the
Senate held back from the Impeachment
question, on the ground that they did not
feel that they had sufficient reason to im
peach him, they were only laying this trap
for Andy. They were morally certain when
they reinstated Stanton that it would end
as it has, and the prompt arrest of the
would-be Secretary is an evidence that they
were prepared for this issue. You have,
perhaps, seen the characteristic letter (?)
written by Charles Sumner, to Stanton, on
Saturday last. As it is not very lengthy I
will re-produce it for the benefit of your
readers: _
SEAT CHAMBER, "Feb. 22..1,1868
MEI
Sincerely Yotirs,
Ciuntrs
Secretary Stanton took the advice and

On Monday morning, 24th-inst., -C
Thomas again visited Stanton, and address
ed him in these terms:
"Mr. Stanton, I have this morning again
received orders front the President. direct
ing me to take charge of the War Depart
ment and therecorca thereof, and discharge
the duty of Secretary of War, ad interim.
In obedience to that order, sir, here to
take charge of the Department and assume
the duties of Secretary of War, act interior."
Air. Stanton replied, " I do not acknowl
edge the authority of the President to give
any such order, and refuse to surrender the
Department to yon. Yon will proceed to
your room, sir, and discharge the duties as
Adjutant General of the Army.
General Thomas replied, " L will not do
so, sir. I have been ordered by the Presi
dent to discharge the duties of Secretary of
lVar,ad interim, and I will obey that order."
Many exciting reports have been in cir
culation since Saturday, as to the part to be
taken by the military hereabouts, in the
difficulty between the President and Con
gress. It was currently reported yester
day, that the 12th Regiment, Colonel Wal
lace, was to be employed to enable General
Thomas to take military possession of the
War Department—that General Thomas
was then to get himself arrested under the
Civil Tenure Act, for the proceeding; and
pardoned by the President before trial,
under the President's pardoning powers.
On Saturday, Andy sent for _General
• Emory, who einnenandsithe Depart a ie
Washington, and -whose co-opera
therefore, doubtless regardedas a vcry im
portant adjunct to his scheme. Had -Gen
eral Emory consented to become his tool, it
is not likely that we should have heard any
of the pacific talk to which we are now
treated; at least nutil an attempt had been
made to use stronger measures. But he
was too good a soldier, and too loyal a citi
zen to lend himself to Andy's purpose, and
it is even said that he informed the Presi
dent of his position in the somewhat blunt
expression, " You can't use me." Andy
tapped the wrong barrel that time.
It is understood that the commanding
officers of the troops within the Depart
ment of Washington have all had their at
tention called to the law, and been remind
ed of their duty thereunder. It is stated
that the President sent for Colonel Wallace,
commanding the 12th Infantry, but found
him as incorruptible as General Emory,
The only encouragement he has met with,
so far as I can hear, is from the venerable
Secretary of the Navy. This "old man of
the sea with characteristic officiousness,
has tendered to the President the service
of the Marines located in this city, of which
there are about four hundred, under com
mand of General Zeilin, an officer who is in
accord with Congress. All things consider
ed, circumstances seem very unfavorable
for a'rasort to force against the Secretary of
-War, if Andy really entertained such It.cle
sign. lie, (Andy,) sent in to the Senate,-en
Monday, the nomination of Thomas Ewing,
Sr., to be Secretary of War.

since the most exciting periods of the war.
It was found necessary this morning, for
the preservation of order, and to prevent
the windows and nassages from being en

Philadelphia Correspondence.
PHILADELPIIIA, Feb. 2611, 1868
DEAIt SPY is hardly necessary to
state that there has been great. excitement
in the city for the past few days. All over
the laud, the news of our accidental Presi
dent's last act in the attempted removal of
the Secretary of -War, has aroused the peo
ple to a true sense of his defiant opposition
to the legislative part of the Government,
and intense interest in the afthirs of State
prevails everywhere. History is being
made among as with lightning quickness
.in these day-14, and there seems -to litt,no end..
to startling deeds' and unexpected events: -
What we are coming to, and what the bear
ing of these rapid changes on, our future
history will be, are questions which may
well cause us to pause and reflect. But the
die has been cast; the President has again
defied the power of Congress; and some
blow must be struck for the cause of truth
and good government. Doubtless while I
ant writing this, our loyal Representatives
In Congress have already' taken the pre-.,
liminary measures which will lead to ,a
speedy removal of the usurper. The down
fall ot this trerteherous man, we hope and
believe, will bring peace to our laud—and
the South, seeing their last prop gone, will
the sooner come back to us, accept of our
- terms, and be again received' into our fold.
May, we not hope that the overruling hand
of providence will speedily bring about
such a-happy state of affairs?
-Washington's birthday was.pretty gener
ally observed as a holiday here, although
not half so strictly as in times that are past.
Many strangers were'attracted to the city
on this account, and they together with the
liberated working-people, made our streets
present a lively appearance. It has been
said. that Philadelphia is noted for its hand
' some.young men, Baltimore for its beauti
fulyoung ladies, and ,Now York fora slight
sprinkling of both; but one would think
from the array of charming faCes and
'forms,' aided by- the attractions of the
present' style of dress,--which , ",.the--fatrm
presented on that afternoon, that. Thillider" . ,
phis could easily compete - with Baltiniore
for the palm, in this - respect. - •
- The design or the ,now Masonic Temple;
which was inserted in_ my last letter, does,
-not seem .to give, general satisfaction,'
Letters on this sill:deep from practical arid
amateur architects have frequently appear
ed in -oar daily, papers ' and their general
tone is-that .01 dislike for:it. One writer.
thinks that the building will be a disgraCe
to the city in'point of architectural beauty;
another, that the s alty should' not' permit
Such a design to-be used ; , and still another,
that ri
at only-Masons but _every ono else
should he' interested ou `the - subject„, 'and
Vat ; whoever has' the improvement ofthe
city at-heart, should freely state his like' or
dislike - for it; and-suggest improvements.,
I 'I do mot :profess to knoW anything, about
:designing, but of this I am sure, I bat - UM
Immense amount of money which it is pro
.
Posed to spend upon it, should' give,to the
city one of the most handsome structures
ever erected, ono that will be an- ornament
to it, and an attraction to strangers.
Some of your readers, who have been in
the city, have, perhaps, noticed the tine
chrome-lithograph portrait of Gen. Grant,
now-in Earle's window. IC is one of the
finest chromes I have ever seen, and
.judg
fag from photographs, as exact a iikenese;
of General us coald be produced. lie
is sitting in Itlir in an easy and graceful
Manner, dressed in regimentals, and the
expression of his face is not at all strained,
but very characteristic. Those who wish
to - secure a good likeness of our future
President, would do NVell. to wall and see it.
The last readings of Charles Dickens in
this city, were not nearly so well attended
as the first, and it is said there were four
hundred vacant seats on the last two occa
sions. Tickets were to be purchased at
fifty cents,' and speculators- lost a gre - at
amount on their investments. The manner
in which the nakir of speculation was man
aged has at last leaked out.' A New Yorker
bought all the seats of Concert Hall before
the day of sale, sold a certain number from
the box-office, and reserved a great quantity
which were distributed for-sale at
stands and bookstores, so that during tae
first readings, be must have made at least
seventy-five per cent. on the original in
vestment.
I am rejoiced to hoar of the improrements
in Columbia. The extension of streets, and
the opening up of new ones, the numbek
in4 of houses and corner signs of streets,
lead one to think you are fast becoming a
city. Doubtless we shall hear ere long of a
letter-delivery, and of the_ introdnetion of
street ears. Truly y ours,

Never has there been a greater depression
in business matters than et present. and
never was there a greater exertion to revive
the stagnation, than is now displayed by
the merchants and business men of this
metropolis.. Domestic goods of every des
cription are again —on the rise,' , ' and there
is some excitement among buyers, in con
sequence. Wholesale deakirs seem willing
to sell, notwithstanding the cry or higher
prices, and everything moves on in a strict
ly business-like manner, With hopes that
the spring trade will make all t hings right,
when it fairly opens—the time of which
will be about the middle of March Or the
first of April. Heaven grant their predic

in the Court of Quarter Sessions, during

who wish to know the particulars may find
them in the pages of the Pollee Gazette, or

custody of her - children or not, remains
now with the decision of the Judge, as two
of the ablest lawyers of this city have
already argued the case before him. It is
hoped by many that the children may re
main with the father, as the mother appears
to be zees wc// RtnoW)l cur aot capable of train

A plain tatement of facts. I inherited Scrofula
and many of my relations have died of it- In latin
any case was frightful. Tumors and ulcers spread
until in 35.11, under the advice of any physicians I
went ..Avon Springs. I received nn benefit—tried
every medicine and did everything 1 colld. I had
to rest any arm on a cushion, and had not been able
to raise it to any hood for over a year. The dis
charge from Iwo ulcers was nearly a pint a day.
Amputation was recommended ; but.pronounced
dangerous. 1 could not sleep. and any sufferings
were intolerable. .1 friend brought me an English
physician who applied a salvo with which he said he

hospitals in England. It commenced to relieve; 1
persisted in its use; it finally effected a pofccl awl

or your kidneys frequently get out of order? Is your
urine sometimes think, nuilty. or Ilocky, or Is it ropy
on settling? Or does a thick scum rise to the lop?
Or is a sediment at the bottom after it has stood
awhile? Do you lutes spells of short breathing or
dyspepsia? Are your bowels constipated? Do you
hate spells of fAinting or rushes of blood to the be a d?
Is your memory immrsred? Is your mind constantly
dwelling upon this sun jcet ? Do von feel doll, listless,

any little thing make you start or jump? Is your
sleep broken or restless? Is the lustre of your eye
as brilliant? The bloom ell your eheek as bright?
Do you enjoy yourself in society as well? Do you
pursue your business with the same energy? Do
you feel as much confidence In yourself? Are your
spirits dull and tagging, given to fits of melancholy?
it so, do not lay it to your liver or dyspepsia: nave
roc restless nights? Your back weak, your knees
amok, and have but little appetite, and you attribute
thitt to dyspepsia or liver-complaint?
Now, leader, self-almse, tonerel discuses badly

men aro always these tt hose generative organs ore

plain of being melancholy, of nervousness, or palpita
tion of the heart. They are never afraid they cannot
succeed in business; they don't become a n d and dis
couraged; they are always polite and pleasant in the
company of ladies, and look you and them right in
the taco—none of your downcast looks or any- other
meanness about them. I do not mean those who
keep the organs inflamed by running to excess.
These n all not only ruin their constitutions, but also
those they do business it ith or for.
Flow many men from badly cured diseases, from
