Hon. Oliver J. Maxey.
The priattl. seat in Congress made va
cant by the demise of Hon. Thaddeus
Stevens, bas been filled, as declared by
Gov. Geary, by lion. O. J. Dickey, of
Lancastereity. Mr. Stevens was one of the
few men in this nation fitted for his day
and position. 'When the perfidy of-. A
ndrew, Johnson threatened the oppression'
of the liberties of the people and the wel
fare of the government, Mr. Stevens, with
,- ,an iron will, stood bravely forth as the
':presistent enemy of wrong, and as the
ehampfon in all measures looking to the,
; bettering of , ' nn unknown future.- In this
-capacity, arraigned against every evil with
which- the; times were fraught, actuated
by an hoticity,of purpose that should be
an 'example to coming generations, and
laboring in his position, as no other -man
labored; he died mourned by a grateful
and magnanimoupeople. Into his worthy
and enviable seat, ine name that heads
this article has been called, which is al
ready attracting no little attention through 7
out the world, for .his predecessor was
knavvia and I:opera& in every nook and
corner of the globe. We feel that Mr.
Dickey has been called to a position
second to none, and it is but right that
his capacity should be shown, and that
the public mind, now so curious to know
•or Stevens 11, should be satisfied.
In perusing-our exchanges, we find the
following, from a Washington correspon
dent of the Baltimore Sun, which is a
Denocratic opinion, and way do snore to
appease public anxiety than any informa
tion at our command possible could :
"Among the gentlemen on the floor to
day was Hou. - Oliver J. Dickey, who at
once became an object of interest and cu
riosity by reason of his being the successor
'of Thaddeus Stevens. He does not resem
ble theoffileader cirthe House in any par
ticular physically,nor in many mentally,so
• much as his bitter and uncompromising
radicalism. In this respect Mr. Stevens'
mantle has fallen upon the proper object.
He is a native of Beaver county, Pa., - and
a r son-of Lion John Dickey,. who many
year's ago represented the Beaver district
in Congress. When young he removed to
Lancaster anti entered Mr. Stevens' office
as a law student. After his admission to
the bar lie remained in the same office, and
was Mr Stevens' trusted friend and business
associate until the old malls' death. At the
'Lancaster bar, which numbers among its
members some of the hest lawyers in the
State, be occupies a prominent place, and
has proved n- safe legal advisor, and an
effective advocate before the court and
jury. He was for three years district
attorney for Lancaster county. As a
speaker he is entertainint , but not eloquent,
and gives force and character to all ho
utters, He is small in stature and-in phy
sical frame,. but like his distinguished
predecessor, has great power of endurance.
He - is probably forty years' of age, with
straight, dark hair, tinged hero and there
with gray, has a prominent forehead and a
keen eve."
The above paragraph does our coming
representative only partial justice. 1114%
Dickey's well known intelligence, and
sterling qualities, will makelim a great
power in the halls of COngress. . Lancas
ter would be misrepresented by anyone
that falls far short, of the lamented
Stevens. Hon. 0. J. Dickey is - not that

Delaware.
The name of America has grew° sym
bolic of civilization, but when we read of
the reign of heathen practice Witt now
pervades Delaware, we blush tiOrnow
that a portion of our country is fali,4 its
-tettehiugs, and that its example is perA:torse
to the true instincts and beauties of min
hi-Od It is true, Delaware is insignificant
In size and influence, but when we remem
'ber the barbarous and uncivilized use of
'the whipping post, practiced a few days
rrgci under the authority and sanction of
her_courts., the blood within our veins
curdles, and our heart sinks within us at
such a ehameful' spectacle. A State,
dear readers; that boasts of its soil, cli
mate, and worldly favor, on Saturday last
caused the securing of seven persons to a
post and the application of the lash' to
their bare-backs, as a punishment for petty
offence. Think of it, end of the extent of
-civilization that such typifies! One of
: the seven subjected to such a merciless :hid
Inhumane ordeal, was a man of seventy
- years! Another was -placed in a' pillory
and there exposed to public gaze until
• entirely helpless from the cold, and then
received twenty lashes! Two boys twelve
.years of age, were subjected to like abuse!
This is not all-of it either, fur •each indi
vidual was returned to prison to remain
six -months, at the expiration of which
time tbpy are to be let at large, and earn
pelted. to -wear a convicts,dress for another
half `year'. Edell is a part of the reproach
- ful history 'of Delaware,, and such will
.•
continue to blot the fair pages of the .an
nals-of, civilization, until a remedy is found
:outside -of the party that now holds sway
iethat:abject, heartless, degraded, rebel
liOus,commerivrealth,
It is useless to recur to the past history
of 'DeleWare, unless it is to add greater tol
erance to greater evils. Delaware has
• .ever been a turbnlent, ignorant and out
side issue. Though she is, represented in
thirOonstellation of stars that adorn ;the
baduer of freemen, yet she has ovveri -de
served to enjoy a clear title to the immu
nities and honors of• sister States. her
people oppose education, and ;iltat talent
she has as the gift of. Heaven, lies dormant
and avails nothing. She tolerates wrong
in;every hire, and 'her sparsely settled
kipting presses, that sliould'have a grand,
influence for good, are manned by timid
minded persons, who fearing popular will,

The Tenure of Office Bill:
It will be retis . 'CinliereciAltat the security:
of goo& ; Goverisment caused the enadtmen t
by Congress n:titlong, ttince ! .of!ant.artiele
thel*TehureieflGlfice,3pl, which
wlis in tended - to' check tlie'xeCklelipes.S
an overfira4itinus Executive, and; to se
curo to the deserving and efficient a pre
iiiraticeav di' the — etnnina - guileverf
sans in the ,disbursing of .places of honor
oud trust. At the time of the adoption of
such a measure, no little was the array of
argumentiZclillged in, some contending
that the office of President was thus neu
tralised, while others averred that his'
power must be curtailed, that harmony
in the various branches of Government be
secured. We were of the latter class, and
now in the face of a change of Executives,
our opinion remains the same. This
is • not the 'ease with many of the- early
friends of the bill, for the expedie'ney of
its repeal is now being earnestly canvassed.
When the measure, was adopted we studi
ed it in all its phases and bearings. It
matters not who is President, he certainly
will have his individual prejudices, which
to a certain extent. influence his actions.
These-prejudices, unguarded, are danger
ons. Then again, official position brings
temptations, and no one man can
,evince
the same firmness, nor judge of the virtue
of an -officer and the necessities of the hour,
:with the wisdom and discretion of a body
of men. If the Tenure of office bill Was
once just and expedient, as we believe,
- it
is now so, and ever will be. A change of
President does not change the principle,
and truth must not bow to circumstances.
Congress is more directly of the people,
and can, therefore, best represent the
people's will, consequently we oppose the
repeal of the bill, and urge upon, every
Republican the duty of a -ccii;lial aequi
escisee. We hope -to see the day when
only merit will be rewarded, for until
then corruption in high places will
abound.

TuE Discuss - 16N of the proposition to
secure suffrage by national amendment
educes entliusir:stic favor everywhere, and
encounters no serious opposition, among
RepUblican journals. We could quote
from five prominent and influential news:
papers, published in widely sepetate cities
—New York, Cincinnati, Nashville and
Detroit—all of which not only. approve,
but earnestly urge, the new amendment.
Whisky Stamps.
The Superintendent of the Printing
Division at the Treasury Dcyartmcnt, C.
B. McCartee, Esq., has just completed the
first lot of whisky stamps, Ordered under
the new Internal Revenue Law passed at
the last session. These stamps recom.
mended by the Ways and Means ..Com
mittee, were ordered by the Revenue De
partment, and have been distributed to
the Collectors throughout the country.
About two millions were printed, and put
up in books of three hundred each, the
denominations being from-twenty up to
one hundred and eighty gallons. The
StaniTs are about two and. one-quarter
'inches wide and four and one-half inches
long, including the cupons attached. The
stamps are for barrels or packages of
twenty, thirty or forty gallons, each one,
having nine cupons attached, so that when
the gauger finds a barrel containing
twenty-six gallons,
.he takes a twenty
gallon stamp, with six cupons attached,
leaving the other three cupons in the
book.' Hence, when he comes to settiO
with:the Revenue Department, he makes
return of•the number of gallops of whisky
stamped, and produces the old book with
what capons he has remaining, each of
which representS fifty cents, or make the
satue , good in money. Mr. MeCartee is
now engaged in - executing the second or
der, -which isifCr — ihiriSiliallon stamps, it
being found that a much larger number of
that denomination is required ,
-Tim general trade of the country is
steadily increasing in volunic and activity;
production is expanding at the West and
the South, and in all. the manufacturing
States; and the consequence is that vvlien
the crops_are being...marketed and the'sea;
son's goods a're being actively distributed,
there is a much niore active general Cir
culation of currency than during the fate
contraction of business.
SECRETARY 31 COULLOCII, though a
person, no doubt of immense mind, is
capable of descending to very dirty work.
Thug, in the Philadelphia:Custom House
there were sonic -Republicans, whom the
Democratic wire pullers in that city wished
to oust. As Collector Cake would not , do
it, they get McCulloch to send an order
to reduce the force, and specifying that
particular individuals-11 Republicans,
and 1 Democrat—who were to be dis
charged!. But the Collector, being confi
dent the' matterjs his busioess, and net
-that of the Secretary,.-discharged twelyo
of his own designation, and so wrote to
Washington.
Christ iiindlein.
We have for many years observed that
our' Cotemporaries 'of Philadelphia and
othe'r places of equal celebrity in noticing
the approach of Cbristinas, always write
about "Criss Kringle," &c. Now i we
beg leave to say that tilde 'is no such
thing as Criss Kringle. That there is
"Christ Kindlein" meaning the "infant
Christ," and that by corruption and igno
rance of the German language it has hem
distorted into ".Criss Xringle." Lately a
'gentleman from the interior undertook to
correct the "Press" by, calling it "Christ
Kifidel,"—which is'another corruption of
Christ Kindlein. -I.f gentlemen will look
into Adler', German .Dictionary for the
word "Christ" they will find the truth of
what we here assert. . -'

merely tantalize them with the hope of a cure

would not wish to assert anytli lug that would do

that although it may be produced from exees-
Sive exhaustion of the powers of life, by Inhale

When reviewing the causes of these distressing
complaints, it is most painful to contemplate
the attendant evils consequent upon them. It
is but simple justice to the subject to enumerate
a few of the - many additional causes which So
largely affect the we, health, and happiness of
•woman in all classes of society, and whielt, con
sequently,-affect more or less directly, the wel
fare of the entire human family. The mania
that exists for precocious education and mar
riage, causes the years that nature designed for
corporeal development to be wasted and perver
ted in the restraints of dress, the early confine
ment of school, and especially in the u ?healthy
excitement of the ball-room. Thus, with the
body half-clothed. and the mind unduly excited
by pleasure, perverting in midnight revel, the
hours designed by nature for sleep and rest, the
work of destruction is half accomplished.
In consequence of this early strain upon her
system, unnecessary effort is required by the
delicate votary to retain her situation in school
at a later day, thus aggravating the evil. When
one excitement is over, another in prospective
keeps the mind morbidly sensitive to impression
while tile now constant restraint of lash ionable
dress, absolutely forbidding the exercise halls
, pensable to the attaitiment and retention of or
gamic health and strength; the exposure to night
air; the sudden change of temperature; the corn
plete prostrationprot limed by excessive dancing,

At last, an early marriage caps the climax of
misery, and the unfortunate one, hitherto so

86(il isfuLig COMPLETED:.:
A limited amount of the First Mortgage Bonds
of the Union Pacific Railroad Company are
offered to the public, as one of the safest and
most profitable Investments.
1. They are a first mortgage upon the longest
and most important railroad in the country.
—.2.-By law they can be_ issued_to_ the _Company_
only as the road is completed, so that they al
ways represent a real value.:'. ; •
Z. Their amount is limite . d bS act of Congress
to Filty Million Dollars, on .the, entire Pacific
line, or au average of less than s3o,ooo'per
4. Hon. E. D. Morgan, of the United States
Senate, and Hon. Oakes Ames, of the United
States House of Representatives, are the trus
tees for the bondholders, to see that all their in
terests are protected.
5. Five Government Directors, appointed by
the President of the United States, are respon
sible to the country ,for the-management of Its
affairs.
O. Three United States Commissioners must
certify that the road is well built and equipped,
and in all respects a lirst-class railway, before
any bonds can be issued upon it.
- 7. The United States Government, len . ds,the
Company its own boilds to the same amount
that the Company issues for which it takes a
second mortgage as security - .
S. As additional aid, it makes an absolute
donation of 12,500 acres of land to the miledying
upon each side of the road. '
0. The bonds pay six per cent, in gold, and the
principal is also payable in gold. ,•
10. The earnings from the local or way busi
ness were Over FOUR. MILLION DOLLARS last
year, which, after paying operating expenses,
was much more than sufficient to pay the in
terest. These earnings will he vastly increased
on the completion of the entire line In 11:0t.
12. No political action can reduce the rate of
interest. It must remain fur thirty years—six
per cent. per annum in gold, now equal to be
tween eight and nine per cent. in currency.
The principal is then payable in gold. If a bond,
with such guarantees, were issued by the Gov
eminent, its - market price would not be less
than from 20 to 25 per cent. premium. As these
bonds are issued - under Government authority
and supervigion, upon what is very largely a
Government work, they must ultimately ap
proach Government prices. No other corporate
bonds aro made so secure.
CASK I PRICES
110 WE
n. The issue will soon be exhausted. The
sales have sometimes been half a million a day,
and nearly twenty millions have already been
sold. About ten millions more may be offered.
It is not improbable that at some Ulm) not far
distant, all the remainder of the bonds the
Company can issue will be taken by some com
bination of capitalists and withdrawn from the
market, except at a large advance. The long
time, the high gold interest, sad the perfect
u
secrity, muS - t make these bonds very valuable
for export.
All the predictions which the officers of this
Company have made in relation to the progress
and business success of their enterprise, or the
value and advance in the price of their securi
ties, have been more than confirmed, and they
therefore suggest that parties who desire to in
vest in their bonds will lind it to their advan
tage to do so at once.
The price for the present is 102 and accrued in
terest at the rate of six per cent. in currency
