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 MM. 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, boat along :with_ the current, and stroll : late.the,growth of original evils,-pad aid -' -oppressing -the weak and febrile, bring-. „Ink entra„le upon lipr : peopldand disgrace] • , `. , iDellware is strongly !camera tic, which -•• explains - her atrocious and unenviable • • -- , 1 ,• • , Giov.:BowNr.nw,:the Won- ohl.ltailical• of Tennessee; will abdicate Abe:, Gab erna iorral- chair aboiitthe 'lst of.

'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. Editor 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. . -' Bills Prepar:ed.

I would not wish to assert anytli lug that would do injustice to the afflicted, but I am obliged to say that although it may be produced from exees- Sive exhaustion of the powers of life, by Inhale ous cmpleyment, unwholesome air and food, profuse menstruation. the use of tea and coffee, and frequent childbirth, it is far oftener caused by direct irritation, applied to the nineetis Mein- Crane of the vagina I tsel r. • 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, must, of necessity, produce their legi Una to At last, an early marriage caps the climax of misery, and the unfortunate one, hitherto so utterly. regardless of the plain dictates and re monstrances of;her delicate nature, becomes ins sabjectnf medical treatment. This Is but a truthful picture of the experience of th ou sands 'of our young women. Long beton: the ability to exercise the fume tionspf the generative organs, they require an "education -of their q:ecullar nervous system, composed of what is called-the tiskue, which is, 'an common 'with- the female- breast-anti lips, 'levidently under 'the control of mental emotions and associations at 'an early period of life; and, as we shall subsequently see, these emotions, orhelt. exceselye.elead. long before "puberity, to habits which sap the very life of their victims ere nature has self-completed their development. riFor Femaloweakness and debility, whites or Lerfebrrliceit, too prdfuse menstruation, exhaus tion, too long continued periods, for prolapsus and bearing down, or prolapsus uteri, we orlbr the most perfect ..pectfle known: 11 ELM BOLL'S COMPOUND EXTRACT OF BUCIW.

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 rum July Ist, and subscript/011S will be received in Columbia by SIMON C.
