IN his address to his fellow-citizens of
Lexingtoa,Ky., last ,Tuesday; Mr. John
Breekinridge'siiid that he took no
more interest in present politics than if
he were " an extinct volcano."
SE_Attr.v 50 bodies have been washed
ashore near the scene of the "Mittie Ste
phens disaster, in jted River, Louisiana.
One lady was identified by two wedding
rings on her fingers, each bearing her
name.
9'u r. town of Laneshoro', Minnesota,had
no existence at all last July. A $35,000
hotel is now building, and the lowest price
for a town lot is $l,OOO. Best of all,
there is a public school, with 95 scholars.
MISS VAN LEW, who rendered the
State name service as a Union spy for
Gen. Grant, in the Potomac army, is to re
ceive the ,appointment of Postmistress at
liichmond, Va. This is looked upon as
a big thing for the women's rights peo
ple.
Tim Detroit papers have a story about
a man with a snake in his stomach. His
name is David Gravel. Two years ago he
swallowed a small snake at a roadside
spring, and the monster has been growing
ever since. Gravel says that nothing but
large quantities of whisky keep it torpid,
otherwise it rises in his throat and chokes
him. His sufferings have been intense,
and he is about to depart fur a Buffalo
hospital to have his tormenter experiment
ed upon with a view to its early ejection.
WE observe that the " delegations" have
begun their attacks on the new President.
One delegation wants to assure him of the
support of one class of citizens; another to
pledge him the support of a certain sec
tion of the country; a third to read at
him a short address, announcing their en
thusiastic support. When Mr Johnson
was inaugurated, weeks of his time were
given up to this business. Squads ofsecond
-class clerks with some ambitious chief of
a bureau at their head, paraded as delega
tions from Pennsylvania, or Ohio, or In
diana, marched in on him hourly, made
speeches at hint, and got iu return furious
repetitions of the hundred-times told story,
that treason was a crime, and traitors
must be punished.' Half a score of hungry
office-hunters from the West would . get
together, announce themselves as a dele
gation of prominent citizens from Dakota,
or Montana, or Arizona, consume an hour
of the President's time, and go masquera
ding for a fortnight through all the
country newspapers as another gratifying
proof received by--Mr. Johnson that the
Country •waS with' him. .
No man in the nation has a keener eye
for tleteting 'humbugs than the new Pres
ident. We expect therefore to see his
doors o;:exiing slowly to these delegation
gentry, and same of them going off pretty
soon with "bees in their bonnets.
DEGRADED indeed must be the party
which bases all its hopes upon the trea
son of its opponents. For months—in
fact, ever since the election of General
Grant—the Democratic press has harped
upon the probability of a betray-el of the
Republican party by Gen. Grant. The
apostasy of Johnson weakened their faith
in human- integrity so much that they
found it impossible to credit the existence
of honor and fidelity anywhere
Grant's inaugural came down upon
their summer dreams like a Texas north
er, freezing their budding hopes and giv
ing them the ague-chill of Fear. " The
debt shall be paid to the utmost farthing,"
said Grant; and the party of repudiation
goes about with nerveless under jaw and
woe-begone countenance. " The best
mode of getting rid of bad laws is to
strictly enforee them," said Grant; and a
howl of rage goes up from the disap
pointed army of Democratic tricksters.
"The laws shall be enforced," said Grant,
and the cry of " tyrant," goes up from
the grand army of thieves and forgers.
Very well. Grant has :pokers in tones
as clear and unmistakable 'as' the the blast
of a War trumpet. Good men take cour
age and bad ones, go howling jato the
nether.shades.. .
Adjournment Needed.
It is a saying worthy of all acceptation,
that the sooner Congress adjourns now the
better. By all accounts the office-seekers
are swarming - in Washington at present
like Moses' frogs in Egypt. They not
only impede and embarrass the Executive,
but they are clogging the, wheels of legis
lative business also. Cortes isms worsted
in battle once in Mexico by the Aztecs
clinging to the legs and arms of his sol
diers, and even to the legs of their horses;
the troopers could neither fight nor move.
In the same way Congress is kept from
transaetiri,g public business--supposing
for the sake of the simile that it deiires to
transact public business -of-importance—
by the clingin l ifpf th:e office-hunters to the -
ledividual members who .composa that
honorable body. They besiege - them in
Isoteis,button-bole them in the Capitol,'
and beg favers of them on the streets.
" They,'! (the Congressmen) says a dis
patch." bar their doors against the army
of comers, they appreach • their lodgings
through "alley ways and by back stair
cases, to avoid the applicants. They seek
refuge in out-of-the-way places, and pass
sleepless highti; because of the 'anxious
throng who besiege them at all hours and
upon occasions;'
To end 'this- sea of, troubles, both for
thesnielvas and for tbe -, adMinis!!ation,
there as bet zinc way—to idjourn as soon
as peesibleand go Lome: That will dis.
perse ttie whole 'office seektog .&19Y.1

• Twitehell, the Murderer.
A Philadelphiarepor ter paid a visit re
cently to Moyamensing Prison, and gained
access to the cell of George S. Twitchell,
Jr., now lying under sentence of death for
taking the life of his mother-in-law, Mrs.
Mary E. Hill. .The cell in which Twitch
ell is confined is neatly though sparsely
furnished. It contains a low .iron cot, a
small table, on which is placed a small se
lection of religious works and papers, a
bouquet of flowers and writing materials.
The prisoner appeared to be in good health
and spirits, lie looked like anything but a
murderer, his manner generally calm,
composed, gentlemanly, and being self
possessed. He insisted upon his inno
cence of the murder, stated that he had a
theory as to who committed the crime, but
did not feel justified in making his suspi
cions public. When asked if he had fully
made up his mind to the worst, Twitchell
said : " The trial being so complete, and
the Court, after so long a deliberation, re
fusing to grant a new one, and the Su
preme Court refusing to grant a writ of
error, all cm:hined to make me give up
all hope that the Governor will interfere
in the matter, and T. have mule up my
mind to suffer the penalty of the sentence
I have received. If lam to suffer death,
I will be perfectly resigned to it as I feel
confident that my innocence will be fully
proved sometime or other, but it may be
years after I am gone."
IME2
PETITIONS are freduently signed by
many persons without the slightest knowl
edge of their contents, and *merely to get
rid of annoying canvassers. It is stated
that several years ago, at Albany, two
members of the iNew York Legislature
were disputing on this subject, when one
of them laid a wager, that within three
days, be could produce a memorial with
one hundred veritable tunnies attached,
askin - g the Legislature to pass a law to hang
one of the most distinguished clergymen
at the State capital. The bet was taken,
and within the time, it is asserted, the
memorial was produced. In this case, it
is very evident that the mernoralists
neither knew nor cared what they had
signed
Mormondom-Items from Salt 'Lalie
City.
From late numbers of the Salt Lake Clt2.
Reporter we clip the following:
=9
The disgusting feature of the Mormon
system is its utter want of charity. Let a
man leave their church, or differ with
them in doctrine, though he do so ever so
honestly and conscientiously, he at once be
comes a target for all the abuse a foul
mouthed priesthood can heap upon him,
while every epithet a vile fancy can sug
gest is applied even to his wife and child
ren. We would naturally think that
woman's character .would be spared in a
Christiana country, that a Church would at
least keep a decent silence where it could
not approve. But let any woman withdraw
from their communion, or exercise her own
God given judgment as to her faith and as
sociations, and the hounds of the Hierarchy
will leave no words unsaid to blast her rep
utation forever. No words in the English
language are harsh enough to fitly charac
terize the meanness of such warfare as this;
and yet it is just what is done in the case of
every young Mormon lady who' thinks for
herself. In one case within our knowledge,
a lady of unblemished life and purity,
whose many virtues and excellencies: are
undoubted, has been permed for years
with this malignant• slander, till half of the
youngllormons of her former acquaintance
are led to believe that she was ruined from
the day she began to associate with the
Gentiles. The Mormon teachers have it in
their power to ruin the reputation and often
to blast the prospects of almost any young
woman brought up among them; and that
they use this power cruelly, basely and un
justly is ono of the darkest stains upon
their social system.

SALT LANE CITY, Feb. 22, MO.—Editor
_Reporter—lL seems to me important to com
municate to you a revelation just received
by one of my Mormon friends. The man
told me all sincerity that Joseph Smith ap—
peared to him in a vision and declared with
emphatic words that Polygamy should be
carried on henceforth and forever on the
female side also ; that is, that any Mormon
woman can take or have sealed to her by
the High Priest of the Latter-day-Saints, us
many husbands as she can support, ttc.
This new revelation seems to be on the
principle that what is sauce for the gander
is sauce for the goose s and, for my part, I
believe it consistent with the Mormon reli
gion. Why not a woman have a dozen hus
bands as well as a hdsband a dozen wives ?
'Yours inquiringly.
SIGNS OF Tun TIMES.
[Brigham Young has compelled Store
keeping saints to paint an eye and a motto,
"Iloillness to the Lord,v over their shop
doors.]
'Ve do not behave in profaning the holy
name of God for the sake of filthy Ipere.
To paint a representation of the Deity in
the form of a man, holding the lightnings in
his right hand and a "dumb watch" in his
left, is in our opinion almost as bad as to
stick "holiness to the Lord" over cheap
calico and decayed codfish.
SO3IE IIAILD QUESTIONS
As to the social evils growing out of
polygamy, incest for example, it is not
even denied, it is rather advocated. We
ding* down this chargo fair and square to
the Mormon papers and speakci•s end dare
them to the proof. And to pat the matter
fairly in issue, we will not argue, but ask
these questions :
1. Are there not many instances in this
Territory where a man is married to the
mother and one, two or three daughters?„;,
:2. Aro there not several men here, each of
whom is married to two or three sisters?
3. Did not one of the forninst men - of the
Church marry a widow, then get her oldest
son sent ou n mission and marry the eon's
wife while he was gone ? liie step-son's
wife?
4. Did not a well-known individual „in
this city marry his half sister, with the con
sent of Brigham Young, and live with •her
as his wife several years ?
5. This not Brigham Young openly Justi
fied such marriage in the pulpit, saying,
"the titne.might come when brother would
Murry their own sisters in order to raise up
a pure pri,cstitood ?"
6. Bid he, or did be not, make substan
tially the saute spatement Fo T-.T.epworth
Dixon, as set forth ip.tlte letter's Nvork on
this country, adding, however, that, he
"kept" that doatrine to himself just now—
it was too strong a doctrine for the people?
7. Flaw not mpn here married their
daughters-in-law, directly contrary to
God's word, its laid down in penteronetny

PETERS' Music/km Motrrut.v.-The March
number of Peters' Musical Monthly is at
hand, and contains some twenty-four pages
of Choice New Music, giving selections
from the most popular wrters, and variety
enough to suit the most fastidious. We
notice, first, a beautiful little ballad, with
chorus, by J. S. Cox, entitled "Left all
Alone," the words of which run as fol
lows : •
"I'm left all alone in my sorrow,
No mother to sooth me to rest."
Then follows a sacred song by George
Leach, entitled "The Lord will. Provide."
Though troubles n=ail, and dangers affright;
Though friends may all fail, and foes all unite;
Yet one thing secures us, whatever betide;
The Scriptures insures us—the Lord will provide."
"Coraline," by the Nation's Song Writer,
Will S. Hays, comes next, the chorus of
which runs as follows:
"Oh! she was fair and gentle as a child had ever
been,
And the Wrest of the angels is cur darling Coro
nae."
This is followed by a sprightly comic
song by T. Brigham Bishop, entitled
Young Widow," and, among other things,
she says,
"She doesn't want a man who stops out all night ••
Or one who drinks brandy, and comes home quite
tight,"
There are also three Instrumental pieces,
namely ; "Pretty as a Pink," Barcarole, by
Mack; "Fleur de The Galop," by Bressler,
and the famous "Grecian Bend March," by
Prevot.
In addition to above, Mr. Peters gives fif
teen pages of choice family reading, and all
for the moderate sum of thirty cents, or $3
per year—over worth of new music ap
pearing in each number. Those of our
musical friends who do not subscribe are
certainly losing a rich treat, as $4O worth of
music cannot be bought every day for such
a small sum. Sample copies thirty cents.

relax the liver, and put it to work; then the appetite
becomes •good ; the food digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow in flesh; the dis
eased matter ripens'. in' the lungs,. and the patient
outgrows the disease and gets well. This is the
only-way to cure consumption.
'lO those three, medicines _Dr. J. H. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pul
monk Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the Inntrs,
nature throws it off by an easy expectoration, for
when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a slight cough
will throw it off, and the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills
must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
so that the Pulnionic Syrup and the food 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.startalreely, and the liver is soon
relieved; the stools will show what the Pills can do;
nothing has ever been invented except calomel (a
deadly person which is very dangerous to use ex
cept vim great care), that will unlock a gall-bladder
and start the secretions of the liver , like Schenck's
Mandrake Pills. '
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
Causes of Consumption.
Schenelc's Seaweed Tonic is 11 gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the alkali in the Seaweed, which
this prescr'ption is made of, assists the stomach to
throw out the gastric juice, to dissolve. the food with
the Piilmonic Syrup, and it is made into good blood
without 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
medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to stop
night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they de
rauige the whole digestive powers, locking tip the se
cretions, and eventually the patient sinks and 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 Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Cauirrli, Canker, Ulcerated Throat, un
less the liver and stomach arc rondo healthy.
Il i a person has consumption, of course the lungs
are in some way diseasecheither luljg roles, abscesses,
bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or the lungs
are a mass of inflammation and fast decaying. In
such cases what must be done? It is not only the
lungs that are wasting, but it is the whole body. The
stomach and liver have lost their power to make
blood out of food. Now the only chance is to take
Schencles three medicines, winch will bring tip a
tone to the stomach, the patient will begin to want
food, it will digest easily and make good blood; then
the patient. begins to gain in flesh, and as soon as
the body begins to grow,the lungs commence to heal
up, and the patient gets fleshy and well. This is the
'only NI ay to cure consumption.
When there is no lung disease, and only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenek's Seaweed Tonic
and Mandrake Pills are sufficient without the Pul
monic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all
bilious complaints, as they are perfectly harmless.
Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed uninterrupted health
for many years past, and now weighs 2-25 pounds,
was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in the very last
stage of Pulmonary Consumption, his physielans
having pronounced his ense hopeless and abandoned
him to his fate. lle was cored by the aforesaid
! medicines, and since his recovery many thousands
similarly afflicted have used Dr. Schenck's prepara
tions with the same remarkable success. Full di
rections accompanying each. make it not absolutely
necessary to personally see Dr. Schenck, unless the
patients wish their lungs examined, and for this
purpose lie is professionally at his principal office,

DEDUCTIONS.
From all of the above we deduce
this one fact, that Oak Hall has ALL the
advantages of any other Clothing Es
tablistiments in the city, and in addi
tion these,
lot—A firm composed of young men of the present
generation, fully in sympathy ith the tastes
of the alay.
2d.—An insight to the wants of the people and an en
terprise to meet these wants, which in seven
years has placed Oak Hall In s position not al
ways attained in experience of twenty-five
years.
3d.—A Building better located, better lighted, better
adapted and newer In all its appointments.
4th.—Workmen, especially Cutters, who are not
only fret, among the beet and most experi
enced, but are artiste in their professions and
couple with good work a stylishness, in which
Philadelphia tailoring has been particularly
deficient.
It is the liberal patronage with which we have
been favored that has enabled us to offer the un
paralleled advantages, and this patronage continued
and extended will Multiply advantages, which we
divide between sur customers and ourselves.

This Company, National in Its character,
offers, by reason of its Large Capital, Low Rates
of Premium and NOW Tables, the most desirable
means of insuring life yet presented to the
public.
The rates of premium, being largely reduced
are made ILS favorable to the insurers as those of
the best Mutual Companies, and avoid all the
complleationsand uncertainties of Notes, Divi
dends and the misunderstandings which the
latter are so apt to cause the Policy-Holders.
Several new and attractive tables are now pre
sented which need only to be understood to
prove acceptable to the public, such as the IN
COME-PRODUCING POLICY and RETURN
PREMIUM POLICY- In the former, the policy
holder not only secures a life insurance,payable
at death, but will receive, if living, after a
period of a few years an amnia/ income opal to ten
per cent. (10 per cent.) of the par of his polity. /n the
latter, the Company agree to return to the assuedd
the total amount of money he has paid in, in addition to
the amount of his policy.
The attention of persons contemplating insur
ing their lives or increasing the amount of ih
surance they already have, is called to the
special advantages offered by the National Life
Insarance Company.

ru± ALL Tim PURPOSES OF .1. LA.X.I.TIVE
Perhaps no one medicine Is so universally re
quired by everybody as a cathartic, nor was ever
any before so universally adopted into use, in
every country and among all classes, as this
mild but efficient purgative PILL. The obvious
reasons for is is, that it Is a more reliable and far
more effectual remedy than any other. Those
who have tried it, know that it cured them;
those who have not, know that it cures their
neighbors and friends, and all know that what
it does once it does always—that it never falls
through any fault or neglect of its composition.
We have thousands upon thousands of certill
cotes of their remarkable ()urea of the following
complaints, but such Mires are known in every
neighborhood, and dye need 'not - publish them,
Adapted to AU ages arid conditions in all cli
mates; containing neither calomel or any de
leterious drug, they may be taken with safety
by anybody. Their sugar coating preserves
them ever fresh and makes them pleasant to
take, While being, purely vegetable no harm can
arise from their use in any quantity.
They operate by their powerful influence on
the internal viscera. to purify the blood and
stimulate It into headthy action—remove the ob
structions of the stomach, bowels, liver, and
other organs of the bes.ty, restoring their irregu
lar action to health, and by correcting, where
ever they exist, such derangements as are the
first origin of disease.:

these Pitts rapidly cure.

-Besides a donation from the Government of
12,300 acres of land,per 'Mlle, the Company is en
titled to a subsidy in U. S. Bonds on its line as'
completed and accepted, at the averhge rate of
about $20,000 per mile, according to the difficul
ties encountered, for which the Government
takes a second lien as security. , _ Whether
eub
sidles arc given to any other companies or not,
the _Government will comply with All Its
cbiiiracts with the Union Pacific Ral!read Com
pany. Nearly the whole amount of bonds
to which the. Company will be entitled have al
ready been delivered.
FIRST. MORTGAGE BONDS
AT PAIL
By Its charter, the Company is permitted to
issue its own FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS to
the same amount as the Government Bonds,
and co more. These Bonds are a First Mortgage
upon the whole road and :1.11 its' equipments.
They have thirty years to run, at six per cent.

Such securities are generally valuable in pro
portion to the length of time they have to run.
'fie longest six per cent. gold interest bonds of
the U. S. (ti Sr..) will be due in 12 years, and
they are worth.ll2. It they had thhtz., years to
run, they would stand at not less than 121. A
perteetly safe First Mortgage Bond like the
'Union Pacific should approach this rate The
demand for European investment is already
considerable, and on the completion of the
work will doubtless carry the price to a large
pre m lu m.
SECURITY OF THE BONDS.
It needs no argument to show that a First
Mortgage of $26,500 per mile upon what for a
long time must be the only railroad connecting
the Atlantic and Pacific States is perfectly se
cure. The entire amount of the mortgage will
be about $.:30,00U,000, and the interest $1,800,000 per
annum in gold. The present currency cost of
this interest Is less than $2,500,C0) per annum,
while the gross earnings for the year 1868, from
way business only, on an average of less than
700 miles of road in operation, were more than
FIVE MILLION DOLLARS.
The details of which arc as follows:

This large amount is only an indication of the
immense traffic that must go over the through
line to a few months, when the great tide of
Pacific coast travel and trade will begin. It is
estimated that this business must make the
earnings of the road from Fifteen to Twenty
Millions a Year.
As the supply of these bonds will soon cease,
parties who desire to invest in them will And It
her their Interest to clo so at once. The price
for the present Is par and accrued interest from
Jan. 1, ill currency.
