The bounty bill which passed Congress provides that every soldier who was dis charged by reason of " expiration of term of serti ice " shall be held to have com pleted his full term of enlistment, and be entitled to a bounty accordingly. Also that the widow, minor children or parents in the order named, of any soldier who shall have died after being honorably dis charged, shall be entitled to receive the additional bounty to which such soldier - would be entitled if living. All claims for bounty under the act of July, 1866, shall be void unless presented prior to De cember 1, 1869. Fifteenth. Amendment. Pennsylvania, through her Legislature, has ratified the constitutional amendment conferring the right of the ballot on all classes of the people of this Country-. Well dOne, old Keystone of the National arch. Whatever may be the final result, you cannot reproach yourself for having failed in your duty towards ,citizens of this county. Let it be remembered that every Copperhead in the Legislatute voted against this juEt measure. The following States have ratified the Amendment : Kansas, Missouri, West Virginia, Wisconsin, Maine, Arkansas, Louisiana, Nevada, Illinois, Michigan, South 'Carolina, Pennsylvania. It has been rejected by poor little Del aware. Wo . rneu Suffrage. In this State, the question of whim' holding office is about to be given a prac tical solution, without touching at all upon the ground taken by those opposed to or indifferent about woman suffrage. Miss Maria L. Sanford, a youu,g - lady who has been teaching a public school in Chester county, is urged for County Superintend ent of Common Schools. There is noth ing in the laws of this State preventing a woman from holding the office, and she is strongly supported for the position. There can.be no just grounds of opposi tion to her on account of sex, attainments and efficiency being the only requirements, and we hope she may be elected if, as we are assured, she possesses rare executive abilities. • Nearly Finished. The gap between the approaching ends of the two great Pacific railroads, has been reduced at the last accounts to eighty odd miles. So that their final junction and completion of the entire route from Omaha to Sacramento, can not be delayed -many weeks now. The space yet to be built lies along the northern shores of the reo.tSalt Lake, where mostof the country is as level as a floor. It is not probable that there is:maclig Any, snow to delay or embarrass the work which will be pushed on from both ends with the accelerated ac tivity with which race horses make the last few jumps before reaching the goal. The Congressional Committee, we believe, has settled or aie settling the - dispute in regard to the point.of junction, so that we need fear no delay on that account. Al together, it is safe to predict that April and not July will first see the trans-con tinental iron hand joined, and the great est engineeiing triumph of the century, perhaps of all Past time, coMpleted. /the Spaniards—Outrages on Ameri 4enat citizens and the American Flag. .

It was once a question down South about the right of officers to hold negroes ; now the point is, have the negroes a right to hold offices. A DEMOCRATIC Member of the Legis lature of Indiana is reported to have bought a plow with his " stationery," and a silk dress•for his wife with his allotment of " postage stamps." HON. HENRY D. NoottE, having re ceived his commission, cn Thursday, as Collector of the Port of Philadelphia, immediately filed his bonds. His sureties are James Steel, Chas. F. Norton, Joseph W.

A learned French naturalist,lsidore Geoffrey Saint Hilaire, puts them in the order Ad msitaires, as belonging to the family Ho nomphalians, and tribe Xiophopage, in his Dictionary of Anomalies. • HORRIBLE crimes were committed at the village of Dolce Aqua, North Italy, caused by the enforcement of the grist tax. The population rose ce 7 ncusse and killed the Mayor. Ifis head was then mounted on a pike and paraded through the streets. During the same day twelve of the muni cipal councilors were assassinated. Tiii working-miners of the anthracite region of Pennsylvania have organized an association, .or "General Council," to which is committed the supervision of the interests of that branch of labor. A journal has been projected, and is to be published soon as the needful arrange ments can be completed. Six counties are represented iu the Council, and others, included in that coal field, may be added. When any four of these counties vote for a suspension, the Council will order a general strike for six months. White Pine—The Other Side of the Picture. -A. gentleman writing, from White Pine gives the annexed doleful narrative for the benefit of those meditating a visit to that country. If White Pine is only half as bad as these accounts aver, it is un questioubly a first-class place—to keep away from : "This is ono of the roughest countries I hero ever met in my travels; it does noth ing but snow, freeze and blow perfect hur ricanes all the time. I have not seen a warm or fine day for the last six weeks. Good claims are few hero and the population is large. There is already a great amount of suffering hero because the mass of the pop ulation cannot get employment until the snow and ice thaws so as to allow prospect ing. A great many San Francisco merchants have lost money here; the market is glut ted with goods of all kinds although freights are enormous. Chicago has drummers here and next summer will compete with California for the trade of this State. I can not advise any to come here, Last Tues day night, at Treasury City, 9,000 feet above the level of the sea, tents, fences and build ings were carried away by the winds. I meet many poor cusses iu the street on crutches, who have been disabled by the frost. The fact is this is the roughest country I ever saw. There are very rich deposits of silver hero, but so far no true dinned fissure vein or lode has been dis covered. These deposits lie on a limestone base, mixed with reddish cement, spar and quartz." , PRESIDENT GRANT and family are now finally installed in the Executive man sion. The interior of the building has been very handsomely refitted, repaired and refurnished,, and it is about to be adorned and embellished with statuary and other works of art, in' which it has been greatly deficient. Among the prom inent works of art are full sized Indian figures in bronze, which are intended to he placed in the hall in the rear of the main entrance; beautiful statuettes of Washington and his hatchet; Franklin and his whistle; William Tell and his son; Napoleon at confirmation ; Lincoln, and one representing freedom, by Rosetti. All will be placed in appropriate places in the East Room and the reception rooms. Adjoining, the Blue Room is to have a splendid*Louis XVI, clock, with Roman lamp in ormolu and gilt. The Red Room will have a real Sevres vase, with hand some gilt finish. Other portions of the mansion will he decorated in like manner. A silver service of plate, to ho used at state dinners, has also been purchased to replace the service purchased in France by Consul Lee in Monroe's administration. Mrs. Grant haativen her personal super vision to the refurnishing of the White Muse. She was warmly attached to the residence which she has just left; and remarked a few days since that she should go to the White House with reluctance. Affairs in Cuba. The President seems determined to pro tect our interests in the West India waters during the present unsettled state of af fairs in Cuba. Admiral „Hoff, cOmmand-- ing the North. AtlanifeSquadron, has now six vessels in his command, viz., the Con toocook, carrying 13 guns; the Narragan set, 5 guns; the Gettysburg, 9 guns; the Nipsie, 6 guns ; the Penobscot, 5 guns ; and the Yantis, with 7 guns. The Sem inole, and Galena were ordered, on Saturday last, to be sent to him ; and the Tuscarora, 10 guns, and the Rear serge, 7 guns,. from the South Pacific Squadron, are , also ordered to join his. These assignments incur no additional ex pense to the Government, as they aro merely transfers of vessels already in cow • mission. Orders were on Monday, sent to the Various Navy-Yards to telegraph to the Department immediately the arrival of several war vessels now on their way • homeward, that they may not be disman tled, but kept in readiness for recommis sion. Admiral Davis, commanding the South Atlantic Squadron, has been ordered to bring home the Guerriere and report for duty at the DepartMent. The Guer riere is one of the largest and most expen sive vessels in the navy, and the intention is to send in her place one of smaller caliber. Davis is also ordered to furnish free trans portation on a Government vessel to •any citizens of the United States who may now bb voluntary exiles in Brazil. This last order creates some comment, and is not understood. It is probable that by exiles the Department means Southerners who exiled themselves after the Rebellion" was put down. A rousa woman in Montana is charged with putting on airs when she refuses to go to a ball bare-footed. Two ladies in Lancaster, Massachusetts, lately started out with petitions; one for signatures asking the Legislature to give women the privelege of voting, the other praying•the Legislature. to allow women , to remain in their present sphere. The latter ran ahead, 26 to L PRESIDENT JOIINSON, during his term of office vetoed eighteen bills, of which fourteen became laws by a two-thirds vote in their favor in both houses of Congress. Six bills were also submitted to him for approval within ton days •of the end of tho session, and failed to become laws by the non-action of the President. Sixteen bills became laws in consequence of not being returned within ten days. The Prize Ring. The prize fight between Allen and McCool will scarcely eventuate in a satis factory determination of their merits, con sidering that nothing but pecuniary mo tives prompt the backers. It is apparent that prize fighting has now dwindled to a mere money speculation, and the sooner pugilists and their supporters turn to honest modes of living the better. The several legislatures throughout the States are beginning to adopt such measures as will finally check pugilistic encounters. Among others a bill has been passed In Michigan providing that any person who shall hereafter be a party to or engage in a prize fight, or any othe rfi P h t in in the , tare of a prize fight, in that State, or who shall aid or abet therein, shall, on convic tion thereof, be -punished by imprison ment in the State Prison for a term not exceeding five years, nor less than one year, or by a fine not exceeding $2,000, nor less than $lOO, or by both such fine and imprisonment, at the discretion of the court. It also promises severe punish ment for trainers and all persons interested in any way in pugilistic exhibitions. Record cont. Strong Company• The National Life Insurance Company, which received its charter from the na tional Congress in July last, has already made its record in unmistakable charac ters. With its agencies as yet only in pro cess of organization, it has, as we learn, issued insurance toma amount exceeding seven million dollars. This we think is a very marked success—it is so much need ful work well done. The company does a strictly cash' busi ness as being in its judgment the simplest and best for both the'insurer and insured, and it never complicates its affairs with either notes, loans, or dividends, and thus leaves no door open to misapprehensions or disappointment in the future. While th principle of " so much insurance for so much money" is rigidly adhered to, and every policy has thus a fixed and de terminate value, all accumulations that might otherwise be declared as dividends at some future time,are discounted in ad vance, and the exact pro rata is counted in with the amount of each policy whenit is issued. Managed by men of the highest finan cial ability and undoubted integrity, pro tected by a large paid up cash capital, atiel possessing all the elements that have given success to other similar enterprises, we should expect this would become one of the most successful institutions of its kind. A Lover in n Closet. A. short time since a very enterprising young merchant, of Lancaster city, Pa., who is the happy possessor of a wife as beau as the heart could desire, had. occasion to visit New York. lie was gone but a short time, and returned sooner than expected. Reaching home at an hour when the gray of the morning was mingled with the shades of night, he, of course, found the family all in bed. Proceeding directly to his wife's apartment, he rapped for admission, at the same time announcing who ho was. At the mention of his name he thought he detected a smothered exclamation of surprise; and then some one got hurriedly from the bed and sought refuge in a closet adjoining his bedroom. All this he hoard distinctly as ho waited in the cold, with the demon of jealousy thugging away at his heart. There was some one in his wife's room. There could be no doubt of that ; and that some one had sought refuge in the closet was equally clear. Who else could it be than a lover? Mad with jealousy, furious and in dignant, he could scarcely wait for the door to be opened, when he burst into the room and made for the closet. His wife inter fered and begged that he shouldn't open the door concealing this disturber of do mestic peace. He dashed her aside furiously, but she clung to the tails of his coat. The strain made upon those useful appendages at last compelled them to give way, and the angry benedict threw wide open the door of ..the closet ; and lo ! instead of the cun ning liberation, his astonished. eyes rested upon one of the prettiest girls imaginable. She was passing the night with his wife; and trying to avoid meeting him in disha bille, brought about a rather embarrassing denouement. The gentleman, however, it may be as welll to state, prosecuted his searches no further, and, instead, made a hasty:retreat. State Items. Af a shooting match .at-PittsfieldiWarren county, on the 19tb ;nit, two young Inca named, the one Smith and the other Buell, had a' scuffle about .a gun, in which the weapon was accidentally discharged,- the bull passing through Smith's heart, killing him instantly.

SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP - - - - - - - - Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, mil cure Con sumption. Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, if taken according to directions. They are all three to be taken at the seine time. They cleanse the stomach, 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 dealt ; 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. To these three medicines Dr. J. IL. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pul monie Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the limes, nature throws it off by an easy expectoration, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a slight cough will throw it elf, 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 Pnlmonic 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 starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved; the stools will show what the Pills can do; nothing has ever been invented except calomel (a deadly poison which is very dangerous to tree ex cept trite great cure), that will unlock a gull-bladder and start the secretions of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills. Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent causes of Consumption. Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and alterative, and the alkali in the Seaweed, which this preseeption is made of, assists the stomach to throw out the gastric juice, to dissolve the food with the Pulmonic 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 t they give medicine to stop the cough, to stop chills, to stop night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they de range the whole digestive powers, locking up 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, Catarrh, Canker, Ulcerated Throat, un less the liver and stomach are made healthy. If a person nes consumption, of course the lungs are in some way diseased,either tubercles, 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 user have lost their power to make blood out of food. Now the only chance is to take Schenck's th.ee medicines, wh tch will bring up 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, t he lungs commence to heal up, and the limiest gets fleshy and well. This is the only way to cure consumption. When there is no lung disease,-and only - Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed Tonic nod Mandrake Pills are sufficient without the Pit !- manic Syrup. 'rake 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 233 pounds, was masted away to a mere skeleton, in the tery last stage of Pulmonary Consumption, his physicians having pronounced his case hopeless and abandoned Win to his fate. Ile was cured by the aforesaid medicines, and since his recovery many thousands sintilarly afflioted have used Dr. Sehencit'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 he is professionally at his principal office, Philadelphia, every Saturday, where all letters for advice must be addressed. He is also professionally at No. 32 Bond Street, New York, every other Tues day, and at No. 33 Hanover Street, Boston, every other Wednesday.

Inrerute cases of Scrofulous dises. se. where the system seemed saturated with corruption, have been purified and cured by it. Scrofulous atfections and disorders, which were aggravated by the scrofulous conttun ination until they were painfully afflicting, have been radically cured in such great 1111111- bets in almost every section of the country that the public scarcely need to be informed of its virtues or uses. - - - - Scrofulous poison is one of the most destruc tive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the constitution, and invites the attack of en feebling or fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it seems to bleed In fection throughout the body, and then, on some favorable occasion, rapidly develop -into one or other of its hideous forms, either on the surface or among the vitals. In the latter, tubercles may be suddenly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tumors formed in the liver, or it shows its presence by eruptions on the skin, or foul ulcerations on some part of the body. Hence the occasional use of a bottle of this Sar saparilla is advisable, even when no active symptoms of disease appear. Persons afflicted with the following complaints generally find Immediate relief, and, at length, cure, by the use of this Sarsaparilla: St. Anthony's Fire, Rose or Yzyslpelas, 'letter, Salt Rheum, Scald Head, Ringworm, Sore Eyes; Sore Ears, and other eruptions or visible forms of Scrofulous dis ease. Also in the more concealed forms es Dys pepsia, Dropsy. Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy - , Neuralgia, and the various Ulcerous affections of the muscular and nervous systems. Syphilis or Venereal and Mercurial Diseases are cured by it, though a long time Is required for subduing these obstinate maladies by any medicine. But long continued use of this medi cine will cure the complaint. Leucorrluea or Whites, Uterine Ulcerations, and female Dis eases, are commonly soo n relieved and ultimate ly c.red by Its purityingand Invigorating effect. Minute directions tor each e...se are found In our Almanac, supplied gratis. Rheumatism and Gout, when caused by accumulations of extra neous matters in the blood, yield quickly to it, as also Liver Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or Inflammation of the Liver, and Jaundice, when arising, as they often do, from the rank ling poisons in the blood. This Sarsaparilla is a great restorer for the strength and vigor of the system.

This opening will certainly lake place early this season. Besides a donation from tile Government of 12,800 acres of land per mile, the Company, is en titled to a subsidy in U. S. Bonds on its line as completed and accepted, at the average rate of about 020,500 per mile, according to the difficul ties encountered, for which the Government takes a second lien as security. Whether sub sidies are given to any other companies or not, the Government will comply with all its contracts with the Union Pacific Railretul Com pany. Nearly the whole amount of bonds to wilich the Company will be entitled have al ready been delivered. FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS 13y Its charter, the Company Is permitted to issue Its own FIRST MORTGAGE BONDS to the seine amount as the Government Bonds, and so more. These Bonds are a First Mortgage upon the whole road and all Its equipments. They have thirty years to run, at six per cent. and, by special contract, both PRINCIPAL AND INTEREST ARE PAYABLE IN GOLD. rrhe U. S. Supreme Court has recently decided that this contract is in all respects valid and of legal obligation. Such securities are generally valuable in pro portion to the length of time they have to run. The longest six per cent. gold interest bonds of the U.S. (the Ws) will be clue in 12 years, and they are worth 112. If they had thirty years to run, they would stand at not less than 125. A perfectly safe First Mortgage Bond like the Union Perdido should approach this rate The demand for European Investment is already considerable, and on the completion of the work will doubtless &wry the price to a large premium. SECURITY OF TUE BONDS. It needs no argument to show that a First Mortgage of 520.500 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 $30,000,000 7 and the interest $ 1,300,000 per annum in gold. the present currency cost of this interest is less than 52,500,000 per annum, while the gross earnings for the year ISG3, from way business Only, on an average of less than ":00 miles of road lu operation, were more than FIVE MILLION DOLLARS. The details of which are as follows From Passengers Freight • Express • Mails . • M , seellaneous Government tr00p5....... • freight.. Contractors' men....... material. This large amount is only au indication of the Immense traffic that must go over the through line in 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 Twent; Millions a Year. As the supply of these bonds will soon cease, parties who desire to Invest in them will find it for their interest to do so at once. The price for the present is par and accrued interest from Jan.
