Senator Billingfelt. It is with great pleasure ,we observe this sterling : 7 .:Republie.iii is': generally spoken of as likely to be returned to his seat in the State Senate. by, a confiding constituency..- ,He is certainly one• of our best citizens; and is esteemed by all who know. him •as 'a man of the purest integ rity. j-Whilst occupying •a: seat in the Senate during the past three years, he stood firm and true to his convictions of the right. It is rarely indeed, a people are so fortunate in selecting a representa tive who, having been tested and found to be Metal with the true ring, the peo ple should inSiSV 'Upon returning him to a field where he has earned so much credit for himself and his constituency, by a faithful discharge of his duties. It is especially important at this 61114 when Thuggery is determined to corrupt every one who seeks to pass through the avenue to political preferment, in state or county, that 'we should have a known rpresenta tive of honest intentions and conduct. We are not aware of Mr. Billingfelt's views or intentions with regard to his future course; perhaps if he consulted them he wouldyefrain entirely from em barking• upon a political campaign anti turmoil incident thereto. But - we are of those whO believe that no good citizen has a right to refuse to serve the people when they insist that it is for the good of the State. Editor The political ulcers that have afflicted the'lt.epublican party, and are wasting its strength, will again seek the aid of the Thug doctors, whose sole object is to plunder the people and keep the patient . as kick as possible,,in the hope that they will continue to be called upon to bleed him. Therefore it behooves the people if they desire to be delivered from the thraldom of Thuggery; they will seek an honest man to represent them, and take mesures with out further delay to,seeure the return of Mr B Mingle] t to -the Senate; - Late - s¢ Speech. If there remained, at the conclusion of Andrew Johnson's term of office a loyal than who still believed in the honesty and patriotism of the Great Political Failure of the Century, that individual must now admit that the popular verdict was right. On Saturday last Mr. .Johnson' made a speech at Knoxville, Tennessee, in which he came out boldy and plainly upon the rebel side. He said : " I would to God that the governMent had not had credit to boirow a dollar to carry on the war. If the people had had beforehand to pay the cost of the war, we should never have had one." This is an bonester declaration than any he has made yet., It is the plainest speak ing- that he has dared to indulge in. Bet, out in Tennessee, unembarrassed by :off eial,peition, and-surrounded by rebels for whose- good opinions and votes he is anxious, he can venture to the farthest extremity, and utter the treason that rank les in his' breast. this, very speech ho repeats those threadbare protestations of affection for the Constitution, with -which,:the :familliar, and gives the eusteinall maudlin sentiment about the sta i rs and the flag.' If any other mulled spoken thus, we might comment - upon the-inconsistency of preaching ex cellence of the Constitution and profess ing devotion to it, while denouncing the warand regretting that the rebels were not permitted to destroy both Constitution and country. But it is not worth while to attempt to reconcile Andrew Johnson with himself, or to - demonstrate further his knavery and folly. • We are glad, however that he is show ing his hand. There may be - some hon est men who still regard him as an injured and 'much maligned individual. his open declaration_ of ,sympnthy )yith the rebellion vindicates the course of the Re publican party and of Congress in their treatment of him ; and it fastens upon .him the ignominy of having played the -hypocrite and of having uttered falsehoods - during the time that-he stood before the people of 'Tennessee as a loyal man, and the champion oftruth and right.—Bulletin.

Re cent information reports its existence in severe form in -.Spain. .The.small-pox of sheep is also reported to have recently broken out in the neighborhood of Ham burg, and to be still prevalent in some parts of Holland, particularly near :Rot erdam. THE President of the United States may owe something to the leadink politicians who supported his election ; but he owes far more to the People, who would have him for their President, and wouldn't hear of any one else as a substitute. And that People, with great unanimity, insist that be shall save his health and strength for the four years' work devolved on him by their votes; and shall neither sacrifice nor hazard them at the outset in his anxiety to satisfy- office-seekers, however greedy or clamorous. Before his inauguration, Gen. Grant ad vised many friends that he had resolved to have Cabinet officers of his own choice, and to devolve on them respectively the labor and responsibility of scrutinizing and passing upon the.elainfs or merits of rival candidates for office. This was a just and wise resolve, and we regret that it has since been overruled, to the detri ment of the President's health. In be half of the great body of the People, who expect no office and seek none, we entreat the President to recur to his original, wise, and just resolve, renew it, and hence forth abide by it.—N. Y.

Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, if taken according to directions. They are all three to be token at the same tints. 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 patientbegins to grow in flesh:the dis caned matter ripens in the lungs, and the patient outgrows the disease and gels well. This is the only way to cure consumption. To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treatment of pulmonary 'consumption. - Tho-Tul manic Syrup ripens the morbid matter-in the tunes, nature throws it off by on 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 must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver. so that the Pulmonic 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 use ex cept wins 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 catt.es of Consumption. • . Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and alterative, and the alkali in the Sesw eed, w Welt this prerer:ption is made ot; 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 has consumption, of course the lungs aro in some way disensed,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. Tho stomach and liver have lost their power to make blood out of food. Now the only chance is to take Schenck's three medicines, which 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 pr tient begins to gam in flesh, and as soon as the oody begins to grow,the lungs commence to heal up, and the pa.ient gets fleshy and well. This is the only way to mire consumption. When them is no lung disease, and only Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sufficient without the Pul manic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all . bilious complaints, as they are perfectly harmless. Dr. Schenck, who has enjoyed urinterrupted health for many years past, and now weighs i 23 pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, In the very last stage of Pulmonary Consumption, his physicians having pronounced Ids case hopeless and abandoned him to Ins frte. lie was cured by the aforesaid medicines, and since his recovery many thousands atHicted have used Dr. Sehenek'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, Philadelphia, every Saturday, where all letters for advice must be addressed. He is also professionally at No. 3d Bond Street, New York, every other Tues day, and at No. 3,5 Hanover Street, Boston, every other Wednesday. lie gives advice free, but for a thorough examination with his Respirometer the price is 53.

Thin hair is thickened, falling hair is checked, and baldness often, though not al ways, cured by its use. Nothing can restore the hair where the follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as re main can be saved for usefulness by this appli cation. Instead of fouling the hair with a palsy sediment, it will keep it cleaustind vigorous. a Its occasional use will prevent the hair from turn ing gray or falling oil', and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those 'deleterious sub stances which make some preparations danger ous and injurious to the hair, the Vigor can only beuetlt but not harm it. If wanted merely for DRESSING, nothing , else can be found so desirable. Con taining neither oil uor dye, it does not soil white cambric, and yet lasts longer on the hair; giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. Prepared by DR: J. C.

Inverate cases of Scrofulous disease, where the system seemed saturated with corruption, have been purified and cured by it. Scrofulous - affections and disorders, which were aggravated by, the scrofulous contam ination until they were painfully , afflicting, have been radically cured in such. great Mini hers 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 breed infection throughout the body, and then, on some favorable , oemsion, 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 le-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 rind immediate relief, and, at length, cure, by the use of this Sarsaparilla: St. Anthony's Fire, Rose or Erysipelas, Tatter, 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 as Dys pepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the various Ulcerous atlectrons of the muscular and nervous systemft.
