TUE Copperheads have given up Pres
ident Grant as a hopeless case, and have
abandoned all hopes of Johnsonizing the
great soldier. His Radicalism is some
thing that they cannot - comprehend : • and
they accordingly are howling in chorus
over a ruined country and a violated con
stitution.
TILE Governor has vetoed the villian
ous Bill passed by the Pennsylvania Legis
lature, authorizing the Executii•e to corn:
mute the death penalty to imprisonment.
This is one of the wisest acts of Governor
Geary's official career, and he will re
ceive the plaudits of all right minded men
therefor.
TUIATEEN States have ratified the Suf
frage Amendment thus far. Connecticut
and Mode Island ratified it in effect at
their State election last Tuesday. It re

more States to engraft the amendment in
the Federal Constitution, and make it
binding on all the States.
TIE terrible calamity which recently
destroyed the village of Hancock, Mich

THE Democracy are suffering for an
issue. Negro suffrage won't do any longer;
the national taxes are reduced; and the
South will soon be reconstructed on the
plan laid down by the Republican party.
President Grant has disappointed them

.A.sttottx time since,• as Gen. Butler
was riding in the Pennsylvania Avenue
cars, in the great city of Washington,
a lady who was leaving the car remarked,
as she passed him, " Look out for your

her, and. aseertainal,that she was em
ployed in the Treasury. She has now
obtained a permanent leave of absence,
and the General has had her place filled
by a colored woman.
THERE has been for several days a great

A 3t4t5 in.Johnshurg, Warren county,
of this State, has been killed by a spring
gun on the premises of a farmer into
whose barn he was -endeavoring to break.,
The farmer had suffered much from burg
' iari, 13e planted lb spring-gun in his
barn, and posted a notice of warning to all
persons. Thia thief came there, tore off
a hoard from the side of the barn, entered,
and was shot dead. We believe that the
farmer should be held entirely blameless,
and deserving of the thanks of the com
munity. In these days of reckless crime,
a burglar is justly killed, whether he is
shOt by a pistol in the hands of his in
tended ITTIIIg-gan on
premises where it was felony for him to
tread. Public justice should support pri.

“And that immediately after the pasimge of f this act,

:Editor
Mr. Billingfelt based his proposition
upon facts and•fignres obtained—from -an'
examination into the accounts of the State
Treasurer and Commissioners of the Sink
ing Fund, showing that there is at prcs,:nt
a surplus fund on hand amounting to
81,89,00; that the receipts into the
Slate Treasury for the months of Decem
ber, January and •Februaay last, exceed
those for the corresponding months of
last ytiar by $195,000; that the receipts
Of the State Treasury for the months of
April, May and June of last year were
$897,000, and the expenses of the same
months were $851,000, which, 'should the
receipts and expenses for the three coming
months be the same as last year, would
leave a balance in the Treasury on the
first day of July next of $1,3227000 ; that
the expenses this year will be a great deal
less than those of last year, whilst the ex
cess of receipts over expenses in July next
will alone be sufficient to pay the semi
annual interest due on the first of August
next. ' Hence it could easily be seen that
we can afford to pay off immediately
$BOO,OOO of the five per cent: loan due
July Ist, 1870, and thus save the interest
thereon for fifteen months, amounting to
,859.000, and still leave a Sufficient balance
in the State Treasury.
The amendment passed by the following
vote :

We are very sorry, that on so just a
proposition any Republican should have
voted in the negative, when some of the
.most bitter Democrats voted in the affir
mative. It is economy to save $50,000
to the State, which all will appreciate; and
we are at a loss to know.why any good
man should oppose such a measure.- The
people will appreciate this effort of Mr.
Billiogfclt, as something - more than bun
combe or humbuggery, as was openly
charged against him for his effort to pass
a bill requiring the county Commission
ers to give bail for faithful performance
of duty.
Crawford System.
It will not be long until the people will
be called upon, under the Crawford
county system, -to nominate candidates for
county offices, &c. It highly important
that these nominations be made without
fraud or stuffing of the ballot boxes; for
otherwise we apprehend, from expressions
of voters all around, they will not be
satisfied, and the ticket ,will be repudia
ted. It is not to be denied, nay it can be
proven, that in several Districts most
glaring frauds were committed by un
scrupulous men, the-voice of a majority of
the voters - disregarded, and men put on
the ticket who were not honestly selected.
We know that the ballot boxes have been
stuffed ut the primitry elections, and more
votes counted for certain favorites than
were polled, by which mon justly entitled
to nomination were cheated out of it.
This thing must not be repeated. If it is;
there is a remedy which will heap dis
grace upon the heads of the guilty, who
may not escape as they have done.hitherto.
Some men who - do those thipgs think
themselves very eniart, when they are only
dishonest. They are known and will be
watched. Their dirty, work shall - not
avail thew, for the voice of the people
shall be regarded even if it should result
in the defeitt of the ticket and the aban
donment of the Crawford county system,
which without the restraints of legislative
enactment seems to furnish ample oppor
tuoity for roguery,

unfinished,' has by proclamation convened
the Senate in extra session which as

A Speck of War at the White
• House—Belligerent interview• Be
tween the President and Senator
Boss—The Senator Ordered to
leave the Executive Presence.
Senator Ross, of Kansas, one of the gal
lant seven who voted against impeachment,
hoarded the Presidential lion in his den
recently. The report is that Ross went
to the White House to look after certain ap
pointments for his far off State. Re had
heard that the President intended to make
certain nominations incompatible with the
slate ho (Ross) had made out for himself.
Ross, like other Senators, is human, and
has a soul not above yearning for the loaves
and fishes. His soul felt sad at what he
had learned concerning the designs of Pres
ident Grant,'and to give his soul comfort he
wended his way to the White House. He
-was admitted at the same time as old Zach.
Chandler, but had the first chance to speak
his little piece to the President.
" I come, Mr. President, to talk with you
about the appointments from my State,
having heard that you intend to make cer
tain nominations that may not harmonize
with my desires, if you deem it worth while
to consult them in the least."
To which Grant laconically and interrog
atively responded, " Well sir ?"
This Presidential response was not in the
true manner to be relished by the Kansas
, Senator. "Mn I to understand that lam
rightly informed as to your stated inten
tions to disregard my preferences in the
matter of appointments, Mr. President?"
inquired the Senator.
• That is a question hardly susceptible of
answer, sir. To what appointments do you
allude? Inform me and then I can reply,"
robbed Grant,
Senator Ross liked the second answer as
little as the first, but having come for en
lightenment he was determined not to go
away in a fog. The Senator, therefore, with
suppressed rage, explained the appoint
ments to which he had reference.
" Frankly, sir," said Grant, "Lintend not
to make those appointments."
" What, sir ! You scorn to accomodate me
in the least," exclamed Ross, boiling over
with rage.
" Slrrradieve gl;ten you my an
swer," firmly but sternly replied Grant.
" This is not treating me fairly, Mr. Pres
ident, nor as one gentleman should an
other," uttered Senator Ross.
"I have no' intention to be dictated to,
sir," said Grant sharply.
"Nor have I to be insulted, even by you,
sir, were you twenty times the President,"
exclarned Ross, with his Ire stirred up to
white heat.
"I "mustdeelino to be annoyed any further
on the subject," muttered. Grant between
his teeth, "and desero the interview should
terminate."
"You and your desires may go to hell!"
roared out Ross.
" Leave the room sir! Leave the room,
or I shall force you out !" thundered Grant.
Itoss took his departure accordingly. in a
terrible rage, quitting -the White Ilouse
like one rustling from a plague, and hurried
to the Capitol. Presidnnt Grunt threw him

"Excuse me for a fate moments, Senator.

Mrs. Twitchell's Confession.
A. sort of confession front Mrs. Twitchell
has been published in the Philadelphia
Ledger. The purport of it may be given
very briefly. She totally ignores all knowl
edge of the murder until after it was done ;
lind alleges, in addition, that a persistent ef
fort was made by her husband, in order to
save his own life, to get her to make a fab
ricated •`confession," acknowledging that
she killed her mother, and that he knew
nothing about it until it was over. She
says that he gave her three of those false
"confessions," in writing, with minute in
structions how to proceed, and what to say
in answer to any questions that might be'
asked ; and gives this as the reason why she
ceased to visit him in prison, Copies of
these fabricated confessions are published
with her statement. They were written on
little pieces of paper, and, as she states it,
were slipped into 'her hands at different
times when she went to see him. The orig
inals were inspected by the reporter of this
paper, and Atiere compared with other letters
written by Twitchell. He has no doubt as
to their being in his handwriting. Whilst
this is so, there is great room for doubt as
to whether Twitchell was the first writer or
author of the letters and instructions, or
merely copied them. In some places they
are loose and incoherent and full of repeti
tions, whilst in others they are terse, com
pact and precise, showing a vigor of mind
and containing expressions that could hard
ly be used by such a man. In other words
there seems in some places to bean attempt
to imitate what might be supposed to be
Twitehell's style tinder the circumstances,
while in other places the writer forgot to
keep up the imitation. These points will
strike any careful, experienced reader. It
all amounts only to another accusation of
the basest perfidy against witeliell, in ad
dition to those already charged upon him,
and to a plea of entire innocence on the
part of the wife, The publication of those
papers will scarcely change a single opinion
as to the guilty party or parties. The only
good their publicity may be able to do, lies
in the possibility that somewhere in the
mass of - words used -- to Twitehell, or who
ever fabricated the papers purporting to be
written by him, there may be a clue to lead
up to the terrible truth involved in the
murder:

ISOS :
ASSASSINATION OP Fit SIDENT LINCOLN
Early this morning, just,before going to
• press, we received the mournful intelli
gence that. Abraham Lincoln, President of
the United Stales had been murdered last
night at Ford's Theatre, Washington City,
and expired this morning, Saturday, April
15th, MA, at twenty-two minutes pastseven
o'clock from the effects of his wound—being
a pistol ball fired into his head by one well
' known in dramatic circles as J. Wilkes
Booth, an actor of some prominence, and
son of the tragedian, Junius Brutus Booth.
He was born in the classic region of Bell-
Air, Burford COunty, Maryland, a place
well known as a rendezvous of robbers,
horse thieves, Leo. •
On the confirmation of the sad news
which deprived our country of a beloved
President—all business was suspended,
flags were draped in mouruingand the-feel
ing of regret, incliguatien and revenge was
everywhere manifest. Sorrow was depict
ed on every countemance and each one tried
to seek consolation of the other. Indeed it
seemed that some plague had visited our
town and curried oil the first born of every
family. now soon a national exultation is
drowned in the wail of a mourning people.
A tragedy has been enacted that paralyzes
every sinew of republicen government,
and the tears of a weeping people follow
close in the wake of a general thanks
giving.
Notwithstanding the sombre drapery that
shrouds almost every house, and the droop
ing flags that speak a nation's grief, can we
scarcely realiee even now, that Abraham
Liecoln, our honest,faithful and good Presi
dent has fiillen by the hind of the assassin.
Never in the annals of history have wo read
of such a crime. The execution of Charles
I, or the assasination of Ceesar is no paral
lel, lie was taken away just as the fruits
of his years of labor were ripening in his
hands—he has led the nation in its darkness
and trial, until the light of peace once more
was about to fall upon the land. Four years"
he held the reins of government—assuming
the Presidential - Chair at an hour when the
turmoil of national convulsion was raging
throughout the land. He grasped firmly
the helm of State,
and during the perilous
voyage through the strife of a great civil
war, guided her unerringly by the fierce
ordeal. Few men have ever lived who
could have wielded the ponderous engine
of war with the same skill, and managed
the affairs of civil government with the
same wisdom, as has been done by the
man whose bleeding corpse receives our
tears. The mighty achievements grow to
stupendous proportions when we look back
through that eventful interval, to view its
mugnitude by the light of many battles. A
revolution beyond the reach of historic cons- -
parisen has been enacted,whilst no ieternal
commotion of sufficient proportions to em
barrass military expeditious has been pro
voked. Through lour years of wavering
strife the finances have been upheld and
the public credit sustained. In the midst.
of foreign hostility, the honor of the nation

sassin has laid low the nation's head, and
the greht political reformer cannot enjoy
the labor of his hunds. As the busy pen of
history records each finished chapter of this
eventful epoch, upon none will it dwell
with longer comment or prouder eulogy
than upon that which tells the story of this
revolution _accomplished -and its leading
spirit's fall. Embalmed in the heart of a

AL Girl Shot by is Rejected Lover.
A terrible tragedy occurred-at North An
dover Wednesday night. It seems that a
young loan, John Pine,had been a suitor ot
a girl named Hu bbard,who huts rejected his
addresses. So much was he affected by this
lid bus attempted once or twice to take his
own life, On Saturday lust, us we are in
formed, lie took a dose of laudanum; but
reniedies Nvereadnainisterod that saved him.
The fact that the parties lived in the same
house—she with her mother and he with
his parents—brought them frequently in
contact, and late Wednesday evening he
went to a room in that parkot.the house oc
cupied-by her. Mail& and asked her to take
a walk with hint. Ands she positively de
clined to do, when be drew a revolver
und threatened to kill her if she didn't.
She fled from the room leaving him
there. lie then threatened to kill him
self, and leering that lie would do it, she
opened the door which she had Closed. be
hind her, to look in and see what ho was
doing. As she did co tte shot at her and the
took effect in her neck, inflicting a
wound which it is feared will prove dual.
He then discharged another barrel of the
revolver; aiming at his own head, killing
himself almost instantly. Pine was alMost

have borne a good character. Miss Hub

becomes good; the food digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow in flesh; the dis
eased matter ripens la - the lunge, and the patient
outgrnays the disease and geLs well, This is the
only way to cure consumption.
To these three medicines Dr. J. 11. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success iu the
treatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pub
monio Syrup ripens.the morbid matter in the lanes,
natural throws it off by an easy expectoration, for
when the phlegm or matter Is ripe, a slight cough
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 Pulmonic Syrup and the food trill 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 SOOll
relieved ; the stools will show what the Pills can do;
nothing has ever been invented except oalomel (a
deadly poi-on which is very dangerous to use ex
cept wire great mare), that will tudook a gull-bladder
and start the secretions of the liver like Schenck's
mulrake Pills.
Liver Compioint is one of the most prominent
ofoloo:. of Cocnamptron.
Sohenok's Seaweed Tonle ls A gentle stimulant
and Alterative, anal the alkali in the Seaweed, which
this preseeption is made of, assists the stomach to
throw out the castrio to dissolve the fond with
the Pulinonlc 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
range the whole digestive powers, locking up the se
cretions, and eventually the patient sinks atrd dies.
Or. Schenck, in his treatment, dons not try to stop
a cough., night sweats, chills or fever. Remove the
Callas, and they trill all stop of their own accord. No
one can be noted of Con -amption, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Canker, Ulcerated Throat, un

are a ie.iss ind am
ammation and fast decayi, ill
such cases what must be done? It is net miry 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
Sehenek's three medicines, which will bring up a
tone to the stomach, the patient will begin to want
food, it will digest easily maims - Ike good blood ; then
the patient begins to gain in flesh, and as seen as
the body begins to grow, the lungs commence to heal
UP, and the patient gets fleshy and well. This is the
only way to cure consumption.
When there is no lung disease, anal only Liver
Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenek's Seaweed Tonto

We are often Asked why are not other remedies in
the market for Consumption, Coughs, Colds, and
other Pulmonary affections, equal to Dr. L. Q. Wis
hart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial. We answer:
Ist. It cures, not by stopping cough, hut by loosen
ing and assisting nature to throw off the unhealthy
matter collected about the throat and bronchial
tubes, causing irritation and cough.
2d. Most throat and lung remedies are composed
of anodynes, which allays the cough for awhile, but
by their constringing effects, the fibres-become har
timed, and the unhealthy fluids coagulate and'are
retained in the system, causing disease beyond the
control of our most eminent physicians.
ad. The Pine Tree Tar Cordial, with its assistants,
aro preferable, because they remove the cause of
irritation of the mucous membrane and bronchial
tubes, assist the lungs to act and. throw off the un
healthy secretions, and purify the blood, thus scien
tifically making the cure perfect.
Dr. Wishart has on file at his office hundreds and

DO NOT TRIFLE WITS DANGER
A single spark may kindle a flame that will con
sume a city, and small ailments neglected, may end
in fatal disorders. Bearing this fact in mind, lot the
first, symptoms of debility or nervous prostration be
;met promptly with invi&orating treatment. I•ore
most among the vegetable tonics of the age stands
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, and when
ever the vital powers seem to languish, or there is
any reason to suspect that the animal functions
essential to the sustonation and purification of the
body are imperfectly performed, this invaluable in
vigorant and antiseptic should at once be resorted
' to. Indigestion always produces weakness of the
bodily powers. Sometimes it happens that the ap
petite demands more food than the stomach can
digest; though not more, perhaps. than js required
to keep up the full strength of the frame. The ob
ject, under such circumstances, is to increase the
digestive capacity of the assimilating organ, so as to
make it equal - to the duty imposed upon it by the
appetite, and capable of supplying the building mate
rial of the wean as fast as it is required. This object
is fullyaccomplished by the , use of the bitters. They
tone and gently stimulate the cellular membrane
which secretes the gastric juice, and the result Is
that the solvent is mingled with the food in sufficient
quantity to convert all its nourishing particles into
pure and wholesome element. If, on the other hand,
there Is a deficiency of appetite, without any corres
ponding deficiency of digestive power, the effect of
the tonic is to - stimulate a desire for food. In nine
teen cases out of twenty, headache, nausea, nervous
ness, fainting-fits, spasms, and, indeed, most of the
