CosmILL, a pot-house politician of
Philadelphia. who has figured and dis
graced himself as chairman of the Finance
Committee of the Senate, has cooked up
a very nice cock and ball story in excuse
for an unexcusable vote of one of our
county Senators (we need not say which)
upon the final passage - of the appropriation
bill. Mr. Connell thinks lie can gammon
-the voters .of Lancaster county into the
belief that General Fisher was actuated
by the purest motives when he changed
his vote and carried the bill; and when it
is so apparent by Mr. Connell's letter and
the previous votes of Gen. Fisher, that
he; Gen. Fisher, was only the tool and
accomplice of Mr. Con nell, who avows his
determination the bill should pass even at
the sacrifice of character. So flimsy a
pretext- will , deceive nobody; and Mr.
Connell and the General had better tell
that story to the mar-hies. Honest men,
determined upon doing right, and acting
conscientiously require no apologists and
snake no apologies for.an upright vote and
honest discharge of duty. But men, eon
cious of error and desirous to deceive their
fellow men arc those who require to be
bolstered up by letters of explanation and
apologies. If Gen. Fisher could boldly
and openly appeal to his constituents, and
show them by his conduct throughout
that he honestly and - faithfully repre
sented them in this and other particulars,
and changed his vote in the course of
half an hour for their benefit and their
interests alone, he need not have required
the certificate of good conduct from a man
as corrupt as Mr. Connell. We must say
it looks rather &k J , and is a new kink in
legislation; that a member of the State
Legislature must appeal to another mem
ber, as guilty as himself, to justify a vote
that both well know is against the wishes
and interests of their constituents, and en
tirely unjustifiable when quadrated with
square, up and down honesty. We sup
pose now, that Gen. Fisher will in turn
endorse Mr. Connell's Vote to his comsat
uents,'as one good turn deserves another,
and perhaps they may both need to be
endorsed by somebody else before they are
again elected to the senate
IT is well known that our county Com
na:rioners are experts in the art and
_:ystery of building bridges at the
ecunty's expense and have, - within three
gears, aecomodated the dear people by the
erection . of only nineteen at the mode
rate cost of $69,000, a mere bagatelle, as
'Mr. Seward would say. 'Should any one
be mean enough to object to such a mag
nificient enterprise, it is an easy matter to
hallo out humbug—buncor, be—fudge.
Such was the reply, at least, when some of
our tax-payers thought supporting twenty
seven of our State lazaroni at Harrisburg
as rasters and folders was rather an un
necessary expenditure of money because
no work was done or intended to be done.
That we may not be considered as the
only grumblers, we respectfully call the
attention of our readers to the following
communication published in the Intelli
gencer:
THE BRIDGE AT CLONNIELL
MESSRS. EDITORS :—A word about the
bridge recently erected at Clonmell might
not be out of place. The facts show that in
this as in other cases, the county was some
how wade to pay to somebody several hun
dred dollars more than ought to have been
drawn from the County Treasury. • The
new bridge cost $2,225, yet it is a well known
fact that two responsible and competent
persons offered to do the whole work for
$.1,400. The bridge whirl' was replaced only
cost $l,lOO, and the old abutments were
used in the erection of the new structure.
The contractor of the Commissioners said
he was only to receive $1,900 for building
the bridge, and to pay back $175, for the
materials of the old structure, leaving the
cost of the new one $1,875, Yet we see by
the Auditor's report, that the sum finally
paid was $2,2'25, and no credit appears to be
given the county for the old material, which
could have been sold for considerable more
that $175. These are what we call scanda
lous facts.
Ctomint,r., April 9. .MACK.
Geary our next Governor.
It appears to be a settled fact that
Maj. Gen. John W. Geary will be nomi
nated and re-elected to the distinguished
position he now holds as Governor of the
commonwealth of Pennsylvania. The
masses of the people seem already to have
nominated him, and it only remains for
the State Convention to ratify the nomi
nation. He has given great satisfaction;
and his' Wise administration- of-the laws,
his prudence and firmness in every thing
that pertains to the good and well-being
of this great State, and his opposition to
political rings, surely entitles him to the
fovorableconsideration of every honest,
fair-thinking Republican in the common
wealth. Aside from his brilliant record
as a military chieftain, and the noble ser
vice be rendered the country in time of
her greatest peril, he has proven to the
world that he is ono'of the most efficient,
as well as the most earnest' and through
going chief magistrates our State has ever
had. Is it any wonder then that the
independent, Well-thiiikini..Republicans
want him re-elected. Corrupt " rings"
may combine against him, but they will
only do him good in the eyes of sober and
intelligent men.

The Appropria,tio:n Bill.
And so the State Senate has yielded and
passed theAPpropriation
,q3ill. ''„Let the
House rejoice, and let "rulnor officers". be
exceeding glad I :''The pOlitical paupers,
otherwise called extra pasters andlcdders,
etc., are to get the pay they never carped
in spite of the earnest protest of the party
and the people. Fifteen or twenty thou
sand dollars are to be filched from the
State Treasury to fill 'the hungry maws of
these vampires. Well, it was too much
to expect of our honorable Representa
tives that they would recede from the bad
position they took on this- question.. We
thank, in the name •of the '' people, the
seven Republican Senators who so long
stood out against the consummation of this
infamy. We regret that 'they yielded to
the pressure at last, but can easily under
stand that they feared to assume the re
sponsibility of defeating the Appropria
tion Bill altogether. If they had done so,
however, they would have been sustained
by nearly all; the people of the State.
They might have defied the wrath of pol
iticians.. .We fear very much the effect
of these unscrupulous proceedings on the
fall elections.
.Echtor
Ix the U. S senate Senator Ross
attempted to explain away the reported
difficulty between him and the President..
In the course of his remarks he charged
President Giant with having removed cer
tain good Republicans from office in Kan
sas, simply because they were the frielids
of Ross; and he'declarecl that his confi
dence in the President was shaken. The
opinion of Ross cannot possibly be of con
sequence to President Grant, under any
circumstances; but his denunciation is de
prived of any value in this instance by the
fact stated by Senator Pomeroy that some
of Ross's "good Republicans',' were solid
old Democrats while Andy Johnson was in
power, and that their virtue was assumed
suddenly after the election of Grant. We
advise _Roos to subside. He niay . bea wise
man and a bold man, but if he undertakes
to place himself in opposition to Grant and
the Republican party, with hope of win
ning honor in the party, he will ascertain
that he has undertaken an impossible
task.— Ph ila. Bulletin.
Base Ball Or the Velocipede?
These beautiful spring days are the her
alds of out-door sports, and consequently
causethe agitation of the question, what
sport shall be in the ascendant this summer?
The rivalry is narrowed down to two con
testants, base ball and the velocipede.
Base ball has the advantage of prestige
and organization; the velocipede of nov
elty. Base ball has the disadvantage of
being under the ban of business men ; the
velocipede of being under the condemna
tion of the doctors, or, at leastsome of them.
We incline to think that base ball playing
will still keep a pretty good footing among
the active and the idle young men this
summer, but the velocipede will certainly
draw from field and base very many away
would otherwise be numbered among who
the " First and Second Nines."
GOVERNOR HOFFMAN, of New York,
in a veto message lately announced the
following truths, viz : "Legislation is a
public trust," and not- mere privilege
" to be exercised for private benefit or
emolument;" that it should be "as impa.r:
tinily administered as any judicial or other
power of government," and that " it is in
the come of the people, by the people, and
should be for the people."
These are golden words of wisdom.
How grand it would be if they were so
impressed upon the hearts of Legislators
as to brand and burn them with shame
and disgrace every time they raised their
voices or gave their votes in violation of
such sacred truths.

ports relative to crop prospects from re
liable correspondents, over an extent of
country from Minnesota to Delaware, and.
from Virginia to Texas. They are pretty
unanimous in assuring us that the winter
Wheat is tu..t only safe, but in a good,
thrifty condition,and at this late day we
may consider it safe beyond any ordinary

ordinary ominous reports of extensive
winter killing do not as usual reach" us
this season, and from this fact alone we
might be led to anticipate a prosperous
and healthy condition of the growing
wheat crop.

Narrow Escape from the Anato
mist's Knife—Among the Dead
Nen.
The Philadelphia _Evening Star of Satur
day relates a remarkable story of a respect
able merchant who came near becoming a
subject on the dissecting table. The man it
appears, was addicted to habits of intempe
rance, and a few evenings since ho went into
a saloon near one of the medical colleges.
After drinking considerably he left the place
about midnight, and being in a state oblivi
ousness, lay down close to the entrance of
one of the first-named institutions, and there
he slept in an almost lifeless condition. Be
tween the hour mentioned and four o'clock
is the time that the grave robbers bring in
their prey, and it is so happened that on that
morning they had been very successful, and
brought in a load from the Almshouse, in
"West Philadelphia. It is not to be expected
that men following- such an occupation are
men of sobriety alai discernment. The gang,
four in number, were all likewise drunk ;
and- it-so happened that, atter uulgadinT
their dead " subjects," they laid them along
side of the "victim, who was stored away with
the corpses. Next morning a subject was
wattled. As soon as the door was opened
and light admitted, the unfortunate ratan
begun to give signs of life. Two or three of
the students were called, but they were
afraid to approach him. At length the bra
vest ones made efforts to arouse him, and
they were successful. Gazing wildly around
him for a moment at terrible realization of
his position came upon him like a flash, and
he uttered heart-rending screams. So ap
paling were they that one of the students
went into a fit, and a German was so alarm
ed that he fell down a flight of stairs and
fractured - one of his arms, and was removed
to the Penn Hospital, where he now is doing
well. The unfortunate man was removed
to his home in an insane condition, mani
festing great nervous excitement.: He is
now under the cure of two - physicians, mad
cannot be convinced but he was dead. Such
are the results of rum.
The Appropriation Bill Again.
The assumption of Senator Connell that
General Fisher was compelled to vote to pay
the plasters and folders, otherwise an extra
session of the Legislature at an expense of
one hundred thousand dollars would have
been necessitated, is_ a specimen of the's°
false and groundless pretences so often con
trived by cunning and unscrupulous office
holders to humbug their constituents and
cover up their corrupt practices. Why is it
assumed that in case the Senate did not
agree to the conference report on the Ap
propriation bill, the bill would fail al
together? We do not believe, for our part,
that it would have done so.. Why should
not the House have receded from its posi
tion, as well as the Senate ? 'Was its posi
tion the stronger of the two? We do not
believe the members of the House would
have dared to allow the appropriation bill
to fail through their adherence to the pay
ment out of the Treasnry of their unlawful
ly appointed officers, and thus have brought
that question and their identification with
it, directly before the people for judgment
at the polls. There can be little doubt
therefore that the House would have re
ceded if the Senate, had stood firm;
but if
the result had proved otherwise, and con
trary to all reasonable expectations, an ex
tra session had to be called at an expense
of $lOO,OOO, as Senator Connell alleges, we
believe the awakening of the, people upon
this subject of corrupt and extravagant
legislation, and the lesson would have been
taught to those members who are ever
ready to rob the Treasury for the benefit of
themselves and their hangers-on, would in
the end have saved the State ton times the
cost of an extra sessien.
The people of the Commonwealth would
have been perfectly willing to stand the ex
pense of the experiment, and have thought
it cheap even if it had cost as many dollars
as Senator Connell mentions. By the weak
ness and inarmity of purpose, if nothing
worse, of General Fisher, they are deprived
of the_opportunity of making a direct issue
upon the subject, bat when he comes before
them for re-election they will still be able
to inchoate their opinion with sufficient
'clearness, in the support hp will receive at
their hands at the primary election.—Ex

EtatTIICIUMCEL—Ort Thursday last, at a
quarter to 'six: P. M., this city was again
enlivened by quite a " smart " shock of
earthquake, causing buildings to shako and
a rattling of things generally. People un
ceremoniously vacated their premises, and
skedaddled to the streets. No damage was
done. Could wo know the precise time
when mother earth was• going to have an
attack of the shakes, we would prefer tak
ing our chances at some place outside the
city in the center of a .ton-acre lot. We
don't like them, and who does? Don't all
speak at once. If this last shock was on
April first, there was no. fooling in it.—

taken at the some time. They cleanse the stomach.
relax the liver, and put it to work ; then the appetite
becomes good ; the fond digests and makes good
blood; the patient begins to grow in Pesh ; the dis
eased matter ripens in the lungs, and the patient
outgrows the disense and gets cell. This is the
Only way to cure consumption.
To these three medicines Dr. J. 11. Schenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of
. pulmonary consumption. The Pul
monie Syrup rtpei. the morbid matter in the Tunes,
nature throws it otf by an easy . expectoration, for
when the phlegm or matter is ripe, ft slight cough
mill throw it off, and the patient has rest and the
lungs begin to heal.
To do this, the Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills
tnust be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver.
so that the Pulmonie Syrup and the food will make
good blood.
Schenek's Mandrake Pills act upon the liver, re
moving all' obstructions. relax the duets 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 was great care), that will unlock a gall-bladder
and start the scc:etions of the liver like Schenek's
landralce Pills.
Liver Complaint is one of the most prominent
causes of Consumption.
Schenek's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative, and the alkali in the Se tweed, which
this pi esception is made of, Assists the sltomach 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.
'Cite 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, beetle 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. Schmuck, in his treatment, does not try to stop
a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. Itemove the
cause, and they will all stop of their °nu accord. to
one can be cured of Com omption, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Canker, Ulcerated Throat, un
less the MCI' and stomach arc made healthy.
It a person nas 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
shim:tett and liver have lost their power to make
blood out of food. Now the only chance is to take
Schenck's duce medicines, which will bring tip a
tone to the stomach, the patient wilt 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 way to cure consumption.
When there is no lung disease, and only Liver
Compliant and Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed Tonic
and Mandrake pals are sufficient without the Pul
monie Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all
bilious complaints, as they are perfectly harmless.
Dr. Schenck, as ho has enjoyed uninterrupted health
for many years past, and note weighs 225 pounds,
was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in the tcry last
stage of Pulmonary Consumption, his physicians
having pronounced his case hopeless and abandoned
him to his late. Ile was cured by the aforesaid
medicines, and since his recovery many thousands
similarly aillicted have used Dr. Schenck's prepara
tions with the Caine remarkable success. Full di

DR. WISILARTS PINE TREE TAR. CORDIAL.
It is the vital principle of the Pine Tree, obtained
by a peculiar process in the distillation of the tar, by
nhich its highest medical properties are retained.
It is the only safeguard and reliable remedy
which has ever been prepared from the juice of the
Pine Tree.
It invigorates the digestive organs And restores
the Appetite.
It strengthens the debilitated system.
I (purities and enriches the blood, and expels from
the system the corruption which scrofula breeds on

It dissolves the mucus or phlegm which stops the
air passages of the lunge.
Its healing principle acts upon the irritated sur
face of the lungs and throat, penetrating to each
diseased part, relieving pain and subduing inflam
mation.
It is the result of years of study and experiment,
and it is offered to the afflicted with the poultice as
surance of its power to cure the following diseases,

meats of cure:—
Consumption' of tho Lungs, Cough, Sore Throat

We are often asked why are not other remedies in

other Pulmonary atfeetions, equal to Dr. 4.,. Q.
Wls
hart's Pine Tree Tar Cordial. We answer:
Ist. it cures, not by stopping cough, but by loosen
ing and assisting nature to throw otf 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
dened. and the unhealthy fluids coagulate and are
retained in the system, causing disease beyond the
control of our most eminent physicians.
3d. The Pine Tree Tar Cordial, with its assistants,
are preferable, because they remove the cause of
Irritation of the mucous membrane and bronchial
tubes, assist the lungs to act and throw ott' the un
healthy secretions, and purify the blood, thus scien
tifically making the cure perfect.

HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS, and when.
over the vital powers seem to languish, or there is
any reason to suspect that the animal functions
essential to the sustenation and purification of the
body are imperfectly performed, this invaluable
vigerant 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 is 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 duly imposed upon it by the
appetite, and capable of supplying the building mate
rna of the vacua as fast as it is required. This object
is fully accomplished by the use of the bitter§. They
tone and gently stimniate 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
casual aches and pains to which humanity is sub
ject, proceed primarily from indigestion corn plicated
with billiousness ; and for both these complaints
HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS are recom
mended as a speedy and certain remedy.

A YEWS ICSAPARILLA,
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.
Tile reputation this excellent in ethane enjoys,
is derived from its cures, many of which are
truly marvellous. lacerate 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 ontam-
Motion until they were painfully omitting,
have been radically cured in such great num
bers 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. °ltem 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,
ou 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 Mid
Immediate relief, and, at length, cure, by the use
of this Sarsaparilla: :it. Anthony's Fire, Rose
or Erysipelas, '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.as Dys
pepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits, Epilepsy,
Neuralgia, and the various Ulcerous allections
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. lint long continued use of this medi
chic will cure the complaint. Leucorrinea or
Whites, Uterine Ulcerations, and female Dis
eases, are common ly soon relievednud ultimate
ly c..red by its purifyingand invigorating etlect.
Minute directions for each co.se are found Id our
Airatiae, supplied gratis. Rheumatism and
Gout, when caused by necurouintite; .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. Those who are languid and listless,
despondent, sleepless and troubled with ner
