COMMONICATIOSS, letters, contributions, generally of merit and interest to the reader, will be acceptable tom friends from all quarters. ' THE Republicans of Lancaster county are a patient kind of people, who bave submitted for many years past to the most glaring impositions by some of the most corrupt politicians. By fraud and false hood,. unscrupulous men who have made politics a trade, and bartered office and patronage for money, have taken from the honest tax-payers the control of their own political interests and placed at every avenue to official position a corrupt ring or clique whose continual cry is money ! money !! money I! I No man, no matter how popular, competent or deserving, can reach a position unless he precedes his approach with greenbacks, and conciliates the leaders by yielding the required amount to their demand. Every aspirant must run the gauntlet of the rings and cliques, and submit to be fleeced and stripped of more than the emoluments of office if he would be successful. Hence, honest men will not encounter the, dis giace of such a conflict, and the field is left to those who will bribe and be bribed. A seat in the Legislature is legally worth $lOOO a year and mileage, and no more; but we knoW that some realize from ten to twenty thousand dollars. They of course can afford, and do spend thousands of dollars to be elected. It is therefore, an imperative necessity that in the present campaign the good and true men of principle should unite in the sup port of no man for any office who belongs to the Thugs, the Rings or Cliques, or who can be tampered with or bribed.. The history and proceedings of the last Leg islature, and of some of our county officers should be enough to put all upon their guard and indicate the class of men worthy of support. Interesting History of a Tree. There is in Independence Square a large and beautiful tree which has rather an in teresting history. It is located on the north ern side of the walk extending from the gaitway on Fifth street, and it may be easi ly recognized from the fact that it inclines to the south, and, therefore, partly over hangs the passage-way. The late Hazad lab P. Sampson who was recently found dead in Independence Hall, furnished a history of this tree a short time before his death. Mr. Sampson was at one time a wholesale grocer in Philadelphia, and won the res pect of the business community for his in tegrity. During his busniess career he be came intimately acquainted with Joseph Bonaparte, and after relinquishing business accepted a position under that gentleman, and lived with him several years at his country seat, near Burlington, N. J. Mr. Sampson had considerable knowledge of floriculture, and he took much pride in cul tivating the grounds of his friend, Mr. Bonaparte. This gentleman imported two trees from Southern Europe, and named them "Partlinas Imperial" in honor of a near relative. The trees grew tolerably well for a few years, but finally drooped and died. A young tree, however, grew from the old roots, and Mr. Sampson desired to plant it in Independence Square. Mr. Bonaparte readily,yielded to the proposition, and in the year 18.34 it was planted on the spot over which it casts a grateful shade during the heat of the summer sun. At the pres ent time its foliage isjust beginning to bud —this process being much later than with most of the =rounding trees. The leaves, when fun, , are very large 'Mid curious. Mr. Sampson said that he believed it was the only tree of. the kind in America, and that the only name ever given it was that recorded above. It was three years old when it was planted In the place it occupies, and consequently it must be about thirty eight years old.—Pkitu. Battetia. A number of these trees are growing in this place and neighborhood. They are known here as "Paulonia Imperials." Two of them can now be seen in bloom, in the yard of Joshua Vaughen, on Second street. We believe that Jacob B. Garber, Esq., and Silas H. Purple have them. When in bloom they are certainly beauti ful trees. Primary Election. The pipes are being laid for a grand display of Thuggery on next Saturday at the _primary elections. The_ most artis tic ground and'lofty ballot-box stuffling is to be,performed at every poll where the people have the hoilesty to oppose Thug gery. In tikose distliets where no one is permitted to rote except he votes for a Thug and one man does all the voting, as in Conoy and some others, no caution is necessary, because there there is no con test, but in the others look out. We therefore advise that watchers be ap pointed, whose especial duty it shall be to see that the voting is honestly done; that no one shall be permitted to vote unless be be strictly authorized; that the officers act fairly—that snuff is not thrown into their eyes or dust into their pockets or other means of preventing a fair election, adopted. It is highly important, becauie en this election the Sate of Thuggery pretty,much , depends. The Thugs are a wily set, and require watching—when well watched are sometimes arrested in their career. Americans in the Cuban Army. Samuel Pratt, formerly a dry goods merchant of New Haven, returned to that city on Saturday, from the headquarters of the rebel army at Cienfuegos, Cuba. He was mounded in a recent battle near Cienfuegos and was given leave of absence to recover, when he came'on to New York to assist in the work of recruiting. He is enthusiastic in the Cuban cause, and pre dicts that by December next, Cuba will be in the Union. -He says General Cesied bag . 3,500 Americans in his army, and that he expects as many more in a few weeks. , During the war Mr. Pratt fought i 4 the Won army. WE have heard Mr. Henry hI. Eagle - highly spoken of as a suitable person for our State Legfslattire. "He resides in Donegal townslip, •above Marietta, is an intelligent and "honest man, .a practical farmer and independent of all Thuggery, Cliques or Rings. MRS.

', .tvz young 170thela have jnat been ad=. matted into the Vinton (La.)...Agrionitural College ` Criminals as Witnesses. The law recently passed by our Legii lature to admit interested' parties to tes tify in their own,cases, seems to'give gen eral satisfaction.- We think the Legisla turemight go further and make a law to alloWalleged criminals to take the witness stand. Thereis such a practiCe in sever al of the• States and there appears to be no evil resulting from it, and in some cases much good. The New York herald speaks of the law there as follows: The law passed in the Legislature permitting prisoners in criminal cases to take the witness stand and testify on their trial has already had one or two practical illustra tions in our courts, arid thus far there does not appear to have been any evil results from it, although several lawyers in the Legislature took strong grounds against it on the plea that the practice would greatly embarrass the courts and obstruct the course of justice. Setting aside the fact that the privilege of testifying in one's own behalf in criminal caws may induce perjury, the law seems to be a good one. The presumption is fair that a man guilty of an offense which is made the subject of indictment by a grand jury will not stick at taking a false oath in order to escape conviction ; but it does not follow, therefore, that an innocent man should not be permitted to tell a plain, unvarnish ed tale, which may not only establish his own innocence, but perchance throw such light upon the story upon the crime as may point the finger of justice towards the true criminal. .Editor RI Germany we know that the system of allowing the accused to testify in his own case is the basis of jurisprudence. In France the practice is universal, and we do not know of any instances where more evil than good has come of it. Experience in our criminal courts may establish a like result. At all events, the principle is worth a fair trial, and we are disposed to look upon the law with favor. If it is abused or proves to he mischievous it can be remedied by repealing it at the next session of the Legislature. Agricultural Report. The reports on the condition of crops in all sections of the country are of the most encouraging kind, and at present the harvest promises to be a large and luxu riant one. The last monthly report of the Agricultural Department states that the condition of winter grains is considerably above the average of former years. The cold weather of March did some injury to the wheat plants; but the damage for winter killing has been less than for many years, and the promise for a good crop is quite flattering. In the New England States, and in New . York and the north west, snow still covered the ground; but, so far as developed, Indications were favor able. In Maryland and Virginia our cor respondents represent the prospect as very fine, and from the great wheat-growing-re gions of the west the reports are almost universally favorable. Kansas has suffer ed more than any other section from win ter killing and from the depredations of grasshoppers The Coal Strike. The strike of the miners in the coal re gioas is literally to come to an inglorious end, as it properly should. The fact is, the miners never thought of striking. They were proceeding with their work as usual, until the proprietors of the mines induced them to throw down their tools and go throtigh the formalities of a strike; in order that the price of coal might be increased the coming fall. Failing to see how they were to be benefited by the operation, many of the miners have wisely resumed work, and if the consumers of coal will only abstain from purchasing any more than they absolutely need, the designing operators will find themselves caught in their own toils. I Au Indian's liVur Trophies. A. young Camanche chief, recently kill ed in an attack on a train in Texas was decked out with a white woman's scalp, a corporal's stripe, a beaver skin, bow and arrows, quiver, looking glass, butcher knife, ear-rings, bracelet, fine bead pouch, flint and steel, haversack, moccasins, breech clout, breastplate; Mexican lair brush, Mexican scarf on his shield, two small silver bells, and art, altirost•innumer able number of beautiful ?eatliers 'on his shield. He also bad in his belt a Mexican bridle worth about fifteen dollars, a com mon Mexican' blanket, a fine rawhide lariat and an extra pair of 'moccasins in his belt. TILE velocipede mania is dying out. Nearly three dozen which originally cost between $l5O and $2.00 apiece, sold at a Nassau street auction, at New York city, at an average price of fifteen dollars. The riders and pedestrians of Central - Park proclaim them a nuisance; and the medi cal faculty say they are as bad fOr the men as skates for the women. So, of course, they must be. WE take leave to doubt the Washington rumor of Gen Raivlins's intended resigna tion as Secretary of war.

' Giant and his Appointments. A,New York paper say. that a gentle man ',who spent an evening recently with the PreSident, at his request, says he talked quite freely about public affairs, and evinc ed no little displeasure at the manner in which he had been imposed upon by the men whom be had thought could be trust ed, by whom he was induced into making appointments, _many'of- which had since proved to be improper ones. The remedy was in his own hands, however, and be would not hesitate to use it, or purify the service from incompetent or dishonest men. In the beginning of his adruinistra- tion be had made the mistake of promising, under strong political pressure, certain offices, when it appeared afterwards that the candidates were totally unfit for the positions they sought. In future no 'one would know whether he was to be appoint ed until his commission was signed, unless it was some person whom he personally knew. It was his duty to have no one in office even in a subordinate capacity, who is not fully qualified to perform its duties in the best possible manner. In order to do this, it would be necessary to remove, in many cases, officers only recently ap pointed, but lie would not hesitate to end their official days, though in doing so he probably would be severely censur ed by Many leading Republicans. Whether his administration was sucessful would depend much upon whether the revenue was properly collected, which, under the management of Secretary Bout well, he felt assured would, if possible, be done. BY order of the President, Secretaries Boutwell and Rawlins and Postmaster- General Cresswell have issued orders closing their Departments on the 29th inst., in honor of the memorial services over the soldiers' graves. The other Depart ments will also be closed. Gen. Meigs has directed Quartermasters throughout the country to afford all the aid possible to the Posts of the Grand Army of the Republic engaged in preparing for the services. The preparations _here are of an extensive character. Quite a number of churches will on 'Sunday, the 30th inst., have relig ious services in commemoration of the dead of the armies. Gen. Logan, Com mander-in-chief of the Grand Army, is or ganizing his staff for the ensuing year Comrade N. Collins, who has been As• sistant Adjutant General during the past year, has been appointed Adjutant Gener al of the organization. Comrade R. J. Hinton has been announced as Assistant Adjutant General. He will also edit, by order of Gen. Logan, the new volume of memorial services authorized by Congress. The volume prepared by Frank Moore is now going through the press. It is pro posed to establish, as an official organ, a monthly magazine, t..) be known as The Grand Army Record.—(for. H.

There are sixty-six vessels now en route, to Great Britain from San Francisco with cargoes aggregating one million - seven hun dred thousand sacks of wheat, besides eiabt vessels for domestic Atlantic ports with a hundred and silty-sixflmusand,saeks and ten yessels fokAtio_lttneiro with, fifty-one thousand barrels of flour—The Californai wheat and flour now afloat for China and other countries is valued at four millions of ' dollars. This is the country that twenty five years ago was a barren waste, and that twenty years ago, when it first began to be settled by mining adventurers, was regarded as being unfit for agriculture and only valuable for its minerals. It has within this short period become not only a great exporting country for grain and flour, but it furnishes the best in the markets of the world and obtains the highest price. All this, too, in addition to the vast pro duction of the precious metals, wool, and other articles. Occupations of Conthressmen. Once in awhile the Congressional Globe contains a-little really interesting reading. Thus we learn from it that in the present House there are one hundred ,and thirty one lawyers, seven. editors, ; ten merchants, seven bankers, eight manufacturers, fifteen farmers, two planters, five general business men, one coal operator;', two lumbermen, two real estate agents, two Physicians, two railroad managers, three clergymen, one printer and one agriculturist. One of the " general business men " is Hon: George M. Adams, of , Kentucky, who last year bore a solitary testimony against the dem ocratic tendencies of the day by describ ing himself a "gentleman." , The " agri culturist " is a MarYlander who was quite bent upon bearing a similar testimony, but finding after a thorough _canvass of the House that he would be the only gen tleman by profession on the list, took the other title. IVe should, perhaps, explain that " agriculturist " is the snob for farmer. Educational. The teachers of the;rnale department of the New York public shools, it is stated, have extensively signed a circular setting forth that they are of the decided - opinion, after fulL•diacussiion..and conscien tious deliberation,•and as the results also .of long experience in the practical work ,oleddeation,tliat the utiolition'of corporal, punishment in such department.would be jnjurious to the decipline; , ,and • seriously detrimental to'the.welfare, or the- pupils.

The following anecdote, of the late Mr. Swain, from the Philadelphia Pres.t, is not without its moral 'in other latitudes than Pennsylvania': • Many years ago, Mr. Swain, then editor of the Public Ledger, was hailed at the cor ner of Eighteenth and Cheitnut streets by a very excited individual, who informed him in the most emphatic terms, "I have stopped your paper; sir," and proceeded to explain the why and wherefore, all the time gesticulating wildly. "My gracious, sir, you don't say so. Come with me to the of fice, and let us pee if we cannot remedy the matter. It grieves me that any one should stop my paper.", Down Chestnut street to Third the two proceeded. Arriving at the office, Mr. Swain said: "Why, my dear sir, everything seems to be going on here as usual ; I thought y,ou had stopped my pa per." Then and there the excited gentle man, whom the long walk, by the way, had partly cooled, said that be had stopped tak ing his one copy of the Ledger. Mr. Swain was profuse in his apologies for having misunderstood the meaning of his late sub scribers words, and regretted that he had given hint the tramp from Eighteenth street to Third, down Chestnut. The gentleman went on his way home, a wiser it not a bet ter man, marvelling at the stupidity of editors in general, and of Mr. Swain in particular. Before he left, however, he or dered that the Ledger be still sent to his address. A LEGAL gentleman of Washington city, who has recently been to Georgia on busi ness, and while there was in close profes sional relations with Toombs, Stephens, Ben Hill, and other rebel leaders, declares that these men, and ,the great body of the whites, are, so fur as Georgia is concerned, more bitterly hostile toward the Govern ment and loyal States than ever, if that be possible. The spirit of violence reigns su preme, though now manifesting itself en tirely in acts such as the recent assassina tions, and not in mobs and riots, as was the case last fall. So bitter is this hostile spirit that the gentleman referred to, who was till recently a high legal officer of the Govern ment, believes that, in the event of a for eign war, a large majority of the Georgia whites would not hesitate to join the ene my, if there should be an attempt to invade the country. He•regards the feeling as one of bitter, blind, implacable hatred to the Republic, which would not stop? at any means to gratify itself. Most of the pro rebel leaders believe that in some form they will yet secure the substance if not the name of slavery, and with this hope they are holding on to their lands. Many are purchasing largely. Ben Hill is reported to have recently bought a tract of 5,000 acres in Southwest Georgia. The above is from a carefulsource,but is given merely as the statement of the gentleman referred to. Pen Drops. Man—A bubble on the ocean's rolling wave.

Of the manufacture of ice in New Orleans, the .2",:cayune says: The Louisiana Ice Company have now so far added to 'their works that they can, with their six ma chines now in use, manufacture seventy two tons per day, or, on an average; count ing losses and interruptions fifty tons. They can manufacture all the year round, and it keeps equally well with any other. Thus they can_ and will hereafter continuo to manufacture it at all times of the year, and accutnulate it in ice houses, so that there may not be the least apprehension of a failure of supply. Even now this home manufactured ice can and does undersell the imported. At first the ice, as manu factured, was opaque, but now the air is withdrawn so that it is as clear as any Northern. It should he recollected that the water used is simply of the Mississippi river, filtered and made clear by standing, and nothing is put in it to make it freeze. It is only put in cans, and these are surround ed with, the freezing material. A cake of this ice, weighing 3,000 pounds, is now on exhibition at the fair, and it retails here at one cent per pound.

SCHENCK'S PULMONIC SYRUP Seawe'ed Tonle •and Mandialtelfs, will Lire Con sumption, Liver Complaint arid Dyspepsia, if,talcen according to directions. They are all three to be taken at the same time.' They Outlast) thestomach, 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 a•ay to cure consumption. To these three medicines Dr. .T. iI. Schmuck, of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in •the treatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pub meal° Syrupripens the morbid matter in the lungs, nature throws it Mr by an easy expectoration, for' when the phlegm or matter is ripe, a slight cough will throw it otf, 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 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 with great care), that will unlock a gall-bladder and start the secretions of the liver like Schenck's Mandrake Pills. Licor 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 prescription 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 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 nut try to stop a cough, night sweats, chills or fever. Remove the cause, and they will all stop of their own accord. iqo ono can to cured of Consumption, Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Canker, Ulcerated Throat, un less the liver and stomach are made healthy. •- - If a person nas consumption, of course the lungs arc 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 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 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'a ell. This is the only way to cure consumption. When there is no lung disease, and only Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, Schenck 's Seaireod Tonic and Mandrake Pills are sulllcient without the Pul monic Syrup. Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all bilious complaints, us they are perfectly harmless. Dr. Schenck. who has enjoyed uninterrupted health for many years past, mid now weighs 225 pounds, was wasted away to a mere skeleton, in the very lust stage of Pulmonary Consumption, his physicians having pronounced his case hopeless and abandoned him to his fate. Ile was cured by the idbresaid medicines, and since his recovery many thousands similarly filleted have used Dr. Schenek's prepara tions with the same remarkable success. Full di rections accompanying each, make it not absolutely necessary to personally see Dr. Scnenck, unless the patients wish their lungs examined, and for this purpose ho is professionally at his principal office, l'hiladelphin, every Kiturday where all letters for advice must be addressed. lie is also professionally at No, 32 Bond Street, 5 en.

On A YER'S SARSAPARILLA, FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD The reputatiox this excellent medicine enjoys, Is derived from its cures, many of which are truly marvellous. 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 adhering, 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. Often, this unseen and unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the constitution, and invites the attack of en feebling or land diseases, without exciting a suspicion of its presence. Again, it seems to breed infection 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 Erysipelas, Totter, 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, D.. opsy, 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. llut long continued use of this medi cine will cure the complaint. Lencorrlicea or Whites, Uterine Ulcerations, and female Dis eases, are commonly soon relieved and ultimate ly cared by its purifying and invig,orating enect. Minute directions for each case 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, its also Liver Complaints, Torpidity. Congestion or Innannnatiow of the •Liver, and .latm when arising, as they often do, from the rank ling poisons in the blood. This Sarsaparillais it great restorer for the strength and vigor of the system. Those who are languid and listless, despondent, sleepless and troubled with ner vous apprehensions or fears, or any of the affec tions symptomatic of weakness, wilt and imme diate relief and convincing evidence of Its res torative power upon trial.
