-. :How ) and when to resume specie pay

come a financier and legislator in imagi
nation. There are - nearly as many opin
ions as there-are'men. - One would have
the country "flooded with greenbacks,"
another prefers contraction. The Rev
enue Commissioner argues that money be
ing a means to an end, and- not the end—
the end being trade—the increase of
money will not create trade. He father ar
gues that the simple_ reasonable remedy
for the evil of inflation -Would seem to be
contraction. • The resumption of specie
payment is considered impossible and im
practicable if possible, except through the
• process' of contraction.

Commissioner are encouraging. With

It ,May be known to the public 'tha
Wiliam B.,..Reed of Philadelphia once a
leading 'democrat 'and bosom friend of
James Buchanan, has failed, his indebt
edness largely exceeding ,his assets. A
aqueamis7o, Wicked regard for this fossil of
aristocracy, has kept the facts of the case
quiet, and very few of the Philadelphia
papers have everzeferred to it.• The fact
that much of the money lost in the fail
ure of .Reed was held in trust, and the ad
ditional fact that Mr. Buchanan designa
ted Mr. Reed as his biographer will' tend'
interest to the following from the Bulletin
of Saturday.
The duties of' a Sheriff aro often very
unpleasant, and it must be a particularly
disagreeable duty fora Democratic Sheriff
to have to sell the effects of William B.
Reed. But if a thing has to be done, it
ought to be dOne as well as possible. A
public sale ought to be well advertised, so
Sat the interest of the community might
be aroused, and at least a good attendance
of people might be secured. Now, the
Sheriff's sale of Mr. Reed's household fur
niture which took place the other clay,
can scarcely be said to have been adver
tised at all. The furniture was sold at his
late semi-rural residence at Chestnut Hill,
and only a few of the neighbors knew
anything about it. The consequence was
a poor attendance of buyers, little or no
competition, and a general sacrifice of all
the effects. The aggregate proceeds was
only about a thousand dollars. And yet
there were many things aanounting in real
value to more than this. There were
handsome' Chinese vases and ornaments—
trophies of Air. Reed's splendid mission to
the East---:that would have brought good
prices if collectors of such things had been
notified of the sale. There were, too,
many trips, in themselves worthies, for
which " fancy prices" might have been
obtained 'of such persons as hunt after
souvenirs of distinguished characters, lit
entry, diplomatic, political, or criminal. : '
The injustice of the almost clandestine
mode of disposing property for• the benefit
of a wronged creditor ought to be appar
ent to every one. But it is part of • the
,system in Philadelphia, where if a man
"in good society" - is -brought to :disgrace;
there is a mawkish delicacy about expos
'bag the fact, which is not shown 'when'. a
poor, unknown and friendless man comes
to sorrow and ruin, even without disgrace
and no fatilt of his own. If the facts con'
corning Mr. Reed's transactions had been
given out by those possessing' them, their
,publication by such papers as have no
fear.of telling the truth,'wight have bad
. a good moral effect. At all events if the
fact of a sale of his furniture had• been
•properly announced, the proceeds - would
have been four or.five thousand dollars,
instead of a paltv one thousand. In-Eng
land, the country whose people, laws and
customs Mr. Reed has , .been fond of-up
holding as examples for imitation Elie;
they do these things different. :Within - a
few months, the transactions of the Duke
of .Newcastle—representative of -an an
cient fluidly that Mr. Reed admired very
much—were made widely known thrOugh
the English papers,-and when his- effects
went under the hammer, there was an ex'
citement and a. competition which pre- '
duced a very haedsome net result for his
creditors. When other distinguished-and
titled men, like Sir John Paul, for in-,
stanee,•conamit embezzletitents, the facts
are made known. through the press, and
the arrest, trial, conviction and punish
ment—either by imprisonment or trans-,
portation—are part of the news of the day;
which no independent paper pretending to
give news, can possibly ignore. But,'
while scores of little pilferings and breach-',
es of' the peace by unknown poor, friend-'
less outcasts have been thought worthy of
being announced in the daily newspapers'
of Philadelphia during the past week or
two, not one of them except the Evening
Bulletin has made the slightest allusion:
to the infinitely worse offences of William;
13. Reed. This must be because he is a.
prominent Denocrat, an ex-Minister to
China, a man of fine talents and education,
and holding a high social position. Of,
,course the idea thatsuch silence has been,
purchased isabsurd ; for we know enough'
of the respectable portion of the preis of.
Philadelphia to be able to declare that it
'is honest andineorruptible.. Betit is -too'
apt to,be
.either ,totally.silent, or tender
and nacally.mouthed, when.a man of mark s
commits a wrong, especially if he has rel-:
atives of good character, whose feelings'
may be, hurt by an exposure..
We have no means of knowing'what
.were. all. the .• causes that brought' Mr.
Reed to.ruin and disgrace.. Some - speak
of extravagant living ; others of operations
id gold and against .the Government that
he avowedly lated-Und • despised, - which
of curse brought. losses ''as the Govern
taunt :credit advanced. , It is enough to
know that this highly cultivated and tal
ented individdal has been•jmught to ruin
and his ruin bus involved many good and
innocent people, • including. women , and
children, in terrible, losses. His effects
are. the Sheriff's hands, and tole sold
Under a judgment obtained by the heavi.-'
dst Creditors. Th,e ,household
_furniture
has been sacrificed, as we have already
said. The library is to be sold' on Mon

suffer themselves to be "interviewed"' by
meddlesome reporters. There is :alse, a ,
copy, of one of Anthony Trollope'S novels,
with an autograph letter from the author.
The sentimental value of this will be in
creased when it is known that Mr. Trwl
lope in coming to the early
part of our civil war, had letters to 11.1 r.
Reed, who introduced him into the " So
ciety not Nixed!' which he described in his
trivellioole, and which the'foolish cockney
thought was the hespsociety,,in Philadel
phil, and that because treason was the
only talk, in such society, it was , impossi
ble that the Southern rebellion could be
put down.., There are iu the collection
lives of Stonewall Jackson, Benedict Ar
nold; Jefferson Davis and General Joseph
Reed; but, by strange oversight, there is
'none of Judas Iscariot. Perhaps, the
omission of the great prototyPe is not im
portant. And after all, the library, no
matter how not,paid for, contains a great
many delightful and valuable books, and
we consider that we are doing a, service .
to somebody besides the Sheriff, in thus
giving the sale of it a gratuitous advertise
ment. •
nigh Mass in St. Peter's.
Ewa', Nov. 28, 1869.—A solemn high
mass was celebrated to-day in St. Peter's,
at which the Pope presided. As this is
the first time he has attended in the great
Basilica for some months, and as it was an
nounced he would carry the blessed sac
rement from the grand altar to "the
chapel of the blessed sacrament," the at
tendance was very large. The space be
tween baldacchino, or grand canopy, was
inclosed, and none but the members of thp.
Sacred College, patriarchs, archbishops,.
bishops, and priests were admitted.
From the bridge of St. Angelo to the
piazza in'front of St. Peter's, cavalry were
stationed 'at intervals of about one hun
dred yards: Prom an - Carly hohr up to
half past 10 o'clock the carriages of car
dinals, monsignores, &C., rolled over the
'crowded'theiroughfares' at a' tittick' pace ;
'foreign archbishops; 'bishops' auil mitred
abbots filled the eats and hired'vehieles,,
- trild - Wereetirriecl a trot ;' gray-headed
Priests, old merchants, a uti'ramblers from
far off lands were afoot and inclosed'in
lumbering 'coaches, but all were as happy
as if-they were bound for Heaven, with
proper credentials fur adinittance.
;Inside the church the sight, was ina
posing and grand. The brillizint'uniforms
of the Homan Swiss guards; the treorge
ous robes of the patriarchs; the red and
scarlet cloaks of their attendants;' the
jaunty Zouvhies and the diversified, het
erogeneous Mass - of - sightseers. The anxi
ety to 'catch a gliinpse'of Pio Nono in
creased as the time approached for mass
'to commence.`' At' half past - ten :o'CleCk
he eme.rged - froni the ' private entrance to
the Vaticah tlie elittped'Of the bljeied
'sacrament; and after a'''PrOniP . &genuflexion
passed under the tomb of Gregory'XVl.,
Into the - 110i 'transept; where the 'Councii
willbeheld,and,i. ftei• hcinglobed, thened
to the throne a little in ad ranee of the trib
une. Once 'seated the choir commenced,
'and in two minutes aterWards 'the "l'atri
arch of Chnstantinople, of the Latan rite,
began mass with the usual assistants. The
greater number, of the attendants were
more anxious to See 'PhiS IX. than to
hear mass, and they spent gieat pains to
see him by elihibing, endeavoring to in
crease their stature by'standing on tiptoe
'and' begging for the loan of t larguette
from anyl.s.ctl:r who would be kind eu'ough
to lend one: "
The venerable Pontiff looked remarka
bly well, and 'sonorously pronbunced' the
Words Benerliciit VOS, - &e., at the'eloSc of
the mass: But the labor of carrying the
Host in procession round the whole nave
was certainly very la borious for a man of
his age, seVenty=six years, but he walked
as erect and took as long a step as, I've
been informed, he did twenty years ago.
- The great mass of humanity that filled St.
Peter's during the procession had a good
opportunity of seeing his Holineis, which;
be assured, they did not fail fo'profit hy.
All the bishops from America,'North and'
South, were Present and'took part in the
'pro - cession. .IV.•

the Pain Biller. I consider it a very valuable medi

good deal since I have been in Kansas, and never
without taking it with me. Jn my practice I used it
freely for the Asiatic-Cholera in 1619, and with better
success than 1$ ith any other medicine. I also, used
it here for Cholera in 185:,, - with the same good re-

the system the corruption which scrofula breeds on
the langs.

stops the air passages of the lungs. Its healing
principle acts upon ,the irritated surface of the
'lungs and threat, penetrating to each diseased part,
relieving pain and subduing inflammation, It is the
result of years of study and experiment, and it is

power to cure the following diseases, if the patient

SPECIAL NOTICE
scirtßNews ruLmomp SYRUP
Seaweed Tonic and Mandrake Pills, will cure Con
sumption. Liver Complaint and Dyspepsia, if taken
according to directions. They are all three to be
taken at the some 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 flesh; 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. 11. Scbenck, of
Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the
treatment of pulmonary consumption. The Pul
monie Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the lanes,
nature throws it off by an easy . expectoration, for
when the phlegm or matter is rme, 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 Pile
must be freely usedsto cleanse the stomach and liver,
so that the Pulmonie Syrup and the food will make
good blood.
dehenekie Mendrnke Pills net 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 wire great care), that will unlock a gall-bladder
and start the secretions of the liver like Schenck's
'Mandrake Pills.
Liver Complaint is oue of the most prominent
causes of Consumption.
Schenck's Seaweed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterative, anti the alkali in the Seaweed, which
tltt', prescr'ptiort is made of, assists the stomach to
throw otilitlieVistriejuice,to d issolve the food with
the pui mottle Syrup, and it is made into good blood
-without fermentation or souring in the stomach.
'The great reason why physicians do not care con
sumption is, they try to do too much : they give
medicine to stop the cough, to atop chills, to stop
night sweats, hectic fever, and by so doing they Sc.
range the whole digestive powers, locking up the se.•
mations, and eventually the patient sinks and dies,
Dr. Schenck, in his treatment, does not try to stop
a cough, night sweats, chitin or fever. Remove the
cause, and they will sill stop of their own accord. No
one can be cured of Consumption, Liver Complaint,
Dyspepsia, Catarrh, Canker, Ulcerated Threat, un
lees the liver and stomach are made healthy.
If a person min consumption, of course time lungs
:are in some way.diseased,either tubercles, abscesses,
bronchial irritation, pleura adhesion, or the lungs
are a mass of inflammation and fast decaying. 1n
such' cases what unmet be done/ It is net only dlitt!
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 will begin to want
, food, it will digest easily and makegood blood; then
the patient begins to gain in flesh, and as soon as
the body begins togrew,the lungs commence to heal
',up, and the patient gets neatly and well. This IS the
only way to cure consumption.
' 'When there is no lung disease, and only Liver
Complaintand Dyspepsia, Schenck's Seaweed Tonic
and Mandrake pills are -sufficient without the Pul
mionie Syrup.: Take the Mandrake Pills freely in all
bilious complaints, us they are perfectly harmless.
