BASH STEPS* LXXXIV. riurlß—A liltnipse of tbe legislative Chamber, apropo# of tbe Army BUI IMicaiuen-rMbPottacripti [CorresponSeneo of the Philadelphia Evenls* Bnßetlo.l In leaving the Chamber I tried to collect and synthesize my impressions a little, and determine what effect the conduct of the Legislative Sessions had really made upon my ultramarine taste. These Sessions exert their functions under most peculiar circumstances. Their role is to repre* j sent with finished verisimilitude the aspect of free I discussion, vith the part of freedom left out. A j Government, supported upon a paid and brainless ; provincial vote, Is confronted in the metropolis with brains and bile In plenty, the contribution of the most intelligent fraction of tbe commu nity. These it can .confute at any moment by that handy provision, a majority. Still, reeog i nizitjg the weight of rational opinion everywhere, I and eager to show how skilfully it can play its j part of generous discussion, it invites the fullest j expression of hostile sentiments. This expres sion is useful to it in many ways: the opposition may sometimes be made to commit itself, to reveal its own inconsistencies, and afford a wily minister the chance to cancel two enemies by setting one against the other; or at least there iB shown in the course of disenssion mhere the captive is get ting.too lively, where his muscles are working most and require another cord, or where they are rcaUydeadraitngaad-palsyingfrom impededclr culation. The Emperor is no Bourbon; he de sires no moribund slave; he requires a subject out of whom work may be got: he uses Jean Crapeau as though he loved him, that he may live the longer. At this moment, agonized by a half-dozen of signal failures; feeling that his public are tired of him in all his old ports; finding to his cha grin lhat internal improvements and the culture of civilization are not what confers upon a ruler the boon of popular glory, he seem 6 to be suffer ing himself to follow his buccaneerish, advisers into the path of military ambition. He allows his hand to relax from the fond employ which U loves, and for which it really haß a cunning, and tries to address its unapt and stiffened tendons to the sword. This restlessness produced new. confusions in the important and protracted debate of which I write. Some members had to come forth and be infallible in parts which they had but imperfectly studied: the Prime Minister himself was obliged to talk as much ns possible like a soldier, at the same time that he was fain to catch an unusual grace of modesty, and momentarily admit Mar shal Niel, Minister of War, as his equal upon the rostrum. The opposition was not ranged upon this question in its usual solid . phalanx. A Frenchman is hardly himself when Franco's military glory is being discussed. Three depu ties, Messieurs Segris, ‘ Millet, and de la Guistiere, pronounced orations against the bill, and subsequently voted for it. Even the witty Glais-IJizoin .was indiscriminate and little to the purpose; the burden' of his song was, “Very well, gentlemen, for all this a heavy bill will be’brought in before long,”—a word verified in the promptest manner from the ministry of ..finance, for M; Magne has jnst presented a report • demanding a new loan of 410 millions, to be almost exclusively applied to armaments. A number of legislators, not quite sure on which side patriotism lay, but vaguely secure of them selves so long as they tried to spite the govern ment, delivered speeches which they do not them eeFves very well remmher. ; Under all these complications, however, the discussions on the army hill have moved on with little lapse from the urbanity and dignity habitual to the most polished parliament on earth. The spite and personality were not less enttiag,' per haps, than in an ordinary American senatorial wrangle ; but they were feathered with an ele gance,-a grace of cultivated manners, that de spatched instead:■ of impeded them. Do not think that these courteous champions were aris tocrats; the ranks of the popular deputies are largely filled from ordinary professions.* Several legislators are editors; one, Dupont,, is a printer; the President hithseli, as I have, men tioned, is at the head of a large Iron .foundry, Bnt they leave outside the manners of the oonv posing and puddling rooms. I recollect a slight feint between M. Rouhcr and M. Olllvier, the least elegant,of all the deputies. The minister, thinking to have entrapped the Liberal In some admission, remarked, “My own sentiments are exnctlyexpre£Heffby ! M.Ollivier.’’' , X'he deputy, raising his tumbled head from the tribune, (it has since then, by’ the by, been covered with sticking-plaster, the consequences ef an awkward fall,) slowly ; pronounced, -at the top of his grating voice, the following crusher: “I am ravished whenever I find myself, in harmony with M., the Minister of State; bnt in this instance it is because the ideas of M., the Minister, have divided themselves into two irre concilable and contradictory parts; in this confusion, in which Ml, the Minister of State, is unconsciously defeating himself, it enchants me to find some part of my own opinion.” You know how one of our fine Hooslcr giants would have turned such a chalice in tho, Representatives; and how tho ladies’ gal- I’HIIADKU’IHA. PH IDA Y, FEBRUARY 21, 1868. lery would have applandcdhls “burly Saxon" when he said, “There, then, the sound half of' you I eat, and the rotten half I, throw to the ;hogs!" " " ‘ , " ; v The most grating concomitant of the-' French Legislature would be, to a deputy of American Ideas, the Presidency. The ceremony- ; with which the distinguished' iron-mater, is received, tho military guard, the rolling salnte, the herald ing and uncovering, arebad enough; far worse is the obvious direction he gives to affairs. An American Liberal legislator would be little satis-' fled to see his Speaker frankly taking a side in the order of the debate, constituting himself the monarch instead of the ' ser vant of the meeting, assisting the orators, of one party, giving them all' the, time they, claim for their remarks, allowing them to inter rupt and occasionally even to cough down an op position speaker, and coming openlyto their as sistance in time of need; whOe he harassed the others, ruled them strictly up to time, reproved them for every excited expression, and sharply checked their own comments and criticisms on their opponents. In the careful arrangements necessary for giv ing to the public early and accurate reports of what is transacted in the Chamber, the French Legislature leaves, I belieVe, little to be desired. A communication from the Government, for example, Is received by the public at largo a couple of hours, perhaps, after the reading. Snch communications are read in the beginning ot a session. Emissaries from the different af ternoon journals attend in their little hall, called Salle dee Joumaux, looking oh the Hue do Bour gogne, and immediately after the presentation it is brought ont' to them by one of the editing secre taries, who dictates it to ail who will copy. The editing secretaries have their table, and tho stenographers their little pulpits, at the base of that group of furniture, known as the bureau, which comprises the president’s estrade, the ora tor’s tribune, the rail of the ushers, goods always some thing lower than is offered by our Now York yVfe«ffe, otherwiso those enterprising and unscruj pulous people with their gilded attractions and radial connection# will draw from us the buyers in .our immediate vicinity, a\ they uow do those in distant parts' of our own State, as well as tlioso ln the States west and south of us. Our mechanics do not have so much to pay for rent, provisions, &c.j why, then, should tboy demand New York wages? If they lhaist oh doing so, the many real advantages which our city pOBSCBsba will be neutralized, or lost tonss and oiftmerchante and manufacturers (as many have in la to years done) veiuor-General in relation to the Secretary of • State, and .so indirectly: td bring tbe office into contempt in the eyes of both tbe hqtives ‘ ? j.theJocalgovernments.wastoooxperienccd’in Indian affairs not to - know the . necessity of a strict financial control) at least, over a Presi dency which, like Madias,- was invited by its own Governor to rebel, or wbieh, like Bombay, j bas rushed to ruin and dragged the general trea sury with it. The question Is still before the local governments,in whose handstde Govtrnor- Geneial bas placed a terrible weapon, to be used against, some even of bis own sound policies. The protest of Sir Heniy Durand is said to be the ablest ptmier which, has been written by any' member of the Government of India slDce Lord Canning’* time. The Conservatives contend that no federaliza tion or decentralization scheme is fora moment to fkoyghtof, as applicable to a country like' BriUshTDdia. None df the condltldns are to be found here whieh in any Bense would render appUcoWe what is called “Bright’s dreata,” or CoL'Strachey’s American scheme. There is not I only no representation in India, but It must be centuiteu before representation can be possi ble. The physical circumstances are also fully to- be considered. But, beyond all this, India Is not - a settled conntty, and can hardly be, under alien rule and sur rounded by savage tribes and semi-savage po tentates. India will for a long time continue to be subject to internal revolt and frontier war, and must be a unity to confront these dangers. Our administration among the Asiaticskto be suc cessful, must; It is claimed, hot only ite a unity, but be centred in the person of one holer. And finally, it is as a unity that British India has In curred financial liabilities In the markets of Eu rope to the extent of £200,000,000 sterling. This debt must be largely increased during the next few years. Capitalists will not lend to Bengal or Madras or. Bombay on the same terms as they have lent to the Government of India. Pro claim decentralization, and there would be a panic In Indian securities; the irrigation and railway extensions; requiring at least fifty mil lions sterling in the next ten years, would be ar rested, and the general credit and progress of the empire would be struck a heavy blow. Of course,the assumed objects of the promoters of these schemes are to render taxation more fruitful, and expenditure more economical. It is doubtful if even these objects would be gained under half a dozen governments, independent of each other and of a central authority. The risks are top positive, too alarming for such experi ments. Immediate reforms are needed in the financial administration of British India,blit these must be inaugurated in such a way as not to im- I .peril the unity or political stability of the Govern ment, and yet in such,a way as to enlist the several provinces in the cause of economy and of revenue expansion. Such is .the theory of many j men who have studied India’s necessities long and well.

Murdoch’s Reading.— The elocutionist, Mr. 8. K.sfurdoch, has been invited by annmbe of prominent gentlemen to give a reading, and he has designated the 24th inst for the purpose. The reading will be given at Concert Hail Consumption* That much-to-be-dreaded dlseaso of the lanes, which seems to have taken up its abode In the United Btates, has, in consequence of its dreadial ravages in the human family, caused many of oaf most eminent physicians to turn thefr attention to it, that they, by so doing, might be enabled by close observation to discover something in the mineral or vegetable kingdom that would act upon those delicate organs in such a manner as to arrest, if possible, its further progress, or eradicate the germ which was lurking in the sys tem, having been contracted from one or the other of the parents. After a long and seHous study, and a post mortem examination of the human body, the medical faculty generally came to the conclusion that it was a, hereditary disease with some persons,and that others might contract it threugh heavy colds, or wilful neglect of the mode ofliving. This portion of the subject having been settled to their entire satisfaction, they then turned their attention to devise such means as their enlarged views and practice enabled them so to do. That they did work seriously and assidu ously to reach that culminating point cannot for a moment be doubted, but it seems that their labors were not crowned with that Bueeess that they merited, and the question was left open for some more distant time, when there woahl arise a person who would discover a remedy to meet the wants of the unfortunate victims of this dreadful disease. That person is Doctor Joseph H. Schenck; having contracted this disease himself in early life, he, like many others at that day, called in a physician, who, I have na doubt, did all that laid in bis power, but failed to perform a cure. One of his lungs was already gone, and he possessed too much shrewd ness not to see that if something different from that which ho had been doing was not immediately applied, the other lung would become affected, and death would ensue. Ne cessity, it is said, is the mother of invention. He put his wits to work, and made a decoction, which he freely partook of, and, to his great sur prise, healed up the diseased long, which, by so doing,prevented the disease from spreading,' and thereby saved the lung which was unaffected,and he was therefore restored to his usual health. Finding his discovery had proved so beneficial to himself, he, in the goodness of his heart, felt a strong desire to assist his fellow-men who were simi larly situated, and they were cured. This fact gave him confidence In’its powers to overcome this fell destroyer of the huuian race, and he then, after having given it a fair trial, commenced to turn ids attention to Its manuiacture upon a more extensive scale, until it has become one of the most popular medicines rf the day. It is known and denominated Dr. Schtnck’s Pulmonic Syrup. I shall not descant upon its effects upon the human system, but will beg leave to refer the readers of this article to Dr. Schenck’s Almanac, where all the information as to its mefits can be obtained. After several years of experience be discovered that persons of a weak constitution might contract consumotion in consequence of a diseased liver; he then 'made a study of this vital, but important organ, and after much research, and experimental efforts, disco vered a composition which would eject the bile and carry it off, relieving the entire system of the dreadful ahd dangerous condition which a dis eased liver is sure to produce. After having effected this to his, entire satisfaction, he then turned his attention to the discovery of an admixture of substances, which he formed into a decoction, to act as a tonic, to strengthen and invigorate the stomach and bowels; and thereby prevent too great a relaxation of' theayatom, by the operation of the pills, and to givwtone to the stomach, while it assisted the digestive organs. After he had givon them afairtrial, he discovered that they wonld act as well in a combined maimer, and better than in a separate capacity, and thus he recommends the whole three preparations to be taken at the same time. The Mandrake Pills eject the bile and mucus from the liver, stomach and bowels. The Seaweed Tonic gives strength, tone and vigor to the organs by dxciting the liver to action, and aiding the chats of the stomach, producing a good appetite and good digestion. The Pulmonic Symp purifies the blood, and thereby keeps the lungs and heart, and indeed the whole sys tem, -in a perfect healthy condition. Such are the wonderful effects produced bv those three safe and beneficial medicines. My advice, then, to my fellow citizens, is this, when either your selves or any members of your family are attacked, in. cither of ..those vital , organs, the tongs and the liver, go immediately to Dr. Schenck, while yet in the incipient state, and consnlt him, and X have every reason to believo he wllleffecta cure.
