•
lion of the Protestant Eplectval ,Chnrchi de ve -
livered this morning, thus introntteed the follow
lug report:
"One of the most interesting occasions on
which I have officiated Since my return from
Euiope was at be t inauguration of the Bishop
Potter Memorial House in June last.
"This institution; designed for the purpose of
training Christian women in hospital and paro
chial work, holds a high place in my estimation.
Prejudice on the one hand and ignorance on
the other have kept some aloof, from it, but it
needkonly a little study Of God's Word and the
early •Wtory of Christianity to see how intimately
linked together are the services of Christian
women and the development of the life and spirit
of the Church. •
They go hand in hand through the gospels of
the Evangelists and the acts of the Apostles.
They stand side by side in the work of the primi
tive Cburcb,and if we would follow apostolic and
primitive teachings, we should seek to put upon
its true basis and develop in the right direction
this most powerful agency for the spread of the
cospel.
"Last February I held another service, at the
Memorial House, on occasion of the re-devoting
themselves to tins holy work of three ladies who
had already BerVed . tho probationary term of six
months, and who then desired to consecrate
themselves anew to the service, in which they
kind,pttrehased to themselves a good degree. I
have appended to this address a report of both
of these services, with the first annual report,
and though the Memorial House is not a Dio
cesan Institution, and does nontherefore connate
gitimately under the purView of the convention,
yet aspart of the records of my Episcopal acts,
and as the inaugurating, exercises of what will in
tireei-I trust, become a great institution, fostered
and upheld by the Whole diocese, I cannot but,
express the hope that these accounts will find it
,
place in your journal, and secure from both
clergy and laity - that Attention which the work
therein commemorated so earnestly: demands."
First Annual 'Moor* of the
66 BIShOP
potter nernerlai House for Training
Christian Women, and organizing
%heir hervices for Work in the
Church."
PruLanal.rma,April, 18G8.--Right Reverend and
Dear Sir: Having been chargsll ny you with the
management of so novel and important an insti
tution as the Bishop Potter Memorial House, it is
obviously my duty, in making the first annual
report. not only to give a sketch of its opera
tions,but also to testily to the urgent need of such
iniatitutions to promote the aggressive work of the
Cliurch.
Ist. The 'SEED of judicious, cultivated women,
skilled in the Apostolic art of winning souls by
combining deeds and words of Christian love, is
now realized by all ministers who are striving to
carry the saving influences of the Gospel to the
hearts and the homes of all sorts and conditions - of
men.
Our Lord, and the teachers trained by him, \
showed conclusively that loving acts were im
portant witnesses of the origin and effect of
Christianity, and also helps to the human mind
and heart in receiving spiritual truths,even when
uttered by divine or inspired lips. The impor
tance of this combination of deeds and words is
equally apparent now, when the opposition of
the natural heart to the restraints of Christianity
is increased in large classes of people by the neg
lect of Christian fellowship andby perver
sions of other. Apostolic injunctions and practices.
The fact of this alienation from the Church is
obvious, for it is known to all observers that a
- Very large proportion of working-men, even of
those who aro baptized and were once boys in
her Sunday schools now never attend any place
of worship, and, being notoriously profane, they
"nOiSOU the minds of their sons and work fellows,
•s•
and are likely to perpetuate this alienation, if no
special effort is made to reclaim them.
It is estimated that at least five hundred thou
sand Protestant men are banded together in bene
ficial societies outside of all religious bodies, and
in one of them, numbering two hundred and
fifteen thousand members, the receipts last year
were more than two million of dollars. This
lamentable estrangement of so many of the
working class could not have occurred if the
Christian Church had more faithfully personified
her Lord; therefore she is bound to make the
more vigorous effort to win her children back
again. To is end is now doin in
Harishes that th make nomuch
provision for the inde
pendent members of the working Class. There
are costly employment societies outbidding the
world by giving much higher compensation for
unskilled - labor than can be afforded by persons
in business i alms are freely dispensed, or mate
rials, clothing and even articles of diet sold at
very low prices, or garments are given, and the
children of the Sunday and Parish-schools are
regularly clothed, sometimes twice a year. God
is even thus blessing many a cheerful giver of
time and money, and these agencies afford relief
to much individual suffering; but the closest
observers, both clerical and lay, now see that
the poverty-stricken and abject are drawn to the
uch by these sinu not the industrious
Ch r
and self-reliant who this country have high
self respect.
Not one in twenty of the laboring people need
pecuniary aid in this prosperous land, and their
Prodigality of personal service and money to
their industrious and virtuous neighbors when in
distress is proverbial. So much of the charity
of the Church is now received by persons known
by their own class to be unthrifty, indolent or
dissolute, that the industrious shun such
churches through fear of being thought merce
nary. The excellent Christian people who have
been actively working after this manner for a
long time, though often discouraged, find it
hard to see their error; yet they know that the
independent members of the working-class are
still estranged from the Church. The last annual
report of one of your most efficient ministers
gives the strongest testimony to the injurious
results springing from the customary alms
• deeds. Such testimony accords with the experi
ence of workers among the industrious poor, but
it was not expected from a missionary to the
moat degraded of the black population. He tee
titles that the Dorcas Society fostered pauperism;
therefore he substituted for it a weekly meeting
of women to make their own garments, and to
bring their small savings. His report says "that
the spirit of thrift and self-respect has been so
thoroughly engendered, that out of ninety-three
communicants, a majority of whom do not earn
more than three dollars a week, only one can
strictly be called a pensioner, and she is over
ninety years of age.
Tabs zealous minister and others who,like him,
are intelligently striving to win back the working
class, are the most solicitous for trained lady
visitors, to Christianize the home and to teach
the neglected how to draw spiritual nourishment
from God's Word by systematic and prayerful
study of Its sacred pages. They aver that mis
sion chapels have little permanent value 'unless
the more intelligent and refined Christians are
willing not only to teach, but also to worship in,
company with those who, are less lavored in tem
porM WiUgB.
Th 9 Pulpit and the press instruct the educated
class in their relative Christian duties, and their
surroundings) afford them much moral restraint
and support; whilst those whose lot is labor are
so exposed to corrupting influences when at
work, and so few of them have intelligent and
virttions c hom trainin,
rd ey seem to be a
special legacy e
of our Loo a to th women who are
more favorably circumstanced.
Mothers have always been the chief religious
teachers and trainers, and in addition to the '
benefit of this home-training, the present gene
ration of American ladies have unusual advan
tages, for, with few exceptions, they have been
either scholars , or teachers in Sunday-schools
or Bible-classes. Having Much tact and a re
markable talent for teaching, they soon acquire
the art of imparting religious instruction and of
controlling the wilful and the , wayward, .and
when acting under the full sanction orthe
Church. anti encouraged by owing. the successful
work of others, such women will, become a great
power in her aggressive work. It hue already
been , fully demonstrated that the bon/wand.
hearts of the estranged classes are accessible to
intelligent and trained mini:As:din ,. women and.
that, both men and women attend their clams
for, instruetion i t the Bible and Prayer-Beek,
and hayein large numbers been grafted into the
C'brirch through their agency.

These Bible claskett supply a want; for no giiii
erenprOvihion -hoe , hitherto been. made by the
Church for instrieting, 'ench irrefigions ors&
tranged adidte as ore unprepared to Amite a
Meg rervide. The ,need''of 'thoroughly trained
teachers will become still more apparent after an
examination of the inexperienced, unskilful and
often frivolous young persons to whom the
sacred duty'of leeching In the Sundayschool is,
ire quently intrusted.
Normal schools give ten-fold power to secular
teachers by developing their latent talent. by exer
cising them in -seitcontrol as well as in terachiag,
by showing them how to use, not physical force,
but the power of love, and by givirg them the
advantage of the experience. of other teachers.
So in the more subtle and difficult art of religious
teaching and of , 'winning immortal , souls, from
which ladies ivith the higheualifications
naturally shrink, a like training st must have still
higher advantages. • -
The need of a training school for the women
who enter the Foreign Missionary' service has
long-been felt, for the heathen can be reached
successfully only by a teacher of Christianity who -
is a living Illustration of its principles and prac
tices, imparting its benefits to 'mind and body,
whilst telling of Jesus and His salvation. The
hospital,tho dispensary,the*mission to the homes
of the neglected, the use of love in compelling
them to come to chapel, to parish schools, to
sewing schools, to Sunday schools and Bible
classes for -all ages and conditions, and to the
mothers' meeting, which is both social and spirit
ual; all these help, the missionary to learn how to
use loving acts, instead of the pecuniary aid I
which is so naturally resorted to and which lowers
telt-respect. •
The need of trained Christian ladies who can
wield the wonderful power of prayerful self-de-'
nying love in ministering to soul and body, Is
now realized in all Church reformatory schoOls
and charitable institutions, to give them higher
efficiency and to impart new zeal to their bene
factors.
A hospital without the presence of refined
Christian women is now known to be imperfect
in its appliances; but a Christian Hospital with
out such ministrations to soul and body, as only,
women cap give, lacks one of the chief channels
through which God's blessings now, so freely
flow.
The appliances of the Memorial House are
most favorable to supply to the Church this need,
and the work may be indefinitely extended, as it
ie s surrounded With the homes of working people
atiells near to Frankford and other pariehes,where
woman's work is adding much to the efficiency of
the Rector.
The Holy Spirit is kindling in the hearts of
many timid, self-distrustful daughters of the
Church an earnest desire to develop their bight
est spiritual powers, and to devote them to God's
service. To such women ,a Christian home like
that now established is' an urgent need, for
through its varied work and trained teachers
their special gifts may be ascertained and exer
cised.
As no stringent vows are meth, no peculiar
dress adopted, and no pressing home duties are
interfered with, the institution is brought within
the reach of many who might otherwise he ex
cluded or prejudiced against it.
Second—The mode of operation is in perfect
harmony with the avowed principles of our
Church. The institution is under the sole control
of the Bishop of the Diocese, who also has the
entire charge of all the religious instruction at the
Episcopal Hospital, adjoining the Memorial
House, and with which it is so intimately con
nected. The Bishop appoints one or more super
visors, clerical or lay, with whom be confers, and
to whom he confides the general management of
the Institution during the term of their appoint
ment.
The in terrial manngement of the House is under
the charge of a Lady Principal appointed by the
Bishop ; she alone can admit members into the
family, and with the aid of a council of advice,
determine what sphere of duty is best suited to
each inmate.
The first term is for six months, and the next
for not less than one year nor longer than three.
The services are gratuitous. The inmates also
contribute towards the expenses when able; or if
without means, a small allowance will be made
for clothing when they enter upon the second
term.
There are three departments : Nursing, mis
sion work and parish schools ; but the primary
object in each department is religions instruc don.
Two ladies of large and successful experience,
with the highest aptitude for teaching and train
ing,as well as for working in their special depart
ments, have entire control over the members of
the household during working hours. The
workers interchange duties occasionally, or are
transferred from ono department to another as
their services are needed or to increase their
Suture usefulness.
The Nursing Department does not include any
menial service that can be as well done by un
educated persons; but just such offices as a sister
performs for a brother in whose body and soul
she has a loving interest. These experienced
ministering women instinctively adapt their in
struction, readings and prayers to the ever vary
ing condition of sufferers, and their kindly offices
prepare the mind and heart to receive the good
seed there sown so freely. The ladies attend to
the preparation of the special diet which is used
in the wards, and see that it is properly served;
they give directions as to personal cleanliness
and other proprieties of lite, and they comfort
the patients by numberless acts of kindness,
sometimes giving them secular instruction and
teaching the daily Bible classes.
Nursing has thus far been confined almost ex
clusively to the wards of the Hospital, but the
services of these ministering women wilt in due
time be extended to the surrounding district, and
when their numbers increase and they become
more perfectly organized, their sphere of loving
labors can be enlarged. The efficient lady who
has charge of the miming department gives the
learners the advantage of her large experience
and high skill, 'and they confer with her in all
difficult cases.
In the Missionary Apartment the ladies attend
at the Dispensary in order to form the acquaint
ance of applicants for bodily relief, • and engage
actively in every service that has been ,found suc
cessful in the most aggressive parishes, including
systematic visiting and teaching from house to
house. Members of the Memorial House em
ployed in this department are counselled and
aided by a lady thoroughly trained and success
ful in home missionary work, who allows them
to be present when she teaches large Bible classes
and conducts mothers' meetings. She also ac
companies them in their 'visits until they learn
how to open homes and hearts, and to draw
adults and children to God's House with the
cords of love.
Such privileges have high value ; for whenever
the teacher is also the sympathizing friend, an
important truth is revealed, for it is then ascer
tained that the field is white, all ready to harvest.
The Parish School Department bas not been or
ganized, because the number of ladies is as yet
insufficient for work that is more direct in its
bearing on the soul. Some of the members of
the Memorial Howe conduct a largo sewing
school, and others teach in a night school, which
is under the charge of one of the associate ladles.
Until the family increases, it is proposed to Bend
any ladles who desire special training in this de
pants eat, to the day and night-schools at St.
Mark's Church, Frankford, where a most skilful
teacher will afford all the help that learners can
desire.
Third—The work accomplished in the first year
has exceeded the moderate expectatious of the
projectors of the Bishop Potter Memorial House.
The Lady Principal opened the House on the sth
of April, 1867; . during the first month the number
increased to six, and before the 'close of the year
thirteen members were enrolled. God has abun
dantly blessed the devoted labors of the House
mother, for her adopted children love and revere
her; there has been perfect harmony in the house
hold,•and each member has obviously grown In•
grace, in spiritual efficiency and in a happiness
that will endure.
The first lady who canto served faithfully and
acceptably, both in the Mission and in the Hoe
pita' Departments, and renewed her engagement;
but before the close of the year her services were
so much needed at the house connected with. the
Midnight Mission that, at the earnest solleltation
of two of your clergy, she was allowed to repre
sent the Memorial House in that effort to raise
up the fallen. She is now in charge of their
home. , The•clergy, with the lady'managers, bear
the strongest testimony to her high efficiency,
,Which she attributes, under God, entirely to her
training at the Memorial House, arid without
Whieh she could' pot have undertaken the Wink;

That lady bad for years been Imaging for such
a sphere of duty. Letters Writteeto her friends
during her se jurn at the Morterial Rouse show
bow much she enjoyed the high, privilege of.
flying in a community where all is for Christ.
The great aim of her life was reached; it proved to
be the.gale of Heaven, and she left this testimony,
that the last three months were the brightest in
r life. The Home-mother and her fellow
workers Pureed her most tetulerly and faithfullY , ,,
raiding with the kind matron of the Hospital ie
performing with their - own: hands the hot sad
offices, and taking their finalleave of her mortal
rremair a atOthe Coffin was closed at the concluelou
of the funeral' services in the Hospital Chapel.
Three of the Mies were sent to the Memorial
Houk: by the Foreign Commdtee, to be trained
for the Church's 3liesion in Africa. One is there
as its first fruits in the missionary field, and an
other is still in training.
One lady was called home to wait on a dying
relative. Another ed upon a
different field of duty at thereluctantly
closeente of r the term of
probation—leaving seven ladles, including the
principal, in active and most acceptable
service—to be joined in a few days by two others.
Tree of the ladies who first entered the in
stitution, having served their six probationary
months i a manner that commended them most
highly to n
all who had the oversight of them, were
presented to you for the renewal of their engage
ment. A sketch of the services on that interest
lug oecaeion is appended to this report._
The Memorial ladies, one and all, realize fully
the advantages 'of their position, for however lim
ited their powers may now be in their own esti
mation, their efficiency in spiritual work hasbeen
increased a hundred fold. The managers of the
Hospital, in their ieport, and the chaplain, bear
testimony to the high value of their services;
but those who have the closest personal super
visiob of their sell -sacrificing zeal and efficiency
pay the strongest tribute to the value of their la
bors. There lies a convalescent over whom they
watched by turns for six days and nights, when
the typhoid fever sunk her to the very gate of
death; listen to the warm gushings of her
heart, es she thanks Jesus first, and next
the kind ladies as His messengers. The dying
have been soothed' and comforted with loving
acte and words of prayer and praise by these
ministering women, and many of the living say
that the new atmosphere of Christian love that
they breathed in the Hospital inspired them with
the first desire after a new life, and induced
firmer resolves, made, not in - reliance upon their
own S,lTllgth. Some of the wildest specimens of
humanity have been tamed through their minis
trations, and in many cases the strongest testi
mony to the beneficial change in patients who
have left the Hospital has been borne by their
former comrades.
Allhearts are touched when little sufferers who
were wont to cry piteously at the leave-taking
of their mother, now smile its they give her the
parting kiss, and cling to one who is a true
mother by caring for both soul and body.
31any a spark of Divine love has been freshly
kindled or tanned into a glow in the breasts of
the numerous visitors,when they have heard from
their enfrering friends of the loving kindnesses of
these Christian women.
When the fatherless children and widows come
to the Hospital to mourn over their dead, these
ladies comfort them with the comfort wherewiti
they have been comforted by their Lord, joining
in the last rites of the Church When the mortal
remains are taken into the Chapel.
In the Missionary Department, the labor of
love performed by these ladies and by their asso
elide workers who reside in the city, has wrought
a. moral and spiritual diatom in many hearts and
homes. Mothers have been taught how to de
velop. cherish and guide the higher life in their
children, Wives have learned through .then .
sympathizing friends to lift the mind and heart
above the corroding cares of incessant house
hold drudgery, to become thrifty, forbearing, ge
nial, making the home radiant with genuine
piety. Husbands, realizing the beneficial change
wrought by the visits of Christian women, have
been weaned from demoralizing haunts and
drawn to Christ and to the Church.
Such families are slow to leave that neighbor
hood, but when necessity compels them to go,
they aro transferred to ladies who in other par
ishes conduct mothers' meetings and Bible
classes, and by them introduced to the ministers.
Strong testimony to the judicious visits and
valuable services of the Memorial ladies has been
borne by the families thus transferred. The
managers of several church institutions have
already applied for trained ladies to render the
efficient services they need, and some , rectors
who have resolved to reclaim the great worlOng
class, make urgent appeals to the .ilouse-mother
for her children, to aid in training the zealous
women of their parishes. There are locations
not very far from the Memorial House whore
churches will be erected as soon as ladies
can be 'procured to aid the minister by visiting
systematically from house to house, and by con
ducting mothers meetings and Bible classes.
Not having silver and gold at their disposal,
'he Memorial ladies give their time, their talents.
:heir Christian sympathy and the advantage of
heir experience, education and observation, for
he benefit of the less favored, who are thuslifted
up and prepared to receive still better things.
The Memorial House was conceived, brought
'orth and cherished by prayer; therefore God
hill send the best of her daughters to be there
trained in prayerful work, similar institutions
will soon spring up in all parts of the land ; and
with the help ot trained women, each parish may
become the centre of large aggressive missionary
operations.
Although this appropriate tribute to the me
mory of Bishop otter is pa
cable of indefinite ex
pansion iu the d P itection he indicated,yet as other
monuments had been conceived earlier, it was
deemed best not to Interfere with them by solicit
ing any pecuniary aid for the Memorial
%Vhen the plans have been s ummatedcoe
or abandoned, money will no doubt flow freely
into this channel , that is so well calculated to irri
gate and fertilize the Church. Until that time, a
few friends of Bishop Potter and of this enter
prise will continue to defray the current expenses,
and increase the accommodations when needed.

rc na theeame domedttee,leverted hack,
a substitute for the joint resolution introdneed some
time 'once byllr. •Waenburn, Of Wisconsin4to regu
latethe tariff on freletit and parmengere on the ;Union
and Central Pacific railroads and other branched The
substitute provides for a Board of Commissioners, to
consist of the Secretary of War, Secretary of the In
terior, and the Attorney-General of the United Staten,
to establish annually a tariff. of prices; for freight and
passengers, provided that it shall not take effect until
there ehall be a oantinuona line of 'railroad completed
anitin rind:big order from Omaha to [Sacramento. •
Mr. Verson seggested that the . proviso seemed
rather calculated to retard than to accelerate the com
pletion of the road, and therefore the proviso should
be struck out.
Mr Pracirtvive as a reason for the proviso the fact
that by the eighteenth section of the original bill the
.superrieorypowerofConvrestorcrthe subject only
aindied when the roads should be Malebo&
Mr. UPSON replied to that argument that Congress
'had reserved Wright to titer, amend and repeal the
act.
Ms. Joiresos, of California, asked Mr. Price to ac
'cent tm amendment to the sunstituto by adding tee
following.: o =4nd provided further, that the tariff of
prices wy axed she)) not exceed eight cents per mile
per ton' for freight, and . six Cents per mile for pas
.sengera
-ItLaYallUll said he had no authority to adept the
ateendment.
Mr. Watittitrier, Oflndiana, asked Mr. Price when
the jeint'-restdittion would probably take effect
Mr. Paws replied that. in judging the future by the
pest, it would take effect in about twenty years.
Mr. Vert Wren, of New York. having had ten min
ute& allowed to him, spoke of the immense value of
the grant made to the Pacific Railroad Company, and
commented on the fact that the advantages were be
ing gradually monopolized, until at the last report
there were but fifty-te shareholders in the ; Central
Pacific Reliroad Company.. Lie protested againtir the
injatiticecif letting these companies impose ouch high
'tariffs on freight and passengcms.
Mr. Rather having fifteen minutes allowed to him,
spoke O. the anhatithte as being .oasitt and unsub
onantiateAL
Mr. Jotaisort spoke of the high rates which people
had to pay on the California end of the road, being ten
cents a mile for passengers and fifteen cents per ton
per mile for freight, in gold.
Mr. CLAIM'S, of Kansas, made a like complaint on
behalf of ,the people of his Mate, and offered an
amendment providing that the tariff to be fixed should
in no case exceed double the average rates charged on
the different lines el railroads between the Missiselp
pi River and , the Atlantic Ocean in latitudes north of
tit. Lords.
Mr. FARNSWORTH moved that the joint resolution
be recommitted. with instruction to report a bill reg
ulating the tariff on freight and fares on the Blade
Railroad. lie did not believe in the policy of patting
it out of the power of Congress to regulate that tariff.
He did not believe in putting the power into the hands
of any three men. who might either he friendly or un
friendly to these railroads, nor in putting it into the
control of other railroad companies which might be
friendly or unfriendly.
The morning hour being about to expire, Mr. Pnrcs
moved the previous queetien, which was seconded,
the Mr. Price being , thus entitled to one hoar to close
the discussion, divided his time among the members
who desired to make remarks.
Mr. WAPIIBVICIN, of Ma, moved to strike out
the proviso of the substitute.
Mr. Prerx favored the adding to the commie ion
two men, to be selected for their experience in
railroad matters.
Mr. Doxasux spoke for ten minutes in general de
fense of the Pacific Railroad companies.
Mr. 111GRY proposed that the Pacific Railroad ("Ann
mittee or some caber cotannttee should be instructed
to make a then:mai investigation of the matter, and
ascertain what freights and passengers can be carried
for. and then Congress should fix the amount of prices.
If they proceeded in that way they could have proper
legislation on the subject, but he had no facts on the
levislation proposed in the joint resolution.
Mr. eovons spoke as one having great experience
on the subject of organizing transportation, and de
clared that railroads in Pennsylvania could afford to
carry freight for one-third of what it could be carried
for on the Pacific Railroad; the reason being the sup
ply of fuel in Pennsylvania, and the absence of it along
the line* of the Pacific Henreid. He declared that
the time had not come to ex the tariff of prices on the
Pacific Railroad, the arterial bill having provided
that the prices should be axed only on the completion _
of the rood. The protttira was now nude to take
the power out of the U.Ws of Congress and put into
the han...* the fifty- three gentlemeu.
Re hoOsd . the Pact& Railroad would hesitate a mo
ment if they wanted i,, charge exorbitant prices.
lie could toy the fifty-three mm cheaper than he
could two leandrort. Ile bad tried it on (laughter),
and knew %, hat could be done with the head of a de
partment. lie had acquired some knowledge on the
subject thl% session. Reads of departments were
purchasable it members of Congress were, and who
should know better than the representatives of the
people what the wants of the people are.
Mr. ELIOT asked Mr. Covode what the average
price of members of the Cabinet was. but be did not
reply.
Mr. Pax replied to the general reflections made
upon railroad corparations, and remarked that many
members were present whose districts would now be
trackless wildernesses if it had not been for rail
roads.
Mr. CLARICE, of Kamm, remarked that merchants
in Topeka used ox teams for the transportation of
their freights to heavenworte as being cheaper than
the railroad rates charged between those points.
Mr. Pnx went on to argue that the effort to regu
late this subject by enactment is impracticable, and
can produce no favorable result. •
Mr. Isosn. , :cdx argued at length in favor of the
policy of regulating the subject, and protecting the
interests of the people against the exactions of the
railroad companies.
air., Wagon of Illinois, mentioned that the
gentleman from W nein (Mr Washburn) had pre
pared a speech on the subject, but WllllOOlll to attend
the session of the Moose to-day, and he asked and ob
tained leave for that gentleman to print his speech in
• the (,lobe.
He favored the amendment of the gentleman from
Indiana, (Mr, Washburn.) and of the gentleman from
Kansas (Mr. Clarke). Ile believed that with the adop
tion of the amendments the jointresolution would be
acceptable to the country.
Mr. Woooriamoz, hi response to the assertions as
to the immense value of the Pacific Railroad charters,
alluded to the fact that the sir per cent. bond!, paya
ble, interest and principal, In gold, were selling at
ninetyaarats,ao the dollar, and that the stock was
gob:gal:egging at a little over fifty 'cents. He re
marked that revere!. .times within the last two or
thtee years the entire work would-have been stopped
but for the patriotism and holdneas, and the money of
a member of the Moose, 'hr. Ames. He argiied that
by the terms of the original bill, the government had
no right to interfere.to fix; the tariff of prices until
the profits of the company amounted to ten per cent:
Mr. PRICE closed the :debate in an argument in
support of the joint resolution. Ile suggested that if
these restrictiontwere imposed, it was within the
power of possibility that the companies which had
now the meat diffimilt and expensive part of the work
to conatrocrraight leave oft operation; and in that

AYER'S (`BERRY PECTORAL, FOR DISEASES Of
THE THROAT AND LUNGS, SUCH AS COUGHS.
COLDS. WHOOPING COUGH, BRONCHITHLASTIIMA
A.ND CONSUMPTION.
_ Probably never before in the whole history of medicine
has anything won so widely and so deeply upon the confl
deuce of mankind, as this excellent remedy for pulmo
nary complaints. Through a long series of years, and
among most of the races of men it has risen higher and
higher in their estimation, as it has become better imown.
Its uniform character and power to cure the various at
fections of the lungs and throat, have made it known as a
reliable protector against them. While adapted to milder
forma of - disease and to young children, it is at the same
time the most effectual remedy that can be given for in
cipient consumption, and the dangerous affections of the
throat and lungs. As a provision against sudden attacks
of Croup, it should be kept on hand iu every family, and
indeed as all are sometimes subject to colds and coughs,
all should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought incurable,
still great numbers of cases where the disease seemed
settled, have been completely cured, and the patient re
stored to sound health by the Cherry Pectoral. So corm
plete is its mastery over the disorders of the Lungs and
Throat, that the most obstinate of them yield to it. VVhen
nothing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pectoral
they subside and disappear.
byngera and Public Speakers find great protection
from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly cured by it
Bronchitis is generally cured by taking the Cherry Pea
Coral in small and frequent desert •
So generally are its virtues known that we need not
publish the certificates of them here, or do more than
assure the public that its qualities are fully maintained.
AYER'S AGUE CURE, FOR FEVER AND AGUE. IN
TERMITTENT FEVER, CHILL FEVER, REMIT
TENT FEVER, DUMB AGUE, PERIODICAL R
BILIOUS FEVER, &C., AND INDEED ALL THE AF FECTIONS WHICH ARISE • FROM mArARIOUIi,
MARSH, OR MIASMATIC POISONS.
As its name implies, it does Cure,and does not fail.
tlining neither Arsenic, Quinine, Bismuth, Zinc, nor
other mineral or poisonous substance whatever, it in us'
wise injures any patient. The number and importance
of its cures in,the ague districts are literally beyond an
count, and we believe without a parallel in the history of
Ague medicine. Our pride is gratified by the acknowl
edgments we receive of the radical cures effected in ob -
stinate cases,and where other remedies had wholly failed.
Unaccltmated persons, either resident in, or traveling!
throush miasmatic localities, will be protected by taking
the AGUE CURE daily.
