can thinking, the waning of prestige and
ideas of divine rights, and the preparation for
selfgovernecieut, that have been going on in ,
the minder_of the British people during the
reign oFthice• present Queen.— Dr. Draper
sext furnishes a good practical article, of the
weighty and Tellable character to be:expected
from his reputation, about the adulteration ot .
Coffee. This paper should be read by all
housekeepers; we extract a sample: ;
10311000EY ) EYE, IBTO.,ThI GROCERS' COFFEE. '
The foreign substances used in the adulte
ration of coffee are very numerous, but that
generally employed is chiccory, succory, or
wild endive, which may be seen growing
wild in the vacant lots in various parts of
New York island, and in the fields in its
vicinity. It may be recognized by its flower,
which is of a blue color; it generally opens
at, about eight in the morning, and closes at
four in the afternoon. .The root is perennial,
yellow on the outside, and about the thick
ness of. the finger; s, chiceory ,w . formerly,
and is still regarded by :many as a weed, but,
nevertheless, it is - used in Kene countries as
food for cattle; atis said to increase the yield
etrailk• Wberi blanched it makes excellent
salad, andlavery generally employed for this
purpose ~in the spring. •The root is the
part use ,in the adulteration of coffee,
and the „pleat is , extensively cultivated for
this - purpose in Belgiuni, Germany. England,
and purtotne market on Lung Island. It
is taken up in-September, scraped and care
fully :washed, then split and cut into lengths
of yeo. or, three inches, dried in an oven, and
sintinto i nto, market in bags. For the pur
pose-Of the . coffee adulteration it is afterward
cetinto small pieces, roasted and ground to a
coarse powder, resembling ordinary coffee;
and iti this state sold 'for about fifteen cents a
pound, good coffee being worth forty-five or
fifty cents.
The decootion of the unroasted root is bit
ter, and Was formerly given as an, aperient
suad;ettenuating medicine; that of the roasted
powder has a mawkish taste, between mo
bases and liquorice. It is hardly necessary
say that the market value arises solely.from
employment for the purpose of adulterating
coffee. It has none of the valuable proper
deli of that berry, and is virtually a mixture
of woody fibre, gum and sugar. As regards
its physiological properties, nothing can be
said in its favor; but, on the contrary, it is
very apt to produce nausea and dyspepsia. It
is not, therefore, the harmless substance that
some would have us think, but to many it is
positively hurtful, and should be avoided, by
all, and especially by those who are liable to
attacks of indigestion.
If the buyer of ground coffee could feel as
sured that the article he purchased was only
adulterated with chiccory, he might perhaps
continue to use, and in the course of time
even - become accustomed to %without having
bis appetite for the beverage disturbed; but
*bile the coffee adulterator is chuckling at
the cheat he practises on the consumer, he is
in his turn the victim of the tricks of the Chic
cory dealer, who, profiting by the example of
his customer, adds to his chiccory refuse car
rots, parsnips, turnips, spoika biscuit, corn,
peas and beans, acorns, burnt sugar, saw
duet, red earth, burnt rags, oakum or rope
yarn, exhausted tan or oak bark, tar residue,
and other similar appetizing substances. It
is not, therefore,wise to take the advice given
by some that we add chiccory to the coffee
we have ourselves roasted and ground; for,in
the first place, it is of no use whatever, ex
cept to deepen the color, which may be done
just as well by a little burnt sugar, and se
condly, we may be adding some of the very
suggestive substances mentioned above.
The samples of adulterated coffee that
have examined have generally contained large
quantities of bread, which is probably as
harniless as anything that could be used for the
purpose, and perhaps the cleanest, if we
could only feel sure that it had not passed
through the garbage -pail on its journey to
the coffee dealer. Another very common
adulteration is by roasted rye, which if of
good quality would also be perfectly harm
less, but it is evident that as the object of the
sophisticator is to swindle his customer, he
will certainly purchase the cheapest article ho
can find, and since good rye commands a
good price,he will use an article that is either
spoiled, or perhaps spurred or ergot rye, the
properties of which are so well known that
it is not necessary to mention them here,
except to state that often they are not en
tirely destroyed by the heat to which the
grain is subjebted in roasting; and this may
be sometimes the cause of those serious acci
dente or troubles that result in the breaking
down of the health of married women. Ergot
or smarted rye was also at one time generally
opposed to produce mortification of the
extremities, and though this is now denied, it
is not absolutely proved in the face of the
experience of the past, that there may not be
some variety of diseased rye that is capable of
producing this result. In view of these prob
abilities, it would at least be wise to avoid the
purchase of the so-called rye coffee, or of
the adulterated coffee that might contain dis
eased rye.
In addition to the substances we have men
boned, Aossall states that in various parts of
London, but more especially in the east,
liver,bakers are to be found, who take the
livers of cattle and of horses that have died,
bake them, and pied them into a powder,
which they sell to the keepers of low-priced
toffee houses for a few pence a pound; he
also adds that the horse liver coffee corn
mends the highest price. The coffee pro
pared from such material may be known by
allowing it to stand till cold, when a thick,
shining pellicle forme on the surface, an ap
pearance, doubtless, familiar to many of the
readers of this article.

At half-past twelve o'clock Gov. Ward and the

Randolph the oath of office. This ceremony
being over, Governor Ward arose and addressing
Mr Randolph, said, - Sir, I take pleasure in com
mitting to 3 our care the groat Seal of the State
of New Jersey," at the same time presenting hits
with the Scal of State. Mr. Little then intro
&iced Governor Randolph to the audience, when
he delivered hie luaugurul address, which was
listened to with profound attention and loudly
applauded, and from which wo extract the
following:
"We meet under circumstances demand

tet ed the hall of the House, and the joint conven
tion proceeded to the formal election of United
States Senator.
It now appeared that the following had been
the result of the separate elections:
St nate—For John Scott 17 votes; for William
A. Wallace, 13 votes; for Heisler Clymer, 1 vote.
House—For John Scott, 61 votes; for William
A. Wallace., 38 votes.
The certificate of election was awarded to Hon.
John Scott, of Huntingdon.
The Senators having retired, "An act extend
ing the term of the Receiver of Taxes until the
pie:sent legal contest Is decided" was considered
in its regular order.
Mr. Strang, of Tioga,
asked the unanimous
consent of the House to offer an amendment
providing that Mr. Peitz, Receiver, shall renew
his sureties in such manner and to such amount
as required by existing laws. The amendment
was agreed to.
Mr. McGinnis argued in opposItIon:to the bill,
saying that it attacked the rights of the people.
He also spoke of the Dispatch, Bulletin Tele
graph and Post as Republican papers whirl op
posed the bill.
Mr. Davis, of Phila., said that frauds enough
bad already been proved to give Mr. Peltz his
of and this simple extension of time would
be of no pecuniary benefit to him and no loss to
Melloy. because all the profits would go into the
hands of a court receiver. life urged the Repnt)
ikon members to follow the advice of the twelve
members from Philadelphia who were in favor of
the passage of this local bill. If Melloy went
into office), ho would have the appointment of
collectors to serve for one year, and
these would be ready to issue bogus tax
receipts enough to do great damage to the Re
publican party at the next election. So far as
the newspapers are concerned, the
Dispatch was not Republican, for its editor was a
staunch Democrat, and there was no use in
quoting other guerilla sheets, some of which
never support'-d the carididtites of the party. At
least two well known Republican authorities. the
Press and North American, had expressed no dis
sauslkiction. The measure really was a party
measure, because the Democrats had made it so
by having it before their caucus. Ho asked the
passage of the enactment for various reasons,
among others to keep the eletelons in Philadel
phia from becoming
us fraudulent and corrupt as
hose of New York. It had been proved before
out of the investigating committees now in sea
sion that at the last election one man had voted
twenty times.
Mr. McGinnis said that the members were not
so simple as to heed the threats of the last speak
t r. It would not be necessary for Peitz (If the
contest was decided in his favor) to keep Melloy's
appointees in online. The subject had not been
before the Democratic caucus.
Mr. Davis asked whether it had not been al
luded to? In response to which there were cries
of "No," "no."
Mr. Play ford sustained the assertion CI Mc-
Ginnis, and proved by Purdon's Digest that the
Receiver of Taxes, whoever he might be, would
bate power to discharge his collectors at pleasure.
Be explained that personally_he had been absent
from Harrisburg when the bill was up Oa Monday
night last.
Mr. Strang, of Tioga, explained a testy remark
that be bad made on Monday evening last,by say
ing that the only thing he objected Co about tin
bill was the manner of its introdnelon. The
country members did sometimes like to-have It
appear, publicly, at least, that they were allowed ,
to exercise their own judgment. Thu evidence
was patent that fronds had been committed in
Philadelphia; and when such a primafacie case
was made out, things should be allowed to TO
main in slant qao until the contest was settled
The majority cif the Philadelphia members fd
vored the bill.
Mr. Rogers said that the prima facie ease war
in favor of Mr. Melloy, who had a eertificale,
signed by the return judges, two-thirds of whom
were Republicans. The bill would rot prevent.
fraud, and If Mr. Strang wished to vote with the
majority he would vote against the bill, because
the Democrats now represented the majority of
the citizens of Philadelphia Mr. Rogers con.,
tinned at length, but was interrupted at three
mintries before one o'clock (the House adjourns
arode) by Mr. Davis, who called the previous
question, thus preventing further debate. The
call was sustained.
The House then agreed, by G 4 ayes to 40 noes,
to out the main question on the final paesage Cl
the bill, and it was passed finally by 60 ayes to 41
noes.
All the Republicans voted for the bill except
Me sere. Walker. Edwards and Nicholeon—the lat
ter of whom said that the bill was "as wrong as
wrong could be." and that as a political measure
it was a blunder worse than a crime.
All the Democrats voted against the bill.
Before the bill was passed finally by the House,
Mr. Josephs suggested that the second section.
requiring the of Taxes to pay over
the funds to the court receiver, should be rein
stale d. (It was struck out yesterday).
This was agreed to by the Republicaue,and the'
section was in* erted.
The following is the bill as passed and sent to
the Senate for concurrence :
Biacriou 1. That during the said contest now
pending in the court of Common Pleas between

Mr. Waebburne asked Mr. Farnsworth to
accept a substitute repealing all laws and parts of
' laws conferring the franking privilege on any
person whatever.
Mr. Farnsworth declined to allow the substi

not pass. After considerable discussion,
Mr. Miller moved to add to the second section
the words "except correspondence with the Com
missioner of Pensions." Rejected.
Mr. Johnson moved to lay the bill on the table.
Negatived._
Mr. Ferry moved to strike out the second sec
tion. Agreed to. Yeas, 123; nays, 56.
The bill containing the ode section only was
then passed without division.
Mr. Julian offered a resolution instructing the
Committee on Banking and Currency to inquire
into the expediency of providing by law that ex
istirg contracts, and those that may hereafter be
made, may be acquitted and paid in gold, on the
basis of the relative value of gold and United
States notes.
Mr. Farnsworth,from the Reconstruction Com
mittee, reported a bill for the removal of disa
bilities from a largo number of persons in the
Southern States.
The bill was passed by the requisite two-thirds
vote.
Mr: Schenck gave notice in reference to the
bill introduced by him to-day to strengthen tie
public credit, and in relation to gold contracts
that in a week or two hence, when the business
of the House would admit, ho expected to be au
lhorized by the Committee of Ways; and Means to
r port it back, and to submit some remarks le
support of it. An opportunity would be offered
for discussion, and he would then try to get the
uction of the House upon it.
Mr. Garfield offered a resolution for a select
committee of seven to inquire and repert as to;
he legislation necessary to provide for tatting ;

,The House, at a quarter past 3, resumed the

The Wu' Juan Controverey.
The befit cannected with the Ban dnan contro
versy between Gxeat Britain and the United
States, and the vital importance of the amicable
settlement of the dispute, appear to have been
lost sight of, and even among officials in who are
Op - Posed to be advised, there - is much, quiry, tit
get an understanding of the importance of the
convention now beforOthei_Benate for ratification.
From official documentsa your correspondent
gathers the following.) It is well known that for
forty years or more prior to 1816, all that terri
tory west of the RockYogountains, between the
latitudtvtof 4.2.and”b4,40,,was In dispute, between
the United States and Great Britain each claim
lag lb:aright. of Sovereignty lb: be in Itself, tind
denying the right of the other.' In 1846, the two
governments concluded a treaty in which the line
of bopodury between the Unitedittates and Great
Britain was to be continued westward along the
forty-ninth parallel of north httitudo to the mid
dle of the channel which separates the continent
frtim.:Faxicottver's brand, and thence southerly
through the middle' f said 'cllzoinel and of Face
Btratta to Pacific Ocean.
Out ,of this verbal description of a ,water line
of boundary through the middle of the channel
which separates the continent from Vancouver's
Island, Ac..,a new controversy arose between the
two'governments,Great Britain claiming that the
Rosario strait is the channel intended by the
Veaty. thus' giving to ber all the islands in the
Hare Archipelago, the United States claiming
that the Canal de Hero is the channel Intended
by :the" treaty, thus giving to them the Hero
ArchiPettgo, of which Ban Juan- Island
forms a part. The claims and pretensions of
Great Britain under the treaty of 1845 were made
knoWn to the President of the United States
through Mr. Bancroft, our Minister In London,
as early as November, 1846. These claims were
promptly rejected by the President, as being
without sufficient foundation, and the claims of
the - United Buttes under the treaty were made
anon to the British authorities. Diplomatic
correspondence on the subject ensued, which re
sulted in the appointment of two commissioners,
one on the part of each government, for the
purpose of carrying into effect the
first ' 'article of the treaty of 1846.
by totaling and marking out that part of the wa
ter boundary linewhich separates the Washington
Territory from the British possessions. This was
In 1856. Each government instructed Its own
Commissioner. Congress appropriated nearly
twenty thousand dollars for the purpose of es
tablishing this bounded
In ! line. The commission
ers Met June, 1867, and after spending many
months in endeavoring to accomplish the object
of the joint commission, failed to agree, and re
ported the result to their various governments.
,Diploalatic correspondence was again resumed,
and no ilnal settlement of the controversy has
yet been made. During all the time Mace 1816
until the present each Government, as ie well
known, has adhered to its construction and un
derstanding of the treaty. Each has invariably
asserted its claim to the island of San Juan and
others In the Hero Archipelago, by acts and
public declarations too plain and emphatic to be
misunderstood, and more than once during that
period the controversy has assumed aspects which
made:war almost inevitable.
From this brief summary of facts, it would
seem to follow as a legitimate conclusion, first,
that the boundary line between Washington Ter
ritory and Vancouver's Island, verbally described
in the treaty
and
1846, has never been located and
determined,and that so far se that part ot the
boundary line is concerned the first article of the
treaty ot 1846 has never yet been carried into ef
fect. Second. That neither of the two Govern
ments has ever yielded or surrendered to the
other the right of sovereignty over San Juan
and the other islands lying between
the Rosario strait 'arid the Canal do Haro.
Third. That these islands are disputed territory,
and that any determined exercise of the exclusive
envereignty on the part of either govern
ment would lead to a declaration of war by the
other. In' the light ot these facts, the impo'rtance
of the treaty now before the Senate can be appre
ciated when it is explained that the treaty con
templates.dri amicable settlement of.. this contro
versy by, the submission of the dispute to the ar
bitrament of the President of Switzeriand.--Led

'Elie Alabama Claims.
The litraeliinitoii deepateb to the Public Ledger
The cable despatekot last night from London
giveit what purports to be a synopsis of the re
cent convention between the United States and
Great Britain tor the settlement of , the Alabama
and other claims. This synopsis is more nearly
correct as to points 'of protocol than any yet
published. In some of the published statementik
sent lama), tivo articles are givekwhich aro not
given„in,,,tho convention, namely, that all 'cases
adjudicated by our admiraltycourts are - excepted
Irma the commissions, and that the neutrality of
all British subjects submitting claims must be
shown. These features are not found in the pro
tocol.. There were some polatti in the treaty
