The Preddentl . Special Mune.
We publish..to-dayi_entire, the special
message of the President, with the report
of Githeral Grtutt; and ask fititheni a care=
ful pert:ilia! from all. They contain facts,
and theciries which sharply define
the issue between the President and the
anti-union, negro radicals of his party.
The'President says that restoration is
succeeding admirably, the people are
earpestly submissive to the authorities,
and entitled to representation in Con
gress. Ho sends Gram's report to-the
Sainte because be thinks• it reliable; but
sends a report from Carl Schurx—a revo
lutionary fanatic from Europe, wbo is not
familiar, with nor friendly to a free sys
tem of government—because it was asked
for, and hints that it is not to be consid
ered fair' or reliable. Gen. Grant agrees
with the President, and thinks that a few
troops should be kept South till civil law
is fully restored, but tells us that black
troops are worse than useless--posi
tively injurions—and should be removed.
Where the freed negroes are numerous,
troops should be stationed to keep them
in subjection; but where there are only
a few' negroes no troops are needed, as
the whites can protect themselves. He .
agrees with the President that the SCuth
should be represented in Congress. He
thinks the freedman's bureau is produc
tive of Mich mischief, as its agents act
according to their' own notions, and are
responsible to no authority, besides being
a heavy and needless expense; and he
suggests !that the military officers take
charge of their duties and send them
home—a suggestion - that will cause mach
growling among. the plundering crew of
mischief-makers that now infests the
country. No wonder these documents
arousedthe shriekers in and out of Con
gress. Reid them carefully, and pre
serve for_
- fature referencen,
The Number of States.
Bow many States are there in the Un
ion ? seems - now to become a proper in
quiry."' The President and Secretary of
State tell us there are 36 ; but Congress
gives out•that there are about 25. It
would appear from thin that several
States iiiitVinoved out,. or have been put
out since tbe shoddies got into power,
and that t hee President, who is thus set
down as n foreigner, has- not learned the
Met. Will 'some loyal ' organ, authorized
to speak by authority for the government.
—or some of its ProVost Marsharowners,
talk us how many States there ire, and
where they are'.
Party vs. Conscience.
, Thad Stevens is, the slave-driver in the
House, as Sumner is in the Senate; and
an exchange, referring to the procrastin
ation resolution of -old cloven feet, re
marks that'
"The author- of this. resolution long ago
discarded conscience in his political oper
ations. Is 1838, at the capital of Penn
sylvania, he whipped his party followers
into the wicked measure of attempting to
set aside the elections by the people, and
foist upon the Commonwealth a minority
candidate for Governor and a minority
Legislature. There were three honest
members of the mine party with Mr. Ste
vens who refused to carry out these treas
onable practices, namely, Messrs. Butler
and Sturdentani,, of Lucerne county, and
Dientelins, of Union county. The latter
testified before the committee of investi
gado* thet' be told Mr. Stevens that his
"conscience would not permit him to
sanction these corrupt proceedings."—
"Conscience, indeed, ' said Mr. Stevens,
"throw conscience to the devil, andstand
by your-party."
And Tbad's Buckshot war .motto new
prevails in the dominant party in . Con
gra&
Mr. Sumner bas ability and ought to
be useful, but his mind seems to have ta
ken an unfortunate - bias, which novripla
°es him in the position-of a factinnbfriath
er than that of a statesman.--Carboule
Advance. '
Very true; but we remind the Advance
that its entire party, almost, in Congress,
votes to snit Sumner; who shall
continue to belong to the Republican par.

The Divers in a Coal Shalt
• In the month of October last the valves
of the pump in the Shaft of the Carbon
Hill Colliery, Lackawanna Township, op
erated by DeWitt & Salsbury, got out of
order. The•pump being some fifteen feet
under water,'and in a shaft 246 feet deep,
it-was of course impossible to work at it.
A Donkey pump, and buckets wore put
in but no impression could be made upon
the water. Finally the idea was conceiv
ed ofsending for Messrs. Conklin d; Quinn,
Coast Wreckers and Submarine divers,
89 Wall street. They , came and took a
hasty view of a fac simile ofthe pump, and
understood at once what was to be done.
Mr. Conklin was under the water the first
time about two hours and a half, during
which time he unscrewed some 30 bolts
and removed the clack door, weighing
150 pound, and put in a new valve. At=
ter this Quinn went down and screwed
up the bolts—so that in four hours after
the divers commenced work the pump
was ill operation.
Mr. John Haggerty, an excellent diver,
also came with the party, but sickness
contracted by exposure in the swamps of.
Virginia and in clearing the James river
of torpedoes, prevented him from work.
The whole party had recently been en
gaged in clearing the James. Hagerty
was the man who recovered the Safe of
Adams Express Co., from the James riv
er.
Many readers will be curious to know
bow these men can exist under,water and
perform such 'lreavy work. Their armor
is rubber, and that of Mr. Conklin weigh
ed, with the leaden appendages to keep
him down, nearly 500 pounds, his own
weight being 160. The armor is tight in
all parts except at the end or the left
sleeve; has a brass top and glass front.
Gum tubing extends from the top of the
head Of the armor to the surface, through
which air is pumped to the diver and sig
nals given. In this instance the air dump
was placed in the second vein. A guy
rope was attached to the divers to lower
them down and hoist them. In most ca
ses divers do all their work by feeling.—

Kum TooLs.—Every farmer
should have a can of linseed oil and a
brush on hand, and whenever 'be buys a
new tool he should soak it well with the
oil, and dry it by the fire or in the sun
before using. The wood by this treat
ment is toughened and strengthened, and
rendered imprevions to water. Wet a
new bay rake and dry it, and it will be
gin to loose in the joints; but if well oil
ed, the wet will have but slight effect.
Shovels and forks are preserved from
checking and cracking in the top of the
handle by oiling, and the wood becomes
as smooth as glass by use, and is far less
liable to blister the hand when long used.
Axe and hammer often break off where
the wood enters the iron; this part par
ticularly ehould be toughened with oil, to
secure durability. Oiling the Wood in
the eye of the axe will prevent its swell
ing and shrinking and sometimes getting
loose.
Report of the Surveyor General.
The annual report of the Surveyor General of Pennsyl
vania for the year ending November 30th. 1865. Though
in the present exhibit of the affairs of the laud depart
ment the reeeipts are less than were represented in the
last annual report, the actual work done during the
present year exceeds that of any former year, The work
on the desks last year was g eater than the clerical force
of the officers was able to combat successfully, sothat
a large proportion of the receipts of ISt-i were for fees
and purchase money on unputented lands, for which
the necessary patents could not be issued in season.
The Petroleum excitement was partly the cause of this
almost unprecedented demand for patents in this State,
New York parties especially, a ould not accept dreus
for lands finless accompanied by patents from the Com
monwealth.
By art of Assembly at its last session the Surveyor
General was authorized to employ four extra clerk, and
he therefore strengthened his clerical force by these ad
diiipnal Appointments. Tha result was an increase I
amount of work done, so .hat now the Department is
not only able to keep pace with its ordinary daily host.
ness, but a large amount of the untlnished work of past
years is being brought up. During the present vear
the patent fees amounted to 59.11 . 1t16
Purchase money 2:t,SiMu
Copying fees 1,951350
Tottii receipts for the year t.41,41'2,67
A statement of the receipts for lan& during two years
and seven months from May Ist. 1853 to the prrsent
time, shows $143.503,71, to $129,708,73 received diving
nine years. from May 1, 1854, to May 1, 1881. Thts it
will be seen that the receipts for lands during Mr.
Barr's administration exceed by $13.794 the reeeipt, du
ring the three preceding full terms. leaving over ¢lOO.-
000 clear revenue to the State during the yet incomNete
term of Surveyor General Barr.
This report of the Surveyor General will be one of the
most interesting that has ever emanated from this De
partment, inasmnah as it will embrace a history ofthe
and affairs of Pennsylvania from the Penn charter to
the present day.

READ WHAT DR. SCHENCK IS DOING
DR,J.II. SCIIENL.K:
DEAR SIR feel it a duty I owe t 3 yon, and to all
who ire suffering under the diseases known as Con
sumption and Liver Complaint, to let them tn.,w
what great benefits I have received from your Puimo.
sic Syrup and Seaweed Tonic in so short a time. By
the blessing of Got it has cured me thus far.
Schenck, I will now make my statement to you,
as follows bout eighteen months ago I was attack
ed with a severs cough, and tt settled on my lungs; I
could not retain ai.yihing I ate, and suffered with ev
ening fevers and night sweats. I was very much re
duced. The whites of my eyes were very yellow; like
wise my skin; my appetite all cone, and unable to di
...est what I did eat; bowels swollen, irregu lar and cos
tive, I was very low spirited. and had such violent
spells ot caughing when I laid down at night and
when I arose in the morning that they would last one
or two hours.
I then would be nearly exhausted. and was entirely
unable to lie on my left side. 1 cannot describe my
wretched suffering as 1 would wish to do. Every or
gan in my body was diseased or deranged. Such was
my situation at this time, and I was confined to my
bed from the last of February, 1862 to June, 1862, not
able to sit up. I had the best of medical attendance
the whole of the time My cough was so very bad that
it racked me very much. lat this time raised rt large
quantity of thick, yellow offensive matter, sometimes
with blond, and it was generally accon panted by natl.
sea and a furred and thick coated tongue. .At the time
of coughing, so badly I would have sharp, shooting
pains In my left side and heart, night sweats, and
soreness all through my whole Chest: bad muchln
ward fever. pain 1n my back and under my shoulder
blades and in the small of my back, and at times so se
vere that it would throw me into spasms. Now my
physic tans gave me up to die. Others I had, and the
best of theta, but they could do nothing for me. and at
that time 1 was nothing but skin and bones. I then.
was in the western part of Missouri In June last we
left there for the East, and in August last we came to
New York. and I was so reduced that I could only
walk a little with my husband's help. Alter 1 had been
here a short time the a tit water breeze made me feel
touch better fur a time and then I had again to call a
physician for aid. We had 'our of the beet physicians
of New York on the disea es of the longs, and doctors
of all kinds, hut of no avail. They said I was past cure,
and that my lungs were too far gone lorany one to cure
toe, But at this time I was on my feet about the house.
not able to do much of anything. In November last I
lgrew worse. and the consumption diarrhea set in and
asted about eight weeks. We hail tried all and every
thing. that I could grasp at like a dying person for my
disease—consumption and liver complaint—but of no
avail.
In January, 18fitl,T was brought down again on my
bed, and was not expected to live the nightont. My
husband Stayed at my side, and other friends, and they
all give me up to die: At this time every one who saw
me did not think I would ever leave my bed a living wo
man. The first night 1 was attacked with spasms, and
was deranged most of the time. A friend, Mrs. Harris,
came to see me the last of the week. and brought the
'Sunday Mercury. In it was an account of a great cure
performed by Dr. Schenck. She rend it to me. and it
wee so much like my disease that I asked my husband to
on and see him for me. It this time I had given up all
hopes of ever getting well again, and made my peace
with God. to be ready whenever he ca led for me.
On the 2:th of January, 1883, my husband called on
Dr. Schenck:, 82 Bond street, New 'York, and stated to
him my case, with a ,equest for him to call and see me,
which he did, and examined me with the respirometer,
When he was about to go I asked him if he could core
me? Ili s reply was " I cannot tell, both lungs are
diseased, and tqe bronchial tubes are affected on both
sides." And yet he set med to think there were lungs
enough left to effect a cure if the diarrhea could be
stopped. Ile said in order to do this, he would have to
give me Mandrake Pills in small doses at first, to carry
off the morbid ma ter, and then. with stringents, he
hoped to check it, which he did, but the constant
coughing, night sweets, and diarrhea had prostrated me
so that he was afraid my vital powers were too much
prostrated ever to rally, and yet he seemed to think if I
could live to get enough Pulmonic Syrup through my
system to cause expectoration there were lungs enough
let for me t,t recover. He wished me to try the Pulmo •
rile Syrup and Seaweed Tonic at once. saying it would
do me no harm, If it did me no good. The first week it
seemed to give me strength, eo that on Sunday after I
satrap in bed and ate hearty for a sick woman; but the
next week 1 lost all hope and wished my husband rw.t
to give tne any more medicine. But the doctor warned
him of this, and when the medicine . Was clearing out the
system it made theta feel somewhat restless, and to
perseveret,and he insisted on my taking It; and now I
feel the benefit of it. For after eight days Ibe to
gain my strength.and, with the exception of a cold ga that
put me back coma, I have been gaining strength of
body,lmy cough is going away, and all my pains are
gone; no soreness of the body, my bowels are regular.
and mybreatb is sweet ,rind I thank God that lam now
going about, and sew and read as well as ever I could.
!have takentsixteen bottles of the medicine, eight of
each. I now have a good appetite and rest well at
night; my cough does not trouble me in getting up or
lying down. I would here say to the afflicted with con
sumption or liver complaint, that Dr. Schenck is no
humbug. You can rely on what he says. Delay not; it
is dangerous to trifle with these diseases. If you
would be cured, go at once; and any one wishing to
know the facts as herein stated can call at my residence

Prit makes four different
. stitches—the lock, knot,
double lock; and double knot, on one and the same ma
chine. Each stitch being alike on both Wee of the fab
ric.
MEvery machine has the reversible feed motion,
which enables the operator, by simply turnfne a thumb
screw, to have the work run either to the right or left,
to stay auy part of the scam, or fasten the ends of scams
without turning the fabric.
rirThe only machine having a self-adjusting shuttle
tension—the amount of tension always being in exact
proportion to the size of the bobbin.
W Changing the length of stitch, and from one kind
of stitch to another, can mainly be done while the ma
chine is In motion.
riV"The needle is easily adjusted.
Or It Is almost noiseless, and can be used where qut
et is necessary.
ar Its motions are ail positive ; there are no springs
to get out of order, and its simplicity enables the most
inexpenenced to (inmate it.
tArlt does not require dncr thread on the under than
for the upper side, and will sew across the heaviest
seams, or from One to more thieknesses of cloth, with
out change of needle. tension. or breaking thread.
L--.7J — The Hemmer is easily adjusted and will turn any
width of hem desired.
rei—No other machine will do ! , o great a range of work
as the Florence.
rßrlt will hem, fell. hind. rather, braid, quilt, and
gather and sew on a ruffle at the same time.
The taking up of the slack thread Is not performed by
the irregular contraction of a wire coil or uncertain op-
eration of wire levers. The precision and nracv
with which the Florence draws the thread into the cloth
is unapproached in any Sewing Maclaine hitherto offered
in the market.
We furnish each machine with "Barnum's Self-Sew

value. especially to inexperienced operators:
illEr It le folly protected and licensed by Elan Rowe,
Jr., and hip associates, and our Lettere Patent.
While possessing the above, and many other advan

other first class Machines, and a careful examination
will fully substantiate all that we have claimed for it,
and Justify the [insertion we now make, that it Is the

AMERICAN TEA COMPANY,
3 5 & 3 7 Vesey Street,
New York,
Are now patting up an excellent article of Black Tea
with Green Tea savor that will meet the wants of lovers
of Tea. The trade mark of this tea is
TNN; LONG ARM CHOP.
It is put up in neat pound papers, no pounds in a box..
It Ic rapidly becoming a favorite Tea with the comma
uitv. From present appearances it Is destined not only
to become a great favorita. but standard Tea. In conse
quence of its fineness and sweetness of flavor and great
strength—which makes it
The Most Economical Tea in Use.
We have long made it a study to furnish a Tea which
would cult all varieties of tastes, bat never until the pro
duction of our Lose Ann CnoP have we felt that we had
attained that much desired and k long sought for object,
The Long Arm Chop is a Black Tea with Green Tea fla
vor. and can be relied upon for its uniform purity and
healthy effects. This l'ea is composed of the choicest
leaves, and cured without coloring matter of any kind,
and in precisely the same manner ea if prepared for na
tive consumption. It is consequently more wholesome
and delicate in flavor than the artificially colored Teas.
Natives of Tea countries never color teas artificially nor
sort them into Gunpowders, Imperials, Tlysons, Twan
kays, &c., for their own consumption : they do so only
when preparing them for other markets. It will be per
ceived, therefore, that the Long Arm Chop combines the
virtues of all the varieties of original and natural Teas.

advantageous to them and ourselves.
