Can Such Tilings Be?
It is pleasant to find the. affection with.
which the Copperhead journals regard jtlio
recent Convention at Cleveland. It may
seem strange to hear the praises of such
men as Wendell Phillips and Parker
PnxsinißY chanted by sympathizers with
secession; but this world of wonders should;
cause no surprise. The Copperheads . have
fallen in love with Cleveland. One journal
tells us that the ticket “has a strong hold
upon the sympathies of the most ardent,
courageous, and vigorous portion of the'
Bepubliean party. It carries no dead
weight.” Mark this latter phrase. No
two men have been more 'bitterly denounced
by the Copperheads than John C. Fre
mont and JonN Cochrane. The former
has been ridiculed as a failure in Missouri,
the latter as a failure in Virginia, Fre
mont has been an imbecile, a “ coward,”
a “ corrupt man,” a “ pretender,” and' an
1 * adventurer.'' Cochrane has been a
“turncoat,’.’ a “sympathizer in disguise,”
a “fanatic,” and an “incapable.” They
have been denounced without stint or re
serve. This was when they were the
agents of the Administration; when they
commanded troops of American sol
diery. They are now in other positions.
For reasons of their own, General Fre
mont and General Cochrane saw fit to
come home. The first did not like General
Pope, and resigned his command. The
second has not published the reasons that
made it proper for him to leave his brigade,
and, returning to New York, .accept the suf- •
frages of the Republican party for a very
important office. .They arc now in the posi
tion of antagonism to the Administration.
They have called Convention of
citizens, from which “ all/friends of Abra
ham Lincoln” were repeatedly warned,
and raised what wc will not call “the
standard of revolt,” but a standard whose
most earnest followers are the enemies of
the country. The Copperheads find Fre
mont and Cochrane to be.eminently pro
per men. We who have sustained them all
along, who have defended them from many a
slander and sneer, and. Who have insisted that
their loyalty and devotion should be reward
ed, find our poor praises tame and insipid
■when compared with those of the Copper
head newspapers. Fremont, the. vilified
Fremont, is “ a popular idol,” and “ lias
been conspicuous above all others for strict
fidelity to principle.” To wliat “ princi
ple?” Bo the. Copperheads regaTd; Aboli
tionism a “ principle ?” Yesterday it was
fanaticism, , but now. that it comes-from
Cleveland, and proposes to bring disaffec
tion and dissension in its train, the Cop
perheads welcome it as-an ally, and Waft
incense in the praise of men whose death
by banging was seriously urged hot many
weeks ago.as a measure of public safety.
Altogether, we hardly know whether to be
pained or amused. The whole affair is
one of the spectacles Unit we see once in au
age, to show how much insincerity and sel
fishness we have in our poor human nature.
The Sanitary Fair.
Mt, Welsh has really a great deal to do.
If lie hopes to open the Sanitary Fair on
Tuesday, he must accomplish a vast amount
>of work. Logan Square is just now neither
a square nor a fair, hut a vast hive with
many busy hoes. • Mr. r Obnb has his own
time with the decorations and tables, and
Mr. Claguokn has the pleasant responsi
bility, of arranging the Vast art treasures
that lie around him in heaps. To one so
fond of art, and so generally renowned for
his liberality and taste,- we can imagine
what a delightful bother it must be to have
under his control the materials for lin exhi
bition that will excel anything of the kind
oyer seen in America. He will showiis
what troth and beauty lie hidden away in
out parlors and galleries; what genius
America: has thus , far ,developed. ' We re
gard this department as the most impor
tant in all this vast display. It may
not attract as many visitors or make
as much money, hut it will show: to such of
our friends as are skeptical or critical, what
American art can really do.. Wo do not
profess to have found a Raphael, a Guido,
or a Muiuli.O, nor, perhaps, as great a man
as the late Mr. Tukneh ; hut we think that
we can show as pure a taste, and as great
an .advance in true .art, as any of our older
and more pretentious cousins. . Mr. CiAg-
JioiiK has the duty thrust upon .him of
showing this,.and, as we know his earnest
ness and zeal, we shall look for a charming
exhibition, in the art department of the
great fair. By a happy union, two
departments are so near that the spectator
will pass from the society of the unique
and beautiful, to the shadows of the foun
tain, with its jets and streams, and the high,
hanks of flowers that are now slowly Rising
under the hands of fair women and skilful
men. To arrange these two displays will bo
as much.as Mr. Welsh can possibly hope
to do before Tuesday. If lie has all the
vast stalls; and walls, and boors, with
their departments' and sub-departments,
their intricacies of detail and ornamenta
tion, in proper trim by the time the private
view is announced, he will do more than
seems possible for any effort or combina
tion of talent and industry. We trust that
all things will then be. in readiness—but
we also trust, that rather than give Us a
raw and Incomplete exhibition for, our
opening day, he will postpone it until
everything is properly and;.carefully.; ar-.
ranged. . ®
Tlie Vermicular Kjtisance.
Some-discussion is going on concerning
Dial modem Diet of Worms under -which
Philadelphia is now suffering.
remedies have been suggested—few of them
more practical than the proposition, in the
Select Council, by that deadly lively wag,
Mr, Bp.ightlet, that' a quack medicine,
called somebody’s Worm Syrup, should bo
used to extirpate the insects. If they could
be collected to hear .one of Mr. Bright
ley’s speeches .the effect might he fatal,
There is only one way of getting rid of the
nuisance—namely, joy'serving the squirrels
in the public squares with notice of eject
ment. - uomovc them, and, in the courso of
a year or two, tliesmc-ri.. .iiii-[is v wbo are"in-'
sect devourers, will return to ? the city <*nA
build their nests and fear their young in
the trees, not only in the squares, hut in the
streets. Philadelphia is the only city-in
theTJnion unvisited by birds. They know
that tlic squirrels, their natural, enemies,
who climb the trees and devour their eggs,
are fostered.by the inhabitants, and therc- :
Tore they avoid the city.
The return of ARGOEnoES to Cuba had
the effect of releasing sixty men from
slavery. This we learn from Havana. It
is certainly a horrible fact, and we arc not
surprised to see such men as Mr.: Phillips
and the editor of the World burn with in
dignation at what they'call an arbitrary
arrest.
At the Sanitary PArn in St. Louis the
people seem disposed to give the sword to
Hancock. We presume that the Phila
delphia sword will be given to Meade;- In
"St. Louis McClellan is tlic principal com
petitor. We presume he will hold the
same position in our own Pair.
“I shall not," says the President, “ re
ton to slavery any person who is free by
the terms of the proclamation, or by any
act of Congress. ’ ’ And yet this man, ac
cording to Wendell Phillips and Ms
Cleveland friends, is false to freedom.
The Evening Post concedes the nomi
nation of Mr, Lincoln at Baltimore in a
bitter and rather petulant editorial; but it
disowns any sympathy with the movement
at Cleveland.
The New Post Bill,
The new Post Office bill involves so
many improvements upon the o\& regime in
the mail administration that it amounts to
a decided and general reform. One of its
host features is the. lhoney-order system,
which" wc have hitherto explained, and
which thoroughly assures the transmission
of money through post. Another excel
lent change is calculated to give additional
facility and economy to the Postal Depart
ment, and render the ratio of salaries more
just, while making the salaries themselves
more fixed and satisfactory, besides provi
ding for their increase according to en
largement of business, doing away with
the old encumbrance and perplexity of
redundant accounts, and stimulating (lie
postmaster to enterprise. Under the new
law, the postmaster Will have greater freo
ddni’with grenter-responsihility.
The special legifation in the case of
New York does not seem altogether unob
jectionable. That city is made aWstinet
class, while the post office of Philadelphia
is placed in a secondary class with Boston
and Baltimore. The salary for the post
master of New York is fixed at six thou
sand ’dollars, and that of other postmasters
is four thousand. If New York has so
large a surplusage of business as to justify
exception from the three cities named, the
business of' Philadelphia is so far in excess
as to create a_ distinction from at least the
two mail centres it is associa
ted. The post office here should be graded
at five thousand dollars, for if it would be
unjust to give it the same post rank with
Now 'York, it is even, more unjust to place
it on the scale of Boston and Baltimore.
OniTCARY,— Tn record the death of the young
and brave is one or the sad but Honorable duties
which vrnr imposes upon the living. Ensign Thos.
G, Hargis, a gallant young Philadelphian, received
his death wound at the attack on Plymouth, North
Carolina, on the 19th of last April, at the same mo
ment that his commanding officer, tlio late Lieut.
Finssor was killed.
i He was taken to the Portsmouth Naval Asylum,

Douglas, and who, besides, represent the,, different
sections of our Country. It Is, of course, premature
to speak now of theso statues as works of art, for in

One of the provislonsof the liquor section was amend--,
ed to read as follows: That all imitations of brands of

shall he subject to the highest rate of duty provided for
the genuine respectively intoudod to be repre-
Bented, and ■m no case less than one dollar per gallon.
Mr. JAMEs 0. ALLEN mos r ed to reduce the duty on
wood screws, and spoke of the bonus which was thus
to be given a monopoly.
Mr. MORRILL explained that no higher duty than at
present paid is designed on those articles, and said the
patent is neav its expiration.,
. Mr. AUeu’samcndmoutwasrejocted.
Unsuccessful efforts were made to amend the duties on
wines and iron. ‘
&r. KERNAN moved to reduce biluminous coal and
skale to one dolUirpor ton, which was disagreed to.
. ¥. r * FERNANDO a\ 00 D offered an amendment taxing
indigo, dye woods, and madder, thirty per cent, ad
valorem. As tho cotton manufacturers usethesearticles
free from tax, he proposed by this meaas to add several
P*r annum to the revenue.
Mr .‘MORRILL said this amendment came from a
quarter which would strike down every manufacturing
interest, and should not be adopted, and it was rejected.
Ine proviso oi tlie wool tax section was amended so as
to read that wool which shall be increased in value by
heingsepnred or cleansed, shall pay. in addition to the
dunes herein- provided, double the amount of such
duties.
Mr. BROGIvS moved to reduce the tariff on tapostry
carpets lo forty-five cents per square yard; fifty-five
cents, as proposed, will prohibit importations. The
manufacture in .this country is In the hands of two or
three manufacturers.
hlr. MORRILL replied that until up to a recent period
these American manufacturers did not make a dollar.
The sum proposed by the bill was about right.
Mr. Brooks’amendment was rejected.
Amendments were made ou all manufactures of wool
twenty-four cents, per pound, with thirty-five per cent,
ad valorem; on endless belts or felts for paper, and
blanketing for printing machines, twenty per cent., in

colored, .valued at thirty cents or 1-ss per square yard,
eighteen cents p*r pound, with thirty per cent, ad va
lorem ; valued above thirty cents per square yard, and
ou all flannels, colored, printed, or plaided, not other
wise provided for, and flannels composed in part of cot
ton, twenty-four cents per pound, with thirty-five per
cent, ad valorem; on flannels composed in part of silk,
fifty per centum ad valorem; on hats of wool, twenty
four cents per pound, with thirty-five per cent, ad valo
rem ; woolen and worsted yarn valued at over one dol
lar per pound, twenty-four cents per ponud, with thirty
per cent, ad valorem*, ready-made clothing and wearing
apparel of every description composed wholly or in part
of wool, manufactured wholly or. in part by tailors or
Btamstressee, except hosiery, twenty cents, per pound,

Mr. ELIJAH WARD offered a proviso that no cotton
goods in the piece, of any description, whether bleach
ed, printed, imprinted, colored, or stained, shall pay
ft higher rate than equalto forty per centum ad valorem.
Mr., MORRILL said Congress have imposed two cents
per pound on raw or unmanufactured cotton, and five
per centum on manufactured. Our manufacturers have
to compete with other countries where there are no such
duties., - :
The amendment was rejected.
Mr. HOLMaN, of Indiana, moved to reduce the duty
on unbleached cotton from five to three cents per
square-yard, maintaining that the tax should fail on
the wealth and not on the labor of the country.
Mr. MORRILL replied, when the amendment was re
jected;" ■
Miv HOLMAN moved to increase the duty on silks
and velvets from sixty to one hundred per cent, ad va
lorem. Such luxuries should be largely taxed. If
there were silk and velvet looms over New England,
we should bear different arguments from the other side.
A poor man’s shirt .was taxed sixty per cent., and yet
luxuries wore comparatively taxed to a less amount.
Mr. MORRILL expressed his surprise that the gentle
man should have thus spoken, considering that he voted
to reduce the duty on-tapestry carpets, used by the
wealthy. They had provided specific duties on some
kinds of cotton goods, and on others thirty-five per
cent, ad valorem, and as to silk dress goods, sixty per
ceut; ad valorem, being a higher rate than ever before
imposed, -~‘
The amendment was rejected.
The House, at half past, four, took a,recess till half
past seven. *
EVENING SESSION. :
, THE MARINE HOSPITAL AT CHICAGO.
■Mr. WASHBURNErof Illinois, from the Committee
on Commerce,; reported a bill, which was passed, au
thorizing the Secretary of the Treasury to sell the Ma
rine Hospital and grounds at Chicago, and with the pro
ceeds thereof purchase a site, and build one in a more
healthy and retired locality.
THE BANKRUPT LAW.
- The House proceeded to the consideration of the bank
ruptlaw. •
Mr, SPAULDING* of Ohio, said the select committee,
on that subject had presented abill as-perfect* as one
cruld be devised under the present circumstances, and
which was called for by the best interests or the
■country.'.' . ~ ;
Mr.'■"•ELIJAH"WARD, of New York, expressed the
JpHMftHt.Oongress will haye the honor, asf well as the
f credit, of passing this bill, in order to relieve so many
from oonugge, A measure of this kind was more needed
in this coWry* where there are ap many monet'a’-y
than in the Old Vf l orld, where changes of
trade a recess eommOh. Ih the course Of lila remarks,
be mentioned the fact that in 1562 the indebtedness of
the Sonthfern States was estimated at $300,000,000, of
which $159,000,000 were due to New York, $24,000,000 to
Philadelphia, $19,000,000 to Baltimore, and $17,000,000
to Boston. This had produced bankruptcy, which
would otherwise not havB occurred. The bill now be
fore the House would be beneficial both to the credi
tors’and the debtors’ interest U would be a stigma
on the age. if a measure of this character should not be
passed. None could afford more relief and satisfaction.
Mr. GARFIELD, of Ohio, said this was one of the most
important measures ever brought before the House,
apart from thoseimmediately connected with the conduct
of the war. He was surprised a hill of seven hundred
pages, and most sweeping in its character, intended to
be permanent, and affecting the interests of every man,
was attempted to be passed through this House, under
the previous question, and whe.u only about seventy
members Had been occupied in its consideration. The
gentlemau, Mr. Ward, had mentioned the South were
indebted to the amount of $300,000,000 He was un
willing the rebels, when-brought ( back into the Union,
should take advantage of the bill.
Mr. SPAULDING, of Ohio, asked whether his. col
league had read the hill.
Mr. GaEFJELD replied he had,
Mr. SPAULDING was satisfied his colleague had not:
because, if so, he would have seen that ewry maaoi
. the South Is cutoff from the benefit of the bill. :•
„ Mr. GARFIELD declined to he further, interrupted by
any One’who'impugTied his word.
Mr.. SPAULDING said‘‘ldo!!’. .
Mr. GARFlELD,'resuming, said the bill should be
thoroughly considered, and he would hot vote for it
under the present circumstances. He did not believe
the condition of the country was such as to require its
immediate passage. There never was a time when
there was so much prosperity as at present.
Mr. JENCKES, of Rhode Island, spoke of the.long
time this subject had been before the House. It should
not be thrust mere declaration of a man
who was not wiUingto understand it. The country de
manded the passage of the bill. This was a time of ap
parent prosperity, but at least one hundred thousand
men who want to take part in trade and the industrial
pursuits cannot now do so, they being bound in the
chains of debt from which'the bill designs to relieve
them.- ■■ ■ ■ -
Mr. BROWN, of Wisconsin, argued, that.a bankrupt
bill should be passedi but, at the same time, it ought to
be fully considered. He pointed out several practical
objections which ought to he remedied.
The me rning hour Jiavlng expired, the House took up
the Senate hill to prohibit speculating transactions in
coin and bullion. -•-..■•••
Mr. HOOPER offered a substitute for the first (section,
and moved the previous question. :
Mr. PENDLETON, of Ohio, said a number of gentle
men on his side were not here, having supposed the con
sideration of the. tariff bill would be continued this
evening; Ho moved a call of the House, which, was
disagreed to.
Mr.; MALLORY, of Kentucky, moved that the House
adjourn, which was disagreed to—yeas 37, nays 63.
Mr. PENDLETON,’ of Ohio, moved to go into Com
mittee of the Whole on the Tariff bill,.when *
. Mr. STEVENS, of Pennsylvania, at9.10P.M., moved
to adjourn, which was carried.
The Butler Will.
Headquarters Department op Virginia and
North Carolina, in the Field, May 30, *64,
To the Editor of the New York Express :
Sir : I see the following paragraph in the Boston
credited to x our paper :
u The New. York. Express of Thursday says the
will of A. J. Butler, brother to Major General
Butler, has been offered for probate in the Surro
gate’s.office in that city. Fie leaves an estate
valued at two millions of dollars, of which one-half
has been bequeathed to the Major General. Tho
particulars of the will cannot be made public till
the latter part of tbe month, which is the-first re
turn day. It is understood, however, that there are
several New Orleans claimants who intend to file
petitions as creditors.”
There- is not one word of truth in it save that a
will of my brother has been offered for probate.
Please: make the truth as conspicuous as the lie.
I have the honor to be, very respectfully, your
obedient servant, . Benj. F. Butler. :
The Farms’ information was derived from the
Surrogate’s office, and from a gentloman who stated
to our reporter that he was a New Orleans’ creditor,
and intended to impeach:the will if ne could. On
tho SOth of May, as announced in our law reports of
that day, the will was offered on tho petition of
Benj. P, Butler, and postponed on account of the
absence of that gentleman.— N. F. Express.

A Safe Investment.— Thoro aro fow por3ons so
ill-informed as’ not to admit tho vast advantages
secured to tho domestic comforts of the ago by the
invention of the sowing machine. Every household
In the land should possess one, and 71010 is the time to
buy. The “ Florence" machine, sold at 630 Chestnut
street—which Is for many roftsons tho niost doslra
blc sewing machine In tho world—it must bo borne
In mind is soiling to-day at tho same price charged
wlipn all other articles of utility wore sold at half,
or less, their presont rates. It is clear, therefore,
that the most judicious, economic, and safest invest
ment that a man can make Is to buy a u Florence''
at tho present prieos. Wo have no Information as
to this, but it is reasonable to suppose that the uni
versal advance in prices must sooner or later affect
sewing machines. Now, therefore, is the time to
“ invest,” end the “ Florence" is the machine to in
vest in. ' •
Graceful Clothing for Gentlemen.—Wo
have heard the remark repeated lately that the
most graceful and besetting suits for gentlemen in
Philadelphia are those sold at the popular old house
of C. Somers & Son, 625 Chestnut; street, under
Jayne’s -Hall. These gontleracn, by careful atten
tion to their business as importers of cloth goods and
manufacturers of fine clothing, and their liberality
In securing the services of the most artistic cutters
In the country, have built up a largo trade and
earned an enviable reputation. Their prices, too,
are the most reasonable in the city.
‘The u Grover & Baker.”— What the Dondon
Times is among European newspapers, tho “ Grover
§* Baker" is among American Sowing Machines—
the best known, the most famous—the vory Sorcules
of its class. Its agent, No, 730 Chestnut street, can
well afford to challenge tlio widest comparison, and
even gratuitously to advertise his rivals, ashe occa
sionally does. In hundreds, wo might say thousands,
of families in this city, the Grover & Bakormachiao
is appreciated as an honored, faithful, and well-tried
friend. To all who wish the very best machines in
use, we would say with all get the li Gro
ver Baker.”
Messrs. E. G. Whitman &c Co., No. 318 Chest
nut street, by being the most extensive makorsof
and dealers in these; goods, and doing the largest
Confectionery trado in Philadelphia, are enabled
(notwithstanding they use the very finest and purest
materials, and produce only the choicest prepara
tions) to sell at prices which come readily within
the reach of the million. We, therefore, regard E.
G. Whitman & 06. as public benefactors, and
earnestly recommend! that ail who use Confections
buy them at 318 Chestnut street.
On to Richmond.— The great struggle for free
dom is about to triumph in the complete overthrow
of Southern despotism. Treason i 3 howling for a

state in this connection that the best and cheapest

North Ninth street.
Seasonable Convections —Mr. A. 1.. Vansant,
Ninth and Chestnut streets, has constantly on
hand, prepared fresh daily, the largest variety of
fine French and American Confections, especially
adapted for the season. His warm weather prepa
rations are at once cooling, refreshing, healthful,
and altogether delightful. This -remark .applies
equally also to his delicious fruits.
New Novelties for Ladies and Misses.—
Messrs. "Wood & Cary, No. 725 Chestnut street, have
just received eases of the exquisite new (i Pot
Poum” Turbans for misses and ladies. These are
the newest things out for covering the ladies’ heads.
Their stylish English‘Wallring Hats are also com

Economy should be practiced by everybody
in all things. One dollar expended now in pur
chasing a bottle of Jayne’s Expectorant, by those
troubled with a slight cough or hoarseness, sore
throat, may save the expense" of a doctor’s bill. A
neglected cough often; ends in ; consumption. A
slight inflammation of the lining of the wind tubes,
the usual symptoms of which are a sore throat and
a pain in the breast, will soon lead, through want of
attention, to bronchitis. A-' day’s delay may entail
months of suffering. Let the afflicted try at once
Jayne’s Espectorant.. It is a standard remedy,
and its curative/properties have been tested by
thousands of persons who .have recovered their
health by its use. The Expectorant and , all of Dr.

The “Monroe Doctrine,” we opine, is not
abandoned, but only suspended in its operation for
the present. The crisis in Mexican affairs, gradu
ally developing, would no doubt render it unneces
sary /for our. Government to interpose its autho
thority. The 1 bogus Emperor’s sojourn -iii-hls new
Empire will bo as fleeting and unsubstantial as the

ba 'common and of good quality. The result of the
scarcity of good spirituous liquors has been to introduce
Into the market a species of beverage composed of pare
spirits combined with some tonic vegetable extract, the
compound being known as Bitters. These “ Bitters’'
are, generally speaking,as far superior to the spirituous
liquors ordinarily retailed at bars and taverns as possible
and much less injurious than even the beat spirits are,
for their tonic effects counterbalance the inflammatory
action that accompanies all alcoholic drinks. Bat even
In the manufacture of this class of popular beverages,
there is more or less adulteration, and therefore care is
required in making a selection, In order that the best
quality may be procured.
The best in the market that we have yet seen is that
known as the *'Golden Bitters,” which is warranted of
the best materials, and composed of extracts from purely
vegetable sources.
. A medical analysis which Mr. HUBBEL had made
for the pnrpose, shows that his Bitters are eminently
calculated to relieve thedyspeptic.and afford that gentle
stimulant necessary lo assist the weak and infirm to
bear with the fatigues of daily life. The time will come
when these Bitters will supersede thepoisonous drinks
now imbibed at our public bars, aud when this change
takes place we shall hear of fewer cases of mad drunk
enness and less deaths from delirium tremens.-Rrook-

original color. It brings np the natural shading of one
hair with another, thus giving the hair a perfect life
