THE CRARTIERS VALLEY
• We learn that a meeting has been called,

the proposition for a railway through this

cure the improvement. Every body de

and accomplishes nothing until translated
into this vulgar but patent circulating medi
um. 'lf the half of those who talk much of
the need for this work, would express their
sense of it by tangible figures written after
their names, the work coulkbe -more than
half done already. Isn't it about 'time for
the "wind work" to give place to assistance
more substantial. We suggest that for the
leading topic at the Canoneburg meeting.
STATE LEbISLATION AT WASHING.
We agree with the Washington Chrome' le
that "every Republican, outside of Mary
land, sympathizes with the loyal men of
that State" in the oppressive inequalities
which are fl,pgrant in their lhcal administra
tion. But we doubt the asserted power and
deny the declared policy;of Congress to in
terfere in the premises. Maryland has an
unquestionable right, in her own discretion,
to - disfranchise a portion of her citizens. It'
is her own affair, not ours, and to her alone
it may be wisely remitted as a question in
which she is the sole guardian of her domes
tic interests. In its own good time, must
inevitably come the period when' preju
dices will fade away, Me bitter asperities, ,
of a conflict whieh has shocked the Repuh
lic to its foundation-stone, shall be forgotten;
when statesmanship shall once more pro
nounce for the greatest good of the greatest
number, and neither - Maryland nor Georgia
shall consent to disown or disregard the
civil rights of a minority of their 'popula-
N itzi. This period is to be retarded, not
accelerated, by that r Federal interference
which .would be as • prejudicial „as
without nstitutional warrant. Per
haps the day for which we so , con
fldenfly look,ommending our own
patience as an exarnple to our friends in the
late slave-holding Sultes, may also witness,
everywhere, North as as South, a gen
eral acquiescence in the idt,that an Act of
,Congress is not always eitherthe i legal or
the effective panacea for everi\local ill.
Congress can do much; its powers haYo s ever
been large, and, independent of the influenced
of tike Ida great rebellion, have been stead
fly tending toward their own expansion,
from
the earliest days of WASHINGTON and
Anal& The centralizing movement re
ceived a powerful impetui from the-Inevit
able reaction of the rebel assault,-but we
do welt to remember that it is a movement,
now as in thepaat, which can bear some re
tardation better than more urgency. Retard
it as the whgest of ourstatesmen matvit will
still prove irieSistible; in- its Steady march
to the highest and more absolute evolution
of Federal principles, while a reasonable
and just reluctance to` driVe forward, faster
than we are sustained by the logic of events,,
will materially aid In ensuring an admirable
perfection in our National system.
We could 'recommend to tome of our
friends to go gently with their centralizing
ideas, but ire must in candor, confess that.

many of them are innocent of any such phi
losophic and far-reachinCconsiderations.
They, appekr to be mov , ml, not by a lofty
•View 'of political science, but simply - by a
blind reliance upon what they regard as the
absolute efficacy of a large Congressional
Majority to redress every grievance, and
to satisfy 'every complaint, no matter what
the Constitution !shall permit. With these,
it is not worth while to argue the question
as one of high public policy. It is enough
t o say to them, that much as Congress can
I do, there is far more that it cannot and will
not undertake. Very certainly, no Repub
lican statesman is yet prepared to ignore all
the remaining distinctions, which preserve,
and preserve vine enough of, the exclusive
functions of State authority, upon any
plausible plea. •
our/ business with -Maryland is to ,con
form-'her Congressional representation to
the Constituticin and laws of the United
States. Her 1 distribution of local power
among her own citizens is her own affair,
and Congress will not meddle with it. That
State, like any other, will sooner or liter
adjust that question for herself, upon the ,
basis of Justice, Equality and Interest.
The proposed Federal revision of the
Maryland Constitution has ainiolutely not
the shadow of Federal•warrant..' Nothing
isclearer than that it is the exclualVe right
of the State to distribute its own local au
thority, as it shall please. Wholly a domes
tic question, how the State Legislature
may be constituted and who shall be elected
therefor, there is not the remotest pretense
that her Federal relations are thereby undu
ly influenced. The proposition that: Con;
peas shall interfere is, therefore, purely in
the interests'of the abstract principle of.
Equal Itights--a principle to which in all
ifs just applicationa we are. profoundly at;
tacked, but not to the extent of an arbitra
'ry prepagandism. Weilefendthe principle
eqially against those who directly impugn,.
it, and thoseothers who would degrade its'
moral potency, and zecure for it the diagnsi
rader than the devotion of good citizens,
by straining it to an illegal and unnatural
province. Hepublicanisin must win .itsjen
during and only soiid triumphs by the `sur
render of opposing convictions, and not by
mere brute force•
Our friends in Maryland are unwise to
make this false issue. Let them apply them
selves to a more practical question, which
can have practicable and speedy results. In
stead of agitating abroad for an end which
they can only accomplish at home, let them
reserve that question for the people of
Maryland, to whom it exclusively belongs,
and if they ask anything from Congress,'
let it be what Congress can grant, and what
it is the present duty of Congress to pass
upon. The same class-interest which claims
an undue voice in the State Legislature,
also claims and holds an illegal share of the
Federal representation. Here should be the
real objective point of the llepublican move
:ment In that State. Ask Congress to reform
Maryland's' Congressional delegation, in
accordance with the Federal Constitution,
and when- that is accomplished, as it will
be, our friends will find it along step toward
their relief in, other respects, for that adjust
ment will operate powerfullY, although in,
directly,. to 'accelerate the recognition of an
entire Equrdity in local politics.

A LOST CHILD.
In a recent letter, a Triend, once a promi
nent merchant of Pittsburgh, and now doing
business in Chicago, writes us : "Our
daughter's health is very frail.' She has
scarcely sat up since she lost her child.
We had known that the little Lulu, at
the. close of h"--
er fifth year, • had hadher bright
eyes closed by trembling fingers and her
sunny hairforever covered by the coffin lid,
but were not prepared to ,pear her Christian
grandfather speak of her as "a lost child."
We.thought that the little one had been sent
on an errand from her Father's house and
that.when it was done He, had called her
home. We had thoight that the lamb was
in the Wilderness, going toward pit-falls
and darkness and beasts of prey, and that
the Good Shepherd had found her and taken
her in His arms and carried her to the fold,
where she awaited, in security, the coming'
of the wanderers who. bad loved her here.
We had thought the t t like the shepherds of
the Alpine hills, lie - had taken the lamb to
the heights above that the mother might be
constrained to look upward and follow but;
a lost child . ! • Poor, blind parents, whose!
gathering storms of grief and tears obecure
the upward view !
We once knew of a lost child. A lady
withwhom we were intimate in Washing.
ton told us the story of• an uncle's family.
He was a wealthy farmer and had an only
daughter twenty years old. She was of un-1
usual personal attractions and beautiful in
mind as body, a member of the Presby
terian Church and of most exemplary life
arid conversation. She spent some time in
a visit to some friends in Albany, who, on
her starting fOr home, which was on, the
farther side of Syracuse,' saw her upon the
train, got baggage checked and bade bet
farewell, in the morning, feeling that,_be;
fore night, she would be at home. That
Ares the last that is known of her. Her
trunks reached Syracuse. Her father and
mother spent all their property and time
for years in itaching for her, and when the
story wastold to me twenty years had elapsed
and no trace had been found. For years
and years her parents had only prayed to
know that she was dead; but none, for one
moment, believed that she had wilfully.
caused them this great sorrow. The only
'solution ef:the mystery was that, under
some plOusible pretext, she had been in
duced,to go into some house where purity
was noprotection and resistance vain, and
had taken-her own life, or that some one
had murdered her to avoid exposure, and,
in either
'the body so secretly disposed
of as to eludeall search. Had the greatest
evil consequent' upon abduction befallen
her, and she could have.escaped, would she
have had the moral courage to face that
scorn which the ' world indiscriminately
pours upon 'misfortune and sin f Would
the Christian world have aided the crushed
parents in finding and binding up the
wounds of this lost, lost child
In country places, when a child strays
away, the neighborhood , is in wild excite
ment, and men, women and children join
in. the starch for the lost child. Work is
forgotten, sleep Is:impossible, until the little ,
one is-restored to home and friends or its
body found. If thorns bine ,torn it, or an
. evil heist half wounded it, no care HI too

Opinion of the Press.
arom the Butler Citizen.
Theduty of selecting a Senator devolves,
Under the Constitntion, upon the Legislature.
So fess our county is concerned, our •
pub can friends would doubtless be delight
ed ht the selection of Ex•Chnernor Curtin.
Should his name not be before the caucus,
however, we incline to the opinion the the
'success of Thomas M. Marshall. Esq.,
'would be most satisfactory. Of 'this,. how
ever, our Legislators must be the judges;
with them we leave the matter for the
present, with full faith in their wisdom and
fidelity.

Mr. Grow is, of course, not the only
n
Pennsylvania could send to the United
States Senate with honor to the State and
with due regard-to the principles of Repub.
licanism. 13ut_he has some special
Cation, and, so far as such a thing should'
ever be recognized, his name has some
special claime,to - the consideration of the
Legislature. His -long devotion to the
cause of freedom; his prominent • position
in thußepublican party as one of its most
efficient leaders; his thorough training in
thewhole business of our national Legisla
tion., his natural gifts of mind and spirit,
which fit him eminently as a public debater
and Statesman; his character for sterling in
iegrity, ttnit for broad and impartial—views
of State and national policy; these are some
of the reasons why we present the name of
Galusha A. Grow to the PerinsylVinio Leg
islature as a most fitting successor , to Mr.
.[Buckalew the Senate of the 'United
States. - -
The Legislature must ive ILS a man,about
wheat personal and poli tical record there is
no doubt. He-must be man capable, tried
and honest. We have no interest in raging
the, name of Galusha A. Grow, , beyond the
common interest of seeing good men placed
in all our Offices. We desire neither to rec
ommend nor to support any other, for any
'office; and we believe that the stability and
efficiency of the Republican pa!ty can be
maintained upon no , other principle.

The 1341 p. wexe Whipping Poet.
. .
The regular semi-annual exhibition of bar
,
bullion took place at New Castle on the
morning of the 21st inst., seven men being
whipped and one pilloried. ' "
The first victim - was William JOnes, who
had been convicted of , stealing store goods.
He was placed in the pillory at ten o'clock,
and stood there in the cold wind with head
and hands in fixed position and unable to
move his body for one hour. ',He was taken
down at eleven o'clock and taken back to
jail to sufficiently recover from the effects of
his torture to be able to stand's flogging.
The jail yard contained a large crowd,
over a hundred of whom were children—
both boys and girls—who appeared to take
great delight in the exhibition. Children
not five year . ) old were brought by their
larger brothers and sisters ;to "see the
show," and with eager impatience awaited
Its commencement.
At eleven o'plock Sheriff Richardson, cat
o' nine-tails ins band, made his appearance,
and Immediately afterwards a little, colored
boy, whei had to stand on a soap box to get
ills_ hands in the manacles (which had been
wrapped to make them fit his wrists), was
led out. He had been convicted of stealing
seventy-tive cents' worth of pig iron. Twen
ty lashes with the cat were laid on, and t)it
Sheriff's leniedcy was such that the ly
made no . outcry.
The next person whipped was a light col
ored mulatto boy. of sixteen years, who.
pleaded guilty of stealing a pair of shoes and
five cents. He received twenty lashes. lie
came out with a fixed smile on his face and
managed to :keep it there throughout the
operation. •
William Maloney, a young white man,
convicted of stealing a bundle of clothing,
received twenty lashes.
The next man was George Klutch,an old
Infirm and ,gray haired.man, convicted of
stealing a shirt. He trembled violently and
gave forth feeble moans, while his facial
contortions showed agony.. of Veldt body and
mind. He received twenty. lashes. 1
Charles Wheatly, a young white .man,
convicted of stealltue,a pair of bo6ts, re
ceived twenty Willey with Out displaying
much ethotion. HeOn a spirit of braviulo,
danced a jig as he went back to jail.
Howard Lee,• • a slight and- trembling
Youth,. with a large plaster on his breast,
who Plead guilty of, stealing a valise, re
ceived twenty lashea,4ery lightly laid on.
William Jones, who had been in the pil
lory.:f. before the whipphig commenced, re
ceived twenty . lasheb,•and the exhibitlen
cice'eed with a about of triumph from the I
aelighted children.
Sheriff Richardson evidently, shrank from
his miserable task, and several. gentlemen
complimented him on his humanity.
Among the spectatori were Rev. George
A. Latimer, of Calvary Church; Dr. John
Cameron and others,
drawn to the place not
out of idle curiosity, but from serious in
terest in this bad and barbaric scene.

The Working People.
The Coopers' Union of New York have
passed a resolution, that on and after to-day
the fall list or prices shall be_ demanded:
The object of the movement is to raise the ,
price on "liqubr work" to the original
standard. It is asserted that while on all
other branches of coopers'iwork the regular
prices have been sustained, and in some in
stances increased, the prices in this branch
have been reduced nearly twenty per cent.
during the past year. The Cigar Manufac
turers' Association of New York - has pass
ed resolutions to the effect, that as there is
no prospect of an equitable adjustment of
the difficulties now pending, , 4ll workmen
belonging to - the Cigar Makers' i Unions
shall be discharged on Friday,the 27th inst.,
and that no man belonging to the Unions
be hereafter employed by any member of
this Aisociation ; and further, thitt the ad
vance recommended by the .Association
at the last meeting be adhered to, so far as
non-Union cigar makers are concerned.
The proposition referred to by the manu
factures is to pay an advance over the prices
paid two mouths ago of $1 per thousand
until 7annary Ist,
.1869, and then if the
trade be the same as -now, a further ad
vance after May Ist., 1869. The Manufac
tures' Associations further resolved that a
circular be addressed to all manufacturers
in the United States and Canada, setting
forth the difficulties of the Association with
the Cigar Makers' Unions, asking co-oper

t(0/120P.A.THT IF THE UNITED STATES.-
The practice of this new theory of cure - was
introduced, it ieltated, in the United States
by a German physician, Dr. Grus, who, in
the year 1825,-published a treatise on the sub
ject. At first not ranch attention was paid
to hoiaoepathy, but in the next ten: . years,
six works advocating the principles of
Hahnemann were published. In 1834, Jahr's
manual was translated and found many stu
dents. At present there are 8.647 practi
tioners of bomoepathy in the United States,
of whom 818 are to be found in New York,
347 in Pennsylvania, 352 in Ohio, 275 In
Michigan and 251 in Massachusetts. There
are 61 Societies '
3 being national, 2 section
al, 16 State and 40 local.. There are 7 col
leges and 14 h - ospitals, infirmaries, &c., in
different States.
THE Women's Rights advocates will hold
their annual convention in Washington dur

NATURE'S GREAT ALLY
It took the world nearly two thousand years to dis
cover and remedy one of the most fatal errors that
mankind has tver believed in. From the time of
Galen, to a comparativelj very-recent date. It was .'i,
supposed that, in order to core a disease, it was ne
cessary to weaken the already enfeebled patient by
artificial means. Bleeding, blistering, violent.par - .
gallon and salivation were the main reliance of the
faculty, not more than.flfty years ago. Reatoratives
were only administered as snpummentari agents.
after the lancet, cantharldes,jalap and calomel had
done their depleting work. Modern science has ef
fected a salutary reform in medical treatment.:ln,
'place of the nauseonsi"doses once administeted in
cases of indigestion, billiousness, constipation, sick
headache, 'nervousness, intermittent fever, te.;
BOSTETTER , S STOMACH BITTERS are now giv

sults. ' The reason why this admirable botanical
`Preparation has superseded the debilitai leg 'mindfl
of the old materna medic(' are these : - it combines
the properties of a wholesome tonic, with those of a
gentle cathartic, an anti.billlous agent, a nervine, '
and a blood depnrent. Thus, while It keeps, the

the invalid, and by this means the expulsion of dis
cus and the restoration of constitutional, vigor go

severs, with other coMplaints' arising from a damp,
mephitic atmosphere, are prevalent,'a course of the

Presidential Bets—When are they Dui
We have received a large number of
questions to 'the above purport, and'as the
initial answer, to them in this paper - vill
probably govern the delivery' of many
thousands of dollars, all. over the country,
we prefer to give as much prominente as
possible to an answer of so much impor
tance.
In deciding bets upon local or State elec
tions, it has always been our yule to hold
that bets Made in the premises, pass to the
*winners upon the certificates of the State or
county canvassers, withont regard to any
Con-tests that may be set up iigkinst the party
getting such certificate.' There is seldom
any hardship growing from this rule, while
it gives possession of the wagered money
to parties who have honestly won it, with
out keeping them out of it, as in congres
sional cases, for nearly two years, on, the
flimsiest pretexts imaginable. There is,
however, another gnestioniconcerned in this
Presidential election, so fares the States of
New York, Georgia and Louisiana are con-
cemed. The action - of the Electoral Col
lege may establish the fact that no election:
has been held in those States in .a legal and
fair sense. If the College so decides
. rind:
rejects the votes upon the ground that by
reason of force and fraud the pretended
elections were a nullity, it will, avoid all the •-.
bets on thew; States. This is not in conflict •
with the principle that those who have laid , -
that Grant will be the net President•have
already won. If General Grant were - to• •
die before the fourth day of March it would•
make no.difference to that bet, because the-'
real
mill thing present to the intent of the bet
tors was, not the future remote action of the •
Electoral College, but the proximate action.
of the voters at the,poll. But, if it shall be
decided that the action of the voters at the
polls was prevented and perverted by forbe
or fraud, in such flagrant manner that the
-vote of any State Is rejected, then all the
bets on the Presidential vote of that State
will be null, because there has keen no elec.
