Tun EX-PRESIDENT of next week will

agent of the Memphis, El Paso and
Pacific Railway Company, to which Con
w.gress proposes to give the perpettial and
,exclusive right of way along the thirty.

his Cabinet. The former two are widely

\
the third, a relative of General GnAN:r by
marriage, has acquired a distinguished
reputation at' thd bar of Western Penn
sylvania. Although he has mingled but
.little in public affairs, he has nevertheless,

abundant proofs of his hereditary right

In removing 'the great barrier to s

GEORGE H. 'STUART.
We were pained to learn from Wash
ington yesterday. that any eitizeif of
Pennsylvania should have been betrayed
I t
into expressions which look like an as.
sault upon the personal . or , the po itical
reputation, or upon thejtitellectual pac,.
it yof GEORGE H. ST . IJART. WO r get
ted t o see in it what seemed to us like
an impeachment of the discretion f the
President elect, whose judgment is sup
posed to have selected Mr. STU 'T as
one of his Cabinet advisers.
.An we
mustrbe pardoned for expressing on sur
prise that any experienced polit clan
should have made the grave mistak at
tributed to Col. A. K. M'Ci.trau. When
thisgentleman said, as reported, to Gen.
4.. GRANT that "the appointment of ?fr.
.loruAtier would give great aissatisfa tion
to the people of this Commonwealth,"
he in7poses upon us, at least, the duty of
u
t
pi D les,thig, instantly and atraol tely,
against the statement as unitit -
ali e to
Mr. STUART and the three hundred and
fifty thousand Republican peopl, of
Pennsylvanisi, and when Gen. Giimer
seked "what loyal man can object to Mr.
STUART," we cao answer for our people,
NONE.
On the contrary, It'e have heartily wel
comed the late intimations that Mr.
STUART is to be one Of the new Cabinet.
It is really refreshing to the masses of the
great Republican party here to learn it..
No man contributed more in money
and labor to the suppression of the Re
bellion, and no man _stands higher as an
honest, benevolent and Christian patriot.
If President GRANT surrounds himself
w ith s uch men, he will be at the defiance
of speculators and plunderers, and will
secure to himself, if that were possible,
still greater share of public confidence
and respect. The Interior and Treasury
Departments require to be esprclally
guarded against the assaults of land and
money pirates, if Mr. STUART goes into
the Interior Department, which some
Pennsylvanian is to occupy, he will see
to it that the Indians are not robbed, And,
as a conseetttence, that fewer Indian wars
occur. The honest, patriotic, unselfish
men of this Commonwealth, who ad
vanced their means and volunteered their
time and labor in suppressing the Rebel
lion, constitute the class from which, in
this and other States, President GRANT
will draw his Constitutional advisers, as
well as all of the Revenue officers of the
Government. If there is any one distin
guishing feature of his administration,
that will loom up above another, it is the
inflexible purpose to restore the Govern
ment to its original purity, and the choice
of such men as GEORGE H. STUART is
but the beginning of that swelling surge,
of an incorruptible administration that
will sweep lobbyists, unconscionable con
tractors and public plunderers from the
halls of legislation and from all official
connection with the Government.
WORK FOR THE NEW CONGRESS.
The new Congress, which assembles
next week, meets grave responsibilities
which are now awaiting its action, and
are expecting decisions already too long
deferred. Southern reconstruction needs
to be completed in four of the States.
When General GRANT, a day or two
since, conversing with a friend, dwelt
upon this urgent necessity for the peace
and happiness of the land, he expressed
a sentiment which is shared by intelligent
patriotism throughout the Union. It be
came manifest three months since, that
the closing session of the X.Lth Congress
would contribute nothing of benefit to
ward the final settlement of the recon
struction question, and the result has sus
tained the expectation . We may regret
that it has failed to mke a symmetrical
i t
record—suffering the ( missions of its later
life to obscure the br' liancy of its earlier
achievements. The 'XLth Congress was
faithful to its mission,' and thorough in its
performance, until its moral strength was
paralyzed by the unpardonable defection
of certain Republican Senators last
Spring. From that hour, Radicalism had
littlelo hope for from this Congress, and
would then have welcomed he die
solution. We may be thankful that its
, 'remaining life, nerveless and
.purpose
less as it has seemed, has multiplied none
but negative embarrassments around a
question of such pre-eminent importance.
- Its action upon the Georgian claim to a
- place in the Electoral vote has been the
8 solitary - exception to this. Otherwise,
8 this third and last session, of a Congress
which had previously dealt wisely with
f the most critical questions of the present
,f generation, might be blotted out of its
- record, as fruitful of neither positive good
I nor of serious mischief.
The revision of the Internal taxes, and
the system of their collection, will be the
next subject of importance, requiring
' the immediate attention of Congress.
The work has been half done this winter,
and may be finished on that basis with
advantage to the public interests.
The National finances will claim the
early and careful consideration of both
Rouses. The situation of . our funded
debt, the insolvent Treasury which is
only able to Promise payment of its float
ing obligations, the claims of our credit
and, of our creditors alike, present evilEr
which ran and ought to be remedied with
the least possible delay. Perhaps a new
Secretary of the Treasury should not be
expected to comprehend the situation, and
to.propose-the needful measures, In time
for their discussion at the opening ses
sion, but it is evident that the country
will require that official to meet the De
cember session with a thoroughly digested
and soundly conceived system of finance,
which shall bear examination and win O.
public approbation.
The question of a tariff upon Impor
tations, hi its bearings upon. the protec
tion of home industry, and upon the
revenue from customs, is an essential
element in the financial situation.
Whether this is or is not also to be post
poned until next winter, the interests of
American labor do imperatively require
that the protective principle shall be dis
tinctly declared by the XLlst Congress,
at the earliest possible day.
The March session should not adjourn
f' • .
until provisi n has been made for taking
the next cens s, to be completed the pres
tent year. tubers already understand
that if the work is postponed to 1870, it
will be too late for the elections to the
Congress succeeding, and that, under
Emancipation and our amended Consti
tion, the present representation In Con
gress is flagrantly at . variance with the
fundamental law and with the rights of a
large portion of our citizens.

01.1 • WESTERN RAILWAYS.
The New fork Tribune announces that
negotiations are progressing in that city,
between the Erie and Fort Wayne roads,
for the purpose of giving to the former
its desired access to Chicago: The latter
company, it is said, will either lay a third
rail from Mani&ld vvestward, or tranship
the freight at that point, as may be found
most advisable for the interests of the
two corporations. In fact, there is little
doubt which must be preferred, and the
additional rail will be laid after the cur
rent negotiations are consummated.
From this and other sources, all our in ,
formation tends in one, direction—that
the Fort Wayne corporation is effectively_
entering into close relations with the Erie
party. This is tantamount to the ac
knowledgment that Harrisburg legisla
tion has not been sufficient to overcome the
legitimate potency which their purchase
of a majority of the stocks and bonds of
the company hail vested in the Erie man
agers. Whether tile Fort Wayne has ac
cepted the situation as necessarily inevi
able, or whether other arguments, not
yet publicly indicated, have been used to
manipulate them into a cordial acquies
cence, is more than has yet transpired.
We presume that the subject will be
fully investigated at the ensuing annual
meeting, where, no doubt, the stockhold
ers will learn the exact nature of.the com
pensation to themselves, for an arrange
ment which seems practically to dislocate
nearly two hundred miles of their prop
ert) from its legitimate and profitable
place, as a joint in the great trunk-line, of
which it has been hitherto an important
part. If, under this - arrangement, the
line from Mansfield to Pittsburgh run,
as it would be, merely for the local busi
ness, shall prove as profitable as before,
neither the shareholders nor the public
will complain. Railways are operated to
make profits in any legitimate way, and
no more should be expected from them.
While we see no reason to believe that
the Pennsylvania. Railroad proposes to re
sign any of the Interests. which it secured
by the contract of last year, and for the,
fifty years following, with the Fort Wayne
corp oration, we do see,' in the current
complications involving the latter compa
ny, the fullest vindication of the forecast
of the former in providing, through the
Pan Handle, Columbus and Logansport
connections to Chicago, against the con
tingent possibility of detriment to its in
terests. The Pennsylvania)s thus abso
lutely secure against either the technical
or substantial short-comings of any tem
porary
Stockholders in the Fort Wayne corpo
ration will natrally be curious, if the
current negotiations reach the expected
issue, as to the details of their new com
pact with the Eric. They may see that
the extra rail from Mansfield west might
pay them for the less use of the pair of
rails from that point East. They may
find that thoy have accomplished what
everybody else has hitherto considered a
moral impossibility—making any bargain
with the Erie which the latter will faith
fully abide by. They may incline to be
proud of the high-toned generosity which,
first destroying, at Harrisburg, the coali
tion between the Erie and the New York
Central, ins tches this service to the Penn
sylvania Road, by a quasi surrender of
itself to one of its demoralized rivals.
And they may agree that it exhibits per
haps quite as much courage as discretion,
thus to strike hands with a clique who
are fighting for their lives with the New
York Central on the one side and the
Pennsylvania on the other. In whatever
issue these complications may ultimately
result, it is already clear that the Penn
sylvania Railroad is to reap all the sub
stantial fruits, while it is not impossible
that the Fort Wayne management are
making the beat they can of an awkward
situation.

THE PAY OF OUR LEGISLATOR!
We copy from the Harrisburg Tele •
graph a verbatim report of the remarks
of Hon. GxOEQE WILSON, of Allegheny,
the chairman of the Committee Oir Ways
and Means, in the House of Representa
tives, against the amendment of Mr.
MOMILLBU, increasing the pay of mem
bers from one thousand to fifteen hundred
dollars. Mr. WILSON said:..
Mr. Speaker:—l presume there is not
a gentleman in thfs House that will ac
cuse me of making buncombe speeches;
and perhaps there is not a gentleman
here who will express his opinions, when
he is right, more fearlessly than I.
Now, sir, I appeal to every gentleman
here, and I ask him, if, when he came
bore,he did not understand that the
usua salary was one thousand dollars?
Now, then, I ask, how will it look—how
will it appear to those 'everywherewho
favor retrenchment? How will it look,
when the people of this Commonwealth,
overburdened with taxes, the result of
the late rebellion, are crying out for re
trenchment, when we claim here that
we have reduced the expenses of this
House some forty ottifty thousand dol
lars, which we have done? When we
have reduced the salaries of the officers
to five and six hundred dollars—how
will it look 'for gentlemen under these
•
Washington items
The Census Committee have resolved
that there is no time for doing anything
at this session. General Loirtiold will
ask a new committee as soon as the
House in the next Congress is organized.
Ex-Minister Washburn, with Bliss and
Masterman, is hero, and in the course of
two or three weeks will open fire on the
navy for its course in reference to the
Paraguay matter. ,
It is stated here in 1 ading Republican
circles that the Republican Senatorial
caucus has resolved, In lieu of the repeal
of the . Tenure-of Office act,- to confirm,
without question, Gen. _Grant's Cabinet,
all his leading and early nominations.
'file petition to General Grant to ap
point Delano Revenue Commissioner
was signed by three-fourths of the Re
publican Senators and Representatives.
It was presented by Congressmen Alli
son,Dickey Mid Shellabarger. There is
triulation in that office on account of
Delano's avowed determination to make
many important changes. It should be
added, not only is this Delano's inten
tion, but it is in accordance with Grant's
wishes. He intends is have the revenue
collected and paid into the PubEc Treas
ury. The formal tender of the office to
Delano, oF Ohio, throws the latter State
out of the new Cabinet, and upsets the
rumor thtit Governor Dennison is to be
Postmaster General. More than a dozen
candidates are disappointed by the tender
to Delano.
Tke failure of reconstruction for
Georgia, Mississippi and Texas, and the
tax bill, and the postponement of the
House tenure-of-office act bill, will com•
pet the next Congress to remain in ses
sion longer than was expected. The old
members dislike the situation, as they
generally want a very brief session in
March. They generally admit that the
new Congress will have to remain here
sixty days.

PRESCRIBING FOR THE PEOPLE.
We have dlonensarles, hospitals, noble insti
tutions of all kinds for the relief of human ills.
Every thought ftil cPlzen appreciates the value of
these estabilshm en:A for the amelioration of suf
fering. But theY do not cover the whole ground;
indeed, it Is impossible, in the nature of things,
that the amount Of good they do should bc at all
In proportion to the popn'ar need. They are con
fined, principally, to large cities. The Oct

THE SOUND OF THE LUNGS.
One of the most accurate. ways of detertniniar,.
whether the lungs are in a healtmt or diseas aeon diiion, Is biXneans of:listening td the respiration.
To those experienced In this practice it becomes
as plain an Index to the state of the lungs, and Is
as well known to the operator a 3 are the voices of
his most intimate acquaintances. The belief that
long standing coukhs, and ilLeases of the lungs
upon which they are dependent, are incurable,
are fast becoming obsolete. One great advantage
to be gained from this al ranee In medical knowl
edge is tl e earlier application of those who be
come afflicted with those diseases to some one
competent to afford relief. The error which had
taken hold of the public mind in regard to the
curability of consumption, or rather non-curabil
ity, is fast becoming obliterated, and It Is well
that It should be so, not that persons should lose
that salutary fear which would make them apply
fora timely remedy, but that all might be indu
.ced to use remedies while there is any hope. It to
the delay in these cages that tills us with ap
Prehenaion and, alarm, for if every one would
make timely application of DR. KEYSER'S
