i?3 Messrs. J. S. "Williams & Co., we
arc pleased to learn, are rapidly establish
ing an extensive business for the sale of
pure liquors in this borough, and thus
Leering at home many thousand of dollars
which have hitherto been sent to pur
chase an inferior article abroad. The
wiues, liquors &c., of Messrs. "W. & Co.,
arc warranted pure and to contain no oils,
essences and drugs, and are pronounced
by competent judges to be of a better
ijuallty than any which have hitherto

fc-T'Wc observe that the Wayne Coun
ty J'emocracy are having quite a lively
t me over the relative merits and claims
f the Hon. Geo. 11. Barrett, and F. M.
Cr-ne, Esq., to the President Judgeship
r. f this Judicial District. Being hopelessly
in the minority in the district we have no
particular interest in the quarrel, but
1. pc that it may lead to the selection of
t l.o best man. Any one possessed of law
learning, and common sense to assist in
its application, respectability and perfect
integrity, and brain enough to keep his
partizan predilections from running away
with his sense of justice, will answer our
purpose. For all this, however, we sup-
pee we must truEt to the tender mercies
cf our opponents.

A Remarkable Death.
Stephen Compton, of Spragueville, this
County, having been afflicted with an ach
ing tooth for several weeks, had it ex
tracted on the 28th ult, attending which
there was nothing unusual. The tooth
came out easily, and the gums, bled but
little at the time of extraction. But a
boufc one day after this they began to
bleed, which, by caustic and plugging,
were stopped for one day longer, at the
cud of which time they began to bleed
again.
About this time Mr. Compton came to
town and placed himself under the imme
diate care of Br. A. Reeves Jackson, a
skilful surgeon, who made a free use of
all the usual remedies, from the most
powerful styptics, to plugging and com
press, and actual cautery, none of which
arrested the flow of blood for more than
from three to eighteen hours at a time, un
til about thirty hours before death, when
by plugging with bits of sponge saturated
with perchloride of iron, while uuder the
influence of aether, the flow of blood was"
completely stopped ; but he had already
lost so much blood, that he died on the
evening of the 12th instant.
Mr. Compton was aged about 27 years,
of a robust constitution, but we uudor-
stand he had been somewhat unwell for
several weeks before the unfortunato oc
currence. He was subject to frequent
attacks of pleurisy, one of which he had
during the early part of his bleeding
spell.
This is a very remarkable case only
a few like it terminating thus in a century.
The cause of which is undoubtedly owing
to some peculiarity of constitution, or pe
culiar state of the system.

PHILADELPHIA COURTS.
The Court of Quarter Sessions, Judge
Ludlow, presiding, commenced on Mon
day last. Among the cases disposed of,
we find the following :
Lewis Y. Close ' and Patrick Donnelly
were charged with robbing Andrew J.Cor
rell, a returned soldier, of 349, a watch,
and his discharge from the army. Two
boys, who were observing the parties,
testified that on the eveuing of the day
in question, July 20th, they saw these
men with the soldier, who was very drunk.
He wonld not go along, and finally laid
down. The defendants then put their
hands in his pocket and took his money.
They also attempted to take his'gun, but
that he held on to. One of the boys, said
to Donnelly, "you have robbed that man."
Donnelly made some reply and said he
would go and get a policeman, and walk
ed to the corner, upon reaching which
he ran away as fast as he could. Close
also went away. Donnelly was arrested
the next day at the house where he was
stopping, and in a pocket of his blouse
was found Correll's discharge, but none
of the money was recovered. In his case
no defense was made. On behalf of Close
however, excellent previous good charac
ter was shown, and also that on Hie day
in question he was very much intoxicated
too much so to know what lie was doing
It was likewise shown that when arrested
he had uo money. The case was submit
ted without argument, and the Jury re
turned a verdict of guilty. Sentenced to
eighteen monts in the County Prison.
Soldiers' Discharged
Just before the order for the disbaud
mcnt of the armies was issued, we are in
formed, that it was the rule in the Quar
termasters Department to dispose o
army horses to honorably discharged
soldiers at nominal prices. When a sold
ier presented his discharge, he was allow
ed to select a horse at any of the corrals
at a price far below the actual value o
the animal. This course was adopted, we

But like most plans to do justice to the
bravci lfc was soon corrupted by a set of
I sharpers, who organized a movement . to
buy the discharge papers of soldiers, and
I TiTtfji fjiosc documents enlace in n rpnlnr

By this move the soldier was not benefit-

as we have described it, became a nuis-

therefore the discharges of soldiers ceased
to be a mercantile m the market.

The Elections.
The latest returns from the Kentucky
elections show that five Union and four
Opposition members of Cougress are
chosen. General Rousseau has beaten
Robert Mallory by a majority which ex
ceeds the most sanguine expectations of
the Union party. The vote of Jefferson
county, of which Louisville is the oapital,
was, in 18G3 : Bramlette, 4,G29 j "Wick
Tiffe, 2,052 majority for Bramlette, 2,
577; and in 1SGI; Lincoln, 2,066; Mc
Clellan, 5,401 majority for McClellan,
4,338. Now Rousseau has received in the
city of Louisville, 4,502 votes ; Mallory
only 809, and a third candidate, Mundy,
121 ; which gives to Rousseau, over both
of his competitors, a majority of 3,62.
Green Clay Smith is elected in the 6th
district. Kenton County, which, in 1864,
gave Lincoln 1,716 to McClellan 1,374
yotes. a .Lincoln majority or siz. now
sives to Smith about 1,100 majority, and
Campbell County, whose vote in 1864,
was 1,504 for Lincoln and 1,286 for Mc
Clcllan, a Lincoln majority of only 218
now gives to the Union candidate about
840 majority. The-countics forming this
Congressional District gave at the Presi
dential election of lbu4asmall aggregate
majority lor lucUlellan: which is more
than wiped out by the gains of the Union
party in the two couutics of Kenton and
Campbell.
In the Vlllth District, the only one
which, in 1864, at the Presidential elec
tion gave the majority of its rotes to Lin
coin, Randall, the Union candidate, gains
considerably in Maditon and Pulaski
Counties, and is likewise elected.
In the 2d district Yeaman, Uuion and
auti-slavcry candidate, is elected, as is al
so McKee of the 9th district. In the re
maining district the 3d, the result is not
known. The result of the vote oh the
constitutional amendment is also uncer
tain.
Later returns from Tennessee make it
probably that Col. Stokes, the Uniou can
didate in the Chattanooun District, has
been defeated by the conservative Faulk
ner : while in the Vllth District, Col
ETawkins, the Union candidate, is said to
have beaten .bthendge by a handsome
i rni tt i i
majority, jluc union candidates have
been elected in the 1st, lid, Vllth and
YHIth Districts, while the lid, IV th
and Vth Districts have elected Conserva
tives. According to the Nashville Press,
two of the Union Congressmen elect, May-
nard lid District) aud Hawkins (Vllth
District), can be relied upon as suppor
ters of a liberal policy , and also two oth
ers, Taylor 1st District) and Leftwick
(Vlllth District"), probably. Nothing is
said of Cooper (Vlth District).
Mr. N. G. Taylor, elected in the 1st
district stumped Pennsylvania last fall in
favor of Mr. Liucoln, and is a most enthu
siastic supporter of the Government
I he defeat of Lthndgo, in the th dis
trict, will be hailed with satisfaction bv
every mend oi tne country. As-iar as
is known nine out of the seventeen uiem
bers elected in the two States, are Union
men.
The Trial of Jeff Davis.
"Wasiiixfton, Aug. 15.
1 . r sit ".
2s tne result ot careiui inquiry it is
believed there is an unwillingues on the
part of a portion of the cabinet to have
Jeff. Davis tried for-treason, while there
is reason for asserting that the President
is persistent in having it brought before
a civil tribunal. Chief Justice Chase is
expected to arrive here in the course of a
few days for consultation with the Presi
dent as to the time, manner and plan
which shall be designated.
The ablest counsel of the country are
also being consulted on the subject.
There is a fixed determination by the Ex
ecutive that there should be an immedi
ate and fair trial, by a jury of the coun
try for high treason.
It may, in addition to the above, be as
confidently asserted that the President
has determined, as soon as practicable, to
withdraw the orders suspending the priv
ileges oT the writ of habeas corpus, and
to dispense with military courts.

Stand by the Administration
During the perilous- days of the Re
public, when the fortunes of war seemed
full of doubt and uncertainty, and dark
clouds lowered over the country, we were
want to make earnest appeals to the peo
ple of the North to stand firm in the faith
of ultimate victory, and to raise up and
strengthen the hands of him who has
since been martyred, by a cordial sympa
thy co-operation in the great business of
putting down the rebellion. And the
dangers and struggles of that time, it was
almost treason to hesitate or doubt. Ne
cessity seemed to demand an unques
tioning support to the Government de
facto, regardless of the political issues he
was supposed to represent.
In the presence of our great emergency
all considerations of political policy were
blotted out, and m the popular cxpres
sions at the polls, during those years, was
exhibited the solemn sense of the masses,
ot the absorbing and controlling necessity
of standing by the government regardless
of party. Looking back upon thoae days
upon the overwhelming defeats which
were registered against the democrtaic
party, aud the bitter odium which at
tached to those who evinced a lack of
svnmathv to the rovernment, we can see
the true secret of our national strength
and our national success. It rested in
the exalted loyalty of the masses, which
subordinated everything to an unques
tioning loyalty, and cast aside, or at least
postponed, the old issues upon which they
had been arrayed in bitterly hostile fac
tions. It was a demonstration of reliable
hisrh moral popular sentiment sufficient
o Aft
to preserve the nation in so great a crisis
Now that we have emerged succcsfully
from the terrible armed struggle, and
have reverted to a condition of quasi
peace, there arc many among us who mis
takenly imagine that the necessity for a
steady and persistent support orthe Gov
ernment is at an end. They forget that
in everything except its armed .array, the
South toward the Union is unchanged,
and that in the silent struggle of recon
struction which has intervened all the
fruits of our bloody sacrifices are involved
1 hey iorget, somewhat too. easily, we
think, the unscrupulous nature of the
foes with whom we have contended, and
the unchanged bitterness which has anima
ted aud will continue to animate them,
until the last detail of rehabilitation shall
have been irrevocably settled. The"y
seem to forget that under the promptings
of humiliating defeat the rebels arc still
full of that "unconquerable hate aud study
of revenge which auimated Milton's
Lucifer : aud that so far as results are
concerned, the present is a crisis equally,
if not more important, than that which
existed in the darkest hour of the war.
We deem it to be now, as much a3 ev
er, the duty of true patriotism to rally
around the national administration, and
to sustaiu the President by a pronounced
and co-operative popular sentiment in the
difficult and critical task to which he has
fallen heir through the assassination of
his predecessor. We believe him to be
actuated by the purest aud best of mo
tives, aud impelled by a wise regard for
the law, in the enunciations of his policy.
