whose efforts and intelligence can keep up with the
rail road pace of the present day. H. M. Bracken
ridge'. experience belongs to a bygone generation, and
will be as much at fault in devising measures to suit
the present times. AS were Rip Van Winkle's recol
lections suited to the people among whom he friend
himself when he awoke from his long nap in Sleepy
Hollow. His experience will be rather an injury to
the project than otherwise, and then the malignity of
his political course cannot but create a feeling of aver
sion in the breast of every democrat.
It is well known that this man. who was lifted from
obscurity by Gen Jackson, has long been the maligner
of his early benefactor, and that he has assailed him in
every form of columny that malicecould invent. He a
bandoned thebroad course of political opposition which
an honorable opponent would pursue, and assailed on
matters which the most violent politician, if he had
one spark of honor would consider sacred. Is it prob
able that such a trhig can have influence with the dem
crati mnjority in the Pennsylvania Legislature? No
man posseased of common sense, will say he could or
should. The veneration in which the fame of General
Jackson is held by the democracy of Pennsylvania, is
too pure and enduring to permit them to forget his s lan
flerets, and while the good old man yet lives, it is not
likely that they can regard with any very friendly feel
ing, one who haishal l ivn thyroids him such black ingrat
itude and has lobOred so perseveringly to injure I im
in the bsteem of his feflo-W-citizens.
Again, in the nomination of Mr. McCurdy and the
rejection of Mr. Muse, they appear to act for the pur-
Tose of placing the Rail Road in jeopardy, or at least
'placing it at the mercy of those whose interests would
lead them to desire its defeat. Mr. Muse lives in the
neighborhood through which theproposed Rail Road
would run, and of course feels some personal interest
in its success, Lot Mr , IcCurdy lives in a portion of
.the country that is deeply interested in the prosperity
of the Monongahela Navig - ation, and cannot but feel
averse many project which might be injurious to its

„Plices that are entertained by many of b:s neighbors
against any improvement that would come in compe

These are the kind of friends to the Rail Road that
the Whigs have nominated, and we leave it to the peo
ple to say whether persons more unlikely to be useful
in carrying that measure, could be selected from the
whole universal w big party?
ISTRIBUTINO, THE riELI,I, FUN D. — According to
notice, the Committee of Councils were in Fe4sion
yesterday, at the Mayor's Office, to distribute the Re
lief Fund to the class or classes of persons whose
losses did not exceed 500 dollars. The day was ex•
ceedingly hot, and the crowd was large and eager.
By the time a man had got through the press, obtain.
ed his audience with the committee, pled his cause,
and made his way out again, he was indeed a "suf
ferer." The duties of the committee are very onerous,
and a more thankless duty than theirs was never per.
formed. We understood that they made good pro-
veils at their business, all things considered.

about the New York State Prison at Auburn. The

justice to those who have Buffered so long from the in

The following evening he was to address the public
on the Annexation question.
ere PRISON.-A man who was lately a
convict in this prison has written a pamphlet, in which
ho charges the officers of the institution with every
species of cruelty, and the Warden, Col. Carr, with
treachery, deceit, falsehood and drunkenness. These
accusations should not be treated lightly. The•char.,
acter of the men who have charge of our prisons is a
matter to which the public should pay strict attention,
unless they are willing to make those institutions mere
nurseries of clime.

ishment in December, The Nlinet says:
Morisetto was not in company with the other Can

can convicts who were landed in anothe r part of the
per.al color}; these last are reported to have been
crucl:y ill lieated during their captisity. Mnrisett did
not take his passage home with the others; they did
not meet until they reached Whitehall, and their nut
pliso was great, as they never had seen each other
since their separation near Butralo. The remainder
of the exiles at Sydney were all well, some had the
means of returning, but were wasting for their other
companions in misfottune. It is said that pecuniary
assistance has been forwarded to them, and that there
is no doubt that they are all now on their passage
home.
DEFAULTERS.
Gov. Skunk and his Cabinet, determined to spare no
effort to secure the payment of our August interest,
hir‘e caused the following circular to be issued from the
Accountant Deparimer t, to ell who are in default to
the Government, informing them and their sureties
that if :he principal of their dues are not paid before
the 15th of July next, suit will be immediately brought
against them, under the act of the lust Legislature
providing therefor. We sincerely hope that this de
termination will be persevered in, and that the collec
tion of the large amount due the commonwealth from
defaulters will be sternly insisted on. A large amount
of the dues are now of many years standing, not be
cause they were uncollectable, but on account of the
indulgence of the commonwealth.—Pennsy/vanian.

Sellers' Liver Pills,
For the Cure ef Liver Complaint and another dig.
eases arising from a deranged State of the
Liver.
T ' following testimony from Dr Patello,of Ports
mouth, Ohio, a graduated Physician and an old
practitioner, is a sufficient proof for the most incredu
,
lons, that Seller's celebrated Liver Pills du, and can,
relieve the afflicted.
It affords me great pletuture to say thet 1 have made
repeated trials of your celebrated Liver Pills, and find
them better adapted to the purpose for which they are
designed (liver diseases,) than any medicine or com
bination of medicines I have ever used. They are in
great demand here, and act well.
Yours Truly, R. H. PATELLO, M. D.
Hear what another Physician says about them:
Findlay Tosouhip, Allegheny Coasts, Pa, -
May lit, 1895.
Mr E Seliers:—l bertby inform you that I have
used Sellers' Liver Pills in chronic affections of the
Liver, rind have found them to act effectually in all
cases in which 1 bore tried them. Being engaged in
the practice of medicine, I have ample opportunities.
to test their virtues, and have invariabLy found Use to
he what you claim for them-- a safe and certain remedy
fur all diseases of the Liver and Bary organs in
which a gentle laxative andwilffcative medicine is re
quired. If it were necessary, I could instance many
cases in which great good has followed the urea your
Pills, but do not think it worth while, as the Pills will
recommend the.nselves whenever and wherever nsed.
Yours respectfully, S. P. MORRISON.
