We are indebted to Senator Bigler for a
copy of a somewhat voluminous, but very in.
teresting report of the Secretary of the In
terior on the cotton consumption of Europe.—
We should rejoice, as we presume would also
every citizen of Pennsylvania, to see a similar
report relative to iron.
This report states the consumption of raw'
cotton in the different European countries,
their sources of supply, their efficiency in the
manufacturing of cotton, etc.
Great Britain, which is the largest con
sumer, imported in 1856 of raw cotton 780,
000,000 pounds, of which came from the
United States 536,000,000 ; from the East In.
dies 180,000,000.
France cornednext in order in the quantity
and value of cotton consumed, and also manu
factures a greater variety of articles. In taste
and beauty of tissues she takes the lead in all
modern. It is scarcely 60 years since the first
attempts at cotton spining were made in Paris,
yet in 1855 there were in France 2,040 spin~
neries, factories for tissues, and accessory es
tablishments. The total number of hands
employed by them is 274,930. The quantity
of raw cotton need is 135,226,000 pounds,
worth $17,519,756, from which are fabricated
tissues worth 862,012,400—an increase in
value equal to 350 per cent.
The report covers one hundred pages, and
gives a great variety of interesting statistics.
We are indebted to the Pennsylvanian for ssv
ing us a large portion of the labor of making
'an obstruct of its contents, suitable for newe ,
paper publication.
Stich documents contain information of
great utility, and we hope Mr. Bigler, who
represents the great iron producing State of
Pennsylvania may cause the preparation and
publication of a similar report upon the com
parative production and consumption of iron.
Such a document would be a welcome one to
every Pensylvanian.
In 1857 France imported raw cotton from
the United States, pounds 150,125,083
From other countries 21,509,448
•
Total pounds. 180,064,521
Switzerland, which combines the advantages
of great mechanical skill, abundance of capi
tal and low price of labor, produces cotton
fabrics which rank in cheapness next to those
of the United States and Great Britain.
'Cotton manufactures were known at Zurich
as early as 1419. Cotton cambric were man.
ufaCtured in Appenzell in 1746. Towards the
close of the last century, the French bribed
away Swiss operatives, and induced them to
settle in France, while the French government
carried out the policy of prohibition, which
was followed by a fall of the price of cotton
fabrics in Switzerland of from 40 to 50 per
cent. Later, Switzerland was invaded by the
French, and shared for some time the fortunes
of the first Empire in commerce and manufac
tures. In 1800, spinning machines were in'.
troduced into St. Gall, and power looms in
1801. The report does not contain summary
statements Of the cotton mannfactures in
Switzerland. The importations of raw cotton
amounted in 1850 to 28,580,310 pounds. The
wages arc lower in Switzerland than any. ,
where else in Europe, and the working days
longer. The working day, says the report, is
fourteen hours, and in the winter it is not un
common to work from 6 o'clock A. M., to
midnight, (19 hours,) with customary inter,
mission for meals. Children begin to work
at ten years, and in some instances at six.
Their wages do not exceed s . cents per day for
some time after entering the mill. Women get
from 16 to 30 cents. Men from 40 to 60
cents. Considering the length of the work
ing days, these wages are much lower than
those paid in France, and the working system
much more cruel.
The HEWN Towns, Bremen and Hamburg,
do not manufacture, but only import raw cot
ton, which they distribute among the follow
ing States :—The German Customs Union,
Switzerland,' Austria, Prussia, Sweden. The
imports of raw cotton into Bremen, in 1856,
amounted to 45,539,985 pounds, mostly from
Great Britain, and of cotton tissues for the
value of $2,821,362, The imports of raw cot,
ton into Hamburg, in 1855, amounted to 47,-
083,451 lbs., of which only 6,500,000 lbs.
were directly imported from the United States,
and but 34,000,000 from England. here there
is a wide field open fdr the American ship
ping interests and direct trade. Of cotton
yarns were imported into Hamburg, in 1855,
54,753,907 lbs.
The Zell-Verein States will have in opera
tion in 1858, with the completion of tho ()stab ,
lishments in process of construction, 2,018,•
145 spindles ; while there are in Prance
3,250,000, and in Great Britain 21,000,000
spindles. The number of establishments for
spinning cotton and weaving tissues will then
amount to 208, which need for consumption
235,950 bales-of cotton.
Austria numbered in 1551, 208 cotton man•
ufactories, with a total of 1,482,138 spindles,
and a consuming capacity of 131,000 bales.
Russia, says the report, whose enlightened
statesmen, seemed fully to appreciate the
portancs of this industry, had kept nearly
equal pace with the other continental States
in the increase of consumption and mannfae
ture of cotton. Russia imported—

Until 1842 the spinners made little progress,
the difficulty consisting in the impossibility
of procuring, up to that date, proper machi •
nary, the importation of English machinery
being prohibited. At the period of the com
mercial crisis of 1511-2 the spinners of Mos
cow obtained a temporary increase of the duties
on twist from 5 roubles to 5 1 , roubles, which
rate was finally lowered by the tariff of 1857.
This duty, which gave great impulse to the
spinning mills, was deemed equal to the enor-.
mous rate of 60 per cent,, ad valorem. This
heavy duty, observes a Russian statesman,
Mr. Tegoborski, which had rendered the man
ufacturera independent, had also made fabrics
dear, and " a host of speculators, workin g on
borrowed capital at a high rate of interest,
"had a number of ilbregulated establishments,
which, without the bounty of a highly pro
- tective tariff, could not exist. The same au
thority estimates the total numbar of spin
dles in operation in Russia, at 1,100,000 ; the
total number of workmen employed in spin
rt eries , weaving, bleaching 'and dyeing estab
lishments at 200,000.

THE DISPATCH.
Our neighbors of the Daily Dispatch issued
their paper on Monday morning in a neat new
dress. We congratulate them upon this re
newed sign of prosperity. The Dispatch is
a real live paper—always up in the news,
both local and domestic. One of its editors—
Mr. F. B. Plimpton—is a gentleman of flue
literary taste, and a poet, to boot. He has
christened the new type with a very clever
little poem, entitled "The Nobly Great." We
quote the concluding verse as a "specimen
brick :"
"Tho marble crumbles: monuments decay;
And brazen statutes topple to their fall;
Time eats the hardest adamant away,
And cold Oblivion mats the pride of all,
But he who graces every act with love,
Or stamps a thought with the impress of Truth,
Twines laureled honors of peril:trial youth
Around his brow, and life in duty spent
Builds in the hearts of men a monument
Which Hate or Time shall vainly strive to move."
Messrs. Foster & Fleeson have our best
wishes for their prosperity, health and happi
ness. Of their capacity and tact in conduct
ing a public newspaper we need not speak.
Their success in the business speaks for itself.
Reonozny of Congress.
A correspondent of the Philadelphia Led; Er
says that Congress is quite determined not to
borrow money for any but necessary purposes,
and hardly even for them. They will not con•
tinue the harbor and river improvements,
though these are the very means through
which the revenue is increased. Congress,
too, applies its economy to its own expendi
tures, at least in regard to the public printing.
Tons of documents have been laid before Con
gress, which would have made the fortunes of
printers and binders, but which will not now
be ordered to be printed. Last year all this
trash would have been grist for the mill of
public plunder.
illunical Concert.
M. Mellor has received a dispatch from Mr.
Gran, the agent, announcing that on Thurs
day of .next week, the 20th inst., a grand
concert will be given in the City Hall, by
D'Angri, Thalberg, Vieuxtemps and Juliana
May. The music lovers of our city and
vicinity may expect a rich treat. Particus

F aloe Rumors.
The Washington ;Union notices the strag
gling rumors which have got into the opposition
newspapers intimating probable modifications
or changes in the cabinet, and pronounces
them unfounded and gratuitous. Probably
no administration in the history of the coun
try has so entirely harmonized on all meas
ures of policy as the present one ; and no fact
is more certain than that each and every trim_
ber of the cabinet enjoys the entire and im%
plicit confidence of the President.
Partlculara of Lilo Death of Senator
Evans
We have already announced by telegraph the
sudden death of Hon. Josiah J. Evans, United
States Senator from South Carolina, on Thureday
of last week. It appears that in company with
several other distinguished gentlemen, he had
dined at the house of Senator Hammond, also of
South Carolina, and left there for his home after
ten o'clock, apparently in the enjoyment of usual
good health. Shortly after reaching home he
was attacked with disease of the heart, and ex
pired about eleven o'clock. He occupied his seat
in the Senate the previous day, and exhibited no
symptoms of approaching dissolution.
. Judge Evans, as be was called by his acquaint
ances, was a native of Marlborough district,
South Carolina, of Welch descent, and upwards
of sixty-five years of age. Ho graduated, says
the New York Herald, at Columbia College, in
this city, and was educated as a lawyer, in which
profession he acquired some distinction in his
native State by an extensive practice. He rep
resented his district for several terms in the
State Legislature, and was in 1829 appointed
Judge of the Court of Common Pleas, which po
sition he held until his election to Congress in
1853, to succeed Hon. Wm. F. Desaussure, who
was appointed for the unexpired term of R. B.
Rhett. He was about five feet ten inches in
height, and vigorous for his years. He was quite
wealthy, and his social qualities were universally
esteemed.
He was elected to his position because he had
gained in his capacity as Judge the highest char
acter for integrity, wisdom and consistency in
his decisions ; on account of his sustenance of
the peculiar doctrines of Southern rights, which
are so essential to make up a man to be the rep
resentative in Congress of South Carolina; and
for the marked and simple virtues, public and
private, which distinguished him since he has
been in the Senate. Though ho has not distin
guished himself much, his course has been iden
tified with the ultra Southern school of the South
Carolina creed, of which he has been an honest
and consistent representative. He was more
solid than brilliant, more virtuous than talented;
and though he did not attain the eminence of his
predecessors—Hayne, Calhoun and Butler—his
quiet, unobtrusive, simple virtues, and his unim
peachable integrity, secured for him the universal
respect of his fellow men, and gained for him
especial popularity in his own State as a pleader,
a Judge, a Senator and a man. His term of
office would have expired on the 4th of March
next.
Bridge between France and England.
Mr. Boyd, an English engineer, proposes a
bridge from Cape Gris Neg, in France to Doti
vies, in England—the length of this route
being eighteen English miles. The bridge will
rest on 191 arches of 590 English feet in cir
cumference each. It is proposed to bo in the
form of a viaduct 30 feet wide and 60 feet high,
in which two or three tracks of rails shall be
placed, On each of the arches there is a large
tower with construction for ventilation of the
passage through which the viaduct is to pass
at an elevation of 300 feet above the level of
the sea, which leaves ample room for the pas.
sage of vessels, the largest of which never reach
higher than 217 feet. In order to prevent ves
sels from being damaged by being thrown against
the arches of the bridge during a gale, they
are proposed to be surrounded with India
rubber. The author of this gigantic project
has estimated the total cost at the amount
of thirty millions of pound sterling—nearly a
hundred and fifty millions of dollars.

EPISCOPAL/AN NEWS.
In the several Episcopalian churches of the
city it was announced on Sunday that the Right
ft:..verend Bishop Hopkins, of Vermont, would
visit the city during the present week, and par
terre the official duties appertaining to the
bishopric in place of Rt. Rev. Alonzo Potter,
Bishop of Pennsylvania, who has recently eailed
for Europe for the benefit of his health.
On Tuesday evening at 7 o'clock, Bishop Hop
kins will visit the Episcopal Church in Lawrence
ville; on Wednesday evening at half-past seven,
he will be present at St. Andrew's Church, Hand
street ; on Thurday evening at the same hour,
he will be at Trinity Church, at which time and
place a joint meeting of the several Episcopalian
congregations in the city will be held ; and on
Friday evening at seven o'clock, he will visit St.
Murk's Church, in Birmingham.
On next Sabbath, Bishop Hopkins will admin
ister the sacred rite of confirmation at Trinity
Church in the forenoon, at Christ Church in Al
legheny City in the afternoon, and at St. Peter's
Church in the evening.
This visit of Bishop Hopkins is one of peculiar
interest, not only to the members of the Episco
pal Church, but to large numbers of old Pitts
burghers. The Bishop was for many years a
resident of this city, first as a member cf the
legal profession, and subsequently as Rector of
Trinity Church. He is still remembered with
respect and love by his old friends and acquain
tances, all of whom will welcome his temporary
return to the city where he once resided.
Bishop Potter has addressed a circular to the
several churches composing the diocese of Penn
sylvania, asking that in view of his age and the
increasing infirmity of his health, an assistant
Bishop may be appointed for Pennsylvania by
the convention which meets during the present
month. The diocese is a large one, and the
labor of visiting all the churches and missionary
stations within its limits is entirely too much for
one man, no matter how strong he may be, and
the recent illness of Bishop Potter has admon
ished his friends and the church that his powers
ought not to be overtaxed as they have been.
We have no doubt that in pursuance to the canon
of the Episcopal Church on this subject, an as
sistant will be appointed by the convention.
The number of churches in the diocese has
greatly increased since Bishop Potter was called
to fill his present office in the church, and the
question of a division of the diocese has more
than once been proposed. Even were this to be
done, the ago and infirmities of Dr. Potter would
render it necessary that he should have aid in
the sacred duties of his calling.
The Thrill Committee Investigation.
A special despatch to the New York Herald,
of Sunday, gives us the following:—
The Tariff Investigating Committee are still
engaged examining witnesses and procuring foots
with reference to the eighty-seven thousand dol
lars. They have recently had a witness before
them—whose name I am not at present allowed
to mention, but who was connected with the firm
of Lawrence, Stone & Co.—who, in his state
ment, has accounted for most of the eighty-seven
thousand dollars, or at least the parties who re
ceived it. He states that among othsra who re
ceived motley for their services Thurlow Weed
received five thousand dollars—that in fact he
paid, him the money. How much more he re
ceived ho does not know. Neither does he know
how much Wolcott paid him (Weed.) . The Com
mittee have accordingly sent a subpoena for Thur
low, and ho will probably be here in a day or
two. The committee are curious to know how
he (Weed) is to get out of this ; for hero is proof
positive that he was paid five thousand dollars.
After Thurlow has been examined, the committee
will be ready to report, unless his testimony may
elicit other facts which may possibly require
further examination.
The committee have also got some pretty
strong evidence against a man by the name of
Corbin, who has been Clerk to the House Com
mittee on Claims for many years. He, too, re
cPived a pretty large amount of money according
to his own showing; for he addressed a letter to
ono of the numbers of the Boston company, in
forming them that it would take at least twenty
five or thirty thousand dollars more than he had
already received, to pass the Tariff bill. This
letter the committee has in its possession, which
is pretty strong proof against Mr. Corbin. If
the committee could only get at the facts they
have no doubt but that they could make certain
gentlemen tremble in their shoes.
HOW it la.
"So fair as this Congress is concerned, we
have admitted Kansas. If she desires to come
in under that bill, then our action is final and
conclusive. If she does not SO desire, then we
have not."
Such is the language of Senator Douglas, in
reply to a question put him by Senator Sews
ard. It is clearly and concisely stated. If
Kansas desires to be admitted with the Le
compton Constitution,' all she has to do is to
vote," proposition accepted;" if she does not so
desire she will vote, "proposition rejected," in
which case, says the Compromise bill, " it
shall be deemed and held that the people of Kan
sas do not desire admission into the Union WITH
SAID CONSTITUTION."
Another Dievv„ Territory.
The House Committee on Territories have
authorized their chairman to report a bill for
the organization of a Territorial government
out of territory west of Utah, Carson valley,
to be called Nevada. The othr applications
before the Committee for Territorial govern.,
melts will not be acted on this session.
The same committee authorized Mr. Zolli.
coffer to report Favorably to make uniform the
exercise of the right of suffrage in the several
Territories of the United States, confining the
same to citizens of the United States, native
born and naturalized. The latter of these
bills was reported on Monday. The former was
objected to.
Abundance off Gold.
The banks are puzzled to know where to look
for the investment of their capital, and many of
them are obliged to be satisfied with very long
collaterals, no other being offered in sufficient
amounts. It is very likely that some of the
banks will bid for the treasury notes to be
awarded next week, as they can be turned into
gold or its equivalent at any moment of pres
sure. Some of the bankers have feared that in
case of a demand for coin the possession of the
government notes might be felt as an embarrass
ment, but a moment's reflection mast satisfy
them of the utter groundlessness of this appre
hension. No demand for gold can affect the
banks unless it be for export or the payment of
duties, and, in the present state of our foreign
trade, the money must be wanted for duties be
fore there can be any considerable inquiry for
European remittance. Thus the treasury notes
oan be paid into the government treasury before
the coin in the banks can be reached for export.
A large portion of the gold now here will remain
on deposite until the wants of trade again oall it
into circulation. If the government expenses,
on account of the difficulties in Utah, should be
large, there may be considerable shipments of
coin to points at the West, but most of it will
soon find its way back to the seaboard to wait
for he more regular absorption through the old
channel of eiroulation.—N. Y. Journal of Com

The Atlantic Telegraph.
In the experiments through the entire cable at
Devonshire considerable obstacles to rapid com
munication arises. With the symbolic alphabet
at present used, about two words anda half per
minute only can be transmitted through the
whole length of the `wire. This rate of transmis
sion is only equal to 150 words, or about fifteen
lines of the Ledger per hour—very little over a
column in 24 hours. This would be the extent
of the transmissive power for a single newspaper
for the entire day. But when it is considered
that the business of two continents is to be accom
modated by it, and the government to use it be
sides, it, would practically be of little use to the
public unless the rate of transmission can be
greatly increased. The magnetic telegraph, on
a single wire, will transmit overland at the rate
of more than one thousand words per hour. Even
at this rapid rate of transmission, it has been
found necessary to put up seven working wires
between New York and Philadelphia, equal to al
most eight thousand words per hour, for the ac
commodation of the business between those two

FIRST SESSION
Yesterdlay , fi Proceedizags.
SENATE
The Senate mot at eleven o'clock, and transacted
considerable private and comparatively unimportant
business.
The Fisheries Bounty question was then con.
aidered, and Mr. Fessenden, of Maine, made an
elaborate speech in opposition to the repeal of the
bounties.
Mr. Chandler, of Michigan, presented a petieon
from the business men of the North-western lakes,
asking for an Lppropriation to investigate whether
Professor Ballot's theory of foretelling storms is ap
plicable to the locality of the lakes.
Mr. Doolittle submitted a joint resolution passed
by the Legislature of Wisconsin in favor cf granting
lands for the purpose of constructing a ship canal
around the Palls of Niagara.
Mr. Sebastian, of Arkansas, presented a petition
from Professor Schoolcraft, asking-for compensation
for collecting the materials embodied in the history
of the Indian tribes.
All these petitions, /61., were appropriately re
ferred.
Mr. Davis, of Mississippi, submitted a resolution
asking the Secretary of War for information con.
cerning Mordecai & Dolaplain's Crimson War Re•
pc rt.
Mr. Mallory, of Florida, Enbraitted a resolution
asking the Secretary of War for a report of the sur
veys of the Atrato and Irnando rivers.
Mr. Banter, of Virginia, submitted a resolution
that the cost of the funeral ceremonies of Senator
Evans be defrayed from the Contingent fund.
All of those resolutions wets agreed to.
Mr. Broderick, of California, offered a long reso
lution, charging the Postmaster at San .Francisco
with malfeasance in office, and requiring information
as to the reason why the Postmaster General did not
act in the matter.
The consideration of the resolution authorizing the
presentation of a medal to Com. Paulding, came up
as the special order of the day, but, on motion, it
was postponed.
The bill to repeal the Fisheries bounties was then
considered.
Mr. Fessenden, of Maine, made an elaborate argu
ment in support of the continuance of the Fisheries
bounties. His lino of reasoning was that the gov
ernmental policy which bestowed these bounties, was
to produce thereby a corps of seamen who would be
available in naval warfare ; secondly, that this policy
has proved effectual for the purpose for which it was
designed ; and, finally, that its continuance is abso
lately necessary to the navy, whereas its repeal would
be disastrous.
Mr. Simmons spoke in favor of the continuance of
the bounty, saying that its repeal would be the most
unfortunate species of economy.
Mr. Allen moved an amendment that the bounties
cease from the 31st December, 1859, Mr. Hamlin
amending by substituting December, 1865.
Mr. Crittenden had, from his entry into public life,
regarded this as part of the policy of the govern
ment, and had not found occasion to change his
opinion. A bill had passed the House to give lands
to educate mon as farmers, and why not equally
educate them as seamen. Hence he would vote
against their repeal.
Mr. Toombs spoke generally against bounties, mil
itary, naval and farming, for the reason that govern
ments educate worse and dearer then anybody elec.
This bounty was not originated as a means of found
ing a nursery of seamen, but only as a drawback on
salt.
Mr. Benjamin said that notwithstanding the repeal,
the cod would not cease to be an article of human
consumption.
Mr. Collamer had no doubt of the continuance of
the demand for cod for the supply of the world, but
the senator must remember that the reciprocity treaty
admits, duty free, fish caught by the British provin
cials, and the effect will be to raise seamen for the
British Navy, instead of the United States.
Mr. Benjamin replied that the reciprocity treaty
was acceded to by the South with the solo view of
benefit to their Northern brethren, there being no
reciprocal trade between Canada and the Southern
portion of tho Union.
Mr. Collamer, in reply, said in his opinion the
South acceded to the reciprocity treaty with the view
of giving Canada all the commercial advantages of
connection with thic Union, without her coming into
it to disturb the balance of political power between
the North and the South.
Mr. Green moved to postpone the question till to•
morrow.
The Senate then rent into executive session and
subsequently adjourned.
HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVE°
The House proceeded to tho consideration of the
business on the Speaker's table, and agreed to the
Senate amendments to the Military Academy bill.
Tho joint resolution from the Senate, extending
till January next the time for the President to ex
amine the records of the Naval Courts of Inquiry,
with a view to the restoration to the Navy of officers
affected by the action of the Naval Retiring Board,
was passed. Also, the Senate resolution authorizing
the President to make suitable acknowledgements to
the British naval authorities at Jamaica, for the re
lief extended to_the officers and crew of the steam
frigate Susquehanna, while suffering from the rav
ages of yellow fever.
Tho House passed the following Senate bills
Enlarging the Detroit and Saginaw land district;
for the relief of the Hungarian settlers on lands in
lowa, heretofore reserved from sale; authorizing the
Secretary of the Treasury to sell the old Custom
House and site, at Bath, Maine.
The House proceeded to the consideration of the
Senate bill directing the Secretary to pay out of the
fund heretofore received from Great Britain under
the treaty of Ghent, various sums to citizens of Vir
ginia, Maryland South Carolina, to compensate for
the loss of their slaves carried away by the British
during the war of 1812.
Mr. Bliss argued that these claims, instead of
being embraced in, aro expressly excluded by that
treaty.
Mr. Garnett replied, saying that the Governor of
Virginia is interested in the bill, and that the slaves
are to be paid for at the rate of $2BO per head, which
is ridiculously low. Whenever the subject of slavery
is mentioned, the gentleman from Ohio, Mr. Bliss, as
well as his older colleague, Mr. Giddings, seem
afflicted with a species of madness like dogs afflicted
with hydrophobia. Great Britain gave a round sum
in satisfaction of these claims, and it was for the
United States to make the disbursement. The gen
t'eman from Ohio, as a trustee, would keep the money
in his pocket for his own use, and not pay it to whom
it is due. Would he nay it for slaves?
Mr. Giddings said it was to be paid to Democrats.
Mr. Garnet replied that the Govornnr of Virginia
is a Demoorati and ho wanted the gentleman to be
more definite.

the gentleman's remark about a mad dog, which was
ungentlemanly and cowardly.

ness of heart, and who had been guilty of treason
against his country and his God.

strained the gentleman from Ohio.

laa-A GREAT BLESSING TO THE AFFLICTED.—Dr.
M'Lane, the inventor of the celebrated Liver Pills, prepared
by Fleming Bros., Pittsburgh, Pa., used these Pills for sev
eral years in his practice, before ho cou'd be induced to offer
them to the public in such a manner as to make them known
throughout the country. This /earned physician felt the
same repugnance that all high minded men of science feel
in entering the lists against those unscrupulous empirics
who obtrude their useless nostrums upon the public, and
rely upon a system of pulling to euntain them. Convinced,
however, of the real value of the Liver Pills, and influenced
by the plain dictates of duty, the Doctor finally authorized
Fleming Bros., of Pittsburgh, Pa., who are now the sole pro
prietors, to manufacture end plate them before the public.
This great medicine has not disilitpointed the expectations
alas friends, the medical faculty; at whose instance he was
induced to place them before the public in their present
popular form. From every quarter do wo hear the meet
gratifying accounts of their wonderful curative effects—the
East and the West, the North and the South, are alike laden
with , g tidings of great joy " from the afflicted. These won
derful Pills have completely conquered ;that :great scourge
of Amerce, the Liver Complaint.

From Washington.
NEW You K, May 10.—The Washington correspon
dent of the Now York Times says the difficulty which
has occurred between Senator Pugh, of Ohio, and
the President, is apparently irreconcilable, though
efforts have boon made to patch up a peace. The
quarrel has gone so far that Pugh deolaros ho will
never again enter the White House while Buchanan
is President, and the President is reported to have
said that ho regards Pugh no better than Hale. This
difficulty, combined with other causes, have delayed
the Ohio appointments, which have not been made
yet. It is impossible, however, to pass over Pugh's
friends entirely, since they constitute the Lecompton
branch of the Ohio Democracy. In the particular
case where Pugh's wishes were most direct'y disre
garded, (the appointment of Marshal of the Northern
District of Ohio,) his candidate was also supported
by Messrs. Burns, Miller, and others of the Ohio del
egation, none of whom seem to exercise a very great
amount of influence on the President.
Any rumors that Judge Douglas is going to Kan
sas to stump it against the adoption of tho Lecomp
ton English programme are unfounded. Douglas
says ho adhoros strictly to the principle of non•inter
vention, and believes in letting the peoplo thorn set
tle the matter in their own way ontirely.
Neuralgia.
A gentleman living in Philadelphia says :
" In passing through Pittsburgh, some months
since, I purchased a bottle of Bcerhave'o Holland
Bitters. It relieved me so much, that on returning
home I bought two more bottles from Dr. Dyott,
which completely cured me of Neuralgia. I have
recommended the article to many of my friends, and
four or five of the number say it cured them. I
think my recommendation has done more for its sale
in Philadelphia than your advertising."
(We are not permitted to publish the name, but
any person calling at the store, or communicating
with us by letter, will be convinced of the truth of
this statement.)
Ociationl—Be careful to ask for Beurkaoo's Holland
Bitters. Sold at $1 per bottlo, or six bottles for $5,
