Btuirjaet to OOVB. Cnrtln and
Weary.
The IJoj3 in Uluc of llarris'iurg, gave
a complimentary supper to Govs. Curtin
r.nd Geary on Thursday evening last,
which was attouded by a large number
of distinguished guests. Ihi following
am jug other regular toasts weto offered :
The (itst regular tcuit was"Washing
ton and Lincoln —the Father and Savior
i.f the lfcp'ibiie." i>rank standing ond
in silence.
Second. "Coagress—the hope of a

created great enthusiasm.
llotv t)«vid Fleming, Speaker of the
feat Senate, respouded in glowing terms.
Third. '-Our Flag—proved Symbol of
Universal' Liberty."
Prof. J. P. Wicker.-haai replied in a

Fourth. ' The hero—Gcu. U. S Grant.'
This ra drauk stcuding, aud with ehccr
upon cheer.
Fifth. "Mnj. General John W. Geary,
the Governor elect of Pennsylvania —the
hero of two wars, the champion of free
dom, the statesman and orator, whose
past glorious record gives high promise
of a brilliant future, and justly merits the
high office to v.h ch the people h.ve
cbcted him. His honesty, iutegrity ai d
fairness are sure guaranties for the succe;s
of his administration." This was re.
ceivcd with unbounded enthusiasm.
[Gen. Geary, though invited, and the
invitation acknowledged in a dispatch
announcing his intention to be present,
was called elsewhere ou important private
business, passing through here at eight
o'clock P. M]
Sixth. ' Gov. Curtin:—llis Adminis
tration of the State, both civic and mili
tary, so guided by statesmanship and im
partial justice to all, and so tempered by
mercy, as to leave at the close of his
eventful terms of office no issue for ad
justment by the people, is the cherished
legacy of the State, and his name is a
household word with her people; the first
among the seutincls of liberty to uive
warning to prepare for war, to pledge the
the faith aud support of our good old
Commonwealth to the lauieutud Lincoln;
to push forward troops to the scene of the
cxpectea struggle; to organize an army
in reserve, which after the disaster at
Bull llun saved the nation'* capitol and
honor; and to care for and educate the
children of our fallen comrades; he is
entitled to the thanks and re;ogniii n of
the citizen soldiers aud the people he has
served so well."
The applause which greeted this toast
was general and unbounded. Demon
stration ujion demonstratiou ensued, and
the enthusiam was prolonged for several
minutes. Gov. Curtin rose aud said :
Getlemen : —Our hearts can reply even
in the accompaniment to that happy toast.
Thank God ! we are now at peace. 'J lie
war that has so long desolated our coun
try has closed. No longer is the soldier
exposed to the dangers and perils of the
fc if; to the long vigils of the outpost
aud the picket. God grant we may long
remain at peace, and that he uiay till our
rulers with wisdom that, they may been*
abled to transmit to their children and
their children's children, the blessings of
a lasting peace. No man who has been
connected with the army desires this
country again engaged in war. When
wo reflect that all over this land thero
grp widows nnd orphans, wretched with
sorrow, care, and anxiety, every true man
will desire that our country may remain
in peace. Give us no war. It means
that civilizod people shall relapse into
barbarism. It means neglected homes
and the hurried hopes of thousands, aud
we should all desire to avert calamities
so laleful to our country.
We pledged our soldiers that they
should be eared for. Alt the people cared
for them when they were sick and woun
ded, and sore and weary. The whole na
tion stood aghast when they read the list
of killed and wounded. All liberal,
true, patriotic people at home were en
gaged in sustaining the army in the field.
Rich men poured forth their wealth, and
the women toiled by day and by the
light of the lamp for the soldier. It was
not only the hero in the field who strove
to sustain the Government—there were
lierots at home. [Applause.] If there
be a man before me to whom you can bow
down in respect, it is the private soldier
of the Republic. His funeral march
was not accompanied by the pomp and
pagcapfry of rank. Give praise also to
the wife, the children and the friends of
the soldier. For the man who stormed
the battlement, who faced the enemy, and
who took part in the battle charge, is no
more a hero than* the woman who, at
iiom>, knit stockings for the man at the
front, and who, morning and evening,
prayed for him. [Applause.] Aye, at
day time and at eventide, in the still si-
Jencc of the poaceful night, there were
going up prayer for your safety. They
could not bo with you but they asked
G n d to be with you. [Applause ] For
(you struggled lor a free Government—
the Government of a civilized aud Chris
tian people. It was not the citizen that
.rallied to. It was the citizen that
rallied around you.
Soldiers of the Republic you were the
firsjt to enter the buule field. And now
you were the first to enter the field in this
political eontest. You gave in nomina
tion a distinguished and gallant soldier.
You placed your candidate in nomination
und the citieens rallied around you, and
the election was the result. [Cheers]—
Your thoughts were upon your homes :
jind now that pq, j e<Jias brought you back,
iiy the .omnipotence of the ballot box you
once more decjpre for your country. —
[Applause.] *i<:w York, New Jersey,
Massachusetts, upd the great States of
the W-.st join hapds with you, and there
is now all over the loyal North an echo*
ing. and re echoing fiuswer to your bugle
call—a North that raised the money to
sustain you—a North that rallied around
.you in the deadly breach—a North that
.poured out its s_ns like water for the
honor and triumph of law and Govcrn
n cut. [Applause ] The loyal North
have declared tb:>t the people waged war,
and we, of the people, by bur represen
tatives in Congress, must see to it that its
triumphs are garnered.
And you, by the ballot, have declared
that the Itebels shall accept its condi
tions. [Cheer .] That id our ultimatum.
Cougress will staiid by the amendments
in good faith. [Cheers.] Never,in the
history of the world, did ihc people of
this or any other nation offer such just
and magnani'uous terms. And I would
l.ave uiy Government patient in allowing
the Itchel to accept these toims. Ltrust
we will act \u gofd faith ou tint cove
nant. IJut »112 they fail to adopt these
amendments, Government must rest upon
somebody in the South, and it will be the
duty of Congress to find some people who
are loyal and true without a peradven
ture, and then rest that Government upon
them. [Great cheering.] Justice and
liberality to all mankind, of all colors,
races and climes, and our flag, I trust, is
the symbol of that Christian spirit of
justice and liberality to all
T hree cheers were then given for Gov
eroor Curtiu.
WHAT IT COSTS TO UEBEL.— One of
tl\e editors of the Scltna ( \la.) Messen
ger writing from Tuscaloosa, says :
"A little business in the courthouse
led me to anquire into the financial con
dition of this country, and I lcaru that
sheriff's sales are becoming so common
that almost no purchasers are to bo found
for the valuable lauds and other property
exposed for sale. A gentleman informed
me that some twenty farmers had been
sold out lately, their lands briuging less
than one dollor per acre A sad instance
of the reverse of fortune produced by
the war was mentioned iu the case of old
Mr. Prewett, of this county, whose estate
was sold out jn the first monday of this
month. At the breaking out of the war
he was the wealthiest citizeu ofTusealoo
sa County, lie owneJ three hundred
and sixty slaves, and large tracts of land.
He had large sums of money out at in
terest, secured by mortgage of negro prop
erty and land. He was a homespun,
economical countryaian, who bought ev
ery thing at the lowest price for cash.—
lie paid his physician's bill before the
doctor left the house. When Gen. Crox
ton came to Tuscaloosa, ho took from this
old man some forty head of horses and
mules, all his money, provisions, etc.,
which was his first calamity. Next came
emancipation, which swept his slave pro
perty. Next came the breaking up of
all the men tq whom l'rewett had loaned
money, or for whom he stood security
Finally an execution was levied on his
property for a few thousand dollars, and
all his real estate wag sold under the
sheriff"s hammar for six hundred dollars!"
DRUNKEN CHILDREN. — The repre
hensible practice of supplying children
with intoxicating drinks for their owu
consumption is still carried on by many
publicans and beersellers all over the
countiy, and we are glad to notice that in
the metropolis an effort is about to be
made to enforce a clause in the police act
against supplying with drink children un
der sixteen years of age for ih.irVwn con
sump'ion. A correspondent of the Star
says the extent to which beer shops, pub
lic housei, and gin palaces are frequented
by mere children for the purpose of drink
ing is simply frightful. On Mouday
morning the magistrates of Liverpool hail
before them twenty boys and girls under
the age of seventeen, "all of whom had
been found beastly drunk in the public
streets on Sunday, and incapable of tak
ing care of themselves." On a given
Sunday the publicans of Manchester had
the pleasure of seeing 22,000 children
enter their premises. A clergyman en
tered a room in a Manchester beer shop
at about one o'clock in the morning, and
found it full of boys and girls drinking.
In Derby mere children have been found
drunk in thi! top room of a low house.—
In Salisbury a gentleman saw a crowd of
young people, some of Sunday school
scholar?, imbibing beer in the back pre
mises of a beer shop on Sunday mooning
during church hours. So great is the
evil of juvenile drinking in Middlesboro'
that the chief constable has thought it
his duty to issue a police notice in refer
ence to it. Near Portsmouth is a sort of
public house fair, and from it young peo
ple have been seen rolling home drunk at
seven o'clock in the morning, they hav
ing been drinking and dancing all night.
In Scotland, also, this sad evil prevails.

A New and Grand Fpoch in Medicine!
I)R. MAGOIEL is the founder of a pew
Medical #ystonj! The quantitarians,
whose vast internal doses eufeeble the
stomach and paralyze the bowel.-', must
give precedence to the man who restores
health and appetite, with from one to two
of his extraordinary Pills, and cares the
most virulent sores with a box or so of his
wonderful and all-healing Salve. These
two great specifics of the Doctor are fast
superseding all the stereotyped nostrums
of the day. Kxtraordinary cures by
Maggiel's Pills and Salve have opened
the eyes of the public to the inefficiency
of the (so called) remedies of others, and
upon which people have so long blindly
depended. Maggiel's Pills are not of the
class that swallowed by the dozen, and
of which every box full taken creates an
absolute necessity for another. One or
two of Maggiel's Pills suffices to place the
bowels in perfect order, tone the stomach,
cieates an appetite, and render the spirits
light and buoyant ! Qhere is no griping
and no reaction in the form of constipa
tion. If the liver is affected, its func
tions are restored; and if the nervous
system is feeble, it is invigorated. This
last quality makes the medicines very
desirable for the wants of delicato fe
males. Ulcerous and eruptive disoascs
are literally extinguished by the disen
fectant power of Maggiel s Salvo. In
fact, it is hcie announced that MAOGIEL'S
BILIOUS, DYSPEPTIC AND DIARRHEA
PILLS cure where all others fail. While
for Burns, Scalds, Chilblains, Cuts and!
all abrasions of the skin, MAIIGIEL''B
SALVE is infalliuble. Sold by J. MAO

THOMAS ROBINSON. - - Editor.
BUTLER PA.
WEDStESDAY, XOV. 31, IS6O.
Liberty and Union, Now and Forever, On*
and'nseparabie."—D. Webster.
The long winter nights are now
coming on. The boys aud girls, after re
turning from school, would like to spend
an hour or two looking over the various
items of which, at this season of the
year, country newspapers abound. The
burden of heavy reading, incidental to a
political campaign is over. A variety of
subjects of general interest will now take
its place. Tlio perusal of these by the
youug is desirable, for the information
acquired, besides this it is one of the best
methods of inJueing the young to learn
to read well. No family should be with
out a county paper, for the use of its
youuger memtiers, to say nothing of its
necessity to the more advanced, in a busi
ness point of view. In view of these
considerations, we would solicit the con
tinued influence of our friends, for the
purpose of extending our circulation.
The circulation of the CITIZEN is to-day
larger than any paper ever published in
the couuty; still its circulation could be
much increased .ve flatter ourselvet—to
the mutual advantage of all concerned.
Will each reader of the CITIZEN make an
effort to send us a new name, t This, while
it would be doing us a good service, we
would fain hope, would be equally ad
vantageous to the reader, and the cause of
truth, in the advocacy of which we pre
sume to labor.
HOT While the people feel quite con
tent that the next Congress will staud
numerically about as the present, it is
worthy of remark that, in many particu
lars, it will stand much in its advance.
In the first place there were in the pres
ent Senate and House, quite a number
who were elected by Republican votes,
who were what was styled Conservatives
or Administration men. They were al
ways present to annoy us and disturb our
harmony in caucus, and were generally
found within voting with the Democracy
or skulking when important measures
were being passed upon, in their respec
tive bodic?. All this class has been laid
on the shelf,toannoy us "no more for ever.'
Again, the reconstruction question had
never been submitted squarely to the
people; that has now been done, aud their
verdict squarely recorded. There need,
therefore, be no groping the way in the
futuro. All that the Fortieth Congress
will have to do, will be to move straight
forward in obedience to the popular vcr
diet, thus emphatically rendered. It will
also be instructive to our present Con
gress, in its next session,now soon to con
vene. Upon the whole there has been
a great deal accomplished by the late
elections, besides holding our own against
executive encroachments; w; have
made a grand advance of which, we trust,
our public servants will take uotice.
Uff" Our neighbor of the Gazette was
mistaken in supposing that, in speaking
of two instances in which the majority
party was defeated in the choice of a U.
S. Senator, we had reference to the ses
sions of '55 and 'O3 respectively. We
referred to the two instances in which
Gen. Cameron ypa* elected to the Senate.
We referred to the result of the caucusing
in '55 and '63, as we avowed, simply to
sec il from these examples we wero war
ranted in assuming that our present mode
of choosing Senators approached so near
perfection that it could not bo improved
by the party with its present light and
kuowledge. As to correcting our history
of the election of '54, we don't find much
to correct. We had no kuowledge of
three sets of candidates being before the
people that fall; and although wo have
no point to make by insistiug that the
Whig ticket succeeded, yet we think it
was so understood. We speak from mem
orv only, yet we foci s»fe in saying that
the Gazette is in error, in assuming that
Gen. Cameron fuiled of an election
because his party, that is the party whose
nominee he claimed to be, had not votes
enough to elect. We feel safg in saying
that any who will take the trouble of re
ferring te the protest signed by a large
number of members—perhaps from twen
ty-five to thirty—will there learn that
these members did not excuse themselves
from supporting him upon the ground
that he was the nominee of a party to
which they did not beloug ! Fur other
wife. Why should they be expected to
offer any apology, or assign any reason
for pqt voting for the nominee of a party
to«which they owed no allegiance ? Sjpch
was not the case. Rut on the oontrary,
they opposed his election on the ground
that he was a political adventurer, and
had procured his nomination unduly We
gave a brief account of the action of
that caucus in our last, and it stands un
contradicted. We hope to be spared the j
necessity of ever chronicling a similar
farce, at least so long as the Republican i
party holds sway. J
As lias bceu seen, Mr. Johusnn, by
Proclamation, set upart the 2'Jtli iust,
us a day of "National thanksgiving. We
suppose, at the time of the promulgation
of this Executive request, the President
still hoped to be able to feel thankful for
the indorsement of ';My Dplicy" by the
people. This pleasure has been takeu
away by the unruly people,by "Northern
rebels." While, therefore, the Presi
dent may to at somewhat of a loss to
know what to be thankful for, the loyal
people of the Nation have much for
which they can give thanks. First, they
can g re thanks that we a o still a uni
ted and free people; that wo are uncons
quered at-d ino •nquera'jle; tlia', ly the
largest popular vote ever given the people
have renewed thoir pledges to their God
and each other, that civil liberty shall
be maintained in this land over all oppo
sition, either at home or abroad. Besides
this we should be thankful that prejudi
ces of cast are giving way; that, under
the soothing influences a progressive civ
i'izat on, benevolence and religious im
pulses are being developed. Learning
and Religion advanced; the head and
heart of the nation enl'ghtencd, where*
by the whole hutuat) family will ultimate
ly be benefitted, the downtrodden reliev
ed and universal liberty secured on the
whole earth.
Besides this wo can be grateful for the
abundance which the harvest has furnish
ed for the wants of all. The country
is full of provisions, for man and beast.
The necessities, indeed we might say the
comforts of life are within the reach of
all: labor being in good demand and
well rewarded. Let there, therefore, be
a strict observance of this day which has
also been set apart by the Governor of
our own State. Let worship be had in
all the churches, and in every proper way
let the peiple manifest their gratitude
to the Giver of all gSod for His many
and various mercies bestowed upon the
children of men.
—The Norfolk (,Ya.) Oltf Dominion,
has the following:
"Southern ladies do not talk to any
thing like the same extent as in forpier
years. What does it mean ? Are we
wrong in classing this phenomenon among
the signs of the times t We believe it
is the resu't of a mysterious solemnity
that has in the last fpw years of trial and
mighty events crept over the world.—*
Levity is not as wide spread. Men and
women look now more in earnest, and
work harder, do more towards carrying
out the end of their being We may be
wrong, but such are our convictions in
sp : ieq. the wickedness abroad in the land."
Communication.*.
For the Ciiiztn.
MR. FDITOR : —ln reading over the
advertisements in your paper, I notice
one by the Directors of Butler Borough,
offering for sale the "Square of ground,
fronting on North st, having thereouercc
ted a twosstory brick building now used
for school purposes," and inviting sealed
proposals until the first of December
next; possession to be given on the first
day of April next.
From this, it will be seen that said Dir
rectors have determined to sell- sqid
schooLhouse and lot, and as far as the
citizens of the Borough are informed,
this sale is to be a private one, trade upon
"sealed proposals." Are there private
parties who desire to purchase this prop*
erty below its real value ? Or do our
worthy Direcsors believe that they can
procure more for said property by accepts
ing sealed proposals than selling the same
at public outcry ? No doubt our Board of
directors are fully competent and well
qualified to discharge all their duties,
and we do not desire to be understood as
even intimating that they intend to do
otherwise; but we may be permitted to
say, that we are of the opinion, that the
property which they propose to sell, should
be disposed of at Public outcry, and sold
to the best and highest bidder, whether
the same be upon a scale 1 proposal or at
a public bid.
Another important inquiry arises here
based upon the proposed sale, and is as
follows : Do the Directors intend that
we shall be without schools during tfie
summer of 1807 1 If not, where are the
schools to be kept ? It is also, of some
importance to the citizens of the Borough
to know whether the directors intend
putting up a large and substantial build
ing the coming summer for school pur
poses, and where tho same is to be buijt ?
It will be admitted by all that agood and
ojniu odious bulding for our public schools
is very much needed; but when we take
into consideration the fact labor of
all kinds and especially mechanical labor
is extremely high, and that materials of
all kinds necessary tor building purposes
are proportionality high with that of labor,
it becomes a question of considerable im
portance to the tar payers of the Bor
ough who will have to foot tho bill; whe
ther it is expedient at present to under
take so large a contract. All are interested
in this matter, and whatever is done,
should be done uaderUandingly, satisfac
torily and as unanimously as possible, so
that when action is taken, all may be
prepared to aat together, that everything
may move along smoothly. Will the di
rectors enlighten the tax payers of the
Borough on these matters ?
A CITIZEN,
The law ol" (Uc
Succession.
The talk of tho impeachment of the
Vice President, acting as President of
the United States, starts the question:—
Who would succeed Mr. Johusou, if he
were removed by death or impeachment?
We answer in this I'ornl letters of iu
quirv on this subject:
The Constitution of United States
says that Congress uiay, by law, provide
for the removal by death, resignation or
inability of the President aud Vice Pres
ident, declaring what officer shall theu
act accordingly until the disability bj
removeJ or a President elected.
March 1, 17'J-, Congress passed qu
act to provide for every easo of a vacancy
both of the offices of President and Vice
President. In Story's Commentaries
there is a suggestion of the possible un
constitutionality of the act but there
seems to be little doubt that it will stand
the test.
As is generally known the law provides
that the Presideut pi'o tempore of the
Senate shall succeed the
Viee President, aud if there is no Presi
dent of ihe Seuate, tha Speaker ol the
House shall act as Prosideut.
In the present case, the Hon. Lafayette
Foster, of Connecticut, is President pro
tempore of the Seuate, aud woubi sue'
ceed Andrew Johusou in case ol hisdeath.
If Jt husou aud Foster were both or
disabled, the lion. Schuyler Colfax would
act as Presideut.
Hut it happens that on the 4th oi
March next, the term of the Hon. La fay
ette Foster in the Sanate expires, so that
it will be necessary for the Seuate, this
winter, to elect a President pro tempore.
The term for which Mr. Coilax is elected
Speaker also expires with the Thirty
Minth Congress, uu the 4th of March.
It has bceu customar when the Sen
reorganizes for the Vice l'resideut to
absent himself temporarily, that there
may bo un electiou of a l'resideut pro
tempore of that body. On the 7th of
March, 1865, the clerk of the Senate,
Col. J. W. Forney, callgd the Senate to
order, announced by authority tke ah
scnceof Andrew Johnson, the Vice
ideut; and the lion. Lafayette Foster vnix
elected President pro leniuore.
If it should happen that the Senate
neglected to elect a President pro tempore
until the 4th of March, when Mr. Fos
ter's term expires, that body would be
without a uresiding officer, and Mr. Col
fax's term having also expired, the pro
cess of securing a successor to Andrew
Johnson, it ho should die or be disabled
at that juncture, would become a very,
delicate one.
But we presume the Senate will pro
vide against the possibility of such a
chance for disorder, by the resignation cf
Mr, Foster some days before the expira
tion of his term, when some Senator will
be elected President pro tempore whore
pitnent term of service, whether re elected
or not, will notexpireou the 4th of March.
This will securo the continuity.
The question is, however, how long
would the President pro tempore act as
President if the Vice President, now act
iug is President, should die or be
lemoved. The law is [Sections 10 of the
Act of March 1, 17'J:2, vol. 1. U. S. Stat
utes at large; page 'J4OJ :
'•And be it further enacted, that when
ever tke office of l'resideut and Vice
President shall both become vacant, the
Secretary of State shall forthwith cause
a notification thereof to be made to the
Kxecutivo of every State, and shall alsq
cause the same to be published in at least
ono of the newspapers published in each
S ate, specifying that the electors of the
President of the Uuitid States shall be
appointed or chosen in the several Sta:cs
within thirty four tings preceding the lat
Wednesday/ in December then next ensu
ing ; provided there shall be the space of
two mouths between the date of such
notification and the first Wednesday in
December, and if the term for which the
President and Vice President last in of
fice were elected shall uot txpirc on the
third day o( March, next ensuing, then
the Secretary of State shall speei yin
the notifications, that the electors shall
be appointed or chosen within thirty
four days preceding the first Wednesday
in December in the year n xt ensuiug,
within which time the electors shall ac
cordingly bo appointed or chosen; and
the elector? shall meet and give their
votes on the first said \\ educsday in
December."
After the meeting of Coqgrpss there
cannot be the thirtjjfour days that the
law provides before the first Wednesday
in December, and the impeachment and
deposition of tho President would require
a good deal of time. Therefore, if the
President is impeached and removed from
the office this winter, his successor for tho
unexpired term would not be elected
earlier than in December, 1807. And if
Senator Wade, who has two years of his
present term to serve after she 4th of
.March next, should be elected to succeed
Foster as President pro tempore , and the
President should be impeached and re
moved, or die, Wade would serve as Pres
ident until the first Wednesday in De
cember, 1867.
Congress is, however, competent to
change the law of 17'J2, and provide for
a more speedy means of filling a vacancy
in the Presiilential office, hut it is not
probable any change will be made, for it
is unlikely Senators would object to hav
ing one of their number, 'elected by
themselves,to fill the Presidential office for
nearly a year, as woald be the case if the
law were unchanged and Mr. Johnson
should be deposed early in the coming
session.— Exchange.
METEORIC SHOWER IN CHICAGO.—
Chicago is bound to be ahead. Ou Mon
day they had a meteoric shower there ;
there was none —so far as heard from—
anywhere else. Professor Safford, of the
Chicago Univers ty, was assisted in no
ting the phenomenon by some sixty stu
dents, who were divided into two reliefs
each relief doing duty two hours. The
meteors appeared to come mostly from
tho constellation Leo, and to move in a
nearly horizontal direction. t'lougU ma
ny fell obliquely and perpendicularly.and
the direction varied as the constellation
changed its robition.

"Give me a place to rest my lever on,"
says Archimedes, "nnd I will move the
world." '-(jive mo pure and unadulter
ated drugs," fays Medieus, of the oideu
tiuies "and I will cure disease."
In one sense, both of those learned
pundits were the veriest charlatans.—
They knew there was no place to rest
their lever on, either to move tlio world
or cure disease. Mechanism was in a
backward state, and '.he medical profess
ion was but another name for sorcery an
M the adjuncts of magio liltors and
charms of the "evil eye," &o.
But these latter days have borne uuto
us something more than even superstition
and its croweverdrsnmt ofin theirrnadest
philosophy. In theso days of practical
science, what was theory Af yesterday
as fact today, and all ihc old time notions
become as bubbles in the sun, and burst
and break with every breath wo draw.
Let Archimedes shoulder his lever and
wo will find a resting for it to move the
world. Let mine ancient Medieus pant
aud toil no more for the drugs he so sorely
needs, for we have them at our lund,
ever ready to serve them at his beck.
llefiued in the labratory of I)r. Mag
giel, the finest matenels known 'iu the
medical profession are obtainable, by any
one. His Billious, Dyspeptic, and Diar
rhea I'ills stand unrivalled, and his Salve
operates with magical effect upon burns,
scalds, and ail sores and ulcers of the
skin.
ID f.ict, we lltiuk MAOOIEL'S I'ills and
Salve are the wuuJcr ol this ceiitiiry, aiid
we arc happy in the that, many
otlier* qf our brethren of the cralt ee
with us. We wouid earnestly cuuiiml
that all families provide themselves with
Dr. Mapgicl's l'teparntious at once, and
keep the in ready at hand, so as to use
them at the ' most opportune time

I'ARTIKS IN CONIIRKSS. —The New
York '"Herald" dispatch says: There
arc parties in this who ure neither
radicals nor conservatives, who ara close
ly watching the course of events procee
ding the meeting of Congress. These
say, th t \vhen Congress i)ieels
and the radicals view tho situation they
will not, ns Doily, support the move
ment of an attempt to imppacli the l'res
iilent; that there will be three parties in
C<mgrcss on tliir, question—the out and
out radicals, the radically democratic and
tho moderates—and that the latter party
vjrill be able to manage tho other two.—
Theso gentlemen are ol opinion that
there will be no necessity for impeach
ment. What they me in by this may be
more than the mere words express.
NOT GOOD Pur.iny. —An effort is be
ing made in Hngland by a Captain Hcd
ford I'yui, to obtain aid from tho Gov
ernment there toward a plan for opening
up a route to the Pacific through Nicar*
aiiua -Lieutenant" Maury is on Pym's
committee. We would suggest, to spec
ulative operators on the other side of the
Atlantic, that a sure way to invoke the
hostility cf the United States to any of
their schemes, is to put forward, as prom
inent among thoir managers, unregencr!}-
te ex-rebels of the Maury stripe. It is
not a wioc policy.
NEW JERSEV U. 8. SENATOR. —New
Jersey has two Republican United States
Senators, (iovernor Ward having appoin-
F. T Frelingbuyscn to the vacancy oc
casioned by the death of William
Wright. Mr. F. is a man of excellent
ability, and has for six years filled the
t ffice of Attoruey Geueral of the State.
Within one year New Jersey his been
redeemed in every department and that,
too, in the face ofthe worst home Democ
racy to be found anywhere, and the ef
forts of Johnsonism to keep her in the
Copperhead nest.
—The New York papers announce the
breaking up of various speculating move
ments in the Decessaries of life in that
city. Pork has fallen four dollars a bars
rel, wheat from five to eight cents a bush
el. Buyers, it is report«d. even at these
reduced figures, are very scarce.
—The Prince of Wales has shot two
stags after they were driven to him by
the keepers. Blood will tpll.
—Gen W. B. Franklin has been bre%
vetted Major General in the regular ser
vice. '•
