Cul
! of
We congratulate Messrs. Pratt & De-
Wolfe, of the Corning Journal, upon
tboir removal to a building alipronalia
ble and convenient., They now may
be found in the stone building opposite
the Post Office, and on the first floor.—
They announce that they will add a
cylinder press and steam, next Spring.
That's right., Go on, prospering and
to prosper.
An esteemed friend sends to us the
following question, and asks a reply :
"Suppose the Legislature of Pennsyl
vania should pass,a law requiring the
Douay Bible to be read in the piblic
schools, what would you say ?"
Corning, N. Y
- This : That were the Legislature to
enact a statute requiring the Douay
version of - the Bible to be read in
schools, we should denounce the law as
oppressive and mischievous.
Also : Were the Legislature to enact
a statute requiring the Common ver
sion of the Scriptures to be read in pub
lin saeolmo/o, svo ohocsid d . 12 0, • Ir/ CPO. Lim
law as oppressive and mischievous.
Because—We deny the right of any
legislature , to command the reading of
any book in Schools. We recognize the
Bible as tte - foundation - authority foi
the faith of the Christian world, and
wel insist that the Book shall be F i nEk:
to all, in private and in public, and
always open. .11 any man far tli3 ef
fect of the doctrines of the New Testa
ment upon his children, he had better
send ilia children to China, or Japan, to .
be educated. We do object to denomi
national teaching in our schools.—
Hence we ask for a free Bible. '
- We last week chronicled the assassi
nation of Albert D. Richardson, a noted
author and journalist, together with
some account of the affair which led to
the sad result. We mentioned, also,
that Ward Beecher, assisted by Mr.
Frothingham, united the dying man
and Mrs. Sage McFarland, in the
bonds of marriage.
Since that noting, the religions and
secular journals in and around New
York and Philadelphia have torn
several fits of virtuous indignation to
tatters, both in attack and In defence or
the dead man and the two officiating
clergymen. The enemies of Mr. Beecher
improve, the opportunity to heap re
proachei upon him for marrying an
illegt‘lly divorced woman. Mr. Beech
er, iu his calm, imperturbable way, as
serts that he acted in good faith, believ
ing the divorce to have been legally
procured. So the war goes on.
It may be that Mr. Beecher, like Mr.
Rich -
ardson, was not prudent. But is
a solitary imprudence in an emergency
likebthat, to subject a man to such vio
lent criticism ?
, It is not claimed that 'the relations
between the lady and the dead man
were, criminal; but imprudent only.—
Mrs. , McFarland, on \ all hands, is ad
mitted to be a pure woman. - Mr.,Rich
ardson ,was an uncommonly virtUous
man. We know this by (within -co
which we cannot doubt. He was a
man whose love of justice and fair Play
sometimes -led him to act rashly. But
who, knowing this, will blindly refuse
to see and admire the heroism which
constrained him to peril, and at last to
yield up, his life in defence of the wo
man in the,case? So ho married Inn,
to give her his name and a share of hl
property, thus testifying with his latest
breath - his devotion}
-,' For the assassin we have no sympa
thy. Ilad he bravely confronted his
victim, and shot him down while the
alleged . - wrong was fresh, there would
be some sort of excuse for him. \But
instead, this coward sneaks around for
two years, often Meeting his foe, and
finally approaches him from 'behind
and fires the fatal shot. - For the cow
ard who rights his wrongs only when
he can do so without danger of persanal
injury we havera thorough contempt.—
Ho belongs to tie class of knaves who
testify to their poltroonery by carrying
concealed weapons where, there is
nought but a guilty conscience to make
them afraid.

SPECIAL NOTICE TO PATRONS.
- COBBG VAN GELI)..IR
It shall not be - said that we have, a 8
charged below, always ii!..glected to }
convey the conclusions of Mr. Garvin, 1
of the Mercer Press, to our readers thro'
the medium 'of his reasoning. Ny..3-
have given l his conclusions alone, be
cause they' were so i frankly arrived at
and so boldly avowed. Disagreeing
radically, as we do, with him politi
cally, we have high respect for his can -j
dor and his intellect, and a warm admi
ration-of his sturdy indeitendence and
sterling honesty. In speaking of The
Agitator last Week he says :
q
" This Piper, on two or three occas
ions, bus spoke' kindly enough of us
when conveying to its readers the con
clusions arrived at in some of our ar
ticles on constitutional subjects. Be
longing to the party of Progress, as a
matter of course it prefers to state the
resujii arrived fit by our reasoning,
rather than to give the alrgument itself
and show wherein we err in facts or re
sort to false logic. The Agitator is by
no means singular in this, and we can
find no fault with Mr. Cobb's prudence
in the matter. It is much easier to
state an unpopular conclusion, than to
overthrow the argument that sustains
it. Sinne the great failure of Daniel
t
Webstein debate with Calhoun—both
ofwhose speeches may be found in the
first-,rot me of Steven's History of the
i-w
way ' e have never met on the part of
any pponent of the schoolof Jefferson
any expectable or decent effort by log
ical argument to convict that school of
error If there be any thing of that
kind we would be obliged to any per
son for the information that would en
able us to get hOld of it. . .
" We, notice' that the Agitator is ag
itating • the abolition of Grand Juries,
principally on the ground of economy
and incidentally on that of their utter
uselessness as well as liability to corrup
tion. We won't say that the editor's
experience in the war office has given
him a liking for summary proceedings
—he has too much brain for that, but
we fear not quite "enough to withhold
his_ hand from attacking any of the
bulliVarks of personal freedom. He be
longs to the- Party of Progress, that - in
its passage proposes to sweep into ob
livion ail the guards that were ever es
tablished to secure the liberty of the'
freeman. The Grand Jury gone, how
long will the Traverse Jury remain?—
Money might be saved in abolishing it,
and the next generation will be sure to
furnish an agitator that will not fail to
note and point out this fact. It might
follow, that a succeeding generation,
would conclude that the Judge also was
a relict of a semi-civilized age, and that
it would save money to dispense with
his services, substituting therefor the
cheap courts of Judge Lynch.
"We like and adtnire many things
in Mr. Cobb, but we 'don't like his
progressive notions—all of which (who
knows?) may be our misfortune rather
than his failure to comprehend the true
plan to benefit his country."
Evidently enough Southern chivalry
did not ,utterly expend itself in_ starv
ing and shooting unarmed Union pris
oners of war at Belle Isle, Salisbury,
and Andersonville. There is a• morsel
of it left, apart from what is retained
in the South and the editors of the
Easton Argus, and the Bradford Argus,
are doubtless in possession of the lion's
share of the " morsel." Having had
all their pluck knocked out of them by
the defeat of Packer, they now come
out of their shady dens and attack Mrs.
Lincoln upon a rumor of her marriage
with a German Count—which is very
probably only a rumor—they wax vali
ant, and hold the lady and the Count
up to terrible ridicule. However, as if
this might be dangerous, the su ejects
being still alive, thosla hold odikrei turn
upon Lincoln with true Porneick}mian
strikPs. n onto
business. Lincoln is ,dead, and prob
ably infinitely separated from that pit
where Democratic jokes and' ribaldry
are enjoyed. And it is not likely that
either 'of-the editors alluded to will ever
go high enough meet either Lincoln,
Mrs. Lincoln, or any other reputable
persons, in the world. While these
chivalric editors are cracking coarse
jokes over Mr. Lincoln's legs, hands,
and feet, the nations are paying hom
age to his qualities of head and heart—
qualities unknown to the ribald jokers.
There is, We believe, one boy ih his
early " teens," in the Lincoln house
hold; why not muster up spunk enough
to attack him because his father was
murdered by a Democrat? Like Booth,
these hyenas creep up behind: their
victims; but unlike Booth, and entire
ly like hyenas, they attack the dead,
knowing, by unerring instinct, that the
dead never strike back.
Mr. Dana, editor of the N. Y. Sun,
has, it is to be feared, more ability than
honor or ho'nesty. His praise of Grant
was fulsome before the latter became
President. Just what Mr. Dana want
ed nobody save himself, and,i possibly
Grant, knows. But it is evident that
whatever be wanted, he did not get it.
Hence these tears.
Mr.!bana &Lye that in one of his last
cowzrsations with Secretary Rawlids
before the death of the latter, the Gen.
said : "If things are to go on in this
t
Via it would be better to have elected
Ho atio Seymour." That Gen. Rawl
ins ; never said anytliing of the sort is
evident enough to those who know the
man, in• the light of his last words.—
The - mutual regard of Geii. Grant and
Gen. Rawlins was remarkable; and it
continued, without interruption, up to
the last breath of the latter. Mr. Da
na loses much by his vindictive display
of spite
The — contest for the Speakership of
the Assembly seems to be narrowed
down to two candidates—Jas. H. Webb,
of
,Bradford, and B. B. Strang, of Tioga.
We have nothing to say against Mr.
Webb; who is a capital fellow and
would make a fair 4Speaker. But after
the falling off of last winter Mr. Webb
can scarcely suffer his name to be used
against Mr. Strang. We don't see how
be can consent to be a candidate under
the circumstances, and the Reporter in
its last issue says that it does not know
that Mr. Webb will be a candidate.—
Mr. Strang's qualifications for the posi
tion are acknowledged to be superior to
those possessed by any other' candidates
and we know of no objection which
can be urged against him that cannot
as well be urged against Mr. Webb, or
any other man named, or to be named.
For nearly a year we have advertised
for the Xational Lifo Insurance Com
pany of Washington —unquestionably
a Company offering advantages to the
insured superior to those of any other
in the country. IL works under a char
ter granted by C'ongreSs, has a paid in
capital of a million dollars, insures at
low rates of premium, thus furnishing
larger insurance for equal payments.—
Every policy is non-forfeitable, and
vulleies may be taken which pay the
i i thoured the full amonnt an I return all
the premiums, making- th insurance
vest, only the interest l nn the annual
payments. This Cornpnbyidoes not ad
vertise to pay dividends to the insured,
but, insures at so low a rate that there
can be no dividends. It is managed by
such solid men as Jay Cooke, Clarence
Clark, E. A. Rollins, W. E. Chandler,
Henry D. Cooke, George Harding, Jl2O.
D. Defrees, and others. We do not
wonder that it has issued 7,040 polieles,
covering $19,253,400 insurance during
its first year of business.
The Company publishes a beautiful
quarto Monthly of 8 pages, on tinted
paper, for distribution through its sub
agencies. This paper is not an insur
ance journal however, but contains a
choice variety of general information.
The advantages of life insurance have
been so often presented to the public
that to add further argument appears
to be a work of supererogation. Take
a single fact : A person of 30 years by
paying an annual premium of $16,55,
can secure a policy in the National for
$lOOO. What young man cannot afford
to pay $16.55 per year out of his earn
ings? How many expend twig° that
sum for luxuries which go to shorten
life and swell the aggregate of human
misery. We have given only tin out
line of the advantages afforded by the
" National," and for full particulars re
fer to R. C. Simpson, Esq., iWellsboro,
who represents the Company in Tioga
county:
On the 27th of January last a Miss
Steinneeko, of Carlisle, died after an
illness of twenty-four hours. Her at
tending physician was aDr. Schoeppe,
who was her intended husband. She
Was 65 years old ; ho twenty-five. She
was worth $40,000 ; he was poor. Add
to this the fact that Dr. Schoeppe filed
a will for Kothite, within four days af
ter the deitfh- , 40f the lady, which will
gave all h i br fortune to the Doctor.—
Thus you hdve the case of Dr. Schoeppe,
now lying in Carlisle jail convicted of
the murder of Miss Steinnecke, and to
be hung on the 22d inst., unless re
prieved.
The relatives of the deceased lady re
garded the sudden demise, and the will
—dUtting them off, and giving prefer
ence to a comparative stranger—as sus
picious circumstances.. The peOple
took the same view of the matter; and
the Doctor was arraigned and tried,
and capitally convicted. The theory of
the prosecution was that the Doctor
poisoned the lady with prussic acid and
morphia. :The medical testimony, w
are convinced, does not prove the pois
oning. The friends of Schoeppe alfeg
that popular prejudice did for him 701 .
the testimony did not do— convicted
him of murder. The Governor was
memoralized and, besought to save the
accused. The Governor passed the
matter over to the Attorney General,
and the latter rendered' an opinion ad
verse to the relief of the Doctor.
Whereupon many journals—chiefly
Democratic—are abusing Governor
Geary. Yet the Governor has only
acted in accordance with the law and
practice. *Prior to the election every
t1......znatt0 journal was abusing the
Governor for pardoning criminals.—
They are now
will not pardon criminals. If this be
not exactly consistent, it is remarkably
partisan.
We know little of th 3 merits of the
case ; but so long as neither the Bench
DOT the jury recommend to mercy, how
can the Governor interpose? Hanging
is a poor use to put a man to, we admit.
And in oases where there is a doubt it
should go to save life, at the cost of lib
erty to the accused. There appears to
be a serious lack of direct circumstan
tial evidence against Dr. Sehoeppe.—
Chemical analysis did not sustain the
posion' theory. Still, there tire the
suspicious circumstances of the 1
dis
parity in a , tl,e sudden death, and
the will. T ese' afford a strong pre
sumption of his guilt, 'say. Yet the
law forbids any presumption of . the
sort until conviction. And still, again,
why arraign a man for a crime unless
there is a presumption of his guilt war
. ranted,? Possibly the lawyers may as
sist the uneducated mind to reconcile
this wonderful paradox with common
sense.
Unquestionably it is wrong to con
vict a man of crime . upon a strong pre
sumption. .At this distance, a stranger
to both parties, but in possession of the
three facts which are not denied, we
are inclined to believe Schoeppe guilty.
The motive is plain enough—cash,
without the encumbrance of an Old,
though estimable lady. But should a
man " hang,” on such facts? We
think not. Better commute the sen
tence td life imprisonment, and so es
cape the possible danger of hanging an
innocent man, and at the same time
protect society against possible danger
of further operations at the Doctor's
hands, if he be guilty. There is.time
to reprieve and commute, and we hope
the Governor will do both if it be with
in his prerogative.

I. pared to meet the urgent need
.f.— cafe and -reliable cora for
diseases of the throat and lungs.
A tr al of many years has established the fact, that it
is more efficacious in pulmonary affection'', than any
other remedy. Its efficacy has now become so gen
erally known, that It is Justly regarded in many nun
tries as amediolne ofindispensable necessity. In Great
Britain. Branco, and Germany, where medical science
has reached its highest perfection, it is prescribed in
domestic practice, and oorditkutly need In the armies in
hospitals and other public titutious, where it is re
garded by the attending physicians as the most speedy
and agreeable remedy that can be employed. Scarcely
any neighborhood can be found where well known
cases of diseased lungs, which had baffled the efforts of
the moat skillful and experienced doctors have been
completely cured by it. These results are the most
convincing proofs of the superior curative provertles of
this preparation; and to them the authors point ,with
peculiar satisfaction. While it is most powerful against
confirmed diseases, it is extremely gentle ae.a medicine
in infamy and youth, being quite harmless to even the
youngest, when administered Judiciously. I .
This health restorer accomplishes even more by
--pre
vention than cure. If taken in season, it heals all WI.
tattoos o f the throat and lungs, wbuthcr arising from
Colds or Coughs, or from other causes, and thus pre
vent that long train of painful and Incurable diseases,
which would arise from the neglect of tin m. hence
no family should be without it. Influenza Croup,
lloarseness,Whooping Cough, Pleurisy, Incipient Con
sumption. and other affections of the breathing organs,
give way before the pro-eminent combination of medi
cal virtues. -
