election for Senator to fill a
vacancy in the Fifth Wisconsin District,
on the 13th ult., Hon. H. L. Palmer,
Democrat, was elected by a majority of
about or,e thousand. The city of Milwan
koo, which gave only 4-31 Democratic ma
jority last fall, increased that majority to
800. The result may be taken as a sure
criteriau of what the Democracy will do
on a large scale in future elections.
The Senate has refused to confirm
Ralph 1. Little, as Assessor of the 12th
Di-trict. and A. C. liu-sel, as Post Master
at Danville, and Colonel Allen M'Kean, as
Postmaster at Towanda. It has also re
jected General Slocum. late commander
of the 12th Corp-, for the position of Na
val Officer of .V-w York. General Frank
Flair, another gallant soldier, nominated as
minister to Austria, has also been rejected
by tlu se gallant stay-at home patriots.—

The National Smelling Committee.
ITe certainly do not pretend to set-forth
the scorn which must have been felt by ev
ery self respecting American citizen on
reading of the investigation just made by a
committee ot Congress into the private
banking account of I'resident Johnson, savs
the N. limes. A meaner or more piti
ful insult it would be impossible to con
ceive, or one more fit to come in at the
end of the paltry assaults which have been
made by Congress upon the Executive.
lobe impeached for high crimes and mis
demeanors' may not be the most agreeable
things in the world, but it is honorable com
pared with being compelled to submit to
sucii inquisitions as this. We suppose
the Judiciary Committee will give to the
country toe result of their researches into
Mr. Johnsons account, and furnish us the
date and amount f deposits, with the mag
nitude of the drafts. 'lt would he as well,
ett'T CHI n ing matters thus far, to prose
cute the investigation still further, and as
certain how the President came bv each
bundled do]hirs put to his credit—how
much he saved of his salarv, how much
accrued from his property, how much he
made by investments, and so forth. It
would be better the work should be done
thoroughly if done at all. But still wc do
not believe that the American people,
whatever they may think of the President's
policy, will regard with patience such petty
exhibitions of partisan malice.
Jefferson Davis.
The President has recently been urged
bv Congres-men of th Republican persua
sion and other influential citizens, to re lease
Jeff, Davis from imprisonment upon* hail
or upon his own recognizance, inasmuch as
there is now less probability than hereto
fore that Chief-Justice Chase can bo in
duced to preside at a session of the United
States Circuit Court in Virginia within a
reasonable time. Judge Chase has here
tofore refused to hold Court in the District
iu which Davis must be tried, upon the
ground that it would not be in keeping
with the d gnity of a Judge of the Supreme
Court to preside in a District in which the
civil authority was not fully restored, and
where the military arm of the Government
is required to sustain the law and direct
and control the action of the citizens. He
has said repeatedly that not until the civil
authority shall he acknowledged and estab
lished beyond cavil, will lit take his scat
upon the bench. In view of all the cir
cumstances the President is asked to re
lease Mr. Davis from confinement on bail
or on b>s own recognizance, and ihere is
good reason for saying that, within the
next week or two, Mr. Dav s will be dis
charged from custody upon his own recog
nizance to answer the charges that may be
brought against him.—A T . Y. Times.

Th New Jury Law.

Protection—How it Worlw,
"Protect nfe," 1s the imploring cry of a
comfortable, well-fed, well-clad personage
whom, at first sight, one would hardly take
for a beggar. "Protect me! I own but
ton thousand acres of land in the world. It
is my all. *lt is full of coal; but the Eng
lishman and Nova Scotians have got coal
too, and they offer to sell it cheaper than
the price I want. Shi.t out this foreign
coal and protect me, an American laborer."
lie looks even less like a laborer than a
beggar.
" What makes coal so dear when the
weather is so dreadful cold ? God help us
poor!" came from the chattering teeth of
a toil-worn, care-worn, shivering woman,
as she measured with stingy eye a scanty
fresh supply of fuel to her waning fire. No
cry from her to Government for protection.
No protection to her from the greed of the
strong, the cunning, the avaricious. ' Work
for yourself. Work or starve. Self-help.
Every one for himself. If Government
gave bread or clothes or fuel to the poor,
it would demoralize them. Take better
care of the pennies you earn. Lay them
up in the summer for a winter day." Such
are the answers she would ge if she asked
for protection—if she turned beggar. No
chance for her to put in a replication. The
voices of the coal-ownm are mighty to
drown hers. If she could be heard, she
would say, "lluw can I lay up my pennies
when the strong aim of Government takes
them from me, day by day, as fast as I can
earn them, and hands them over to niv
richer neighbors? On every spool of
thread I buy, Government takes from me a
penny or two to pay over to the Woon
socket Factory Company, so that they make
dear thread antf big dividend. On every
garment 1 wear, it takes pennies and shil
lings from me wherewith to till the purses
of the rich men who make clotli and stock
ings and shawls, and who cannot be con
tent with less ttian fifty or a hundred per
cent, increase of their wealth every year
to pav them for making their clothes for
the American laborer. When I buy a stove
or a pair of scissors, I must pay some of my
hard earned pennies to support the wealthy
iron-maker of Pennsylvania. I beg no
protection to my labor and I ask none. —
Let us both alone —mo ami the manufac
turer As you let me work my humble
way along as best I can, leave him to d<*-
the same. Give him no part of my earn
ings, and lam content witli my little share
of this world's goods." If it demoralizes
society for Government to give the poor
food and clothes and fuel, ii it not equally
demoralizing for Government to give to the
rich and the strong? And when it gives
to the rich by taking from the comforts of
♦ lie poor, is it not demoralizing society at
both ends?
♦'Mother, do give rae another blanket, I
am so cold," begs a shivering child, of a
winter's right on our Northern frontier.—
" I have no more, child ; blankets are o
dear. John, what mak'-s woolen things so
much dearer than they used to be?"
"I don't kuow but they say it's all done
to protect us poor folks. A tonguoy man
told us the other night the other night the
Government must protect us from the
blanket-makers in England and other for
eign countries."
"les, but John, over in Canada they
have nothing but English blankets, and
you can buy t*o there for what one costs
here. The English blanket makers don't
seem to be so liaid on the puor people after
all."
"Well, I ran't tell the story exactly ; hut
the tonguey man made it out clear. I think
he said, too, that wool wouldn't gro von
our sheep unless they was purtected.'
"Well, John, you dor.'t mean that the}'
kiver our American sheep with blankets to
make their wool grow, and that's the reason
blankets are so scarce and dear?"
" Well, I don't know about that; but he
made out that the sheep mn-t he purtect
ed to get the wool, and then the men who
made the wool into blankets must be pur
tected ; else we'd have to use the cheap
foreign blankets, and then he said we'd be
worse off."
"John, don't you think the tonguey man
was pulling some wool over your eves? If
I could get two blankets instead of one to
keep the children warm, the sheep could
do well chough with their natural kivering.
It seems to me that we poor folks, what
don't have natural kiver of wool growing
on onr backs, want purtection more than
the sheep."
"Well, that's just what Deacon Weldoff
savs; he says these prices purtect us as
well as the sheep, and you know the
Deacon subscribes a good deal of money
to the poor.
"That's all true, John; but then the
Dpacon don't seem to get any poorer for
all he gives away; and the Deacon has
got a great manv sheep of his own ; and
whatever is'good for his sheep must be good
for the Deacon's own pocket; ar.d they do
say that he owns part of a big blanket fac
tory down in Rhode Island ; and so, may
be, the Deacon wrongs ns poor folks out of
ten dollars and then gives us back one
dollar of it in charity ; maybe, if the poor
cheap blankets and cheap clothes, they
wouldn't want any charity. You can't
make me believe we're any better off for
having only one blanket when, if they were
cheaper, we might have two."

THE ENGLISH H.—There used to be a
good English clergyman connected with
the Providence Conference who had a car
pet-bag marked with the single initial L.
On one occasion in these times the annual
conference finished its business and reached
the final adjournment in the afternoon, but
a few minutes before the hour when the
members were to leave town- Many of
them anticipating such a state of things,had
tak°n their baggags to the church where
the sessions were held, and as soon as the
benediction was pronounced there was a
rush for the pile of valines and bags in the

Letter From Ex-President Buchanan.
In reply to an invitation from a large
number of prominent Democrats of Phila
delphia and clsewlu re throughout the State,
tendering a public dinner to ex-President
Buchanan, that distinguished gentleman
has written the follow ing dignified and pa
triotic letter, declining the proffered testi
monial ;
WHEATLAND, 23d March, 18G7.
GENTLEMEN : —I Lave received, with
grateful emotions,your very kind invitation
to a public dinner you propose to give me.
in the city of Philadelphia, on any day I
may indicate. Nothing, I can assure you,
could afford me greater pleasure than to
meet you around the festive board, and
with you renew the pleasant memories of
long past years,
I deny myself the gratification, only in
deference to what I consider the wise ex
ample of my democratic predecessors in the
office of President. After having admin
istered the most exalted office which the
country could bestow, they deemed it ex
pedient to remain in the retirement of pri
vate life ; and whilst holding their own
opinions on the political questions of the
day, they left the public disscussion of them
to gentlemen, like yourselves, still on the
busy theatre of active life.
If any other reason were required for
my self-denial on this occasion, 1 might re
fer you to my advanced age of which you
remind me, by stating that I am now the
last survivor of "American statesmen of
the olden time, the only living eotemporary
of Webster and Clay,and Benton and Cal
houn." In passing, permit me to say, you
might have justly added to these distin
guished names, that of Silas Wright. He
was a statesman, who, for sound practical
wisdom, for far-seeing sagacity, and for
lucid and convincing argument, had no su
perior in the Senate, even at the period
when it was the greatest deliberative body
in the world. You have my cor lial thanks
for your opinion "that no responsibility for
the years of blood and sorrow we have en
dured, rests on me, w ho tiiod, in a moment
of terrible exigency, to do my duty under
the Constitution." Proceeding as this
does, from a large number of my fellow
citizens, equal in intelligence, character and
patriotism, to any similar number of gentle
men in the State, may I not, with much
confidence, indulge the hope that you but
anticipate the general sentiment of future
times 1 Under this impression, and always
firmly relying on Divine Providence,l have
borne with a tranquil and contented spirit
all the harsh criticisms which have been
published on mv official conduct through
out the last unhappy years. Assuming,as
you do, "the immediate future of the coun
try to be full of peril," you ask me "for
words of counsel, of consolation, and, if
possible of hope - " Consistently with my
self-imposed reticence 1 may sav'to you :
exert all your power and influence in dis
seminating and enforcing its general prin
ciples,by means of the press, public speech
cs, private conversations, and in every oth
er honorable manner ; and employ the
same untiring energy in exposing and con
demning ever) departure from its precepts.
Never despair ; for the time will surely
come when these shall triumph and control
the administration of the government.
With sentiments of grateful icspect, 1
remain,
Your much obliged friend.

The members of the House of Represen
tatives at Harrisburg, on Thursday Inst, ac
tually voted themselves the snug little sum
of Si 350 a piece for the valuable (!) services
tliev have rendered the people the present
session. When we take into consideration
the small number of days they have been in
session and the mean service they have
rendered the people, this is about as near
stealing as well can be, without actually
breaking into the treasury. We are glad
to see the press, without distinction of party
aie severely condemning this outrage. The
Philadelphia Sunday Mercury , in ref.ring
to this matter says the action of the mem
bers of the Legislature ip increasing their
pay from SI,OOO to 1,350, cannot be too
severely condemned. Emanating from
those who should be the conservators of the
people's interests, this unwarratable appro
priation becomes the more outrageous. In
the days when Democracy was in the as
cendant, S3OO was considered a reasonable
amount for one hundred days' legislation.
Since Republicanism asserted its authority
the incursions upon the rights of the people
know no bounds. From s>7oo, it lias in
creased a member's salary to >l,3so,with a
probability of continuing in the same strain
until the people return to the "wisdom of
their fathers" by sending representative
men to make their laws.— Easton Sentinel.
Marriage.
Whatever faults Voltaire may have had,
he certainly showed himself a man of sense
when he said: "The more married men
you have, the fewer crimes there will be.
Marriage renders a man more virtuous and
more wise." An unmarried man is but
half of a perfect being, and it requires the
other half to make things right; and it
cannot be expected that in this imperfect
state he can keep the straight path of rec
titude any more than a boat with oue oar,
or a bird with one wing, can keep a straight
course. In nine cases out of ten, where
men become drunkards, or where they com
mit crimes against the peace of the com
munity, tie foundation of these acts was
laid while in a single state, or where the
wife is, as is sometimes the case, an un
suitable match. Marriage changes the
whole current of a man's feelings, and gives
him a centre for his thoughts, his affectioils
and his acts Ilere is a home for the en
tire man, and the counsel, the affections,
the example, and the interests of his "bet
ter half," keep him from erratic courses,
an I from falling into a thousand tempta
tions to which he would otherwise be ex
posed. Therefore the friend to marriage
is a friend to society and to bis country.
The origin of the portrait of the
goddess of liberty upon our coins is of
great inteiest. Mr. Spencer, the inventor
of Spencer's lathe, used by the American
bank note company, was the artist who
cut the first die for our American coin.—
He cut an exact medallion of Mrs. George
Washington, and the first few coins were
struck with her portrait. When general
Washington saw ihem he was displeased
and requested the figure to be removed. —
Mr. Spencer altered the features a little,
and putting a cap upon its head, called it
the goddess of liberty. Washington was
too modest to allow of man worship or ev
en woman worship. Yet now-a-days the
Spinner, Chases, and all the underlings of
the paper money, must stamp their impu
dent faces on the fraudulent coinage, It
is the age of progress.

may be useful to some of our readers : If people
planting orchards would give strict orders to maik
tl e north side of trees with red chalk before thev
are taken up and when set out to have the tree
put in the ground with its north sido to the north
side in its natural position, a large proportion would

great for that side of the tree to bear, and therefore
it dries up an l decays.

TEETH EXTRACTED WITHOUT Fill.
Nitrous Oxide or Laughing Gas— an innocent
an anasthetic, composed of the same elements (only
in different proportions) as the air we constantly
breathe—is extensively used in dentistry : lias had
years ot trial and is considered entirely safe and
harmless ; not like Clorotorua or Elbe: ; leaves no
unpleasant effects on the system ; gives complete
freedom from pain ; does not irritate sensitive teeth,
as the freezing process does. I have used the t,as
six months, satisfactorily. Come and get rid of de
cayed teeth which annoy you and are offensive and
i injure your health. No excuse tor longer suffering.
We "catch them napping." Wednesday and S "tar
day of each week will be devoted exclusively to the
extracting ot teeth. Gis will not be administered
on other days, unless a few hours' notice be given,
Dr. E. 11. Wells will assist in this d< pirtiuent.
