FOR MAJOR, MOSES M. BUTLER. Every regular attache of tho Press is furnished with a Card certificate countersigned by Stanley T. Pullen, Editor. All railway, steamboat and hotel managers will confer a favor upon us by demanding credentials of every person claiming to represent our journal. __ We do not read anonymous letters aud communi cations The name and address of the writer are In all ca-es indispensable, not necessarily for publication but as a guaranty of good faith. We caunot undertake to return or reserve commu nications that are not used. Tile Democracy repudiate Mr. Tilden as their candidate in 1880. There are too many 8s in that number and, besides, it cuds with the ominous cipher. The door to the future prosperity of the South is open, and the Southern leaders are passing in. They are determined that the electoral count shall go on without unneces sary delay. It is understood that objection will be made to swearing in of Senator-elect Harris of Tennessee on the ground of his having given allegiance to Mexico, and not having since been restored to citizenship in the United States. Several Democratic statesmen in Con g:sss a. -,i' ing unenv'able '’Cords for. themselves as filibusters. The man who tries to wriggle out of an agreement by fili bustermg is a fit supporter for the reformer who crawls out of three lawsuits in two months by pleading the statute oflimitations. Rumors of a coalition between the North ern Republicans and the more liberal South ern Democrats have reached the South, and are variously commented upon. The general sentiment appears to be favorable, provided the Southern States can be assured of local self government. Most of the journals are disposed however, to await further develop ments before giving support to the plan. The pope has written a letter to the bishop of Switzerland on the recent Old Catholic schism. He holds that there cannot be es tablished another altar nor a new piiesthood outside of the only altar and the only priest hood divinely constructed. He professes the most ardent desire for the return of these schismatics, and urges the Church to offer ceaseless frayers to God for his erring chil dren. v The Arbitration Tribunal had to decide be tween upholding the Louisiana bnlldozcrs or the Louisiana returning board. Seven cf the members voted steadily to uphold the bull dozers; eight ot the members voted with equal steadiness to support the canvass of the returning board. For so doing they are sav agely berated and abused by the ruffianly class of Democrats, who at the same time laud the course of the seven who stood by the ballot-box stuffers and bulldozers through thisk and thin. Nasby and his friends have met at Bascom Corners to consider the decision of the Judi cial Tribunal. The meet:ng resolved “that the ackshen uv the Republikin members uv the Commission—their stubborn refusals to vote with the Dimocrisy, and let Tilden and reform slip through, shakes our confidence in human nacher, and makes us tremble for the republic. The Corners with one voice pints the finger uv scorn at them, and withers them by declarin’ it hez no longer any confidence in them.” Six years of Democratic rule in Missouri have not produced any startling reforms. In several counties the population has actually decreased. The schools outside of St. Louis are generally inefficient,'and ignorance and outlawry prevail. To make matters worse, the Democratic Legislature proposes to abol ish the State Boards of Education and Immi gration. This is a sorry showing for Bour bon management. Missouri possesses vast and varied resources, aud should long since have taken a front rank among her sister states. Her vigorous and intelligent neigh bor on the north, Republican Iowa, has left Missouri far in the rear. The Turks have a strange idea of humor On Christmas day, a Turkish gendarime, en raged with the Christian Mayor of the village of Brankortsi, Bulgaria, gave him a severe beating, saddled and bridled him, and com pelled the poor wretch to carry him up and down the street. He finally drove him to the villagd inn and throwing the reins to the hostler ordered him to walk the horse up and down. The landlord ventured to interfere, but was knocked down for his pains. The soldier then ordered hay to be fed to his steed, and the municipal Nebuchadnezzar had to swallow it. The Turkish officers con sidered this a most excellent joke. A plan for the completion of the electoral count in tho Senate chamber by the Senate, in tho event of an attempt to defeat the count by filibustering in the House, has been dis cussed fully, and it will surely be executed if the necessity arises. It is claimed that it would carry out the very spirit of the electoral law, and for this reason the act says that the imtnc n „4~ »-f-- -1, 41 contesting certificates shall be counted, unless beth houses agree to reject. 01 course if the Senate voted to count the remaining certifi cates, the question would really he settled, and they would have to be counted, whether the House voted for or against them. St. Louis has a color doctor, and notch kiss is his name. The color cure is based on the propagation of electro-magnetic currents. The human system absorbs the solar rays in different proportions, and when they are properly balanced so as to cause an equilibri um of temperament there is perfect health. Every human being has its characteristic col or, to the influence of which it is peculiarly susceptible. When a man is sick he has either too much or too little of bis own color. The color doctor has only to find out what the color is and whether there is a surplus or a deficiency ot it, and then, when the diag nosis is completed, to restore through electro magnetism the chromatic equilibrium. Already the practical settlement of the Presidential question is attended by indica tions of a serious break in the hitherto solid ranks of the Democracy—solid no longer, now that the cohesion is lacking which the anticipation ot offices and spoils proverbially secures. Mr. Le Moyne, of Illinois, n his speech in the House last Saturday, plainly foreshadowed the coming revolt against the domination that New York has exercised; and the Sunday Herald, a Washington paper that has heretofore been an ardent supporter of Mr. Tilden, comes out squarely against the proposition of “Tilden for 1880,” and in an editorial article, so pointed and so true that it might have been printed in a Republican journal, declaring that the Tilden campaign had its inception and its progress in the lav ish expenditure of money—the nomination being purchased outright, and the campaign conducted upon the promise and expectation ot unstinted supplies from “the barrel.” Now that there is no longer anything to be gained by bolstering up the pretensious of the bogus Reformer, more of this sort of open confes sion will be heard from Democratic speakers and editors. Thebe is some talk—rather late ia the day, considering that Ilindostan has been virtually in the hands of the British since the time of Clive, over one hundred and twenty years ago, of bringing the under ground wealth of India to light. In ancient days, and even at present, that vast country abounds in gold and gems. The diamonds can be accounted for es brought from the mines of Golconda, but whence the yield of gold is now unknown, though it must have been great at one time, before navigation conveyed it from realm to realm. India, in shor^ has always been regarded as an El Dorado whence illimitable treasures were supplied. It has been known for a long time, though hitherto not acted upon, that India is largely underlaid by coal-fields —probably by iron ore, also, seeing that coal and iron are frequently iound near each other. The whole surface ot the land geologists and practical miners declare, con ceals wonderful potentialities of future pros perity. Troperly opened up, the coal-fields of India may be able to supply, not only the wants of Us own people, but a great portion of the steam-traffic with Europe. Now that the Hindoos, assisted by capital, are working up their owu cotton,so as to supersede the in ferior textiles hitherto supplied by the manu facturers of Manchester, Glasgow, and other British industrial districts, a large supply of native coal, at a reasonable price, must so di minish the cost of prodnction that, ere long, cottons woven in the United Kingdom will be undersold, not in India alone, but throughout the Asiatic Continent in general, by cheaper and superior goods. India, to speak plainly, has had enough, and more than enough, of •uaucucsier manufactures suueneu witu Hour and wate' so as to give the appearance of substantial materials. During the present year attempts will be made in various parts of India, where science practically applied has ascertained that coal Is to be found, to open that new source of national wealth, that great aid to industry and enterprise, 'hat uni versal benefit-bestower. Philosophically re garded, a good coal mine is of more advant age to a people than a rich gold field. Indi rectly, a large and low-priced supply of coal in India would serve our own trade, by di minishing the cost of long voyages, and re lieving our national as well as our mercantile marine from the necessity of taking large supplies of fuel into the Pacific and other great waters. Men and Women, Miss Dndu Fletcher, the writer ot Kismet, is a young lady still ia her twenties, very sparkling in her talk, pretty, and thoroughly accomplished in several languages. Mrs, Jeannie C. Carr, depaty superintendent of public instruction in California, is making a reputation for herself by her active exertions in the county institutes and other educational affairs. President Eliot of Harvard College is in favor of taxing the parents of children who go to high schools to pay a certain proportion of the Cost of maintaining them. He would have grammar schools lot the poor, and open the high schools to all who could not afford to pay, but ho would impose a tax of $40 or $50 a year upon the children of wealthy parents. The Saltan is the husband of one wife, and the Sultana Is credibly reported to be a Belgian, very pretty, very clever, and once a pupil of Ume. Elise. it is not the first time that a Western woman has held the Padishah in sway. The Sultan, who is somewhat of an in genuous youth, is .reported to have inquired of his wife if she had ever met Lady Salisbury. “She was not of my set,” was the reply. Mr. J. Raymond, it is reported, says that Mr. Clemens thought Col. Sellers a pathetic part, and wanted Mr. Lawrence Barrett to play it. This appears to be something like a joke. Mr. Raymond is also said to declare that the funni est thing in the feast of turnips to his immedi ate friends is the fact that he never eats vege tames; ne detests tnem as same people do cats.” Victor Hugo had something to do with the starling of the Kevne des Deux Mondes. He suggested to Buloz tbe purchase of a periodical of that name which had a feeble existence and tut 100 subscribers. It was then simply a re pository for travellers’ tales and tenth-rate geographical articles. Hugo wrote a paper for an early number of the new series, and re ceived 100 francs for it, Buloz remarking, ‘‘That’s a franc a subscriber.” Miss Emile Schaumberg, of Philadelphia, is tbe American belle in Paris at present. Mrs Hooper, who is blessed with a fair allowance of enthusiasm even for her generous nature, says the young lady was the most beautiful woman at President McMahon's ball. A grand dinner was given in her honor by a resident of tbe American colony. Thirty guests were present, and Mrs. Hooper never saw the like Palis be fore. Tbe following sympathetic story is told in tbe English papers of Mr Robert Lowe: ‘‘When on tbe continent, in the enjoyment of his long vacation, be and a friend in the coarse of a walk came across a man who appeared to be lying asleep on tbe ground. As they re turned they found the man In the same posi tion, and his companion going up to the body exclaimed, ‘Good God, the man is dead!’ Mr. Lowe coolly took his friend's arm, remarking, ‘Come along; custom of the country; no busi ness of ours.’ Hon. John Young Brown of Kentucky has a bright little boy, about ten years old, who Is now with him at Washington. He attended a matinee on his own hook at tbe National Theatre, the other day, and at a sud leu com motion in tbe audience he beard that tbe Pres dent had entered a box with his family. Bound to see all be could, ho went arouud to tbe President’s box, opened it and entered, ,announcing himself as John Young Brown, Jr., of Kentucky. The President received him cordially, introduced him to his family, and the youngster saw the rest of the performance from the august sanctuary of the private box. Once, when Mr. John McCulloch was play ing Prince of Morocco in the Merchant of Ven ice, his brother actors played a merry trick up on him. They prepared for the casket scene with 1’ortia a jack-in-tbe-box, so attached to the lid of the casket that when it was opened the grotesque thing would fly up The grace ful prince walked up to the table, bent over tbe box, turned tbe key, aud tbe next instant a patticularly ugly jtck w th a red woollen cap, bounced into tbe royal visage, and inflicted an agonizing blow upon the royal nose. The audience was rather more delighted than was Mr. McCnllougb. Scene—United States Supreme Court room, while Senator Howe was speaking on the Lou. isiana case. Mrs. Tyler, widow of President Tyler, who occupies a seat next to Mrs. Howe, says to a lady friend on her left: “O, my gra cious! wben will that tiresome old mao get through?'’ Mrs. Senator Howe (who is un known to Mrs. Tyler), sharply—“There is no law to compel people to remain if they don’t like it.” Lady friend of Mrs. Tyler (loud enough to be beard by Mrs. Howe)—“That lady evidently doesn’t know that she is speaking to the widow of President Tyler.” Mrs. Eugene Hale (who sat on the left of the last speaker and loud enough to be heard by Mrs. Tyler, to alady friend)—“And Mrs. Tyler probably is not aware that the lady on her right is the wife of Senator Howe.” Here the curtain fell. The Washington correspondent of the Cleve land Herald tells the story of Charles O’Conor’s wooing in the following interesting paragraph: The young and beautiful widow of Commodore McCracken of our navy returned from abroad after her husband’s death, and finding ber financial affairs in a complicated state, went to Mr. O'Conor to get bis legal advice in disen tangling them. Mr. O'Conor, upon examina tion discovered that the Commodore had died insolvent, and the beautiful widow was left to the cold mercies of a selfish world without a nenny to call her own. This he was obliged to break to her, whereupon she held up ber hands in piteous dismay, crying, "Oh! Mr. O'Conor, what shall I do? 1 who have lived in luxury all my life!” “Madam,” said the great lawyer, “the best advice I can give you is to marry me,” Wherenpou they were married. Ex-Gov. James Johusou of Virginia died Tuesday, aged 9?.

A Pcu-ricturc of the Cowinissioii. Mary Clemmer, in a letter from Washington to the Cincinnati Commercial, thus describes the Electoral Commission in sessiou: gold and azure of the incomparable day liltered in through the crevices of the curtains, to play hide and seek on the bald heads aud across the gray locks of the judges. They sat in a row without their gowns, and looked wider a wake than usual. The little pent-up gallery above their heads, where‘Dolly’ Madison, Mrs. .Livingston, Mrs. Adams and the belles of that day used to sit, was now well packed with knights of the press, looking, listening and ■writing despatches! Opposite the judges, on ■white brackets agaiDst the wall, were the busts of their distinguished predecesssors—Taney looking strange without his wrinkles; Chase, with little of his living beauty; John Jay by Frazee, and Oliver Ellsworth by Auger. Here is John Marshall, who was Chief Justice and fcieoretary of State at the same time, and all the rest of this Illustrious line. “The room is small, only seventy-five feet wide and forty-five feet high, a semi-circle, ■with white walls, gray pillars supporting the gallery, red curtains shading the windows be yond them, lighted from the roof. Its velvet carpet is of red and brown, its semi-circular seats lining the outer walls are of dark, rich mahogany. Within a railing are the seats and desks of the lawyers. On a raised dais beyond them, in a straight row, sit the justices. Di rectly before them this morning stood Evarts— slender, delicate, motionless, emitting a steady stream of loBg involved, splendid sentences. The judges sat intently gazing on this intel lectual wonder. Field took a calm, contempla tive view, through his large glasses. Bradley looked out either side of his very high nose, and neither eye could tell any tales on the other. Justice Clifford sat in the middle, big as Jove, but too lazy to launch a thundbolt. Justice Strong, with a white head, sharp features and foxy eyes, was fussing about in his chair, as if the argument were a bore. Justice Miller leaned back the image of serenity, placid as a May morning. Then there was Edmuuds, lookiug like a Jewish law-giver; and Frelinghuysen, meditat ing on his grandfather; and Morton, who has the most inconsequent nose ever; set as a vesti bule to so grand a head. It is like a classic tower with a barn door entrance. At the end sat Bayard, whose fine, strong head aud face honor his grandfather, and next him, Thur man, muffled to the ears in a cashmere scarf, worn with neuralgia and looking as if he has the mumps. At the opposite end sat Henry B. Payne, of Ohio, a classical looking gentle man; and Josiah G. Abbott of Boston, who looks like Hawthorne: and James A. Garfield, whose head and face certainly do not lack strength of outline, whatever else they may lack; and George F. Hoar, of Massachusetts, trim, clear cut and gray; and Eppa Huntou of Virginia, with a pug nose, coarse cast, uu tnutuiug cj co auu a uij^u ucau. Among the lawyers within the circle leaueil baok Stanley Matthews, looking like Brigham Youugjand as straight as a ramrod beside him sat up David Dudley Field, like a meditative and disappointed cat who had just missed his prey. There is something unmistakably feline in the cold, pale, half-shut eyes, and the half cruel face lines radiating from the long, hard shut mouth of this mau. In height and head he is not without majesty; but Nature, when she fashioned him, left out that final drop of divine sympathy which makes the height kin to the lowliest human want and tenderness,and instead, let the ichor of pride thin his blood and spoil his temperament.” BY TELEGRAPH.

Proceeding, in Joint Convention—Objec tion to the Commissioner.’ Decision. Washington, Feb. 28.—The Senate received this morning a communication from Justice Clifford transmitting the decision of the Elec toral Commission in the case of South Carolina. On motion of Mr. Cragin it was ordered that the House be notified that the Senate was ready to meet that body for the purpose of pro ceeding with the count. The Senate at 12.10 left the chamber for the hall of Representatives, where the Representa tives and Electoral Commission had already as sembled. The President of the Senate then directed the decision of the Commission to be read. The following is an outline of the grounds of the decision: It appears upon such evidence as by the Con stitution and the law is competent and perti nent to the consideration of the subject, that the Republican electors were lawfully appoint ed electors of President and Vice President of the United States for the term beginning March 4th, 1877, and that they voted as such at the time and in the manner provided by the Constitution of the United State, and the law: and the Commiasion are further of the opinion that the failure of the legislature to provide a system for the registration of persons entitled to vote, does not render nugatory all elections held under said laws, otherwise sufficient, though it may be the duty of the legislature to enact such a law. If it were otherwise, all the government in that state is a usurpation, its officers without authority, and the social com pact in that state is at an end. The Commis sion must take notice that there is a govern ment in South Carolina, Republican in form since its constitution provides for such a gov ernment, and it is, and was, on the day of the appointing of the electors, so recognized by the executive and both branches of the legislative department of the government of the United States. So far as the Commission can take no tice of the presence of soldiers of the United States in South Carolina during the election, it appears they were placed there by the United States to suppress insurrection, at the request of the proper authorities of the state; hut the Commission is also of the opiuion, that under the papers submitted, whereby it appears that the Governor and Secretary of State have cer tified under the seal of the state that the elec tors were duly appointed, which certificate both by presumption of law and by the certificate of the rival claimants of electoral office, was bas ed upon the action of the state canvassers,there exists no power in the Commission, as there exists none in the two Houses of Congress, in counting the electoral vote, to inquire into cir cumstances under which the primary vote for electors was given. The power of the Congress of the United States in its legislative capacity, to inquire iuto the matters alleged aud to act upon information so obtained, is a vsry differ ent one from its power in the matter of count ing the electoral votes. The votes to be count ed are those presented by the states, and when ascertained aud presented by the proper au thorities of the states, they must be counted. After the decision of the commission had been read, Mr. Phillips of Missouri presented the following objection: The undersigned Senators and Representa tives hereby object to counting the votes cast by C. C. Bowen, D. Winsmitb, J. B. Johnson, Timothy Hurley, W. B. Nash, Nelson Cooke and W. F. Meyers, alleged electors of the State of Sonth Carolina in conformity to the decision of the Electoral Commission, and as reasons therefor assign the following,— Because no legal election was held in South Carolina on Nov. 7, 187G for Presidential electors, in compliance with section 3, article 8 of the constitution thereof, requiring a reg istration of all electors of the State as a Qual ification to vote. The Senate then withdrew. Action of (the Senate. The Senate having returned to its own cham ber, Mr. Robertson submitted a resolution that *l. A .c At. _ n_: _al _ .1 _ toral vote of South Carolina stand as the judg ment of the Senate, objections made thereto to the contrary notwithstanding. Mr. Merrimon submitted a resolution that it is competent to receive testimony to sustain the exceptions to the decision of the Commission. Mr. Edmunds raised a point of order on the resolution of Mr. Merrimon and argued that the Senate must vote either to affirm or to re ject the decision of the Commission, upon which discussion ensued. The Senate, 18 to 43, decided the resolution of Mr. Merrimon out of order. Mr. Bogy then moved that the testimony in the South Carolina case be read, but the motion was rejected 31 to 4. The resolution of Mr. Robertson that the de cision of the Commission udou the electoral vote of the state of South Carolina, stand as the judgment of the Senate, &c„ was agreed to—yeas 39, nays 22—a strict party vote. Proceeding* in the lfou*e. In the House, Mr. Springer of Illinois moved to take a recess until 10 tomorrow. The motion was rejected—yeas 82, nays 170. As soon as the result was announced, Mr. Sheakley of Pennsylvania, and Mr. O’Brien of Maryland, simultaneously made motions to take a recess till 7.30 to-morrow. The Speaker promptly ruled the motiou not in order. Mr. Sheakley appealed from the decision of the Chair. Mr. Wood of New York, moved to lay the appeal on the table. Mr. Wilson of Iowa—The Chair need not entertain the appeal. The Speaker—The Chair knows that, but en tertains the appeal. The House might as well sav now whether the Speaker is right or wrong. Mr. Springer—Is not the appeal debatable? The Speaker—It is not Mr. SpriDger—I desire to give my reasons for sustaining the appeal. The Speaker—Debate not in order. Mr. O’ Brien rose t) a point of order, but the chair decided against him, and when he again attempted to speak, Mr. Brown of Kentucky, objected to debate. There was a determined effort by Messrs. Springer and O’Brien to be heard, buttheChair would not hear them and they were greeted with derisive laughter. On the motion to lay Mr. O’Brien’s appeal on the table the yeas and nays were ordered, and the vote was 184 to Cl, So the appeal was laid on the table. Mr. Wocd moved that the House proceed to the consideration of the decision. Mr. Sheakley—I move that the House take a recess till 10.30 tomorrow morniug. The Speaker—The chair cannot entertain the motion. The Clerk was proceeding to read the decis ion, when he was interrupted by Mr. Springer, who objected to the action of the Speaker in refusing to entertain the motion for a recess. He said it was the duty of the chair to decide the motion out of order, and that it was the privilege of any member to appeal from that ruling. jltie speaker again rerused to entertain the motion, citing authority for his decision. Mr. O’Brien again rose to a parliamentary question and was greeted with jeering laugh ter. The Speaker intimated that these interrup tions only had the effect of delaying the busi ness of the House. The Clerk was again proceeding to read the decision of the Commission, when he was inter rupted by Mr. Springer, who insisted that it was tho duty of the Chair to entertain any par liamentary motion submitted, and to rule upon it, and that it was the privilege of the House to overrule that decision. Mr. Springer was in terrupted by cries of “Sit down,” “Shut up,” 4 Order,” &c. The clerk then proceeded with the reading of the decision and of the objections thereto. When it was concluded Mr. Phillips of Mis souri called for the reading of testimony. Mr. Wood of New York objected to the read ing on the ground that there were 1200 printed pages of that report, and the testimony and that at the rate of ten pages an hour would oc cupy at least five days, and thus defeat (as was the object of the demand) the election alto gether. The Speaker stated that under the rules he would submit to the House the question whether the testimony should be read. He did so submit it, and a standing vote showed 00 ayes to 138 nays. Then the yeas and nays were taken—yeas 87, nays 177, As soon as tho vote was announced Mr. Wal ling of Ohio moved to reconsider the voto. Mr. Wood of New York moved to lay the mo tion to reconsider on the table. The yeas and nays were again ordered, and Mr. Wood’s motion was agreed to—yeas 177, nays 77. .Mr. Walling then moved that parts 1 and 2 of the booth Oaroliua testimony bo read. Speaker—The House has refused to have any of the testimony read, aud therefore the motion is not In order. Mf- r1',r.a°kJ,in Missouri, moved that the re port of tho Sooth Carolina committee be read. Speaker—It is not before the House aud can only be lead by unanimous consent Mr. SpriDger—It is a part of the 'papers that have been sent to the clerk’s desk. Speaker—The House refused to hear them read. Mr. Springer—Won constat, but the House may desire to have a portion of them read. Speaker—The gentleman from Illinois will not say that the House haviDg refused to have the entire testimony read, it is competent for the Chair to entertain a motion to read a por tion of the testimony. The real difficulty in this matter is the law. The law forbids the Chair. The Chair had nothing to do with the reporting of that law, but the Chair is bound to abide by its terms. Mr. Spinger—To that 1 do not object. Speaker—The Chair hopes not, because the gentleman reported the law. (Laughter.) Mr. Luttrell—Yes; and he wishes now that he had not. (Laughter.) Alter some further attempts at delay, Mr. Cochrane of Pennsylvania, offered a resolution that the decision of the Electoral Commission on the votes of South Carolina be not sustained by the House, and that they be not counted. The discussion was opened by Hooker of Mis sippi, who declared that in the case of South Carolina as in the cases of Florida and Louisi ana, the Commission had refused to perform the functions with which it had been invested, had refused to take evidence on the subject matter, and that, therefore, the House was not bound by its action. Mr. Lapham of New York, defended the ac tion of the Commission, and said if those who were making opposition to the count imagined they would find in the people anything but con demnation of their action they are very much in error. Mr. Goode of Virginia, declared unhesitat ingly that the duty of the Democrats now in reference to the Commission was to do unto others as they would have others do unto them under like circumstances. They should accord to the Republican party what they would them selves have unanimously demanded if the de cisien had been in their favor. It would not only te unwise but unmanly to attempt to re verse the decision of the Commission by any indirect method or by any clamorous complaints. It was the dictate of wisdom, of policy, of man hood, of honor to stand by the compact into which they had entered, and to execute in good faith the law which they had made. Mr. Lawrence of Ohio defended the action of the Commission and warned the Democratic side of the House of the danger of the doctrine that Congress had a right to go into a state, in vestigate the manner of an election and annul it. If that doctrine was to be established it might be carried into effect in the state of New York to defeat all the repeating and ballot-box stuffing that prevails in the elections there. Mr. Franklin of Mo., opposed the action of the Commission. If it were to be consum mated the second;century of the republic would opeu with a great political crime against the liberties of the American people and an usurp er would be placed in the chief executive chair 01 UK' uauuu. Mr. Banks of Mass., said that much misrep resentation and vituperation had led the coun try to believe the political condition of South Carolina had been such that it was impassible to have any honest or just representation of the opinions of the people in the elections. He had himself been largely influenced by that idea when he went there recently as a member of the investigating committee, but he had never been more astonished than at what he had seen there. Taking every vote on both sides and making no question about intimida tion or armed interference, the vote of South Carolina for Hayes and Wheeler had been just as absolute and indisputable as the vote of Massachusetts. As to the Electoral Commis sion, he saw nothing in its action but strictest adheranca to law and justice. Replying to the speech of Mr. Goode, he asserted that every man in Charleston capable of bearing arms was armed to the teeth, not to sustain the laws of the state or national government, but as enemies to both. Mr. Hoar—You do not mean blacks as well as whites. Banks—No; I mean every white man. The same is true of other parts of the state. They are armed for the destruction of the state gov ernment as it exists and without doubt hostile to the government of the United States as it exists. Mr. Vance of North Carolina raid his res pects to Mr. Hoar and imagined a case of a future archeologist standing before the tomb of Webster and calling to mind the imperisha ble words, “Union and liberty, one and insepa rable. now and forever,” and then standing be fore the tomb of Mr. Hoar and recalling the words, “Ordered, That the evidence of fraud be not received”. What an epitaph to the succes sor to Webster, Choate and Sumner. The column should be surmounted with a represen tation of the stealthy fox devouring the Louisi ana pelican. Mr. Wallace of South Carolina defended the state government of South Carolina. Mr. Rainey of South Carolina said that while South Carolina was not exactly in a state of anarchy, it had been so near it that it was a God send the army did go down there and ex ert a moral influence which had saved the lives of many men. Mr. Southard of Ohio said in bis view the true remedy was an enactment into a law of the bill passed yesterday by the House. That would avoid both anarchy and revolution. That bill meant peace and justice. Mr. Goodin of Kansas spoke in favor of ac quiescing in the work of the commission. M. a* Va.1. -_i:.j t_t. insinuation as to New York election frauds and asserted that the testimony taken by an investigating committee showed that out of 183,000 votes there had not been 30 fraudulent votes cast in New York at tbe late presidential election. Mr. Cochrane of Pennsylvania argued against the exclusion of testimony in South Carolina. Hoge cf South Carolina gave an account of some of his experiences in the last campaign in South Carelina as showing the necessity for the presence of troops there. His story was laughed and ieered at on the Democratic side, particularly when he announced that he re presented Jno. C. Calhoun’s district. The discussion was closed by Mr. Teese of New Jersey,who spokein favor of acquiescence. The House proceeded to vote on the resolution offered by Mr. Cochrane, that the decision in the case of South Carolina be not sustained and that the vote be not counted. Mr. Walling of Ohio moved to add to the resolntion the words “in conformity with the decision of said Commission.’’ Mr. Jones of Kentucky offered as a sub stitute that the decision be not concnrred in. Mr. Hale of Maine made the point of order against the amendment, and substitute that under the electoral law the main question must be at once pnt, but the speaker overruled it. Question was first put on ordering the main question and it was 6 o’clock before tbe result was announced. While the vote was being taken efforts were made by members on both sides to arrive at some basis for a compromise, because it was evident that hours would yet be consumed in the yea and nay votes before the point of the reassembling of the two houses in joint meeting conld be reached. No compromise however having been effect ed, Mr. Walling of Ohio, as soon as the result of the vote ordering the main question was an nounced, moved to reconsider that vote. Mr. Wood of N. Y., then offered a proposi tion for a compromise which was at tbe suggestion of the Speaker reduced to writing as follows: The amendments now pending to be with drawn and the House to come to a direct vote on the original resolution, tbe Senate to be then invited to meet the House for the purpose of continuing the count, and that when the state of Vermont shall be reached and the two houses separate, the House shall then take a recess till 10 tc-morrow. There were no objections merle end tbe n™_ position was agreed to. Mr. Cochrane’s resolution that the vote of South Carolina be not counted was then adopt ed and the Senate notified, Tbe Joint Convention Resumed—South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas Count ed. At 6.20 the Senators came into the hall and the action of each house on the decision having been read the presiding officer announced that two houses not concurring otherwise tbe elec toral votes of South Carolina would be counted and they were therefore declared by one of the tellers as 7 votes for Hayes and Wheeler. Pending that action Mr. Jones of Ky., raised the question that there was not a quorum of the Senate present (only 28 having having en tered) but the presiding officer paid no atten tion to the interruption and directed the clerk to proceed with the reading, Mr. Jones con tenting himself with a protest against tbe pro ceedings. Tne votes of Tennessee, 12, and of Texas, 8, for Tilden and Hendricks, were then counted without objection. Then came Vermont, with four votes for Hayes and Wheeler. Certificate having been read in fall Mr. Pop pleton of Ohio, rcse to present an objection to it, but first asked tbe presiding officer whether any other certificate had been received from Vermont than that which had been read. The presiding officer replied in the negative. Mr. Hewitt of New York, stated that he held in his hand a package purporting to contain the electoral votes of Vermont, which package had been delivered to him by express about the middle of December, and that with it came a letter stating that a similar package had been forwarded to the President of the Senate by mail. On learning today that no correspond ing package had been received by the presiding officer, he bad tendered to him this package and the presiding officer declined to receive it. The presiding officer—The Chair has stated that he has received but ono certificate from Vermont. Chair also states that the law pro hibits him from receiving after the first Thurs day in February. Bis duty is to receive, open and to have read all that have been received on that day. Mr. Springer persisted in his efforts to have a resolution read, but tbe presiding officer was just as firm and unyielding in not permitting it to be read, and he intimated that if tbe mem ber from Illinois would not come to order the services of the Sergeant-at-Arms would be call ed into requisition. Finally Mr. Springer undertook to put his resolution in the shape of an objection and pro ceedings were informally suspended to give him time to do so. After about a quarter of an hour spent in fixing it up in consultation with others, the following objection was sent up sign ed by Senator Merrimon and liepresentatives Springer and Hamilton of Indiana. The undersigned Senators and members ob ject to the counting of the votes of tbe state of Vermont for the reason that two returns or pa pers purporting to be returns of tbe electoral vote of said state were forwarded to the Presi dent of the Senate, aod that only one of tbe said returns has been laid before the two Houses. The President of the Senate having stated that but one return has been received by him from said state, a duplicate copy of one of said returns is herewith submitted for the con sideration of the Senate and House of Itepre aentatives. Accompanying the objection was the follow ing telegram, which was rsad: Burlington, Vt., Feb. 27,1877. To Samuel J. Randall, Speaker of the House of Representatives: Tbe certificate of Amos Aldrich as an elector was deposited in this office Dec. 18th. (Signed) B. B. Small*y, Clerk of United Slates District Couit of Ver mont. Mr. Poppletou of Ohio then presented two objections to the vote of Henry N. Sollace. one of the electors, on tbe ground that he was a postmaster when elected; that the law of Ver mont did not authorize any appointment by the college of electors to fill a vacancy caused by the absence of an elector. The objections having been read the Speaker demanded the reading of the duplicate return sent up with his objection. The Chair entirely ignored Mr. Springer’s re peated demands, and said the Senate will now retire to its own chamber in order that the two Houses may separately cansider and decide upon the objections. As the Senators were withdrawing Mr. Springer called out that he now made the point of order that there being duplicate returns the case had now gone ta the electoral commission and could not be considered by the two Houses. No attention, however, was paid to it, nor to the proposition made immediately afterwards by Mr. Mills of Texas that the House proceed to elect a President, the Speaker declaring that unallowable under the terms of the compro mise agreement. The House lakes a Recess. The House, at 7.20, took a recess till 10 o'elock to-morrow morning. Senate Overrules Ihe Vermont Objections. In the Senate after the returning at 7.15 the President pro tern announced that the Senate having returned from joint meeting oi the two Houses upon the objections submitted to the certitlcate of the state of Vermont, such objec tions would be read. The Secretary having read the various objec tions as presented in the joint meeting, Air. Edmunds submitted a resolution that the vote of Henry N. Sollace as an elector for the state of Vermont be counted with the other elee toral votes of that state, objections thereto to the contrary notwithstanding. The resolution of Mr. Edmunds was unani mously agreed to—yeas 47. The Secretary was directed to notify the House and the Senate took a recess till 10 o’clock to-morrow. PRESIDENT HATES. Brilliant Reception at Columbus. Columbus, O., Feb. 28.—A reception given to President Hayes this evening by the citizens of Columbus, without distinction of party is now in progress at the capital, and is an en thusiastie ovation. The halls of the Senate and House of Representatives filled rapidly and hundreds left unable even to reach the steps of the building. Many prominent citizens, Dem ocrats and Republicnas, from all parts of the state, are present. The Governor with Mrs. Hayes leaning on his arm and accompanied by the committee entered the Senate chamber at 8 o’clock, and immediately thereafter those hav ing tickets were admitted. Mrs. Hayes was plainly but richly dressed in a heavy black sick, her only ornaments being flowers. At 9 o'clock the reception in the Senate chamber was concluded and(Governor andMrs. Hayes repaired to the House of Representa tives, where they were received with hearty ap plause and given seats near the Speaker's desk. The outside doors were now opened and the crowd poured in filling all of the vacant space. The joint meeting was called to order by H. W. Curtiss, President pro tern of the Senate, who made a few complimentary and highly ap propriate remarks, declaring the imposing ceremonies of the day and evening were not mere formalities, bnt the unselfish tributes of a people to a man that they admired as a citizen and so highly respected as an official. A glee club sang the “Star Spangled Ban ner,’’ after which speeches highly complimen tary of Governor Hayes as a citizen and official were made by Senator Warnock and Hon. Chas. H. Grosvenor, the Speaker of the House. Governor Hayes then took the place on the Speaker s stand amidst prolonged applause and spoke as follows: Mr. President and Ladies and Gentlemen: I shall make no attempt to desciibe what I have felt during the progress of this reception, nor what I feel now that it is drawing to a close. I wish in the simplest way and with the fewest words to thank the citizens of Columbus and members of the general assembly, state of ficers and the people of Ohio who have taken part in it for their very great kindness to me and my family on this and on many other oc casions. The city of Columbus and its people have very many and great claims to our affec tion and gratitude. It is more than forty years since 1 became acquainted in boyhood with Co lumbus, and fromj that day to this many of my most intimate friends have been among its citizens. Many are gone. I look i?. vam among those we have met here IU.S evening ior some who were once num bered with my most farmiliar acquaintances. A few are here whose acquaintance I made during that first well remembered year of the cholera, the year 1833. Among these are the chairman of your executive committee, Mr. Wm, Deshler and I then saw for the first time his older brother. But very many of my earlv friends of Columbus are gone. Among those 1 knew and remember for their friendliness to me as a boy and who are no longer living are sucli well koowti citizens of e Dr- J- G. Jones, John Noble, M. J. Gilbert and many who were nearer my own age, such as Thomas Sparrow Fitch. James Matthews, Albert B. Butler and Dr. Douglass with whom I was on terms of intimate friend ship. We are reminded by the absence of these friends of the changes we mast expect in the years that are before us. i0-r “ysetfandfamily, we go, perhaps to return m a few days to occupy our accustomed place in this community. Possibly we goto other scenes and other duties, not to meet you again as fellow citizens of Columbus. In that event I wish to say, as Mr. Lincoln said on parting with his friends at Springfield. Ill sixteen years ago, that “I trust you will ptay that I may have Divine assistance and guid ance. without which I cannot succeed and with which 1 cannot fail. After the joint session had been dissolved the visitors paid their respects to the illustrious guests and Wm. Leonard, Chief Clerk of the House, on behalf of his associates, presented Mrs. Hayes with an elegant crystal and bronze vase, filled with choice flowers. The audience then dispersed and Governor and Mrs. Hayes were escorted to their residences. The entire ceremonies of the day were a per fect ovation to Mr. and Mrs. Hayes, and the gathering was one of the largest ever held in this city. Gov. Ham lo Start for Washington To Day. Gov. Hayes and party will leave for Wash ington tomorrow at 12.50 p. m. via the Pan Handle road. He will not resign his position as Governor at present. THE SOUTHERN STATES. Personal Assurance to Gov. Nichols that His Government will be Sustained. New York, Feb. 28.—A Washington special to the Herald says yesterday afternoon Repre sentative Watterson of Kentucky, moved to suspend the rules and adopt a resolution recit ing the text of a telegram sent to Gov. Nichols of Louisiana by authority of the President, to the effect that the Nichols government should be sustained as representing the best elements of the state, and declaring that the opinions expressed by the President are sound, and are the sentiments of a large majority of the Amer ican people. Calls were made on the Republi can side of the House for the name of the au thor of the telegram, but his name was not given. It has transpired that Col. Burke, who hasbeen representing the Nicholls government at Washington, sent the following despatch yesterday Gov. F. T. Nicholls, New Orleans: I have just had a satisfactory interview with the President. He says he is satisfied that the Nicholls government is the government which should stand, and that he believes it is sus tained by the best elements of the state; that the Packard government cannot exist without the support of troops; that the sentiment of the country is clearly opposed to the further use of troops in upholding state governments; and that in his opinion there would be no inter ference with the Nicholls government unless, carried away by the possession of power, ex cesses were committed. E. A. Burke. The President yesterday expressed the in tention, as soon as the Presidential count is fin ed and the result officially declared, of notify ing Gen. Augur by telegraph, that all existing military orders issued for the purpose of pre serving the statu quo of the political situaeiou, are rescinded, except so far as simply to re quire the use of troops when necessary for the preservation of the public peace. Alleged Policy of the New Adminietra Han. A Washington despatch to the Sun says it is understood that it is the intention of Mr. Hayes to recognize the Nicholls and Hampton governments, and it is stated positively that Stanley Mathews has pledged his honor to this effect. New Orleans despatches confirm these reports. One despatch gives the conditions of the treaty. The orders of the President to Gen. Augur are to be rescinded, and the Dem ocrats are to take possession of the state house, with all the departments of the state govern lnent, so that Mr. Hayes, on his inauguration, will find Nicholls governor de facto. In return the Democrats are to give the Republicans the long term in the United States Senate, guaran tee immunity for all past political acts, secure the colored people in their equal rights before the law, and protect all citizens from violence or interlereuco with their political opinions or affiliations. The World’s despatch says William A. Wheeler professes to have a letter from Gov. Hayes in which he states that it he is declared I resident he will provide for two Southern men in his oabinet, one who had always been a Union man and one who has been a Con 1 ,r,aV'! ,13 Qow a Republican (Mosby, no J!1,8 letter ia further said to state that the Nicholls government in Louisiana is the only one which has any strength, and which would be supported by the people of that “tate, wherefore Congress ought to recognize it The Louisiana Situation Stated by Got. Nicholl’s Agent. Washington, Feb. 28.—The following infor mation concerning the affairs of Louisiana is furnished by Col. E. A Burke, who represents the Nicholls government in this city: '"Pbut8 has been no bargain between the Nicholls government and the Republican au thorities concerning the election of a U S Senator. The legislature of Louisiana will elect whomsoever they see fit at an extra ses sion. There has been great anxiety on the part of the friends of Louisiana to ascertain if the assurance of nou-idtorference with the Nicholls goeernment would be adhered to by Mi. Hayes in tbo event of his inauguration and satisfactory guarantees have been given assuring them of a pemauent establishment of the Nicholls government. On the othet hand the legislature of Louisiana and Gov. Nicholls have guaranteed peace and order and equal justice to black and white citizens, with full protection to the colored people in all their rights and privileges, no prosecution of Repub licans for past political conduct, but no immun ity for crime. The announcement of the Pres ident’s intention to withdraw the troops from Packard’s support was made independent of any agreement and was simply in accordance with his well kuowu views. Representative Gibson's natno lies been improperly associated with the supposed bargain, lie has been quite ill for some days past. There is no agreement, Col. Burke adds, inconsistent with the honor or dignity of President Grant, Gov. Hayes or the people of Louisiana." Fortj-Fourth Congress—Second Session. HOUSE rr Washington, Feb. 28.

Now what are the symptoms of Catarrh? They commence with a sense of irritation about the nasal organs which, if not allayed with UKKMAN SNUFF, after a short time extend to the throat. As you lia down at night and fain would sleep and rest the weary brain. HORRIBLE TO SAY, The Secretions of the Head PASS TO THE LUNGS. Causing these delicate organs to be impregnated with CATARRHAL POISON. In the morning you arise with a dull, heavy feel ing about the head and extreme nausea at the stom ach: you can eat nothing with a relish, to work is a task, as yon have that dull pain and sense of op pression which demonstrates the fact that CATARRH HAS SECURED A VICTIM.

The standard remedies for all diseases of tbe lungs are Schenck’s Pclmonio Syrup, Schenck’* Sea Weed tonic, and Schenck’s Mandrake Pills, and, if taken before tbe lungs are destroyed, a speedy cure is efiected. To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treatment of pulmonary diseases. The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter in the lungs; nature throws it oft by an easy expectora tion, for when the phlegm or matter is ripe a slight cough will throw it oft, tne patient has rest and the lungs begin to heal. To enable the Pulmonic Syrup to do this, Schenck’s Mandrake Pills and Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the stomach and liver. Sciienck’s Mandrake Pills act on the liver, removing all obstructions, relax the gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is soon relieved. Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant and alterative; the alkali of which it is composed, mixes with the food and prevents souring. It assists the digestion by toning up the stomach to a healthy condition, bo that the food and the Pulmonic Syrup will make good blood; then the lungs heal, and the patient will surely get well if care is taken to pre vent fresh cold. All who wish to consult Dr. Schenck, either per sonally or by letter, can do so at his principal office, corner or Sixth and Arch Sts Philadelphia, every Monday. Schenck’s medicines are Bold by all druggists throughout the country. maleod&w2msn TESTIMONY FROM CANADA. Montreal, November 25, 18T6. Messrs.

TELE PRESS. THE FARM AND HOUSEHOLD. The Milk Vein and the Secretion ol Milk It is generally understood that a cow with a large milk vein, will be found to ho a good milker. A common opinion is that this vein is the organ which secretes the milk and pas ses it to the udder. Such, however, is not the fact. The milk is secreted from arterial blood, the udder being the organ ot secretion. Again, it has been stated by what is gener ally conceded to be good authority that this vein is the channel by which the blood re turns, and that its contents consist'of the ref use of the secretions, or that portion not taken up by the organs of the udder iu the secretion of the milk. Both oi these opinions are erroneous. A good authority, Mr. Youatt, says that this vein is derived from numerous ramifica tions, from the walls of the chest as far hack as the sternum, and taking in some of the intercostals or those veins lying between the ribs; and that, as it advances posteriorly along the abdomen, it passes by the side of the udder, and disgorges itself partly into the inquinal vein, or vein of the groin, and part ly into the sub clavian vein. It therefore belongs to the respiratory sys tem more than auy other; for it is the part of the body in which the vein rises, and not that to which it flows, that is drained. As it travels along the abdomen it is supposed to receive some muscular and cutaneous mat ter. This so-called milk vein, therefore, does act an important part in the production of milk, since its connections with the organs of res piration by draining these portions promptly enables them to aerate and purify a much larger quantity of blood than would be done if this vein were not ample; and, therefore, the commonly received opinion that a large milk vein is a sign of a good milker is true, but not exactly the same way that the un scientific mind would naturally infer.— Tf esf ern Rural. How to Fatten a Hone. To fatten a horse that has fallen off in flesh the work of months. The following suggest ions to accomplish it, however, though with out paternity, look to us as wise and to the purpose. Many good horses devour large quantities of grain and hay, and continue thin and poor; the food eaten is not properly as similated. If the usual food has been un ground grain or hay, notbiDg but a change will effect any desirable alteration in the ap pearance of the animal. In case oatmeal cannot be obtained readily, mingle a bushel of flax seed with a bushel of barley, one of oats and another of Indian corn and let it be ground into a fine meal. This will be a fail proportion for all his feed. Or the meal, or barley, oats and corn, in equal quantities, may be produced and one-fourth part of oil cake mingled on cut food. Feed two or three quarts of this mixture two or three times daily mingled with a peck ot cut hay and straw. If the horse will eat greedily, let the quantity be gradually increased until he will eat four or six quarts every feeding, three times a day. So long as the animal will eat his allowance, the quantity may be increased a little every day. Avoid the practice of al lowing a horse to stand at a rack well filled with hay. In order to fatten a horse run down in fish, the groom should be very par ticular to feed the animal no more than he will eat up clean and lick his manger for more.—Germantown Telegraph. Flowering Annual*. The following good practical remarks are from Prof. Beal of the Michigan Agricultural College, and the results of experience at that institution. For flowering annuals nothing gives us greater satisfaction than good strains ot petu nias. The best way is to save seeds, and keep saving every year, after getting started with good colors. They thrive in our hot weather, and give plenty of flowers constantly after they begin, until frost comes. Of great value also, are the several sorts of Phlox Drummon dii. No garden can afford to be without them. Pansies do well for fall and spring in cool weather. Do not allow them to flower in hot weather when the flowers will be small and worthless, but pinch out the head, and then the plants become strong for fall use. Pansies thrive in cool damp weather. In our short summers zinnias are very satisfactory if good sorts are used; snap-dragons also, and lark spurs. Balsams do poorly on light soil in our summers. Asters of man? sorts do well but are an uncertain flower on account of blister beetles, which sometimes appear very sudden l*J. uumvusv UULUUV/1 Jy UUOliUJIUg U UV/U JU Ot few hours, often before the insects are noticed. Marigolds are showy and easy to manage. Place them towards the back of a garden. Mignonette is good for bouquets and easily raised. Eggs—How Increased. If an increase of eggs be desired in the poultry yard, before large sums of money are expended in the purchase of everlasting lay ers, we would recommend the system of keeping no hens after the first, or, at the most, their second year. Early puliets give the increase, and the only wonder is that the people prisest as they do in keeping up hens which lay one day and stop three, instead of laying three days and stopping one. In some parts of England it is the invariable rule to keep the pullets only one year. Feeding will do a great deal—a surprising work indeed—in the production of eggs, but not when old hens are concerned; they may put on fat, but they cannot put down eggs. The tale is told, their work is over; nothing remains to be done with them but to give them a smell of the kitchen lire, and the sooner they get that the better. Of course there are some old favorites whose lives ought to be spared as long as they can send forth their represen tatives. Judicious mating, by >vhich we mean the advantage of a comparatively youth ful cockerel, may be the means of even ex hibition poultry making their appearance from the eggs of the good old hen, and here we have the exception to the rule upon which we insist.—London Agricultural Ga zette Handling Sinalc Caiilr. Butchers in the rural district often have occasion to take from a herd one ortwo single steers a week. This they generally do by tying them head and foot, and perhaps driv ing them in that unnatural position some times several miles. The animal naturally gets sulky, the rope having rubbed the skin off his leg; he then stops, over-heated and ex hausted. He is then assaulted with clubs, stones and chunks of the third command ment, and upon arriving at the slaughter house is entirely unfit for human food. Oth ers drive an old cow out to accompany the one sold. This is useless, although better than the first method. Now I will suggest one which is a perfect success: Place a girt tightly around the animal, just back of the shoulder; buckle a hame-strap around the fet lock. with a ring in it; attach a light rope to the ring; pass it up to the brisket, through the girt, then back. It should be twenty feet long. When the animal starts, draw up on me uuc, tuus uiawiug ms iuul up agaiu&L ms brisket. Alter making an effort on three legs for a short time, he will give up, when the rope is loosened, giving him use of his foot, and then he will generally quietly walk along, saving a good deal of time, trouble aud vexa tion, to say nothing of the humane treatment of the animal.—Country Gentleman. A Care far Diphtheria. Dr. Cheney of Boston has lately discovered that hyposulphate of soda is the specific remedy against diphtheria—that so much dreaded ailment, which of late years has car ried off many valuable lives. lie reports a very large number of cases (158 within his practice) saved by the use of this remedy. The dose of the hyposulphate ls/rom five to fifteen grains or more in syrup, every two or four hours, according to the age and circum stances. It can do no harm, but if too much is given it will purge; as much as the patient can hear without purging is a good rule in the severe cases. The solution or mixture can be used in doses of five drops to half a drachm in milk. The amount for thorough stimula tion is greater than can be taken in water. The doctor usually gives it in such doses as can be easily taken in milk, using milk be sides as food for small children. One fact, however, needs to be borne in mind, namely, the hyposulphate prevents the digestion of milk, and it should not be given in less than an hour after taking the medicine. They may be used alternately, however, without interference, in sufficiently frequent doses. Lime and Salt. Professor Johnson recommends for fertiliz ing purposes to mix one bushel of salt and two bushels of dry lime under cover, and al low the mixture to decompose gradually, thus forming chemicel union. For this pur pose the mixture should be made six weeks before use, or still better, two or three months, the heap being turned over occasion ally. This salt and lime mixture, when ap plied at the rate of twenty or thirty bushels per acre, forms an excellent top-dressing for many crops. It acts powerfully on the veg etable matter of soils fifty-six bushels appli ed to turnips have produced as large a crop as barnyard manure. It is destructive to grubs and insects in the soil. Like salt it attracts moisture from the air, and is useful against drought. Its decomposing power is remark able, and is three or four bushels of it are mixed with a load of muck, the latter will he thus thoroughly powdered. Vaults Cleaned and Ashes Re moved.

It possesses the soothing and healiDg properties of plants, herbs and barks in their essential forms, free from every fibrous contamination, and in this respect differs from every other known remedy. In one short year It has found its way from the Atlantic to the Pacific coast, and wherever known has become the standard remedy lor the treatment of Catarrh. The proprietors have been waited upon by gentlemen o national reputation who have been cured by this remedy, and who have, at considerable expense and personal trouble, SDread the good news throughout the circles in which they move. When you hear a wealthy gentleman of intelligence and refinement say “I owe my life to Sanford’s Radical Cure,” you may feel assured that it is an article of great value and worthy to be classed among the standard medi cal specifics of the day. IMPORTANT” LETTER From a Distinguished Physician. NO single disease has entailed more suffering or I hastened the breaking up of the constitution than Catarrh. The sense of smell, of taste, ot sight, of hearing, the human voice, the mind, one or more and some times all yield to its destructive influence. The poison it distributes throughout the system at tacks every vital force, and breaks up the most ro bust of constitutions. Ignored because little under stood by most pbysicans, impotently assailed by quacks and charlatans, those suffering from it have little hope to be relieved of it this side of the grave. It is time, then, that the popular treatment of thi 4 terrible disease by remedies within the reach of all passed into hands at once competent and trustwor thy. The new and hitherto untried method adopted by Dr. Santord in tho preparation of his Radical Cube has won my hearty approval. I believe it Jikely to succeed when all the usual remedies fail, beoauso it strikes at the root of the diseased, viz. the acidified, blood, while it heals the ulcerated membrane by di rect application to the nasal passages. Its action is based on certain fixed rules, and unless the vital for ces are too far exhausted, must, in the great major ity of cases, effect a cure. GEO. BEARD, m. d. Nobscott Block, So. Framingham, Oct. 1, 1874. cata"rrh And Deafness Cured. Gentlemen,—My wife has been troubled with Ca tarrh for years, and has tried three other remedies without any benefit. She has also been partially deaf in one ear for over twelve years. Since she has been using Sanford’s Radical Cure her troubles have been growing rapidly better.
