(This article is considered so superior to every thing else, and to possess such uncommon virtues, that it is ordered from all parts of the country.] (C/* An Agent recently writes: Please send me a further supply of Jebb’s Liniment the first opportunu ty—I shall probably sell a considerable quantity, as it is recommended by some of our physicians very high ly, although-contrary to their rules and regulations .to give encouragement to such (or. patent) medicines.” But is a most decided proof of their confidence in its invaluable properties Another agent writes: wish you to forward me some more of Jebb’s Liniment, which has recommend ed itself very highly.” Price 50 cents a bottle. The Painful and Debilitating Complaint of THE PILES Receives immediate relief, and in numerous instances has been thoroughly cured, by the administration of DUMFRIES’ REMEDY FOR THE PILES.

DR. LEE’S GENUINE PATENT New London Bilious Pills. JUST received, a fresh supply of the above useful Medicine, direct from Dr. Lee’s Dispensary. 12th mo 30th, 1833. W. STABLER. The following extract is published by Dr. Lee’s au thority, viz;— Extract of a letter, written by a very respectable gen tleman, residing in Baltimore, to the subscriber, who deems it his duty, though unauthorized, to lay it be fore the public, withholding the writer’s name, for particular reference, should any require it person ally. SAM. H. P. LEE. Baltimore, August, 1828. Doctor S. H. P. Lee, New London, Conn. Dear Sir—It i9 now upwards of twenty years that I have used your New London Bilious Pills in my fami ly, and always found them an efficient purgative in al most every description of disease, and believe they sa« ved many a long doctor*? bill by their early and timely use. I never found their accustomed certainty to vary in their operation and effects until a few months past; and having, since then, been sadly disappointed in eve ry instance of using them, I began to conclude that j'ou had made your fortune, and abandoned their manufi.c* ture to mercenary and unfaithful hands. Under this impression, I accidentally saw an advertisement of yours in a New York newspaper, designating spurious imitations from vour own manufacture, by having your WRITTEN SIGNATURE to each bill of directions, and that in no instance were the imitations signed with pen and ink, although a perfect copy in every other respact Finding those I had without this test, 1 be gan to suspect that all was not fair in medicine, as well as in politics, and called at several of our apothe caries for your pills, with your written signature. 1 found many without this test, but none with it, until l came to the Messrs Keerls*, who assured me they had them direct from you. I procured a box, and on using them, found the same effects from them I had always o n/1 am on munit nmnn n/linnc se*fin possession of a medicine I so highly prize, that that l cannot, in justice, refrain from giving you this information. k (O* Po avoid the imposition of counterfeits and spu rious imitations, as related above, the purchaser has only to examine the bill of directions covering each box, and if signed at foot, in my own handwriting, im mediately under my printed name, they are genuine, and prepared by me* but if ohly the printed name is affixed, they are spurious, and to be avoided.

""'TOWS CORRESPONDENCE. Washington January 16, 1884. Dear Sir:—The Senate has been most intole rably bored for the last three or four days, by the new member from Maine, wrho has been drawling about the deposites—merely for the j purpose of making a speech. His voice, man-! ner, dec. dec. are most insufferably disagreeable. j A few sentences, delivered in his peculiar style, soon clear the galleries and lobbies of all luck less wights wTho may have strayed there for edi fication or amusement Mr. Shepley’s dullness is the more noticed, as we cannot avoid compa ring him with the facetious John Holmes, who j used to occupy his seat, and who was wont to set the Senate in a roar with his dry jokes and good humored sallies. The administration has, as yet, not recovered ground by the speeches made in its favor. Mr. Moore, of Virginia, has acquitted himself in the House, very well on the Deposite ques tion. To-day we have Mr. Beardsley, (of course) going the whole for the powers that be. I can give you no idea of when the debate is to terminate Many speeches are in prepara tion. I only pray for the country a “safe de liverance!” X. THE CODE OF LAWS FOR THE DIS TRICT OF COLUMBIA. To the Editor of the Alexandria Gazette: The volume of the Code of Laws prepared by the joint committee of Congress, and report ed to the last session, has been within a few' days sent to some of the persons in this place included in the order of the Senate. The object of making this order was to give an opportunity to the people to examine them and make such objections to them as they might have. Time has not been allowed for even a hasty reading of them, much less to see w'hat may be their effect w'hen put into operation. It is hoped, therefore, that Congress will not act on them during the present session. I have examined that portion of them that re lates to the organization of the Courts and to the penal code of the District. There are strong objections to the proposed arrangement of the Courts. The proposition is to have three Counties in the District—in each of which there are to be fifteen Justices of the Peace, five to hold alter nately in each county, monthly, a Court to be called “the Inferior Court:” that is, twelve Courts in each county, with the right to hold Special Courts. So that there will be in the District, certainly, thirty-six Inferior Courts in a year. These Courts are to have jurisdiction in civil cases w’hen the sum exceeds tw’enty dol-, lars and does not exceed one hundred dollars; and over all petty crimes: an appeal is given from this Court to the Superior Court in each county. Each of these Justices, in their respective counties, has jurisdiction in all cases where the sum does not exceed twenty dollars; from the decision of a single Justice, w'hen the sum is over five dollars, there is a right of appeal to the Inferior Court. Each Justice may have his Court daily.—That is, he may hold his Court three hundred and fourteen times in the year. And there may be in the three counties of the District a single Magistrate Court to the num ber of nine hundred and forty-two in the course of the year. The bill provides that there shall be a Supe rior Court for each of the three counties, to be held by one of the Judges of the present Cir cuit Court, whose jurisdiction in civil cases shall be where the debt is above 100 dol lars;__there may be appeals from the Inferior to the Superior Courts. These Courts have Chancery jurisdiction and criminal jurisdiction. They are to be held twice a year in each Coun- j ty: that is, six of these Courts in the whole Dis trict in a year. The bill provides, that there shall be in each county an Orphans’ Court, to be held certainly twice in each month: that is, twenty-four times in each county, or seventy-two sessions of the Court in the whole District From the deci sions of this Court is an appeal to the Superior Court. There is also to be a Court of Appeals, to be held twice a year, for the whole District, at the City of Washington, to consist ol the three Judg es who are to hold the Superior Courts in the re spective counties. To this Court appeals are allowed from the Superior Courts; and from the decisions of the Court of Appeals an appeal may be taken to the Supreme Court of the United States. By the bill, a Judge is to be appointed for the Orphans* Court of the new county, with as alary of not less than $1000, and a court-house and jail built. Thus it appears, if this bill is passed, there will »yheld annually in the District,containingja pop-} Nation not exceeding 35,000, the following num ber of Courts: Inferior Courts 36 Orphans’ Courts 72 Superior Courts 6 I Court of Appeals 2 In all- 116 Besides the Courts of a single Justice of the feace, which may be held every day. It is respectfully asked, can the situation of the District require such a number of Courts? f is believed that a very large portion of the inhabitants are opposed to the proposed arrange ment of the Courts. The people of Alexandria have been, and still are, contented with the pre-j sent system. Why, then, should a change be made, when no discontent has been expressed to Congress? The penal code, as proposed, is equally objec tionable. It is what is called Mr. Livingston’s Criminal Code, and which he introduced inter. the State of Louisiana. The attempt is to intro duce an entire new criminal code among a peo ple who have been governed all their lives by the Common Law code. That proposed is ta ken from the Civil Law—such as most of the people of Louisiana are used to under the gov- ernments under which they have lived, and are j acquainted with. The people of the District would.have to unlearn and abandon all their i common law rules and principles, in relation to public offences, and to learn a new set of princi ples and rules. The people of the adjoining States will continue to be governed, as they have been from the foundation of their respect ive States, by the common law. Such a sud den and radical change in the Criminal Law of the District is uncalled for, and cannot be accep. table to the people. I have submitted the preceding remarks in relation to the Courts and the Penal Code, in the hope that they may arrest the attention of others who are more capable, and have more time to attend to the subject, than the present, writer. A CITIZEN. [communicated.

Q. To the Editors of the National Intelligencer. Gentlemen I see it stated in your paper, that a daughter of mine was married at Columbia, Tennessee, a while back. This is a mistake. There’s a heap of Crocketts in that part of Ten nessee, and from that no doubt the mistake arose, but none of my family live there. Yours, &c. DAVID CROCKETT. Washington Jan. 15. [The annunciation was copied from a Ten nessee paper. As it had been publicly stated, some time since the worthy Colonel had told a young man, who asked permission to woo one of his fair daughters, to “go ahead!” the editor probably thought that the late marriage was the consummation of that frank permission.

JOHN’S ACADEMY. rilHE public are respectfully informed thai J- the Academy recently established by the Rev. J. Smith, at the corner of Royal and Duke streets, Alexandria, is now permanently in operation, and ready for the reception of stu dents. The course of education pursued in this Aca demy comprises all the various branches thal constitute a sound English and Classical Educa tion. It embraces the Latin, Greek, French and English Languages; Logic; Natural and Moral Philosophy; Mathematics; History, Ancient and Modern; Geography; the use of the Globes; Elo cution; English Grammar, Reading, Writing, &c. &c. The Classical Department of this Institution will be conducted by Mr. H. C. McLaughlin, a gentleman of high classical attainments, and of long experience in the education of youth, hav ing been employed for a considerable time as a Professor in one of the most distinguished Uni versities in this country. The object of the gentlemen concerned in this Institution is to impart to those who may be en trusted to their charge a solid and thorough knowledge of the Classics, adopting as their mode the ratio studiorum” which has so de servedly attracted the attention and secured the approbation of the Literati of Europe and Ame rica; a system which, if properly attended to, can alone store the mind with useful and solid knowledge, and form the elegant and profound classic scholar. It need hardly be remarked here, that this system entirely explodes the prac tice which has of late been introduced into ma ny of our most respectable schools, of putting into the hands of youth books composed of sen tences and phrases seiected from the different authors, and substituting such excerpta for the original—a mode which may, indeed, lead to a rapid and superficial acquaintance, but can ne ver convey the beauty, style, or spirit of the Ro man and Athenian writers. This remark is suggested merely from a conviction of the supe riority of this system over every other at pre sent known, without any reference or allusion whatever. In the English Department, the most concise and exact method will be pursued, and compe tent teachers provided. Music will be taught without any extra charge. Hours of attendance from 9 to 12 A. M., and from 2 to 5 P. M.; during which time the strict est attention will be paid to the morals of the students. Terms made known by applying to Mr. Hugh C. McLaughlin, at the Academy, or Rev.
