saS:
The breach between Governor Geary
and the Legislature has been widcned
by the passage Of a bill allowing judges
discriminating power to admit persons
to bail in all eases, including murder in
the first degree. The bill was vetoed by
Geary, and 1t is said to be doubtful whetE-
err it will pass over his veto by a two
thirds vote.

election at Lawrence, and was threaten
ed with the same murderous treatment

he did not close the polls in thirty min

and was not disturbed. 1t is said that
some of the influential men in the place

THE DEATH KNELL OF QUAcKERY.
"Oh, blessed heafth!" exclaims Sterne
it's thou who enlargest the soul and
openest all its powers to receive instruc-
ton and to relish virtue. He that has
thee has little else to wish for; he that is
so wretched as to want thee, wants
everything with thee" The truth Of
this apostrophe every one must ac-
knowledge; poor Sterne spoke from sad
experience. And yet, familiar as every
man is with the truth herein expressed,
no mortal could compute the members
who ruin themselves in body, mind, and
fortune by neglecting to employ the
proper remedies when health falls
How is this neglect to be remcdied?-
The evil has become so conscorated by
age, that the man who undertakes to
amend it requires 10 ordinary hardi-
hood, such a man is Professor Hollo-
way.
The honest laborer in the cause of
humanity finds no sadder discourage
ment, than in the compliment indiffer-
ence with which people prefer rather to
endure a long existing evil, than to in
cur the trouble necessary to get rid OF
it. The more aged an error has be-
come, the moro difficult it is to remove
it. This is true in an especial manner
of the art of healing, as it was known
and practised before the advent Of this
wonderful g~enious whose mission has
been to re~-cstablish the treatment of
human ailments in a rational way.
One by one the venerable abuses that
have disgraced the past are disappear
ing, and among the rest, the errors that
have erept into medical practice have
got their dismission papers, and are
obliged, to use a vulgar phrase, "to cut
and run" Where, it may be asked, are
the proofs? Proofs! Why, there is
n great, patent, palpable fact, which
has been staring the world in the face
for the last twenty years, and working
-
its way through popular prejudice into
popular favor with i success which is
the most unquestionab!c evidence o. its
power as a proof. The medicine of Pro-
fcssor Holloway has been silently but
powerfully efecting a change in the SCI
cnce of physic which the world itself
has begun to wander at. 1t is well
known that the causes of al the diseases
and suaerings to which people are sub
ject are very few. although their irdica-
tons may be numerously varied. The
old plan of curing diseases WAS by af-
fecting their results without affecting
the primary causes. Professor Hollo-
way initiated 4 new mode of treatment
by the discovery Of MS Pits ant-ofnr-t
inent, which, whilst Immediately crap
ping with the ultimate symptoms, reach
also to the seat of the disease and Grad
icatc the first causes, thus destroying all
subsequent liability to similar affections.
We do not mean to praise these Pills
and Ointment. We conine ourselves
to stating facts, and are perfectly salts
fed that no eulogy is needed. They
speak for thcmselves.--no5He Register.

- The Directors of the Preb!e Co Inty Muta-

Annual Report to the members of the Company
and the public. feeling confident that the think
ing portion will see ut a glance, that the opera
tIons of the Company for the past 8 years have
been in a higi degree successful. Being con-
fined in its operations TO the County, it does not
present so large n business as some, but for
Soandness of financial condition and cheapness
of insurance it challenges comparison. The
Company is now entirely free from debt-all its
losses have been promptly paid, aud a small
amount remains in the hands of the Treasury.
and some out-,tandjng indebtedness which
prompt measures have been taken for its collec-
tiOa as far as colicctibie. The capital of the
Company is SI9,562 l5in Premium Notes, which
are entirely reliable, with q very good prospect

us submit Il few facts aud figures. The first
Policies OF the Company commenced running
Dec. t2th, 1850, for Is years among which were
DR.. Z. NJ. CTunc, c. Van Ausdal, William Cur
ry. W. II. II. Il. Minor, and others These pre-
sent sorle of the different classes Of property.
1t will be borne il mind that only IS per cent
of the Premium Notes have been collected, and
20 per cent. of that was for fires. and the renal
ming 3 to LAY expenses collected at the time of
issuing lie Policy. In the case Of DIR. =. NJ.
Crunc, a 'iDweiliug'' $1,000, insured at 9 per
cent, Premium Note $l95; 25 p + cent of that is
$27. which makesonly 8-3rer cent. year on the
amount insured.
C. Van AusdaI, ''Brick are and Store ROOM
$3.50, insured at 10 per cent, remium Note
81, 100; % per cent, of that is $50. which is only
5-l2 per cent. a year,, or 2}5 for 6 years on the
amount insured.
w. IL. II. u. Minor, Stock of Dry Goods in n
frame building" So. 900, insured at II per cent.
Premium Note $3.50; % per cent. OF this is $40,
which is s per cent. a year, Or 3 per cent for six
years.
William Curry, ''Brick Dwelling" 200. in
cent of this is $50. which is only 4 per cent, a
year, Or 11S per cent, on the amount insured for
the whole six. This, we think is sufficient to in
duce every man in the county 10 insure. There
is 10 one that would forego the advantage OF
having his property made safe from loss by fire
for 50 small an amount, when rightly under
stood.

SENATE.-Thc Congressional news
of Tuesday is not of much Importance.
Mr.. Pearce gave notice of his intention
to introduce a bill providing for the time
and manner Of electing Senators ofUni-
ted States by the Legislatures Of the
several States. Mr.. Rush moved the
reference of the credentials Of Mr.. Fitch
and the proceedings of the Senate and
the protest ofthe members Of the House
of Representatives of Indiana to the
Committee on Judiciary. After consid-
cradle debate the credentials and pro-
tests were referred to the said Commit
tee. The bill appropriating $4,000 for
the survey Of the Ohio and its tributa-
ries was taken up and advocted by Big
Ter, Pugh and Crittcnden, and opposed
by Jones, Of Tennessee Green and But
Ter, pending which the Senate adjourned.
HoUsE.-The House resumed consid-
Grafton of the bill establishing Collection
districts of the United States, modifying
and amending the revenue laws, &c,
which was laid on the table by a vote Of
SO to So.
The House hen again went into
of the Whole upon the Tariff
Bill.
Mr.. Boyce said in June, 1858, there
Will be a surplus revenue of$43, 900 900
spite Of extravagant appropriations
for the last few years; hence the neccssi-
ty of reducing the revenue. He asser-
ted that since 1882, there has been paid
to manufacturers, by indirect taxation,
1000, OO0, 900, and earnestly condemn
ed the protective policy.
In reply to a question by Mr., Camp
bell, of Ohio, Mr.. B. said he advocated
free trade and dirccttaxation. He knew
nothing that would contribute more to
,he grandeur of the country. The sub
he offered for the Tariff Bill was
