TINES CHAEaEs.-The inventors Of Steam
power, Railroads, and machinery have dur
ing this century changed the means aud
ecourses Of living, while The discoveries Of
science have done even more for the ad.
vancement of human happiness and the a.
meIioraiion Of human soffering. Our FORE
fathers when they were sick, drank their
bitter drugs that did not cure, and bowed
them down under diseases that are now easi-
ly broken. They tried crude roots and herbs,
which failed them. Now scientific research
has discovered that this peculiar properly Of
one root and that oil another was required.
1t is through this light, and on this principle
Dr.. Aver has compounded his two great rem.
edies-Chery Pectoral and Cathar;ic Pills.
He has concentrated The curative virtues Of
our best vegetable remedies. The result
shows their origin and their results are known
in this community. Mark The difference 10
a patent, in The lapse Of fifty years. Then
be swallowed his bitter pill in vain--now
the slck -man takes his sugared Pill or honied
Drop and soon is well @again. These adap.
tations of the sciences which be0r upon The
security or the comforts of hnman life are
after all the tangible points of their vantage
to men. Without them II matters little how
much may be discovered, or what we know

New York Commission Agency.


The V. B. PALMER & Co, have established
in connection with their office, Tribune
Buildings, New York. Commission Agency,
through which persons residing out of ihe
|<lIzxand in any Slate of the Union, will be
1tIsd 10 purchase goods al The lowest mar.
|keI ffices, and with every attention paid 10
|slylf, quality, &c. They have associated
%IlH them, gentlemen who have had great
experience in purchasing and selling goods,
of every description, and will doubtless give
satisfaction 10 all who may transact business
through their agency. They will execute
orders OF any amount, larse or small, and
for any article that can be purchased in that
city.
The necessary amount of CASH must ac.
company all orders-excepi when paymen,
can be made or delivery of The goods, which
is usually The case if sent By express--unless
the parties OF whom the goods are purchased
assume the responsibility.
To avoid delays and perplexing mistakes,
grea. care should be used in making up or.
ders, that they may be clear anu perfectly
Ineligible.
Their commission charge on orders amount.
ing TO SIS aId less. is 25 cents; exceeding Sc,
and not above $40, five per cent. On orders
of larger amount, FIVE per cent is charged
on $40 Of the same, and 81 per cent on The
balance.

The Reaction.

Every body went into business beyond his
means, and the result is a general explosion
in the money market. Banks break by The
score, and merchants aud manufacturers are
involved in the general crash. Iron manu-.
facturers sold rails 10 Railroad Compapies at
double profits, bu, for stock as pay. The
market is now glntted with such stocks and
Iue manufacturers have no money, !, % hiIe the
Railroad Company has crushing debt hang.
ing over it, for the high prices II paid for ev-
cry thing IN stock.
Prices Of all things went up 10 an unnatural
point, because credit was cheap. The expan-
sion benefited nopersons except lew sbrewd
spectators, but the depression will squeeze
many q man 10 ruin. The banks now refuse
TO discount, and the heads OF the CONNIE rcial
inieres, have The psper protested. This is
all the necessary and natural result OF de-
parture from sound principles, and the 100
free use of credit. The lesson is an old one,
All impressive one; bu, in many cases dear
bought one.
The New York Post saye: "The amount
Of floating railroad debt piled on the city oil
New York is slated, we know not on what
authority, 10 be quite as much as twepiy- four
millions OF dollars. This is mostly al enor-
nous rates of inletest--lfom Two 10 four per
cent. a month. There is, as there ought 10
be, pretty thorough collapse in railroad
slocks of the speculative class, including
some that have heretofore paid regular divi-
tends. The probability is, that many OF them
will disappear entirely fIom the market in
The course of few months. The backbone
OF our stock exchange is growing weaker
every day, and when il can no longer carry
its infations by dipping outside capitalists,
many will fall never to rise again."
eve are told, on good authority, that the
Reading Railroad Company is now paying
four per cent. month on a considerable pro-
portion, il not all of lis floating debt. Tried
by the standard Of moral recliiude, this is no
better than fraud. Many other companies are
In an equally bad or worse condition"

~ Our Black Republican conten porary,
the Lewisburg Journal, has grown immensely
eloquent over the voe for Rollins, Of Nilsson.
ii. II says.
let the cannon's peal awaken every heart
10 this truth: that the murders and outrsges
committed by Missouri Ruffians in Kansas,
under The protection of The Democratic party,
which the party in Pennsylvania pronounced
all a lie, AZ 900 homes: volers in Missouri de-
nounce and manfully condemn where the
effsc' Of their noble conduct will be most ap-
preciated-at the Ballol.box.n
The beauty of the matter about all these
halelujahs sung over Rollins is, thai while he
is trumpted as the Republican candidate, he
is the owner, as he says himself, in one of
his letters, of between twenty and thirty
slaves, and has the control of as many more
that he does not own while Stewart, the
Democratic candidate--now Governor elect
never owned slave in bis life. No doubt
Rollins is as good a Black Republican as any
OF them, and quite as sincere. Every one of
The leaders of that party, for aught they care
about the negro, wauld just as soon own him
as any other property, If their own State laws
would perm it them. But since they dare not
own him, they put him to the next best use
they can for themselves-they make an in.
srnmeut Of him TO put themselves in office.
Rollins bad this advantage over the Republi.
cans Of The free States, he owned the negro,
and made political hobby Of him beside
W'aiamspolt Ghssits.

How The Law !. vandtcated IN England

A ship lately sailed from England with a
remarkable freight. Il was q convict ship.
II bore as condemned prisoners Sir John Dean
Paul aud hls two partners, Bales and Slrahan;
Redpath, wholesale forger; Robson, The
Crystal Palace swiudisr; ard Sawasd, bar
ris,ef, who, afier successful career Of fraud,
that had lasted for more than twenty years,
had been finally detected. rhese men were
all educated, had enjoyed good social posi-
lions, and were apparently above the reach Of
suspicion. "The impd,ation Of petty false.
hood, OF mean shuffle," TO quote the words
Of a London newspaper, "wouId have filled
them with indignation; and yet, al this mo-
ment, they wear the convici's dress, and herd
with the common mob of vulgar criminals,
the touch Of whose passing garments would
once have been held foul pollution"
II must be acknowledged that, whatever
other faults Eosland may have, she at least
vindica'es The law, irrespective Of rank and in
fuence. This has been her boast for gener,
atoms. From the lines when Bacon was
stripped of bis gnities-when Strafford was
brought 10 line scaffold-when Earl Feners
was hung for numbering his steward, down 10
our own day, no station has been high enough
10 protect criminal from, the justice of an
outraged law. Neither rank, nor wealth, nor
political mpoHance--neilber the friendship
of the judges, nor connection with The high.
esl nobility, has been able 10 screen the of.
fender. The courts stand above suspicion.
Juries are free from The impuation of being
bribed. The freight Of this convict-ship is
new proof, if one was waning, tina, justice,
10 England, is Inexorable as we'll as impair
tiaI. Frard iiself--lhat vice OF modem civ
ilization, which so many consider Hpara.
lively veniai-cannoi escape.
The commonwe allhs OF these United States
might take lesson from England. Political
liberty is here in advance of what il in
Great Britain, especially political liberty in
the Northern States; but personal rights are
hardly as secure, and crime is assuredly less
certain Of punishment. We,could, if neces-
sary, quote numerous instances where men,
guilty Of crimes similar 10 those of Sir John
Dean Paul have escaped punishment. The
records Of the Courts, in This as well as in
oiher States, show how frequently justice
winks ct the release of Offenders who have
wealth OF, political influence. vainly may
we boast oil our progress, vainly compare
ourselves lriumphanlly with other people,
while these things continue among US. In
republics, even more than in monarchies, The
law must be vindicaIed; for the law, in free
governments especially, is the foundation Of
order and prosperity. Laxiiy in administer
ing the law leads to indifference Indifference
to anarchy; anarchy 10 ruin.-Lsdger.

A New Way TO Sell Books.


A fashion has started in the cities, which,
though perhaps more honored in the breach
than the observance, sometimes betides luck
10 some fellow. 1t is to sell books at the
publishers price and give the purchaser a
chance TO draw some gift worth from 25 cts.
to 500. AS the books are offered at trade
sales, the vendors can afford to distribute
gifts with them, and really do SO. They are
not such irresponsible vagrants as origina-
ted the gift concert humbug. Recently we
published an advertisement for A -Raaasy
Of New York, for which we ordered copy
of Dante as pay, thinking nothing about the
gift. The book came, and after reading
some eighty pages in it, there fell out from
the leaves three fine gold shirt studs worth
$780, a. s'o p 3n5t. ~.

adaiphja, is for an enterprise Of the same

The Opposliion Ticket.

On last Thursday all the elements of op-
position to Democracy met in the Court
House in this place to form district and
county ticket. The following gentlemen
were appointed conferees: .,
Congressional Conferees-S. E. Walton,
Jacob Melick.
Senatorial onferees--Thos E. Ewes, J. P.
Taggart.
Representative Conferees-Benj. p Fort.
ner, Andrew Madison.
There were no instructions for any candi-
dates, though motion was made to instruct
for DR.. George w. Lott for Congress. twas
voted down by vote of three TO seven, as
we are told, for we were not there. This
was unkind TO the Doctor, but probably aI106
from the fact that he has occasionally vd
the Democrats ticket, and SO far as we
learn, would not 60 into the foolish *
Nothing organization. The time for nd
ing of the conferences was fixed for the goth
September, which will be next Sunday
This must be Hindoo performance. The
following persons were nominated as coun-
~ ticket, by an indiscriminate vote of any
person who CHANGED to be present, for there
was no pretence that the voters represented
the sentiment of the people.
Protbonotary-B F. Hartman.
Register and Recorders B. Bowman.
ommissioner-Eiisha Hayman.
Treasurer-S B. Diemer.
Auditor--Gilbert H. Fowler.
Some, and perhaps all, of these men would
make competent officers, but as much can
be said ofthe Democratic nominees. Though
one of the Democratic nominees may have
been misled into the camp of the political
enemy on sererat occasions, his opponent, like
all the above ticket, is life long opponent
of Democracy. So nothing is to be made by
any Democrat supporting single nominee
of the Opposition; and the line of principle
is the only safe one.
