News Tor Printers.

Mr.. d. L. Sitton, of this coaaty.
formerly Pressman in our Office, has in
vented Il new kind of printing press
This invention is an Improvement OH
the hand-press, and will save at least
one-third, if not one-half, of the labor
which is now required to work it, and
will easily print two papers to the ordi
nary hand-presscs one. By request VIC
called to see this truly great inycntio~.
Though put up very rough, it works
finely. 1t is very simple in its struct-
ure, and will prove to be as great a ben
eft to the world as Morse's eIectro-mag-
netic telegraph, if not greater.
The working ofa hand-press has here
toforc been the most laborious work
connected with a printing-office, and an
adherence to the ." craft" but by this
invention this drcdcd task will be made
a light one.
This invention dispenscs with the
frisket altogether, also the handle or
lever, and the rounce, and many other
sidered as indispensable on the hand
press. The pressman, instead of run
ming backward and forward, as hereto
fore, will remain stationary. The bed
of the press is run under by a wheel,
which stands under, or rather by the
side of the tympan, and by pushing
down a lever which is attached to this
wheel, the impression is taken; hen
the bed is again run out by this wheel,
when the tympan springs back to its
proper position, the paper then drops
down itself, between the bottom of the
tympan and the bed of the press. This
is but an imperfect description, but
shows the main points, and every typo
can see the advantage this new inven-
ton will have over the hand-presses
now used. We, perhaps, will give a
better idea of it at another time.
Mr.. S. viii take steps Immediately to
secure a patent for this invention.
This is something worthy of note,
and is news for the whole world, and we
know will cheer the dropping spirits of
that great and noble craft-the typos

ROYALTY OF EVIDENCE.
OR THE WORLD IN THE w1TNEss-Box.

Diverse as are the opinion of mel
even of the same age and country abou
subjects apparently the simplest ant
least liable to miscontruction, it is no
to be wondered at that a universal con.
currence of mankind in favor of an,
problem should be regarded as (to use
lawyers term, a "royal evidence" off
truth. Indeed, so conclusive is THU
concurrence deemed, that many thee"
logians urge it upon the attention Of
materialists and skeptics as a resistless
argument in favor of divinity.
In fact upon only two propositions
can we obtain the universal concurrence
of humanity; upon all other points and
questions mankind have agreed to diff
fer"
In the existence ola Supreme Creator,
all tribes and races ofmen concur. They
give him different attributes in accord
ance with their peculiar tastes; but in
the general belief that there is a God,
they are unanimous.
In the efficacy of Holloway's Univer-
sal Remedies a like unanimity exists
in the opinion of the world. All coun-
tries, tribes, and races upon earth en-
ploy these remedies and derive benefit
from their use. Millions Of savages to
whose ears the very name of Christ has
never yet been whispered, are familiar
with the properties and powers of Hol-
loway's external and internal remedies.
The missionaries of health have prece-
ded those of the Gospel; and in number
less instances, the physical relief i'm
parted by the former has obtained and
secured favorable audience for the more
abstract and intangible blessings which
the latter sought an opportunity to be-
stow.
Our readers when they hear that Hol-
loway's medicines are employed by cv-
cry people, and advertised in every ton
que on earth, may smile contemptuously
Gas We did,) and think the tale a hum
bug:-but let them be convinced Gas we
have BEEN that it is nothing but the
nakcdtruth. Wherever types and print
ing presses exist. Professor Holloway
employs them to proclaim the sterling
merits of his remedies:-wherever they
do NOT exist, he has employed accom-
plished Interpreters, and established spe-
cial organs to make known his discov-
cry; tongues to which the Bible is a
stranger, are eloquent with the name and
of the great physician who has
scattered gifts of healing over all lands
and seas.
The world is the witness-box and gives
enthusiastic evidence in favor of Prof.
I~iolloways remedies; and let those who
would impugn such testimony be eau
sious-for, in so doing, by a parity of
they strike at the very founda-
lions of religion and morality. The

NEW York, Monday, March 16.
The Herald's Washington correspon.
dent says hat the. President received
last evening a Geographic dispatch from
Governor Geary, dated at St. Louis, in,
forming him that he had resigned the
Go~vernorship of Kansas, to take effect
on the last of this month. He does MOI
state the reasons which had induced
him to pursue this course.
The President is perfectly aware what
his reasons are. He has encountered
difficulties and embarrassments evel
since he had the row with Judge LIE
compile, and asked General Pierce to re-
move him. He promised to do it, but
never did, at least Gov. Geary performs
all the functions of his office in that
Territory.
Governor Geary will be in Washing
ton in a few days, when the Admins
tration will urge upon him to change
his mind and go back; and, if he desires,
Lecompte and every other ofice-holder
in the Territory, who has thrown any
cmbarrassments in his way, will be re-
moved.
A large number of citizens of Ohio,
now in this city, held a meeting this af-
ternoon at Browns Hotel, and adopted
resolutions of respect to the memory of
the late Hon. d. L. Disney.
Messrs. Burt, Pugh, Campbell, Hen
erickson and Trevitt were appointed a
committee to accompany his remains to
Cincinnati.
4 distinguished Pennsylvania office
holder was presented to Mr.. Buchanan
on Saturday, by several prominent De-
mocratic friends, with the request that
he should be reappointod.
The reply was, emphatically, that the
North and West demanded rotation in
Office, and that would be his rule of ac-
ton. In the South it was different

The Burdell Murder.

II The New York correspondent of the
Boston Gazette thus writes:
Ialso paid a visit to Mrs. Burde.l, who
receives a large number of visitors daily.
and converses with great freedom. A
friend of hers was present, who was for
merly a resident of Boston, who assured
me that the reports which have been in
circulation regarding the death of Mr..
Cunningham, the former husband of
Mrs. BuTdeil, are unfounded. He as
sured me that he was with him during
the last weaaks of his illness, and that
he died a natural death. The daughters
visit their mother daily, and reports of
their good looks l can confirm. They
speak of Snodgrass as q foolish, talka-
tive boy, who rattles along without much
regard to what he says. Mrs. Burdell
is very much composed, pays great at
t~ention to her toilet, but her cell is a re-
proach to New York, for it is infected
with bugs and vermin. Eckel is also in
the tombs and enjoys all the luxurics of
life, except ardent spirits, which he says
he does not miss. He is an inferior
looking man, and I should judge does
not possess sufficient physical power to
attempt murder.
1t is the opinion of many that they
will both be acquitted, and thatthe Bur
dell mystery will forever remain a mys-
terry unless the city offers a large reward
for the perpetrators, with a promise of
protection to any connected with the
matter who shall turn States evidence.

An interesting debate took place in
Parliament upon Lord Derby's motion
of eensure on the Chinese war. The re-
suit was: For the motion, ITO; against it,
146.
Mr.. Golden brought forward a mo-
ton in the House of Commons similar
similar to Lord Derby's, namely, that
this House has heard with concern the
conflicts which have occurred between
the British and Chinese at Canton, and,
without expressing any opinion as to
what extent the Chinese may have Of
Tended England, this House considers
that the papers laid upon the table fail
is establish satisfactory grounds for the
violent measures recently resorted to at
Canton; that a select committee be APP
pointed to inquire into our commercial
relations with China.
The debate lasted two nights.
Lord Palmerston, in reply to Mr.. Lay
ard, said he was authorized by the Rus
sian Minister for for Foreign affairs to
say that there was no treaty in existence
between Persia and Russia as that re-
ferred to recently by Mr.. Layard, and
that the negotiations at Paris on the
Persian difficulty were not vet ended.
