ting this new policy, Congress, however b..
not taken away the right OF the enrolled per.
son before the draft, to furnish a substitrto
with the qualification before stated and tins
secure his exemption from draft during ,bo
time for which his substitute shall have baon
accepted. He still has it in his power 70
exercise that right in preference to the rich,
conferred by the 23d section of the act of "a
March 1868, of obtaining recruit previous

thereby credit in the event, on any occs.
sion of his being drafted
l am OF opinion, therefore, that the DAD
section of the act of March Sd, 1865, does not
supeTsede the 4th section of the act Of Feb
ruary 24, 1864.
The second question which you have re-.
ferred to me, is, whether the recruits. which
are $50 be taken as substitutes" are to be
considered and borne upon the muster rolls
and records Of the office of the Provost Mar
shal General, as other volunteer recruits
winch arc obtained at The expense of the T.
hred states, or as substitutes which are fur
hished at the cost of the principals.

1t Will be observed, from this analyss Of the
law contained in The foregoing remarks that

only OF the nature Of substitutes. Their pri-
mary and essential character, under the law.
is that of credits for their procurers or princi

New Case Settled.

,1,.;od IVo,neu Interested.-In the
Lotto c,se of Baringer VS.. Stover, carried
m from Bucks county to the Supreme
Court of the State, new point has been
decided as to rights of married women
Jndoe Agnew, who rendered the opinion,
says:
The question in this case was "whether
married woman who has DO separate
estate or known means of payment of her
own can repurchase from purchaser at
sherifps sale the property which had been
sold as her husbands who continued In
debt, by giving a mortgage for the whole
purchase money, all of which remains
unpaid"
Judge Agnew discusses this question
at considerable length, cites numerous au-
thorities, and decides in the negative
He says, in conclusion
"We adhere to the settled doctrine that
it is only when the property acquired at
ter marriage, has been paid for with her
own separate estate, clearly and satisfac-
torily established, it is hers (the wife's) },
and is protected from her husbands credi-
tors.
"To suffer wife to purchase on credit,
is to open a wide door for fraud. Its eff.
feet to throw upon the creditors the bur
don of proving whose funds afterwards
enter into the payment For, starting
with title founded on her credit, she must
stand upon it until the husbands means
shall be shown to enter into the purchase
The judgment is affirmed"

a Paris Incident.

A young boy of sixteen years Of age,
was brought before the police court, Paris,
charged with stealing and begging in the
public streets. He was bright, Gne
looking boy, but very poorly clad, and
when brought before the judge, he fell
upon his knees and begged him not to
put him in prison that his mother was
sick and starving, and that alone had dri-
ven him to steal that he could not fiud
work and that if he was imprisoned, the
disgrace would kill his poor mother
The judge seemed somewhat moved at
the boys story, but he nevertheless, after
hearing the evidence, condemned him to
six weeks imprisonment.
AS the boy was being led away, poor
woman pale, covered with rags, and her
hair in disorder, forced her way through
the crowed, and tottering up to the boy,
passed one arm around him and then
turning to the judge, pushed back her
long black hair, and exclaimed, 'Do you
not recognize me? Thirteen years have
passed since you deserted me, leaving me
alone with my chill and my shame but
[ have not forgotten you, and this boy
you have just condemned is your son .'
You may imagine the effect thi. an
nouncement produced on the bystanders.
The judge in loud voice, ordered the
woman to be carried from the court, and
then left himself: but joined the poor
creature in the street, and carried her
and her son off in carriage.

Both branches of our State Legisla-
ture adjourned on Friday, having accom-
flished large amount of legislation dur
ing the past three mouths. 1t is said
there has never been a session during
which so many bills have been acted upon
and passed or defeated as the one just
closed. Most of the Senate bills were ac-
ted upon, bat in the House number
fell Through for want Of time. The two
most important bills which failed to pass
were the ''raid BILL" which provided for
an assessment of the damages sustained
by the citizens on the border dur
ing the rebel invasion, and the "riVer oil
scheme" to which we have referred in a
former issue. The closing hours of the
Senate were devoted to the investigation
9fan extraordinary attempt at bribery, or
Eo=e properly swiadling. Some time
since, the Atlantic and Great Western
Railroad company sent bill to Harris
burg, which in its provisions appears to
have been entirely just and proper and
would have passed without objection, it
is said From tho report Of the Senate
committee it appears that some person or
persons not connected with the Legisla-
ture obtained the sum Of $4,000 from the
company, for the purpose Of putting the
BILL through the House, and that sGbse-
quently, the additional sum of S26,000I
was asked and obtained, under the plea
ef being necessary to aid in getting the
same through the Senate. William II.
Witte and George Northrop are mentioned
in the report as having applied for the
money. There was 30 evidence that any
member Of either House had received a /
cent OF the money. The money was re
funded to the person who brought it to
Harrisburg, after the affair was made
public. According to the report there is
30 evidence to criminate the two persons
named as having applied for the money.
1t looks like very ingenious piece of
rascality, which though arrested before
Being fully accomplished, has been so
managed as TO give chance for the per-
petrators to escape. The Senate decided
to continue the investigation, and the
committee was instructed to report to the
Attorney General Of the Commonwealth.

Ayre's Ague Cure.
FOR THE SPEEDY CURE OF

Intermittent Fccer, or Fecer and Ague,
Rcmittent FeUer, Chill Feeer, Dumb
Ague, Periodical Headache or Bilious
Headache, and Bilious FeUers, indeed
for the 'chole class Of diseases oriyjna-
ting an hillary arrangement, caused by
the Malaria Of mtaSmottc countries.
Fever and Ague is not the only conse-
quence Of the miasmetie poison. A great
variety of disorders arise from its irritation,
in malarious districts, among which are Neu-
ralgIa, Rheumatism Gout. Headache, Blind
ness, Toothache, Earache, Catarrh, Asthma,
Palpitaton, Painful Affection of the Spine,
Mysteries, Pain in the Bowels, Collie, Para
lysis, and Derangement of the Stomach, all
of which, when originating in this cause put
OH the intermittent type, or become periodi-
cal. This s'CTre" expels the poison from
the blood, and thus cures them all alike. 1t
is not only the most effectual remedy ever
discovered for this class of complaints, but
it is the cheapest ard moreover is perfectly
safe. No harm can arise from its use, and
the patient when cured is left as healthy as
if he bad never had the disease. Can this
be said Of any other cure for Chills and Fe-
yer! 1t is true of this and its Importance
to those afflicted with the complaint cannot
be over estimated. So sure is it 20 cure the
Fever and Ague, that it may be truthfuly
said to be certain remedy. One Dealer
complains that it is not good medicine to
sell, because one bottle curesa whole neigh
berhood.
