known, and both of US have so long
been identified with the Union party.

interests, not by utter subserviency to
all that is said and done by those in
power, but by respectful canvass of
measures which now, more than ever,
will have an important bearing on the
future veal or woe Of this country
The war is over, it is true; but we are
by no means free from danger in the
future, unless restoration and recon
struction be put upon basis guarding
against all probability of another re-
bellion, or, what would be still worse,
an insurrection on the part of the
colored population of the South-a
measure which we honestly believe
many Of the Southern cutthroats who
inaugurated the rebellion, are now
trying their best to produce by bar
barors and cruel treatment of the on
pressed race, and by the attempted
enforcement of unequal and unjust
laws. Many of the southern people
would no doubt gladly set down to
peaceful pursuits and endeavor to adapt
themselves to the new circumstances
brought on their heads by acquiescing
in the foul deeds of the traitors who

to mind and body, bringing grateful
relaxation from business and labor,
and enabling those who toll early and
late during the week to spend at
least one day in seven in the midst
of home or friends, in church, in Sun
day school, &c. Unless extremely
poor or improvident, few but can find
both time and occasion for rational en-
joymeut during the progress of a year,
and the sober and Industrious of this
class we are sure care but little for ad
ditIonal facilities for visiting places of
public resort on that day visits which
as a general thing, tend to vice and
dissipation more than to virtuous en-
Joyment. Our opinion, with many
years of experience before US, is that
Sunday employments ought rather to
be further restrained than extended,
for if public opinion, which now holds
the major part in check, were to break
through its outward observance. there
would be no end to its open violation,
under just such pleas as the Press ad-
vocates for street cars.

A Leaf of History.

Gen. Gideon J. Pillow, noted rebel
and former patent democrat, has been
reconstructed, at least in part, and
adapted his new situation according
to circumstances, as appears by the
following letter addressed to Gen. O.
o. Howard, Commissioner of Freed
men:
NASHVILLE, Tenn, Dec %, 1868.
1t affords me pleasure to inform you that

sanguine expectations il engaging labor

Tennessee. | have already engaged about
400 freedmen, and have full confidence IN

for the cultivation of vegetables and corn

had needed that number. My brother,
who adopted my plan of work, succeeded
in engaging laborers for three places he ia

1t appears from this that he engages
northern white laborers "upon precise

therefore, according to the lights OF

PILLS THAT ARE PERFECT.

There are many good pills in the world,
we hope, for the sake of humanity, but the
pills that are really perfect, because they are
aperient, tonic, laxative. stimulant, counter
irritant, sudorfc, and Alternative all the same
time, are Railways Regulating Pills, sold
everywhere, and for only % cents a box
With these rare pills in your house, you can
do without purging by means of other pills
or powders. You can do without salts, sed-
litz, castor. oil, citrate of magnesia, senna and
mama, and so on. You want none of these.
Railways Regulating Pills are a substitute
for the whole of them and, what is better,
may be taken with safety and comfort by the
most delicate woman as we'll as the robust
man. They are the only vegetable prepara
ton existing which will answer in place of
calomel regulating the action of the liver,
without making yon life long victim to the
use of mercury or blue pill. They open the
bowels in proper and wholesome manner,
being composed of the extracts of suitable
mcdicaments, They do not purge violently,
like the drastic pills of aloes. or Croton or
Harlem oil, or elaterum. by irritating the
coats Of the intestines. They are, we repeat
the "perfec" pill of the age, and, when ia.
ken; keep all the secretions in healthy con-
dition, compel the organs to do their duty
with regularity, purify the blood. and secure
that inestmable blessing. sound health
There is nothing like Railways Regulating
Pills for the cure of all disorders of the
stomach, liver, bowels, kidneys, and bladder;
for nervous diseases. headache, cnstiveness,
indigestion, bilious fever. piles, and all de
rangements of the internal viscers. For Is
cents "a box you have in those pills panacea
for some of the most painful and dangerous
Of all diseases. Sold by Druggists.
n. B.-Dr. Railways pills are elegantly
coated with gum. are free from taste or smell
and peculiarly adapted for the use of all who
are averse to taking pills. A child can swal
low them with ease: they are mild soothing
and healing in their operation, they purge
disease thoroughly from the system. Every
family should keep them in the house. 2w.

4 discussion, with pistols, took place

The Adams express car which left
New York for Boston on Saturday
evening, was robbed somewhere be
tween those two cities. 1t is supposed
the thieves got into the car before it
left New York. Money and bonds to
the value Of $500, 900 were taken. The
safes were all blown open. Some
$4,000 in greenbacks, and a large
amount OF bonds were scattered around
the floor. The car was an iron one.
The robbery was not discovered until
it reached Boston.
The only two countries in Europe
where highway robbery is still sys-
tematic business, carried on in defiance
Of the authorities, are Naples and
Greece. In the latter country it is on
the increase A few weeks ago three
English travellers, of noble birth, were
captured by the brigands in Livada.
One was detained as hostage, and the
other two sent on their way to procure
money 10, their ransom. After some
negotiation, the matter was settled by
each OF the gentlemen paying 81, 900,
making an aggregate amount which
should support a large band of brigands
for some time in such splendor as their
representatives in opera and mclo-
drama always display. The London
Times appeals to the interests of the
Greek people to have a stop put to
such doings, unless they wish English
tourists to avoid their shores alto
gether.
The Soldiers and Sailors National
Union League OF Washington, has is
sued an address urging all honorabIy-
discharged soldiers and sailors to pre-
serve their discharge papers, and not
to part with them to spectators for
any sum. This advice has the official
endorsement of Hon. J. Broadhcad,
Second Comptroller who has address
ed a communication to the Pavmaster
General az follows: 1t has been brought
to my notice that certain claim agents
are advertising that they are engaged
in the collection of extra bounty, from
two to three hundred dollars, for sol
diers who enlisted in 1861 and 1862,
and all other times when only one
hundred dollars were paid, and are
thus fraudulently obtaining possession
OF soldiers discharges. In no case,
except that Of veterans, has the extra
bounty referred to been authorized,
nor can it be paid without further leg
slation; and it is very important that
soldiers should not part with their dis
charges through misrepresentation
of their rights | would therefore re
spectfully suggest the propriety of
giving official notice that in no case,
except as above,- is soldier who en-
listed prior to June 25, 1868, entitled
TO more than one hundred bounty.

1ewistown, Jan. 10, 1866.

Quite a controversy lately sprung
up in Philadelphia between a number
Of leading ministers and the publisher
of The Press, in consequence Of the
latter issuing q Sunday paper The
clergymen naturally took the ground
that such publication was a desecra-
tion of the Sabbath, and accordingly
requested Forney to discontinue it;
while the latter contends that nearly
all the work is done on Saturday
that it's reading is good and useful to
the religious community-and that
more work is done on Sunday on a
Monday paper than one published on
the first day. Since then others have
participated in the strife, and hard
words given on both sides. The Press
has also brought in another issue, and
now advocates the running of street
cars on Sundays, which it justities on
various grounds. We have read all on
both sides that has thus far been pub
lished, and believe The Press in the
main is wrong, by placing a matter of
convenience to the public before ahigher
obligation, for turn and twist the sub
ject as you may, it resolves itself into
the simple question, "Is there Chris
tian Sabbath, and ought it to be OBJ
served" The laws of Pennsylvania
recognize it, and accordingly prohibit
all unnecessary secular employment
Why, then, should a proprietor of
newspaper be allowed to follow his oc-
cupation in preference to a carpenter,
shoemaker, blacksmith, or other me-
chanic? We know from personal
experience there is no necessity for do,
ing any work on Monday morning
paper on Sunday, for all that is wanting
to secure its outward observance is for
the publishers of all daily papers to
enter into an agreement to cease work
on Saturday evening, and not to com
mence again until after II o'clock at
night on Monday which would be doing
no more than is done, by general ac-
quiescence; by almost every other bus
mess or occupation followed Again,
why should soulless corporation be
suffered to run street cars on Sunday?
The Press says to accommodate those
who have no time to rccreate during
the week. But how about those who
may have no money to spend? And
suppose those who do go should get
dry and want something to drink, or
want a feast? Would the Press give
the same right to the rumshops it claims
Tor itself and passenger railwavs?-
Besides, why close the stores? The
people he speaks OF may have as little
time during the week to go shopping as
to go on pleasure trips The recrimina-
ton that sundry clergymen and reIi-
gious people ride in their carriages and
feast on Sundays is no argument at all
If there is Christian Sabbath and thew
do wrong, it is no justification for eth.
er The Press or passenger railways to
do likewise
Even passing over the religious view
of the question, we believe the genera
observance of Sunday by all classes
viewed morally, is measure beneficial

A Uniform Series of School Books

The general committee appointed by the
School Directors convention held in Lew

tional Hotel, in Lewistown, January 4,

Guilty IN coming TO a conclusion in regard

Among the numerous works on the subject
which have been before the committee, is
one by Mr.. Parker of Philadelphia, not
yet entirely completed. On examining the
proof sheets, the committee were rather
favorably impressed, and ir view of the
great importance of having a grammar
suited to the wants of our schools, they
deemed it expedient to postpone tinal &C
ton in this matter until SIR Parker's
grammar is published in full and we and
the teachers have mn opportunity of giving
it complete and thorough examination.
The grammar will be out iu about two
