LARGEST CITY CIRCULATION.

Saturday Evening. Sept. 29. 1866
OUR ROUTES.

We are now making arrangements to
extend all the routes on the PUBLIC
LEDGER, and add new ones in the su-
burbs, by which we hope to be able to
supply all who may wish to take cheap
and reliable evening journal. Should
any of our patrons be overlooked by our
carriers during the next ten or twelve
days, they will please make the fact
known at our counting room. Our cir
culation has been of late so great as to
make the paper reach some portions OF
the city at very late hour. We have
made arrangements to overcome this, by
ordering faster machinery, which we are
now expecting daily, and on its arrival
the paper will be served at an earlier
hour at all points within the city and
suburbs. rs

DISEASES nothing can be more productive Of
cure than these Pills. Their almost magic in
huence is ielt at once; and the usual concomi-
tants Of this most distressing disease are re-
moved. These remedies are made from the
purest VEGETABLE COMPOUNDS. They
will not harm the most delicate female and can
be given with good effect in prescribed doses to
the youngest babe. FOR CUTANEOUS bis
ORDERS and all eruptions of the skin the

externally alone, but penetrates with the most
searching effects TO the very root Of the evil.

From Washington.

On Monday, the 10th inst, the bill to al
ter the time of meeting of Congress was
passed, by vote of 1874 yeas TO 20 nays
1t provides for the meeting of the XLth
Congress at noon on the 4th of March, 1867,
directly after the Speaker declares the pres
ent Congress at an end. The Clerk, Mr..
Mcpherson, will then Immediately Call the
roll of the XLth Congress.
There is the best authority for saying that
the President has positively determined not
to interfere in the case of Jeff. Davis by Or
dering his release on parole, hut that he will
remain where he is until arrangements can
be made for his trial some time during the
ensuing Spring.
The Louisiana Loyalists have addressed a
petition to Congress, asking the reorganiza-
ton of that State.
The Star of the 18th says that the posi-
ton taken by Mr.. Stevens, of Pennsylvania
us of JEFF. Davis, is the general topic of con
versation to-day. Mr.. Stevens said he did
not believe that Mr.. Davis could he tried for
treason. nor that he had been guilty of trea-
son. His otfensc was that of IA beligerent,
not of IA traitor, and he was utterly opposed
to passing laws to hang man, passed after
his offense, and for the purpose of hanging
him. 1t is understood that other leading
Republicans will take the same ground with
Mr.. Stevens.
In another column will be seen tele-
graphic synopsis of a bill introduced by Mr..
Stevens, of Pa, on Thursday, to reorganize
the government of this State Evidently the
synopsis is not full one. Our readers will
soon have an opportunity of reading the bill

The Sentinel Of the 18th complains bitterly
of the President, Gen. Howard and Military
Commandments because of the recent order
prohibiting corporal punishment. We trust
the matter may he amicahly settled.
And yet the reflection is forced home upon
us by recent events. that there used to lie a
time when the people of North Carolina had
a Governor who possessed some influence at
Washington; anG who did not need to jour
ney thither in order to get a hearing before
the Executive of the Nation.
This, however, is a matter between Gov.
Worth and the authorities, which he must
settle and we trust it will he accomplished
in such Il manner as to give general satisiilc
ton But as he has not been invited to
Washington City, we should not he surpris-
ed if he returned shortly with flea in his car
Nor do we perceive any good reason why

partment. for really our secession friends may
bless their stars that they have been treated
