CLOTHES WRINGER AND WAsHER.-Among the
various machines for wringng and washing clothes
we have noticed with especial interest "'rhe Unver-

They were both on exhibition here at the recent
Fair and regarded with peculiar favor OF the former
the committee on premiums say, From the numerous
trials made with them and from the evidence of
their durability and capacity for doing all kinds of
work, we consider the Universal Clothes Wringer
superior to all others exhibited Of the latter they
say, of the three Washing Machines exhibited, VIC are
of opinion that Doty's, has the greatest merit. A
Diploma was awarded for each of these machines
These machines have for some time been for sale at
Davenport and Mansurs in this village, and we under
stand have given entire satisfaction to those who have
bought and used them Those who are in want of
either of these labor saving machines will do well to
call and examine for themselves.

Entirely new bills containing ena-
bling acts for the admission OF the two
new States of Colorado and Nebraska
Were yesterday presented, and it is sun
posed that they will pass by constitu-
tional majorities in both branches. The
gentlemen elected to the Senate from
Colorado, appeared before the caucus OF
Union Senators few days ago, and
made most favorable impression by
their general statements. President
johnson is reported to have said that
he has never examined the Nebraska
bill, which came to him about the add
jOGrnment of Congress, and which he
failed to return within ten days after
the meeting of the present session.
Some hopes are entertained that he may
allow both bills to become laws, either
with or without his signature. The
population Of the two Territories is so
rapidly increasing that il will require a
bold man to find "a fair reason against
their admission into the Union of the
States.

Renncrlnn Of : E,cr.nr nrns-

a Washington correspondent of the
Philadelphia Press writes thus concern
ing McCulloch and his policy:
feel free in stating that the theory
of Secretary McCulloch, which looks to
the payment of onr colossal debt by the
generation which has sacrificed so
much blood and treasure. is almost uni
versally repudiaied by the Republican
lnajorities in both Houses. Especially
abhorrent to them is the argument upon
which this bill is maintained, that the
debt should be paid because it is hui
initiation to our beloved brethren in
the South. Hence, you may anticipate
a very thorough reduction in many of
the burdensome internal revenue taxes.
Every days experience shows that it is
the part at once ofstatesmanship and of
humanity to lessen these heavy loads.
Nothing depresses business more than
these taxes. In many cases they invite
fraud, and give color to the grossest op-

THE London correspondent of the
Boston Adrcrtiser says that the sympn-
pnthies of Minister Adams, to the
nmazement of everybody there, arc,
and have been all through, with Mr..
johnson. The writer says the embassy
just now is in rather low spirits over
the late election in the United States,
aud adds:
The friends of the North are stagger-
cd at finding this to be so in Mr..
Adams's case. His family associations
and his own declared sentiments re-
gnrding the South in past times, have
made it seem almost Incredible. To
Mr.. Adams himself, il must be n little
distressing tOtind that these new views
have practically separated him from
those whose sympathy WAS so grateful
during the war. lie has with him here,
only and without exception, those
classes who detest American republic
cnnism, who are especially annoyed ut
the failure oithe coniederacy, and who,
could they be transferred 10 American
soil, would choose Northern copper
heads and Southern planters to bp their
chiefs. On the continent Mr., Adams
must have found opinion in the same
condition. Out ofthe society orconfed-
crate cmigrCs he would meet with none
ON this matter whom he could hail as
kindred spirits.

Warrington Gossip.

The recent interviews of Secretary
Seward with Mr.. Thaddeus Stevens
are explained at last. 1t appears that
the Secretary has asked for special
appropriation of s25O,00 to allow his
department to prosecute certain cases
now pending in both England and
France, for the recovery of large
amounts of property belonging right
fully 10 the United States, and also TO
defray the expenses of hunting John
II. Surratt. Mr.. Stevens was today in
stTucted by his committee to bring in IA
bill for that purpose, which he will re-
port Tomorrow. Many ask that it be
put upon its passage. 1t appears that
the appropriation for this amount is
absolutely necessary. and Mr.. Stevens
has promised to put it through the
House without delay.
1t is stated, on good authority, that
the President has signed the necessary
papers pardoning Colonel f. L. Pauld-
ing, late Paymaster in the army, who
was convicted last summer before n
cOurt-martial for disobedience Of or
ders, and sentenced to years confine-
nent at Fort Henry and to paw fine
OF $4,000. It will be remem bered that
colonel landings offence was in de-
posting several hundred thousand dol
lars contrary to orders in the Merchants
National Bank, of which Leonard
iuyck was President, upon the failure
of which bank the Government was
loser to "a very large amount.
The Pay Department, on Saturday,
| commenced paying claims for the ex-
ira bounty to soldiers under the act of
July 2S, 1865, and payments will con-
! tinue TO be made as fast as the neces-
! sary information can be obtained from
the other departments. The claims
which have thus far been taken up
| were from the States of New York, Ohio
and Pennsylvania, and the regiments
belonging 10 theIveteranlReserve Corps,
and the regular Army. 1t is useless
for claimants TO annoy the department
with inquiries regarding their claims.
Such inquiries will not facilitate their
payment.
n volunteer soldier, who died in No
vember last, bequeathed to II person, to
whom he was indebted for attendance
during his illness, his claim to extra
bounty. The accounting officers of the
Government hold that the act of July
IS, 1865, creates no inheritance either by
descent'or by will beyond what IS there
in expressly asserted. The legatee in
the case referred to cannot, therefore,
Inherit the extra bounty bequeathed by
the soldier. 1t has also been decided
that officers and soldiers who decline
TO accept transportation in kind upon
muster out, have no claim to travel
pay, &c, TO place of enrolment.

THE forthcoming report of the Audi

that State to be ten millions of dollars
less than in 1865. So says an Indian

the resources of Indiana must be very
considerable.
