Schenck's Seaweed Tonic.

This medicine, invented By Dir. J. II. ScHENeK,
OF Philadelphia, is intended to dissolve The food
and make it into chymc, the first process of ind-
gestion. BY cleansing the stomach with Schentk's
Mandrake Pills, the Tonic soon restores the appe-
re, and food that could not be eaten before using
j, will be easily digested.
Consumption cannot be cured by Scnenek' s
Puimonic Syrup unless the stomach and liver is
made heathy and the appetite restored, hence the
Tonic and Pills are required in nearly every case
OF cons sumption. A half dozen bottles of the SEA
WEED TONIC and three or four boxes of the
MANDRAKE PILLS will cure ordinary case
OF dY dyspepsia.
DR.. ScHENeK makes professional visits in New
York, Boston, and and at his principal Office in
Philadelphia every week. See daily papers OF
each place, or his pamphlet on consumption for
his DAYS for visitation.

Re The acquiescence in and approval

III The acquiescence in and approval
OF the reconstruction measures of Congress
by the masses of the northern people, SO
tar as they relate exclusively to the ssrebel
States" emboldcns the radical leaders to
extend their tyrannical sway over all the
States that have refused to give to the ne
gro equal political rights and social privi-
leges with the white man. On the eve
ming of the adjournment Of Congress old
Thad Stevens and others were serenaded
by the coming man. and his degenerate
white brethren. Speaker Colfax was tie
chief orator. He assured the serenadcrs
that "the Republican party has declared
that equal suffrage shall exist in the Dis
trict of Columbia and the Southern States.
Now they must do for the North as they
have for the South, and impose suffrage
upon every State. Thus it is that Repub-
licans must accept the situation"
If the Imperial Congress, regardless of
the teachings Of the statesmen of former
days aud in violation of the provisions of
the late Constitution "the Constitution of
the past" as Mr.. Stevens terms it-can
compel the South to accept negro suffrage,
under the pretext that no State Govern
ment is Republican" that does not pro-
vide for such suffrage, why may they not,
nay, why should they not, compel all the
States to adopt negro suffrage? and why
may they not place any State or States re-
fusing to adopt such Republican" form
of Government under the control of mill
tary satraps. as they have done in the
South? If it is right that the Southern
people should be compelled, per- fas ct ne
.fas, to ''accept the situation it is no less
right that the Northern States should be
required to conform their organic laws to
the principles embodied in the reconstruct
ton acts of Congress; otherwise, when the
Southern States shall have been restored 10
the embrace of the ':best government the
world ever saw" with their mougrel con-
situations, there will exist inequalities and
clements Of disccrd that must prove fatal
to the future peace and prosperity of the
country. BY. all means, then, ought the
Imperial Congress to compel the refracto-
yloyal States to "accept the situation"
1t will have tendency to soften the aspe-
rites created by these acts: ''misery loves
company"

The Ghost Of the past Constitution.

Old Thad. Stevens, in the course of
some remarks in Congress the other day.
ridiculed those Of his Republican colleagues
who seemed to hesitate to follow him to the
extreme length Of his revolutionary pro-
gramme. and spoke of them as being
haunted by 'the ghost of the past Consti-
tuition" He boldly announced that the old
Constitution was "shattered' and over
thrown-that he for one never looked into
it for authority for his acts.
Well, it may be good amusement now
for MIR Stevens to ridicule his colleagues
for being scared at the "ghost of the past
Constitution but the time may come when
that same "ghost" will return to torment
his own guilty and perjured soul. Old as
he is he may yet live to see the day when
all indignant people will rise i'll their males
ty, with the ghost Of the past Constitu-
ton" inscribed upon their banners, to drive
the isurpers and destroyers of their coun-
try's liberties from the high places Of pow
erwl'ich they have disgraccd Then it may
be that old 1'had. will again find it neces-
sary to make his exit through a "back
window" as Oh a former memorable occa-
sion, and seek safety hy fleeing from the
wrath Of the people Or if he should escape
punishment in this life, we doubt not, that
in the "bottomless pitt to which he is has
tenins the ''ghost Of the past Constitution
will be ever present with him to remind
him of the solemn oath he took while upon
earth ito preserve, protect and defend"
that sacred instrument which afterwards he
did all in his power to overthrow AMI de-
stroy. Thus will his punishment be COM

From the National lntelligencer.
General Butler Pushed to the wall

1t will be remembered that General
Butler, while Congress was still in session.
seized upon miner article of the Intelli-
gencer, based entirely upon interpretations
in the House Of Representatives, to de-
nounce it in phraseology consistent with
practice in the lower ranks Dy what are
termed "Tombs" lawyers.
The lntelligencer, Of course, could not
retort i'll kind. Bearing upoll the whole
subject of the exchange of prisoners, the
following letter of Colonel Robert Ould, the
Confederate agent of xchangc, whose state
ments will be relied upon by all men who
know him, will show that General Butler
himself was greatly il, error ii, lis premises.
lie forgot to state that the most important
part Of the correspondence in reference to
the exchange Of prisoners occurred between
Colonel Ould and Generals Hitchcock and
milford during the period when the
Confederate agent ofexcilange was forbid
den by his Government to ncgotiate with
General Butler IL reference TO the question
of exchange; ~
