sCHENCK.s sE "a TONIC.

This medicine, invented by DIR. ]. H.
Schenck, of Philadelphia, is intended to dis
solve the food and make it into, chyme, the
first process of digestion. By cleansing the
stomach with Schenck'S Mandrake Pills, the
Tonic soon restores the appetite, and food
that could not be eaten before using it will be
easily digested.
Consumption cannot be cured by Schenck's
PulmOnic Syrup unless the stomach and
liver is made healthy and the appetite restor-
ed, hence the Tonic and Pills are required in
nearly every case of consumption. a half
dozen bottles of the SEAWEED TONIC and
three or four boxes of the MANDRAKE
PILLS will cure any ordinary case of dys-
pepsia.
DIR. Schenck makes professional visits in
New York, Boston, and at his principal office
in Philadelphia every week. See daily pa
pers of each place, or his pamphlet on con-
sumption for his days for visitation.
Please observe, when purchasing, that the
two Licensees or the Doctor, one in the last
stage OF Consumption, and the other as he
now is, in perfect health, are on the Govern
ment stamp.

Lucy Stone Returns Thanks for Job
stuart Mills, RDeech

Lucy Stone Returns Thanks for John
stuart Mills Speech
Lucy Stone writes to thank the edi-
tors of the New York Post, for publish
ing the late admirable speech of John
Stuart Mills-the same that appeared
in the INTELLIGENCER of Tuesday, and
says of it that
"It is like the shadow ola great rock
in weary land" 1t so completely an
swers all the stale objections which
have been persistently used against
woman's claim to political equality,
that one hopes not even their ghost may
appear again.
say: SIT begins to look, in England
and here, as though women would be
made voters whenever they choose to
demand the suffrage"
If there is any way better or different
from that which women have used to
show how earnestly they, desire the
suffrage, we should like to know it. We
have petitioned the legislatures of every
northern State so often and during so
many years, that if the names could to-
day be Joined in one long list, they
would literally extend miles in length.
On behalf of those petitioners, we have
personally appeared before committees
of the legislatures of Maine, Massachu-
sets, New York, and New Jersey,
using every argument for woman's suf-
rage which could be urged in accord
ance with our theory of government.
| we nave held conventions and sent
lecturers everywhere. We have circu-
iated tracts upon the subject by tens of
Ihousah9s. The able argument by the
lamented wife of John Stuart Mill on
the Northumberland of Wonen we
reprinted from the Westminster Re-
UieW, and scattered it, like autumn
! leaves, all over the North, Dnring GO
many years has this been done that
they, who came with fair young cheeIs
and offered youth, health and strenutb
for this sacred cause, to-day are crown
ed with gray hairs, and burrows are on
all their faces. Their work has been
suspended only when the din Of battle
and the roar of cannon drowned every
other utterance.
When the war was over and the Gov
eminent was to be reconstructed, we
again urged our claim for suffrage by
petitions, tracts, lectures. &c.
What more can we do2 Must every
individual woman demand suffrage be-
fore any of the thousands who have
demanded it can be allowed to exer-
else it?
"All political power inheres in the
people," Women are people. "Gov-
ernments derive their just power from
the consent of the governed" Women
are governed, and should give their
consent. And suffrage is consent. g.
The exercise of this inherent political
power, of this consent of the governed
has been denied to us through no fault
of ours. Are not those who have with.
held it in honor bound to confer it,
whether we all ask or not2 Should moi
good men, irrespective of party, see &c
II that their mothers are not placed pc.
litically lower than negroes, lower than
the great mass of ignorant men who
can neither read nor speak our Ian.

Thurlow Weed, of the Commercial,
we may add, is ungallant enough to
oppose the women. His argument is
"Oi what value is a ballot to a wo-
man If her sex Is proscribedP The bal
lot is worthless II she is restricted in
her choice. 1t would be tyranny
worse than the existing tyranny-to of
fer woman ballot, and yet require
her to cast 1t for a man! This is not
what Elizabeth Cady Stanton and An
toinette Brown mean. They vote for

Female suffrage means female Office

which the question should be viewed
by both sexes. OF course it contem-

and wife. 1t changes the objects and
pursuits of women. Those who are
now, in the state Of 'numbness"desc
ed by Mr.. Mill, will be awakened 10

for Alderman, Mayor, member of the
Legislature, member of Congress,
Governor, or even President.
Perhaps this may be regarded as an
exaggerated picture. But it is not. 1t
is plain, logical deduction. Establish
female suffrage and the rest follows
just as inevitably as the negro suffrage
and negro elections to Office follow ne
gro emancipation. We do not, of course
couple these questions Extensively.

OF all the petitions we ever remember
to have encountered, the one below is
the most extraordinary, both in its lam
guage and in the reasons it gives why
jeff Davis should be pardoned. 1t
urges as an argument for pardon that
Davis "is willing to obey the Govern
ment he once detied and is anxious to
restore the same, and the document is
"done in the name of our Lord Jesus
Christ, by Paul Bagley, Missionary
from China, Japan, and elsewhere"
Garrett Davis, of KY, concurs in the
prayer. This extraordinary document
reads as follows:
Your ExCELLENCY: Forasmuch as I
have no doubt that Jefferson Davis,
now a prisoner in Fortress Monroe, is
willing to obey the Government he once
6efied and anxious to restore the same,
therefore your Excellency is hereby
prayed to extend of executive clemency
to the said Jefferson Davis full, free
and complete pardon for all his past
rebellion; and your suppliant will ever
pray the blessings of Almighty God
upon your Excellency, our Government
and our common country. All of which

AN examination of witnesses was
held few days ago at the Mayors
office in Pittsburgh, in regard to the
claim of Hamill that the recent race be-
tween himself and Brown was not fair
on the part ofthe latter. Seven witnesses
gave their testimony, the general drift
OF which was that Brown "jockeyed"
his competitor all the way round. One
man testified that he was in Browns
guide boat at the race and that Brown
asked them "to get ahead of Hamill
during The race, and give him the
splash of their oars" Another wit
ness, who was introdced to Brown be-
fore the race, says:
"He spoke to me about Hamill's
style and manner ofrowing, and asked
me in what Hamilrs success lay. 1 told
him that Hamill generally got ahead
and managed to retain his position,
when he BROWN said he would get
ahead if he could, and if HamiII pass
ed him he would have to row over him.
He left me under the impression that
he would not let HamilI pass him, fair
or foul"
Other testimony is of a similar char
acter, and HamilI claims that his charge
in sustained. The decision of the re-
fierce is, however, irrevocable, and it is
well enough to remember that Brown
has always claimed that Pittsburgh has
been unfriendly to him, and that this
evidence gives only one side of the
question.

A STARTLING DECREASE IN THE
REVENUE.

Monthly Taxes on Manufactures and
PrOducfs..-A Falling Off of Forty
Per Cent. from Last Year.
From The ". y Herald.
The following tables are made up
from the monthly lists, consisting
mainly of the taxes assessed upon man
ufactures and productions. These are
returned and paid monthly, while in
comes are returned and paid annually.
The new tax law, with reduced rates
and large additions to the free list,
went into operation March 2, 1867. The
returns below are from nearly all the
districts of New York, and many dis
tricts in Massachusetts, Connecticut,
Rhode Island, New Jersey, Pennsyl.
vania and Maryland. They embrace
the two months of the present year
during which the tax law has been in
operation. Comparing March and
April, 1867, with the corresponding
months of 1866, we find falling off of
over forty per cent. The income re-
turns show decline of more than forty
per cent, but averaging forty per cent.
on the decrease all round, the income
from internal revenue for 1867 will be

FRIDAY MORNING, June 4.
TaE CIarks6urg Telegraph dis

THE CIarksburg Telegraph dis
ousses the interest law in excellent
spirit. With all due Difference to its
criticism upon the late remarks of the
INTELLIGENcER, we must say that our
cotempOrary fails to make what we es-
TEEN essential points in its article. We
desire 10 know how banks or individ-
uals are to be compelled to lend their
money at six per cent. interest If It is
worth more, and they can get more for
iS The Telegraph may tell us that
nominally the rate in bank will remain
NJ six per cent, and that actual dis
counts will be and are now made at
that figure. We admit the assertion in
advance, but the fact, If such we may
call it, is more apparent than real.
Those who get Recommendations in bank
at six per cent. are nearly always
stockholders or depositors, aud very
rarely any other kind. Now and then
the special influence OF a direc-
tor, siockholder or depositor may
get an outsiders paper done, but it is
the exception not not the rule. The
rate in our banks is practically about
nine per cent for outside paper. 1t is
not called interest but that makes no
difference. Six per cent paper is ig-
nored and thrown out, and for the plain
reason that the Government pays more,
and, in addition, affords better security.
When bank can lend all its funds at
80, or. better still, at six per cent in
gold, would not its managers be very
singular sort of business people to pre-
fer six per cent in currency? Is it not
absurd TO expect them to accommodate
the public below the market rates {?
Who ever knew money lenders to do
such a thing. Then why keep
II dead law hanging simply in terTorem
over capital? What good is accom-
plished? The effect is only to establish
a sort OF brokerage by which paper is
sold, not discounted, at an illegal rate.
Inscriptions men do not hesitate to
violate the spirit of the law every day,
aud they can do it, through these sales,
with impunity, while conscientious
people lock up their capital in Govern
ment bonds or send it to other places
for more remunerative investment.
These are the points to which we desire
our cotemporary's attention. They are
practical in their working, not theoreti-
cal. Fine talk about the farmer and
about oppressive rates of interest upon
him, &C., will not meet the case. Let
us hear how the poor man, for whose
protection the law ought to operate, is
benefitted.
