SCHENCK's SEAWEED ToNIC.-This
medicine, invented by DR.. J. II. Schenck, of Phil
adelphia is intended to dissolve the food and make
it into chyle, 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
lily digested.
Consumption cannot be cured by Schenek's Pul.
monte Syrup unless the stomach and liver is made
healthy and the appetite restored, hence the Tonic
and Pills are required in nearly every of con-
sumption. half dozen bottles of the SEAwEED
Tonic, and three or four boxes of the MANDRAKE
PILLS will cure any ordinary cise of dyspepsia.
DIR. Schenck makes professional visits in New
York, Boston, and at his principal office in Phila-
delphia every week. See daily papers of each
place, or his pamphlet on consumption for his days
of visitation
Please ask for 'sDr. Schenck Mandrake Pills -
and observe that the two likenesses of the Doctor
are on the Government stamp-one when in the
last stage of Consumption, and the other in his
present health.

MORE CORRUPTION.
Forney. ID. d.. Gobbles 5000. 900.


The following is prin ted in a late
number of the New York Express:
'It is stated on good authority that
the franchise of the Baltimore and Po-
tOmac Railroad Company has been sold
to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company for $500,000. OF this amount
John w. Orney received $500, 900, a
Mr.. Lloyd, from Wiiliamsport, Pa,
now a clerk in the Clerks Office III. of
r., $45, 900, and other persons connected
with the sO-called enterprise the bal
ance."
Wholesale robbery like this, accord
ing to the morals of these times, makes
the scoundrels who perpetrate it, gen.
Hemen! If some poor devil runs away
with thousand or two, he is, forsooth,
a great criminal; but when the villain
of colossal proportions, pockets his
quarter of a million, he is only a gentle
man of quick parts! In regard to the
transaction above referred to, we adopt
the language of the Lancaster Er-
anainer, which, though Radical pa
per, seems to have sufficient grit to
speak plainly. The Examiner says !:
All we have to say about this is, that
if true, the parties with Col. Forney at
their head, have perpetrated a base
fraud on the public. During the last
session of the Maryland legislature, the
persons owning the charter of the ''Bal-
timore and Potomac Railroad" resisted
what they called the effort of the mo-
nopolists of the Baltimore and Ohio
Railroad to have their charter repealed
by the legislature, on the ground that
the Baltimore and Ohio company was
huge monopoly, controlling the

TENNESSEE.

The Kingdom of Tennessee, now
ruled over by his Birthstone Majesty,
Governor" Brownlow, will hold an
election some of these days. Brown
low, is candidate for reelection. He
and his delectable Legislature have
disfranchised two thirds of the white
men of the State, and, at the same
time, have given all the negroes the
right of suffrage. Old Brownlow is
more thoroughly despised and more
cordially hated by three fourths of the
white people of Tennessee than any
other man on the face of the globe.
Yet he has under his control the ma
chinery to impose his odious tyranny
upon those people as lOngas he pleases.
He has the negro mob to sustain him,
and a negro militia to overaWe and
slay the few true and brave men who
dare to stand in the way Ofhis accursed
ambition. He threatens to disperSe all
meetings held to oppose his reelection
and to arrest all speakers who may
choose to mention his public career in
terms of disapprObation. For this pur-
pose he declares he will use his black
militia. And these janissaries that
are tocrush out the last vestige Of freed
om in Tennessee, are armed at the eX-
pense of the United States, Congress
having directed 10000 stand of arms
to be placed at the disposal of Brown
low for that purpose. Was ever coun-
try cursed with such internal knavery
as this, since the day when Nero fid-
died over burning Rome? If all the
fiends in the hottest Of incandescent
hells were molten into one gigantic
devil, and if such a demoniac mon
-strosity were fed on vitriol and saltpe-
tire for ten centuries, and then let loose
to invent curse for this land, he could
be furnished a recipe for all he desired
to accomplish, by that incarnation Of
all that is diabolical, BroWnloW, of
Tennessee.

"uELP Us. CASH US, OR WE sINKr'

Such is the Macedonian cry" of the
Radical National Committee, in an
address recently issued to the 'Repub-
licans of the Union !" This address is
signed by Marcus l.. Ward, n. j., S.
A. Purviance, Pa, w. Clatiin, Mass,
John B. Clark, n. H., Horace Greedy,
n. ", II. H. Starkweather, Conn.,, N.
B. Smithers, Del, and III. w. Hoffman,
Md. After discoursing upon the ne
cessity for organization, especially in
the South. it concludes as follows:
Republicans! Our appeal is to you,
to carry on and sustain the work which
few loyal and true men have so nObly
begun. We cannot ask speakers, in ad-
ditiOn to giving their time and talents
for months to this labor, to defray their
own necessary expenses. We cannot
print and distribute documents of the
character required without a heavy
outlay. We have no means of reliance
except upon the generous spirit of that
great party which holds the claims of
humanity and freedom abOveall price.
The patronage of the Government,
brought into power by the statesman
ship, the courage and the loyalty of
that party, will not aid us in this good
work. We must, therefore, appeal
directly and personally to you. Ifyou
are rich give generously. Ifpoor, send
to us whatever you can afford. The
generous purpose and the noble aim
Sanctify the humblest efforts. AT all
events, act promptly, and let us feel
that the sympathy of the Republican
party is with us in our purpose of max
ing this great land the home of true
Republican principles, where distinc-
| tiOns of race and color are unknown,
and where Liberty, Virtue and Intelli-
gence, form the enduring basis OF our
greatness and prosperity"

Pomeroy says. Bro. Lutz will please
pass the hat around. The Union League
fund has 'gin eout" and the Military
Despotism in the South is a heavy con-
tract. Hand over your greenbacks.

WHY don't the Radical party bring
Jefferson Davis to trial? The District
Attorney for the district of Virginia,
and his assistant counsel, Mr.. Evarts,
are both Radicals, Judge Underwood
is crazy Radical and Judge Chase is
a prospective Radical candidate for the
Presidency. Now, why isn't Davis
run through this Radical machine?
The Democrats want to see him tried
and are anxious toknow Judge Chase's
opinion as to what constitutes Treason
in this country.

A GLIMPSE BEHIND THE MASK
A colored Baptist minister at Beaufort,
). c., writing to the Christian Record,
among other things says:
"Some eofoUr white ministerial friends
do more in the way of procuring farms
and keeping our poor race in ignorance
than anything else. They pretend,
when they are North, that they would
come down and do anything for our
race in the way of enlightening them +;
but instead of this, when they see the
cotton gag, they forget all about Christ
and Him crucifed, and the saving of
souls"
OF certain Northern merchants, he
says
"All they wish to do, is to teach what
President Lincoln has done, pat thecOl-
ored man on the shoulder with tn e left
hand, while with the right hand they
catch hold of his pocketbook. And
when they have got the last cent from
him, their friendship suddenly ceases.
Then he is only nigger."

only road leading to Washington, and
if they were not interfered with they
would build rival road. The Mary
land legislature believed them and re-
fused to repeal the charter. But the
legislature of Maryland had scarcely ad-
journed, when these great champions
of the cause of the people, and anti-mo-
nopolists, who had enlisted on their
side the entire press of the country for
a rival route to Washington, sell out to
the very monopoly they professed to be
contending with, for half q million OF
dollars. The chief speculator pockets
his taco hundred thousand dollars and
runs away to Europe.
This, we say, If true, is a base, con-
temptible fraud, which might be all
right for stock-gamblers, railroad con-
tractors and spectators, who follow
that sort of business to make fortunes ;
but for public man, the chief officer OF
the United States Senate, professed
statesman, loud-mouthed champion
of the people and their rights and
privileges, to be the leader, the prin-
cipal receiver of the 'black-mail," is
nothing less than a disgraceful public
scandal

Chief Justice Chase has granted a
writ of error in the case of Joseph Bru-
in, whose estate was sold under decree
of the United States Court at Alexan-
dria during the war. The writ is ba-
sed mainly on the fact that the abso-
lutte estate was sold, which was beyond
the power of the Court, and the con-
demnation was for treason, of which
the party could only be adjudged guilty
! by jury.

TO SOLDIERS.

The last Congress having failed to
make an appropriation for the addi-
tional bounties to soldiers, the Depart
mental Washington has been compelled
to stop the payment of all claims for
such bounties. Such as have been paid
were paid out of the general Military
fund. This is a pretty state of affairs,
to be sure. We charged it upon the
Radical Congress last fail, that it had
failed to make any appropriation for
the payment of the additional boun-
ties. This charge was denied most We
hemently by the partizans of Congress,
but itappears that we were correct af-
ter all. What is more, Congress took
good care to make an appropriation for
the three hundred dollars bounty to be
paid to each negro soldier. The pet
lambs of the Radicals must have their
fodder, whether the white boys in blue
get any appropriations or not. We
once had Soldiers Convention in this
county. There is more reason for the
assembling of such body now than
there ever was before. The soldiers of
the country, if they would do themselves
Justice, ought to rise up en- naasse and
denounce the double-dealing and trick
cry of the late Congress.

In place of coarse, rustic, flushed face, she had
a soft ruby complexion of almost marble smooth

peared but eighteen. Upon inquiry as to the cause
of so great change, she plainly told them
