Copperheadsm stands in mortal terror Of
any law interfering with ballot box stufiug
and illegal voting They are in par
oxysm of rage just now in regard TO the
Registry Law passed last winter. Their e:-
forts to have it set aside are Of a most sig
nifcant character. They know that in a fair
election they have no hope Of success and
therefore are earnestly at work trying to
pick a flaw 10 the new law and have it pro
nounced unconstitutional To effect this
purpose they have got up case to bring the
question before Judge Sharswood. Now
Judge Sharswood, owing as he does hisow
election to fraud, deems himself in duty
bound TO sec that the machinery that secur-
ed him in his present position is kept in
good working order for the benefit Of his
friends This as matter Of course is only
common gratitude on the part of the I'M
maculate Sharswood lie helped to manu-
facture copperhead voters last fall by whole
sale in the court Of Ms Pfae, where fraud
ulent naturalizations under his direction
were made out at the rate Of thousand a
day. Under such circumstances the fs-
atty Of Sharswo0d could not be doubted
The copDerheads are sure Of their tool
and to Sharswood they have gone with a
made up case IN order to have it decided
against the Registry Law The Judge
begins the business in a style that shows
him to be perfectly familiar with what bis
friends expect Of him. By agreement Of the
counsel the case was not to be brought up
until full bench, were present TO consider
it But fearing to risk the case before a
full bench who would give it the attention
its importance demands, this immaculate
Judge hurdes up the case in defiance Of the
agreement. Of counsel, before his own incor-
rupdbe self and boasts Of his determination
10 hear the cause and accept the responsi-
bility- Such are the men and such the
means used for peIpetuating the stufing Of
ballot boxes and the manufacture Of Illegal
votes in Pennsylvania for copperhead pur-
poses. How long viii the people endure
such tTampIing upon their most sacred
rights? 1t is no more than might be ex-
pected that the man who was elected by
fraud will lend himself and his official posi-
ton and power 10 the perpetuation of the
facilities for committing frauds but it is not
to be supposed ihat the people will long toll
crate such abuse Of the Judicial crmine.
Judge Sharswood richly deserves to be inn
pcached and removed from Office for such
conduct as he has at least twice been guilty
Of in the brief period Tat be has held Office.

ER'S SARSAPARILLA
FOR PURIFYING THE BLOOD.

The reputation this excellent medicine enjoys
is derived from its cures, many of which truly
marvellous. Inveterate cases Of Scrofulous disease
where the system seemed saturated with corrup-
ton, have been purified and cured by it. Scrofp-
lous affections and disorders, which were aggra-
waited by the scrofulous contamination until they
were painfully affecting, have been radically ca-
ed in such great numbers in almost every section
of the country, that the public scarcely need to be
informed of its virtues or uses.
Scrofulous poison is one Of the most destructive
enemies Of our raee. Often, this unseen and un-
felt tenant Of the organism undermines the con-
sttutiOn, and invites the attack of er feebing or
fatal diseases, without exhibiting suspicion Of its
presence. Again, it seems to breed infection
throughout the body, and then, on some favorable
occasion, rapidly develops into other of its
hideous forms, either on the surface or among
the vitals In the latter, tubercles may be SUD
denly deposited in the lungs or heart, or tuuors
formed in the liver OF it shows its presence by
eruptions the skin, OF feul alterations on some
part of the body. Hence the occasional use of
bottle Of this Sarsdparriita is advisable, even
when no active symptoms Of disease appear.
Persons afflicted with the following complaints
generally find immediate relief, and, at length,
cure. by the use Of this SARSA PARLLLA; st.
ARtAoHys Fire, Rose or Erysipelas, letter, sslt

forms, as Dyspepsia, Dropsy, Heart Disease, Fits,
Epilepsy, Neuralgia, and the various Ulcerons af-
fecti5ns of the muscular and nervous systems.

when caused by accumuations of extraneous mat
ters in the blood yield quickly to it, as also Liver
Complaints, Torpidity, Congestion or inflammation
Of the Liver, and Jauudice, when arising, as they
often do, from the ranking posons in the blood.
This Ssrsapsrilla is n great restorer for the
strength and vigor of the system. Those who
are Lam guild and Listess, Despondent, Sleepless
and Troubled with Nervous apprehensons or
Fears, or any of the affections symptomatic of
Weakness, will find immediate relief and oonvin-
