MARsHALL's ELIXIR.

HEADACHE. DYSPEPSIA. CosrIvENEss.
No medicine ever placed before the people
has 80 suddenly grown into popular favor as
MARsHALL's ELIXIR. It not only cures
the diseases named, but so invigorates and
strengthens the whole nervous system that
these, together with other alarming affections,
are prevented.
As well might we expect darkness to remain
after the rising of the sun, as that these dis
eases will no! disappear after using this
ELIXIR. We claim no merit for it beyond
the good it has already accomplished; neither
do we propose with it to cure all the ills to
which flesh is heir, but we do assert that for
Headache, Dyspepsia, and Costiveness it is
the only radical cure. Bitters and Pills will
fail to cure you; their effects are only tempo
rary and delusive; therefore, before your vital
powers have become weakened by continued
disease, try MARsHALL's ELIXIR. Price

now reached. There was time "no"
the 'wisdom Of our ancestors" allowed no one
to testify who was interested in suit, either
Immediately or remotely. They need not have
been interested in the record, but If they were
even distahtly liable for the Insignificant costs
of an action all their evidence was excluded,
their mouths sealed, and the knowledge they
possessed kept ont of the case and hidden
from the jury. Was this a proof Of the
"wisdom of our ancestors for which Mr..
Wallace has so great respect1 The next
step in the right direction was the statute
which allowed the testimony of all those who
did not appear upon the record as interested.
This was an advance which admitted to the
ears of the jury most of the facts OF the case
which were before excluded, the absurdity
of which exclusion is shown by the
fact that the people thus remotely
interested are the ones, of all others,
likely to know the facts of the case Parties
who have no interest whatever in a transao-
tioD, as rule know but little about II. A man
does not make it his business to investigate the
circumstances Of an event which is none of
his concern. Now the present law allows the
whole matter to be laid before the jury, and the
credibility of the witnesses is left to the court
and the jury itself. By this means both
reason and justice are promoted, and one of
the relics of past age of law cut away from
cumberipg the ground. The old rules of spe-
cial pleading have been Abandoned; common
sense has become a greater rule of action in
law than it was. We hope the House will,
amid its multitude of private laws, fnd time
to pass the proper bill.

The Cuban Question.

THR practical importance of the Cubau ques-
tion is steadily and constantly increasing
More sugar plantations have recently been de-
wasted, and new obstacles have been inter-
posed to the transportation of the old crop
from the interior to the shipping ports. These
occurrences, coupled with the expectation
that, while all hopes of yield this year, in
some districts, have been destroyed, in more
peaceful regions the product will be greatly
diminished, are causing another rise in the
price OF the Cuban staple; and the dispatches
sent yesterday from Havana announce that
there are ''more buyers than sellers, and
holders demand an advance" The industrial
and commercial significance of these events
adds increased interest to the political agita-
tion likely to arise at an early period ia this
country, for the House Committee of Foreign
Affairs has now under consideration the reso-
luton to authorize the President TO recognize
Cuba, and it is said that the Minister of the
revolutionary party will be at Washington in
few days to represent in person the patriotic
cause

The Eligibility OF wituesses.

We are glad to be able to announce the pas
sage through the State Senate OF the bill to
allow parties in interest to testify in all
civil suits. The need OF such law and its
eminent justice we have already called stten-
tion to. There can be no doubt but that, up
TO the present time, Pennsylvania has been
behind the age in not altering her laws of evi.
dsnos 80 as to keep pace with of Great
Britain, the United States, and her sister Com
monwealths. All Of the leading states in the
Union have adopted laws similar to that to
which the Senate has given tardy assent
Why, then, should we be behindhand in pro-
gressf 1t is very well for the opponents of
the measure to talk of the wisdom Of our fore
fathers, the advantage to holding steadil y by
old landmarks, the danger OF innovations.
II such orators as Mr.. Wallace, Of Clearfeld,

Of this very branch Of Jurisprudence, they

Miss Van Lewis appointment as POST
mistress of RtcbmOnd.

nEias Van Lewis AppOtntment as POST
mistress of Richmond.
Tug Senate yesterday confirmed the appoint
poent of Elizabeth Van Lew as postmaster or
postmistress OF Richmond, Virginia. This
action has a much deeper significance than
tbe semi. end ndorsement it gives to women's
rights by bestowipg an important Office on
member of the prescribed sex. Long before
the noisy modern agitation was commenced, 1t
WAS not an unusual occurrence for the widows
of postmasters who possessed the public con-
6depoe to retain the positions previously held
by their deceased husbands. There is, there
fore, no startling innovation in the late action
of the President and the Senate, when viewed
from this standpoint. Its true signifoance
arises from the fact that Miss Van Lew was
stauuch friend Of the Union all through the
war; literally extending aid to Union prison
ers, and sending her slaves through the
lines with important intelligence to General
Grant. While we have no disposition to re-
ioice over fallen foe, or to rake up the slum-
bering fires of dead past, it is just source
of oongratulation that true friend of the ma
tional cause, residing at the central point of
the defunct Confederacy, is ftly rewarded; and
that the naughty seoesh DANES and arrogant
secesh braggarts who once basked in the
smiles Of Jefferson Davis, and who preached
and practised the doctrine that loyalty implied
social degradation as well as political error,
oan regale themselves with the sight of a true
hearted Unionist whenever they transmit or re-
Ceivs letter through the mails of the
triumphant Republic. There may be
well-grounded doubts of the answering
soundness Of some of the newly fedged
Southern loyalists but the escutcheon of
the woman who proved unfalteringly faith
= among the faithless, and who braved all
perils to mitigate the horrors of Rebel prison
point of attack, is stainless; and most fitting is
it that she should be honored and rewarded.
At the outbreak of the war Miss Van Lew
was one of the most wealthy residents Of
Richmond, owning large amount OF valuable
real estate as well as a number of slaves. She
lost her fortune and risked her life by her
defiant and persistent devotion to the Union.
She boldly furnished food to the prisoners in
Libby, despite all threats and menaces. On
one occasion she secreted in her parlor num-
ber of horses, which were subsequently used
to facilitate the escape of Union prisoners; and
she kept Secretary Stanton advised of the
Rebel movements at periods when this task
was attended with the greatest difficulty and
danger. After the war was over she made a
short visit to this city, where she wrote a
sterling letter referring to affairs in the South
which was published in The TELEGRAPH, and
subsequently republished in many of the
leading journals Of the country. Her nervou;
system was greatly shocked by the exciting
scenes through which she had passed, aud
after losing health, property, and social status
II is gratifying to know that her eminent ser
vices have not been forgotten.

rived at the place of the LIS, where
her cries soon aroused the family.
Her tale was rapidly told, and The SER
wants were preparing to go to the
scene Of danger, when suddenly Mr..
i. was missed, and his wife almost on
the instant, as if struck by sudden
presentiment, exclaimed, ''Merciful
God it must be my husbund." With
cry of horror, the party set forth and
ran as fast to the house of Mrs. r.. as
the latter had run away from it a few
minutes before. Arrived there, they
found the man still lying on the floor
and the dog still grasping his thraat.
Beating him away from his prey, they
found the suspicious of Mrs. l.. but too
correct. 1t was her husband but the
teeth of the dog had done their work,
and he was dead.

4 VILLAIN KILLED BY A DOG.

The Augusta (Ga,) Chronicle prints
the following:
In one of the mountain counties of
Georgia there live two families, each
before the war noted for its wealth and
refinement. One of them, the LIS,
consisted of Mr.. L., gentleman of fif-
ty-five years of age, his wife, nearly
the same age, and an unmarried daugh-
ter of about twenty-five. Within a
bout a quarter of mile of their house
lived one of the Rs, young man
who had recently married very beau
tiful young lady of the country, and
having left the paternal mansion, was
farming by himself a small tract of
ground. The two families lived some
distance from the country town, in
sparsely inhabited section of the c0un-
try, and being each the nearest neigh
Dor of the other, were, of course, on
terms of great intimacy Between the
young wife and the daughter of Mr.. j..
a friendship was soon formed.
a few days since, Mr.. r. informed
his wife that he had received letter
which would pelimmediate attend
ance in Atlanta, where he would have
to remain for several days. Feeling
that she had protector in a large and
very fierce yard-dog belonging to her
husband, she took him into her bed
room, and, after securing the house,
laid down and resigned herself 10
sleep.
About twelve o'clock she was aWak-
ened from her slumbers by noise in
the house and the angry growing of a
dog, and discovered that the hall door
had been forced, and that some one was
standing at her room door seeking an
entrance. Speaking as loudly as her
fright would let her, Mrs. r. asked,
"Who is there?n A mans voice
which she did not recognize, replied
by telling her to "open the door"
Again she asked the same question,
and again received the same reply, the
stranger adding that if she refused he
would break the door down. During
this dialogue, the dog still growing,
crouched upon the floor, as if ready to
spring. Thinking to intimidate this
man, who sought her ruin, Mrs. r.
cried out to him that if he forced the
door she would shoot him.
Laughing scornfully, the ruffian
threw his weight against the light door,
burst it open and entered the room
when, quick as thought, the savage
dog sprang forward and fastened on
his neck. The man, astonished at the
sudden attack, attempted to kill the
dog with a knife. which he held in
his hand, but unsuccessfully, and the
powerful animal dragged him to the
ground, still retaining hold upon his
throat. Stunned at first by this un-
looked for deliverance, the woman, in
a few seconds, regained her presence of
mind somewhat, ran screaming from
the house, never stopping until she ar

wORKINGMEN OF PENNSYLVANIA.

The Jacobin politicians and the Jac-
obin press of Pennsylvania are united
ly attempting TO draw off the support
of the workingmen from Hon. Asa
Packer, the Democratic candidate for
Governor, with the plea that he is a
millionaire, and not friend TO the
workingman.
Beware of such infamous falsehoods.
That Mr.. Packer is millionaire is
true. He has accumulated large for
tune, and is accounted among the
Wealthiest men of the country.
That he is not friend to the work
ingman is false, for Mr.. Packer has
not forgotten that he himself was once
laboring man, struggling and bat
tling, for home and home ones, for
the comforts and necessaries of life.
Mr.. Packer was an early settler in
Pennsylvania. With his own hands
did he clear himselfa place fora home,
and with his own hands he made that
home. Gradually, by earnest economy
and by honest toll, he accumulated
wealth. He invested his money in
the improvements and enterprises
that were goingo on around him, all
of which gave employment toa large
number of workingmen, and it cane
back to him in large dividends. In
this way he prospered, and instead of
slowing away his wealth in bonds, up
on which working men are laboring 10
pay interest, he has it spread around
in various manufacturing enterprises,
where it may benefit the country in
the way of productions, and where it
can benefit the workingmen by giving
them employment.
This is Asa Packer whom the Jaco-
bins are shooting their large and small
guns at, and this is the man who is TO
be the next Governor of Pennsylva-
MIA, for the yeomen of the Keystone
State have gone to their work to win.
They are earnest IN their fight!
They are not to conduct defensive
canvass with such an adversary as the
party that elected Grant to the Presi-
dency, and seeks again to make Geary
Governor of Pennsylvania.
They advance with fixed bayonets!
They will push the enemy to the
wall.
They will use the earnest and hon
est arguments of the man who loves
his country and his rights; who loves
justice and the law, against those who
devote their all to the god of party.
1t is the fight of the honest toiling
men against the thieves and shoddy-
| ties.
1t is the fight of truth against un-
! truth.
1t is the fight of honesty against cor
ruption.
1t is the fight of the people against
| the peoples robbers.
And the people tciH icin.
| The Democrats of Pennsylvania are
not to be trifed with in contest that
| involves SO much. They have chosen
/ Hon. Asa Packer as their standard
bearer, and they will now make him
| their Governor.
