The Three Remedies. "SCHENCH's PUL-
MONO SYRUP" for the cure of Coughs,
Colds, Bronchitis, and every form Of Con-
sumption. The peculiar action of this med
icine ripens the ulcers in the Iungs pro-
notes the discharge of the corrupt matter
by expectoration. Puriies the blood. and
thus cures Consumption, when every other
remedy fails.
"Schenck's Sea-Weed Tonic" for the
cure of Dyspepsia or Indigestion, and all
diseases arising from debility. Tits tonic
i~nvigorates the digestive organs, supplies
the place of the gastric juice when that is
deficient, and then enables the patient to
digest the most nutritious food. It is a
sovereign remedy for all cases Of indiges-
ton.
"Schenck's Mandrake Pills." one of the
most aIuabIe medicines ever discovered
being a vegetable substitute for caIomeI,
and having all the useful properties as
cribed to that mineral, without producing
any of its injurious effects.
To these three medicines DIR. j. II
Schenck, of Philadelphia, owes his I'M
riva1ed success in The Treatment of Pull
monte Consumption. The Pulmonic Syrup
ripens the morbid matter, discharges it,
and purides the blood. The Mandrake
G1llS ACT upon the liver remove ali Op-
struettops therefrom, give the organ a
healthy tone, and cure Liver Complaint,
which is one of the most prominent causes
OF Consumption.
The Sea-Weed Tonic InVigorates the
powers of the stomach, and by strengthen
ing the digestion ami bringing IL to a nor
NAL and healthy condition, improves the
quality of the blood, By which means the
formation of ulcers or tubereles II the
lungs becomes impossible. The combined
action of hese medicines, as thus ex-
planned, W tcure every case of Consump-
ton, If the medies are used in time and
the use of the is p~ersevered in SUFFICIENT
Iy to bring the Gaze to a favorable termtna-

METHODIST BOOK CONCERN.
Report Of The Subcommittee of
Investigation.

The Methodist Of this week pub
fishes some facts Ia regard to the
Book Concern financial Irregularities,
the investigation of which was under
taken by a subcommittee of three,
which committee devoted nearly a
month to the matter, and made a re-
port, of which the article in the
Methodist is a summary. The report
(made November ~ showed:
ID That under the methods of
business adopted by the Concern any
amount of loss was possible. The
committee stated that the vouchers
of the Printing Department were not
original bills, but only monthly state
ments; the original bills were asked
for but could not be found. (2) That
no one was found whose duty it was
to examine and check invoices of
goods purchased by the Concern, and
to certify to their correctness before
th3y were paid by the cashier. This
work, it done at all, was done by the
head of department purchas-
ing; bills were found errone-
ously cast up, which had
been paid without being exam
ined by anybody. 81 The wages
book of the bindery showed that,
since the last General Conference,
more than $500 had been drawn by
the Superintendent, under the head
Of miscellaneous articles, for which
no vouchers were rendered, and on
corning which no satisfactory ihfor-
nation could be obtained. a That
the committee could not obtain from
the accounts of the agents any correct
idea of the compensation of the head
of the bindery. Careful inquiry,
however, showed the following facts:
In January, 1864, his salary was
raised from 81, 600 to 1900, and on this
basis he was settled with In September
last. An examination ofthe wages book
showed that he had drawn on three
several occasions, since the last Gen
eral Conference, 800. Further in
quiry showed that this had been done
for years, IN pursuance of an agree
ment between him and the agents. by
which his compensation was to be
Increased 5000 per year, but was not
to appear on the books as a part of
his salary. Still further inquiry
showed that the gold sweepings had
been given him for several years.
The committee estimate the value of
these gold-sWeepings for the last six
and a half years at 10000, or more
than $1,000 per year. It was found
that other employees were receiving
perquisites, but the amounts we're
not ase~ertained. % That the
committee found nothing in the
accounts of the agents to show
that the quantity and quality of the
goods received correspond with the
quantity and quality of the goods
In fact" says the commit
tee, " there is no record to show that
goods were received at ALL" co.
That the committee were led by the
discovery of these defects of method
to inquire whether there had been
actual losses on merchandise in the
bindery. Their examination showed
that, reckoning from December /,
1867, there were 1,400 dozen of skins
not. accounted for, which must have
the Concern not less than $4,000
The Chairman of this subcommittee,
the Rev. james Pike, of New Hamp-
shire, did not sign the report Of the
Book Committee, and is understood
70 dissent from it.

BoctOrIng Gao Platform.

Under the heading" State Politics."
we find in the State Sentinel, the fol-
lowing paragraph:
Amember of the Committe on Resolu-
tions writes US that there was an omission
in copying h eighth resolution adopted
by the Democratic state Convention. AS
read and approved in the committee, it
was, "That the shares Of stock in the Ma
tional banks ought, aOhfle that system Is con-
tiaued, to be subjected to school and mu-
nicipal. taxation +" etc. 1.-THE words in statics
having been omitted in the copying of the
resolution.
Turning to the resolutions, as print
ed in the same paper, we find them
doctored as suggested by this after
thought, with the words, "a1hiLe that
system IS continued" We regret to
see that the Courier, and other Demo
cratic papers have not fixed their
platforms in accordance with the
above suggestion. We urge them not
to overlook this important matter
longer. It is very essential that the
platform be made sound, or some I'M
fortunate Democrat may fall through
it and get hurt.
1t is a little unfortunate that the
-" member of the Committee on Reso-
lutions" did not discover the omis-
sion until attention was called to the
ridiculous blunder which had been
committed by all the Republican pa
pers of the State. AS the case now
stands, the party is liable to the sus
picion of ~doetoring the resolution to
rid itself of the ridicule which una
voidably attaches to the blunder COM
mitted. Yet how absurd to resolve
that a thing ought to be done which
is already done. Why didn't the
party resolve that the seasons
Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter
Ought to come in order. while the
present solar system is continued.
That would be taking high ground,
and ground that could hardly fail to
be popular.
But where is this thing of doctor
ing the platform to end? We suspect
that in a few days more soma mem
Der of the Committee on Resolu-
tions F" will discover a sad omission in
the " social evil resolution, and we
will have him recommending an addi-
ton so that the resolution will read
something like this:
ResolUed, That any attempt to reg
ulate the moral ideas, appetites or
innocent amusements Of the people
by legislation is unwise and despotie,
oUAiLe the present Ia0s continue an force.
We are not so certain but this is
what the @nvention really meant in
the passage of the resolution. The
resolution does not declare for the
repeal of any existing laws. 1t only
objects to any future legislation on
those points. It evidently indicates
that the Democracy of the State are
satisfied with the laws Of the State as
they non stand upon the statute books,
and are opposed to any further legis-
lation on the subjects mentioned.
We trust all tie members Of the
Committee on Resolutions will exam
inc into this matter carefully, and see
if our view of it is not correct, and
have the resolution properly printed,
in accordance with our suggestion.

that Chief Justice CHASE had written
a letter to a friend in Ohio, urging the
passage of the Fifteenth Amendment
by the Legislature of that State. In

SIGNS OF a HARD WINrER.-It
would be difficult to find any mention
now in the columns of our contempo-
raries Of those signs of a hard winter
which were floating about a month or
two ago. They were venerable, but
fresh on their application. The husks
on the corr this year we're unusually
thick in some sections. The birds
and squirrels in Minnesota, and the
beaYersin the unknown regions where
they are to be found, all had those
peculiar ways which were said to be
indicative ola tremendously hard win
ter. They must be rather surprised
at the result so far. The truth is, we
suspect, that the birds and the other
lower animals are like certain higher

MISSISSIPPI SENAToRs.-It seems
that three U. S. Senators have been
elected in Mississippi. REvELs, a col
ored man, has been elected for the
term expiring March. 1871; General
AMEs for the term expiring March,
1875, and Gov. ALooRN for the term
beginning in March. 1871, and expir-
ing in March, 1877. There is a good
deal of excitement among the Wash
ington Democracy over the prospect
of a negro U. S. Senator, but we pre-
sumo the party will survive the disas-
ter, as it has survived its reasonable
conduct during the war.

SANDSTONE, from Owen and Greene
Counties, will be used next season for
building in indianapolis. Some of
this sandstone is beautifully colored,
easily worked, durable, and has the
advantage over limestone of resisting
the action of fire. When a man builds
a fine house, of course he does not
expect it to burn down. but if it does
burn, it is well enoug to save as many
of the pieces as possible. In the re-
cent Opera House FIRE all the fine
stone work was ruined, and even the
foundations were so injured as to be
useless.

PAPAL INFALLIBILITY.-Much diff
ference of opinion exists as to the re-
suit of the deliberations of the Ecu
menical Council on the question of
the Pope's infallibility. A writer
in the Terre Haute Gazette furnishes
US the following paragraphs on this
point:
A letter from Rome to the Boston
Pilot, dated December 18th, says
that the American Bishops =" have ex-
pressed the unanimous desire Of their
sub5ects(D that the dogma may be pro-
nounced of faith" and that there
is no second opinion amongst them on
the matter" With such an influence
in his favor, from amongst those who
live under the protection of free and
popular Institutions, the Pope, we
should think, will not find much diff
fculty in bringing over to his side a
large portion of those who have been
always accustomed to recognize as a
matter of religious belief, the diUine
right of kings to govern mankind.
We may look, therefore, with toler-
able certainty, for the official an
nouncement, before many weeks, of
the fact that every Roman Catholic
throughout the world will be required
to adopt, as a part of his religious
faith, the dogma that the Pope of
Rome is absolutely Infallible, and
stands in the world, in the place of
God.
"SaIjects - as applied to American
freemen, SQUADS strangely.
That the doctrine of the infallibiii-
ty of the Pope, is a new departure
for the Catholic Church of this coun-
try, is evident, from the following
fact:
In the debate between the Rev.
Alexander Campbell and the Roman
Catholic, Bishop Purcell of Cinein-
natl, in 1887, the latter said: "Ap-
peals were lodged before the Bishop
of Rome, though he was not be-
lieved to be infallible. Neither is
he now. No enlightened Catholic
an article of faith. l do not; and
know of, do. The Catholic be-
reeves tHe rope as q man, 20 DC as
liable to error, as almost any other
man an The uniUerSe. Nan IS man,
and no man IS intdlZible, either Ga
doctrine or morals. Many of the
Popes have sinned, and some of
them have been bad men," This
strong and expressive language would
lead one to suppose that Biship Pur-
cell, who is a member of the Council,
will be slow to conform his views
to those of the Jesuit or Ultramon-
tane party of Europe. But we shall
see.
