1HIs MORNING, says the Philadelphia
Pu6hc Ledger, dates the thirteenth day of
July, and the fifteenth is designated for
tue adjournment of Congress. In two
days, therefore, the present session will
be at an end, and no one will regret it
unless 1t be the lobbyists and the specula-
tors in and out of the two Houses. When
the session commenced, strong hope was
entertained that wise and comprehensive
measures would be matured to relieve the
financial, commercial and political difficult
ties of The times. But after session of
more than seven months, there is but little
result except disappointed hopes and vain
expectations 1t would be most difficult
for any one familiar with Congressional
history to point out session characterized
by SO great an amount of the merest ca>
price III attempting legislation. There is
scarcely an important subject mot of a
party nature) upon which the two Houses
agreed, and scarcely one upon which eith-
er House agreed with itself from the be-
ginning to the end of the consideration of
any one principal measure. 1t appeared
to be the fate of nearly every important
bill to be matured up to a certain point.
and then to be either defeated by the
House which matured it, or else to be
revolutionized by the other House, after
it got there. Then came series of back
ings and fillings-the inevitable conference
committeeman hybrid compromises that
are of very little account either way. 1t
would have been much better if such
matters had been left alone The coun-
try has been kept in condition of uncer-
tainty, and business unsettled, and all to
no purpose. AS the session closes there
will be sensation of relief, just as there
is IN this State after the adjournment of
the Legislature.

LIE NAMED.-The New York Times
published statement q few days since to
the effect that the Democratic vote returned
at the last election in New York city was
about equal in some districts to the number
OF inhabitants returned by the census takers.
The reporter who got up the article must
We been drunk at the time he prepared it.
and the editor who published the story must
have been laboripg under some inability to
comprehend figures. The whole vote Of
wards, III which there are a mum Der of poll
ing places, was compared with the popula-
tlon of single precincts. A true statement
OF the case shows that not more than one
vote was cast to seven inhabitants. The
usual allowance in rural districts is one voter
to six inhabitants, and in large cities like
New York, where many unmarried men find
employment, it would not be strange to fad
one voter to every five of the population =
The vote returned being only one to seven
inhabitants shows that there was still re-
served force at home. Had all the votes OF
the city been poled the Democratic majority
would have been still larger than it was.
The Radicals want to find some excuse fol
the passage Of the new Naturalization bill
which dlscrminates against foreign-bo cit
izens, and these lying reports in regard tc
VIC CohGuOI oI etectlOhS lu New York city
are gotten up for that purpose. The subter-
fuge will not avail them. The lie was
promptly nailed as soon as made, aud the
falsehood did not travel far until truth over
took it. The Rad Gals will ind out in the
end that they can gain nothing even in New
York city by the odous Naturalization bill.
aud their appointment of federal officials to
Spy around the polls and supervise elections.
The Democratic majority in the great me-
tropolis of the country viii not be lessened.
With full poll of the legal vote it can be
greatly increased.

The London Times of July 10Th pub
fishes the full text of the late treaty pro-
posed by France to Prussia as the price
Of peace, after the war of 1866 between
Prussia and Austria, and again revived
recently when France asked the cession
of the Grand Duchy to Luxemburg and
the conquest of Belgium, assisted by frus-
sia. France as return for this promised
Prussia TO permit the fusion Of South and
North Germany, except the Austrian
provinces also, recognizing the validity
of the acquisitions made by Prussia at the
end Of war in Bohemia. France also
proposed an offensive and defensive alli-
ance between the two nations. To these
arrangements the reply of Prussia was
curt and decisive. She positively refused
to consider any such propositions coming
from France. This declinalion of Prus-
sia to listen TO any overtures from France
was the real cause of the present conflict.

There is queer story among the Gin
cinnati German printers in regard to Charles
Boehler, of their number, who recently died
of delerium tremens, and friend Of his
named Chris Steiler. Some three years ago.
as the story runs, Steiler, who was at that
time accustomed to work at the same desk
with Beehler, gathered group aoou. him
in beer saloon and told them he had had a
dream the night before, in the course of
which he had seen. slowly drawn before him
by black-piumed horses. hearse. contain
ing full length coffin. on which was in
scribed in large letters, "Charles Boehler.
July TO-" Boehler was told of this dream.
which ever after affected him as a prophecy.
Sure enough, he died and was buried July
10. 1t is supposed by his friends that the
very dread of his approaching doom drove
him TO the liqsor which really caused his
death by deleNum tremens.-Hrorld.

THE Philadelphia Sunday Mercury thus
discourses upon the troubles which beset
the negro cadet at West Point:
The exceedingly disagreeabe situation of
this citizen of African descent, illustrates
the folly Of the Radicals in attempting to
force an equality between the two races so
different as the white aud negro. Legisia-
ton cannot overcome or suppress the in
stincts of nature nor obliterate the distinc-
tions made by the Almighty between the
various races Of his creatures a buzzard
and an eagle are both birds, but not 'birds
of feather" and nothing within the power
of man could make them "f0ck together"
The negro is to the white man what the
buzzard Is to the Gag le; yet, if the Radical
doctrine is to be permanently Incorporated
In our institutions, we shall have to commit
the crime against nature of placing both
these dissimilar birds upon our national
banner! But the eagle will peck and tear
his companion of disgusting odor and APP
pearance. just as his young representatives
at West Point are pecking at the buzzard's
representative now Gagged in the Academy
with them. These naturally incompatible
elements will never mix harmoniously ia our
governmental and social affairs. and the
poor buzzards are doomed to Just such a
pecking and plucking as the colored cadet,
Smith, complains Of 1t may be wrong, but
It is natural and, as we have said, legislation
cannot conquer nature, nor the laws of Con-
gress repeal the laws of God

ISIS is the way the labor assembly OF
Cincinnati and vicinity goes for the negro
Chinese party
Unless the Governme Mt shall soon com
mcnce the work of redressing the wrongs of

Of the first drob of that river of blood which
five hundred thousand working men poured

mously to pay the costs of the war which
the monopolists produced, aud then to inn port

Ok SATURDAY of next week the Dem~
ocrats of the several boroughs and town
ships of this county will be called upon
TO choose delegates to represent them in
the County Convention, to be held on the
Monday following. We need hardly adj
monish our Democratic friends of the im-
portance of the great duty before them
If good, reliable Democrats are selected
as delegates, and they do their work wise
ly and well, as they no doubt will, all
will be right.
We sincerely hope that the honest, hard
working Democrats of Cambria county
will take this matter into their own hands
and see to it that the re1y best men in their
respective districts are sent to represent
them in the Convention. If this is done,
and all personal feelings are disregarded,
we shall have candidates who can not only
sustain themselves in the field, but sustain
the reputation of "Little Cambria" in the
Legislative halls and in the faithful and
honest discharge of their duties as county
officers.
We profess to be the special friend OF
no particular candidate, but we do pro-
fcss an ardent desire that all the nominal
tions may rebound TO the credit of the
county, and secure US a brilliant, as il
will be we'll merited, success.

MOTHER AND uBR DAUGHTER OUT
RAGED.-A most dastardIy outrage was COM
mitted by a black man on Saturday night
last, The unfortunate persons are Mrs
Eel 2 and her daughter, " ho reside alb ut
one mile above Sboemakersville. along the
Reading Railroad. On the night mentioned.
Mr.. Feltz was away from home. having gone
to the store in the village. Between aud
10 O'Clock knock was heard at the door,
and Mrs. FelIz, from the manner Of the
knock, discovered that it was not her hus-
band, and therefore refused to open the door
Finding that he could not gain an entrance
at this door, he proceeded 10 the cellar door
and succeeded in getting in, when he called
to the ladies to come down. AT this time,
the LADIES understanding his design, ran out
OF the house, taking different directions,
when the tend followed them and overlook
the mother, whose escape was prevented by
having fallen into a ditch She made des
perate struggle to get away, but the grip of
the black wretch was so firm that the print
of the hand could be seen on her BODY a few
days alter, and thus had to submit to the
heliiSh work. After this was accomplished
he lett the mother in an insensble condition,
and followed the daughter. who was soon
oVertaken, she having sank down, overcome
with fright, and outraged her IN the same
way. The iend then left, AMI up to this
time, has not been arrested. Mrs. Fe!tz was
taken up by her husband, who had just re-
turned home. and placed in bed, and suffer
ed much until Sunday evening. The daugh-
ter is still suffering, and, it is believed is
injured for life. This unfortunate affair
caused much excitement and Indignation in
the neighborhood. and if the perpetrator had
been caught he would not have been spared.
On Thursday colored man was arrested at
Reading an suspicion, from the fact that he
was at Leesport on Sunday; but, no evi-
dence having been found against him, he
was discharged. The officers are still or
the lookout. and we hope will get the right

he Strength OF the oonbatants.

We publish below some facts in regard
to the comparative strength of the armies
and nayies of France and Prussia, which
cannot fail, in view OF the impending war
between those countries, TO prove highly
interesting to our readers:
STRENGTH OF THE FRENCH ARMY.
The number of men under arms in France
is $50 900 Under the law Of February l,
1868 the army was organized in three grand
divisions the active army, 400 600 men !

The Season and Its Dangars.

The human body is chiefly COMPOSED of
tissues and fbres Us sensitive to every change
in the condition of the atmosphere as the
most i leate electometer, or the quick
silver in barometer tube.
The stomach, the skin, the nerves, the
lungs, and the exeretory organs are especial
" liable to be affected by these variations,
and the best defence against their disastrous
tendency is to keep the digestive machinery,
which feeds and nourishes the whole sys-
tenn, in good working order.
If the stol4ch is weak or disordered nei
Their the blood nor the bile can be in a
healthy state, and upon the fitness of these
tn o important fluids for the offices assigned
to them by nature, and the regularity of their
flow, health in great measure depends.
When the air is heavily laden with the
chilling vapors, as 1t often is at this season
of the year, the digestion should be an OBJ
iect of peculiar care. fit is weak and Ian
guild, the whole ply steal structure will be
enervated. fit is vigorous, the entire or
ganizasion will be strong to resist the unto
ward and depressing influence I a damp and
vitiated atmosphere.
A pure and powerful tonic is therefore es-
pecially needed as a safeguard against the
diseases most common in the spring, and
Hostetter's Stomach Bitters being the most
wholesome and potent medicine of the class
at present known, a course of it is particu-
larly advisable at this period Of the year.
The stomach will thereby be toned and
strengthened, the liver and bowels regulat-
ed, the nervous system braced up, and ma
ture put in a state of active defence against
the miasma that .suporinduces intermittent
and remitteut fevers, rheumatisms, nervous
debility, headache, hypOchondria and othe-
complaints which are apt TO assail the IN
toned aud unfortifed organizations. The
body is strengthened without exciting the
brain, and consequently no unpleasant re-
action follows its reviving and renovating
operation.
