The Three Remedies. "SCHENCH's Pun
MoNIo BYRUP," for the cure of Coughs,
Colds, Bronchitis, and every f0-m of Con-
sumption. The peculiar action OF this med
icine ripens the ulcers in the lungs pro-
motes the discharge of the corrupt matter
by expectoration. Purihes the blood. aud
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. This tonic
invigorates 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 valuable 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 DR.. J. II
Schenck, OF Philadelphia, owes his un-
rivaled success in the Treatment of Pull
monte Consump tion. The PuImonIc Syrup
ripens the morbid matter, discharges it,
and puriies the blood. The Mandrake
Pills act upon the liver, remove all OBJ
stIuct1ons therefrom, give the organ
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 ~ strsngthen-
ing the digestion and bringing 1t to nor
NAL and healthy condition, improves the
quality of the blood, By which means the
formation OF ulcers or tubercles in the
lungs becomes impossible. The combined
action OF hese medici aes, as thus ex-
planned, W tcure every case of COnsump-
ton, II the T. NEEDLES are used IN time and

The New Albany Ledger is queerly
edited since Mr.. NoRMAN's demise.
In one article the Administration is
bitterly denounced for the burdens Of
taxation which it has imposed upon
the people, and the next day, per-
haps, berated again for importing
the public credit" and indefinitely
postponing the funding of the public
debt" because it talks Of reducing
taxes and removing the b2rdens. The
new editor evidently thinks his read.
ers don't remember one day what was
in his editorials the preceding day.
Perhaps he don't remember himself
The last is most probably the correct
view of the inconsistency.

Abolition of the FrankIng Privilege

Abolition OF the FraHking Privilege.
The Postmaster General is in earn
est 10 his recommendation to Con-
gress, so. cordially endorsed by the
President, to abolish the Franking
Privilege. He has submitted to Con
gress facts which show conclusiYely
that it is a grieyous' burden upon the
efficiency of the mail service and that
il IS greatly abused by those who
have the benefit of it. These
facts, of themselves. ought to
lead Congress to act promptly on
the question. But Mr.. CREswELL
has resorted to another powerful in
fuence to operate upon the slow NOV
ing legislation of the National Legis-
lature. He has called the people of
the country to his support. Petitions
have been sent out to all the leading
Post Offices, for signature, which
read as follows:

TesentattveS Of the Unitcd States of

PARIS, January 13.
Five thousand workingmen from the Fau-
bourgs attended the funeral OF Nolr, also many
ladies in carriages dressed in mourning.
Rochelorts presence caused great excitement,
and frequent cries Of ''vive la Republic" occurred
at the cemetery. Rochcfort came down the
Champs Elysees escorted by great crowd sing
ing the MarseaIse. They were dispersed by the

The crowd was finally dispersed without resist

made.

States in the mode prescribed by that instru-
ment; that in pursuance Ofthat mode Congress
submitted the Fifteenth amendment for ratiti-
cation, and the Legislature can only determine
that it will not ratify. and there Is an end OF
the States jurisdictions; having ratlted the
amendment, it is not competent for the
Legislature at subsequent time to annul
the ratification by resolution of revocation.
Senator Howe and others were not so clear
of opinion, however, that it is not within the
power of State Legislature at any time prior
to the adoption of the amendment by three
fourths of the States to revoke, or refuse, or
repeal, their former action, and reject the
amendment. The proposition is novel, with
out precedent, and is to be the fruitful subject
of discussion hereafter unless very soon the
requisite number of States shall ratify the
amendment. If It shall turn out that the
three-fourlhs vote OF the State can only be
made up by including New York, 1t will be-
come momentous question whether q State
can revoke Its ratification.
Political Disabilities.
A Washington telegram to the New York
World says:
1t is said that, under the influence Of Butler
and his man Whittemore, the Reconstruction
Committee are refusing to take any steps to-
wards preparing bill to remove the political
disabilities of any persons in the South. Mean.
time, there are over two hundred and fifty
thousand leading citizens excluded from all
pulAic employment-Federal, State, county OF
municipal under the Fourteenth amendment;
while from all Federal employments the whole
mass of the Southern whites of both sexes
are excluded by the iron-clad test-oath of 1862.
The object is to enable the carpet-baggers to
monopolize all the Offices as long as possible,
so that the New England system of tariffs and
class legislation can be maintained. 1t Is
thought that the members of this committee
who desired to reconstruct Tennessee and i'm.
pose new conditions, but to keep out Virginia,
are not much encouraged by the manifesto
tions Of public opinion during the recess.
