The Philadelphia Press directs atten-
ton to a very curious fact developed by
the statistics of the Eastern Penitentiary
of Pennsylvania for the past year. From
Hon. Richard Vaux's report it appears
that of the prisoners admitted during the
past wear, %. SO, or nearly twenty SIX per
cent. were total abstainers from intoXi
Gazing drinks. As this is probably larger
proportion than the percentage of total
abstinence men TO the entire community,
if a, least affords ground for curious spec
ulstion. Generally one Of the siereoyped
arguments for the cause of Temperance in
drinking has been drawn from the prison
statistics; but here is q case which flies in
the face of all the general assertions on
the question. Mr.. Vaux pushes the mat
fer further in the figures which follow.
For fhe same period the moderate drinkers
supplied forty five per cent, the some
times intoxicated over twenty-five per
cent. and the often intoxicated about six
and a half per cent Of the penitentiary
inmates, all of which affords food for re-
Election.

SENATOR iBRowNIow writes to the
Knoxville Chronicle, the new Radical
paper, in regard to the election for judi
cial officers to come off in August:
'FWhat Gov. Senter will feel it his duty
TO do, l am unable to say, but if were
Governor, would refuse to commission
their Judges and other officers."
Not doubt of it. While he was Gov
ernor, he was the greatest and most reck-
less law-breaker we had. Whenever the
law opposed the revolutionary schemes
of the Radicals, he struck it down as
though il were a mushroom. 1t is not to
be wondered at that we had an eXtraordi-
nary amount of lawlessness while he was
Governor of the State.

OK this side of the Atlantic the City of
Boston steamer has been given up, after
long and anxious doubt, as never again to
be seen or heard of. Vice Admiral Bel
cher, of the British navy, is one who,
'hoping against hope" has not yet given
up all expectation of the safety of that
vessel. He has published a letter in the
London Times, in which he says that if
the City of Boston stood southeasterly,
and fell into the 'horsen ATTITUDES, where
few ships have any business or care to go,
she may, like a transport he recollects, be
detained there from 100 to $50 days, and
would eventually find her way, by the
trade winds, into some port of florida or
the West Indies.

The mystery of the carpet-bag legisla-
ton in Florida is receiving a solution.
The following extract from a letter from
G. w. Swepson to Gov. Reed, of Florida,
postmarzed Raleigh, n. c., and dated
May 81, 1869, will throw some light on
this point:
tfeYou remember, when in New York,
our agreement was this: You were to
call the Legislature together, and use your
influence to have our bills passed, as
drawn by us; and if you were successful
in this, you were to be paid twelve thou
sand five hundred dollars in cash, out of
which was to be deducted the seventy five
hundred dollars you have heretofore re
ceived, leaving balance of five thousand
dollars, to be paid at an early day. Should
our bills as drawn pass, we want you TO
gosto New York and sign and issue to us
the State bonds and receive the bonds of
our road in exchange for them,
Here is the carpet-bag Governor of
Florida absolutely bargaining for large
sum of money to influence the Legislature
of the State over which he presides to pass
a bill which is shown to be fraud. That
is the way Radicals grow rich in the

po..rrrnAL DISABILITIES.

! A gentleman who has recently received
a letter from one of The Radical leaders
in Congress, informs us that there viii be
no opposition to removing the political
disabilities of any who make application,
AS it seems to be the determination OF The
President and Congress to pass no uni
versai amnesty bill at the present session,
it may be policy on the part OF those
who are most obnoxious to the
Radicals TO make the application.
If the application should be favorably
acted upon, there viii soon be no reason
or pretext for longer keeping the masses
under disability If the application be
rejected, 1t viii show to the world that
the majority in Congress are not con
trolled by considerations of loyalty or dis
loyalty on the part of the applicant but
by partisan prejudices. If opposition to
the reconstruction policy of Congress be
an evidence of disloyalty, theG there are
some as disloyal men in Congress as there
is in the South.

THE New York Tribune furnishes a
striking illustration of the "old saw"
about circumstances altering cases. That
paper said few days ago that the Mill
tary Committee of the House of Repre-
sentatives did wise thing in deciding TO
report against allowing various territories
to organize their militia to fight the In
dams. This is right. But the Tribune
urges the Military Committee to report
bill, authorizing the negro militia of the
South to be organized and armed to rob
and murder the white people.

EVEN the New York Tribune has
grown weary of the reconstruction devil
tries of its partisans. 'Let US have done
with reconstruction" it cries. ''The
country is sick and tired of it. !" True
enough; and the remark would have been
equally true year or two ago. But it is
something that so blind a leader of the
blind as the Tribune is at length able TO
discern this faint glimmer of the returning
light of reason. And here is something
more, to the same purpose:
"When you go to the bottom of the
case you find the argument for further re-
construction amounting to just this: IF
you allow the people of Georgia to elect
new rulers, they won't elect u.s. We
presume that is so. But we cannot for
ever keep the boy out of the water be-
cause he has not learned to swim. The

THE GREAT
SPRING AND SUMMER TONIC.

Medical treatment has been revolution
lied, and at last the discovery has been
made that RENOVATION, NOT PROS
TRATION, IS THE TRUE MEDICAL
PHILOSOPHY. The introduction of
PLANTATION BITTERS, pre-.
pared with pure st. Croix Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes of the
world to this great fact. The life-sus-
tanning principle embodied in this great
Vegetable Restorative is manifested in
the weak and responding by an immedi-
ate and most encouraging change. If
the appetite has failed, it is quickened;
if digestion has been painful and imper-
feet, it becomes easy and thorough; if
the liver is torpid, it is reused and regu-
lated; if the nerves are relaxed, they are
strengthened and reStrung; if the brain
has been haunted by morbid fancies, they
are put to flight and hope and cheerful
ness return. In the face of the extraor-
binary cures of general debility, dyspep-
STA, biliousness, constipation and mental
dependency, wrought by Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not in league with
death and the undertaken could persist in
it. The terrible evacuents which were
once prescribed as the Spring and Sum
mer medicines, have utterly lost their
prestige. The sick willnot take them,
and Plantation Bitters, in which are COM
bined the elements of stomachic, an
invigorant, mild laxative, nervine and
an anti-bilious specific, reign in their
stead. Sold by all Druggists.
