AN INDEPENDENT JUDICIARY.

The bill of Senator Drake, Of Missouri,
one of the most ultra Radicals in Congress,
to abolish the Constitution Of the United
States is one OF the most dangerous pieces
Of folly that q Radical Congress could con-
sided. TIE whole aim OF the bill is to pre-.
hibt the courts from comparing any law
with the provisions of the Constitution, and
10 destroy it entirely. The bill tells the
courts to be- blind to the existence Of ANY
other law than the acts of Congress, and is
but a long step on the road 10 a centralized
dsspotic power. b. thus destroying the
Limitation of the legislative power by writ

The Three Remedies. "Schenek's PuImonic

and every form ct Consumption. The peculiar
action of this medicine ripens the ulcers in the
lungs, promotes the discharge Of the oorrup,

thus cures Consumption, when every other rem
edy fails.
'.schsnok's seaweed Tonic" for the cure OF
Dyspepsia or Ind gestion, and all diseases arts
ing from debility. This tonic invigorates the
digestive organs. supplies the place Of the gas

the patient to digest the most nutritious food. Ii
is a sovereign remedy for all OF indiges-
ton.
"schenck's Mandrake Pills. one of the most
valuable medicines ever discovered, being a veg
etable substitute for cal0mei. and having all the
useful properties ascribed to that mineral, with
out producing any of its injurious effects.
To these three medicines DIR. J. FL. Schenck,
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled success in tde
treatment of Pulmonic Consumption. The Pull
monte Syrup Fipens the morbid matter, dis
charges it, and puriies the blood. The Mandrake
Pills act upon the liver, remove ali distractions
therefrom, give the organ healthy tone, and
cure Liver Complaint, which is one of the most
prominent causes of Consumption.
The Sea Weed Tonic invigorstes the powers of
the stomach, and by strengthening the digestion
and bringing it to a normal and healthy condi-
ton improves the quality of the blood, by which
means the formation of ulcers tubercles in the
I:ngs becomes imp ssible. The combined action
of these medicines, as thus explained, will cure
every case of Consumption, if the remedies are
u.ed in time and the use of them is persevered
in sufficiently to bring the case to a favorable
termination.

RED RIVER R1DHIIIoI

The idea that . handful of half.breeds
located in . distant corner of the continent
should throw down the gauntlet of defiance
to power like Canada, backed BY its burly
patron, England, excited the laughter of all
sober minded people. and the world looked
on the tempest in tea pot with but little
concern, expecting to hear no more OF it IN
day or two; but there is little room tor
doubt, now, that the settlers OF the Red
River region are seriously determined to
resist to the bitter end, the assumption OF
authority attempted to be exercised over
them by the Dominion Government. 1t ap
pears there was something deeper in the
thoughts and temper of those free born resi-
dents of Rupers's Land than simply offering
annoyance to Governor McDougall and re
fusing to recognize his official character
They believed the time had come and the
opportunity Was Offered them to tell the Ca
madam government that its jurisdiction had
limit, hating on the boundary of the Red
River country, and that any effort to ssser,
its claims beyond the dividing liue would be
met in spirit of determined resistance. The
"halfbreeds" will keep their word. The
revolution they have started is an accom-
plished fact, and its effects, it is easy tc
realize, will be IS far.reaching as they are
pregnant with the invitable destiny of an
nexstion. The Dominion government must
have long since discovered the blunder II
has been guilty of in the thoughsless, cava
lier fashion with which it despatched Nc
Dougall TO command the allegiance of these
Red River people. There IVES something
so sbitary, and autocratio in the manner OF
the thing that, dull of sense as the "half
breeds" are supposed to be, they were unable
to shut their eyes to the palpable imposition
Of the conceit, and their protest is now on
what promises to be q permanent record
That the movement will tend to revolution
ize Canada there is much likelihood. AL
the means of the Dominion and ali the Is
sistsnce which England could spare would
be inadequate to coerce the people of Red
River, because they almost inaccessible
from Canada, and al army could not be
sustained there q month. The new republic
can sustain itself without difficulty, and will
not be likely to take step backward.
