II is amusing that the feeble should toiter
with uncertain steps, over the face OF the
earth, in danger every day OF falling victims
to the morbid influences by which we are
all surrounded, when a tested and proven
vegetable tonic, capable of endowing them
with the vigor they need, Is procurable in
every city, town and settlement. 1t might
reasonably be thought that after the twelve
years experience which the world has had
of Hostetter's BitterS, all would know that
its effect is to prevent disease.
At certain seasons the atmosphere Is sur
charged with the seeds of intermittents, re-
mittents, rheumatism, pulmonary disorders,
bilious complaints and the like. Persons
whose nervous systems are relaxed are the
first to succumb to these distempers. Brace
up the physical energies then with this po-
tential vegetable tonic. 1t is the most pow
erful recuperant which the botanic king
dom has ever yielded to patient research
and experiment. Try 1t. The blindest dis
cipline of the medical dogmas will at least
admit that a tonic and Alternative, COM
pounded of approved herbs, roots and barks
can do no harm, while the testimony of
thousands invites trial of its virtues.
Vigor is the thing most needed in these
cases as well as in dyspepsia and nervous
affections, and Hostetter's Btters is the SAT-
est. surest and most wholesome strengthen
ing preparation that human skill has yet
concocted.
Hundreds Of physicians have abandoned
all the official receipts and prescribed this
harmless tonic as preventive and cure for
all cases of chills and fever.

States have any representative

Southern States have any representative
character whatever. They have no
constituents with whom they are in &C
cord, they pay not the slightest regard
to the interests of the State whose name
they have stolen, they are entirely
without responsibility and without care
except to and for themselves How alb
surd it is, for instance, to say that
ADELBERr AMEs represents the State OF
Mississippi, or POWELL CLAYTON, Ar
kansas, or 7. w. OSBORN, Florida
These men and others who might
be named, are so entirely antagonistic
to the people of their several States tha'
they not only have no considerable
body Of political supporters but very
few friends among those they claim 10
represent. Under the operations OF The
reconstruction measures, the Senate OF
the United States has become sort Of
hospital for repudiated carpet-baggers.
Under these circumstances, it is not so
strange that the theory of our Govern
ment has been reversed in practice and,
of the two houses of Congress, the Sen
ate is the more dangerous and revolu-
tionarv BODY.

THE UNITED STATES SENATE.

Some surprise has been manifested by
many persons at the revolutionary and
impetuous temper of the United States
Senate in comparison with the more
moderate and liberal disposition Of the
House of Representatives. In the
theory of our system of government, the
Senate, being less numerous than the
House, holding office during a longer
term, and not being chosen directly by
the people, was designed to hold in
check the more tickle House and, by
its conservative tendencies, moderate
the progress of popular legislation. As
at present constituted, however the
Senate lends ready ear to any scheme
of corruption and is foremost in the
work of setting aside all constitutional
obstacles to the qualification of party
rage.
Probably one Of the principal causes
of this departure Of the Senate from its
traditional policy is found in the fact
that many of the present Senators are
mere adventures, usurping seats they
have no moral right to FILL Very few

THE PENNSYLVANIA APPOR.
TIONMENT.

After long struggle on the part Of
the Democrats in the Pennsylvania
Legislature to prevent the passage OF a
fraudulent and unfair apportionment
bill, compromise has been agreed up
on and the amended bill has been
passed. The Harrisburg Patriot says:
The bill is based on the vote for Gov
ernor in 1869, and gives the Senate to
the Republicans by one majority, and
the House to them by six. In the
Senate, however, owing to its present
political complexion, and the terms OF
Senators now in office, the Democrats
will hold the power until 1874, provid-
ed they succeed in carrying the dis
tricts given to them by the bill. By
nothing but divisions and inexcusably
bad management can the Senate be lost
to the Democrats until that time. In
the great political revolution that
is now progressing in the State
the future may be left to take care OF
itself"
Beaver, Butler and Washington
counties constitute the Doth Senatorial
District, which is almost hopelessly Re-
publican, the Radical majority in
Beaver being sufficient overwhelm
the Democratic counties OF Washing
ton and Butler. These counties are
still further swindled ont Of their pre-
per representation in the House, by
being coupled with Beaver and allow
ed in the aggregate four delegates.
The Radical vote Of Beaver will proba
bly, elect the whole four, and thus the
Democrats of the other two counties
will be rendered powerless and denied
their proper influence upon legislation.
Our Democratic neighbors of West
ern Pennsylvania would better move for
annexation to West Virginia in order
to secure their political rights.

Oy the last day of the session oil the
Canada Parliament there was an ant
mated debate upon the proposition TO
ask the British Government to allow a
certain number of troops to remain IN
Canada. Leading members oil 'he
House took part in the debate, opposed
the motion, and in doing so repudlated
the idea Of "any longer depending for
safety and protection upon the presence
OF a few soldiers from another country.
Opinion in Canada has changed within
a wear upon this point Ayear or two
400 no one in Parliament would have
given expression to such sentiments.
There is feeling that the mother coun-
try is not kind to her colony.
The sentiment in favor of annexation
would grow much more rapidly were it
pst for the disturbed condition Of FEEDER
al politics, and the Radical encroach-
ments upon civil liberty in the United
States. The Canadians to-day enjoy a
greater degree of political freedom than
il left to citizens OF these States, by the
recent action in Congress. An English
monarch would find himself in serious
trouble were he TO proclaim martial law,
suspend fhe writ of habedS corpus and
order the arrest of citizens without legal
process, whenever in his judgment 1t
became necessary to the furtherance Of
his own plans, all of which President
GRANT is permitted to do until after the
next session Of Congress. II we want
TO encourage Canadians to desire annex
alton, orifwe want to influence Europe
an subjects to come and reside among
us, we must make the political induce
ments little stronger than they now
are, or are likely to be, under the dom,
nance Of the Radical party.

A very touching story has been going the
rounds, narrating an affecting scene at the
death-bed Of Chief Justice Robertson of Ken.
lucky. Miss Anna Louise Cary, it seems,
was requested by the dying Judge to sing at
his death-bed the old song, SWAY down upon
the Suwanee River" and did so. And now
with reference to this same judge, Colonel
Utley, editor of the Racine journal, and COM
mander of the Twenty third Wisconsin 1egi-
nent during the war, has something to say.
The colonel, while at Lexington, gave shelter
to negro dwarf belonging to Robertson,
whom the latter had beaten and maltreated
in frightful manner. The judge sought out
his slave, bat the colonel refused to give him
up. Robertson thereupon sued out writ in
Kentucky court against the colonel for ne
gro stealing, and, shortly after the close of the
war, obtained verdict. He has ever since
been bounding Utley Cor the collection OF the
bill. The Journal thus describes the scene at
the camp when Robertson came in:
Perhaps the scene to which we have alluded
was still vivid in bis memOrv-where be stood
In the midst ola THOUSAND Wisconsin citizens,
confronted by the little dwarf negro, who.
after having told his master the wrongs he had
heaped upon him (which the judge made no
attempt TO deny but simply tried 10 exc.he), he
pointed his little, warped, crippled fingers at
his master, and said, 'Colonel. that man has
hired me out ever since was five years old,
and have been beat, bruised, worked and
starved, until drawing bis little from up) here
is all there is lett OF me, and now they beat
me because can't do more" The yell If
rage that went up from that whole regiment
at the close ofthe little fellows remarks, and
the scene that followed, was no doubt quite as
exciting as the one described in the above ar
ticie- 1t was with the most positive efforts
that we preserved the judge from insult and
injury before he got out OF the camp. for the
boys from Wisconsin were unused to such
conduct as the judge admitted he had per-
formed toward that little, crushed negro bow.
