The GERMAN JUBILEE IN NEW YoRK.-A
dispatch says the German peace procession
Monday in point of numbers and enthusiasm
e1celled any similar display ever witnessed in
that city, From an early hour the streets were
crowded with organizations proceeding to the
rendezvous and with citizens DESTROYS of wit
messing the pageant. The streets along the
hue of march were densely crowded, as we'll as
every window and balcony commanding ayiew
of the scene. Flags were displayed from al
most every house: A majority of the German
stores were closed, the proprietors and en-
ployees participating in the professions. In
front of the City Hall was erected large plat
for from which the procession was reviewed by
Gov. Hoffman, Mayor Hall, members of the
Common Council and heads of the CITY de- part
ments and Commissioners, and judges OF the
State Courts and maby other prominent per-
sons. As The procession passed the platform
the immense Gro" DIS that we're gathered about
the platform greeted it with cheering and wav
ing banners.
AT mass meeting at Tompkins Square held
after the procession there was vast assem-
PLACE. Speeches were made by Horace Gree
icy, ex Gov Solomon of Wisconsin, and Os-
S wau oHendorfer. Gov. Solomon in bis adj
ra aass SAID that the whole civilized world had
who 10 rejoice at the victory of Germany,
VINO unlike France was actnsted hv the snirit

If it is SO, Prove 1t.

GEN. GRANT denies that he ordered the
troops to be used in Louisiana, with Cat
ling guns, to keep the anti Grant Repuli-
cans from the State Convention. He never
received any telegram on the subject, so
he says, and did not know that the troops
were to be employed.
Very well if this be true, let him prove
it by promptly dismissing his brother-in-
law, Collector Casey, with Messrs. Pack
ard, Lowell, Joubert, and Herwig, all
United States officials, who had the troops
there with the guns and directed their
action.
The fact that four weeks have elapsed
since this unprecedented wrong was COM
mltted, and ttat Gen. Grant neither said
nor did anything about it until he was
driven into corner by the New Orleans
dele CATION, renders his denial rather super
t1uous. ii he had not been morally at
least a party to the conspiracy, he would
not lave waited month, but would at
once have proclaimed that he should deal
with its authors as they deserve. Suppose
the thing had been done against him in
stead of in his favor, would he have re-
NAMED Sd long lifeless? However, let
him now punish his guilty friends with
out mercy, and the people will believe
him. But he should remember that his
reputation for perfect truthfulness was
injured in his dispute with President
Johnson and his Cabinet. His sssevera-
ton, unsupported by decisive acts, will not
avail to scrt en- him from all share in the
guilt of this New Orleans outrage.-N.

Personal.

Here is the way Richardson, of the Daven-
port Democrat, delneates DIR. Shallenberger,
the great Fever and Ague cure man:
CDR. A. T. Sha.enberger's name is
household word in majority of homes
throughout the Western and Southern States,
but to be intimately acquainted with the man
is the lot of comparatively few among those
even who have received lasting benefits at his
hands. Twenty five miles, or Whereabouts, on
this side of murky, smoky, dingy, busy,
busting Pittsburgh, out of the dense clouds
of its forge and foundry fires, away from the
incessant rattle of its machinery, Is situated
the rural little village of Rochester, Pennsyl-
vania not to be mistaken for its populous
namesake in New York State, for this modest
town would have been scarcely heard of out
side of its immediate neighbOrhood were it
not that it was the home of public benefac-
tor, the place from which he has sent to all
parts of the Union that great and good rem
edy, which has done more towards the reliev-
ing of poor suffering humanity, who burn with
fever or shivcr with ague, than all the remedies
ever placed before the public put together.
This we would have the reader under
stand is no idle boast, beyond the knowledge
of the writer, but born of experience. and
proved by knowledge of actual facts. Among
our own personal acquaintance, we have
those who, Frustrated by the alternate burn
ings and freeZings of Americas direst disease,
have found all doctors at a loss, all boasted
panaceas useless, until the friendly hand of
DR.. Shallenberger has come to their aid with
the weil-known bottles of familiar pills,
which have proved an intallibe antidote, ar
resting the chills, and disarming the fever de-
mon as if by magic. For fifteen years has the
doctor been busily employed in preparing for
the public this prescription, which is not one
of those cure-alls calculated to heal every dis
ease, but well-considered, fully proved, and
never-failing resort for the malarious disease
it processes to cure. Those who know, as we
do, the character of the man, his standing in
society, his perfect honor and uudoubted in
tegrity, and his aversion to anything border
ing on charlatanism, will indorse every word

OYer.DOctOred.

Without any dsrespect to the members CT the
medical profession, a profession honored by all
thinking men, it is only just 10 say that they are
too thick on the ground. The consequence is
that the community is doGtored over much. When
nature needs onlT the gentle stimulant and alter
alive, which has become famous throughout the
country as q reliable medicine, under the name of
Hosetter's Stomach Bitters, she is not unfrequent
y dosed with a dozen prescriptions, all expert
mental, from the Pharmacoppa. This is an evil,
end proves that the practice of medicine is far
from being at all times healing art. At this per-
iod of the year, when the fall of the leaf indicates
that decay has seized upon the vegetable kingdom,
many harrassing diseases pre- alent. Chief
among these may be mentioned intermittent fever
and bilious remitteut The eXhaiations rising
from decomposing vegetation, and the heavy dews
aid fogs, are very apt to generate these COM
plants. The wisest policy is to protect the system
by a course of HOstetter's stomach Btters at the
commencement Of the fall. Much suffering may
thereby be avoided. But if the disease has already
begun, its periodical visitations may readily be
checked, and broken up by this active, yet harm
less, vegetable tonic.
But be on your guard against the charlataus
who attempting to palm Off under various
names, unwholesOne compounds, which they pre-
tend to compare favorably with the great national
elixir which has long since swept more formidable
opposition from the field. Bear in mind that every
bottle of genuine Hostetter's stomach Btters is
authenticated by spIendidly engraved label, and
fac s{fHils of the sign manual of the firm. Put
UP in bottles only, and cannot be obtained in
bulk

Confession OF Faymaster Hodge.

WASHINGTON September a.
THE following is a complete copy of
Major Hodges letter ofcontession:
WASHINGTON, Sunday, Sept 10.
General 3. f. Brlce:
SIR: | have to inform you that l am
unable to close my accounts, and that |
owe a frightful amount, about $4,000,
which sums | have lost, during the last
few years, in stock speculation, going
deeper and deeper in the hope of retriey-
ing myself.
L have no excuse or mitigation of my
course to offer, and prepare to take the
consequences OF my sin. l had thought, a
week ago, of escaping from New York,
but believe l have done better in return
ing here to deliver myself up, as l felt l
was bound to Go.
l can, Of course make no pretense or
excuse for the systematic deceit l have
practised on you, and the advantage / have
taken OF the special position I have held ;
and feel that you, especially, have cause to
be Justly memorable against re. | have
been led on by the infatuation that alw avs
attends the course l entered on, hoping
elways to recover my loss, and conceal my
crime. | believe it is really relief to be
forced to discovery, for l have been in a
hell on earth for years, and the alterations
OF hope and fear l have gone through, and
the constant care to AVOID detection
were becoming too strong.
| dcsile to turn over all the property |
have as small set-oH against my def
cheney, and, sitter giving any information
that wi assist in settling my accounts, or,
if possible, in recovering portion of what
| have lost expect to take the full pun
lsbment awarded for my o1lense.
In justice to two parties in this city,
through whom [ have made some specula-
tions, [ wish to say that they are perfectly
innocent of any knowledge that 1 was
using public funds. There are small bal
ances with each Of these parties to my
credit, whenever accounts are closed
The losses | made were almost entirely il

accounts l hold subject to your order. l
eGdcavored to induce them to make good
the amount lost with them, which they
knew was public money; but they have
refused. L have been trying to make up
my mind to this confession for some days,
aud was on the point Of doing so this
morning in your office; but | could not
bring myself TO say it, and wanted time to
write my wifi e. whom this frightful in
formation will kill. God forgive me for
what | have done to her and my children !
All I ask from you or the authorities is
that, if possible, some small sum may be
left her. l erclose the keys of my safe
and box containing all my old accounts,
etc. BY present vouchers, receipts, etc,
