Not Endorsed.

The Harrisburg Telegraph, previous
to the election of John j. Patterson to
the United States Senate by the South
Carolina Legislature, and since, has con-
tanned articles highly eulogistic of Mr..
Patterson, and pledging him the hearty
endorsement of the Pennsylvania Re-
publicans. To this, that staunch old
Republican journal, the Chambersburg
Repository, demurs, and raps the Isle-
graph somewhat sharply for its pre-
sumption. 1t says of the article alluded
to-
sit matters little to us whether the
incidents in the life of this good and
great man be correctly chronicled or
not, few more virtues or a few less
vices than are his making little differ

licans of the Keystone State will heart.
lily endorse his election. The muster
roll of the Republicans of the Keystone
State is pretty large, as was demon
strated at the late election, and some of
US would rather reserve the right to do
as we think best about endorsing the
election of such man as John j. Pat
terson is widely known to be, TO the
United States Senate. The State fSouth
Carolina has sinned previously against
the Union and previously has she been
punished, but her SHINING has not been
such as to warrant the imposition OF
such shame and ignominy as the elec-
tion of Mr.. Patterson to the Senate. In
the days of our bitterest anger we could
not have wished TO visit upon her such
unmitigated disgrace"

A Remarkable Case.

A very unusual and wonderful phe.
nomenon was found within the body of
William Millaur, aged about nineteen
years, son of Mr., Joseph Millaur, of
Cedarville, North Coventry township,
Chester county, who died on Monday
morning, December 8. The deceased
had been afflicted for several years with
curvature of the spine, enlarged spleen
and liver. Ascites, or abdominal dropsy
set in about eight months ago, as the
result of the enlargement of the liver
and spleen, interfering with the proper
functions ofthe body gradually increas.
ing until his death.
The case was under charge of several
physicians of this vicinity, since he was
first afflicted. DR.. j. Davis, who has
been his attending physician for several
months past, performed post mortem
examination on Wednesday last, in the
presence ofseveral persons, and, strange
to relate, after having drawn about
eight gallons of dark colored serous fl uid
from the abdomen, found that the liver,
spleen, kidneys, stomach and bowels
were completely absorbed, without
leaving any portion of them remaining
nothing being found in the abdomen
but portion of the omentum and the
serous fluid. How long this had been
the case we are unable to say, but GER
tainly it could not have been long,

How many such papers have we? OF
