Now, Go so tire White House and
Get YOMr Payw

WASHINGTON, May ia great stir
was caused in the House To-Day by Dan
Voorhees,, who has been the most rabid
of the knights OF the Golden Circle in
Indiana, coming out in bold and bitter
raid on Horace Greeley. His conduct
seemed to take the Democrats by sur
prise, and when he virtually announced
himself for Grant as against Greeley
and the Republicans, the galleries, which
had been packed by Grants office hol
ders, applauded him. Some of tie
Democrats became very much excited,
and for while it looked like a grand
row. Roosevelt, Randall, Sherwood
and Speer pelted VOORHEES, with ques-
tons, and though he stood his ground
boldly, he was made to feel very soon
that he had no support among the body
of the Democrats. Not one sustained
him in his new departure toward the
Presidential camp. When he sat down
fseveral Democrats cried out, "Now go
to the White House and get your pay" "
The only effect Of Voorhees, speech
here has been to eXasperate those in
clined toward the Liberal camp and
make them the more fixed in their deter
mination to oust the nations robbers.

Mistaken Lenity,

1t seems as if those nations which
have decapitated persons condemned to
death on the ground that it was the
most merciful method of judicial execu-
ton, have been making grand mistake,
and condemning their victims to useless
and prolonged agony. AT least, num-
ber of eminent German saranS have de-
cidcd that the head retains conscious
ness for some hours after it is severed
from the body, and suffers meantime
exquisite pain. The Emperor William
has been convinced by their arguments,
and has decreed the abolition Of decap-
itation throughout the Empire.-Lan-
caster EEpreSS.

ga CARD.--The Tribune has ceased
to be party organ, but the unexpected
nomination of its editor at Cincinnati
seems to involve it in new embarrass-
ment. All must be aware that the po-
sition Of journalist who is at the same
time candidate is, at best, irksome and
difficult; that he is fettered in action
and restrained in criticism by the knowl-
edge that whatever he may say or do is
closely scanned by thousands eager to
find in it what may be SO interpreted as
to annoy or perpIex those who are sup
porting him as a candidate, and to
whom his shackled condition will not
permit him to be servicea5le. The un-
dersgned therefore wishdraws absolute.

of Mr.. Voorhees, on Monday last has
had just the opposite effect in that State
from what he intended II will help,
instead Of injuring, the Liberal Repub-

hesitating as to their course, have de-

have been convinced by the Tall Syca

As a medicine for children, the Panaeea is
in every way, calculated to take the rlace of
the endless variety of drugs which are annr
ally sold for that purpose, and which are Of
ten very injurious. A medicine which pos
sesses the qualities Of a cathartic as well as
mild Alternative, and which is capable of ar
resting disease without the least injury to the
child, is of incalculable value to every moth
er. As cathartic, it is very effective yet it
does not, if given in proper quantities, cause
nausea or distress to the stomach or bowels.
1t is very pleasant to the taste, which is a
very important feature for medicine for
children. As a PREVENTIVE of disease it is
unprecedented, as it acts directly upon the
scrofulous diseases, it is the most effective
medicine ever offered to the public; and, if
given regularly and perseveringly, those
eruptive diseases so common to children IN ay
