No member in tho House, during
the debate on this bill, hit the nail so
cmphatically on tho head as Mr.. Law
she, tho member from this county.
His speech on tho occasion (Which wo
will give at length next week, was
directly to tho point, and fully com,
pretended by every ono who under.
stood the Lumber business. But tho
lobby arguments delivered to the
members from paupiin, Huntingdon,
Elk, Snyder, etc, wcrc far more po-
tent in the end, and of course secured
their votes for tho ''ling" and against
the people. Mr.. Lawshc acquitted
himself nobly and is entitled TO the
thanks Of every lumbcrman who is
opposed TO levying blackmail on the
trade. The daily State Journal says :;

to his constituents the difference between repre-

The Shadow of Coming Events.

In the Summer of 1870 II Republican
State Convention was held in Missouri.
\ division Of sentiment was soon deyel
opcd on two questions; l. Protection
vs., Free trade; ?. Complete Amnesty VS..
misunderstanding State Constitu-
ton, framed in 1865, having sweepingly
DISTINGUISHED all who had favored the
rebellion. The Liberals" so.called,
framed n resolve on the tariff question
which the Regulars accepted; so the two
grounds Of diilcl ence were reduced to
one. The Liberals presented an amnes-
ty resolve which the Regulars rejected,
but offered to leave the question open to
be decided at the polls-each vote say
ing Yes OF No to universal amnesty rs
he should see fit. Wethought then, and
think still, that this should have been
accepted-that, since it was already
morally certain that all the Democrats
and nearly all the Republicans would
vote for and carry amnesty at all events,
there was no excuse for dividing the
Republican party on this question. The
Liberals, however boltcd and put up an
independent ticket, which all the Demo-
crot, supported, OF course, and which
was overwhelmingly elected. Just pom
der these figures:
lSGl-Prcsidcnt, Lincoln, 70, $50; Nc
ClclIan, 3l,G78.
lSGG-School superintendent, Parker,
G2,lS7; Williams, 4O,O5S.
lS6S-Govemor, McClurg, 2,1O7;

lSG8-President, Grant, S5,671; Sey-
mour, 5G.788.
lS7O-GovernOr, McClurg, 62,S54;
Gratz Brown, 164,771.
Gratz Brown Liberal over McClurg,
41,9l7.
At this election, several amendments
to the prospective Constitution of 1865
were voted upon, with the following re-
suit:
May rebels vote Yes, 117,51S; No
1896.
May they hold office ?-Yes, 112, 795;
No, 1921.
Complete amnesty carried by more
than six to Que.

The Arlington Estate.

1t ID incredible that a great nation, as
this is, will keep Mrs. Lees Arlington
estate upon such a title rs it now holds
by, without compensation. We do not
object to the principle laid down by An
drew Johnson III that fortnight's bel
lowing after he came into the presiden-
tial chair, which persuaded many weak
minded good people that Providence
had removed the meek Moses ia order
to bring in the stern Jashua for a reign
of vengeance. We mean that we do not
object to the principle that %"treason
must be made odious, and traitors i'm
po~verished." We have nothing to say
against q systematic co~nfscation; but to
pick out the property Of this woman
alone, and lay the strong hand on it,
does not become a great nation. In
stead of making treason odious, it will
make this nation contemplate.
True, there is q p%retense Of u sale for
taxes; but, in the first place, this will
save the transaction from contempt; and
in the second place, the title is worth
less for legality, for several reasons. II
it were legal to sell this estate for this
tax, and if it were legal for the United
States to buy it in at such q sale, still
the law will not allow a great and valua-
BILE estate Of LOO acres to be sold for a
tax of 500 OF when two or three acres OF
one corner would have brought the mon
ey. The fact that the tract was bid in
by the United States at $2G,S0Q, which
sum the government still holdsl in its
hands, shows the nature OF the sdle as to
this feature. Persons may make Savage

A Few Straws.

Tie Pittsburgh Dispatch (Radicd)ad-
mits that H%iortou's adjournment rosolu-
ton was intended merely to further the
denomination of Grant.
The New York Commrrrjgi advertiser,
lRadical) says Grant is undoubtedly
the first choice of the carpet-baggers
down South, but, says that paper, "tho
great point is to make him the choice of
the people" Ali there's the rub.
The New York Evening Post. n Repub-
lican organ, says: "The Republican
party, as represented in the United States
Senate, is now weaker in the country
than it has been since 1860. 1t will find
that delays are dangerous, and hat
what the people demand are not promi-
ses, but actual reforms"

in New Haven that he is one of $4,000

Ayers Cherry Pectoral,
For Diseases of the Throat aadsLungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whoeping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and ConsumDtion

Probably never before IN the whole history OF
medicine, has any thing won 50 widely and so
deeply upon the confidence Of mankind, as this
excellent remedy for pulmonary complaints.
Through \ long series of years, and among most
OF the races OF men il has risen higher and higher
In their estimation, as 1t has become better known.
Its uniform character aud power TO cure the va
TiOus affections OF the lungs and throat, have
made IL known as q reliable protector against
them. While adapted 10 mllder forms OF disease
and to young children, IL il at the same time the
most e~flectual remedy that Gun he given for incip-
lent consumption, and the dangerous affections
OF the throat and lungs. As a provision against
sudden attacks Of Group, IL should be kept on
hand In every family, and indeed a. all are some
times subject 10 colds aud coughs, all should DO
provided with this antidOte for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought In
durable, still great numbers of cases where the
disease seemed settled, have been completely
cured, and the patient restored to sound health
by the Cherry Pecf0rdl. SO complete Is its
mastery over the disorders Of the Lungs and
Throat, that the most obstinate Of them yield to u.
When nothing else could reach them, under the
Cherry PectOrdl they subside and disappear.
Singers aud Public Speakers find great
protection frOm Il.
asthma is always relieved and ofen wholly
cured by il.
bronchitis Ia generally cured by taking the
CHERRY Pcctordf in small and frequent doses.
SO generally are its virtues known, that We
need not publish the certificates Of them here, or
do mora than assure the public that its qualities
are fully maintained.
