The Whitewaslling Report.

The whitewashing report of the Poland
Committee of Investigation into the
Credit Mobilier infamy is now the
property of Congress, and the House
of Representatives can do with
it what they will. But outside and be-
yOnd this incompetent or unfaithful COM
mittee stand the jury of the whole people
of the United States, and from them will
come a verdict different from that rendered
by Judge Poland and his associates.
That verdict will affix the brand of guilt
upon every man implicated in this intamy.
and the whitewashing committeeman will
not escape. The punishment of Ames
will be approved by this higher court.
The expulsion of Brooks will be endorsed.
1t is proper that both these dishonored
heads should be bowed in shame. But
the jury of the nation will not suffer the
escape of Colfax. Dawes, Scotield, Bing-
ham, Kelly, Garfield or any of their fellows
in corruption. They will not permit such
a mockery of justice as the conviction OF
the highway robbers of the Credit Mobil-
Ter infamy and the justification of its
sneak thieves. Nor will they be content
with mere ten days expulsion from a
seat to be soon resumed by those of the
offenders who have unhappily been elect
ed to the next Congress. The people are
just now properly severe on murderers.
In this era of ruffianism and as
i
penalty of the law shall be inflicted on
those who wilfully take human life.
A conviction for manslaughter will not
satisfy the community. The commuta-
| ton of the death sentence of convicted
murderer to imprisonment for life would
now b. regarded as an offense against So
ciety. On the same principle the people
will demand that the cutthrOats of the
country's honor. the men who have muir
dered the nations reputation ana made
| the highest positions ir the Republica by
word throughout the world, shall pay the
extreme penalty of the law. Expulsion
| from the offices they have degraded is not
enough. 1t is not sufficient that the trusts
they have betrayed shall be taken out OF
their soiled and dfshonored hands. The
law which should be sacredly enforced
prescribes the punishment for their crimes
"a fine not exceeding ten times the
amount of their bride, and Imprisonment
in penitentiary not exceeding ten years.
From the Atlantic to the Pacific a cry will
go up for the full measure of justice
against these faithless public servants, one
and all, that they may be made to disgorgt
their ill-gotten gains and to put on the
felon's garb. so that all the world may
know them for what they are. No white
| washing report from an unfaithful com
mittee will be permitted to shield the mean
est of the culprits from the public con
demnation they all merit alike.-N Y

The udgment of the Public,

Doctors disagree. Each school of medicine has
Its theories, and these theories differ wide
ly, 1t is clear that few, If any of them, be
right. Bat if medical men cannot agree upon any
d nic ulty in agreeing to notorious matters OF
fact. For instance, they have observed for many
cure dyspepsia, constipation, rheumatism, bill
iousness, nervous debility, and many other dis
eases which the prescriptions of the pharmacopmis
do not and cannot cure; and they know, therefore,
that there be mistake about It, On this
point they firm and positive. They take their
stand incontrovertibe facts, and they state TO
another verbally, and sometimes by letter,
what they know about relieving and preventing
sickness with the standard vegetable tonic and al
terative of America.
Here, then, the inv aid has guarantee of value
that can be relied upon, VIZ: the sober Judgment
sf the public. After twenty years of observation
and reflection. the American people pronounce
Hostetter's Bitters the best invigorating
Isting medicine at their command, and give evil
dence o the faith that is in them by purchasing,
more of it than of any other advertised medicine
manufa ctured on this continent. large number
on other points in therapeutic admit the extraor-
binary merits Of the Bitters tonic and altera-
tive, and recommend 1t preventive of l.
| Iarious diseases, and u remedy in intermittent
| and remittent feyers.

Spring Floods.

There is a field for philanthropic en-
cheering in the management of spring
floods. Many of these are occasioned by
the formation of ice gOrges or dams in
rivers at points where the channel is mar
row or Obstructed by bridges. These
gorges, upon breaking up, destroy an I'M
mense amount of property in steamers
and wharves in the Mississippi, every
year, and one has for some days been
threatening the city of Port Deposit and
other points on the Susquchanna river.
Now that the invention of giant powder
and dualin have placed in our hands an
explosive that exerts itself with equal Wig
or i'm all directions, downward as well as
upward, we ought to manage these ice
dams. at points where they are wont to
form, competent authority and the neces-
sary apparatus, to be determined by ex-
perimenting, ought to be provided for
their demolition. This subject is kindred
to the management of CONGREGATIONS, and
there is great need of scientific study in
both of these branches OF public SERVICE
EXCHANGE.

MEDICAL GUESSwORK.-The PROBES
SIGNAL treatment of diseases is in great
measure experimental. If one medicine
fails another is tried, and sometimes this
hit-or-miss practice is pursued until tn.
resources of the faculty are exhausted.
Thi in the truest sense of the word, Is
empiyicism. But when the physician has
made valuable discovery, he is called by
his professional brethren an Enpiric be-
cause he advertises the result of his labor
and research. When DIR. Walker of Cali
fornia introduced his celebrated VINEGAR
BITTERs as "A remedy for all blood dis
eases. he struck tremendous blow at the
empirical system, as applied to our hospi-
tails, and in private practice. 1t was soon
apparent that his medicine was not mere
palliative or alleviativ- shat only modified
the symptoms of disorder; but that it
reached the very source of the n,ntady in the
blood and the secretions, and literally
rooted 1t out. The process of renovation
and disintectiOn went on together, vigor
was impaired to the organs from which
the virus of disease had been expelled.
That such is the effect of this peculiar
vegetable remedy, no one who has had
opportunities of observing its OperateDn
in cases of liver complaint, indigestion,
affections of the bowels, govt, rheuma-
tism and pulmonary disorders, can posi-
bly doubt.

The Northern Pacific Railroad COmpa-
ny now has in full operation, with daily
trail :, 321 miles of road. a distance of
nearly two hundred miles more is con-
structed. The Minnesota Section, imme-
diatelv on its completion, entered upon
satisfactory business, including local traf-
ic and the large carryingstrade of the
Northwestern British Settlements and the
Hudson Bay Company. The recently
completed section of sixty five miles. on
the Pacific coast, at once commands a
profitable business between Puget Sound
and the Columbia River, heretofore done
by coastwise steamers. On the opening
ef sprin@. with more than 800 miles of
Road in regular operation, the Company
will control the extensive and productive
trade of the Upper Missouri, much of
Montana and the Northwest: The earn
ings of the Road for 1873 will be large.
Arrangements for pushing construction
vigorously the present year are progress
ing satisfactorily.
OF the nearly Ten Million acres of land
accruing to the Company in connection
with the portion of Road now virtually
constructed, some Two Million acres, OF
excellent average quality, are in market
and their sa' e and settlement progressing.
The average price thus far realized is
S5.G6 per acre--which is at the rate OF
more than 100000 per mile of road for
the whole grant.
The Company has already begun the
process of redeeming and canceling its
First Mortgage Gold Bonds, as they are
now being received at 10 in payment and
exchange for the Company's lands.
With these accomplished results and
most favorable prospects, the Company is
now selling its First Mortgage 40 Bonds
for the purpose of completing its line Of
Road. We recommend them as well Sc.

Between four and six O'Clock of every sun

air of easy nonchalance, as IL they had no pa

Perhaps you are large man and are getting
down from shed roof. Your stomach is
pressed against the caves and your elbows are
dug into the shingles. You have got down too
far to crawl back, and are perfectly unable to
see your legs or anything near them, and in
this condition of complete helplessness, and
perspiring at every pore, you deploy your feet
in agonizing apprehension. Despite the danger
of your position you cannot help but realize the
awfully groteslue spectacle you are unavoda-

diced observers, and the sensation intensiies
instead of relieving the misery. IL is at such q
