In the Council, on Monday, the Draft
OF Budget for l874-75 with the Money
Bills attached thereto was to the
second reading and elected some e%nterest-
ing discussion, resembling more in some
of its features, a social entertainment than
a financial debate. An amendment put
by Mr.. Rosenstand to the money Bill
Uncertain Expenses, gave him an oppor-
tunity to deliver a smart lecture on tree
planting and tree preserving. We beg to
refer our readers to the Official Report,
which we hope will soon appear, for the
discussion elected by this little inter
mezzo.
The Speaker Of the Committee on
the Budget, 5Ir. Sarauw, said essen
TALLY the same as we find in the
Report, the chief point of which is the
following: "We are sorry to find that
no change has been made in the situation
since last year what was said then may
be said now the difference is this, that
the Governments promises (of retrench-
ments) have grown a year older, but have
we approached nearer the time to see
them fulfilled p
eve do not see the use of proposing
such small retrenchments as, according to
the Colonial Law, we will be allowed to
vote on under the Money Bills, as this
would not lead to reducing the expendl-
ture to what it ought to be-.---.We
will therefore refrain entering into de-
tails. but submit to the Council to address
the Government the following requests:
Ito lay before the Council as soon
as possible Drafts of Ordinances to
remodel, reorganize, and simplify
all Branches Of the Administration,

in order to be able to reduce

DHYSICIANS AND DRUGGISTS.

A prominent New York physician lately
complained to Dundas Dick, about his San
dalwood Oil Capsulas, stating that some
times they cured miraculously but that a
patient of his had taken tn em for sometim-
without effect. On being Informed that
several limitations were made and sold, he
inquired and found that his patient had
been taking capsulas sold in bottles, and not
DUNDAS DICK & cos.
What happened to this physician may have
happened to others, and DUNDAS DICK &
CO., take this method of protecting "Oil Of
Sandalwood" from this disrepute.
PHYSICIANS who once prescribe the
Capsulas will CONTINUE TO Do so, for
they contain the PURE OIL in the BEST
AND CHEAPEST form.
OIL OF SANDLEW00D is fact super
seding every other remedy, sixty Cspsules
ONLY being required TO insure safe and
certain cure in six or eight days. From
no other medicine can this result be had.
DICKS Sort CAPSULES solve the prob
lem long considered by many eminent ply
sicians, of how to avoid the nausea and dis
gust experienced in swallowing, which are
well known to detIact from, if not destroy,
the good effects of many valuable remedies.

POLITICAL NOTES.

William A. Wallace has been renomi.
mated for the State Senate, and John
II. Orvis for President Judge, by the
Democrats of Clinton county.
The Democrats of The Second Con
ktessioual District Of Philadelphia,
nominated Benjamin Rush, the vote
standing. Rush l03, Hepburn 5. The
nomination was made unanimous
Mr. J. Proctor Knott, who was
member of the Forty second Congress,
and gained a national reputation as a
humorist by his remarkable satircal
speech upon Duluth, against tle North
ern Pacific land grant, has been ucmi-
mated for Congress again in the Fourth
Kentucky district,
IL looks now as il Senator llamlin, oil
Maine, would serve another term in the
United States Senate in spite of the op-
position to him. A singular feature of
the contest is that all of the candidates
are lifelong Office holders. Mr.. Ham
lin has been in Office almost from the
time he became Of age, and his cempeti-
tors, Gov. Perham and Collector Wash
burn, have almost similar records. This
fact greatly diminishes the chance Of a
successful opposition to Mr.. Hamlin,
/ since the main objection to him is that
he has had his nose in the public crib
long enough. Tribune.
GENERAL GARFIELD was renominated
by the Congressional Convention of his
district, at Painesville, Ohio, on Thurs
dag. The vote stood 100 TO 81. the
latter being all blanks. The active op-
position which had been manifested to
his denomination led many to suppose
that the contest would be close. The
result, however, was to bring out to the
primaries the entire Republican
strength, and to give him an overwhelm.
lug majority of the Convention. There
is no doubt that the opposition to Gar.
field is good deal demoralized, and yet
it is intense and bitter in the extreme
An independent nomination is talked of
and the name of Lieutenant Governor
Hart is suggested. But Garfield will &c
through, not by his usual 1000 major

quires.--Pttsburgh Telegraph.
The Republican Convention o
Montgomery county at its late session
renominated Gov. Hartranft. Th'
election does not take place until mex
year, but it has been understood by tn.
people Of the State that the Governo
will be renominatcd. 1t is doubtful i
he will have as much opposition as a
last convention, when it was very slight
We suppose the honor of first suggestin!
the denomination of our excellent Gov
ernor must be given to the Coustitu
tional Convention, which made him tn
only man on earth eligible to reelection
to that Office. Gov Hartranit's caree
has been wonderful one. He was tn
worst abused man that ever stood TO
Office, yet he was elected by one of th
largest majorities recently given gov
erpor in this State. By.a wise and pru

Aneri'a the Paradise Of Thieves.
WHERE OUR CRIMINALS COME FRON


The story of Charlie Ross, the bright
boy of four years who has been kidnap-
ped from bis parents and home, has
sent a thrill of alarm aud horror into
every family, and almost into every
breast. There are few who would rot
cheerfully join a mob to lynch the pre-
petrators of this atrocious crime, were
they but known. The dangerous clas-
ses," as we call them, are becoming so
numerous, so we'll organized, so power
fu, that it will become a necessity for
every honest man in the community to
become police officer, and aid in the
determination of these bands of thieves
and burglars. There is not a govern
ment of State or tovn in Europe where
felons, thieves, and rogues o! all classes
will not be dealt lenientl5 with on con-
dition they will 60 to America. 1t is
said that in one of the Continental ma
tions four years ago, teachers daily went
into the prison to teach prisoners Eng.
lish, before they embarked for America
to which country they had agreed to &c
or condition that they were released.
Thus the United States has become the
receptacle of the telons Of Europe
Neither is 1t much better amongst us
if thieves, and suspected thieves will
leave the county or town, with pledge
never to return, magistrates and juror;
are often hut too happy to get rid O.
them on such easy terms.
Yearly crowds Of smart, clever, well
educated boys are turned out from ou
public schools and free academies, VIII,
would be glad to learn some trade o.
honest employment, but the trades, un
ions forbid taking apprentices excepting
under the most limi ted restrictions, and
these bright boys become idlers, and fin
ally thieves. The criminal classes ar
not on y numerous, but they are S
thoroughly organized, so powerful, an,
so wealthy that they control and com
mand the best legal advice and the
most powerful Influence that money anC
talent and perfect organizations can OBJ
tain. The robting of banks, the forg
ing Of bonds, the cOuterleiting Of stoc
certificates, and the kidnapping of Char
lie Ross are the work of these danger
Gus classes, who can only be extermiu
ated BY certainty and severity of pun
ishment which is not visited upon then
here, and which alone can prevent tn
United States from continuing to b
what it has long been, the paradise c
hieves.-LancaSter mtcllgencer.

That intelligent merchant, Stephen
Girard, made this observation, which
may be poudered by young merchants:
"During my long commercial experience
have noticed that no advantages result
from telling ones business to others, ex-
eept to create jealousy or competition
when We are fortunate and to crafty
our enimies when otherwise" He was
never known to disregard this theory.
Put-in-Bay, South Bass Island, Lake
Erie, is 20 miles from Sandusky City,
Ohio, and contains about LOO acres.
The place is so called because Commo-
dore Perry "put in" there after his vic
tory over the British feet, in 1872, to
bury his dead.

Here is the wall and the warning Of
an unhappy Nebraskan: Don't to Ne

here, because it is hill here in tie shape
of l,244,57S,9 ,900,000 100000 grass

harvest, and now every piece of corn
and potatoes is ruined. Dave Hill lost
his entire crop of corn-about fifty acres
in all. Smith has lost all but two acres
of corn. The fact is, lesolatiOn reigns
supreme in the fields. There is fair
prospect of want for the homesteaders,
and likely, starvation for some. Should
like to borrow 500 of some one that we

IT seems that some people cannot pos
sibly be happy unless they are engaged
in President making. 1t has been 60
ing on to very considerable extent all
over the country for the past few
months, and now a new box of candida
tes has been opened at Washington.
The papers of the Capital City seem to
be particularly lively in this respect, and
the issues of last Sunday just overfowed
with suggestions. A correspondent,
described by The Sunday Herald as a
very prominent gentleman, urges the
nomination Of General Sherman by the
Democratic party, stating that he is the
most popular man in the Eastern States
and that the removal Of the hcadquart-
ers of the army TO St. Louis will have
the effect of rendering him the mos
popular man in the West. An anony'
mouse correspondent, in the same pa
per, refers to the possible candidatur'
on the Republican ticket of Chief Jus
tice Waite, bu, speaks in terms of praisj
of Secretary Bristow's action, in hi
short time in the Treasury Department
and nominates Linn as the standard
bearer of the people for 1876. The'

The Supreme Court Of Illinois has
recently confirmed q verdict of $4,000
damages given by the jury to widow,
made so by ardent spirits sold to her late
husband. The facts OF the case it is
unnecessary to recapitulate. The de-
fendant supplied the man with that
which rendered him incapable of self
care. He went to bed upon railway
track, and was found dead the next
morning. Judge Scott, in reviewing
the case, said:
"He who deliberately sells that which
he knows will infame the passions, de-
prive the party of the control of his
Judgment, and render him for the time
being incapable of exercising proper
care for personal safety, or that of his
property, must be prepared for the con-
sequences that may follow"
