The attempt of large number of Demo-
cratic leaders in New Y ork to get rid of Mr.
Tilden as candidate for governor, has failed.
Mr.. Tilden is Objectionable to the Tweed fac.
ton, still powerful, because after the New
York Times had exposed Tweed's robbery
Tilden took a hand in his overthrow-thougb
as chairman ofthe Democratic State Commit
tee he had for several years used large sum-
of money, freely contributed by Tweed to
carry elections. Although Mr.. Tilden's
name has been put to many doubtful circu-
las in campaign times, SINE of which
strongly limited to ballot box stufing, he is
very fair man and his success is a victory
OF the country against the city of New
York.

DIR. SCHENCK'S
PulmOnic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and
Mandrake Pills.


These medicines have undoubtedly performed more
cures of Consumption than any other remedy known
to the American public. They are compounded of
vegetable ingredients and contain nothing which can
be injurious to the human constitution.
Other remedies advertised as cures for Consump-
tion, probably contain opium, which is a somewhat
dangerous drug in all cases. and ii taken freely by
consumpive patients, it must do great injury; for
its tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
system, which Of course, must make cure impossi-
Bile.
Schencks Pnlmonc Syrup is warranted not to
contain particle of opium: 1t is composed of pow
erful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs,
liver, stomach and blood, and thus correct all NOR
bid secretous and expe all the diseased matter from
the body. These are the only means by which Con-
sumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic
Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the
only medicines which operate in this way, is obv-
GUS they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary
Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medi-
cine is accompanied by full directions.
DR.. Schenck is professedly at his principal Office,
corner Sixth and Arch Streets, Philadelphia every
Monday, and at the Quincy House, Boston, on the
following Wednesdays June 10th and 24:h, July Sth

THE war cloud that lowered so threaten
ingly over New Orleans few days since, is
suddenly dispelled. Doubtless the firm atti-
tude of President Grant led the revolution
lists to think better of their rash act. 1t is
also limited that leading Democrats informed
McEnery and his associates that the sort of
thing they were doing, just before the cleo
tioDs, was most untimely and would never
do. 1t is more probable, however, that they
concluded that Gen. Grant was not the sort
of man to fool with, being neither James
Buchanan or Gov. Kellogg.

COY. INGERSOLRS MESSAGE.

Gov. Ingersoll begins his message with some
very sound views on the Currency question.
The difficulty in this country is not that the
correct principles in regard to money are
not known, but that hitherto they have not
been expressed authoritatively by body Of
men sufficiently united and qualified by posi-
ton, character and attainments to secure ac-
ceptance on the part of those who are unable
to investigate for themselves. In the last
eight months much has been done to remove
this obstacle to the spread of truth. Whether
we look to the press, to Congress, or to dis
tinguished men out of Congress, like Cows.
Dix and Ingersoll, we find the weight of in
tellect and character in favor of re-
turn to real money and fixed standard Of
value. Regarded in this light, the value Of
the veto message of President Grant, the mes
sages of Cows. Dix and Ingersoll, the speeches
Of Messrs. Schuz, FentOn, Phelps, Jones,
Thurman, and others whom we have not
space to mention, is great beyond calculation.
Imitation, advocated by such men as Butler
and Morton, and opposed by the men we have
mentioned, will meet the same fate that befell
the former proposition of Messrs. Butler and
Morton to pay off the Five-twenties in green
backs. We hope that every Chief Magistrate
who, like the Governors of Connecticut and
New-York, may be so fortunate a, to have
the respect of all parties, will give prominence
in his message to the great question OF a
speedy return to the specie standard.
The finances Of Connecticut like the opin-
ions of her Governor, are of the most sub
stantial nature. The debt of the State, which
was ten millions at the close of the war. has
been reduced to five. The expenditures for
common schools have been upward of n million
and half, of which the income of the once
famous School Fund contributes less than a
tenth part. The deposits in seventy nine
savings banks on the 1st of January were
:7O,7G9, ,4OS, and had increased $2,24G.O10 during

strict construction. But tho suggestions OF
Senator Alcorn were strictly proper and emil
nently wise. Had there been no such expert
ence of corrupt and dishonest expenditures or
appropriations as those he recites in Louisiana
and Mississippi, we have had sufficient ac-
auaintance with the manner in which such
things are conducted by the General Govern
mcnt to warrant tho exercise Of the utmost
care and the strictcst supervision over the ex-
penditures to be made. Nor can it be denied
that the danger of promoting idlcness and
shftlessness on the part of the ignorant ne
croes who may como in under tho provisions
foi relief, is great. 1t is well known that
demagogues have operated upon the Gre
dulity of tho Southern blacks in this direc-
ton with great success since the close OF the
war, and that many of the evils from which
the South is suffering are directly attributable
to this cause. 1t would be worse misfortune
than that from which the inundated communl-
ties are suffering if the reckless distribution
of Government charities should give the mis-
cradle mischief-makcrs in those States oppor-
tunity to foster i'm the minds of the blacks the
delusion that they are tho wards of the Gov
crnment, in the sense of being supported with
out work.
New-York tribune., 1874-05-07

the year. These figures show that Connect
icut is one of tho "sold" States of the
Union. Her prosperity is of her own creation,
and therefore not dependent upon the pro-
ducts of the printing presses, which are max
ing the country rich by driving nearly every
dollar in gold and silver out of it.
The Governor recommends the reform of
tho "rotten borough" representative system
of the State, which is most antiquated and
unjust The largest cities of the State have
just the same number of representatives as
the least populous towns. All the old towns
and cities have two, except where new towns
and cities have been set Off in which cases
each of the divisions commonly has but one.
The fiourishing cities of Bridgeport and Mcr-
iden have but single representatives, while a
score OF the old agricultural towns, with less
population now than they had eighty years
ago, are represented by two. In the case of
some of them, the Governor says, the State
does not receive as much from them in taxes
as it pays their representatives. The same
objection exists in a modified form to the
Senate districts, which were formed when the
distribution of population was very different.
The existing apportionment of representatives
dates far back into colonial times, having
been transmitted from England where forty
years ago it was partially reformed after u
long and desperate struggle.
New-York tribune., 1874-05-07

An active contest Is now going on for the control
of the surveys in the Western Territories. The fol-
lowing is the present position of affairs During
many years the surveys at the West were almost
exclusively the work of army officers. Since the
war the magnitude and Importance of these surveys
has greatly increased, aud they have been divided
into two distinct classes; those under the Engineers
Bureau Of the War Department, and those supported
by appropriations through the Interior Department
and by tho funds of tho Smithsonian Institution.
To the latter class belong the exploring expeditions
of Prof. Hayden and of Major Powell The War
Department claim that all surveys Of States and
Territories should be put under their management
to insure unity of plan aud results On the other
side it is stated that the typographical surveys of
the army arc principally Of value only for specific
purposes. and that they do not yield tho general
results for the bonedt of science and tho country at
large that are attained by tho other surveys. The
dispute Crystalzes over Senate bill, authorizing
