The LOST CHILD.-The Philadelphia child
mystery is still unsolved despite the unCeasing
$50, 900 reward by the mayor of that city, cap
ped by an additional offer OF like amount by
a wealthy citizen of New York who feels deep
sympathy aud interest in the matter, besides
$4,000 more by the police department of Phila-
delphia-making the total reward offered
$4,000. The excitement is unabated and the
sympathies Of the public undiminished. A
woman was arrested at Bennington, Vermont

Serious riotng is now reported in George

majority in the county, but they are divided
into two factions, led respectively BY Bowley
and Jones, cOlOred members of the Legisla.
ture, who seek each to control the county
politics. On Wednesday last, Bowey meeting
was broken up by the Jones faction and a
cOlored bystander was severely wounded in the
melee. Messengers we're sent out during the
night and the Jones party received reinforce
ments from the country. During Thursday
some Of them attempted to kill Bowley, and
the friends of the latter retaliated by attacking
the house of Jones on Thursday night. In
this attack there was some sharp firing, and
Jones and several others we're slightly wounded.
On Friday, the Jones men attacked the house
OF Bowley. who, to save his life, surrendered to
the Sheriff and was placed in Jail. The excite
ment continued on Saturday, the town being
full Of armed men, though no collision on that
day is reported. The whites had no part in
the riot, but we're fearful "least some careless
word OF act should cause an attack on them,
which they have no means Of meeting"

One of the beauties of lynch law is shown BY
an incident which happened few days ago in
Kansas. A mob went to the house of man
who they supposed had stolen horse, and,
dragging him from his bed, hung him to a
tree, and then shot twenty-five bullets into
him. The next morning they found they had
got the wrong man this one being hard
working laborer, with three children) and that
the right man lived just next door.

A Chicago court has decided that the Rev.
Chss. H. Cheney was never legally deposed
from the ministry of the Protestant Episcopal
Church. As Dr. Cheney is now connected
with another religious denomination, having
been elevated to Bishopric in the Reformed
Episcopal Church, this decision cannot effect
aim, personally, in any considerable degree.
II may be important, however, because it passes
upon some legal points of interest to all
eeaurehes, and rarely, If ever, before reviewed
py civil tribunals in this country; as well as
because il illustrates somewhat that stretch
81 authority and rigidity of discipline which,
70 'as Judgment of some, made the schism in

The Republican Leaders in Distress.

Especial to the Chicago Tribune
WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-The President
will be waited upon this week by
the Pennsylvania Republican Senators
and members of Congress, for the
purpose of calling his attention to the ne
cessity deyolving upon the Administration
of providing ways and means for the pre-
servation of the Republican party from ut
ter destruction There is growing feel
ing among truly loyal politicians that, un-
less something is done at once the party
will go to the ''Demnition Boywows. y
Gen Grant, thus far, has failed to heed
the great movement for reform going on in
the West. He has doggedly shut his ears
to the warning OF his party organs, and
persisted in continuing along in the beaten
path. Messrs. Cameron, Kelley, Ross,
and other shrewd Pennsylvania politicians
have discovered the handwriting on the
wall and, desiring to avert the fate that
awaits the party, they, with the other tru-
ly good statesmen from the Keystone State
about Friday will go up to the White
House and labor with Mr. Grant, and en-
deavor to open his eyes to the desperate
condition in which they find themselves.
Those who know the President best hone
for but little consolation from that quarter
He still retains the idea that he is the
most popular man in the world, and be-
lieves that the Granger movement has on
ly reference to the price Of products, and
does not take cognlzance of or care abou
the great corruptions in high places.

Each month before the election, the peo-
pie were treated to a laudation of the Re-
publican party for its economy, because the
public debt was gradually, but steadily,
decreasing. But the moment the elections
were over, the statements began to show
an increase, and this month it is S,453,-
272 In three months it has been $780,
5lS,426. -. Republicans will say
that it was all owing to the Spanish war
prospects, and to the decrease of revenues.
The people will will say it is to be found in
Credit Mobilier swindles, Salary Grabs,
Government Stables for overpaid officials,
and to raids upon the Treasury, which Con

joins To public thieves the people shout,

dy and permanent cure Of Ague and Fever, or

have been cured by single bottle, with perfect
restoration of the general health. 1t is, however,
prudent and IN every case more certain Of cure, If
Its is continued in smaller doses for q week or

JocoB SCHEEFz, EsQ.,-Dear Sir: l deem it a
duty owe to you and suffering mankind, to state
the truly wonderful effects of your Bitter Cordial
with Chronic Diarrhpa, and after my return home,
the disease remained with me In Pittsburgh was
attended by Dr. Gazzam, McCracken, Hazlett, Corn
man, and other hrstclass practitioners in that city,
and was by them dosed with kino, Tannic Acid,
Morphia, Opium and even Nitric Acid, but without
any perceptible relief In this city have been at
tended as hundreds can testify by the very best
physicians, both of the old and homeopathic
school, but as usual their remedies were of but lit
tie or momentary effect.
A short time ago was induced to try your Bitter
Cordial. l have taken four bottles and l can now
truly say that | am apparently and, believe, al
most radically cured, and enjoy better health than
have done for 20 years. My bowels are entirely reg
ular, and have no hesitation in asserting that
