place. In the House, the Centen-
NAL bill took up the day, and at one
time was lost. but a motion to re-
consider finally prevailed.
In the Senate, on the Sth, the &C.
neva award bill came up, and Sher-
man gave notice that when it and
the supplementary civil rights bill
were disposed of he would ask the
Senate to take up the new finance
bill. Adjourned till Monday. In
the House nothing of public interest
trsnspired.
On the 9th a bill was reported in
the House to provide for the collec-
ton Of monies due from the the Pa
ciic Railroad Companies The In
dian appropriation bill was consid-
cred, and proposition of Mr.. Beck
requiring vouchers for Indian sup
plies to he submitted to the execu-
tive committee of the Indian Peace
Commission occasioned some lively
discussion.
On the 1Itb, in the Senate. after
preliminary business, the Geneva
award bill came up, and was dis
cussed till the close of the session.
It was understood the bill would be
voted upon on Tuesday. In the
House a bill was introduced to fix
the Presidential term at six years
and preclude reelection. The In
dian appropriation bill passed. The
rules were suspended and the river
and harbor bill passed. The def
cheney bill came next in order; but
little progress was male upon it.

Another Laurel to the Trade of
Fremont.-Thers has recently been shipped
from the Fremont Foundry, one of the finest
engines ever built in this section. It was
consigned by Msssrs. D. June & Co., to the
COnneaut Paper Company, Ohio, ,aominally I2e
horse power, but capable of 40 horse power,
lifted with every modern improvement, and
built at cost Of over Sc, 500. It's total weight
was IS tons, with "a inch cylinder, June's
double circular valve, and fitted with June's
truss balance wheel with wrought center. It's
boiler was double rive ted-l4 feet long-60
inches in diameter, and contained I40 three
inch tubes. Its finish and ultimate perfect
running without a single hitch, reflects the
highest credit on the engineering ability OF
Messrs. June & Co., and is at once an honor
TO Fremont's mechanical resources. We have
further learned with much satisfaction that
the call for large machinery at this foundry is
becoming so common that the firm have pur-
chased and will shortly have in place new
planer capable Of executing work l6 feet long
and 4 feet square between Uprights, with
double tool box, will plain surface and angle
at the same time. Its weight is nineteen tons.
1t will be the finest machine Of the kind in
Northern Ohio. Keep doing gentlemen, and
may increased prosperity await YOU.

CONGRESS-.

In the Senate on the 4th bill was
introduced increasing the pensions
of persons who lost an arm above
the elbow. a bill was introduced to
resume legislative control of the Dis
trict of Columbia, and provide for
its government. 4 memorial of
Cleveland Bankers asking that Ma
tional Banks be allowed to issue
their reserves. Bill to obliterate
army distinctions, by which colored
citizens are incorporated in the va
rious regiments, was introduced.
The bill appropriatlng 100000 to aid
sufferers by the Mississippi overflow
was returned by request and an
amendment offered to increase the
appropriation to $250,OOO. The sup
Elementary civil rights bill was then
discussed. In the House the bill to
issue additional bank note circula-
tion to States having less than $40
per capita, and Withdrawing 20 per
cent of the legal tender notes until
they are reduced to $356,000,000,
was introduced. It limits interest
and discounts to Z $40 per cent.
Various other bills were introduced,
when Hon. Chas. Foster presented
the report on the San0orn contracts,
and recommended the passage of a
bill repeating the act under which
the contracts were made, and annul-
ing the contracts. An amendment
to the post Office appropriation bill
was agreed to limiting free delivery
to cities of 10000 population within
the corporate limits.
On the 9th in the Senate a motion
for an additional appropriation oi
$4,000 was made for the relief Of
the Mississippi sufferers, and a
lengthy debate sprang up. Bill was
recommitted. The civil rights bill
then came up. In the House Foster |
offered a resolution which was adopt |
ed, for a committee Of inquiry as to |
whether any government employees |
were engaged in conspiracy to pre- |
vent investigation, and to inquire in
to the circumstances Of the robbery
of the safe in the District Attorneys |
Office. The Centennial bill came |
up and occasioned debate which |
lasted till adjournment.
On the 9th the Senate Finance |
Committee reported q substitute for
House currency bill. The substi-
tute establishes free banking, re-
ouires banks to keep as reserve one
fourth of the coin interest received
on bonds, and a sum equal to five !
per cent OF its circulation in the U. |
S. Treasury with which to redeem |
it's paper. 1t also requires the law
full reserves of all kinds to be kept |
in their own vaults. It retires fifty |
cents of legal tender for each dollar
Of national currency issued until the !
legal tenders are reduced to $780, |
100000, and arranges for exchanging
currency for bonds, when 8 bank |
desires to withdraw its circulation. |
It provides also for the redemption |
Of legal tender notes in 5 per cent
gold bonds, payable at the pleasure
of the government, or in gold coin. |
No time has been set for consider
ing the bill. The house in commit |
tee considered the Centennial bill, !
but did not reach 8 vote.
On the 9TH, protest from Wash
iDgton printers, against reduction |
Of wages, was read in the Senate. |

tent made Glorious
by the arrival of beautiful spring,
with its balmy days, warm showers,
green fields and budding trees. But
with all this beauty and brightness
comes work. The gardens must be
made, lawns cleared up, house
cleaning, painting, papering, white
washing, &c, to be done. For as
Nature awakens to new life and puts
on fresh livery, so we, naturally,
initiate her in this; and what more
fitting example could we follow than
hers g?
Now, such being the case, it is a
matter of the greatest Importance to
know how best to do this, and where
to procure the necessary materials Of
the best quality, and at the same
time at the least cost. That ''tbe
best is the cheapest in the end" is 8
fact accepted and acknowledged by
all. First is the best at the begin
ming, lasts longer, costs no more for
the labor to apply than poor mate
rials, and lastly, there is very little
difference in the first cost.
lam speaking now of paints in
particular. Do you want to paint
white? There is no better or cheap
er made than the Phoenix Brand of
Eckstein Hills & Co., for which I
am special agent,
1t has now been tried in this city
and county for ten years, and never
for once, has it failed to give entire
satisfaction. And I do firmly be-
lieve and assert there is no better
lead made. For colored paints, for
cottages, DC, we have cur own
colored paints, which, for durability
and cheapness, far excel all liquid or
paints. They never fade or
peel, and retain their lustre for years
Zinc Paint, Graining Colors, Var
Dishes, and Brushes to use them, al
ways on hand, of the best quality,
and at the lowest price. So much
for paints.
Now, after painting, the smoky
walls must be papered and decorated;
whiteWash won't do, it rubs of, and
soon looks as bad as ever. Ihaye the
largest and best variety of Wall Pa
per ever brought to this city, which
must be sold at the lowest prices.
Now this is saying 3 good deal, butif
you think of papering, don't buy IN
til you look at my samples, and you
viii be convinced that this statement
is true. But doyou ask where is this |
place ? Where are such bargains to |
be had And where only are the |
best goods kept 2 Whyl Where |
else than at McCuIloeh's old and |
Drug Store! Established So |
years ago Come and see.

SUCCESS BASED Upon Merit.

1t is a snbject OF general remark, among
both wholesale and retail druggists, that no
medicine introduced to the American public
has ever gained such a popularity and met
with so large in all parts of the land, in the
same length of time, as DR., Pierce's Golden
Medical Discovery. This cannot depend upon
its having been more largely advertised than
any other medicine, as such is not the case.
The correct explanation, we think, is found in
the fact that this medicine produces the most
wonderful and perfect cures of very bad cases
Of bronchial, throat and lung diseases, is un-
doubtedly the most perfect and efficient reme-
dy for all kinds of cough that has ever been
introduced to the public, and at the same time
possesses the greatest of blood purifying and
STRENGTHENING properties that medical science
has been rble to produce, thus rendering it a
sovereign remedy not only in the cure OF Con-
sumption, Bronchitis, Horseness and Coughs,
but also for all diseases of the liver and blood,
as scrofulous diseases, blotches, rough skin,
pimpes, black specks and discoloratIous. It
has therefore wide range Of application and
usefulness, and it not only gives the most per-
feet satisfaction TO all who use it, but far ex-
cseds the expectations of the most sanguine,
thus eliciting the loudest praise, and making
permanent living advertising mediums OF ali
who use 1t. For these reasons it is that there
is not perhaps druggist in all the vast do
main OF this Continent, who tries to please his
customers and supply their wants, that does
not keep and sell large quantities Of this most
valuable medicine.
JEsUP, Iowa, May 5, 1873.
DR.. R. Y. PIERCE:
Dear Sir-We take pleasure in saying that
your medicines have sold entirely beyond our
expectations. We regard them as the best
medicines extant, and hear them spoken Of in
the highest terms OF praise.

The Cleveland Bank memorialists,
in asking Congress to be allowed to
issue the reserves, remarked that
"these individual and bank deposits
are mere matters of business,
not requiring government protec-
tion or supervision" and the Leader
in endorsing their demand cannot
avoid endorsing their conclusion.
To issue the reserves will release
65,000,000 securities upon which the
strength of the banking system rests,
and upon which the confidence of
the people in the system is based.
By just that much would their
strength be weakened, and by just
that much would the currency, in
consequence, be sttenuated. 1t would
add say twenty per cent to the Ma
tional Bank circulation, but at the
same time reduce the securities in
the same prOportion-a species of
imitation of the worst kind, because
resting upon inadequate securities
not so far as circulation is concerned,
for that is secured-but so far as
maintaining 8 security for deposi-
tors; in fact it it would be simply
reducing deposits to matter of
business between the bank and the
depositor, as to who should take the
risk Of the deposits, instead Of the
large security against loss which the
depositor now has in the heavy re-
serve which the banks are obliged to
maintain. The individual who has
his property mortgaged to half its
value has a reserve fund, but he who
has his property covered with mort
cages has no security to offer, and
his credit suffers. Just SO with the
banks with no reserves. Their Sc
curitios are all "out," and they have
no evidence Of reserve force with
which to confront the depositor.
Better a new bank here and a new
bank there, with its circulation and
reserve force based upon bonds
worth 116 and 1I9, or 4 to 6 per cent
more than gold, than a circulation
30 diluted that its natural strength
is abated and its forces weakened.
There is no increased issue of cur
rency in one case; in the other there
is no additional issue of bonds. On
the contrary, bonds would be with
drawn from market to afford basis |
for the new currency, and in proper
tion as they were withdrawn the
more valuable they would become,
and per consequence the more valu-
able would be the currency based |
upon them. 'Infation" beyond a |
certain point could not be reached,
for the bonds would become too
valuable to bank upon, and the fan
cied danger from "infation" conjur-
ed up by contractionists, would be
found to exist only in weird imagina-
tions..
