The nIassaohu.et,s Senator.

The election of Ex-Governor Wash

cessor Of Sumner. is a surprise in two
respects. lie has not beon prominent

election, received but one vote. He is
classed as moderate Republican. This
election is defeat of the Administra-

classed with Ohio, New Hampshire and
Connecticut as in opposition to the sort
OF rsdicalism which is represented by
President Grant. Tho elections which
began in the Northwest last fall, and
have been followed up in New England
recently, indicate the certain breaking
up of the Radical party. When it is

sitions, upon small salary, and the
Board of Trade see it every day, why do
they not make up case and tryithe

It is we'll, says an old adage. to learn
from ones enemies. Without stopping
to inquire the motive OF this suggestion,
and accepting it as tho expression of an
opinion, and not as jeer and taunt, we
do not hesitate to say that there is much
good sense in it. It points to course
of action which has not yet been tried.
We shall be held ine1cusable, if we do
not try it. I. will not DO to determine
in advance that it is useless or impracti-
cable. It is neither. We have the
best OF reasons for moving with vigor
and determination. II we expect any
change for the better in the state OF
things here, wo must be vigilant and
determined. The business men Of Co.
lumbia did an admirable thing in sum-
ming up in masterly paper the evils of
our condition, the causes of tho incubus
upon trade, and of the drawbacks to
progress and advancement. It was q
centro shot. It hit the bulls eye. Now,
if they will follow mp these brave and
sensible words by another stroke equally
good, they will deserve the thanks Of
the people of the State and do much for
their fleliveranca Lot fhen, t,Lo +bo

taken before the lungs are destroyed, O
speedy cure is effected. TO these three
medicines. DR.. j. H. Schenck, of Phila-
delphia. owes his unrivRled success in
the treatment Of pulmonary diseases.
The Pulmonic Syrup ripcns the NOR
bid matter in tho lungs; nature throws
it off by an easy expectoration; for when
tho phlegm or matter is ripe, slight
cough will throw it of, the patient has
rest, and the lungs begin to heal.
To enable the Pulmo onic Syrup to do
this, Sohenck's Mandrake Pills and
Schenck's Sen Weed Tonic must be
freely used, to cleanse the stomach and
liver. Schenck's Mandrake Pills act on
the liver, removing all distractions, re-.
lax the gall bladder, the bile starts
freely. and the liver is soon relieved.
Schenck's Sea Weed Tonic is gentle
which it is composed mixes with the
food and prevents aouriug. It assists

to prevent fresh cold.
All who wish to consult DR.. Schenck,
either personally or by letter, can do so
at his principal cAice, corner OF Sixth
