leled as Pain Reliever, whether external
or internal. Nearly all the Surgeons have
ADOPTED It on account OF its great healing
properties.
The most eflectual way Of using the article
IS in the form of perforated plaster. The
extenslve use OF ordlra ary Perforated or Por-

The Journal of Commerce thinks that it
is far more important that unworthy
men should be expelled from the diplo,
matte service of the United States than
that money should be saved by cutting,
down their salaries. And with special
reference to Minister Schenck il says
that at the very mildest, and WIN all
kindly consideration, it must be said that
he committed a great blunder in the mat
ter of the Emma mine In its effects it
has been as bad on the investors on the
standing of the minister as if the more
serious charges against him had been
substantiated. All his explanations can
not restore to the lossers the money
thrown away on the public faith in his
name as director of the Emma mine, OF
the standing which he had before he
took part in that scandalour enterprise.
A resignation is now the only becoming
thing left to Mr.. Schenck.

The Nisgovornmnt OF Cuba.

WASHINGTON, February 10.-Recent
private letters from Havana state that
the receipts of the treasury are not
equal to the demands upon in, and in
consequence the troops had not received
their pay. The contractors for military
supplies had received nothing, and had
represented to Conde de Valmaseda that
they should cease to furnish provisions
unless they were soon paid. 1t is also
were in a state of penury and almost of
abandonment, and that the condition of
the treasury was such, by reason OF
want of method and order and of dis
honesty Of public service, that extreme
encouragement prevailed ut Havana.

What u Philadelphia Audience Win

Evening Bulletin on Phillips lecture.

Evening Bulletin on Phillips lecture.
There was one comfort in this mon
strous performance of Mr.. Phillips last
night. II settled forever the boundless-
ness of Philadelphia audiences capabi-
lity for enduring outrage upon its sense
of propriety and truth. Disgust and de-
rision evidently pervaded the large as
semblage; and yet it sat quietly and pa
tiently to the end, and only pronounced
its reprobation by its ominous silence.
Free speech was glorified in its last ex-
treme of desperate icentiousnes; and
hereafter no man ought to doubt that
he may get quiet hearing before a
Philadelphia audience no matter what
heresy, blasphemy, ineendiarism com
munism or any other ism he may choose
to ventilate.

Only waiting till the shadows
Are little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer
OF the days last beam Is flown,
Til the night Of earth Is faded
From the heart once full of day:
Till the stars OF heaven are breaking
Through the twilight soft and gray.
Only waiting till the reapers
Have the last sheaf gathered home;
For the summer time is faded
And the autumn winds have come.
Quickly, reapers! gather quickly
The last ripe hour OF my heart.
For the bloom OF life Is withered,
And hasten to depart.
Only waiting till the angels
Open wide the mystic gate,
By whose eide long have fingered,
Weary, poor and desolate,
Even now hear their footsteps,
And their voices far away;
II they call me, 1 am waiting,
Only waiting to obey
only waiting till the shadows
Are little longer grown;
Only waiting till the glimmer
or the days last beam Is flown,
Then from out the gahering darkness
Holy, deathless stars shall rise.
By whose light my soul shall gladly
Tread its pathway to the skies.

The weight Of opinion Is that the PFeS-
ideut Of the Senate, the officer who pro.
sidCs when the electoral vote is counted
in the presence OF the two houses OF Con-
gre.s, has no power whatever to pass up
on the admissibility OF any vote that is
called in question. The powerlresides
Ia the Two houses. We notice that this is
the opinion Of Gen. Butler. 1t is also
the opinion of the Chicago Times, DEM
ccratic paper, which sums up the points
involved a. follows:
"To secapitulate, 1t appears from his.
tory and from tho records and acts OF
Congress,
/. That the President Of the Senate
has never assumed to decide any question
touching the validity Of the vote sent up
from any State.
Q. That whenever such questions have
arisen they have invariably been taken
under consideration as questions which
Congress alone is constitutionally COM
petent 10 determine.
8. That in 1864 Congress formally az
ercised this power to judge and determine
the admissibility or inadmissibility oil
electoral votes by joint resolution ex'
Guiding all votes from certain Common
wealths therein described.
4. That in 1865 different mode oil
exercising this power, allowing its ex'
ercise by either house Of Congress with
out the concurrence Of the other, was
prescribed by the 2@d joint rule, which
no longer exists.
8. That in 1878 Congress again exer,
cised tue power to judge and determine
the admissibility or inadmissihjlity oil
electoral votes, 10 that case pursuing the
mode prescribed by the 22d joint rule,
8. That tho discontinuanee OF thai
mode Of exercising the power was not
surrender Of the power, which remains In
Congress TO be exercised, as before thai
rule was adopted, by the joint or con
current action Of the two houses; or In
such other manner as Congress may pre-
scribe by u new rule for It's own proee'
dure.
That the power will DO exercised, and
that It's exercise Is tho only way IN
which the pending presidential contro'
versy can be determined without blood
shed is now manifest.

Very few realize how largely our poll

six counties almost wholly within sight

Tilden would not have carried single

York City gave him 10000 more than
his majority In this State; few towns
along the sound gave him hia majortty
in Connecticut and jersey City and It's
surroundings gave him the vote Of New
Jersey. Does anyone imagine that the
popuiation Of these localities Is pre-
eminent in education? Cut of the south

Tan Writ County Mentor comes Out

TaB Writ County Mentor comes out
for johnson n. Camden, Of Psrkersburg,
for United States Senator from West
Virginia. The Mentor Is Republican
paper, edited by Elder Wells, and it pre-
fer. Camden as a choice Of Democratic
evils. The Elder should remember two
things in this Senatorial business, that
th. Second and Third districts will claim
the succession to the Senators now sit
ting from those districts, and, next, Mr.
Camden is the man on whom Billy Bur-
ds.t drew for the rent Of his farm.
We have no particular objection to
Camden. He is better man than some
Of his eompetitora But Parkersburg has
already had two United States Senators,
two Governors, and United States Judge,
and no doubt this fact will be used as an
argument against Mr.. Camden's aspira'
tons. Some Of the more virtuous OF the
Democracy-for instance Old School
Presbyteriaus like Sam Price, and good
Me.hodists like Sam Woods, will object to
Camden on account Of his being accessory
10 Billy Burdetl's little raid on the treas
uryof the State. Under cover OF this sort
Of an objection, they can get in their
work for Price, and for Faulkner or
Davis, ...o
With quite . number Of Democrats,
however, tho trent Of farm" arrangement
will make no difference. They will take
commercial view Of the situation. They
would not object to see Camden roll up a
"barl Of money this way and camp here
with i. this winter They would be equally
grana.d to see Mr.. Davis roll in a "barl
from the East Between their per diem
and mileage and the contents Of these two
barls they could pass the time pleasantly
