The republican State convention OF New
York to elect delegates to the republican
national convention to be held at Cincn-
natl, will meet at Syracuse to-day. The
convention will be undoubtedly unit in
favor of casting the vote of the State for
Mr.. Conklng as candidate for President,
but it will be divided on the question OF
casting the vote of the State as unit for
any other man in case Mr.. Conkling can
not be nominated at Cincinnati. Mr..
Conkling's friends claim, however, that
they will have strength enough in the con-
vention to ,day to pass bya two-thirds vote
a resolve pledging the delegation to vote
as a unit TO the end in the national con-
vention.

Unlimited Remedial Resources.

People sometimes suppose that DR.. Pierce's
Family Medicines represent the entire extent OF
resources for curing disease. This is an error.
Experience proved that while the Golden Medical
Discovery, Favorite Prescriptions Pleasant Pur-
gative Pellets, Compound Extract OF Smart w eed
and DR.. Sagcs CatarIh Remedy, would ittaithful-
" used cure a large variety of chronic complaint,
there would be here and there a case which, IRON
its severity or from its complication with other
disorders would resist their action These eXcep-
tional cases required a thorough examination INTO
their SYMPTOMS, to ascertain the exact nature and
extent of the disease or diseases under which the
patient was laboring, and the specific remedies to
meet and overcome the same. This led to the
establishment of the Worlds Dispensary at Bnila-
10, n Y, with its Faculty of Physicians and sur
geons, each of whom is skilled in the treatment of
chronic disorders in general and those belonging
to his own special department in particular. 10
one is assigned diseases OF the throat ana lungs ,
to another diseases OF the kidneys ana urogehlai
organs to another, diseases OF the nervous system
and to another, diseases of the eye and ear. Thus
the highest degree of perfection IN medicine anu
surgery is attained The establishment OF tins m
st,tutiop enables the Doctor to meet long-felt
want in the treatment OF the more severe chronic
affections BY careful consideration OF the sy m
toms as given in writing, he successfully treats
thousands of cases at their homes. Others VISIT
the Dispensary in person. The amplest resources
for the treatment of lingering affections are thus
place at the disposal of every patient, and those
on whom the proprietary medicines do not have
the desired effect can procure more thoroush
and efficient course by a personal appncatlon 10

ocratic Committee have revealed to the
country that the wife of quasi Republic
can office holder had been dealing IN post
sutlerships, and have permitted the Wit
ness to escape who could have led to the
impeachment and punishment of the hus-
band of this woman, il he was implicated
in the bribery, as he probably was. but
in DOING this the Democratic Committee
also blundered upon transaction, greatly
to their chagrin and modification, by
which their good man Pendleton was I'M
nlicated in oourine nearly $50, 900 out OF
the Government. Every new development
in regard to this transaction places Mr..
Pcndleton in worse plight than before.
Tins Senator Stevenson. Democrat OF
Kentucky. in the effort to Justify Pendleton
in pocketing more than 30 per cent. OF the
bogus claim he collected, really illustrated
how enormously the Government was
swindled for he testified that he had
heard Mr., Bowler Che principal owner OF
the kentucky Central Rairoad) say before
his death that he would sell his interest in
the claim at 5 cents on the dollar, which
meant that it was really worth nothing.
Yet Mr.. Pendleton, fully as familiar with
all the facts as Mr.. Bowler, proceeded to
collect from the same Belknap 100 cents
on the dollar, and did so, appropriating
nearly two-thrds of the dshonorably- OBJ
tanned money to his own use. As in most
of the oilic al corruption that has been UNI
earthed, the Republicans have simply
traded off one piece of rascality for an
other on the Democratic side. There was
a James Brooks for an Cakes Ames IN
Credit Mobilicr. a Schumacher for Bill
King in Pacific Mail, and now Pendleton
for Belknap in the corruption OF the War
Department. So far, honors (or rather
dishonors) seem to be easy, as between
the two parties. That is to say, in all the
disreputable transactions there have been
found high Democrats as well as high Re-
publicans; but in the present instance the
relative Importance of Pendleton and Bel
KNAPP is about that OF a knight and pawn
in game of chess.

From the Chicago Tribune


EXIT BELhNAP AND PENDLETOV.
The country has received two sickening
revelations which have brought the blush
of shame to millions OF checks. If misery
loves company, the Republicans who feel
miserable over the exposure of Belknap
can turn for sympathy and companionship
to the more miserable democrats who have
on their hands the remains of Gentle
man" Pendleton. The Republicans have
lost Secretary of War and the Democrats
a favorite candidate for the Presidency !;
the one levied blackmal on post-trader,
the other Peter-F unked the Government
out of an immense sum on bogus claim
which the owner in his lifetime did not
consider worth cents on the dollar.
Altogether, the Republicans have no
reason for feeling worse than the Demo
Gratis upon the results of Mr.. Clymer's in
vestigation. They have been rid of a dis
honest character who had succeeded by
hypocrisy in attaining high place in the
Government service, and that place has
been filled by gentleman Of sterling in
tsgfity. SO far, both the country and the
Republican party are the gamers. But
how is it with the Democratic party? Their
investigation has brought down Secre-
tary of War on the Republican side, but it
has also laid low one of the most conspic-
nous members of the Democratic party,
one who has received Democratic votes
for the Presidency, who for several
terms represented Cincinnati in Congress,
and who has been for many years prom
inent candidate for President. The DEM

Washington, March l9.-The Attorney Gen,
eral recently communicated to Senator Clayton a
letter from Mrs. l.. j. WATSON, addressed to Pres
ident Grant, and dated "Southern Publishing
Company" book publishers, Atlanta, Ga, Feb
"a, 1876, in which she says, among other things
81 beg your attention to late bill passed by the
Legislature of Georgia. to let out convicts to pm
yate individuals, such as railroad companies, who
place oyerseeis over them, who use them most bru-
tally under the lash and starvation. Those men
raw nothing to the State for their services. They
pretend to clothe them and board them. This
thew do not do; and when one of them asks for
food, he is stripped Of his clothes and dashed till
the blood trckles to his feet. Now, beg OF you
to send and have this thoroughly investigated,
and in the name of humanity and Christianity,
for Gods sake put stop to this inhuman cruelty
and murder 1t has not been long since one poor
fellow was whipped until he fell exhausted. They
then drenched his body with water, then had two
other convicts rub his back with salt and turpen-
tine and next morning repeated the same treat
ment until he fell and died with the most agoniz-
ing groans." The Attorney General, in commu-
ncating this letter to Senator Clayton, says 1t al
fccts United States prisoners. 1t was referred to
the committee on the Judiciary, who Will investi-
gate the subject.
