JONES' SILVER BILL.

A Washington dispatch says Sena.
tor Jones expresses confidence that
his silver reconciliation bill will be
passed by the Senate by three to one
and by considerable majority in the
House. He will not oppose the repeal
of the resumption act in case his bill
or some similar one goes through, but
he will use his influence for its re-
peal in case of his failure. In con-
versation, he said: ~ think it proba-
BILE that majority of the Senators
are in favor of reconciliation, but
they have various plans of their own,
perhaps; some in favor of limiting
the coinage, and some may he in ia.

Break at the State Prison.

Shortly after 3 p. NJ. Monday while
Captain Matthewson was in the upper
story of the shoe shop some of the
prisoners seized him and Captain
Gunnoud of the guard and bore them
down the stairway, intending to thus
shield themselves from the fire of the
guard while escaping through the
gate. When they got into the yard
Captain Matthewson called repeated
~ to fire and never mind him. Guard
Mitchell fired, striking Ollie johnson,
who died two hours later. Guard
Neisweinder also fired, shooting
Captain Matthewson through the lett
arm and severely wounding one of
the prisoners in the shoulder. The
prisoners then surrendered. Cap.
cain Matthewson proved himself a
hero.

THE CIVIL SERVICE ORDER.

Attorney General Devins, writing
from Washington, excusing himself
from active participation in the State
campaign, says: II learn with sur
PRISE and regret that many of the Re-
publican officials hesitate either to
speak or vote, alleging as reason
the Presidents civil service order.
In distinct terms that order states
that the right of officials t" vote and
express their views on public ques-
tons, either orally or through the
press, is MT denied, provided 1t does
not interfere with the discharge Of
their official duties. If such gentle
men choose not to express or enforce
their views III support Of the princi-
pies of the Republican party, either
orally or otherwise, they at least
should give reason for such course,
which is not justified by the order
referred to and which is simply
perversion of it,"
At recent interview between
prominent Pennsylvania Republican
politicians and the President, he re-
ferred to the explanations made by
Secretary Sherman in his Mansfield
speech of the civil service order, and
also to the course of the Secretary in
speaking in the Ohio campaign and
going home to vote. The President
said these acts afforded sufficient
guide by Which every Republican
could consistently construe the order
and shape his course.
The order, it appears, was only IN
tended to prevent federal officers run
ming the party machinery in the in
terest of rings and cliques, whereby
unfit candidates are often foisted on
the party despite the efforts of the
best class of citizens.

Bleeding at the Lungs.

PUTNAM, Conn.,, March 20, 1862
Gentlemen-I avail myself of this opportunity to
Fay word In behalf of DIR. WISTAK'S BALSAM
OF WILD CHERRY, which 1 have made use of in
my family for several years. and always with the
most beneficial results. My wife being of delicate
habits has always been troubled with hard, dry,
hacking cough, whenever taking a little cold, and
has employed various specifics without obtaining
any relief until prevailed upon to test the virtues of
WISTAR'S BALSAM, the effect of which has been
truly astonishing.
More than year since a young man belonging in
this place taken with bleeding at the lungs in
connection with a most severe cough, and was
it evident to all that consumption was claiming
him victim. Learning these facts my wife sent
him bottle of the BALsAM, which he took and in
due time, to the great establishment of his friends
was at his accustomed occupation, snatched as it
were, from the very jaws Of death. In many other
cases we have administered the BAL5AM to the con-
sumptive, and always with the best of success.
These statements simple facts, which can be
vouched for at any time by calling on me at my
store. remain truly yours,
JOHN B. DARLING,
