CASE OF CONSUMPTION.
EAST sToNEHAM. Oxford County Me-, May Il, 1873
Messrs. SETH W. FowLE 4 SONS:
Gentlemen-I feel 1t my duty to write few
words in favor of DIR. wIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD
CHERRY. In the early part Of last winter took
severe cold and shortly af(erward a distressing
cough was added to it. My friends did everything
they could for me, but without avail. The best
physicians that could be procured did not relieve
me, and my cough continued with me all through
the winter with increasing severity. I spit blood
three or four times a day, and my friends consid.
erIng my case hopeless, gave me up as confirmed
Consumptire. wss in this condition when heard
of DIR. WIsTAR's BALsAM OF WILD CHERRY. i
began its use, and before had taken half bot
tie OF it my cough and all my other troubles left me-
and was cured. l feel so truly indebted to this
great remedy for what it has done Tor me tt
send you this voluntary testimony hoping 1t may be
the means of inducing others who are suffering a
was, to make use oft. It is the best remedy for
lunn complaints that ever heard OF, and am
constantly recommending it to my friends.
Yours with respect,

Due dc Brogiie's View.

Marshal MacMahon will probably not
issue any more manifestoes Immediately |;
but the views of the Due de Brogie. as
given in our dispatches to-day, indicate that
his overwhelming defeat has not altogether
opened the eyes of the Premier as to the tenn
per of the country. He seems to fancy that
q judicious use of rhodomontade may bully
the Chamber into acting as if the judgment
of the country had been in favor Of the Min
istry instead of against it, and the absurd
notion he possesses of the concessions"
that should be acceptable to the triumphant
party would be laughable if it were
not melancholy sight to observe
the tranquility of great country depend
ing, though only for a time, on the will OF
man either without political common
sense or SO wickedly disposed to deny the
first principles Of parliamentary govern
ment. If Marshal MacMahon had proposed
after Sedan that the Germans should sur
render to him for the sake of peace his
proposition would scarcely have been more
ridiculous than that Of the Due de Broglie,
who comedies" that the Left Centre may
now .come over" and support the gov
ernment if it will agree not to demand the
removal Of the projects appointed since the
10th of May. In the insane impudence OF
this fancy and in the ignorance of practical
politics with which it is supported
there is to be found this instruc-
tion-the government intends to en-
deavor to divide the republicans and
to hold it's position through such division;
to corrupt and seduce in one direction and
domineer and threaten in the other. 1t
will offer the Left Centre two minor places
in the Ministry on condition that it will
make no demands as to the composition of
the administrative machinery and will for
this small price support the reaction by its
votes. With this poor temptation held out
as lure to one group Of republicans it
simply proposes to intimidate the others
by threatening another dissolution if they
stir hand or foot II they propose
impeachment, or if they annul elections
for bribery or undue official influence or
other Irregularities, it will decree another
dissolution and put the whole country un-
der martial law. The government is so used
to finding the Senate submissive and SUBJ
servient that it never takes into considera-
ton that that body may have will of its
own. Dissolution without the Senate is
not possible, and the Senate will not ignore
the response of the country even if the
Ministry does. All this about dissolution
is therefore mere vaporing. It is a pity for
France that places SO high are open to men
SO paltry.

Discreet Retfrem en- Is.

Mr.. Woodin has retired from the Senate
rial canvass in the Twenty fifth district. He
has acted wisely in declining a contest which
was as unjust to his constituents as it would
have been damaging to himself. In the last
Senatorial election, when rumor alone asso-
ciated his name with the old Tammany
transactions he ran down handsome re-
publican majority to a mere plurality OF
three hundred and eighty, secured through
detection or corruption in democratic dis
tricts. This was sufficient evidence that the
moral sense of his party was opposed to his
candidacy, and the Tweed developments
must certainly have intensified this feel
ing. Even if Mr.. Woodin is in his own
heart conscious OF his freedom from any i'm
proper association with the old corruptions
it would scarcely have been just to leave his
party in the dilemma in which they were
placed by his candidacy in the absence Of
explicit proof of his innocence. On the
democratic side we have scarcely less dis
tinguished withdrawal in the case Of Alder
man Purroy. Mr.. Woodin withdraws out
of respect tor his constituents Mr.. Purroy
out of respect for himself An unfortunate
and hasty act placed the latter in false
position, and his positive refusal to be can
didate for office in the present election is a
manly acknowledgment of the error.

A Hundred Years Ago.

The Schuylerville celebration in CON-
memoration of the final surrender of Gen
eral Burgoyne, an account of which is
published elsewhere, was perfect success.
The weather yesterday was unusually pro-
pitious, and the day was one which will
long be remembered in Saratoga county as
festival in more ways than one. The
addresses Of Seymour and Curtis and the
poetry of Street afforded splendid literary
repast. The military display was feast
for the eyes. The Masonic ceremonies and
the brilliant crowds gave zest to the
appetite for enjoyment. Young and old
were in state of high-pressure excite
ment and delight from the roar Of the
first gun which ushered in the proceedings
Of the day until the last sound Of the de-
parting bands expired on the air. The
scene was that of general jubilee.

Congress Yesterd ay.

Louisiana's representation in Congress
was the principal subject before Congress
yesterday. In the House of Representa-
tives Messrs Elam and Robertson. demo-
Gratis. were admitted by strict party
votes Mr.. Pacheco was admitted from
California, and the discussion Of the
Colorado case was begun but not
ended. In the Senate Mr. Thurman,
apparently to the surprise of Mr.. Edmunds
and Others, presented the credentials of Mr..
Spofford, which led to a short debate on the
rules, when, finally, the subject was post
poned until to-day. resolution offered
by Mr.. Edmunds for the appointment of o
committee to inquire into the state of the
law regulating Presidential elections was
laid over at the request of Mr. Bayard, who
wishes to be heard on the subject. In the
House there will be no legislative business

What Are General Terry's Instruc-
tiOnss

According to the dispatches from Gen.
eral Terry's camp, received from the
HERAIDs special correspondent and pub
lished yesterday, the expedition was, on
October 13, one hundred and three miles
from Fort Walsh, Canada, where Sitting
Bull it was expected would be willing to
await it's coming. 1t is, therefore, probable
that by this time General Terry has met the
Sioux Chief and submitted to him what
ever propositions the Commission is author
lied to make. The Commissions instruc-
tions have been kept secret; but if they are
based on what common sense points out as
the only efficient policy in regard to the
treatment Of the Indians the expedition
may not be fruitless Of good results.
There would be no great difficulty about
the Indian question If there were not hid
den behind it masses of selfish intrigue, COR
ruption and plunder. So long as the Indian
bureau exists the government will be
robbed and the Indians wronged and driven
to revengeful acts. There should be no
longer an excuse for supplying the Indians
with arms and ammunition, nominally for
hunting but in reality for war and massacre.
The interesting letters recently written by
General Sherman show how the buffaloes
are disappearing, and that the Indians can
no longer subsist by hunting. They will not
starve if they can get food, even if they have
to fight and kill for it. The clear way out
of the difficulty is to place them on reserva-
tions, surround them with military posts,
supply them literally with cattle and let
them 60 into the stock raising business,
which is nearest akin to their pursuits and
fancies. They cannot at once be made agri-
culturists; but taste for agriculture and
its study should be encouraged among them
by the award OF premiums for farming skill
and products. II the offers to be made to
Sitting Bull have this direction they may
result in practical good. Such policy as
we hint at would paralyze the arm OF plum
der, but it would promote the cause Of peace
and humanity.
The New York herald., 1877-10-18

the strifes and contentious that have fatally
wounded the republican party in this State
we still more regret that the leader in the
revolt should be Roscoe Conkling. Those
have not advised Mr.. Conkling we'll who
have advised him to descend from the lofty
position he held last spring, when he gave
peace to the nation and performed one Of
the greatest public services ever achieved
by Senator or citizen-descend into the
arena with Curtis and become the wrangler
in State Convention over the wrongs
of tidewaiters and assessors of revenue. The
country sees that while Mr.. Conkling re-
fuses to be comforted because Mr.. Cornell
cannot eat his cake and keep it the man
whom Mr.. Conkling made President is
pacifying the country, healing up old sores
soothing long burning passions, assuaging
hatred, moving on toward resumption,
peace, financial safety. This is of far more
consequence to the country than whether
Mr. Evarts rules the republican party from
the State Department or Mr.. Conkling from
the Senate Chamber. The sympathy of the
people will go rather with the President,
who has done noble and difficult work,
than with those, however illustrious and
esteemed, who use their rare powers to un-
dermine and sap the administration, know
ing that if it falls the republican party must
be buried in its ruins.

Opinions OF stanley's Achievements.

Evidences continue to accumulate indi-
eating that in all parts of the civilized world
men Of science, who have given special at
tention to the solution of the great geo.
graphical problems, regard Stanleys voyage
down the Congo as one of the greatest ex-
ploits chronicled in all the annals of geo.
graphical discovery. From the Austrian
Finance Minister Hoffman, who is president
of the African Association and vice presi-
dent Of the Austrian Geographical Society,
comes the declaration that Stanley has fur
nished ''the most important and most in
teresting knowledge of all modern geo.
graphical discoveries. This unqualified
praise comes from men competent to judge
in facts Of this nature Hoffman's opinion
is communicated by Jules Devaux, secre-
tary to the King Of Belgium, who himself
enthusiastically applauds Stanley's success.
