DIR. SWAYNES
Co Compoundyrup ofWIId Cherry,

and other valuable preparations, entered upon
his professional career with the important sd- |
vantage of a regular Medical Education in
one OF the oldest and best schools in Philadel-
phia and, perhaps, in the world. He subse-l
quently served a faithful term of practice in
the Philadelphia Dispensary, and for many
wears attended also in the Hospital. In these
institutions he enjoyed the most ample oppor-
tunitieS of obtaining an insight into diseases
in all their various forms, as well as ascertain
ing the best methods of their treatment. In
offering, therefore, to the people OF the Unlted
States the fruits of lis extensive professional
experience in the medical compounds as the
best results of his skill and observation, he
feels that he is protfering boon to every fam
ily throughout the land, resting, as he does,

IT Is astonishing how sensitively
concerned the Gazette and other Demo
cratic papers are over the fact that the
recent Legislature refused to allow a
few of their party bull-dozers to get up
q show of sympathy for the soldiers

gard to headstones for soldiers graves.
When party presistently voted "not
q man nor dollar" during the hour of
the Nations trial, we suggest his
chin music now over their dead bod
is in order. But then consistency may
unwittingly be jewel, even with the
party who s'sent greeting to their
friends South" in erecting grave stones
over the dead heroes-for its record
SHOWS it preferred to give them head
stones to bread and sympathy.

FREDERICK DOUGLASS lectured in
Baltimore on Tuesday evening, Of last
week, on the National Capital" In
the course of his remarks he drew the
following portrait of the typical Wash
The Washingtonian has
now leasurely air, In no hurry, and
looking as if he had lots of time on his
hands. His first object is TO impress
you with the idea that he was, or Is, or
hopes to be, great man; that he is a
gentleman. In walking, his gait is
slow; his muscles do not seem to be Ui
much use to him. He csRdo as much
sitting as Turk, and can spend more
time in an easy chair than any other
man on the continent. He always
carries cane-walks, rides, sits, talks,
and sesticulates with cane, which is,
however, more for ornament than for
use. All WashingtOnians wear their
hats over their eyes in somber, un-
happy, and sinister way;a fashion
probably learned from members OF
Congress, who wear their hats in this
way sometimes to avoid recognition,
and Sometimes because of intent think
ing. The Washingtonian has strong
negro pronunciation, learned from the
slaves. Besides these there are office
seekers of all kinds, and more people
trying to get something for nothing
than in any other city in the country.
To be honest in Washington is to be
considered fool. Nobody says 'NO;'
everybody says, acts, and smiles

The Wool Market.
\. Y. Bulletin of Saturday. I

The market in its general features
presents much the same points before
noted. The downward decline of val
ues is less decided in character, and in
deed in some Cases may be considered
AS having received slight check, and
the feeling is fairly steady. The dis
position of holders, however, does not
lead them to look lor any decided re.
action, or to attempt checking the
movement of supplies when an OPT Or
tunity occurs, AS manufacturers evil
IDENTIFY are too closely committed to a
cautious policy to be induced to antici-
pate their wants, except upon the most
Substantial indications, and these Can
not be shown at present either through
the position of wool or its product.
The Accommodations of fine are reduced
and fairly under control, and buyers
desiring extra selections experience
some difficulty in accommodating
themselves, and under these circum-
stances occasional reports of better rates
are made, but the general position is
not influenced thereby, i'm view of the
new clips close at hand. Most coarse
carpet woods continue steady, and in
some cases are quite firm, in view of
limited supply of domestic and a belief
that the foreign grades will be checked
in their movement to this country by
the war. Foreign clothing woods re-
main quiet and nominaliy unchanged,
but not over firm, as the advices from
abroad afford nothing encouraging.

pretty good business doing in California

The venerable William Allen. has
retired from politics and spends his
time in the study of philosophy, but
he occasionally emerges from his Sc
clusion and talks with his old vigor
upon current questions. A reporter OF
the Cincinnati Enquirer had an inter
esting conversation with him the other
day. He was especially bitter on all
internal Improvement schemes, re-
marking that the Democrats of his day
knew su,h a thing as principle, and
devotion to that principle" and they
opposed all raids on the Treasury a.
dangerous to the safety of the Rppub-
lie; now Congressman is in favor OF
p0tting lighthouse on every duck
puddle, or harbor in every creek, or
pOstoffice at every cross roads," A.
for the coming State canvass, Mr..
Allen thought the Democrats should
take no step backward. He would
take no part in the fight. He was beat.
en- when he ran against Hayes by out
side influence from New York, by
money furnished by men who were
fearful of his success. The ex Cover
nor talked fiuently, and the old halo
OF birthstone hung atout his head as he
warmed with his subject.

Two days before the retirement frcm

suppose. Others can better character
ize it. | see no present hope for our
eOlored race here. = Poor race!
| could wish they could make their
flight to some other land, even it were
beyond the reach of the white mans
civilization. Horace Mann is said to
have remarked in his last days that
the trouble with him had been thai
he was in no hurry, but God was"
Perhaps we must draw comfort from
some such reflection

Bank Law,

The cashier of each bank, organized
under the lars of this State or United
States, is required by an ac; passed
April II, 1877, to return to the County
Auditor in the county where such
bank Is situated, a full statement OF the
resources and liabilities of such bank,
together with statement of the names
and shares Of stock owned by each per-
son. The County Auditor fixes value
for each share, then the returns pass
through the hands of a County Board
of Equalization and is submitted to the
State Board of Equalization, when it is
sent back to the County Auditor.

Ii. ". r., in South Carolina letter
to the Cincinnati Commercial, after de-
failing the horrors of the Chisolm mas
sacre, in Mississippi, adds:
What will be done about it? Notn
ing. Do you suppose, in such a com,
munity, that local law will be evoked
for the punishment OF the murderers :
No. 1t will be- passed over. indeed
a local account says that these Repub-
licans were regarded "almoet as public
enemies" The qualification "almost
is not necessary in that locality.
Nobody will be punished. Indeed
if other white Republicans in kempe

hangings will probably follow"

THE result of the great debate in the
English Parliament on the Eastern
question is triumph for the anti-Rus-
sian party by majority of over hun
dred votes. The fact, however, that
Gladstone was able to rally over 220
votes to the support of his resolutions
is evidence that popular sentiment in
England does not altogether approve
the course of the government.

The Democracy and the Pres.
i0euf,

1t is satisfactory TO know that there
il at least a part of the Democracy with
common sense and patriotism enough
to rebuke the will violence of Demo.
cratic politicians. While high debate
is going on ia certain quarters as to the
admissibility of bowling to Mr.. Evarts.
or shaking hands with the Pr sident.
or voting appropriations for an army
which Is to be commanded by an
"usurper," the New York Ereni,,9 En-.
press. gives It's party a little calm and
rational advice. Admitting, it says,
that Mr.. Hayes has obtained the Pres
idency on fraudulent title, what
would you have? Unless you can show
that ii is practicable for him to step
out and for Gov. Tilden quietly and
lawfully to step in-which of. course
You cannot do-the proper and digni
fed course for you is to support him in
everything that is well done in the
public service. s'The country comes
first, and to it, and every part OF
il, il is important that whatever acts
of the President tend to peace, concili.
alton, and prosperity be respected and
sustained. South Carolina and Louisi-
ana are receiving new life and the
whole South new Inspiration by .the
order, and now understood rule, thai
hereafter the sword is Withdrawn from
the government Of States. If this lust
act is to be followed by stop to " mis-
ky rings, and the plundering of mer
cnants and importers by Federal off,
cials which have put brand upon
hons st trade, these acts ought to be
sustained as practical step for the
meliorafion of the country"
Ii ought TO be plain to the meanest
Democratic comprehension that il
President Hayes is broken down, the
principal sufferer will be the Demo
cratic South. He is doing for the re-
constructed States all that Mr.. Tilden
could have done and all that they have
ever asked. In doing it he has brayed
the opposition Of strong faction in his
own Iarty which believes that the
South ought still to be held 10 subjec-
tion and ruled as conquered province
until the old rebel spirit has crushed
out.-CN. Y. Tribune.
