DIR. scHcNcK's PuLmoN1c SYRUP

SEA WEED Tonic AND MANDRAKE PILLs.--Ihese
medicines have undoubtedly performed more cures
Of Consumption than any other remedy known to
the American public. They are compounded OF
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which
can be injurious to the human constitution. Other
remedses advertised cures for Consumption
probably contain opium, which is somewhat dan
garous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by
consumptive patients, must do great injury; for
Its tendency is to confne the morbid matter in the
system, which, of course, must make cure impos-
sible Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup is warranted
not to contain particle of opium; it is composed
of powerful but harmless herbs which act on the
lungs liver. stomach and blood, and thus correct
ell morbid secretons, and expel all the diseased
matter from the body. These are the oily means
by which Consumption can be cured, and as
Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills the only medicines which OPP
crate In this way, it is obvious that they are the
only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consumption
Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is accom-
panied by full directions Dr. Schenck lie profess
sionally at his principal Office, corner Siqth and

WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, June 27.-The clerk ut
the House hes written TO Senator Dorsey
in response to what that gentleman termed,
suspicious circumstances in connection
with the enrolment Of the suudry civil
appropriation bill, whereby the aupropria
ton for the Hot Springs commissioners
was omitted; Adams says the error was
due to the hurry and confusion attending
the working of the last hours Of the
session of congress, and remarks that ST
long as the work is crowded into the last
hours of the session when it should be
done at least "a hours before the adjourn
meut. these errors are to be expected.

Indian Affairs.

SAN Francisco, June &c. Portland dis
patch: The latest news from Chief Moses is
to the effect that be has l,50O warriors, well
armed and desperate. A large part of his
band is composed of renegades from other
tribes. The Indians on the reservation
sympa,hize with Moses. with but few ex-
ceptions, and in case of an outbreak Moses
would be reinforced by 400 or 500 reserva-
ton indians. fthis should be the case it
would take 10000 troops to capture him.
Silver City dispatch: The assault made
by Bernard upon the Indians was sur
prise to the savages. about forty of whom
were killed. The soldiers we're very cool
ia the charge. The Indian force present
was estimated at 700. but probably was
not 80 large. The Indians retreated to
their stronghold in Stein mountains.
Howard, with the forces at his personal
comm and, is making forty-6ve miles day
and will effect junction with Bernard to-
night. 1t is estimated that the whole force
of savage warriors numbers 1900. The
Indians will be pursued and there is every
prospect of protracted campaign.

The Potter Investigation.

WASHINGTON, June 26.-The Potter
committee to-day questioned Elk Marshal
Pitkln upon the method of employing
deputy marshal; Pitkin said he always
believed IN the legality of the Packard
legislature, and was of the opinion the
Packard government could have sustained
itself within three weeks after recognition
by the administration without the aid of
the federal troops.
Witness narrated a statement made to
him by George Swasey of conference of
the mem bers Of the Packard legislature
and the members of the McVeagh com
mission immediately preceding the with,
drawal of the troops and the recognition of
the Nichols government. The examina-
ton continued at length upon the acts OF
McV eagh commission, and Butler requested
that Packard be subpenaed to appear be-
fore leaving the country. Hiscock and
Cox said the minority Of the committee
were disposed to accept the testimony OF
Pitkin in regard to affairs in Louisiana,
and suggested additional witness would
accumulate evidence and delay the pro
gress of the Investigation. Daring the
discussion Butler remarked he wanted the
great fraud probed to, the bottom, and

the question as to whether road that has
been established as mail route can be
closed by the local authorities of country,
and has decided that the question of
highways is to be determined by the

OF post route simply means the designation
of such highways are already in existence
aud the duty does not therefore devolve
upon the government of either opening
roads or keeping roads open.
