The Eastern Question.


ST. PETERSBURG, June 29-The jour
not de st. Petersburg says; Now that
the Bulgarian questions are disposed of,
the views Of Europe, which have hitherto
regarded the integrity of Turkey in the
light of dogma, have undergone a total
change Europe now recognizes the me-
cessity of the late war by saDctioniDg its
results. This bears testimony to the sue
cess. ability and prudence of Russian
diplomacy, which may be congratulated
upon having obtained the object for which
it has striven.
The English press differ greatly in opin-
ion as to the fesults thus far reached in the
congress-
The Daily Neaos snys: 1t is not for US
to profess any regret because Of any terms
that have been imposed on Turkey by the
congress, but we confess we cannot see
how her Majesty's present advisers can
come with credit out of the whole trans
action. The dullest Turk must now see
that Turkey would have had far better
terms had she submitted to the recon-
mendations made by the Constantinople
conference.
The Saturday Reuieso says; A compar-
ison between the map attached to the
treaty of San Ste fano and the limits of
Bulgaria as defined by the congress largely
bnt inadequately represents the service
which the prime minister and foreign sec
retary have rendered to England and to
Europe. The means by which considera-
Bile success has been obtained are even
more valuable than the material results.
The Standard says: The deliBeation of
Bulgaria, though it leaves US with some
thing, would much better have been con-
ceived in the treaty of San Stefano Ii
cannot be regarded as 10 any sense a
triumph for England, and it will be still
less favorably viewed by the people of this
country, if it is intended to be the sum
and end of our diplomatic exploits. Fol-
all practical purposes the danger against
which We proposed to guard EHrope re
mains almost as great as il was.
The Times says: The congress, like
most reasonable assem- blies. has disap
pointed equally both the extreme view
which had been taken of its prospects
Ii has been sitting for more than fort
night but the questions which threatene,
most directly the peace of Europe hav
been in substance solved. England hav
ing secured the barriers of the Balkans t
Turkey, no compromise in minor point
j destroys the value of such concession,

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 compounded of
vegetable ingredients, and contain nothing which
can be injurious to the human constitution. Other
remedses advertised as cures for Consumption
probably contain opium, which is somewhat dan
gsrous drug in all cases, and if taken freely by
consumptive patients, 1t must do great INJURY for
Its tendency is to conine the morbid matter in the
system, which, of course, must make cure mpOs-
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
all morbid secretions, and expel all the diseased
matter from the body. These are the OILY means
by which Consumption can be cured, and al
schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic and
Mandrake Pills the only medicines which OPP
| crate in this way, it is obvious that they thu
only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consumption
Each bottle of this Invaluable medicine is accom-
panied by full directions. DR.. Schenck is profes-
sionally at his principal Office, corner Siqth ant
Arch Streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, where
all letters for advice must be addressed.

New ORLEANS, July 1.-The Potter

Gov. Packard was recalled to produce a
number of papers to which he referred
Saturday, including the returns of the
election promulgated by joint resolution Of
his legislature, calling for troops, etc.
Witness did not have copy of the gov
arnors letter transmitting the joint resolu-
ton to the president who prom muIgated the

not give the names of three men from the
7tb ward who were put upon the rolls of
the Nichols house; out showed that three
republicans were elected; this change was
essential to make quorum in the Nichols
house. When Kellogg was elected there
were seventeen senators present aud sixty
six members of the house. He first
heard of the defect in the certificate of
electors when General Anderson returned
from Washington. | had a conversation
with Marshal Pltkin in regard to matters
to be considered by the returning board.
To regard to Anderson's protest, Pitkin
told him Anderson wished to reclaim the
protest but be, PitkiD, refused to return it
to Anderson a that time. My attorney
Harris attended to all such matters for
me. Kellogg was candidate Tor senator

when in Washington in February, Mrs

mysteriously about it; the impression she
made on my mind was that she knew
nothing about the letter; she would cot
say who had it and this made me think sht
