BRANDY AS A MEDICINE.
This now much abused Alcoholic stimulant
was never intended as a beverage, but to be
used rs a medicine of great potency in the cure
sweep away their annual thousands of victims.
With purely philanthropic motive we pre-.
sent to the favorable notice OF invalids-espe-
cially those afflicted with that miserable dis
ease Dyspepsia, u specific remedy, which is
nothing more or less than
Brandy.
The aged, with feeble appetite and mere or
less debility, will find this simple medicine,
when used properly.
A Sovereign Remedy
or all their ills and aches Be it, however
strictly understood that We prescribe and use
but one article. and that is
REIGART'S OLD BRANDY,
Sold by our enterprlsing young friend, II E
AIMAkER. This Brandy has stood the
test for years, and has never failed. far
as our experience extends, and we therefore
give it the preference over all other Brandics,
no matter with how many jaw w-breaking French
titles they are branded. One-tOurth of the
money that is yearly thrown away on various
impOtent dyspepsia specifies would suffice to
buy all the Brandy to cure any such case or
cases. In proof OF the curative powers OF
Reigart's Old Brandy,
In cases of Dyspepsia, we can summon mum
bers of witnesses one case in particular we
cite:-
A hard-working farmer had been afflicted
with an exhaustive Dyspepsia tor q number of
years his stomach would reject almost every
kind of food; he haG! sour eructatiOns con-
stantly-uo appetite-in fact, he was Obliged to
restrict his diet to crackers and stale bread,
and a beverage he used McGanns Root
preached ut times, and in his discourses often
drink. When advised to try
RelRarts Old Brandy,
In his case, he looked up with astOnishment,
but after hearing of its wonderful effects in
the cases of some of his near racquaintances, he
at last consented to follow our advice. He
used the Brandy faithfully and steadily; the
first bottle giving him an appetite, and before
the second was taken lie was a sound man with
q stomach capable of digestinS anything which
he chose to eat He stii! keeps it and uses u lit
tie occasionally; and since he has this medi-
cine he has been of very little pecuniary bene-
tit to the dOctOr.-A PRACTISING PHYSICIAN.

SENATOR FERRY's BLACK Eye
The Washington EpeniRg Star con-
tains letter dated Milwaukee, June
8, signed by Sidney W. Cooper, father
of Miss Nellie Cooper, which refers to
the Cooper-Fery scandal at the Ma
tional Hotel, in Washington, in which
he refers to an Eastern publication
and then says "There is much un-
truth in the foregoing statement. Let
it suffice for the present that Thomas
w. Ferry, Senator from Michigan,
was struck by me in his room at the
National Hotel, Washington, and cut
over his left eye, for an offense which
he alone may describe. accomplish
ed what my daughter failed to accom-
plish. She could not obtain access to
Ferry and had the great pleasure of
doing the work "
The Star adds that "Mr. Cooper is
a New Yorkerabout forty years of age.
Mrs. Cooper is a daughter of Mrs. Mar
tin, lady of wealth, residing in Mil
waukee. Senator Ferry, who is a
bachelor, has been on good terms with
the Coopers, the daughter being a
young miss of about fifteen years of
age. Since the occurrence, which took
place on the 23d Of May, there have
been Thousand rumors regarding it,,
some asserting the Senator was taken
to task for an alleged insult by the
daughter, who went to the Senator'S s
room, where she drew a cowhide, and
that he in attempting to get 1t from
her struck the butt end of it in his eve
Others assert that she only gave the
Senator tongue-lashing. But, as will
be seen above, the black eye was
caused by Mr.. Cooper himself. On
the cause his card throws no light"
Doubtless the public will come at
once to the conclusion that Mr.. Ferry
fully deserved the black eye he re-
ceived and perhaps much more for
causing the scandal to the disgrace of
the national capitol, and the annoy
ance of the respectable people who
make ittheir home. Mr.. Ferry should
not be allowed to hold his seat in the
Senate longer than until his term ex-
pres, since he cannot behave in de-
cent and gentlemanly manner toward
his fellow boarders and their daugh-.
ters..

ENTERED AT WILMINGTON POST
a. sxooNS oEElGs GEass MATTER.
MONDAY. JUNE :. 1850.

The Ne,ps takes deep interest in
the appointment by the Governor of
the Clerk Of the Peace for this county.
But its chief objection seems to be
that Mr.. Cochran's "record savors of
the most ultra Democracy" This is
a new idea for political journal 10
advance. With.democrats this will GER
sinly have little weight, and would
not be expected to be Objectionable to
Governor Hall, whose duty,as he says
he understands it. is to put the most
fit and competent man in the place,
that comes with the best recommenda-
tion from the members of the Demo-
cratic party. We have reason to be-
lieve that Mr.. Cochran came within the
scope of the Governors ideas of duty;
and that he yielded in this case as on
former occasions any personal prefer
ences of his own to satisfy the de-
mands of his party and thus endeavor
10 meet the public wish and make the
appointment give the greatest satisfac-
tion to the greatest number.
The gentlemen who were disappoint-
ed have great amount of sympathy
from large circles of friends and we
are sure none feel more for them than
does Governor Hall himself.

The REPUBLICAN CONVENTION AT
CHICAGO made more progress on
Saturday. They succeeded in getting
so far as the introduction of the names
of the most prominent men for candi-
dates for the Presidency, having pre-
viously adopted q platform. They
then adjourned until this morning.
1t is said the number of clark horses"
has been greatly increased since the
meeting of the Convention, and the
difficulties in making nomination
has greatly magnified. There is no
telling when the Convention will get
through. Some rumors say that at
least one hundred ballots will be
taken another rumor is that an ar
rangement has been effected between
the Sherman and Grant factions by
which Grant is to be nominated and
then decline in letter, and on the
next ballot the third-termers will Join
Sherman's forces and give Lim the
nomination on purpose to defeat
Blaine. We doubt this. 1t is con.
trary to every sentiment heretofore
advanced by Conkling, Cameron and
Logan, who have held out the idea
that Grant never surrenders. We
shall have to wait and see.
AS one of the Delegates on Satur.
day said the fight is for the offices
it will be death struggle to many.
The correspondent ol the Hsrald, in
his letter dated last night says Blaine's
strength is 310; Grants 300 that
votes are being sold and high bids
offered for them. He says:
81 wish | could get at the inside
fact-the birdie in the egg of the

Pierrepont cautiously says Blaine
won't be nominated.
Eugene Hale and Whitelaw Reid
say :-"We shall fight till we win"
Grants leaders can hold their men
but cannot transfer them. The fact is,

are positively ugly. The negro vote is

THE WHIPPING PosT--A PHILA-
DELPHIA GRAND JURY RECOMMEND
It's ADoPTIoN.-One of the best evil
sences of wholesome change IN the
Sentiments of the times is shown in
the report of Grand Jury 10 one of
the Philadelphia Courts, on Saturday.
Like every other departure from the
experience of ages and sound sense,
the sickly sentimentality which led to
the commisseration of thieves, pick
pockets, burglars and even worse
criminals, has had it's day and good
sense and sound judgment begins to
loom up once more. "An ounce OF
prevention is better than pound OF
cure" The most expert thieves and
burglars laugh at your prisons and
make sport over the efforts of jailers.
They will either buy, or break out,
and often, until this is done, through
confederates, live on the luxuries of
the season and glory in their crimes.
i he late WnI. M. Tweed, Conoly and
others would never have committed
the frauds they did had the post and
pillory been before them as a swift
and ready punishment. The Phila-
delphia Grand Jury says:
"rbey could not fail to notice the
evil so ofteu referred to by previous
Grand Juries, viz the crowded con-
d ton OF our prisons, more particu-
larly the County Prison, where prisou-

ers are generally sentenced for short
terms. The evil results of this crowd
ing of two or more criminals into one
cell can hardly be overestimated, and
the proper remedy does not consist in
enlargfng the prison. They firmly be-
lieve this overcrowding to be occa-
stoned in a great measure by idle per-
sons who voluntarily commit some
petty crime for the purpose of getting
comfortable quarters with nothing to
do, while they should be out earning
an honest living for themselves and
those dependent upon them. They
are convinced that while incarceration,
to p sensitive nature may be painful
and humiliating enough to accomplish
all the objects sought to be attained
by punishment of any kind and to
prevent a repetition of the offense,
yet in the case of a very large pro-
portion of the persons who form what
are termed the dangerous classes of
society which include the habitual and
professional thieves /; tine well-dressed
pick-pocket, the adroit swindler and
confidence man, together with those
of more brutal nature. A short
term of imprisonment in comfortable
quarters, with wholesome food, is not
adequate to obtain the end required,
as is proven by the oft repeated COM
mitments of the same criminals. The
punishment should be severe, short,
and decisive. Then our prison ca
pacity would we feel assured he
sufficient to meet the requirements.
We would, therefore, suggest the en-
actment OF law by the State L,egisla-
ture, which would allow mode of
punishment subject to the will of the
Judges to criminals for second and
subsequent offense, similar to that
now III vogue in the State of Della
ware, as the best mode of overcoming
the present evil of overcrowded
prisons. In reference to the petty
cases returned by the Magistrates, the
Grand Jury said it was matter of
regret that they had not the power to
make the Magistrates pay the costs in
quite number of cases.
