He urged that there was business which
the convention could do in advance of the
report of the committee ON credentials,
and cited the proceedings Of the conven-
tion of 1876, to show that much business
was then transacted in advance of the re-
port on contested seats. That committee
then, as now, had much hard work, and
the convention was permanently organ
lied before it reported. The con-
vention of 1876 had also acted
on the report of the committee on
rules and order of business. Hale urged
that this convention is now ready for
business [great applause1 and hoped that
it would not throw away its time, but so
ON with its immediate duties.
Conkling rose to reply and was again
applauded. Meantime the aisles had been
filled again by spectators and the chair
suspended business until they were again
cleared.
Adjourned Uatii 3 p. M.
At 1:1O p. m., Mr.. Frye, Of
Maine, Blaine's henchman, moved that the
convention take recess until p. m. The
motion was carried.
Convention Notes,
1t has been arranged for Col Ingersoll
to present the claims of the Illinois con
testants in convention.
The committee on permanent organiza-
ton reported the name of Geo. F. HOar
for president.
Conkling's Desire for Adjournment.
In his speech in favor of taking recess
until night, Conkling said that the only
work the convention would do before five
o'clock would be to sit on uncushiOned
seats and do nothing; his motion
therefore was one Of convenience it
was an open secret that the committee
on permanent organization would
report the continuance of the present pre-
siding officer in the chair. 1t would not
take five minutes to settle the permanent
organization. There were important
questions to be settled here it is said that
the committee on rules have agreed to rec
ommend the adoption of the five minutes
rule to govern the general, debate,
though the committee have excepted from
this limitation the debate on contested
seats. There was, therefore, nothing to do
prior to the presentation of the report of
the committee on credentials and contest
cd seats.
Hale's Reply.
Hale, on rising to reply. was received
with the widest applause that has thus
far been heard in the convention. He
urged that if COnkling's argument
was sound and its points adopted in
every Legislative body, suspending all
business until all contested questions
of seats should be settled, none would ever
do any business. [Great applause.] Both
houses of Congress are to-day considering
such contests which have been pending
since the beginning of the session.
Another Delay.
$50 p. M.-The committee on creden-
tials are still in session and it is said can
not report for some time.

Answer to Many Correspondents

In reply to numerous inquiries from our
readers. concerning the wonderful qualities
of the Great German Remedy, ST. JACOBS OIL
mentioned in our last issue-we would in
form them that the article may be obtained
from our retail druggists, or by their aid. Ask
for ST. JACOBS OIL, and if the dealer does not
keepit i'm stock he will be able to procure it
in few days from the wholesale houses. We
understand there is already an immediate de-
mand tor the remedy, which is not so very sur
prising when it is considered what it is daily
accomplishing in the way Of relief and cures,
bordering, in some instances, on the miracu-
lOus.

THE DOCTORS.
Meeting of the Medical Society.

Meeting OF the Medical Society.
The Lancaster city and county medical
society met in Grand Army hall yesterday
afternoon, President Thompson, of Wrights-
vile in the chair.
Owing to the fact that numter of the
members of the society are is attendance
at the medical congress in New York, the
meeting was smaller than small, the fol
lowing members only being present:
Drs. Blackwood, Compton, A. J. Herr,
Roland and Welchans, of the city Drs.
Buckius and Craig, Of Columbia Drs. Il.
F. Herr and NJ. L. Davis, of Millersville !;

The delegates who attended the late
state convention held at Altoona made
their report, in which it was stated that
the next meeting of the state society would
be held in this city on the second Wcdnes-
day of May, 1881.
Several interesting cases in practice
were discussed and the reports made by
members showed that there are no cpl
denies prevailing either in city or county.
Several other important matters which
were to have been discussed were post
poned, owing to the absence of members.
A number of new members were elected
and the society adjourned to meet on the
first Wednesday in July.

General Hancock as a Statesman.

. The attempt Of the Democrats to
magnify General Hancock into Il
statesman on the basis of his New
Orleans order is meeting with such
poor success that many of them are
already abandoning it and falling back
on the more prudent policy of making
the most of his military record, and
forgetting that he ever tried to play a
part in politics. Taken by itself the
order sounds well enough. 1t con-
tains some fine phrases about the right
of trial by jury, the habeas corpus and
the liberty of the press. Taken IN.
connection with the circumstances
under which it was issued, however, it
was an open defiance of the Recon
struction acts of Congress, which Cen
eral Hancock was bound to enforce,
and bid for the Democratic Presiden-
tial nomination in 1868. The civil
law, which Hancock glorified in his
order, had not been fully restored In
the South in 1867. The communities
lately conquered by the national ar
mics were in transition period be-
tween war and peace, and were in pro
cess of beng reconstructed into self
governing States by special acts of
Congress. During this period and
pending the working out of this pro-
cess they were placed under military
control. 1t was the duty of General
Hancock, as a military officer put in
command Of portion Of the territory
recently in rebellion, faithfully to
carry out the will of Congress, one of
whose acts enioined upon him to PRO
tect all persons in their rights of per-
sons and property; suppress insurrec-
ton, disorder and violence, and punish
all disturbers of the public peace, and
criminals" To these ends he was di-
rected to use the military forces under
his command.
Instead of faithfully executing the
laws Of Congress he proceeded to as
sure the people of his department. that
he should not interfere with the quas
civil authorities they had set up them.

A Passage of History.

We find in an exchange a vivid de-
scription Of the terrible excitement in
the city of New York when the news
came of the ASSASSINATION of Abraham
Lincoln and the attempt upon the
lives of his Cabinet. Tens of thou
sands Of people were upon the streets
crazed with grief and Indignation
Two men who were foolish enough to
express satisfaction were put to death
in an instant. The South was held
responsible by the unthinking multi
tude for the deed, and the Democrats
of the North came in for their share
of malediction. We quote:
By this time the wave of popular in
dignation had swelled to its crest. Two
men lay bleeding on one of the side
streets-the one dead, the other dying
one on the pavement, the other in the
gutter. They had said moment be-
fore that Lincoln ought to have beer
shot long ago!' They were not al
lowed to say it again! Soon two long
pieces of scantling stood out above tht
