"a Shame ful Proceeding" i"

From the West Chester Republican.
The Diamond State, otherwise Della
ware, claims to be in a state Of civil
zation; but after the disgusting anC
infamous proceeding at New Castle OF
last Saturday, it cannot possibly hav,
any just claims to decency and human
ity. When it calmly looks at the bruta
lashing Of a child only ten years of age,
with two companions only few years
older, for committing petty larceny,
OF a few cakes and confectionery, that
civilization is at a pretty low ebb. II
is indeed u most infamous action to
publicly whip these children who should
have been placed, as they would have
been in Pennsylvania, in a retOrInatOry
institution, where their ways could have
been mended and honest citizens proba-
bly, been made Of them. But now they
are branded as felons, publicly chas-
tiSed with the at-'O-nine tails and
hence shame put upon them which
will hang to them through life.
This may be civilization, but it is not
our id n OF it. Humanity would seem
to dictate another course whereby those
instead of being branded as
might have their evil ways
corrected and themselves made useful
citizens. Now the probabilities are
that the disgrace will never leave them,
and instead of being benefited they
have been hardened in crime, and no
results arrived at,

Lieutenant CherrY,S cath.

A special dispatch to Chicago paper
gives the following account of the muir
der of Lieutenant Cherry
Three men have been arrested at
Pierre who turned out to be the party
pursued by Lieutenant Cherry at the
time he was reported to have been
wounded. They give their names as
John Halsted, Thomas jackson, and
John Roberts, alias Dick Burr. Roberts
is badly wounded, two foretingers of his
right hand and the greater part of the
palm being shot away.
After the men had been arrested a
courier arrived from Fort Niobrara
bringing the intelligence that they Were
robbers, who, in an attempt to rob sa-
loon near Niobrara, had killed half
breed, named Biodeau, and wounded
another man, while one of their own
number had also been killed. They then
appropriated some Government horses
and fled Lieutenant Cherry with "A de-
tachment of men pursued them, and in
the running fight that ensued, Cherry
was killed and one man was wounded.
This clears up the mystery Of the kill
ing of Lieutenant Cherry, who was re-
ported, by % sergeant who ran away
from the fight, to have been shot by
one Of his own men.

THE PILOTAGE BILL.
The Pennsylvania Legislature De.
lib0rating on the Question.

HARRISBURG, May 23.-The members
of the House of Representatives eyi
IDENTIFY realize the importance of the in,
terests involved in the Pilotage bill now
before the House. 1t is true that as the
bill came from the Senate it met with
some opposition, owing to misunder-
standing as to its effect on American
shipping, but with more light thrown
on the subject there is now n general
desire on the part of the Philadelphia
delegation to do all i'll their power to
promote the commercial and maritime
interest of tie city by discreet legisla-
tion in connection with the question of
pilotage.
Acommittee of merchants and ship
pers of Philadelphia appeared this even
ing before the Committee on Municipal
Affairs of the House to urge the passage
ofthe bill. The Philadelphians consist
ed of Hon. Seth |. Comfy, Hon. Allison
White, Major A. T.. Hancock, John Y.
Baily, President of the Commercial En-
change William Brockie, President of
the Maritime Exchange, and Messrs.
William f. Hager, ID. S. Stetson and
others. The newspaper press was re-
resented by William NJ, Singerly, of
TIE RECORD, and w. W. Harding of
the Inquirer.
The Committee of Municipal Officers
had previously negatived the bill, and
the efforts of the Philadelphians were
devoted to inducing them to change
their action Arguments were made to
show that the neglect OF the pilots to
cruise n proper distance beyond the
capes was injuring the commerce of the
port, and that the rates ofpi.otage were
exorbitant. Addresses were delivered
by Messrs. Comfy, White, Harding,
Brockie and others. The committee at
a late hour adjourned until Tuesday
morning.

LiyermOre's StyIOgraphic Pen.

This pen is being introduced in our
city, by the well-known James ~ Webb
printing and stationery company, at
224 Market street. This pen is pronounc-
ed the very "bcst fountain" pen in { he
market, and ii meets a want long felt
by lawyers, ministers, physicians, and
travellers. The main difficulty in other
fountain pens is their failure to ''controI
the ink" This trouble is overcome in
the HvermO:e Pen as we can fully at.
test after giving the pena thorough trial
II is so perfect in mechanism that any
school boy or girl can use it with east
and pleasure. II is very simple in con
structon, so thai it is constantly under
control of the writer and saves that end.
less dip dip ! that is required when
writing with steel or gold pen. The
firm offering it for sale in this city are
the agents for Delaware and say with
frankncss that they would not have
pushed it as they have done if they did
not themselves consider it a superior
pen, and one that can't fail to give sat
iSfaction in every instance. 1t is already
endorsed by business men, as well as
numerous professional ones. Entire
satisfaction is warranted with each pen
sold, or money will be refunded. Call

EX-SENATOR BRUCE.
How His Appointment as Reg lister
A Of the Treasury 10 Received i'm
the SNufh.

The Vicksburg Herald (Dem. says
'The larger portion of Mississippians,
regardless of party, will be gratitied
that Mr.. Bruce has been appointed Reg
lister of the Treasury. The office is an
important one, but those who know
him best are satisfied it will be in safe
hands IL those of Mr.. Bruce. He is
careful in the discharge ofpublic trusts
and we anticipate good record from
him as Register of the Treasury There
are other reasons why our people will
be pleased at this appointment. In the
Senate Mr. Bruce acted with his party
on party questions, but he never per-
mitted himself to neglect any public in
tcreSt of his State that he could serve.
He treated all Republicans and Demo
Gratis with courtesy and kindness. He
was rs anxious to prevent race dissen-
SiOnS As any Conservative Democrat,
and was opposed to adventurers who
came from other States merely to seek
offices in Mississippi, to the last day OF
his term.
He never sought TO embitter the feel
ings of the ignorant of his race against
the whites, and was ever ready to ad-
wise and cooperate with all who ear
nestly desire the prosperity of both
races. 1t is singular that lie made so
few mistakes and so few enemies in the
powerful place he occupied. He retain
pd the respect of his distinguished Dem
ocratic colleague to the last and this
explains his instant confirmation. His
career should be an example to the in
and honorable of his race.
While they seek their own advancement
lud the education and improvement of
heir race they should learn to respect
he rights of others. They should feel
he absolute necessity Of not antagoniz-
ng any man who is in favor of doing
Justly by them. In the use of their in
luencc they should zealously guard
lgainst the election Of incompetent or
dishonest men to any office, and not eX-
,ect men unfit to hold Office to be chosen
merely on account of color.

The various kinds of waste or decay that az
feet the human body, though attended each
with some symptom not common with the rest,
agree very much in this, and the basis in all
is nearly the same. 1t is generally conceded
that the majority of diseases are accom-
panied by faulty digestion; and such being
the case, we must, in order to cure such dis
eases, cause the organs of digestion to per-
form their proper functions. No remedy has
before been discovered which has so beneficial
an influence on these organs as Fellows Com

The Right Clothes for

Under the broad

there's no better
work done than ap.
pears in little boys

haps, interest you,
it would certainly
profit you, if you
have a boy, to look
through the grades
of work, beginning
at a $3.50 suit and
going up to Sl4.
There are but few
so low or so high.
Almost everybody
buys between ex-
treme prices.
At S. the clothes
begin to be good;
and they grow bet
ter as the price
grows bigger. No
body need grumble
at what S. will buy;
and between S5 and
$40, everything is
good enough. You
choose one rather
than another, be-
cause you like the
or style bet
ter; and the diver
sity is so great that
you may keep on
choosing as long as
you like. When
you come to the
higher prices you
find the finest OF
suitable cloths made
with all the care
that is bestowed on
the finest tailoring.

Its first apparent eHect is to increase the
appetite. 1t assists digestion, and causes the
food to assimilate properly-thus the system
is nourished. 1t also, by its tonic action on
the digestive organs, induces more copious
and regular excavations. The rapidity with
which patients take on flesh while under the
influence of the Syrup, of itself indicates that
no other preparation can be better adapted to
help and nourish the constitution, and hence
be more efticacious in all depression Of spirits,
shaking or trembling of the hands or body,
cough, shortness of breath, or consumptiye
habit. The nerves and muscles become
