THuRspAy. MARCH 10.

In the Senate, resolution by Mr.. Lodge, OF
Massachusetts,, WAS agreed to instrncting the
Committee on foreign relations to inquire
whether the islands of st. Croix, ST. Johns and
ST. Thomas. of the West Indian group could
be purchased by the United States; and II not
whether there was probability Of their sale to
other powers.
At o'clock the Senate went into Executive
session and the Arbitration treaty and the
nominations for foreign ambassadors were re-
ported. The report in favor of the treaty was
presented by Senator Davis. as Chairman OF
the Committee on Foreign Relations, and was In
the shape of resolution for ratification.
Senator Morgan spoke in opposition to the
treaty. He insisted that England's interests
were antagonistic to those of the United States,
and said that this country would best conserve
its own interests by avoiding all entsngling
alliances such as the present treaty con-
templsted.
Senator Morgan continued his statement in
imposition to the treaty on the ground that It
was un- American, and more than once made
the point that il was the work OF the titled
aristocracy of Great Britain.
"The right of declaring war;" he said. " is
given to Congress and it is implied that it is
given 20 one Congress as much as another.
Hence, even if we ratify the treaty, it would
not be binding on future sessions"
IL in other words, the two nations found
sufficient provocation for going to war, they
would proceed TO hostilities regardless OF
treaties of peace.
Senator Bacon, of Georeie, reintroduced his
amendment of last session, exempting claims
against the Southern States from the operation
Of the treaty.

Counting the Costs.-N

Counting the COsts.-Not long ago
the papers contained an article about two
farmers out in Iowa who had been litigat-
ing in the courts of that State for nearly
fifteen years, spending thousands OF dollars
in lawyers fees and court costs, and all TINS
about calf, the value Of which possibly
never amounted to more than SO. The
article speaks moral well worthy of heed.
1t shows how little thing may be pro-
ductive of q large amount of expense and
trouble, if not checked at the outset. Of
nothing else is this so true as of diseases
and their cure. Apparently trifling all
ments develop into serious and chrome
diseases if improperly treated or not at
tended to in time 1t means hundreds OF
dollars of expense in the end and mucn
suffering. Read what Mr.. Mat. Forster, OF
Bellevue, O., says about it: For the past
fifteen years my wife has been an invalid,
and during the last four years confined to
her bed. She was hardly able to move,
and we had to attend to her like baby.
Six doctors had her under treatment, and
my doctor bills amounted to over SoOO.
The last three of the learned gentlemen
gave her case up as hopeless. One day l
happened to read an article in Michigan
paper about medicine which decided to
give trial. / sent for small box and
commenced to use it. We soon noticed an
improvement She got gradually stronger,
and to-day she is up and about, doing her
Homework all alone, although she is 62
years Of age. This happy condition OF
things is due to nothing else than the use
of the Blood Vitalizer." When all else has
failed, use DIR. PETERS BLOOD VITALIZER.
But why wait till then? This remedy goes
right to the root of disease, eliminating the
impurities from the blood-nature does the

TUESDAY EVENING. SEPT. %, 1857.
COAL WILL BE HIGHER.


1t will be the part of wisdom on the
part of housekeepers who have not al
ready laid in their winter supply of
coal to do so at once, as October is
pretty certain to see an advance of at
least 25 cents per ton in the price OF
anthracite. Retail dealers have beeY
clsmorous for some time that their
prices should be pushed up at least that
amount to enable them to make fair
profit in handling their commodity.
Indications now point to an advance
by the coal companies on October l of
not only the tide prices, but the line
and city figures as we'll. The first move
in thas direction was made yesterday
By The Reading Coal and Iron Com
pany in conference between the Off
Gals of the company as to the propriety
of such move. The sentiment was
strongly in favor of the increase. The
Reading will take no definite action,
however, without first ascertaining the
views of its competitors as to the ad-
visibility of such q course. AS the
R.ading sets the price in the coal trade
it is pretty safe to predict an increase
in price.
What the advance will be can only
be conjectured as yet. 1t will not be
more than 25 cents a ton, and may be
less. Any increase at ali is likely to
be sufficient provocstion for the retail
dealers to put up the price 25 cents per
ton.-GPhils. Record.
