The bill provides that thchapital stock of
the company shall be two million of dollars
and may be increased to any sum not exceed—
ing three millions. ,

t repeals the act incorporatlng the Con-
necticut Railroad Company, approved June
30th, 1866.

HOUSE—opened with prayer by the Rev.
Father O’Brien. ~

Petitions referred—Petitions of Ebenezer-
IIill, ct al. in aid of petition for the incorpo-
ration of the Gregory Point Marine Railway;
Charles Olmstead of Norwalk, and 500 oth-
ers, in aid of petition of George G. Bishop,
et al. for a railroad.

The following came from the Senate refer-
red. and the House concurred:

Miles Bradley, ct al. for the incorporation
of the Saugatuck Railroad; Fitch’s Home for
Soldiers, for the extension of State aid; Cur-
tis Finch, for an act to hasten the trials in
courts.

A resolution to recall a resolution permit-
ting the New York and New Haven Railroad
Company-to increase their stock, came from
the Senate rejected, the House having passed
it.

Mr. Minor moved at the House vote to
insist and ask fora c mittce of conference.

Mr. Eaton moved indefinitely postpone.
He did so that the House might, if they
chose, vote against the resolution and to con-
cur. Hc had no interest in the matter, but
he saw no reason why the New York road
should not have their wishes granted.

Discussed at great length.

Mr. Phelps, of New I aven, was at loss to
account for the strong opposition to the re-
hearing of this case. Some of the public
were dissatisfied and wanted the mattcrrc-
opened, but here was a strong opposition.
.Ilc belivcd the movement was an entering
wedge to a grand plot to establish a great in-
telcst in the State that would make the peo-
ple pay them large dividends. No road in
the country asked for such a capital as the
New York road. It had $1,000,000 capital
far every six miles of road. He thought
there was something deeper in the matter
than appeared on the surface.

Mr. Reid, of Suifield, thoilght the matter
was resolved into one point, which was that
if the company wished to be fair about the
matter, why make so strenuous an opposition
to the return of the bill. Some of the mem-
bers from the country had got mixed up
amid the fine periods of the city members, and
he wished to have them come down to the
naked facts, so that they might understand
it.

The motion to indefinitely postpone the
resolution was lost by a large vote.

The motion to insist and ask fora commit-
tee of conference was then passed, and
Messrs. Minor, of Stamford, and Phelps, of
New Haven, were appointed the committee
of conference. _

A bill for an act relating to public shools,
changing the scho )1 year, was referred.

A bill for an act repealing an act passed
in 1867, relating to highways and bridges,
was referred.

FRIDAY, May .22.

SENATE—Prayer by Rev. Mr. Start.

Petition of Charles Olmstead and 500 oth-
ers in aid of the petition of George G. Bish-
op ct al, for a railroad ; of Ebenezer Hill et
al. in aid of the petition of Henry F. Guth~
ric et al. for the incorporation of the Grego-
rv’s Point Marine Railway Co.

. Resolution appointing a, committee of con-
ference on the part. of the Senate to meet the
committee already appointed by the House
to confer concerning a resolution increasing
the capital stock of the N. Y. & N. H. R. R.
Co. Mr. Street moved to appoint. Mr. Aus-
tin seconded. Mr. Gallagher oqucted ; he
did not wish to be captions, but he wanted
to know a reason. Mr. Austin said the an-
nual meeting of the road had now. been

' held; now he was in favor of reohearing.
Mr. Street said the vote Of the railroad Co.
yesterday was apacked one; any opposition
to the resolution at the stockholders’ meet-
ing would have been futile, as everything
had been arranged beforehand ; that any
stockholder who should attempt to be heard
would have been in the same condition of a
stockholder in one of the Hartford banks,
some years since, who, being belated, in-
quired of the-inspector if he was too late,
when the inspector replied that “Mr. Brown
had voted and his vote would make no dif—
ference.” . Mr. ,Austin offered a new resolu-
tion for reading. The pending resolution

\vaslaid on the table. The new resolution
was a. substitute for the original resolution
for the increase of capital stock ; it set forth
that not one cent of the $3,000,000 should be
used for any other purpose than the re-lay-
ing of the road with steel rails, the purchase
of necessary land and rolling stock, the erec-
tion of buildings, etc. and that the new stock
should be apportioned pro rata among'the
stockholders, they to be given sufficient time
to purchase. Resolution laid on the table.

Concerning petition of Lucien Sperr cl
2]. for the incorporation of the New tug-
land and Eric railroad. Committee report-
ed favorably, and act incorporating passed.

FOR PRESIDENT,

Ulysses S. Grant,

Of Illinois.

 

FOR VICE-PRESIDENT,

Schuyler Colfax,

Of Indiana.

CHICAGO, May 21st, 1868.

EAR GAzu’r’rE—Yesterday and 10-day
have proved days ofbencdiction and prophe-
cy, for the cause and the comm-y. Especially
also, have they been days of pride and glori-
fication to every Connecticut man here.
To Gen. Joseph R. Hawlcy, the patriotic sol~
dier and Ex-G 0v. of Conn, as President of
our Convention, is the nation indebted not
only for the speedy completion of business
and adjournment, but for the good order
and good nature which has characterized
one of the sublixnest delnonstrationsof popu-
lar enthusiasm and national gratitude this
continent has ever witnessed. With a dig-
nity of demeanor that. commanded respect
froul all, and a voice of thunder that could
be distinctly heard iii any part Of the vast
amphitheatre, when he demanded “ORDER”
from the flowing, turbulent sea of - impetu-
ous voices, there was such a decisive tone of
“command,” that quiet was at once restored.
It reminded one of the days when, amid
hail of lead and schrapnell, far above the din
of battle his voice was heard “romvann TIIE'
sisvnNTII I” And as he is to-night, after the
adjournment, complimented 011 all sides by
everybody for his masterly handling of the
Convention, Connecticut men feel that they
too, with State pride, shpre in his well-carn-
ed and deservedly acquired national reputa-
tion. His friends, after a severe though
honorable contest in committee, between
himself and Gen. Sickles, were fortunate
enough to secure the position for him of
Permanent President of the Convention:
and it is not too much to say that at this
hour there is no man beyond our candidates,
l0 universally recognized as a national f2 -
vorite. All hail to “J 00 Hawley.” .

It became very earl . apparent that our
Governor Buckingham could more readily
unite all the New England and Middle States
than any name under canvass, but he had
addressed us a letter positively declining
any use of his name. He was repeatedly
telegraphed as the prospects of success grew
more hopeful, urging him to allow the bring-
ing forward- of his name, but he tenaciously
adhered to his first determination. While
no one. will desire to change the result, yet
it is very generally conceded that the Vice
Presidency was at one timc,within the grasp
of Connecticut.

Rough and bluff and brave old Ben.Wadc,
as you will see by the telegraph, led the van.
But the abandonment of him by 4 then 5 and
last 6 of the Ohio delegation, in violation of
instructions and all State pride and decen-
cy, made it clearly apparent that he must
come short Of the goal, while the steadily
advancing line of Colfax, as clearly indica-
ted his ultimate triumph. The deadly
breech made by the reversal of Pennsylva-
nia’s vote, carried the crst barefooted and
fatherless newsboy of New York, who used
to wash his mother’s dishes when she was
ill, swept the Convention with a wild and
mighty wave of outbursting joy and enthu-
siasm. Cheer upon cheer, swinging of hats,
streaming of handkerchiefs, and in every
possible way did the mighty mass swell the
power and volume of the demonstration.
Even the nomination of the great soldier
and leader, and the dramatic effects of un-
veiling his life-sized portrait,seated on a ped-
estal at the eastern portico of the White
House, by the goddess of Liberty, with the
unloosing and flying over the Convention of
a carrier pigeon in national colors—produce
an equal outburst of approving enthusiasm.

The great state of New York presented
the name of her great son, and nobly stood
by him with majestic dignity to the end,
casting her solid and imperial 66 votes for
Reuben E. Fenton, but graciously, at the
last, moved the nomination of Colfax be
unanimous.

The organization of 'the Connecticut Dele-
gation was perfected as follows :—

Chairman—B. Bent, Jr.
Vice President—Gen. IV. S. Pierson.
Secretary—Horace Smith.
‘ Com. to wait on Candidates and announce.
nominations—Charles Parker.
National Committee—H. H. Starkwcather.

So, now, the Republican bark is launched
under mOst assuring auspices, and it now re-
mains for the honest: patriotic millions of
America to consumate the work so glorious-
ly begun, by a crowning, and as’ we believe
it will be, an overwhelming VICTORY IN No-
vmrnnn! ' B.

 

National Union Republican Con-

volition.
‘ . CHICAGO, May 21. ‘

The National Union Republican Conven-
tion has assembled, and adjourned, after
having transacted the business for which it
was convened, to the great satisfaction of
the delegates, the people who witnessed its.
proceedings, and undoubtedly to the accept-
ence of the great masses of the Republican
party throughout the land. The Convention
was a grand one in every respect and one of
which all Americans may well feel proud.
The temper of the Convention throughout
was simply splendid. Perfect good nature
and wonderful unanimity of sentiment pre-'
vailed at all time; there was literally no
personalities or ill nature shown in debate,
no clashings of sectional interests, and noth-
ing whatever to mar the harmony of the
Convention. Of course in the sharp contest
for the Vice Presidency, a dozen candidates
were brought forward and urged by the dif-
ferent delegations with all their ability and
great earnestness, but the candidates nomin-
ated were men of unexccptionablc character
and in the discussion of their merits the dele-
gates, in no instance, sought to build up one
man by decrying another, and when it be—
came evident that Mr. Colfax was the choice
of the majority, each delegation made haste
to record their votes for him, and his nomi-
nation was made unanimous amidst the
most intense and prolonged enthusiasm.
The doors of the Opera House were thrown
open about 11 o’clock, Wednesday A. M. and
all fortunate holders of tickets were admitted
The police arrangements were excellent, and
but little confusion ensued. The body of the
House was occupied by the delegates, seats
for each state having been assigned, cOm-
mcncing nearest the stage with Maine, thus
giving the delegates from Conn. a row ofthc
best seats in the House, reporters, editors,
Committee men, &c., accupied the large
space on the Stage in rear of the chairman;
alternates and spectators the galleries, or
wherever they could find seats or standing
room. A few ladies occupied seats in the
'boxes of the Family Circle.

At 12 1-2 the Convention was called ' to
order by Gov. Ward, of New Jersey, chair-
'man of the National Committee, in a brief
speech, which was received with great en-
thusiasm. He closed by calling upon Bish-
cp Simpson to offer Prayer, which he (lid in
his usually impressive manner.

General Carl Schurz, of Missouri was
unanimously elected temporary chairman,
and amidst long continued applause he was
escorted to the platform, and made a telling
speech. He was very frequently interrupt-
ed by loud applause from the entire assem-
b lagc, and his most earnest and radical enun-
ciations were the ones which were received
with the greatest applause.

The Com. on Credentials, consisting of one,
from each State was appointed, of which
Mr. W. G. Coe, of Winsted, was the member
for Conn.

The Com. on Permanent organization was

 

 

next appointed, on which com. Mr. Bying-
ton represented Conn, with what ability
and credit to the State may be judged by the
"nominations made by that Com.

The Com. on Resolutions was then ap-
pointed, Mr. J. M. Woodward, of the New
Haven Courier, alternate of ' S. W. Kel-
logg, of Waterbury,represcnting 0111:. This
Com. held their meetings in the room of the
Conn. Delegation at the Sherman House.

A Com. on Rules was appointed—Mr. S.
L. Sayles, of Killing, for Conn. The Con-
vention then adjourned till 5 o’clock to give
the committees time for their duties.

AFTERNOON SESSION.

Convention called to order at.5 o’clock.
Thc.com. on Permanent Organization not
being ready to report, a series of resolutions
from the Union League were read, and a gen-
eral talk indulged in for a short time, when
the com. appeared and reported the name of
Gen. JOSEPH R. HAWLEY, of Connecticut,
for permanent President. The announce-
ment was received with wild applause, and
he was unanimously elected, and escorted to
the chair and amid :thc greatest applause,
and cheers, by ex-Govs. Solomon, of Wis-
consin and Brown of Georgia. The Gov.
was formally introduced to the convention
by Gen. Schurz, and on taking the chair
made a very able and forcible speech.

The Gov. was continually interrupted by
the most enthusiastic applause. His allu-
sion to the payment of the National debt,
especially, was received with round after
romd of applause. Gen. W. H. Pierson, of
Windsor, was elected Vice President, from
Conn, and Bartlet Bent, ofMiddletown, Sec-
rotary.

An effort was here made by an impatient
member to nominate Gen. Grant by accla-
nlation, but while the name of Grant was re-
ceived with the wildest enthusiasm, it was
decided to postpone his nomination until af-
ter the adoption of the Resolutions,‘ and
while waiting for the Report of the com., on
credentials the com. (Tom the Soldiers and

Sailors Convention was received, and their.

resolution asking for the nomination of Grant
was read, when more trouble was had to
curb the impatient members anxious for im-
mediate nomination by acclamation. The
balance of the afternoon was'devoted to
speech making, no business being before the
house, and the audience was very enthusias-
tic. Gen. Brown, of Georgia was called for,
and made to take the stage. He was cheered
and applauded constantly and in the wild-
est manncr. I had met him at the dinner

table that day, and heard him express him-g

self confidentially to some of his fellow del-
egates his pleasure at the action of the Con-
vention in admitting thcdclegatcs from the
reconstructed States, and his gratitude for
the good feeling thus manifested towards
thcm,and was somewhat prepared for the
tone of his speech. I have met him several
times since and he ’seems well pleased with
the doings of the convention. He called at
the Com. Room to-night, and was introduc-
ed to quite a number of Conn. people. And,
by the way, another honored visitor graced
the Com. Room to-night—no less a person-
age than the Rev. Petroleum V. Nasby, Post-
master. &c., who was most cordially wel-
comed.

The Second Day.

A large number of tickets had been issued
for Thursday, and long before the opening
of the Convention all the standing room was
occupied by impatient men—pushing and
crowding, all trying to obtain seats or to se-
cure a position where they could get an un-
interrupted View of the stage. Soon after 10
o'clock, partial quiet was obtained and the
Convention was called to order. Rev. J. P.
Gulliver, formerly of Norwich, Conn., offer-
ed prayer. The Committec on Resolutions
not being ready to report considerable time
was occupied in speech making, during
which time the committee marched into the
Hall, and the chairman reported the follow-
ing -
PLATFORM.

The National Republican party of the
United States, assembled in National Con-
vention in the city of Chicago, on the 20th
day of May, 1868, make the following declar-
ation of principles :—

FmST—Wc congratulate the country on
the assured success of the reconstruction pol-
icy of Congress? evinced by the adoption
in the majority o the states lately in rebel-
lion of constitutionssecuring equal civil and
political rights to all, and it is the duty of the
government to sustain those institutions and
to prevent the pcople‘of such states from‘bc-
ing remitted to a state of anarchy.

SECOND—The guarantee by Congress of
equal suffrage to all loyal men at the south,
was demanded by every consideration of
public safety, of gratitude and of justice, and
must be maintained, while the question of
suffrage in all the loyal states properly be-
longs to the people ofthose states.

THIRD—We denounce all forms of repu-
diation as a national crime , (prolonged
cheers) and the national honor requires the
payment Of the public indebtedness in the
utmost good faith to all creditors, at home,
and abroad, not onl according to the letter
but the spirit of the aw under which it was
contracted.

FOURTH—It is due to the labor of the 118.-
tion that taxation should be equalized and
reduced as rapidly as the national faith will
permit.

FIFTH—Tile national debt contracted as it
has been for the preservation of the Union
for all time to come, should be extended
over a fair period for redemption : and it is
the duty of Congress to reduce the rate of in-
tercst thereon whenever it can be honestly
done.

SIXTH—That the best policy to diminish our
burden of debt is to so improve our credit
that capitalists will seek to loan us money at
lower rates of interest than we now pay, and
must continue to pay so long as repudiation,
partial or total, open or covert, is threatened
or suspected.

SEVENTH—The government of the United
States should be administered with the strict-
est economy, and the corruptions which
have been so shamefully nursed and foster-
ed by Andrew Johnson call loudly for re-
form.

EIGHTH—We professedly‘dcplore the un-
timely and tragic deathbf Abraham Lin-
coln, and regret the succession of Andrew
Johnson to the presidenc , who has acted
treacherously to the peop e who elected him
and the cause the was pledged to support;
who has usurped high legislative and judicial
functions, who has refused to execute the
laws, who has used his high office to induce
other officers to ignore and violate the laws,
who has employed his executive powers to
render insecure the property, the peace, lib-
erty and life of citizens, who has abused the
pardoning power, who has denounced the
national legislature as unconstitutionaldwho
has persistently and corruptedly resisted by
every measure in his. power every proper
attempt at the reconstruction of states late-
ly in rebellion, who has perverted the pub-
lic patronage into an engine of wholesale
corruption, and who has been justly im-
peached for high crimes and misdemeanors,
and pronounced guilty by the vote of thirty-
five senators.

NINTH—The doctrine of Great Britain and
other European powers, that because a man
is once a subject he is alwa s so, lnust be re-
sistcd at every hazard by t c Uniicd States
as a relic of the feudal tunes, not authorized
by the law of nations, and at war with our
national honor and independence. Natur‘
alizcd citizens are entitled to be protected in
all their rights of citizenship as though they
were native born, and no citizen of the Um-

tcd- States, native or naturalized, must be»

liable to arrest and imprisonment by any
foreign power for acts done or words spoken
in this country ; if so arrested and imprison-
ed, it is the duty of the government to inter-
fere in his behalf.

TENTH—0f all who were faithful in the

trials of the late war, there were none enti-
tled to more especial honor than the brave
soldiers and seamen who endured the hard-
ships of campaign and cruise,and imperillcd
their lives in the service of their country.
The bountics and pensions provided by the
law for these brave defenders of the nation
are obligations never to be forgotten. The
widows and Orphans of the gallant dead are
the wards of the people, a sacred legacy be-
queathed to the nation’s protecting care.

ELEVENTH—Foreign emigration, which in
the pasthas added so lunch to the wealth,
development and resources and increase of
power to this nation, the as lum of the op-
pressed ot all nations, shop d be fostered and
encouraged by a liberal and just policy.

TWELFTII—This convention declares itself
in sympathy with all the oppressed people
who are struggling for their rlghts.

Each Resolution was received with ap-
plause, and several with cheers and long
confinued applause, and it, was evident that
the Platform as reported gave universal
delight and satisfaction, and it was adopted
without debate, with entire unanimity and
great enthusiasm. Carl Shurz moved two
amendments which were adopted, and the

platform declared complete.

 

GRANT NOMINATED. .

Soon as the platform was adopted Gcn,
French, of North Carolina, moved to‘ pro-
ceed to nominate a candidate for the Presi-
dency, and then commenced again great ap-
plause, which continually broke out throu h-
out the proceedings. Gen. Logan, of li-
nois, very deliberately in a clear ringing
voice, amidst profound silence, addressed the
chair as follows: “In the name of the loyal
citizens, soldiers and sailors of this great re-
public of the United States of America; in
the name of loyalty, of liberty, of humanity
and of justice; in the name of the National
Union Republican party, I nominate, as the
candidate for the Chief Magistracy of this
nation, ULvssEs S. GRANT." [Here there
was a storm of applause. The mass of ‘ the
people rose to their feet, and in all the hall
there was the waving of hats and kerchiefs.
Alady in the gallery of the house, at this
point of time, let loose a tri-colorcd pigeon,
which flew through the room to the stage.
Three lusty cheers were given, upon motion
of a delegate, for General Grant, and the
band played “Hail to the Chief.”]

Soon as quietness could be restoredta mo-
tion was made to nominptc by acclamation,
which was cried down, the rules providing
for a call of States. The Secretary called
the roll, and as the name of each State was
called, the chairman of the delegation rose
in his seat, and generally in a few short,
pithy sentences announced the vote of his
State, and as each vote was given the ap--
plausc was great. ' .

The names were called alphabetically, and
when Alabama was called that State gave
all her votes to Grant, and every state and

‘ territory followed suit,over_2/ cote, 644 in num-

ber being given for the great Captain of the
age. The announcement of the result by the
chair was received with the wildest enthusi-
asm, all the people rose to their feet, and the
applause and cheers were prolonged, amidst
which the curtain of flags at the rear of the
stage was removed revealing a splendid
painting ofGrant, sitting on a pedestal on the
steps of the White House, with the Goddess
of Liberty at his side, pointing to him with
pride and saying to the democratic conven-
tion “Match Him.” The Band played, and
the immense audience sang “Rally Round
the Flag,” and other-patriotic songs.
Tun VICE-PunsmnNov.

A long time ensued before quiet could be
obtained, when nominations were made for
the Vice Presidency in ten minute speeches,
seconded by five minute speeches. Virginia
nominated Henry Wilson, of Mass. ; Colfax
by Indiana; Ben. Wade by Ohio; Fenton
by New York; Jas. Speed by Kentucky;
John A. Creswell by Maryland ; Curtin by
Penn. ; Harlan by Iowa ; Hamlin, of Maine
by Wisconsin; S. C. Pomeroy by Kansas ;
South Carolina in a strong, earnest speech
seconded nomination of Wilson ofMass. and
voted for him strong.

The names of almost ‘all the candidates
were received with loud cheers, but the
cheers for Colfax from all parts of the house
were perfectly wild, while the names ofWil-
son, Fenton, Ben Wade, were received with
great enthusiasm. ' ,

After 3rd ballot Gov. Curtin was with-
drawn. On the Fifth ballot Penn. gave 30
for Colfax, when everything broke, and the
audience broke in with the wildest applause
and immediately every State hastened in the
greatest confusion to record their votes en-
tire for Colfax, with only one or two excep-
tions; The vote was read, Colfax 522, Fen.-
ton 75, Wade 42, Wilson 11, and Colfax de-
clared nominated, when Gen. Sickles rose
amid cheers and after order was restored,
moved to make the nomination unanimous,
which was done, and the applause was tre-
mendohs. The officers of the Convention
were appointed to wait upon the candidates
to inform them of their nomination, &c., and
Gov. Hawley leaves to-day for that purpose.

The National Executive Com. was. ap-.

pointed, thanks to the ofiicers passed, &c.,
and the Convention adjourned at half-past 5
o’clock, having been in session over seven
hours.

It is but justice to Gen. Hawley to say
that he made a splendid presiding officer; his
voice could be heard distinctly in all parts of
the assembly; he was very prompt, quick in
decision, and to his able management is due
in a great measure the promptness of the.
nomination for Vice President. It was not
thought possible to complete the business
yesterday, but be pushed business rapidly
and sueceded. He was universally liked,
and is highly complimented on all sides.

Last evening the city was given over to
jollifications. Ben-fires illumined the streets,
cannon roared, bands played everywhere,
meetings were held in several places, and en-
thusiasm and delight with the nominations
were everywhere expressed, and the ticket
universally pronounced the strongest that
could have been made.

Among the people here, now, or formerly,
from Connecticut, in' addition to the dele-
gates, arc Hon. Marshall Jewell of Hartford,
whose pleasant face. attracts the attention of
all, and whose ever cheerful good nature wins
friends for him wherever he goes; Henry
Smith, 2nd, of Ridgefield, to whom your
correspondent is indebted for special favors;
Oliver Hoyt, of Stamford, who is here with
his brother, Rev. W. C. Hoyt; Capt. Tucker,
of Watcrburry, who is drivinga sharp busi-
ness in Grant medals, of which he has a
great variety, and is “ pushing” with true
Yankee energy; John Tweedy, of Danbury;
Rev. R. K. Diossy, of New Orleans, formerly
of Norwalk, and Rev. L. P. Perry, of Rye,
both in attendance on the Methodist Conven-
tion, which will not adjourned until June.
Among the ladies were Mrs. and Miss Coe, of
Winsted,Mrs. A. H. Byington and Miss Annie
Hill, ofNorwalk. The room of the delega-
tion is constantly visited by natives of Conn.
now living in this city, or in attendance 0
the Convention, and we are continually
meeting familiar faces.

Gen. J. B. Rogers, father-in-law of Wm.
R. Smith, of Norwalk, is here with the Ten-
nessee delegation, and I was most happy to
meet him. The General was an outspoken,
earnest union man through the war, who
suffered severely in the loss of property and
had t9 flee the State for his life. He is now
a member of the Tennessee Senate, and .a
very prominent candidate for Congress, and
I sincerely hope that he may obtain agent in
that body, for certainly that State could not
send a better representative.

Most of our Connecticut people have gone
home, but a party of about fourteen, includ-
ing your correspondent, start this, Friday,
p. m. for a trip on the Union Pacific Rail-
road, m‘a the Chicago and North Western.

. Yours ever.

It is of rare occurrence to find so fine an as-

WAttention is called to the advertise-

and most successful institutions of the kind
in the land, and as life insurance has become
to be considered an almost indispensiblc pro-
vision, and its safety and profitableness as
an investment so well established, the claims
of a company ’of this character should be
well considered. Mr. Terry, of Bridgeport,

give our citizens an opportunity to ascertain
more fully the plans and operations of the
company and to insure therein.

“Where did you get that cigar, Colfax,” said
Grant. “ I get my cigars of a man in Dan-

Grant, “I will order some.” Thereupon the

sic was crowded to excess by the friends of
one of the greatest and best enterprises
which philanthropic Christianity has organ-
ized. We refer to the meeting of the Ameri-
can Sunday School Union. The organiza-
tion of the Society combines in its good
trait of teaching religion to, children,
all the various denominations Of the faith.
It is not sectional in its- scope or arrange-
ment. The speakers included cler en of
all the evangelical denominations. view
of the vast field which opens before the
Union, it certainly should receive our hear-
tiest support. We know of but one other
association which opens its arms so widely
to all—the American Bible Society. The
treasury accounts show a receipt of $96,-
505.43; the expenditures, $117,986.99,1eav-
mg a deficiency of $29,587.17. But the So-
ciety well relies on the liberality of our citi-
zens to have the deficit made ood.

For the cure of incipient Consumption, Coughs,

urged by kind friends, who have Used, and benefited

few know the large expense, now that the country is

 

. flooded with Patent Medicines,which attend the same.

For years past I was reluctant to do so. as the capital
required would be large and I' did not wish to curtail
the operations of my Venetian Linlment business.
But, thanks to the generous public, who have appre-

without any detriment to my large business in that
medicine. The foundation of my success I attribute
to attending to the manufacture of every drop myself

THE subscribers call your attention to a new Ferti-

nfiy, made from Night Soil, Blood, Bones an Oil'al of
cw York City, called

Double Refined Pondrette,

which is an entirely different article from the common
Poudrctte made in former years. It; is nounnn rns
STRENGTH of the old kind,- fine as flour, free from coarse
impurities, and is as strong and effective as any super-
phosphate in market, although sold for only '

Twenty-five Dollars a Ton in New York.

This article has only been used one season, but its
efi‘ects have astonished every one who have tried it,
and the company confidently assert that used in quan-
tities half as large as was formerly used of the com-
mon Poudrcttc, that it will not only double the crop,
but ripen from ten days to two weeks earlier.

This makes it by far the cheapest and most prefera-
ble manure in market. -

WAmong the many restoratives which nature has
supplied to relieve the afilictions of humanity, there is
no more favorite one for a certain class of diseases
than the “medicinal gum” of the Wild Cherry Tree;
but however valuable it 15, its power to heal,to soothe
to relieve and to cure, is enhanced ten fold by scien-
tific and judicious combination with other ingredients
in themselves of equal worth. This happy mingling
exists to a remarkable degree in

Dr. Wlslar’s Belgium orwua Cherry,
whose value in curing Coughs, Colds, Bronchitis,
Whooping Cough, Croup, Asthma, Pulmonary Affec-
tion, and Incipient Consumption is inestimablc.

Strong testimony.

From anJAMIN Wnnnnnu Esc., Depot Master at
South Royalston, Mass.

.“In the 5 ring of 1858 I was most severely afilictcd
wrth altar , dry coughnvith its usual accompaniments
of night sweats, completely prostrating my nervous
system, and producing such a debilitated state of
health that after trying medical aid to no purpose, I
had given up all hopes of ever recovering, as had also
my iricuds. At this stage of matters I was prevailed
upon through the influence of a neighbor to try Wis-
tar’s Balsam of Will Cherry, and before using two but-
tles, the cfi‘cct was almost magical. My cough entire-
1v left me, the night sweats deserted me. hope once
more elated my depressed spirits, and soon I had at?
tained my wontcd strength and vigor. Thus has this
Balsam, as has often been remarked by persons con-
versant with the above facts, literally snatched Inc
from the yawning grave. You are at liberty to use this
for the benefit of the afilictcd.”
