.EDITORIAL LETTER.
. Wasuixcrox, April 9th, 1876.
Echief .subject of ., comment nmong
mot mfgmseshhre during: the past
electoralyotes the next Presidential dontest
is to be determined. This is barely possible,
but not. strictly. protublejn the .minds 9f”;
others equally as wellposted. {Phat our six:
votes are tobegof the ;gravest.conseq'_nence
to _the Winning . party. cannot be gaihsaid.
This complexion of the case fully justifies,
the politicians’ Special interest in the late
election in our little State. Some of (fur re:
publican friends are disposed to be censorious
and accuse us of a want of faith and pluck,
and a lamentable lack of organization; We
fear the latter charge is too well founded.
When a sagacious political manager remark-
ed to us yesterday, that '“ had the Republi-
cans in Connecticut had half the courage, and
roused themselves to half the energetic work
of the New Hampshire boys, we should, have
carried the State”——we oculdnothiiut feel like
pleading'half‘-wa‘y guilty to the "indictment.
Ot‘ course our defeat has caused no end of
consolation and “moral support” t‘o _ theiioono
clad ex-confederates in the House of Repre-‘L
sentatives. _ The tax-Confederates reason; andl
very justly, that they are now justified and
vindicated, by at least one' New England
State. Ben Hill was soundly berated by his
'friends after the New Hampshire electionfns;
responsible for. the democratic rout thereof.
To his indisereet ”utterances. was the demo-
cratic disaster in the. ,Granite' State attribuo
ted. Now,- Commotiout has .ffvindicated“ '
him and he has; the; most satisfactory assur.
ances possible,_that..the..democmcy of our
State, at-least, has no condemnation for his
disloyalty or the bloody attempt made by his
people to overthrow the government. And
he is justified in his conclusions. Not only
has the Connecticut democracy endorsed all
his disloyal utterances on the floor of . Con-
gress and all the terrible record of treason
I made by the South in the Rebellion, but Eshe
has sent to the: United States Senate a man,
upright and honorable it is true, but who
- nevertheless is as strict a States Rights man
as ever bore '-=arms against his government;
But there is a deep and abiding loyalty iicv‘
ertheless in the hearts of a majority of .‘the
people of Connecticut. The election, just
past, has shown how needful and how easy it
will be for our patriotic massesto victori-
ously prove that abiding sentiment of. fealtyi
to the nation in the Coming November elec-
tion. It will bean almost criminal neglect of
duty and squandering of opportunity, if we
do' not do it.‘ But the work of organization
and discipline must be begun at once, if we
are-to accomplish so desirable a result, and
enact‘ so palpable a duty. ‘ ‘
Little in the way of practical legislation has
yet been accomplished. A slight prospect
exists that the bill for substituting silver
change in lieu of papenfractional currency
may become a law. If so, without still fur-
ther legislation, it is only going to add one
more embarrassing complication to our pres.
ent fluctuating money system. ' It is a curious
fact that four paper quirter dollar promises
of the government will purchase more than
four silver quarters. Besides, no one wants
the silver change. All prefer the paper as a‘
matter of personal convenience. The silver-
to be substituted costs its full value and must ‘ "
deplete the Treasury of its gold coin to the
full amount of the silver bullion purchased,
whereas all the present fractional currently
costs, is the bare papeer printing, and these.
two expensesarefully met, it is claimed, from '
the amounts lost and destroyed and never re:
turned to the Treasury for redemption. Still
the inuoduction again of silver, as a concilia-
tory mediummsy hasten the day of specie re-
sumption, and' if so, it may be wise to‘ at
once inaugurate this partial and limited apl
preach to gold assumption. ' '_ ' ‘ ';
The poor, “suffering women discharged
from the .Currency Printing division oflthe
Treasury are still in a most deplorable and
suffering condition. . A petition fully setting
forth their starving condition and the suffer.
ing need of their work, has been put in the'
hands of the Hon. Sam. Randall, with the
hope that he, as one of the leaders of the
democratic House may induce an immediate _
appropriation of the morxiy lying idle in the
Treasury, forthis purpose. - " '
It is estimated thnt over forty millixms. of
dollars, in mutilated currency, belonging to
cumulated here since the money gave out for
printing new bills and fractional currency foi-
exchange of the old and defaced money thus
forwarded. Meantime private charity, pub-
lic collections in churches and about the city,
only keeps actual starvation from the doors
of hundredrtofthewivesand'orphans of our
dead Union soldiers, hitherto eniployed in the
Printing: Bureau. . , ' . - g .
The impeachment of Belknap is all arrangi-
ed for and w111,be commenced about the last

first take the grounds of a want of jurisdicg
tion, on account. of his resignation. . Some
new and interesting questions will be evolved
and the trial, on its attempted inaugmationi
will provoke an exciting and learned discus?
sion, at least. i '
The House mania for' investigations” still
rages. But it is perfectly comical;-—‘or' would
he, were it net contemptible—to see how
quick a lead-which has» been struck on the
trail‘ of ‘any- prominent republican, is dropi
ped, if possible to do so, the moment a demo.
ocrat is uncovered. Every discharged clerk,
disgranted contractor, and .graced SSW?
tive, is gerymandered in . every way possible:
to smut. any: republican official. So bold:
faced and extreme has been this partisanship
that decent democrats have been as, hot .in.

We are. perfectly sure thatnine-tenths of the:

ing is from the Dayton (Ohio) Journal .-
UNCLE Tom’s Carma—The play of Uncle
Tom’s Cabin drew a crowded house last night,
and the audience were in no degree disap-
pointed in its presentation. . The. leading
characters, Topsy, Eva and Uncle Tom, were
acted in a most acceptable manner. Mabel
Leonard as Eva, was remarkable for so young
a child, and Topsy was fully up to the stand-
ard of the most celebrated whohave under-
taken that part. The most unimportant char-
acters of the play have prominence on the
'stage, and these parts were all filled acceptal
bly. It was after eleven o’clock when the
curtain fellon the last act, but'the audience
remained unfatigued throughout.
In connection with the drama, the Colored
Virginia Jubilee Singers will appear and sing
selections from their old Southern hymns and»
introduce .tl'ieir‘beautlfulimelodies, songs, and
original dances. The singers are eight in
number and have been pronounced by the
New York press as superior to any troupe of
Jubilee Singers that has appeared before the
Anicrican public. ’ Secure your seats early as
we predict a crowded house. .

Great interest is apparently felt in the City

The great matter seems to be theamcndnient
of quite a number of the sections- of‘the’

gested, were proposed by a committee ap-
pointed two years since for that purpose, and
when submitted to the people at a public
meeting for approval, were noted doum bpa.
large nmjority. Another fact is prominent; _;
that men and even legislators who have aided
in obtaining amendments to the. City Charter
in former years without the knowledgeof the
people, have now found that it is absolutely
necessary to have not only a notice that an
amendment will be petitioned_for, but what
those amendments are to be, advertised for

Religious services have been held in all the
clmrclies, every evening,with few exceptions;
those in the Methodist church the most large-
ly attended. As a rule two [or three preach—
ing services ar'e held, and yet the interest in -
religious matters continues and conversions ,
are frequent. The experience meetings often
bold, are now considered the most interesting
and profitable, and are more free from form
and bashfulness than is usual. It has been.
remarked, justly, “ what a, change Christ's
love can make,” opening the hearts and
mouths of his professed followers as well as
the lips of those who only a short timgsince
scoffed at God’s name and used it only in pro—
fanity and ribald jest. Another change has
been. made which it is hoped will be perma-
nent andlasting. Scores of, men,'who only a
little time since spent their evenings in the
saloons or at the club .roomskarecOnstanhand
punctual in their attendance on the serviEEE
of the sanctuary, and many are rejoicing in a
new life, new desires and new joys. It is
feared by many that the omission of preach-
ing services, as was‘had for a month or more,
will cause the deep interest .to decrease, and
that a large-number who were “ aliadst ,per-- '
suaded” will not be brought into the fold .j of
Christ, and that many an intemperate man
may be lost, because they need great attracl
tions to bring them under the influence of the
go‘speL' Though thereis’no organized band
of women to labor for this class here, all con-
cede the good influence of your faithful band
of workers has been felt here. The temper.
ance women of to-day are like Esther, weep-
ing, fasting and praying, saying, “It is the
life of our friends, neighbors, sons, husbands

I have had a good deal of experience, one
time and another, with criminals, and I have
always observed that a hardened and guilty
man stands up boldly and unflinciiingl'y
against charges. This is natural, fora man“ '
conscious of an offence or. crime knows that
he is liable at any moment 'to be Iaccused “of
it, and he nerves himself up to appear inno-
cent and indifferent, when the crisis arrives.
Not so, however, with an innocent. man, for
I have always observed thzft a' guiltless man
charged with crimb generally breaks, down
under a false accusation.~—Bm Butler, upro-

A good anecdote"has lately crossed the
ocean of an American girl who was playing
croquet in England last summer. “What a
horrid scratch 2” said she indignantly, when
her mallet once. failed of its duty and she
missed her shot. “‘01), my dear, said an
English cousin, “you should not use such .
slang expressions.” “What should I have
said ?” asked the American maiden afterc'an-
vassing her vocabulary for a perfectly unex-
ceptionable phrase; “ you might have. said,
“What a beastly fluke !”

The soap bubble said to the pipe bowl from

have grown. It is plain there is not enough
of you to discharge your functions. You are
too little even to hold the tobacco of the aver-
age sized laboring man, and as your capacity
has become so manifestly inadequate for the
supply of my circulation I sever our connec-

Dr. Schenck’a Standard Remedies.
The standard remedies of all diseases of the
lungsare SCIIENCK’S PunnourcSrnurficnsncns
SEA WEE!) Tome, and SCIIENCK’S Maximum
PILLS, and, if taken before the lungs are destroy-
ed. a speedy cure is cfi‘ectcd.
To these three medicines Dr. J. H. Schcnck, of,
Philadelphia, owes his unrivaled succus in the
treatment of' pulmonary diseases;
The Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter
in the lungs ; nature throws it off by an easy ex-
pectoration, lor when the phlegm or matteris ripe
'a slight cough will throw it off, the patient has
rest: and the lungs begin to heal. ’ \
To enable the I’ulmonic Syrup to do this,
Schenck-‘s Mandrake Pills and Schenck’s Sea.
Weed Tonic must be freely used to cleanse the
stomach and liver. Schenck’s Mandrake Pills act
on the liver, removing all obstructions, relax the
gall bladder, the bile starts freely, and the liver is
soon relieved.
Schenck’s Sea Weed Tonic is a gentle stimulant
and alterativc; the alkali of which it is composed,
mixes with the food and prevents soaring. It as-
sists tho-digestipn by toning up the stomach to, a.
healthy condition, so that the food and the Pulmo-
nic Syrup will'mako good blood; Then the lungs
heal, and the patient will surely get well if care is
taken to prevent fresh cold. ’
All who wish to consult Dr. Schciick, either per-
sonally or by letter, can do so at his principal of-
fice,corner of Six'rli and Anton 51's., Philadelphia
