WHEELER, - W NEW YORK. .i " The Real Issue. The real issue involved ’in the approaching Presidential election, is whether those who fought for, and sustained the Union against the armed rebellion of Southern demo- cratic leaders, shall continue in control of the National Administration, or whether these same southern leaders,defeated in their appearl to the’ sw0rd,shali again come into unrestrain- political power. No amount of sophistries ofr‘hard or soft money, or questions of the bible in schools, or introduction of Roman Catholic prelatcs to pray for them in Conven- ti ll]: can cover up or conceal this one hideous flint of the campaign. The dead-lock in Congress over the appro- priation Bills still continues. The points at issue between the House and Senate, are not questions of reduction, but the Senate re- fuses to concede to the House the unusual demand it makes of attaching spaniel Midla- tiou to its appropriation Bills. Quite a sen- sation was produced in the Senate, on Satur. day, by Gen. Logan declaring that the con- federate members of the House having failed to destroy the Government by arms, were now endeavoring to ruin it by their legisla- tion. The ex-rebel Major Blackburn, at Kentucky, and now member of the House and a brother of the Dr. Blackburn who attempted to spread small-pox and yellow fever through the Northern cities during the war, stood behind Logan, but immediately 10th the Senate, as the soldier senator uttered his truthful denunciation. -, The House would have been more sure 0 the sympathy of the country in its difference with the Senate over the appropriation Bills, if it had made the issue directly upon the question of reduction. The Senate might, in that case, have acceded to the economical idea of the House, and let the responsibility rest, where it-belt'mged. But when, as “riders" to necesmry appropriation Bills, the House seeks to force. the Senate into obnox: ions legislation, there is reason in resistance- As the New York Tones puts it, the Senate merely denies that the House has a right to; say toiti “If you do not consent to the transfer‘of the Indian Bureau to the War Department, you cannot have money to maintain the Indian service; if you do not consent to abrogste the laws protecting the purity of federal elections, you cannot have money to pay your Judges; if you do not consent to reorganize the army, and reduce its number to 22,000 men, you, cannot have any ai'my ; if you do not consent to limit the number of laborers in each navy-yard in the country to fifty during the months of Octo- ber and November of any year, you cannot have any navy, and so on." Such demands are clearly unjustifiable. g===2 Th0 newly organized “Central National Bank" have leased the store in Guam Brownie, just vacated by Jackson Brothers, where they will at once prepare to commence Business. ' The interior of that old landmark, Castle Garden',- New York, was destroyed by fire on Sunday ' afternoon last. The building has long been endeared to New Yorkers by his- torical associations. It was originally a fort and subsequently a “garden," or place of amusement, the best in the city, and very popular. Here Lafayette was received in 1824, and Jenny Lind made her brilliant first appearance in America. The structure has recently been occupied by the Emigration Commissioners. The old walls still remain, and the interior will be restored. .. m Fran—A house on Comstock's Ridge, in the northern part of the town owned by Mr. Reed, and occupied by a Mr. Purcell and family. was destroyed by fire on the afternoon of the 4th of July. The family and neighbors worked hard to save the building, but with. out success. The barn caught fire, but, by great exertion the flames were extinguished. The house was valued at about $1,000 and was not insured. Mr. Purcell loses nearly everything'he possessed, and is entitled to public sympathy and assistance. It is thought the fire originated from fire crackers. =2: The good time coming rightalong is the Methodist Excursion to Savin Rock in the steamer Laura, next week Tuesday. The adv. today will give full particulars. This is the event of the season in that line, and the attendance will not be confined t': "ur Methodist friends for all will go who can arrange to do so. An unusual sight greeted the attendants at the First Congregational church on Sunday last. Six or seven beautiful silk American ensigns were displayed from the sides of the pulpit steps, the choir railing, and the organ, while the pulpit, the communion table and the font were decorated with beautiful flow- ers. An exquisite epergne, with a base of pond lilies, amounted by three masses of bright red geraniums, with a mass of blue blossoms at the top,—thus pleasingly blend- ‘ ing the National Colors—graced the com. munion table,‘whlle the font was heaped with pure white,fi‘h lilies, and the pulpit was. covered witliiitrailing plants and flowers. It was the best and most appropriate floral dis. play we ever .saw in the church, and the ladies having charge of the arrangements are to be congratulated upon the charming effect. The occasion was the Centennial observance recommended by the State Association. The pastor, Rev. Mr. Hamilton, discoursed upon historical matters connected with the church, speaking first of the settlement of the Colony of Connecticut and of the town, the estab- iishment of' the church, the various church edifices, the ministers settled over the people, the effect of the church upon society, &c. His subject was so rich and full of interest that he was unable to condense all he wished to say in one morning's address, and he pro- posm to continue the subject at some future time, and to furnish the hiss. to the Secretary of the State Amociation at Hartford, for pre- . servatlos, as desired. The choir performed appropriate music for the occasion. If the hot spell cdntinues Congress will be forced to adjourn. On Saturday, Congress- men Parsons, of Kentucky, was prostrated at his hotel and soon after died. Senator Davis, of West Virginia, was prostrated in the Senate Chamber, and was carried out in- sensibic. Senator Morton was overcome, and fled to his hotel, exhausted. Senator Thur- man, of Ohio, dared not leave his house. Mr. West, of Louisiana, fled from the Senate cham- ber, and others seemed demoralized. The ofllccrs of the Connecticut Brigade it is said, are , arranging for a grand review while the command is on its visit to Phil- adelphia in September. This review will be on Broad street,-the finest street in the Gen- tennial city—Land the reviewing officers will be President Grant and General Wm. T. Sherman. Gov. Hartranft, of Pennsylvania, and other gentlemen prominent in both mili- tary and civic life, will be invited to join the reviewing party. . —-——-—.—-o. s...— The vicinity of Dubuque, Iowa, was visit- ed by a fearful storm Tuesday night.

The Centennial Anniversary pasticd off in Norwalk, without much fuss, and with even less noise and fewer accidents than usual on the 4th of July. The Burnside Guards and Fire Department. of the City, and the two fire companies from the_ Borough left for Danbury about 8 o clock, a. m., accompinicd by many citizens. Num r )us parties started for the Islands and Groves on the shore, leuv- ing our quietest citizens to enjoy the day at home as best they could. The only public celebration 'was by our Irish-born residents who gathered together and held a pic-nic on the Fair Grounds, where they seemed to thoroughly enjoy themselves. , The Societies, St. Joseph’s, St. Mary’s and St. James’ with some two hundred children of the Sunday- school, formed in procession, headed by the Ansonia Band, and with flags, .banners, rega- iia, etc, marched to the Fair Grounds, mak- ing a fine appearance. Early in the evening, crowds and crowds and crowds of people gathered on the Green to witness the display of fireworks. The An- sonia Band furnished music. ' The display was quite a brilliant one, lasting about two hours, and there was not a single failure. We have already published full descriptions of the pieces. Mr. Edge’s man in charge and the committee deserve commendation forthe successful manner in which the arrangements were casricd out. The people were orderly and-quiet, and the evening passed off very pleasantly and to the general satisfaction of all concerned. ACClDEN'l‘S.—-—'Tllc accidents on the 4th were comparatively few, and those not of a very serious nature. A son of Wm.

The country was startled, on Thursday morning by the news of a terrible repulse of acavalry expepition against the Indians in the Dakota department and the killing of the gallant Gen. God! A. Custar and_ five com- panies of his command. He found a village of unusual size on the Little Big Horn River, and, without even waiting to recruit his nearly exhausted men, be divided his command and boldly charged the Indians. Major Reno with three companies, made a charge, was repulsed, and finally. succeeded in withdrawing a portion of his forces to a high bluff, where he was joined by three other companies. The Indians surrounded them a whole day, and killed many. Gen. Ter- ry in his report says:—“ Of the movements of General Custer and the five companies under his immediate command, scarcely anything is known from those who witnessed them, for no soldier or officer who accompanied him has yet been found alive. His trail from the point where Reno crossed the stream passes along and in the rear of the crest of the bluffs for nearly or quite three miles; then it comes down to the bank of the river, but at once diverges from it, as if it had uusucccss- fully attempted to cross; then turns upon it'- self, almost completes a circle, and closes, It is marked by the remains of his officers and men, the bodies of his horses, some of them ”dropped along the path, others heaped, where halts appear to have been made. There is abundant evidence that a gallant resistance was offered by the troops, but they were he- set on all sides by overpowering numbers. It is impossible yet to obtain a reliable list of the enlisted men who were killed and woun- ded, but the number of killed, including ofli- ccrs, must reach 250. The number of woun- ded is 21. 'Another portion of the expedition, under command of Gen. Gibbons, with which Cus. tcr was to co-Ioperatc, ' had a very severe march, and arrived at their destination only to find that the battle had been fought and lost, but just in time to save the remnant of Reno’s force. Heretofore our Indian cam- paigners have acted on the notion that one soldier was capable of successfully contend- ing with from ten to’twenty Indians, and the most successful of our officers have made it a rule, after a brief skirmish, to charge down upon the savages, who almost invariably fled and abandoned the contest. So successfully has this style of tactics been employed that heretofore it has been taken for granted that no force of Indians, however large, would stand their ground against an impetuous charge of cavalry. Unfortunately, in this deplorable affair at Little Horn, General Custer_scems to have acted on this theory. Gen. Sheridan does not ask for volunteer cavalry. He thinks he has men enough and only asks for a little time, and the $200,000 he has 'asked Congress for in vein the past two years with which to establish two posts. He says: “I deeply deplore the loss of Cus- ter and his men. I fear it was an unneces— sary sacrifice, due to misapprehension and a superabundance of courage—the latter‘being extraordinarily developed in Custer * * There is nothing to be, regretted but poor Custer’s death and the men and officers with him. The column was suflicicntly strong to have handled the Indians if Custer had wait- ed for the junction. There is no cause for uneasiness, and we will soon give the Indians another turn.” 7 A very pleasing affair occured ,at the lst Congregational Church, last Sabbath evening. The occasion was the Sabbath School concert, but instead of the ordinary programme, the exercises were of a Centennial character, and they were truly inspiring and such as those children who were present will never forget, even should they ‘live to 'witness the next Centennial. No one could listen to such rc- sponsive readings, so choice and appropriate, hear recited so well, Whittier’s soulinsj'ying hymn, and hsten to such elevating musrc by .us by Mr. Willis, who represents the publish- choir and chiiden, and hear what God has done for the First Church of Norwalk, and her Sabbath School, without feeling and dc- siring what David did when he said, “Surely goodness and mercy will follow me all the days of my life; and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever.” Col. Hoyt’s Oration. Col. H. W. R. Hoyt, delivered an unusual- ly able and eloquent oration at Bethel on the 4th. It was largely historical which gave his effort an especial local value and interest. \Ve regret we have not room to give more copious selections from it, but our limited space this week restricts us to the following touching allusion to Connecticut’s dead Sen- ator :— Of the one hundred and thirty-three sol- diers who left your town from a population of less that two thousand souls, twenty died while in actual service, and others worn out and broken down by the sufferings and priv- ations they endured came home only to die. Within the limits that must be observed on this occasion, it; is. impossible to mention all or to recount the services that each one ren- dcred. But you would not forgive me if I failed to speak of him to whom your town gave birth but whom the State and nation claim as their own. The foundation of his intellectual greatness were laid in your com— mon schools; his character was formed amid the influences that- surrounded him in this New England village; his patriotism drew its strength and sustenance from the blood of .‘a brave and loyal ancestry, and Bethe] has no more illustrious a name upon the roll of her .sons than that of the faithful advocate, the Christian gentlemen, the sterling soldier, the pure minded and patriotic statesman, Ol‘l'lS S.

He an. nounces his inflexible purpose, if elected, not to be a candidate for a second term. He further promises to support measures de- signed to preserve non-sectarian schools; to aim for the restoration of peace and prosperity in the South; and to encourage all efforts looking to the preservation of the public credit in the payment of “its obligations as in our next. For What do we Pay Taxes ? This time it is our village bookseller. who oblrudcs this oft asked but seldom answered conundrum. ' he night before the Fourth, some youths fired with a laudable desire to signally and suitably inaugurate the Centen- nial Fourth, got the old field piece out in front of the Norwalk Hotel and began firing a solute. As might have been expected by cooler heads, the concussion shattered the glass in Scllcck’s store front. The ruin was complete and the dunmgc about $50. The surprise only is that so little damage was wrought. Mr. Scllcck supposed that the Borough, as a corporate body, organized for mutual protection and collecting liberal taxes from its citizens, would make good his loss. But he soon came to know, what very few do- know we apprehend, that tllc Borough is responsible for no damages its citizens may sustain from any such cause. . The fact is one that ought to be seriously contemplated by the tax payer. It is but a few months, since, that, in our sister city, a man’s building was ordered torn down to prevent, us it was sup- posed it would, the spread of a fire. It was evident afterward that the order given and destruction of property were entirely unnec- essary, yet the city repudiated its liability, law sustained the city’s action. It becomes a most serious question then, for what do we pay twee .9 If there is no protection secured to our property, why not return to our afore- thousunds of dollars annually paid by the cit- izens of Norwalk, into its Borough and City treasury. It would seem that any municipal corpora- tion, to be worthy the name, should proffer the best possible protection to the peace and comfort and the life and property of its citi- zens. If such results cannot be secured,then the sooner the expensive luxury of an empty name is abolished, the better. - In the present instance no mischievous intent prompted this injury to Mr. Selleck, and none regretted it more than the individuals responsible for it. Nevertheless there is a woeful lack of care and regard for the rights and property of others in this community, and the evil is growing. The freedom with which private premises are invaded, fruits taken and flow— ers plucked, shows-n painful lack of or appre- ciation for the rights of others, that not even the dead of our cemeteries restrains. We are sorry to add that this lawlessness is not even chiefly confined to “ Young America.” Probably our town is not an exception in this regard, but that such a state of society is a serious bar to the good name and consequent- ly to the growth and prosperity of a placc,no one can for a moment doubt. We can speak as one having abundant experience. With a view to the public and individual gratifica- tion, we have for years freely offered the use of the Amphitheater grounds and grove to all comers. Picnic parties,» public celebra- tions festivals, ball players and all comers have had their use without let or hindrance or cost. Our recompense has been the most wanton destruction of trees, fences, bridge, grass and grounds. Liberty to freely use has grown to license, So that ' now no fences can be maintained, but are swept off like dew before the sun, and cattle, teams, and the uni- versal public have unbridled and unrestrain- ed and unrestrainablc occupation. Such a condition of things are a disgrace to any civ- ilized community, and we instance our own sufferings solely because we believe them to be but a. fair sample of the outrages other citizens have been and are enduring. Can- not therc be some protection wrung from out our costly municipal contrivanccs. fl We hear theta large britannia and silver plate manufacturing firm, who desire to in- crease their facilities, ure desirous of chang- ing their location to Norwalk, if our people will extend proper encouragement. \Ve un— derstand that they can. show that they are already doing a paying business, and have flattering prospects for the future. We trust our monied men will look into the matter and if found to be as represented, will ex- tend all the necessary encouragement and induce them to settle in this place. Four young ladies graduated from Wesley- an University last week, and had the degree of “ Bachelor of Arts” conferred upon them. One of the artful maiden bachelors was mar- ried immedietely after the close of the grridn- ating exercises. - . . The Hat Finishers' National Trade Associ- ation of the United States, assembled in Philadelphia, June 26th, and continued in session through the week, discussing matters of interest to the Trade. Messrs. E. 'D. Cornell, of Philadelphia, Jeremiah Tierney, of Norwalk, J. B. McCleery, of Phila- delphia were unanimously reselected as Pres- ident, Secretary, and Treasurer for a term of four years—es high a compliment as the con- vention could pay them for their prompt, faithful and efficient services during the past four years. The members of the Philadel- phia Association entertained the delegates at abanquet which is spoken of in the warmest terms by the members who participated. . _ New Maps. The design for a new map of our Borough and City including the town, has been shown ass, Messrs. E. B. Hyde & 00., New York. We speak well of the enterprise, knowing the need of a good map of our place, and we are satisfied that the property holders will not only be interested in, but benefitted to a certain extent by the publication of 'such a. work. According to the style of mounting, which is a new and novel arrangement, it will far supercede anything of the kind ever/ pub- lished here. It is an original idea with the publishers and they are the only firm who mount their maps in this way. _ The map of the Borough and City will be drawn on a very liberal scale, showing the residences, with the carriage drives and own- ers’ names, lct lines, public buildings, parks, cemeteries, &c., the, Joe. The town map will show the farms with buildings and owners names, number of acres, and distances in rods from one intersection to another of the roads. _ The publication of the work will be attend- ed with a large expense, and a large list of names should be secured in _order to. make the work a success. We are assured by one of the film that the surveys will be carefully made and that the whole work will present an artistic appearance. “’0 notice Mr. \Vm. B.

In pursuance to arrangements made by the committee, Messrs. Elweil, T. 1. Raymond and Lane, Mr. S. A. Weed was empioyr d to see the arrangements carried out. Never was the work taken up with more vigor 0r alacrity. Bunting and. transparencies were soon at a pr:mium, as well as sperm candles. On the evening of the lid all was in readiness and at midnight, while the flags and trans- parencies were waving from nearly every house and porch, Messrs. D. L. Millard, D. P. Ely, and many others were ushering in the morn of the second centennial, while cannon were making their reverberating sound toward Long Island’s shore. On the morning of the 4th the‘cnnnon was again used to remind the people that a new year had commenced, while the lads and buses were not unmindful of the part Which they were to take in the general glorification. Putnam Hose and Old Well Hook and Ladder with the Burnside Guard, were early in preparation for their visit to Danbury. Almost every. office, store and dwelling was decorated. Private houses were the more conspicuous, not only in the center of the city, but on the prominent avenues on the hills. The most conspicuous of the pub- lic buildings, was the Fairfleld Insurance Building, the Sentzml 'oflice, and Ben the barber. “The former was covered with many and variegated flags :of splendid devices, which fdrmed a.scene..of oriental magnifi- cence. , Mrs. Burr Knapp displayed good taste in ordering her house decorated.

The proof was called for, and came in an elabor- ate protestation, but we do not want to pro: long the discussion on this point. Amendments to. the city charter have been made nearly every year, since the city has been organized. Thelast effort in this line, was consummated by the General Assembly at its late session. Not being satisfied with the repeal of some five sections, in 1871, the some sections are again repealed, and others added, making the charter (if the amend- ments are accepted by the legal voters)a muddle, and of these sections, a nullity. The people are to be called to vote upon the amendments before they are published in such a form that they can be understood. Not a little excitement has been caused by the arrest of a men while in the act of driv- ing away a horse and wagon belonging to Samuel Hull. It appears that police officer Berger had a clew to other depredations committed, and a suspicion of the guilty per- son. Laying his plans secretly, not divulging it even to the o‘er police, he prepared to make the arrest, but at 11 o’clock at night finding that there was two ways of exit from Hull’s Barn, he then communicated the fact to Tuttlc, who aided in the arrest. The evidence brought out on the examination of the culprit, implicates quite a. number of others who have bad a hand in these disre- putable transactions, and who, it is dikely, will be arrested for complicity in the offen- ces.

Two men named Thomas Jameson and James Monteith, both of whom had been drinking, had adifliculty near Bracken’s saloon, and the former was stabbed with a knife and seriously wounded. MOHtcith made off but was arrested next morning at South Norwalk. His examination comes off this morning, when both sides of the story will be told, and probably the true facts obtained. The New Haven Courier .-says:—“It has been decided that the Republican State Con- vention for the nomination of a State ticket will be held about the first of September. The State Committee are in possession of very encouraging, advices from all parts of the State, giving very -reasonable assurance that Connecticut will go for Hayes and Wheeler next November." . «en-o General Dix accepts the chairmanship of the executive committee of the Union veter- . ans, pronounces in favor of Hayes and Whee- ler, tells the veterans they can decide the Presidential .question with their half a mil- lion votes, and is sure “ there is one point on which all veteran soldiers and sailors cannot fail to agree, that they will not vote to place at the head' of the government any one who in the late desperate struggle for its existence was not openly and actively engaged in main- taining it against the assaults of its adversa- ries. ” ~ ——..«.

The usually quiet and aristocratic quarter of West Avenue adjoining Elmenworth" was tin-own into ~61. Hysterical chmotion last. week, by one of those exasperating domestic events, that though of very exceptional oc- currence, nevertheless, when they do occur, are sure to throw a whole community into the most intense neighborhood excitement. Our local reporter furnishes us herewith, with the victim’s version. Next week the vict( r may want to give his narrative of the. truly exhilerniing episode which has so set our staid villagers all agog, with the ther— mometer gvrating up into the nineties :— Mr. Joseph Muckey,‘ of New York, having had a conference with E. W. Stuart, last spring, in regard to routing his place on West Avenue, visited and examiner] the house about one week since, and after carefully looking over the place, wrote to Mr. Stuart, who was absent at the time, that. he “had examined the place and found everything as he had represented.” Mr. Stuart called on Mr. Muckcy, and after stipulating what privileges should be in- cluded in the rental, and the compensation had been fixed, Mackcy said he would take the place, and should come on July 0th. Accordingly, at the appointed time Mr. Stuart having vacated; a load of groceries, abox of fowls,-two horses and one cow were sent by Mackcy’s order and the day following, the servants with four or five children and their cats took formal possession and the servants proceeded to gather vegeta- bles from the garden, and early in the after- noon, dinner was prepared; the servants rcmarking that it seemed good-t0 get settled in the country once more, where there was plenty of fresh vegetables. ‘ Later in the day the remainder of the family arrived and the children let loose from the restraints of city life, were either driving john-like over the premises, or racing through the house fully testing the strength of every obstacle in the‘ shape of furniture which come in their way, until they had already left the unmistakble evidence of their presence in every part of the house. 1 Soon the remainder of the goods and chat- tels of the family arrived and were rapidly being placed in the house, when 10, the fathg er and sire of the large and growing family numbering with the servants some fifteen .souls, dawned upon the scene, and joined the molly. throng who had taken possession of this heretofore quiet home. - It occurred to Mr. Stuart who was survey- ing the scene from a distance, that he would speak to the new occupant before leaving the neighborhood and the home of so ,many mingled scenes of joy and sorrow, and there- upon called on the new comer. Mr. Mackey immediately declared in most .angry tones that it was agreed that he should have the use of four wagons and that he did not find them. Mr. Stuart assured him that ‘ they were all on the place save the one which ha en doing good service for his boy during the day, and had no sooner pointed to three of the number, when the boys came thundering to the place with the missing wagon. Mr. Mackcy still insisted that he was to have another wagon, which Mr. Stuart denied. ‘ Then he complained that the water closa.‘ was not in order, and was informed, that no closet was mentioned as belonging to the house, but that it was expressly stipulated that the only conveniences in addition to an ‘ ordinary country house, was cold water only, and that no bath tubs or other conveniences were in the house, all bf which Mackey had fully inspected the week previous. But without listening to a word from any source and throwing up his arms in' angry gesticulations, he called out “take out the things from the house, pack up your goods, I wont hear a word.” Immediately all was confusion and dismay. The children stood affrighted and crestfallen, while the law-abid- ing Justice was seriously considering if it was not his duty to read the riot act, which he probably would have felt constrained to do had not his book of statutes been safely packedaway in the attic in order to make room for the man then in such perturbed pos- session. _ . But at length, after much hurrying .to and fro, the goods are reloaded, the good-natured expressman managing to suppress his emo- tions. Meanwhile, the horses and the cow are led forth from the stables where they had been fed and carefully cared for from the abundant resources of the barn, and this man of. perfection condescended to bid adieu to the family who had toiled for a week amid oppressive heat to make everything ready for his occupancy, and had received the un- qualified testimonial upon their first visit, that the house was in the best condition. In dumb consternation the chief Justice saw the solemn procession move off his prem- ises. The cow, the horses, the cats and fowls were trooped arormd to East Avenue, where it halted, and entering one of those quiet domiciles, the animals were set loose in the door yard, and the bovine made instant and destructive assault upon the grape. arbor, and all seemed possessed like the locusts of Egypt- to devour every green thing. Harlem the Clothier, carries a pretty leve1 head for a man over ears in business this hot weather. He has had an elaborate'pole and reel, decorating his show window for some time back, but conceiving the idea that such an adornment was possibly suggestive of- ‘ffish stories,” as connected with the remarks- blc “bargains” he was offering the public from week to week—in order to totally dissi- pate any such imputation, he sought to trans- fer the mischievous rod to some party abso- lutely above such possible suspicion. His keen judgment never stoofiout in more con- spicuous and absolute certainty! He trans- ferred the fish-pole to the village editor! Did ever human discrimination show a more con- summate triumph over the current prejudices of this wicked world?

In a speech to the Jackson club at Albany, Mr. Tilden drew a very gloomy picture of the condition of the country. We are reach- ing he said, “ the worst condition of the coun- tries ol‘ the Old World. The government no longer exists for the people; the people only exist for the government. Our Centennial product is the wrongs, license and evils, to escape which our ancestors abandoned their homes in the Old World, and planted them. selves in a wilderness.” The Centennial or. ators do not agree with Mr. Tilden. Mr. Ev— arts said: “The spirit of the Nation is at the highest—its triumph over the inborn, inbred perils of the Constitution has chased away all fears, justified all hopes, and wrth univers- al joy, we greet this day. We have not prov- cdunworthy of a great ancestry; we have had the virtue to uphold what they so wisely, s0 firmly established.” The 'Rev; Dr. Storrs was even more emphatic. He said: “I scout the thought that we, as a people are worse than our fathers! There has never been a time—not here alone, in any country —whcn the fierce light of incessant inquiry blazing on men in public life would not have brought out such forces of evil as we have seen, or when the condemnation which fol- lowed the discovery would have been sharper. And it is among the deepest convictions that, with all which has happened to debase and debuueh it, the nation at large was never be. fore more mentally vigorous or morally sound than it is to day." , Even Mr. Charles Francis Adams, who is not apt to be carried away by enthusiasm, said: “For myself, while sincerely..mourn— ing the more possibilitytof stain touching our garments, I feel not the less certainty that the heart of the people remains as sound as Tilden and defeat—Philadelphia , .R CIIOLWELL. ever."

They are compounded of vege- table ingredients, and contain nothing which can be injurious to the human constitution. Other remedies advertised as cures for Consumption, probably contain opium, which is a somewhat dangerous drug in all cases,and if taken freely by consumptive patients, it must do great injury, for its tendency is to confine the morbid matter in the system,whieh, of course, must make a cure impossible. Schenck’s Pulmonic Syrup is war- ranted not to contain a particle of opium, It is composed of powerful but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs,livcr,stomacb and blood, and thus correct all morbid secretions, and expel all the diseased matter from the body. These are the only means by which Consumption can be cured, and as Schcnck’s I’ulmonic Syrup, Sea . Weed Tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which operate in this way, it is obvious they are the only genuine cure for Pulmonary Consumption. Each bottle of this invaluable medicine is accompanied by full directions. Dr. Schenck is professionally at his principal office, corner of Sixth and Arch streets, Philadelphia, every Monday, where all letters for advice must be addressed. 4t24 Children Cry for Gastoria.
