Now I have heard of {our VearTiNg from a lady who was sick for a ong time, and became all well from {our Vegetine;‘and 1 went and bought one bottle of Vegetine; and after I had used one bottle, the pains left me, and it began to heal, and then I bouéht .another Dottlgyand so I take 1t yet. : 1 thank God for this reméﬁ'&nd yoursgelf; and anhin% every sufferer may pay attention to it. Itisab essing for health, MRS. C. KRABE,, 638 West Baltimore Street., 'VEGETINE LR P : SAFE AND SURE. g Mr. H. R. STEVENS:— R In 1872 your Vegetine was recommended to me, and, yielding to the persuasions of a friend; I consénted to try it. , At the time I was suffering from' general é’ebmty and nervous prostration, superinduced -by overwork and irregular habits. Its wonderful strengthe.ing and curative properties secmed to affect my debilitated system from the first dose; and under its persistent use I rapidly recovered, gaining more than usunal health and:good feeling. Since then I have not hesitated to give:Vegetine my most unqualfied indorsement, as being « safe, sure and powerfal agent in pronfoting health and restoring the wasted system to new life and energy. Vegetine:is the only medicibe I use; and as long as [ live I-nev-er expect to find a vetter. Trr s Yonrs trul{. oW H CBARKS . 120 ,lonterey-{st., Allegheny, Pa.

Vegetine was strongly recommended to me by a friend who had been much benefitted by its asge. I procured the article, and, after uging several bottles, was restored to health, and discontinued its use.. I feel quite -confident that there is no medicine superior to it for those complaints for which it is especially prepared, and wonld cheerfully recommend it to those who feel ‘hat they need something to restore them to ’i)'erfcct health. : Respectfully yours, U.

February 20th, 1878, ’ I am greatly honored in being called to preside over your deliberations. I will discharge the duties imposed upon-me impartially, and I call upon you, by the grave responsibilities that rest upon you, to aid mein preserying order and decorum, and the right conduct of the business of the convention. Youand I have stood together in the contests of the past, encouraged sometimes by success, but more fre‘quently encountering the disasters of defeat. But always we have stood together, relying without a doubt upon the ultimate triumph of truth and right. No discord or jealousy has disturbed our ranks. Respect and confidence have everywhere prevailed.— None have sought/to promote personal ambition by exciting distrust between the counties and sections of the State; Union, harmony and convietion of right gave us the brilliant victory of 1876, which not only challenged | the admiration of the Democracy of ; the whole country, but established In- | diana.as a democratic State. The - work to be done in 1878 is scarcely less important. Not only is democrat1¢ supremacy to be maintained. by the election -of the State ticket, but the legislature ‘must be secured. The fraudulent and unconstitutional apportionment of 1873 must be substituted by an apportionment of legislative and congressional representation in the spirit of the constitution, giving to the people of each county and section of the State an equal voice in the enactment of the laws, in proportion to the population. We ask no more than equality in representation; we should accept nothing less. Need I remind you that -a Senator of;the United ‘States is to be chosen and need I add that upon that choice may de-’ pend the question whether the United States Senate shall be democratic? He who now, without cause, shall sow-‘ ~discord and excite jealousy in our | ranks is not a true Democrat. From . border to border and from ther 0: the lake, we will stand in unbroken and unwavering ranks, with the fixed purpose that Indiana. shall stand ‘ among the strongest and the firmest i of the democratic States. It is an agreeable and encouraging fact that we enter the contest of this year with no apologies or explanations to make for the present or late State administration. The present head of - the State administration. is'a gentle- | _man of clear judgment, pains taking and thorough in his iuvestigations,-l and careful of all the interests of the State. Personally identified with the most important interests of the peo-. ple he will diligently promote its suc- | cess by rigid economy in expenditures, and by excluding 'all unworthy and uunnecessary objects of public favor.— In his care for the public welfara he receives the efficient support of the: several State officers. | . . - One of the Louisiana criminals has been tried and convicted. The President and John Sherman say he should not.have been tried. Why not? His guilt and that of others is shown by the verdict. It is a high crime against the nation, and threatening the sta(bility of free institutions. What are | the relations between the President and Mr. Sherman and the accused that authorize or permit an.effort on their part to influence judicial proceedings 1n a State court? After along and -terrible contest it is settled that State ‘ elections and State legislatures must ‘ ‘be free from military influence and’ control. So also it must be understood that the President and his cabinet cannot directly or indirectly interfere with judicial proceedings under - State authority. State courts must be wholly free and independent of federal control except where the constitution and laws give to the federal judiciary an appellate supervision. It is to be regretted that the facts developed upon the trial are of such a character as to create anxiety on the. part of the President and any of his cabinet; but they can not avoid the effect upon the public mind of 'an exhibition of that anxiety, and of un‘seemly denunciations of the State authorities. Whilst it is true that the title of Mr. Hayes to the office of President, and of Mr. Wheeler to the office ‘of Vice-President, has been settled under the solemn forms of law; and whilst it is our duty, in my judgment, to recognize the title, because it is in ‘the interest of the public stability and tranquility 4o do so; it is still none the less true that an imperative duty demands that fitting punishment should be visited upon the public criminals through whose flagitious crime that judgment was ¢btained.— Because a judgment is final and conclusive forms no reason why immunity should be secured to the'criminal through whose perjury it was obtained. If this is true or a simple property judgment rendéred in a court of law, much more is it true of a monstrous crime against the elective sovereignty of a nation. The very fact that it was successful furnishes the ~strongest reason why the condign punishment of its perpetrators should cover it with perpetual infamy and manifest to all future conspirators against the liberties of the nation, the danger of attempting its repetition. ‘bublican party has been in almo: t un- | Tuterruptad oontrol the govornment of the United States, .

‘destitution and want. When an in- | dustrious and intelligent people are | found in such a state and condition, |lt is the dictate of wisdom to seek and | remove the cause, Qur country pos_Besses wonderful advantages of soil fand climate. Its products include { many of the great and valuable sta‘ples which command the markets of jthe world, Its mines have been profductive. In such a country why is Llt that the pedple tremble with alarm "as they contemplate the present and ‘look towards the future? The party ithat seeks to continue in power should ‘answer that question. What answer “can be made? Have not the special nactments and the general policy “been for the few and against the many ? The contract between the United States and the public creditors has vieen changed, and the change has een against the people. The curren¢y has been changed, but it has been by contraction, to the hurt of the debtor classes. The resumption act jwas adopted by a party vote in Congress and to serve party purposes.— Lhe great contest for its repeal wasin ®hioin«the fall of 1875, Governor “Allen led the movement. His defeat by Governor Hayes was the defeat of repeal The St. Louis convention declared in favor of the repeal of the resumption clause; and the democratic Housé then in session made the pledge of our party good and true by passing a bill for such repeal. The Senate was republican and refused to concur. That body accepted Gov. Allen’s defeat as a popular endorsement of re‘sumption. ; Since the inauguration of President Hayes I haye regarded repeal as hopeless. He was pledged to resumption. Every vg@te for him was for resumption. If John Sherman, at the head of the treasury, holds the position, he will enforce the strictest and hardest execution of the law; and it is understood that any bill to repeal the clause will .be wetoed. I have heretofore said that “In my belief, the resumption law has been the source of the greatest ealamity to the business interests and prosperity of the country. It has had the effect of causing men to hoard greenbacks, and the banks tg ] withhold and withdraw circulation, in the fear of being crushed by forced redemption in gold.” A favorable foreign trade has promoted a return to specie payment, and if the balances shall continue in our favor I expect to see our paper money at par with gold at an early day. Will the restoration of silver money mitigate the evils of contraction caused by the resumptionlaw? That is now the hope of the business men of Indiana. 1t is not as cheap money that the people demand its restoration, ] but as a legal-tender and coin contemplated by the constitution. When restored it will become again a standard and measure of value. Before its demonetization silver was at par value with gold, and when restored I think it will rise again to the same level. I need hardly say to you that the value of any class or description of property greatly depends upon the important uses to which it may be applied. Silver was money. They stripped it of that, its most important use,

gadr-now-say—it—is—werth cight per “cent, less than before, and therefore it ~can not be good money. Is that fair ‘argument? As a material for the manufacture of ware, silver will have | only the value iwhich that use can give it. But when stamped with the quality of money, and made a legal-tender for the payment of all classes of indebtedness, it becomes the active agenft of trade and ¢ommerce; measures values and discharges debts; and in such use becomes correspoadingly more important to society, and more valuable. Were gold stripped of the quality of money, what would be the effect upon its value? I do not believe the pennyweight of gold‘in the beautiful winecup is as useful to seciety nor as valuable as the- same weight of gold in the stamped coin which does its busy work in the channels of trade, and the demonetization of gold would demonstrate that fact. I have heretofore said that “silver has become un important product of this .country, and inasmuch as the world recognizes it as a money medium of exchange I can not see why we should not utilize-our large product of that metal to the greatest extent that may be found practicable. Its value as money to this country is too great to be thrown away.” : :

Should experience prove that, because of the increased production of silver, there will be a permanent and important difference between silver and gold, Congress is clothed with ample power to provide the proper and adequate remedy. It is objected to the restoration®f silver money that it will be in bad faith towards the public creditors. If I thought that possible I would nof favor restoration, however important to our interests I might esteem it.— My judgment is so enticely satisfied that I have noanxiety upon that question. The question is settled by -the fair reading of the public credit act of 1869, and the refunding act of 1870.— At the date of the former act it was lawful to pay the five-twenty bonds in treasury notes. But it was contended that because of the circumstances attending the creation of the debt it would not be proper 8o to construe the laws, and that payment ought not to be made in paper. To remove doubt and settle all coutroversy the act was passed. It pledged the faith of the United States to payment in coin. I opposed the measure in the Senate, and said that its effect would be to make the law to read that the debt shall be paid in coin.” The bill passed and became a law. 'Thereupou the debt became payable only in coin, not in gold coin alone, butin silver coin as well, for “the silver dollar was then a part of the coin of the country as honored in law and commerce as gold.” -~ Next came the law of July 14, 1870, to retund the national debt. That act provided for the issue of new bonds to the amount of fifteen hundred million dollars, bearing 4,414 and 5 per cent. interest. The bonds so to be issued were to be exchanged for the outstanding 5-20 bonds “par for par,” or sold for coim, and the proceeds were to be used 1n redeeming the 5-20 bonds. In the first section of the law it was provided that the new bonds should be made “redeemable in coin at the present standard value,” = : That law, gentlemen, had no uncertain meaning. ‘The new bonds were to be substituted for all the outstanding 5-20 bonds; they were to be sold 101 sy 40 ﬁwmoban?-deaf&rb f their languige that th e be “redeemable in coin of the present mbgﬁﬁv*i‘ivmﬁe”mﬁ‘ - ﬁ’ cent g‘}”g%ﬁl jaé«:? pors tance, Ly a distinguished citizen of New York. to call for a reviey na Now Yot o al for o sovew a4d SO e e

tionably given the phraeology-of the laws relating to the bonds a closer study than 1 had, for it wasin theline ‘of his business and of his profits. I had examined these laws with no pro- ‘ fessional or business p&pose, but only as a citizen interested im: the financial ‘policy of the country. He found it _useful to his argumeng to show, if pos--sible, that the law u d?r which the public.debt was bein’t. efunded, required the bonds to be paid in gold.—= He used this langua%e: “Yet I am supported by the opinion of illustrious lawlfers in the land, that gold pay‘ments of‘the debt are required and assured by the refunding aet of 1870 itself, which mdeed mentions generally “coin” in its first section; but then in its fifth section, to ((:frry out the act, excludes silver and specially commands the Secretary of the Treasury: to receive only “gold coin as the coin of deposit and payment.” I am sure it will astonish you after hearing this passage read, to learn that the 5& section has nothing wl}atever to do with the provisions and/ sales of the new bonds. "It provides” for this and no ‘more: “that the BSecretary. of the Treasury might, f‘:f two years, receive gold on deposit—and issue gold certificates bearing a lO\zl rate of interest—and that the: deposit might be withdrawn at any time after thirty days upon fen days’ notice, and that 25 per cent. should be retained in the Treasury to pay the certificates and the residue used to redeem 5-20 bonds.— I :was criticized by this gentleman for using the words gold and eoin as synonymous in a public speech; yet to maintain his argument he asks thaf it be believed that coin and gold coin are loosely used in the same sense in different sections of gne of the most important laws. of the United States.— ‘Gold certificates were to issue only upon gold deposits—but in the second section the bonds were to sell for coin, | and in the first section they weretote redeemable in ‘coin af the present standard value.” The solemn assurance given by thap law to ths public creditor was that the bonds issued nrder it should be redeemable in gold and silver of the weight and fineness then fixed by law.| Upon this subject I have no new opinions to express.— In my letter accepting the St. Louis nomination for Vice-President I said, “Gold and silver a{e the real standard of value.” Indeed,l would rejoice if our supply of thg precious metals were sufficient for the wants of our trade and commerce. But we all know that it is insufficient; and that we must also have a paper currency, and therefore I have opposed the policy of a forced res’;umption of specie payments based upon contraction by withdrawing the treasury notes from circulation. The treasury note has been a safe currency, and the people have had confidence in'it, and have not asked for the redemption. Whalst it is a safe currenay it is also a cheap currency, in the sense that it does not represent an interest bearing obligation of the govermment. In that re-| spect, and in the respect that it is a legal-tender it is a better currency than the national bank ' note. Because of these views I have urged the repeal-not-only-of--the - resumption clause, but also of the provisions that sought to substidu,te’ ban%”'notes for outstanding’treasntry fotes. No higher duty rests upon the legislators. of this country than the prompt and final settlement of financial questions, upon a right and permanent basis. From the farm and the shop and the market place there comes the earnest appeal for final decision, that as far as may be finance may be taken from politics, so that under.a stable adjustment confidence and prosperity may return to every interest. :

Gentlemen of the convention, you will this day ingugurate a political contest of exceed(;,ng ‘great interest—you and I believe [that the result will affect the interest of the people in a high degree, botl in respect to. the public service and to individual prosperity. Will you allow me tosay that whilst we will maintain the contest with determinatign and firmness: until we ackieve success, we will do so in the spirit of kindness, courtesy and respect towards those who differ with us. You and I know that there are thousands of good citizens and sitcere men opposed to 'us, that prejudice hangs like a dark {cloud between them and the democratic party, so that they can not judge of us correctly, yet they are as sincere in their opinions as:we are. Let us set I:lefore our opponents an example worthy of imitation.— Whilst we may npt approach our opponents in respect to their political doetrines and partisan purposes, may we not, come nearer to them in personal attachment- {as fellow-citizens? Again I thank you for the honor you have done me. | : The speaker, towards the close of his remarks, extemporized fluently in favor of the repeal of the resumption law, the substitution of greenbacks for national bank currency as follows: I saw this morning that the House Committee had Igrepared a bill, to be reported to the House at once, of the greatest importance. It is a bill to provide by ample machinery the substitution of the treasury notes for the entire volume of outstanding national bank notes. | Should that bill become a law, the provisions of which seem reasonable, then there will be in operation two influences which will be felt by the busi ‘e:yinterests of this country. The silver bill is to become a’law, and then every month, if Secre-: tary Sherman will obey the commands of Congress, the silver will come over the country and through the channels of trade like the red blood through a man’s veins, giving him life and strength. Then also, under the other bill. will be the process of substituting treasury notes for outstanding bank notes.. In all the discussions I have had upon the subjett, I have sought to avoid any referencg to sectional division, and T shall regret if upon the financial questipns and interests of the country there 'shall come to be a sectional division| of sentimenft. Every sectional division is hurtful to our country; but the West has interests that it must regard, and the Western people —I speak of the Democrats and a large body 'of Republicans—ask a restoration of money—the silver money of the co,uﬂEl{y?-ahd;a:repqal,of the resumption law and a substitution of treasury- ~,,nctggﬁto: _bank ‘notes.. The West favors these measures and believes they ought to be accepted by all sections of the country without sec-»-tﬁqzttals~"gtri££~, | &hmu%wionl;& peat, of greatjimportance. | "M Hendricks' waa loudly checred as he took higseat. ~Senator Jones, of %ﬂmﬂa , one of e e B e

The Cremdtion of Mrs. Pitman, , The First Lady Cremated in':America, - i (Lﬁwréncet;ixrg Reglster)y . | On:Monday, the 11th inst., in Cin‘cinngti, Jane Pitman, wife of Mr. Ben Pitman, died. It was announced that the usual ceremonies incident to funeral occasions would be ignored in her case. Mr. Pitman, who is well known as the manager of the Cincinnati School of Design, gave notice. through the daily papers that he would - receive the friends of his wife between the hoars of 11 A. a.'and 3 P. M, on Thursday. Certain friends called, Mr. | Pitman delivered an eulogy on- his wife, others read poems, and the time was passed pretty much in the same manner as though Mrs. Pitman was alive and in good health and spirits—none, however, were permitted to ‘see her remains, for the reason, as Pitman sald, he wished them to remember her only asehelived.” . . o e ~_The community was startled with the announcement of- the fact that Mrs. Pitman had requested at her ‘death that her body should be crema‘ted, and Mr. Pitman went about to ‘make preparations to carry her wish into execution.. On-Thursaay last her remains were taken by Mr. Pitman to Washington, Penn.,and there reduced to ashes, by Dr. Francis Julius Le Moyne, the same. gentleman ' who acquired such distinction in the redue_tion to ashes of the flesh and bones of the Baron De Palm. - .. . The only persons permitted to wit-~ ness the cremation were the relatives of the doctor and Mr. Pitman, and ' strange to say nearly all of these were | ‘women. The reporters of thé press were all excluded, and what they were enabled to learn of the process and re--sult was given them by eye witnesses. It is rather strange to us who are.un‘accustomed -to such things to undergtand how Mr. Pitman, who seemed fo have been devotedly attached to his “wife, could have stood by and witnessed the horrible scenes resulting from the process of incineration, : - The following account we take from the Enquirer; - - Lt “T'ire had been applied to {he-fur-nace for twenty-four hours, when the | door was opened for the admission of Mrs. Pitman’s body. There was a pale orange glow in the retort that indicated to Mr. Blackhurst’s practiced eyve fully 2,000 degrees of heat. After be-| ing removed frem its casicet the body | .was wrapped in a large cloth, which . had been wet with a solution of alum_ in water. A beautiful wreath of flow-. ers was placed ou the breast of the remains by one of the Misses LeMoyne, and then, without a prayer, blessing, or other religious exercise, the body was lifted on to: the wirs crate, or. cradle, that was to hold it during its fiery purgation, The body had been “embalmed with arsenite of soda,which gave it a rosy look of perfect health, ‘and those who looked on the face of. the dead woman before it was covered for the last time declared its lifelike look fairly startied them.: ' All being in readiness, the crate containing the body was lifted up and thrustintothe _open retort head fifst.. ». ' it

“As the head nearéd the mouth'of the fiery retort the heat emanating from ‘it set fire to the“hair of the corpse, and singed the flesh so badly that though it was thrust into the melting bolts with ‘all ‘speed it was impossible to prevent.the escape of a disagreeable smell, and of a considerable quantity of smoke. The door of the retort was quickly. screwed on, however, and the windows of the room lowered from the top, and the odor soon passed off. Just here it may be proper to state that, prior to putting the remains into the retort, Mr. Pitman was urged to take a final look at them, but he declined, saying that he wished to remember her as she was when in life. ﬁ"or the first fifteen minutes after thie. bedy was put intothe retort ilt smoeked considerably, — ‘This was caused by the combustion of’ the cashmere robe in which the remains were enshrouded, and of the flesh and tissues. These were quickly consumed, and then the spectators were treated to a sight of a skeleton of fire, encircled by a mass of flame of kaleidoscopic colors; “Fiercer grew the temperature of the retort, and fiercer flamed the gases from the burning body. It was a sight once seen never to be forgotton. Soon all the carboniferous portions of the lady’s frame were destroyed, and presently her ribs crumbled in, and with them fell the'alum-treated cloth, which until this time had retained its shape, though nothing but a film of ashes. Other bones crumbled and fell through the crate, until the pelvis were the only bones remaining in proper positions. B ) Sop LRt

“Dr. Le Moyne took notes of the progress of the destruction of the body, and Mr. Pitman frequently looked into the peep-hole of the retort to see how the fire was doing its work. All present expressed theie warm approval of the process, and none more heartily than the husband of the deceased. ‘ln one hour and fifty-ong minutes after the body had been placed in the retort all the bones had fallen through the crate, and but a small tongue of flame Wwas visible, issued from a portion of the vertebree. In other words, the actual cremation began at two minutes to two o’elock, at precisely forty-nine minutes after three ‘o’clock the attendats began -to: -wall up the door of the furnage preparatory to letting the retort cool down.” ; : e >

Washington’s Civil Service. When Washington was called to the Presidency in 1789 there were no.regularly organized parties, and there was no room for patronage in a partisan sense, and nothing could exceed the. justice of the rules by which he was guided. Called to the executive chair even against his wishes, he said he would go to it under no pre-engage-‘ment of any kind or nature whatever, but would hold himself absolately at liberty to act while in office with sole reference to justice an the public ‘good. So much depended on wisdom ‘and Impartiality -1n this matter that, in case of imjudicious or unpopular measures with regard to appointments, the Government itself would be in the' utmost danger 4% being: utterly subverted: “My political conduct,” he said, “in making nominations' must be exceedingly ecircumspect.” ;Again: “I do not intend to be swayed in the disposal of places by -motives arising: from the ties of friendship and blood,” : Al this time it is not supposed there was nobody to present his “claims.” = Even before “his-first inauguration Washington was greatly annoyed by applications for -appointments, and invariably repre‘sented to such persons the delicacy of ‘.hisv situation, and the impropriety of bringing such matters before him. He ‘app_rehended what afterward proved ’ true:” that there would be a hun%%e_d competitors for every office of any im- ‘ portance; but for a long time he would give no decisive answer to the appli- '- cation of any candidates whatever, and would only nominate such persons as in his judgment were best qualified to discharge the duties ofihe departments to which they were appointed. - As between an intimate friend and a determined opponent, he gave a lucrafive office, which both had.applied for, to the latter, with the following explanation: “My friend I receive - with cordial welceme. He is welcome to my house, and weleome to my heart; but with all his good qualiticg he is not a man of business. His opponent with all his politics so hostile to me is a man of business.
