WEEKLY EXPRESS

Wednesday Morning, Feb. 24tli, 1869.

Among the wise and just acta of the Fortieth Congress is the passage of the bill providing for the payment of the prize money due to the officers and men of Fakbagut's fleet, who opened the Mis--V liseippi River and captured N ew-Orloana.

The settlement of these claims has been long delayed becauso of some legal difficulties, but their justice has never been disputed, and their prompt payment now is a matter of simple duty on the part of the Government.

ALMOST every step in engineering and

step

mechanical progress has been marked by some substitution of iron for wood, or some new combination of iron. But one of our most enterprising Eastern railroads has reversed the old order of things, and has gone back to bring up improvements in wood. The iron wheel on an experimental car has been thrown aside and a wooden one substituted. The cost of ihe new wheel is three times that of the common cast-metal one, but its durability is estimated to be eight times as great that is, it will run a distance of four hundred thousand miles, while the metal wheel will only run fifty thousand. Fabulous as this may seem, when we consider the elasticity and toughness of certain kinds of wood, there is no reason' why when used as car wheels they should not preserve their texture longer than iron, if the wearing surface be properly protected.—

If the experiment prove a success it will afford a singular illustration of the leaps Science sometimes takes without having considered well where she would land. =====

The Registry Law.

The bill of which we have heretofore spoken, amending or changing the R«g' istry Law, has passed the mse and is pending in the Senate, where it will be likely to receive a pretty thorough over hauling. As our readers are interested every movement affecting the elective franchise, we give brief synopsis of the bill as it passed the House, showing the provisions of the present Registry Law w£ich the Committee have retained, those which they havo abolished, and those which have been added.

The first section, which provides that a person, to acquire a residence in a township, must reside at least twenty days in t4»e township, city or ward wberebe shall offer to vote, has been retained.

The sections from two to seventeen, inclusive, are repealed. The eighteenth section, which contains the very important provision that "alter •the opening of the polls, at any election in this State, no adjournment shall bo had, nor any recess taken, until all the votes cast at such election Ehall have been counted and the result publicly announced," is retained.

Sections nineteen, twenty, twenty-one, and twenty-two are repealed. The twenty-third section, which provides that all ballots shall be written or printed on plain white paper without any distinguishing gaark or em banishment thereon, except the names of the candidates and the offices voted for retained, with the new provision which we mentioned some days ago, that the inspector shall place upon each ballot voted the number that corresponds with the number of the voter casting the same, as recorded upon the registry list.

Another section provides that osch election board, including two clerks shall be equally divided between the two parties casting the greatest number*of votes, and that the board shall be ap* pointed by the Township Trustees

Violations of the law are made a felony puiflshable by imprisonment for not less than one nor more than three years

It will be noticed that the bill repeals the registration of voters, and except in the particulars named, elections will regulated by the old election laws.

Thb Cincinnati Chronicle is in possession of information of such an authentic and roliable character, as to lead tbo editor to believe that the Cabinet slate as already made up, has the name of Hon Wm. Dennison on it as Postmastor General. The Chronicle alludes to the well known fact that vory friendly relations Jiave always existed between the Presi dent elect and Ex Gov. Dsnnisow, nnd very properly construes the selection of -tbe Ex-Governor for this important position into a notice to the country, from the

President-elect, that economy in tbe management of public affairs, is tobi the rule in the new Administration. It will be remembered th*t under Dennibon, the Post' ffice Department paid its way nnd saved something to the Treasury beside. Under his successor theio has been a large deficit, and open cburees m»de of gros? frauds in contracts. We trust all this to be changed and believe Mr. DenniS'H has the will and the ability to do it. He bad taken deep interest in this department of the public servirn, but this

son

seemed determined to bring upon it but rather than sacrifice his principles he resigned his office. His reappointment now will be a handsome vindication.

Mr. DknmsoN has always held an honorable place in tbe Republican party. His appointment will receive the beart\ approtmtion of his party friendi in Iudiana and throughout the •ountry.

"The great event of tbe age," the opening of the Pacific Railroad, will be celebrated about June next with a grand excursion from Omaha to San Francisco,and perhaps a trip to the Sandwich Islands. Forty-five new and elegant coaches are being built by the Union Pacific Rsilroad Company expressly for this occa•ion. There will be about one thousand invited guests, including many national notabilities. As the Pacific Railroad is the greatest achievement of modern times, so it is intended to make this inaugural excursion the greatest ever made. San Francisco will welcome the arrival of the excursionists with joyous cannon, bonfires and illuminations, and "copious, gushing tears." In addition to all this, ^e Cincinnati Times understands they are preparing an earthquake for the especial gratification of their Eastern friends who never experienced one. By this process they could do hand-shaking by the wholesale. Tidal wave wouldn't be a bad thing with which to wash the travel-stained excursionists on their arrival-

"divinity that shapes oar

ends," intei.ds to keep this government from spec-iiy and irremediable ruin, it will be preserved, as fwe as possible, from the influence of New York and Pennsylvania politicians. In this connection it is painfully suggestive to notice that the first New York applicant for appointment undor Gen. Gkaht is a gentleman who has by legtl trickery obtained, during the last fifteen years, tbe liberation of more burglars, pickpockets, and other tbieve?, than any other half dczen lawyers in the g-eat citj*.

During tbe Iweive months ending Oct 1868, the official records show that 78,451 known crimes, of greater or less mag. nitude, were committed in New York city. Of these crimes 78 were murder, 7,721 assaults against tbe person, and the remainder thefts and robberies of various kinds. By the end of 1868 the number of known crimes exceeded 101,000—a much larger number„tban any previous year can show. And yot that city pays about $9 000 per day to maintain order and protect life and property. ?.

Thb political canvass in New Ha up shire for the State election, which comes off in fifteen days, is of the dullest possl ble kind. Tbe entire list of State officers with three members of Congress, are to ba elected, and the Republican candt dates bxveltll taken position on a field which they knoff will be easily won. For Governor, the Democrats have nominated a Union soldier (Gen. Bkdel) who served energetically through the war, and the publicans have nominated wealthy and prominent railroad man (Mr. Steabn*.) Itseema to be hard for the parties to get up an issue over whieh ihey can have an active fight. And the old Granite State, onoe famous for its political contests, will continue in strong livputlican line, while tbe demoralized Democracy go through the form of voting for their candidates. -vi

Blaine's amendment to the army bill, adopted by the House, provides that no new commission shall beissued in any regiment until the military force is reduced to twenty regiment3 of infantry, five of cavalry and five of artillery. It provides that regiments shall be consolidated as rapidly ao possible until tbe minimum is reached and it further provides that there shall be

new appoint

ments and no promotions in tbe Adjutant Goneral's Department, in the Pay Department, in the Quartermaster's Department, in the Ordnance Department, or in the Medical Department. These measures will, before the end of the year, insure a can aid arable reduction in our military expenditure, but will not insure such a reduction as tbe people have reason to demand, and have a right to expect.

Affrays, Accidents, Homicides.

A man named William W. Boulden, from Berlin, Ind-, committed suicide the other day at Humboldt, Kansas, by shooting himself.

A young man named Charles Lott was killed a few days since by Elijah Martin in an affray at Ottawa, Illinois.

Recently, a Mrs. Eoach, of Galveston Texas, was shot while sitting in her own houeo. Subsequently suspicion attached to a young man who wished to marry her daughter against the mother's consent, and a piece of paper found near the murdered woaian corresponded with a piece found in the possession of the young man. He was tnl.en out by the citizens and hanged-

Putnam Stevens was killed a few days ago at Beaver Dim, Missouri, and a Mr Butterfield has been arrested on suspicion of being tbe assassin. There was an insurance on Stevens' life.

Terse ilauto Letter.

Corrcfpoadorce Cincinnati Commercial.] Tkrrk Haute, Feb., 18, 1869 In looking over your Indianapolis correspondence in yesterday's issue, contri bated by the excellent and veracious JakG', (whoso prophetic soul,you will re collect, clothed the late Will Cumback with tho Senatorial toga before bis time, and who gave tbe world assurance that the little matter then before the Indiana Legislature

all settled to the satisfac

rion of W. C.,) I see that the aforesaid Jakqo bus turned bis attention to those soulloss corporations yclept railroads, generally, and to the Terre Haute and Indianapolis Railroad in particular.

Ii appears that a member of tbe Legii Inture lioni thu bucolic region of Putnam County—Osborne by nam»—bas resolved to assail ibis homdi^n monstrum, which his so successfully resisted tbe attacks of former legislative committees, (and would here suggest toJargo the simile of David and G.li»th for his next, especial ly as we are told that the giant bled, si profusrly,) nd in furtherance of his object h-ta br ugut fortn a curious collection of slut tic*, seme of which are reproduced ty tho adm r.ng and approving Jargo.

Jargo says—quoting Osborne, it probable—ttint tbe Terre Hauto and liidiunapolis Railroad, seventy-three da 1 le- in K-ngth, und first class in all its app intmenu, cost $632,327.

Why, bless your honest and unsophii iL-nteil suul, Jargo, it would net pay for tbo iron in the track and sidings, to say nothing if cost of survey, grading, bridg ing ties, ballast, station,buildings, enginebouses and machine shops, engines, cars, and all the etcetera* which go to make up first class road. If this is the kind of l,.gic which the opponents of this thrifty and well managed corporation use, there ft-ar that they will suozeed in their designs upon its-strong-box. 1 would udvise Jargo to confine his invusiigations to fat cattle, female giants, ingur-pop and peanut conventions got up lor me benefit of tho Indianapalitans, and not to retail tbe crude ideas of the Tural Soloi.s who congregate in that delightful village. "He tutor ultra crepidttm" is a very good maxim for even knight of tbe rsai ffi

lie KlghtU District.

It will bo gratifying to the many friends of the Hon. James N. Tyner to know that he was elected to Congress from ihe Eighth Congressional District at the special election .on Saturday last, tv a greater majority thpn that given the Hon. D. D. Pratt, in October last.

Tbo Democracy, true to their natural instincts, made an effort to got up a_ division in the ranks of tbe Rupublican party by pretending to support the Hon. Horace P. Bitidle, of Logansport, as an independent candidate, but at the same time were circulating tickets with the name of S. A Hall upon them. Judge Biddle had no sympathy with, tbe movemeet to defeat Mr. Tyner,— Ind. Journal. 7

Frank Chapman were arrested on charge of committing the deed, tbe opm ion being general that they murdered him in revenge for killing their brother. Collins was a married mao, abotil thirty years old, and leaves a wife and several children. There is considerable excitement in this vicinity, and threats are made of arresting the entire Chapman family.

Louisville, New Albany end Chicago Railroad. By virtue of a decree in favor of D.Wlt 1IAM80N! granted by tbe White county Common Pleas Court, the sheriff of White county will sell to the highest bidder, by auction on the 8th day of April next, at Monticello, White county, the track, rolling stock, macbioe and repair shops, and all the rights and franchises of the Louis ville, New Albany and Chicago Railroad Company, from New Albany to Michigan City. The New Albany (hmmercwl^ in noticing the above, says:

We have the best authority for saying that tbe road will be purchased by tbe bondholders who number several of tbe wealthiest men of tbe city of New York The road is now, in its tracks and rolling slock, in better condition than ever before The purchasers will further im prove it, ana will operate it as a first class road. We have authority for saying that the management of the road, after, its sale, will be such as to give the most entire satisfaction to the people along the line of the road. It will be the aim of tbe purchasers to popularize the road and operate it with energy, believing that,by such a course its business will be doubled in a short time. A letter received by us from a gentleman in New York City, who is a large holder of the bonds of the road, says: «"We appreciate the importance of building the proposed rail road trom Bedford, via Bloomfield, Terre Haute. Besides tapping a mineral region of untold wealth, it would prove a most valuable feeder to the Southern ond of the Louisville, New Albany and Chicago road. I do not think tbe people of New Albany could engage in an enterprise promising more substantial benefits to their city. I am quite confident that, should the Louisville, New Albany ancl Chicago road fall into the hands of those now contemplsiting its purchase, this road from Bedford to Terre Haute would receive from them such assistance as would assure its speedy construction."

Subsequently over one thousand Catholics held a meeting and were addressed by influential Catholics. It was unanimously resolved to stand by Father O'Flaherty, condemned the Bishop's action and expressed a determination not to submit to one man power any longer in the United Stales, but appeal to ecclesiastical authorities, and if necessary' to tbe Pope.- Also resolved not to allow the new appointee to occupy the parsonBge.

FROM the Indianapolis papers we learn the details of a fatal accident which occured in that city last Saturday: A man named James McMahon, a laborer on the Junction Railway, while working in the switch yard, was called on to assist in turning an engine, which was standing on tbe turn-table. In attempting to do this it was found that a block of wood which had fallen under one of the wheels of the table, prevented its turning, and McMahon climbed down to remove it. While doing this, the table suddenly gave way beneath the weight of the heavy locomotive, which, tipping over as it fell came down upon McMahon, crushing him into a shapeless mass. The engineer and fireman, who were assisting in turning the table were uninjured. The remains were removed as soon as possible, and a Coroner's jury returned a verdict in accordance with the facts. The table bad been in use some time, and was con- sidered perfectly safe. ———

To Bnjen of Watches Everywhere

The great at part of th J) welera of tho Voited States keep Waltbam Watches, ant coidiaily r-ccmmenl them to their enstomers, ro.witli standing the fact 'hst lest profit is malo on'thete watches than on anr others generally sold by the Trade- Tl^ereason of this is, that tbe reputation of tbe Walthaoi Wat oh renders it sn easy sale, and Iheresult is, that, elthougb^ th? dealer does not make as much mone? on each inditidual watch aahe may on iheeate of other watches, he is still the gainer through larger and livelier sales. There are sozie, however,' among he Trsd who do not give tbe Walthsm Watch that hearty support whfch it dosi rveo. This portion or the Tiadafincy there Is mo:e money to be made by dealing in watches about which tbe fublio- are ignorant, an 1 In which there is leas competition, and are eontent to mate an occailonal sale of sn:hwa'.ches at a large profit. It Is this oisss of dea'ers who, when ashed about Waltbam Watch s, use tlat klnl of langauge which leads tbe customer finally to bny jist mch a watch as is the most profitable for the dealer to aell.

For the information of persons about to buy a watch, and who may be aofsvorably afTeoted by tbe representations cf thos* unfriendly to onr watches, *c eall attention to the following snggestions:

Bines the mansfscture of walchei was initiated atWaltham, 1 ha Company have jnade and sold abjut

watcher. In every town and

vlllsge of the country some aearer of a Waltham Watch maybe found, Let the party abont to buy ask this owner of an American Watch this queation:

HAS YOUR WATCH.61VE& TOD SATISFACTION? We are not afraid to advise tboio wishing to buy a watch to guide themselvej by the aaswer. Being sttlsfied as to the quality of the.watch,.the buyer has now only to satisfy himsalf that The Wal'hkmWatches are TUB CHEAPEST as'weil thebsst. On ih's bead we have a few wordf to say:

It is a well-knowa fact in.manufacturing, tha tbe greater tha natnber of articles msnuraotarcd by oae establishment, the smaller will be the cost or each individual article. Keeping tbis in view, our policy hss always been to sell our product] at the lowest p.s.ible pr:cs in order to secure large sslea, and thus enable us to manufacture watches at a minimum cost. WS BELIEVE IN SMALL PBOFITS. AND A LAB53 BUSINESS, This policy we have successfully carried oat, and the result is, that tc-day ws manufec tore twice as many watches as all the other factoilee in tha United Stites pat tcgetber. We can, therefore, aflord to Sell cheaper than thejr can. and actually do aell Twenfjr-flve per cent. heaper than tbey do, qaalily fur qaallty.

We woald turth remark that ia Increasing^ our productio-jf, we avs ounstantly improved i:e QOALIIY ANo IT, VABIBTT. We bare had therefuaal'ot nearly all inventions inteudel to imi rove tlmtelects,and have adopted nil those,, and these only, which hare prove to be really Tiluabio. We hive retuiuel in our employment -ev« ry bead of every department we have ever had, whjse rric were of aty i-»do-lance to tho Company, a^d our resent coips of designers and master aecbanlcs a inot be equaled in this or any other conutiy. In a di ion to this wn make gold and silver rates, not inly for onr own move' mints, but for those if -other factor! s, rurs be lug the only estab:ishmeiit tbat turus out watches complate in every respect.

As th.se Watch.s re fo fa'e by the Trade generally throughout the Cutted State*, and at a retail£profit 'fciede mo reassnab'e by competi tion, the Company invar.abl decliue orders of a retail character. BOBBINS & APPLE TOY, Oen'l Agents.

SIHKNCK'S PULMONIC STB UP, Seaweed Tjnic aud Mandrake Fills will aare Conspmption, Liver Complstnt and Dyspepsia, if taken according to tha directions. Tbe]r are all three to'be taken at fhe Sime time. Tbey cleanso the stomach, relax the liver, and put it to wortr then tbe appetite becomes good the food digests and makes good blood the patient bepins to grow in flesh tho diseased matter ripens in the lungs, and tbe patient outgrows the disease and gets well. This Is the only way to cure Con-i sumption. f-

To theii'thfee midieities Dr. J. H. Sthenck, Philadelphia, owes his unrivalled success in the treatment of Pulmonary Consumption. Tha Pulmonic Syrup ripens the morbid matter ia the lungs, nature throws it off by an easy ezpectoatloi, for when tbe phlegm or matter is ripe a slight .ugh will throw It off, and the patient has rest, aid the lungs begin to heal.

To do this, tbe Seaweed Tonio and Mandrake Pills must bo freely used to cleanse the etomach and liver, so that the Pulmonic Syrup end the food will make good blood.

Schenck** Mankrake Pills set upon the liver, removing all obstructions, relax the ducts ef tbe gall bladder, the bile starts fteely and the Oliver is soon relieved the stools will shew what the Pills can do noihiug has aver been Invented ex cept oalomel (a deadly polion which la very dangerous to use unlets with great care) that will unlock the gall bladder and start the aeeretioaa af tha liter like Settenck'a Mandrake Fills.

Lifer Complaint is one of the most prominent oaueas of Consumption. Scbenck's Seaweed Tonio Is a gentle itlmnlant ana .alterative, and tbe alkali In the Seaweed, which ttis preparation is made of, assists the omach to throw oat the gastric Juice to dlsaalee tbe food with ttie Pulmonx Syrup, and it ie aai* iuto good blood without fermentation or souriag in the stomach.

Tbe great reason why physicians do not cure Consumption is, they try to do too much th give medicine to atop the. coughs, to slip ah chills,to atcrp night' sweats, hectic frver, and by ee dolng'they derange the WAole diaeetlve peirers, 'ocfciug up the secretions, and eventually the patient etnka aud dies.

Dr. chVnck, in hia treatment, docs not' try to stop a caugb, night sweats, chilis or fever. Bemore the .aanse, aod they will all atop of their own aocord. No one can be cured of Coaramp* tioa.
