Bes*tajr sf the Murderer, Lee. William Lee has paid the penalty of his terrible crime, and thus has gone upon record another warning to young men to beware ofthe intoxication produced by alco hol and bad women. In November last, Lee, was then proprietor ,of a "gunboat" loea« teden thcIlUnoU shore of the, Mississippi, opposite Burlington. He became enraged at a girl named Jessie McCarthy, and jumped uponher head with heavy boots until litewas extinct, and the poor, misguided girl was disfigured past recognition. He then put her body ina coffin weighted with stones, and sank it in the river. Last week lie washang ed, and the punishment, so'soon after the blood-curdling dance of death, brought to the scene a crowd ot people numbered by thousands. Theconfession ofthecondemned man will soon be publishedby his brothers. California Hopeful. The San Francisco Chronicle says the industries ofthe slope have entirely re covered from/ tne depressing influences brought to bear by the bank failures bus iness in all branches have never been so uni versally good, and interest is lower and money plentier than it has been for many years. It attributes these results in a great measure to the most successful season, and the richest harvest California has ever seen, and adds: "For a time it was fearedthat the supply ofwheat would be so great as to de press the price to a ruinousfigure,but it is now becoming more and more apparent that farmers will receive a iwr, ilaot liberal price S A Elections in Belgium. A Brussels dispatch says the result of,the elections is that the Catholics' major ilf toil* chamber of deputies will be twelve, instead of fourteen, as it was in the last oliam ler. Many of the electoral contests were ex ceedingly close. Great excitement prevails to-night in all directions. The streets ot this city are filled with an enormous crowd of people, hissing and hooting in front of the Catholic institutions, which are protected by bodies ot civic guards, and some arrests have been made at Ohent. A mob is making a monster demonstration before the Catholic church, and have broken the windows of the building." What Iowa has Done for Railroads. The railroads of Iowa have received 5,963,306 acres of land, nearly one-seventh of the area of the State. Estimating the land at 96.60 peracre—a low valuation—it is shown that the roads have received as direct gifts, over •68,000,000. Allowing the roads to cost 116,000 a mile, which is a fair estimate, they have received 910,734,343 more than the roads cost. Moris this all the Des Moines Valley road asks for, and will possibly re ceive thousands of acres in the northern part ofthe State where no road has been built. More Crooked Stills. ,. .Colonel Meyer, supervisor of inter nal revenue, has returned from his raid on the illicit distillers in Cape Girardeau and Bollinger counties. He has broken up about twenty stills, destroyed a large amount of property, and arrested and placed under bonds sixteen persons charged with making crooked whisky. Some fifty stills have been running in the above named counties for about twelve years past, and allowing them only three months in the year, the govern ment has been defrauded from 916,000 to 990,000 per annum. Business Prospects. The New York Stockholder, an or gan of capitalists, quotes President Bryson, of the PhomixBank of that city, as naming five years as the term of fair recovery from the evils which culminated in the panic ot 1873 upon which estimate dull times will continue until the autumn of 1878. Mr. Hale, the largest manufacturer of pianos in the world, thinks next year—1877—will begin to show a revival of business. The Stockholder says "these are the judgments of men whose opin ions an valuable—.one a tradesman, the other a banker, both ot wide experience and sa gacity." Dlssstrons Fire at Hi,-Johns. A disastrous fire occurred at St. Johns, Quebec, on the 19th, by which91,600, 000 worth of property was destroyed. A ter ritory six hundsed feet wide and a mile in length, embracing the entire business portion ot the town, was burned. Seven hotels, nine churches, the custom house, court house, post office, United States consulate, two banks, the docks, vessels in the river, a portion of the bridge overthe Richelieu river, the St. Johns woolen mills, the stone china ware rooms and two hundred and fifty stores and houses are reduced to ashes.

The House passed the bill detailing thirty army officers as professors ot military schools. It was decided'that no further bus iness should be transacted until the 16th. In the Senate, on the 16th, the time for a continuance of the Belknap trial having arrived, Judge Black read a lengthy paper declining to plead further as Belknap had al ready been practically acquitted the order of the Senate asserting its jurisdiction was not passed by a two-thirds vote. Pending the discussion it was discovered that a quo rum was net present, and the 8enate ad journed. No quorum being present in the House, no session wss held. On the 17th the Senate was about to take up the Indian appropriation bill, but no quorum being present an adjournment was had until Monday. The Speaker laid before the House a message from the President urging the necea ity of an early passage ot the appropriation bills, and accompanying the message was a resolution which waaintended asa suggestion for a provision for continuing the work of the departments until the bills should pass referred. It was then ascertained that no quorum was present, and the House ad journed. The Senate insists on its amend ments to the post office appropriation bill, and on the 19th agreed to a conference com mittee asked tor by the House. No other legislative business waa done, but the Bel knap case wss taken up. The Senate, as a court of impeachment, then voted against postponing the case until November, and agreed to proceed with the hearing, without unnecessary delay. The House appointed Mr. Cox speaker pro tern., in the absence ot Mr. Kerr, and then passed the military appropriation bill without debate. A committee of con ference on the post office appropriation bill was then appointed and the House adjourned. FOB PRESIDENT After prayer by Rev. Dr. Miller, of Covington, Ky., Gov. Morgan address ed the convention at some length, sug gesting the adoption of a resolution favoring one Presidential term of six years, and calling upon the convention to emphatically demand the prompt and efficient execution of the specie resumption act, and to oppose any modification or repeal of the law which does not guarantee a still earlier re turn of specie payments. TEMPORARY CHAIBXAV. Hon. Theodore M. Pomeroy, of New York, was chosen temporary chairman, and being introduced to the convention said he had been so long withdrawn fromactive participa tion in political affairs that it was only in obedience toa general custom, that he should occupy even a moment of time in a consider ation ofthe political situation. Men as well as measures are to be weighed in the balance during the coming months, and neither must be found wanting to insure success. The Re publican party cannot continue to live by reason or its splendid achievements in the past, nor the Democratic party expect to be returned to poweruponits glittering promises of reform in the future. The former has got to present men repre sentative of its principles, the latter party must discover both its principles and men. Referring to the present congress he said the present house has succeeded in nothing ex cept a development of its own incapability. But the Republican party, from its inception down to the present time, has accepted each new responsibility and kept pace with the progress of the times dealing with emancipa tion, taxation and reconstruction, until the greatest pages of American history are butthe fe story of the Republican party. At the conclusion of the chairman's re marks, Gen. B. W. Hincks, of Miohigan, was ohosen sergeant-at-arms of the convention. The chairman announced the following COXMITTKX 05 KBSOMTTIOKS.

Mr. Sampson, the North Adams shoe manufacturer, who employes Chinese workmen, has decided to discharge them, or rather not to re-engage them, preferring to give employment toother residents of the town, who are suffer ing severely from the stopage of sev eral mills and workshops. Mr. Samp son has hired Chinese shoemakers for six years. In 1870 having suffered much from the strikes of the Crispins, and being unwilling to comply with their Hemands, he sent his agent Mr. Chase, to San Francisco for Chinamen, mainly for the purpose of breaking up the order, between which and himself a bitter warfare was waging. The first importation consisted of seventy five men or boys for most of them were between the ages of 16 and 20 years. Since that time several lots have come and returned, the number employed in the factory for the last six years ranging from 75 upwards of 100* The present number is about' 85 of whom forty, the latest arrivals, were imported last year. Some of the first importation remained four years, and then returned to China, and have since come back to this country and are now working at Bellville, N. J. The Chinaman here all work by the$77 month, on contracts for three years or longer. The price paid them has never been made known to the public, though they are supposed to receive from $20 to $25 a month. Over forty of them are at liberty to go at any time, the term for which they were hired having expired. They are in no hurry to return, and would undoubted ly be glad to renew their contracts, but the opportunity to do so will prob ably not be given them. A FULL CENTEXARIAN. La Crosse Democrat. The old Winnebago chief, Xee-ha-ga, made his appearance in this city yes terday, having arrived in safety from Fred Moore's Nebraska reservation. His son "Jo," who lias "civilized" and cultivates a farm up in Jackson coun ty, went out there this spring and paid the passage of his father home, while he is coming in a canoe. Nee-ha-ga is probably the oldest living human be ing in Wisconsin, and is from 106 to 120 yeais old. He was a very old man when La Crosse was first settled, over thirty years ago. and is still hale and hearty, and preserves his taste for fire water with remarkable freshness. He still bears with him his badge—a skunk skin tobacco pouch, and will probably be here during the next quarter of a century. For Freckles.—Dissolve a little borax and sugar in some lemon juice and apply to the face, then wash in castile soap. The quantity of borax should be that which will cover the point of a pen-knife to the juice of one lemon. **A Drop of Joy In Everj Word." Flemington, Hunterdon Co., N. J., June 26 1874.—Dr. R. V. Pierce. Buflalo, N. Y.: Dear heart that I Sir—It is with a happy lines to acknowledge that you and your Golden Medical Discovery andPurgative Pel lets are blessings to the World. These med icines cannot be too highly praised, for they have almost brought me out of the grave. Three months ago I was broken out with large ulcers and sores onmy body, limbs and face. I procured your Golden Medical Dis covery andPargative Pellets, and have taken six bottles, and to-day I am in good health, all those ugly ulcers have healed and left my skin in a natural, healthy condition. I thought at one time I could not be cured Although I can but poorly express my grat itude to you, yet there is a drop of joy in every word 1 write. God's blessing rest on £ou and your wcnderlul medicines is the umble prayer ot Yours truly. Dr. Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, Sea Weed Tonic,' and Mandrake Pills.—These medicines .haveundoubtedly performed more cures of consumption than any other remedy known to the American public. They are com-SIMPLE, pounoffd of vegetable ingredients, and con tain nothing which can be injurious to the human constitution. Other remedies adver tised as cures tor Consumption, probably contain opium, which is a somewhat danger ous drag in all cases, and if taken freely by consumptive patients, itmust do greatinjury for its tendency is to confine the morbid mat ter in the system, which, ot course, must make a cure impossible. Schenck's Pul monic Syrup is warranted not to contain a particle of opium: Itis composed of power nil but harmless herbs, which act on the lungs, liver, stomach, and blood, and thus correct all morbid secretrbne, and expel all the diseased matter from the body. These are the only means by which Consumption can be cured, and as Schenck's Pulmonic pbortera Syrup, SeaWeed tonic, and Mandrake Pills are the only medicines which operate in this way, it is obvious they aretiieonly genuine cure forPulmonary Consumption.

When a medicine will promptly cure such terrible eating ulcers ana free the blood of the virulent poison causing them, who can longer doubt its wonderlul virtues? Dr. Pierce, however, does not wish to place his Golden Medical Discovery in the catalogue of quack patent nostrums by recommending it to cure every disease, nor does he so recom mend it: but what he does claim ig this, that there is but one form of blood disease that it will not cure, and that disease is cancer. He does not recommend his Discovery for that disease, yet he knows it to be the most searching blood cleanser yet discovered, and that it will free the blood and system of all other known blood poisons, be they animal, vegetable or mineral. The Golden"Discovery is warranted by him to cure the worst forms of Skin Diseases, as all forms of Blotches, Simples and Eruptions, also all Glandular Pwellings, and the worst form of Scrofulous and Ulcerated Sores of Neck. Legs or other parts, and all Scrofulous Diseases ofthe Bones, ss White Swellings, Fever Sores, Hip Joint and Spinal Diseases, all of which be long to Scrofulous diseases. aentafLZiT!7«^lSSr 1«»H»I» for Lsdlcs' shoes %9MU JCJ SATISFACTION GUARANTEED HS&Sv ",8JU&r..X?
