Ex-Governor Brown, vice president of the Texas Pacific Railroad, concluded his argu ment to day before the Senate Pacific Railroad committee. Chandler has written another letter under the caption of "Was Governor Hayes a Bargainer V The letter pro ceeds : "Unquestionably he was. Much coquetting with Southern Democrats was done by him during the winter. Messrs Foster, Matthews and others kept him fully advised of what they were doing. Senator Sherman went to Columbus reluctant to trade off Pack ard, and returned Secretary Sherman, and joined in the trade; Mr Hayes knew perfectly well that the price he was to pay for the Presidency was the betrayal of Packard and Chamberlain, and the sacrifice of his own honor, but the fear of the loss of the Presidency with its $200,000 in money and its pat ronage was too much for him, and he deliberately paid the price. It would be cowardly to affect to think other wise. If the subject is ever investigat ed by; competent authority,., it will doubtless be found out that he con firmed in some way the assurances given by his friends before Mr Levy proclaimed in the House that all was right, and Mr Ellis told Mr Hewitt that the count could prooeed, and changed his vote and opposed fillibus tering. At all events it is enough to convict him that his first act on arriv ing in Washington was to procure- 6r advise an order from General Sherman withdrawing the federal support from Packard and inviting the White Leag- era to crush him." The silver bill cannot reach the President until Monday, when he may consider it ten days. The agricultural congress adopted the following : "Resolved That it is the sense of the national agricultural congress that the government ought to control inter state commerce, and that Congress be asked to take some action in regard to it." at Islington, to consider the Eastern question was abandoned ' from fear of disturbances. Anyhow, Mr Gladstone did not refuse to speak. .. The ! PaU Mall Gazette states that the manager of Agricultural Hall demanded indem nity against damage which the pro moters of the meeting refused. , ibe Times in its financial' article says : "The most important business m the foreign stock market Thursday. was the selling of United States bonds by the public. It is not so much that the Selling has been of a large amount as that it has been selling by actual hold ers and upon a market where there are few buyers. There is danger, there fore, lest alarm -Tuay be generated by the fall thus caused . and bonds get pressed on dealers faster . than they care to have them. "Holders almost always become more disposed to sell as prices go dowtS and yery little pres- sure'would cause a sharp faH. There Js no cause ior alarm ana any rush to sell is much td b6 deprecated.' ' moot fetersDurg correspondent ot the Times telesrants : . "The state of feeling: here, cbn&qence of recent events, especially the speech ot Prince Bismarck, is fairly represented by the following passage from an article in the Bedomosti; 'Ingratitude is the ordin ary result of the self-sacrificing activity oi isussia. we so accustomed to it that it no longer astonishes us. No sooner is the war finished than we meet on all sides intrigues and hostili ty, not only from powerful neighbors who can support their words by force, but even from powerless little States like Roumania and Greece.' " The Daily Telegraph's Vienna corres pondent attaches much importance to the statement that Emperor William has telegraphed to the Czar reminding him of his promise td fulfill certain duties towards Austria. The corres pondent, however, fears the Czar has lost all control over the war party. The Sclave committees, he says, have m ore influence now than the Cj$ar, and his official advisers. The Times' Vienna disoatch savs : AFre8h difficulties seem to have arisen about settling the preliminaries of the conference. Two days ago it was an nounced that the French government, though making no objection in prin ciple to a congress instead of a confer ence, expressed some apprehension lest such a general meeting without any distinct limitations might lead to the discussion of other questions than the Eastern question." foT Jtetersbubg, Feb 22. It lsomcial- ly announced that the Turks com menced the evacuation of Erzeroum on the 17th inst. The Gabs states that the Russians under General Todleben entered Rust chuck on the 20th inst. London, Feb 22. The Times' Berlin dispatch says Prince Bismarck's speech is disliked in south Uermany where the popular wish is to support Austria. Assurances counteracting the unfavor able effect of the speech and calculated to persuade the public that Germany will not oppose Austria in any war, are circulated in more quarters than one The Mexican Vets in Council. Baltimore, Feb 22. The annual meeting of the national association of Mexican veterans commenced to-day. Col Joseph H Ruddach, president of the Maryland association, arid a num ber of members, met . at the assembly rooms and received, the delegates who had arrived in the city. After this ceremony the Maryland association, in a body, marched to uamden station to receive and welcome the delegation from Washingcon, which numbers two hundred. Washington litems Washington Correspondence of the mond Dispatch, 20Uj. Rich- The Senate this morning, on motion of Mr Morrill, of Vermont, restored the franking privilege to members of Congress by a vote of 32 to 21. Messrs Johnston,! Withers,1 Conkling, LamarT Edmunds and Ransom ; were" among the ayes, and Messrs Bayard, Davis of Illinois, voorhes and Merrimon among muse vuuug iu me negative. . j.ne House will hardly agree with the Sen ate, because an election is too near at. hand for unpopular experiments. The House bill for the restoration of those dropped from the pension list for aid and sympathy to the rebellion is a special order, but as it is not as liberal in its provisions as that passed by the Senate yesterday it is believed by Sena tors that motion will be carried to substitute the Senate for the House bill when the subject is taken up, and that the motion will prevail and the Senate bill pass. Mr Ingalls, Republican, said in the debate yesterday that the man who would keep these old men from the pension rolls by his vote would kick a woman or strike a baby. - 7 Mr Clymer will answer Mr Garfield as soon as he gets a chance. A bitter speech from Mr Eugene Hale does more to unite the Demo cratic party than an appeal from its leaders. Your, correspondent has. seen no Virginian this session who has bean to see General Butler on business who does not say he is genial, liberal and accommodating. Some Democrats, they say, might follow his example, in these respects with profit, i ' ! .The longest speech yet made by Sen ator Don Cameron is : "I insist on my motion that the Senate now adjourn.'' The House Banking oommittee, by a vote of seven to two, agreed to re port in favor of retiring national bank notes. The Senate Naval committee has re ported favorably on the bill to organ ize a life saviDg service.

'Lancaster" S.

His election by an overwhelming majority severely reDutea nis traducers. who eouebt to impeacn nis ousii ness integrity. No notice would have been taken of these campaign lies were it not that some of his enemies (and every success ful business man has his full quota -of en vious rivals') are republishine these bogus analyses. Numerous and most absurd for mulas nave been puoasneu, purporung 10 come from hieh authority : and it is a Biz nincant fact that no two nave been at au alike conclusively proving the dishonesty of their authors. Th9 following is from the Buffalo Com mereial. of Oct. 23d. 1877 : Hardlv a dezen years ago he (Dr Fierce) came here a voune and unknown man. al most friendless, with no capital except his own manhood, wnicn, However, mciuaeo nlentv of brains and pluck, indomitable per severance, and inborn uprightness. Capital enough for any young man, in this progres sive country, if only he has good health and habits as well. He had all these great nat ural advantages and one thing more, an ex cellent education. He had studied medicine and been regularly licensed to practice as a physician. But he was still a student, fond of investigation and experiment. He dis covered, or invented, important remedial agencies or compounds. Not choosing to wait wearily for the sick and suffering to 6nd out (without anybody to tell them) that he could do them good, he advertised his medicines and invited the whole profes sion, of every school, to examine and proi nounce judgment upon his formulas. He advertised liberally, profusely, but with ex traordinary shrewdness, and with a method which is in itself a lesson to aU who seek business by that perfectly legitimate means. His success has been something marvelous so great indeed that it must be due to in trinsic merit in the articles be sells more even than to his unparalleled skill i,n the use of printer's ink. The present writes once asked a distinguished dispensing drug eist to explain the secret of the almost uni versal demand for Dr Pierce's medicines; He- said they were in fact genuine medicines,-,-anr.h comnoanda as every good s physician" would prescribe for the diseases which, tbey5 were advertised to cU re... Or course, they cost less than any druggist would charge for, the same article supplied- on a- pa y sician'e prescription and besides there was the doc tor's fee saved. Moreover, buying the drugs Mttsuch enormouB-quantities, .having per fect apparatus for purifying and compoundv ine the mixture, b could not only get bet ter articles in the first place, but present the medicine In better form and cheaper than the same mixture could possibly be obtain ed from any other sowce. -""i-'i-: 1 It may be thought that all this bavin's; ref erence to Dr Pierce's ; private business has" ho point whatever when considered in con nection with the proper Qualifications of a candidate for - the Senate. , Perhaps.
