For the Carolina Era. Major Bobbins Introdnccs a Bill. , rrrr.i: ruoM timotiiV takiuvket TO ITI.S BETSY. 11 A LEIGH, Nov. 22, 1871. int Mr.'llanes to print this letter for nic He promised to print all the spell inr riht, so that folks won't laugh at nw as they do at Mr. Jo. Turner for hi bad spelling. Well, Betsy, I do wish you were here The Legislature met last Mon ,1 tv "and I went up to" the State house to ec it. 1 went into the Senate first. It was about one hour before it met, but I found Maj. Mac Robbins at his iM)t. He was a standing behind his mil didn't say a word. I thought lie w-w studying up a speech, and so 1 didn't sav anything more, but I just witched 'him. He kept his eyes on tint Sneaker's stand, and he didn't wink or blink for a level hour. Bimeby Mr. Warren he came limping along and -Hrted up to the Speaker's chair. Just as his foot touched the first step, Maj. ltobbins sang out, "Mr. President, I wish to introduce a bill." Mr. Warren looked at him, sort of sad like, and he says: "The Senator from Rowan will please wait awhile." Then Mr. Warren made a little speech to the Senate, and just as he started to it down, Maj. Robbins, he says right loud, " Mister President, I wish to in troduce a bill." Mr. Warren sort of drawed up one corner of his mouth, and he says : "The Senator will please wait awhile." Then he told the Clerk to call the roll and see if they were all there. Just as the Clerk got through with the last name, I heard Maj. Robbins say: 41 Mister President, I wish to introduce a bill." Mr. Warren was whispering to the Clerk, and made pretends like hedVln't hear him, but Maj. Robbins couldn't be snowed under in that way, so he cleared his throat, and he said, real loud, "Mister President, I wish to in troduce a bill." Mr. Warren begun to look mad, and he said : " Bills can't be introduced yet the Senate ain't organized." I looked at Maj. Robbins and expect ed to see him sit down, but there he tood. Some of the folks began to smile, but Maj. Robbins didn't see 'em. He kept a looking at Mr. Warren, and a holding his bill in his hand. Mr. Warren then said, " the Clerk n iortsa quorum present," and before you could wink your eye, Maj. Rob bins raised his right hand and reach ing as far as he could over the desk in front of him, he says: " Mister Pres ident, I wish to introduce a bill." I never did see a man look so wish ful l)efore, and I did wish Mr. Warren would let him introduce his bill, but he stid they couldn't do anything until they got a message from the House. Hut he might as well have been speak ing to one of them pillars. Maj. Rob bins he just stood there. I seen one of Maj. Robbins' friends get up and go up to Mr. Warren and whisper something to him. I fully expected one of the members was dead and needed burying right off, but none of 'em wan't dead. Mr. Warren sorter winked at Maj. Rob bins, and Maj. Robbins replied in them same words: "Mister President, I w-a-n-t t-o i-n-t-r-o-d-u-c-e a bill." tireat drops of sweat were standing on his forehead, and his words were so full of pleading tenderness that they went straight to Mr. Warren's heart. I saw a great big tear of sympathy roll down Mr. Warren's cheek as he said : 44 The Doorkeeper will wait on the Sen ator from Rowan." I knew Capt. Rob erson, the Doorkeeper, was getting mad, by the way he chewed his tobac co, and just as Mr. Warren said what he did, Capt. Roberson he started at a full run towards Maj. Robbins. Guil ford Christinas, Assistant Doorkeeper, he come a running from the other side of the Hall, but Capt. Roberson had the start of him, and would have got the bill out of Maj. Robbins' hand, but he struck his shin real hard against the corner of a desk, and while he was stooping down rubbing his shin, affec tionate like, Guilford jumped clear over im, knocked off five or six law books, grabbed the bill, and went off towards the Clerks desk, just like one of them Indians we saw at the Fair, when he pt the ball. I've seen Paxton's horse Jot, and I've seen them Indians run, bJjt Guilford Christmas can beat 'em aU holler. I never did see a man look relieved like as Major Robbins, then. just smiled all over. I know he was the happiest man in town. , Ahe Clerk he got up and read as fol lows : 1 "Beit enacted by the General As sembly of North Carolina, and it is nereby enacted by the authority of the nie, That all the amendments to the present Constitution of North Carolina which atic Executive Committee during the . J'etk of the late State Fair, are hereby iK. surprised when you get "a printed h tti r from me, but a.s you can't read :...uinT i wont to The Era office and (U'Sk llOlUlIlg il Ulli AH klkry ikiiava. kJUiu I " how are you, Major?" but he kept ..Yj.-so- tmvanb the Sneaker's stand. . 1 i n;ni"n - -viureu a part ot said constitution." Ahat was Maj. Robbins' bill.. jfr-' then said: "Well, I think n tune to adjourn," and they all draw- ed their five dollars a piece, and ad journed. Now, Betsy, I ain't been here long enough to know anything about parlia mentary law, but a gentleman near me he said: " That's all wrong. Maj. Rob bins will have to introduce that bill again. The Senate can't do anything until the Legislature organizes, and there ain't no quorum in the House of Commons." I do hope if they do force Maj. Robbins to introduce his bill again, that Mr. Warren won't keep him waiting so long next time. I am going to see the House of Commons to morrow, when I will write to you again, Betsy. I am yours, Just like I was, Timothy Tarhuckkt. For the Carolina Era. Senator Graham's Attack on Gov. Caldwell. It would keep a person constantly, and diligently, and laboriously employ ed to answer and refute all the slan ders uttered by sore-headed Democrats against Republicans, hence it is seldom that any one troubles himself to notice the malicious attacks made by these vipers. I hope I may be pardoned for calling the attention of the iublic to one of these attacks by the portly and dignified Senator from Orange, on Thursday, upon Governor Caldwell. r Mr. Graham asserted in his remaks on the floor of the Senate " that the Board of Directors appointed by the Governor leased the Road, and that the State's proxy must have been appoint ed with the understanding that he was to confirm the lease." Now, did the portly and dignified Senator intend to make the impression that the Directors appointed by Gov. Caldwell leased the Road, and that the proxy appointed by him confirmed the lease? Every candid and truthful man will respond, certainly that was what Mr. Graham intended to do. The portly and digni fied Senator well knew that the Direc tors and proxy appointed by Gov. Cald well had nothing whatever to do with the lease ; that they did not organize and have not organized up to this time. The portly and dignified Senator far ther said that " the people of North Carolina will not believe in the sincer ity of the Governor." The portly and dignified Senator knowing his own lack of sincerity feels that every body else is afflicted with the same moral obliqui ty. The portly and dignified Senator also said that " the great length of the Ses sion of lSGS-'Gi) was owing to the want of parliamentary knowledge on the part of the presiding officer." All that is necessary to say in reply to that part of the portly and dignified Sena tor's speech is to refer the reader to the Senate Journal 1SG8-'G9 pages G88 and GS9, where maybe found the following: Mr. Graham presented the follow ing resolution, which was unanimously adopted : " Resolved, That the thanks of this Senate are tendered to the Hon. Tod R. Caldwell, President of the Senate, for the dignity, impartiality and ability with which he has presided over its deliberations." . . Be it remembered, this is the same Mr. Graham who made the onslaught upon the Governor in theSenate Thurs day, and who said that the great length ot the session 01 000- uy nw owing to the want of parliamentary knowledge on the part of the presiding officer, Gov. catawen. The portly and dignified Senator from Orange must have been very insincere introduced and voted under oath for the above resolution, or he must have been so on Thursday when he made his fierce speech in the Senate. Let him take whichever horn of the dilemma he pleases, the people will not believe much in his sincerity. One word of advice to the portly and dignified Senator and I will be done: It will be better for him to try to live out the balance of his days upon the reputation of his father, than to try to make any body believe that he has any ability, impartiality or sincerity. As to mock dignity that is fully conceded to him. v' to R ALFJCxII SASH FACTORY!

The primary cause of Con sumption is derangement of the digestive organs This derangement produces defi cient nutrition and assimilation. By assi milation I mean that process by which the nutriment of the food is converted into blood, and thence into the solids of the body. Persons with digestion thus impaired, having the slightest predisposition to t ul monary disease, or if they take cold, will be very liable to have Consumption of the Lungs m some of its forms; and I hold that it will be impossible to cure any case of Consumption without first restoring a good digestion and healthy assimilation. The verv first thiusr to be done is to cleanse the stomach and bowels from all diseased mu cus and slime, which is clogging these or- so that thev cannot perform their functions, and then rouse up and restore the liver to a healthy action. For this purpose the surest and best remedy is Schenck's Mandrake Pills. These Pills clean the stomach and bowels of all the deadand morbid slime that is causing disease and decay in tho whole system. They will clear out the liver of all diseased bile that has accumulated tnere, and rouse it up to a new and healthy action, by which natural and healthy bile is secre ted. Thn stomach, bowels, and liver are thus cleansed by the use of Schenck's Mandrake Pills : but there remains in the stomacn an excess of acid, the organ is torpid and the appetite poor. In the bowels the lacteals are weak, and requiring strength and support. It is in condition like this that Schenck's Seaweed Tonic proves to be the most valua ble remedy ever discovered. It is alkaline, and its use will neutralize all excess 01 acia, making the stomach sweet and fresh ; it will give permanent tone to this important or tran. and create a good hearty appetite, and prepare the system for the first process of a trood digestion, and ultimately maice gooci, healthy, living blood. After this prepara tory treatment, what remains to cure most cases of Consumption is the free and perse vering use of Schenck's Pulmonic byrup. The Pulmonic Syrup nourishes the sys tem, purifies the blood, and is readily ab sorbed into the circulation, and tnence dis tributed to the diseased lungs. There it ri pens all morbid matters, whether 111 the nhoocAe nr tnhfirfilfis. and then as- lUiiii jl auovKwvM v t - 7 sists Nature toeLalithe diseased matter, in tne lorm or uw uApcuuiuuu, once it ripens. It is then, by the great heal ing and purifying properties of Schenck's Pulmonic Syrup, that all ulcers and cavi ties are healed up sound, and my patient is cured. The essential thing to be done in curing Consumption is to get up a good appetite and a good digestion, so that the body will grow in flesh and get strong. If a person has diseased lungs a cavity or abscess there, the cavity cannot heal, the matter cannot ripen, so long as the system is be low par. What isneccessary to cure is a new order of things, a good appetite, a good nu un luviw tr crrow in flesh and get fat: then Nature is helped, the cavities will heal, the matter will ripen and be thrown titips and the person re gain health and strength. This is the true -1 1.. inninmirofiTisiiTnimmi. and 11 a anu 0111 v uiAii w j x 1 Innnra a ro nrr. r7 1 - person is very uau, xl mo xwxS. i: io,--tri nr fivfin if one luns: is en- tirelv gone, if there is enough vitality left in tne otner 10 xiuui u, v I have seen many persons cured with on lv one sound lung, live and enjoy life to a good old age. This is what Scnencics m eo fcineswilldo to cure Consumption. They will clean out the stomach, sweeten and strengthen it, get up a good digestion, and eive Nature the assistance she needs to clear the system of all the disease that is in the lungs, whatever the form may be. It is important that while using Schenck's Medicines, care should be exercised not to take cold ; keep in-doors in cold and damp wether; avoid night air, and take out-door exercise only in a genial and warm sun shine. I wish it distinctly understood that when I recommend a patient to be careful m re gard to taking cold, while using my medi cines, I do so for a special reason. A man who has but partially recovered from the effects of a bad cold is far more liable to a re lapse than one who has been entirely cured ; and it is precisely the same in regard to Con sumption. So long as the lungs are not per fectly healed, just so long is there immi nent danger of atell return of the disease. Hence it is that I so strenuously caution pulmonary patients against exposing them selves to an atmosphere that is not genial and pleasant. Confirmed Consumptives' lung, are a mass of sores, which the least change of atmosphere will inflame. The grand se cret of my success with my medicines con sists in my ability to subdue inflammation instead of provoking it, as many of the fac ulty do. An inflamed lung cannot, with safetv to the patient, be exposed to the bi ting blasts of Winter or the chilling winds of Spring or Autumn. It should be carefully shielded from all irritating influences. The utmost caution should be observed m this particular, without it a cure under almost any circumstances is an impossibility. The person should be kept on a wholesome and nutritious diet, and all the Medicines continued until the body has restored to it the natural quantity of flesh and strength. I was myself cured by this treatment of the worst kind of Consumption, and have lived to get fat and hearty these many years, with one lung mostly gone. I have cured ousands since, and very many have been cured by this treatment whom I have never About the First of October. I expect to take possession of my new building, at the Northeast Corner of Sixth and Arch Streets where I shall be pleased to give advice to all WFuU dTreltioSa'ccompany all my Reme dies, so that a person in any part of the world can be readily cured by a strict ob servance of the same. gcHBSCKfM Philadelphia.
