The New York Tribune is of opi-> nion that Governor Brownlow;, judg- ! ing from his last speech at Kuox vi lie, will go for genoral .enfranchisement j in that State. Wo. doubt i?, but tako occasion to extract two paragraphs, from tho Tribune's. articlo.on the subject of eu franchi som cut: Mr. Sumner has now a. bill .before tho Senate, proposing the, enfran? chisement of tbe blacks: throughout the State, where they are still sub? jects only, not practically citizens. The object is emphatically good; we trust that tho means will be found fit, and the power invoked relevant and adequate. But why should not the mover so widen the scope of his proposition as to provide'for a gene? ral enfranchisement of our country? men North and South,-who are now subject to a rule wherein 4'the-con? sent of the governed" io, so far as they are concerned, ignored. . Why should not Mr. Sumner, so long and so honorably . identified with tbe championship of black ?mancip?t ion, and whose plea for universal suffrage is the broadest.and most.sweeping ever yit made in Congress or Parlia? ment, honor himself yet more by pleading the right of all Americans to a voioo in the Government which they are all required to support nud obey? iot That men who ore rebels have no right to control the Government they were seeking by force to overthrow, is a self-evident truth. It is by no nieaos so clear that it is even wiso f& perpetuate the disfranchisement Sf large . classes because they were rebels years ago. The Tories of our Revolution became, not long after, its triumphant dose, fellow-members of the body politic, nith those who had discomfited them in deadly war; . so of Shays' insurrectionists in Massa? chusetts and whiskey rebels in Penn? sylvania. May wo not reasonably hope that tho whole American peo? ple, with at most few and donni te exceptions, will bo enabled to take part in the choice of our next Presi- i dent and Congress? Is not the en-j franchisement of all our countrymen ' who need it tho dictate of National 1 safety as well as National peace? THE PUBLIC DEBT.-Tho forthcom? ing statement of the public debt will show a considerable reduction, as compared with the lost monthly exhi? bit. Since the 31st of May, more than $40,000,000 of interest has been paid out of the Treasury, $20, 000,000 of whioh were in coin, and two instalments of $10,000,000 each in currency. Tho reduction which will bo shown for July is principally owing to re? ceipts of internal revenue having been heavier than usual, and inoreased by the payment of the income tax. There will bo but comparatively little interest paid by the Government un? til tho 1st of November, when annual interest viii fall due on the 5-20's. It will amount to about $24,000,000 in coin. ? General Robert E. I?ee> The Alexandria Gazette publishes tl?,? following extract of a letter from a young lady. It tolls of a touching tribute to the General: "General Lee, accompanied by bia daughter, Miss Mildred, stopped here for a night, on his way to the White Sulphur. While here, the General's old officers proposed giving him an entertainment in the shape of a din? ner or supper, but he declined all public demonstrations. As lie rode through the Village, on his departure, the citizens assembled, and while be was passing along the streets, every man raised his hat und stood with bowee l?ad. The General also raised I his bat, and this silent tribute of the people to their favorite General was indeed beautiful. A gentleman rid? ing with the General at tho time 6ays 'that he felt liko weeping, it being such a solemn tribute of respect-so silent and sad-not a voico was raised-'twas the heartfelt love of a conquered people for a beloved hero.' " Another correspondent writes from tho Springs: "General Loo. arrived herc on his famous grey- horse, which he rode all the way from Lexington. On his approach to the. hotel, a. stronger would have taken him for a plain, Virgiuia farmer; He looks retnarka^ bly well, and although his hair is grey, ho hos not otherwise changed so much in' appearance as not to be readily recognized by those who knew him before th cv war. Like Washington, LaFayetto, and other rebel patriots of the revolution, Lee is respected mid beloved even by those who' were engaged against him in the late unhappy struggle. There was no excitement or furore on the General's arrival, but every one hero treated him with the most profound respect and the greatest courtesy. On his appearance in the boll room, lost evening, he received the respect and smiles of the Indies from all parts bf the country, but retired early to bis cottage, in tho Baltimore row, where he was serenaded; about 12 o'clock, by Professor Roscnberg'e Baltimore band. The General is ac? companied by-his wife, daughter and son, the former of whom is quito an invalid, and has to bo removed from the cottage to tho' spring and baths on a chair. ? ? < - STANTON'S REMOVAL.-The special correspondent of the Baltimore Sui says: There is no, lpngcr necessity foi speculation as to the purpose of thc President with reference to Mr. Stan ton's continuing In tho Cabinet. Mr, Johnson, this morning, notified hin in writing that his resignation as Sec rotary of War would be 'accepted. St far, Mr. Stanton has not been heart from on the subject, but his friend: say ho will resigu, and that bo is pre paring a written response to the nob of the President. In case Mr. Stanton goes out of Un Cabinet, General Grant will be ap pointed to perform the duties of Sec rotary of War until tho Presiden shall have time to cousidor who h will name as the successor of Mr Stanton. It is understood that Mr. Johnsoi unequivocally denies that tho paper and findings of tho court in tho as 8a8sination trial wero first submittei to the Cabinet beforo ho signed hi approval of the aotion of the court He says tho official record was pre sented to him by General Holt, an it was signed in his presence; that o that time no recommendation fe commutation of sentenco of Mn Surratt was attached to the papers. Lost week, tho mortality of S Louis waa not high, being only 12/ but the proportion of dead childrei .under fivo years old, is appallinf Of the total who died, ninety-fh were under that age. That is, of n I the deaths, more than eightly foi j per cont, or more than four-ftftl wero children under that age. Th is a startling fact. NEGROES AS OFT ic i> HOLDERS.-The Now York Herald says: "We hove not heard of a single black candidate elected or nominated for any office in the Tennessee elec? tion. Here is a fact which sneaks well for the intelligence and sagacity of the blacks, holding as they did the balance of power in this contest. They are, it thus appears, in no hurry to push their claims for office, until they establish their rights as citizens to the satisfaction of their white neighbors. They aro ready to yield something for the present to the Southern prejudices of many generations; and from this concilia? tory spirit we look for the best re? sults to both races of the South." PRECOCIOUS.-The Cassville, Mis? souri, Republican, of the 17th ult., says a little daughter of Mr. Martin, of Parry Boort, only eight years old, deliberately shot and killed a brother of four years. She says she killed him "because be pulled her Howers," and declared "if tho other children pulled any more of them, she would shoot them too." Mr. Martin, on hearing the pistol shot, went to his house and found the infant murderess besmeared with blood, dragging her rnaugled brother from the room into the yard. A physician, who was called in to extract the ball, intimates that tho girl was insane. PENNY POSTAGE.-Under the penny postage system, the receipts of the British Post Ofiico hove increased prodigiously. In tho estimate of, Post Office "Revenue in 1867-68, late? ly submitted to the House of Cora- ? mons 1)3' the Chancellor of the Ex? chequer, ?>23,250,000 was set down I as the probable sum of th? year; and from the Revenue Returns for the j Juno quarter, just published* it op- j pears that tho anticipated incomo is likely to be fully realized, the quar? ter's receipts being no less than $5, 750,000. _ A young lady, of respectable family, Was arrested by the police, of this city, on Thursday, disguised as a negress, having blackened her face j and nock with oil and charcoal. It ' seems that she wu? cmor*io?o.,r> of another young lady being on too intimate terms with her lover, and she expected to surprise them in dis- , guise. -Pillsbury Chronicle.

THE symptoms of Liver Complaint aro uneasiness and pain in the right side, and soreness upon touch immediately under tho inferior ribs; inability to he upon the left side, or, if at all. a dragging sonsation is produced which seriously affects respiration, causing, very often, a troublesome cough. Together with these symptoms, wo porceive a coated tongue, acidity of tho stomach, deficiency of per? spiration, and sometimes a sympathetic pain in thc shoulder, with a great disposi? tion to sleep, and depression of spirits, and sometimes sores in the mouth or throat. These symptoms, if permitted to continue, will eventually produce consump? tion, the most banetul ol all diseases. Dyspepsia. Iii? symptoms of Dyspepsia aro various; those affecting tho stomach are nausea, heart-burn, lo?s of appetite, disgust for food, sometimes a depraved appetite, sense of fulness or weight in the stomach, sinking or fluttering in the pit of the sto? mach, sour eructations, coated tongue, acidity of tho stomach, hurried and diffi? cult breathing, ?fcc. The sympathetic affect iona arc very di? versified-cold feet, pain or weakness through the limbs, swimming of the head, budden flushes of heat, dec. The use of thc QUEEN'S DELIGHT should be persevered in until every symp? tom of Dyspepsia has vanished, and health ia entirely restored. Derangements of the Liver and Stomach Aro sources of insanity. From disorder >r obstruction, a morhid notion of tho sym? pathetic amt other nerves follows, and th? 'unctions of the brain aro impaired and leranged; derangement thero will also produce disease of the heart, skin, lungs md kidneys. It is owing to the samo ?ause that thousands dio with Cholera, ilUious or Yellow Fever, and that most jancful disease, Consumption. The origin of nnmerons cases of Con mmption iH?inpaireddig<istion;and many, nany cases of supposed Consumption ??mid be entirely cured bv tho uso of tho QUEEN'S DELIGHT; as" the emaciation, lebility and cough attending weakness or he digestive organs aro so near allied to he symptoius of Consumption, that the me disease is frequently mistaken for tho ither. Notice. It is a well-established fact that fully me-half of ibo female portion of our iojnil.it ion arc seldom in tue enjoyment of ;ood health, or, to use their own expres? i?n, "never feel well." They are languid, levoid of all energy, extremely nervous nd have no appetite. To this class of uvalida, the Queen's Delight is especially ocommeuded. Their pounliar tonio ana nvigorating properties render it invalua ile in such cases. Tho patient should im i< d'..it ely discard all pills and powdors, as hey only weaken tho syoiom, and resort to lie uso of tho Queen's Delight, theinva iablo result of which will bo a Btrong and learty constitution, a disappearance of all ervousness, a good appetite and a perfect ostoration to health. Weak and delicate children aro made trong by using the Queen's Delight.
