Au amendment was pro; posed, to strike from tho legislative, ex ecu ti ve and judicial appropriation tbe clause inserted last year, by Senator Drake, which prohibited as evidence in tho Court of Claims certain Presidential pardons. Tbe amendment authorizes as i evideuco auy pardon or amnesty granted before the suppression of thc rebellion, j under proclamation of President Lin- ? coln. This amendment not to npply to j suits in thu Court of Chums arising j under tho Act of March G, to provide for tho collection of abandoned property, and prevention of frauds within insur- j rcotionary districts.

SUDDEN DEATHS.-The readers oT newspapers cannot have failed to be im? pressed with tho remarkable frequency of sudden deaths within the hist ten days, aud reaching to every section of tho country. So great has been their number thut tbe fatality seems almost to have assumed thc form of an epidemic. Some remarkable coincidences have also occurred in connection with the startling j events. Ono day tho telegraph announces . tho suddeu death of the French Profess? or at West Point, aud the next day we have accounts of the death iu like man? ner of au old and distinguished French Professor in New Orleans. One day we hear of the death of Steinway, the cele? brated piano manufacturer of New York, and tho next brings us tidings of the sudden demise of his great rival, Clink? ering, of Boston. Coming nearer home, a well known and popular railroad con dactor expired suddenly at bis residence in his city, and another of the same call iug and in like esteem was found dead on the same day and about the same hour in Macon. Such events coming to? gether are certainly most remarkable. [Savannah Republican. The proceedings in the impeachment trial of Governor Holden, of North Ca? rolina, are growing interesting, aud the charges against him are being fully proven. Holden was charged with hav iug recruited and armed a body of men contrary to tho laws of the State, which be denied, averriug that such armed men were only the regular militia called into active service, according to law. The muster-rolls, however, and the tes? timony of Teuuesseeaus, show that Kirk, Bergen, Yates and others, the chief o. ficers of the "militia." were all citizens and residents of the County of Washing? ton, in tho State of Tennessee, and weie men notorious for their cruel, brutal and merciless character, and that 870,000 of the State funds were paid over to these merciless plunderers. But for the time? ly interference of a Federal Judge, their prisoners would have been court-mar? tialed and executed. The Chief Justice, though a Radical himself, is presiding with strict impartiality, and in his rul? ings gives general satisfaction. OUT OF THE JAWS OF DEATH.-A re- j markable case of lockjaw was related to us recently. A gentleman of this city Lad his jaws continuously locked for nineteen days, and nt intervals for thir? teen. During the time when thc disease was at its worst the sufferer could not eat anything nor sleep in the least. During the thirty-two days' siege he drank as many quarts of liquor to stimu? late him. The same man has been visit? ed by cholera and yellow fever. The physicians who attended bim while he had lockjaw pronounce his recovery the most remarkable ever coming under their observation.-Harrisburg Patriot. Social gossip in London asserts that I tho Duke of Edinburgh, (Princo Alfred,) ! tho Queen's second son, is to marry a plcbean but rich daughter of a London banker.

HST DrrBcfreneU Artvloes Cowmnpavci to Ro to Florida, in Winter-TJaviDg for the last thirty-fl vo years devoted my whole time and attention to' the study of lung die eases and consumption, I fool that lander stand fully tho conreo that ought to be pur? sued to restore a tolerably bad caso of diseased lungs to healthy soundness. The first and most important atop is for tho patient to avoid taking cold, and tho best of all places on this continent for this purpose in winter, is Florida, well down in the State, where the temperature is regular, and not subject to such variations as in more Northern latitudes. Palatka is a point I can recommend. A good hotel is Kept thero by Potorman. Last win tor I uaw several persons thero whoso lungs had been badly diseased, but who, undor tho healing iniluence of the climate and my medi? cines, woro getting well. One hundred miles further down the river ?H a point which I would prefer to Faint kn, as tho temperature ia morn even and tho air dry and bracing. Mellon ville and Enterprise are localed there. I should glvo a decided pre? ference to Mollouvillo. It is two miles from river or lake, and it seems almost impossible to take cold there. Tho tables in Florida might bo botter, and patients complain at times, but that is a good sign, as it iudicates i a return of appetite, and when thia is tho caso t hey generally increase in flesh, and then tho lungs must heal. Jacksonville, Hibernia, Green Gove, and many other places in various parts of Florida, can bo safely recommended to consumptives in wintor. My reasons for saying so aro that ' patients aro loss liablo to take cold thero than whore there is a loss ovon temperature, and it is not necessary to say that where a consump? tive person oxposcs himself to frequont colds, i ho is certain to dio shortly. Therefore, my ' advice is, go well down into tho State, out ol \ thc reach of prevailing East winda aud fogs. Jacksonville, or almost any other of tho lo? calities I have named, will benefit those who aro troubled with a torpid liver, a disordered stomach, deranged bowols, sore throat or cough, but for those whoso lungB aro diseased a more Southern point is earnestly recom? mended. For tilteen years prior to 18C9,1 was profes? sionally in New York, boston, Baltimore and Philadelphia every week, where I saw and ex? amined ou an average fivo hundred patients a week. A practico so extensive, embracing every possible phase of lung disease, bas ena bledmo to understand tho disease fully, aud hence my caution in regard to taking cold. A person may take vast quantities of "Schcuck's Puhuonic Syrup, Seaweed Tonic and Man I drako Pills." and yet die if he does not avoid takiug cold. lu Florida, nearly everybody is uoiug Schcuck's Mandrako Pills, ior thc climate is more likely to produce bilious habits than more Northern latitudes. It is a well estab? lished fact that natives of Florida rarely die of consumption, especially thosoofthe South? ern part. On thc other "hand, in New Eng? land, one-third, at least, of thc population die ot thia terrible disease. In tho Muidle States it does not prevail so largely, still there aro many thousands of cases there. What a vast per centage of lifo would be saved if consumptives were us easily alarmed in re? gard to taking fresh cold as they arc about scarlet fever, small-pox, dec. But they are not. They take what they terni a little*cold, which they are credulous enough to believe will wear off in a fow days. They pay no at I tention to it, and hence it lays the foundation for another and another still, until the lungs are diseased beyond all hope for cure. My advice to persons whose lungs are affected even slightly is, to lay in a stock of Schcuck's Pulmouic Syrup, Seheuck's Seaweed Tonic and Schcuck's Mandrake Pills and go to Florida. I recommend these particular medicinen because I am thoroughly acquaint? ed with their action. I know that where they aroused in strict accordance with my direc? tions, they will do the work that is required. This accomplished, nature will do the rest. The physician who prescribes for cold, cough or night-sweats, and then advises the patient to walk or ride out every day, will be sure to have a corpse on bis hands before long. My plan is to givo my t lin e medicines, in accordance with the printed directions, ex? cept in some oases where a freer uso of tho Mandrake Pills is necessary. My object is to give tone to tho stomach-to get up a good appetite. It is always a good sign when a patient begins to grow hungry. I have hopes of such. With a relish for food and thc gratification of that relish conies good blood, aud with it more llosh, which is closely fol lowod by a healing of thc lunge. Then tho cough loosens and abates, thc creeping chills and clammy night-sweats no longer prostrate and aunoy, and the patient gets well, provid? ed he avoids taking cold. Now there arc many consumptives who have not the means to go to Florida. Thc question may bo asked, is thero no hope lor such? Certainly there is. My advice to such is, and ever has been, to stay in a warm room during tho winter, with a temperature of about seventy degrees, which should be kept regularly ut that point, by means of a ther? mometer. Let such a patient take his ex? ercise within tho limits of tho room by walk? ing up and down as much as his strength wiil permit, in order to keep up a healthy circula? tion of the blood. I navo cured thousands by this system, and can do so again. Con bumption is as easily cured as any other disease, if taken in time, and the proper kind of treatment is pursued. The fact stands undisputed on record that Schcuck's Pulmo? uic Syrup, Mandrake Fills, and Seaweed Tonic have cured very many of what seemed tt. be hopeless cases of consumption. Go where you will, you will bo almost certain to hud some poor consumptive who baa been rescued hom thc very jaws of death by their use. So Inr as the Mandrako Pills are concerned, everybody should kee)) a supply of them on hand. They act on tho liver better than calo? mel, and leavo none of ita hurtful effects be? hind. In fact, they aro excellent in all cases where a purgative" medicine is required, ll you have partaken too freely of fruit and diarrhu a ensues, a dose of the Mandrakes will cure you. If you aro subject to sick headache,take a dose of the Mandrakes and they will relieve you in two hours. If you would obviate tho effect of a change of water, or tho too freo indulgence in fruit, take oue of thc Mandrakes every night or every othor night, and you may then drink water and cat watermelons, pears, apples, plums, peaches or corn, without the risk of being sick by them. They will protect those who live in damp situations against chills and fevers. Try thom. They are porfectly harmless. They can do yon good onfv. 1 liavo abandoned my professional visits to Boston ahd Now York, but continue to see patients at my office, No. 16 N. SIXTH street, Philadelphia, ovory Saturday, from 9 A. M. to 3 P. M. Those who wish a thorough exami? nation with the Rcspirometor will bo charged live dollars. Tho Bcspirometer declares the exact condition of tho lung's, and patienta can readily learn whether they aro curablo or not. But I desire it distinctly understood that tho valuo of my medicines depends entiroly upon their being taken strictly according to direc? tions. In conclusion, I will say that when persons take my mediciuos and their systems are brought into r. healthy condition thoroby, they are not so liablo to tako cold, yet no one with diseased lungB can bear a sudden chango of atmosphere without tho liability of greater or less irritation of tho bronchial tubes. Full directions in all languages accompany my medicines, so explicit and clear that any one can use thom without consulting mc, and can bo bought from any druggist. J. H. HCHENCK, M. D., No. 15 N.

All profita are divided among its policy holders annually. No stockholders to absorb any portion. Dividends paid in cash at tho end of the tirBt year. ll is more liberal than any Corny any tn this, that all policios are non-forfeilable after the payment of one annual premium, and no violation of thc conditions of the policy (save fraud, or attempted fraud,) can destroy its aurreuder value. Ita affairs, in every respect, are managed, with the greateat prudence and economy. Nearly $00,000 received during its iirat fisaai year, (11th November,) and only $2,000 paid out ou "death claims," in the same time-. being leas than fonr per cent of same, and lesa than SI to each $6,000 at risk. Such management gives much better assu? rance of future stability and profit than the mero statement and premises of agents of companies not so conducting their business, no matter how large the amount of their business or assets.
