AND WEKLY REVIEW. arose and partook of a slight breakfast, after which she commenced dressing for the scaffold. She appeared quite calm, and conversed with much freedom with the person around her. Early in the morning thousands of people visited New Brunswick, some from a radius of fifty miles to be present at the execution. The crowd of persons consisted mainly of farmert, who came in town in large farm wagons many bringing their families with them. Out side of the prisons walls two companies of the New Jersey Rifle Corps were detailed to preserve order. Inside of the prison yard about five hundred men were gathered, each one having a ticket similar to the following: New Brunswick, N. J. Aug. 20th 1867. I J. Manning Clarkson, Shreift of the county of Middlesex, do hereby depute, authorize and apappoint James J. Spelman a special Deputy Sheriff to assist in preserving the public peace at the execution of Bridget Durgan at the county Jail on Friday, August 30th, 1867, at ten o'clock A. M. J. MANNING CLARKSON, Sheriff At 12 minutes past 10 o'clock the mournful procession emerged from the Jail, and proceeded towards the gallows across the yard, the same one which Joseph Williams met his fate some two months ago. The prisoner was accompanied by three catholic priest the sheriff and his deputies, and the members of the press. Arriving under the gallows she engaged in earnest conversation with her spiritual advisor for a few moments, after which the sheriff approached her and fastened the fatal noose to the rope dangling from the cross beam. She manifested some impatience at the proceedings of the sheriff by jerking her head from him. She not having anything to say the black cap was drawn over her face, the signal was given and at 18 minutes past 10 o'clock a dull heavy sound was heard, accompanied by the falling of heavy weights, and the body of Bridget Durgan was jerked about six feet from the ground into the air a lifeless mass. A slight pulsation was perceptible for a few minutes, after which all was still. She died very easy although the neck was not broken. It was expected that she would become perfectly helpless and give way to wild screaming as she did upon the execution of Williams. But she was calm and walked to the gallows with a very firm step. She had taken considerable pains with her toilet, her hair being nicely arranged and tastefully put up in a chignon. She wore a brown morino dress, white collar, white cuffs and a black piece of ribbon about her neck. In her confession she said that she committed the deed alone, and that it was not for the purpose of robbery, but to get Mrs. Coriell out of the way so that she might be mistress herself. She gave a full description how the murder was accomplished and felt sorry now she did it. Very little credence is placed in what she says as she has made so may confessions all of them being different. The body after hanging 30minutes was cut down and placed in a rose wood coffin and given to the catholic clergy for interment. Thus closed the record of a horrible murder. The brutal crowd after jeering at the lifeless body left the scene. Some men lose all sense of decency when they are at places of this kind and gives vent to the most outrageous expressions. This was the case last Friday at the execution of Bridget Durgan, and we hope we will never be called upon to witness such a horrible scene again. Locals. reply. The second protest, in the case of General Sheridan, covered a little over a page, and is most emphatic in its tone and language. Instead of being a friendly letter it is severely official in its terms. It calls upon the President to withhold the order in view of financial reasons and from considerations of patriotism. The reply of the President was also official. It covers about a dozen pages, and consists of a specious argument regarding his rights and duties in the case, and ends with the peremptory order already announced. The first intention was to send it out solely as a Presidential order in form, but after Mr. Johnson's reply, General Grant made it his own so far as to enable him to send out the fifth section. The order left by mail for New-Orleans this morning. Several more removals are looked for. The knowledge that the above papers existed, and that the president has suppressed them, is creating as much excitement in official circles as the garbling of Gen. Sheridan's dispatches. This fact may force their publication.-Wash. Cor. Boston Advertiser. The following letter has been written by Gen Sheridan to Gen Grant, in reference to the progress of Reconstruction: - HEADQUARTERS FIFTH MILITARY} DISTRICT, NEW ORLEANS L.A, } August 3d, 1867. } General U. S. Grant, Commanding Army of the United States, Washington, D.C. GENERAL - I have the honor to submit for your information the following. That the State of Louisiana is registered in accordance with the Act of Congress dated March 2, 1867, and the bills supplementary thereto; the poll-books are nearly made, and the Commissioners of Election for each polling precinct appointed; the number of registered votes will be slightly over 120,000; the State will in all probability come in as a Union State. In accomplishing this registration I have had no opposition from the ma[[?]]nes of the people; on the contrary, much assistance and encouragement; but from the the public press, especially that of the city of New Orleans, and from office-holders and office-seekers disfranchised, I have met with bitterness and opposition. The grea'est embarrassment with which I have had to contend was the constant rumors of my removal published nearly every day in the papers of this city. It was a serious embarrassment, as it was breaking down the confidence of the people in my acts; but notwithstanding this, we worked patiently and industriously, having in view only right and justice, and the law in its spirit. I have, as I have heretofore stated to you, permitted no political influence nor political machinery to help or influence me in this work. Receiving the law as an order, it was so executed. I regret that I have to make the charge against Brigadier-General L. H. Rousseau, United States Army, of visiting my command recently, and, without exhibiting any authority, interfering with my duties and suggesting my removal. I am, General, very respectfully your obedient servant, (Signed) P. H. Sheridan, Major-General U.S.A Perry Davis' Pain Killer.

Bendall & Scott, Corner of Canal and Hudson St. New York, Carpet, Oil, Cloths, Carpets, Bedding, Furniture, of every descirption, Housekeepers or Persons IMPORTANT TO MERCHANTS, FARMERS AND PLANTERS WE have been informed that the usual practice of Merchants, Farmers, and Planters is ordering their supplies of our Dr. McLane’s Celebrated Vermifuge! Has been to simply write or order Vermifuge. The consequence is, that instead of the genuine Dr. McLane’s Vermifuge, they very frequently get one or other of the many worthless preparations called Vermifuge now before the public. We therefore beg leave to urge upon the Planter the propriety and important of invariably writing the name in full, and to advise their factors or agents that they will not receive any other than the genuine Dr. McLane’s Celebrated Vermifuge, prepared by Fleming Brothers, Pittsburgh, PA. We would also advise the same precautions in ordering Dr. McLane’s Celebrated Live Pills. The great popularity of these Pill, as a specific or cure for Liver Complaint, and all the Bilious Derangements so prevalent in the South and South-west, has induced the vendors many worthless nostrums to claim for their preparations [[?]] medicinal virtues. Be not deceived, Dr. McLane’s Celebrated Liver Pills are the original and only reliable remedy for Liver Complaints that has yet been discovered, and we urge the Planter and Merchant, as he values his own and the health of those depending on him, to be careful in ordering. Take neither Vermifuge nor Liver Pills, unless you are sure you are getting the genuine McLane’s, prepared FLEMING BROTHERS, Pittsburgh, Pa. DR. MCLANE's CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, FOR THE CURE OF Heptatis or Liver Complaint, Dyspepsia, and Sick Headache In offering the public Dr. MLANE'S CELEBRATED LIVER PILLS, as a remedy for LIVER and BILIOUS COMPLAINTS, we presume no apology will be needed. The great prevalence of LIVER COMPLAINT and BILIOUS DISEASES OF ALL KINDS throughout the United States, and peculiarly in the West and South, wherein the majority of cases the patient within the reach of a regular physician, requires that some remedy should be provided, that would not in the least impair the constitution, and yet be safe and effectual. That such is the true character of DR. MCLANE'S LIVER PILLS, there can be no doubt. The testimony we lay before you and the great success with has invariably attended their use will, we think, be sufficient too onvince the most incredulous. It has been our wish that these Pills should be fairly and fully tested, and stand or fall by the effects produced. That they have been so tested, and that the result has been in every respect favorable, we call thousands to witness that have experienced their beneficial effects. DR. MCLANE'S LIVER PILLS are not held forth or recommended, (like most of the popular medicines of the day,) as universal cure-alls, but simply for LIVER COMPLAINTS, and those symptoms connected with a damaged state of that organ. DISEASES OF THE LIVER The Liver is much more frequently the seat of disease than is generally supposed. The function i is designed to perform, and on the regular execution of which depends not only the general health of the body, but the powers of the Stomach, Bowels, Brain, and the whole Nervous System, shows its vast and vital importance to human health. When the Liver is seriously diseased, it in fact not only deranges the vital functions of the body, but exercises a powerful influence over the mind and its operations, which cannot easily be described. It has so close a connection with other diseases, and manifests itself by so great a variety of symptoms of a most doubtful character, that it misleads more physicians, even of great eminence, than any other vital organ. The intimate connection which exists between the Liver and the Brain, and the great dominion which I am persuaded it exercises over the passion of mankind, convince me that many unfortunate beings have committed acts of deep and criminal atrocity, or become what fools term hypochondriacs, from the simple fact of a diseased state of the Liver. I have long been convinced that more than one-half of the complaints which occur in this country, are to be considered as having their seat in a diseased state of the Liver. I will enumerate some of them:—Indigestion, Stoppage of the Menses, Deranged State of the Bowels, Irritable and Vindictive Feelings and Passions from trifling and inadequate cause, of which we afterwards feel ashamed; last though not least, more than three-fourths of the diseases enumerated under the head of CONSUMPTION, have their seat in a diseased Liver. This is truly a frightful catalogue. SYMPTOMS OF A DISEASED LIVER.—Pain in the right side, under the edge of the ribs increasing on pressure; sometimes the pain is in the left side; the patient is rarely able to lie on the left side; sometimes the pain is felt under the shoulder-blade, and it frequently extends to the top the shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken for Rheumatism in the arm. The stomach is effected with loss of appetite and sickness; the bowels in general are costive, sometimes alternating with lax; the head is troubled with pain, accompanied with a dull, heavy, sensation in the back part. There is generally a loss of memory, accompanied with a painful sensation of having left undone
