A MAD DOG.

Yesterday morning pet Dog, belonging to
the little daughter of the Editor of this paper,
suddenly became mad-but fortunately no one
sustained any injury from him as far as we
know. Our little daughter had him in her
arms but a few moments before he manifested
any strong evidences of hydrophoba, and in
deed pulled him from under table by the tail
after the malady had taken full possession of
him. We were not present when the dog was
first taken, but coming in while the fit was on
him, we determined at once that he was mad,
and called to our neighbor. MIR. JNo. H. BLoN-
DELL, who agreed fully with us that he was
mad, and we Of course at once had him killed.
The poor little dog was in great agony while
the fit was on him, and irothed very much
at the mouth. He ran to a Wash stand
where there was a basin of water on the
lower shelf of it, but as soon as he came
near the water the fit appeared to become
more severe and the dog perfectly frantic
We make these remarks Tor the purpose Of ex-
pressing our gratitude for the Proridential es-
cape Of our child, aud also 10 caution the pub
lie against the probability of there being other
mad dogs about the town and neighborhood.

by even larger majority than before. Had
the previous question been defeated, the bill
would in all probability have been amended
in many essential particulars, or laid over till
December. But the die is cast-iacion has
triumphed over country, and desolalion will
succeed to general prosperity.
The striking fact is now presented to the
people ofthc United States, that complete
revolution has been effected in the revenue
policy ofthe Government, by the cnsting vote
of the Vice President in the Senate, aud by
majority of one in the House of Rcprcsen-
tatives; and yet the party has n minority of
sixty in the latter and Of five in the former!
Can this be regarded MS an opinion upon
which such measure ought 10 stand! !
say not. 1t is our duty to put every energy
in motion TO overthrow n measure carried
under such circumstances, and which is so
repugnant TO the genius of our Government
and rlIinous to the industry ofthG county,
Let the cry of Repeal ofhe British Tariff be
uttered from every Wing hamlet and log cab

sion QfCongress, take the means of having
themselves properly represented at the seat

imperfect law and the adoption ola measure
upon which the various pursuits OF life and
departments of commerce will he fully rep

WASHINGTON. JulN

WAsHINGTON, July ~.
The great struggle of the session is at
length over The protective policy is pros
tratcd, and an experiment which promises
nothing but ruin and bankruptcy, is now tos
ted upon the country. The important events
of yesterday have already been communicate
ed, and those Of this day seem only to close
the gloomy history ofits predecessor. When
Dallas struck the fatal blow ut the industry
and labor of the country, and more especial
~ at the interests of ms native State, even
then the sanguine felt a hope that all was not
lost. They turned to the popular branch for
a change of opinion, which has not been an
swered, and they raised expectations which
were destined to be crushed.
1t was reported last night, after II meeting
Of the New York Loco-Focos, that enough
strength would be secured to defeat the pas
sage ofthe bill. In other words, that enough
of that Delegation would relinvush their for
iner positions, to save the Tariff of 1872
Whatever may have been the hopes of others,

this promise would be fulfilled. | had seen

The main test to-day was made upon the
previous question to concur in the amend
ment of the Senate. Mr. Winthrop raised a
point of order and called the attention of the
House to the fact, that the real question had
not been understood in his vicinity and the
House had voted upon two propositions, one
of which required a majority, and the other
a vote oftwo-thirds. But federation or truth
was not the order ofthe day, and the MAORI
ty was determined to sweep the board by the
power of its physical strength. They were
inclined to hear nothing which contained rea-
son or right, and ready to vote for anything
which would carry through the party meas
lrre and triumph. Accordingly motion to
lay on the table was voted down by malori-
ty of thirteen. Then followed the previous
question upon the concurrence, which was
taken by tellers, and prevailed by solitary
vote there being but 1902 to 101!! On this
portion ofthe Loco Focos from New York,
and some from the West, who had pledged
themselves to go for postponement till the
next session, united with the Wings, but de-
serted as soon as this defeat was as
certained. Consequently, the amendment of
the Senate was accepted and the bill passed

before the Fashion sailed without firing n

entrance Of the troops into town, but offered
no resistance.
