Congress.

In the Senate on the Both ult., the resolution
from the House providing that the public prin-
ting shall be dane by contract, was ordered
10 a third reading by a vote Of SO to ID. The
sub-Treasury Bill was then taken up, anG af-
ter receiving several amendments, was ordered
to be engrossed for a third reading. The SEN
ate then adjourned.
In the House, the consideration of the bill
providing for an increase Of the rates of postage
was resumed in Committee cf the Whole; and
after several amendmentsha had been agreed upon
the Committee rose for want Of a quorum, and
was discharged from its further consideration,
and after much irregularity Of proceeding, a
motion to reconsider a vote on a proposition
Of amendment to the bill having been laid on
the table, the Chair decided that 1t carried the
bill with it. No attempt, how ever, was made
to take the bill up again, and the matter vas
dropped.
The bill TO repeal that part Of the tariff act
ofthe 30th August, 1912, which imposes du-
~ Of 20 per cent, ad valorem, on Java Coffee,
and to refund the discriminating duties Of sto-
rage levied on Spanish vessels, except those
from Cuba and Porto Rico. by the act of the
18th July, 1912, was next taken up as amend
ed by the Senate. That part relating to the du-
" on Java Coffee was stricken out, it being un.
necessary, as the proposed modification of the
duty is embraced in the Revenue Bill. The
amendments Of the Senate t" the remainder O
the bill was then concurred in. Sosthe bill
passed.

Quite a fuss has been kicked up in this loco
focos corner Of the Union, arising from some
F~ascality that was Practised in the recent cleo
tion Of United States Senator The Locos
having large majority, quarrelled, as usual
after several weeks Of caucusiDg, it was be-
lleyed that they had agreed upon Bradbury,
and the election came ofF-Bradbury was de-
clared elected. Some Of the Locos, however,
ihopght there was foul play in counting the
votes and procured q certificate from fftYrthree
Wings, thar they voted FOR Evans, and from
four that they voted for Allen and Fessenden,
The tellers counteduonly forty-ninea for Evans.
Its said that II the Governor gives Bradbury
his certificate a row will be the consequence
Oh, the honesty Of Locos towards one another
and the country!
Since writing the above we learn that all The
scattering votes were counted for Bradbury
and that the House Of Representatives, by
vote 81 CT 10 46, indefinitely postponed the cou
sideration 81 an order directing an Inquiry int,
the balloting.

A proposition has been addressed to the
Chairman Of the Semitic Committee on the Post
Office and Post Roads, for carrying the United
States Mail By steam from Charleston, S. C., to
C~olumbiuriver, Oregon Territory, Via Chagres
and Panama. The propOser, I'm. Woodward,
ESD, is ready to enter into a contract, with
sufficient security, to perform this service in
thirty-fve days running time, carrying themail
to and from Oregon every two months, for one
hundred and fifty thousand dollars per an
mum, payable quarterly, and will besides trans
port on the route, Ministers Pleuipotentiary,
Charge d'Afalrs, bearers of dispatches, end
mail agents of the United States free of charge.
In his proposition he includes the following par
ticulars.-Pc.
81 also propose to transport supplies Of pow
der, and such other munitions Of war, for the
use of the army and navy, as can be got across
the isthmus, at such reasonable charge as may
be agreed upon. @
81 will also bind myself to transport emf
grants to Oregon and California at sixty dollars
each Storage passenger, including customary
provisions of water, fuel, bread, &c.
81 also propose to connect with this mail ar
rangemenl a plan for supplying the Pacific
squadron and the "Army Of, Occupation" on
that coast, with saltcd provisions and bread
stufFs, as far as the circumstances Of the coun-
try will permit,placed tnere upon the spot; and
which o%fcourse will not be liable to the OBJ
lection Of being stale. rusty and sour, which SO
commonly happens to these articles when sent
around Cape Horn. Thus not only furnishing
to the army and navy wholesome articles Of
food, but to the people of Oregon a ready mar.
; ket for their surplus products, thereby giving
them the means Of purchasing thel fabrics anc
0 products of our own and other counties.
sin this way" Mr.. Woodward concludes
"The seeds will be planted from whence shall
i, spring a great commercial, agricultural anC
manufacturing people, who will in a short time
! return in revenues to the General Government
tenfold more than what is now asked forte
start this system. If my whole plan is adopt
! ed, | propose further to employ the large fore,
in men and mules, which | should Of %necessit,
have to keep to do the transportation acros
i the isthmus, in improving the way from Cha
gres to Panama, estimated at ten thousand dol
! lars per annum-and thus in time the Unite
States would be in possession Of this "key t
j the commerce Of the world"

GFThat the WtM Cherry Bark possesses
rare medical'virtues, is universally conceded,
for there is scarcely a family in our land that
does not use it in some simple form, and are
benefited by its use. The Balsam Of Wild
Cherry is prepared by the celebrated DR.. Wistar
Of Philadelphia, from the extract of the "Pru-
nus virginiana," (Wild Cherry,) in a highly
concentrated state, with other Powerful medi-
cal agents, that are ECU lily celebrated for their
soothing, healing and strengthening influence
upon the lungs. For the relief of pulmonary
complaints, this compound is certainly superior
to all others with which we have been acqaint,
ed, and WI %arnestly recommend the afflicted
to make trial Of this article. See advertise
ment.
The genuine Wistar's Balsam is sold by
PRlESTLEY & MOSBY.

The Duty on salt,

There never was more barefaced piece o
bargaining than that which took place in the
House on Friday, on the proposition to make
salt free. The tax on this product, which is,
3f all the articles that are imported, the most
essential necessary of life, was, confessedly,
retained in the bill for the purpose of getting
votes! Mr.. Tibbatts, of Kentucky, who had
all along voted against the tax, writes to the,
National lntelligencey that he moved to recon-
slider the vote making it free, because he was
"convinced that the bill would not pass'' un-
less salt was taxed, for the benefit OF New
York, almost exclusively.
Some loco foco members from New York
were willing to sacrifice every other manufac-
turing and mechanical interest of the country,
but they would not consent that foreign salt
should come into the country free of duty, be-
cause it would effect the value of the salt
springs in that State! And they were sup
ported in keeping on this tax, by the professed
Tree traders Of the South and the men from the
West, who were SO indignant that tea and cof-
Re should be taxed! +
The tax on salt could never be defended ex-
cept on the principle that it is the duty Of the
government to protect every interest of the
country. Hence, foreign sugar has b, en- taxed,
and foreign salt t%axed-both of which are. a,
much as tea and coffee, regarded as necessarie.
Of life, and salt is especially so-though thein n,
terest which was thus protected, is entirely 10.
cal, and very inconsiderable, when compared
with that which is invested in manufacture,
and mechanics. But now, by o. combination
between the sugar planters of the South AM
the salt workers of New York, with the pro
fessed free traders, every other interest bu
theirs, is to be sacrificed!
A similar bargain took place for votes from
Maine, in regard to the fishing bounties; an,
these being retained, the loco focos from ,ha
State voted for the bill, which otherwise the
would have opposed! Thus the sugar, salt an
t'hing interests being protected, every othe
was put at hazard. CAN'T be possible that ii
Senate will yield its support to such d sobem
i Of bargaining?-Bah Pat.
