III Sick Headache Remedy.-A remedy for
the sick headache, which has been recently offered
the public is attracting great attention, not only
by reason Of the very satisfactory testimonials 10
its efficacy which have been volunteered by many
who have been benefited by il, but also because
there are so great number of people who are af-
hcted with the distressing complaint, for which
no medicine has before been made public. DR..
Eastman who discovered the efficacy of his 'rem-
edy," is physician in this city, in high standing,
with large practice. He is a physician in whom
great confidence is placed and we do not wonder
that his remedy for very common disease, which
has been so long needed has attractedthe attention
ofall sufferers from headache who have heard of II.
From our own knowledge of Dr. Easiman's char
acter and practice, have no doubt that the med
icine deserves the favor receives, and that will
prove 10 be great benefit to all who may give ii
d trial.-Lynm Neaos December 90, 1858.

THIRTY-THIRD CONGRESS.
SECOND SESSION.
ssnate-Tuesday, February 9, IssS

/ Senate Tuesday, February q, 1855.
During the morning hour, a variety Of petitions
were presented.
i A bill, reported from the Committee on the Judi
ciary, 10 provide circuit court for the State of
California, was taken up and discussed, and its
| further consideration postponed till tomorrow.
/ The French spoliation bill, the special order, was
taken up at the time appointed. II approprates
$4,000, 600 10 be distributed pro rata 10 such citizens
of the United States or their legal representatives
as had valid claims 10 indemnity upon the French
Government. arising out Of illegal captures deten-
lions, forcibe seizures, illegal condemnation, and
confscations, committed prior 10 the ratification
| Of the convention between the United States
| and the French Republic, concluded on the
3Olh September $500; but il is provided that in
all cases Of transfer or assignment, except gifts
| or donations, no assignee shall be entitled TO
| receive an amount beyond the consideration paid,
and interest thereon; and these together are not
| TO exceed the amount TO which he would be enti-
| tied il snch assignee were the original holder.
The amounts 10 be paid are 10 be ascertained by
commission, and 10 be liquidated by United States
| five per cent stock redeemabe at the pleasure of
this government. The bill differs from that which
was passed by the Senate year ago, in this that
the House has limited the amount to be received
by an assignee, including interest on the consid-
Grafton paid, 10 the amount that would have been
received under this bill by the original claimant;
and the House has left the redemption OF the
stock at the pleasure Of the government, instead
| Of making II twenty years stock, as the Senate
| provided
Mr.. WELLS opposed the bill.
Mr.. HUNTER advocated the necessity Of
| amending the bill. He represented that publicity
| should be given 10 the proceedings ofthe commls-
sion that was to be appointed 10 adjudicate the
claims, aud make awards of the sums that should
be paid. To secure that object he submitted an
amendment.
Mr.. HAMLIN thought an amendment would
endanger the bill. In a supplemental bill he might
luoo ou,x,h n1su, 1.th llaIs
the recollection Of senators the legislation hereto
fore on these claims, and expressed the hope that
the friends of the measure would not now sane
tion any amendment.
Mr.. CLAYTON followed on the same side, and
contended that the amendment was unnecessary.
Afler few words from Mr.. SEWARD, the
amendment was rejected by majority of "a nays
to 90 yeas.
The bill was finally passed-Yeas 2S, nays II.
And, after further proceedings, the Senate ad-
journed.
