Congress-.

The SENATE yesterday passed the Indian Appro-
priation Bill, and then took up the bill to amend
the act to promote the efficiency of the Navy.
The amendment of Mr.. Bayard was Withdrawn,
and that of Mr. Toombs was read as a substitute
to the entire bill of the Committee on Naval
Affairs Before voting, however, upon the sub
stitute, Mr.. Toombs proposed a new section to tho
original BILL to the effect that there shall be no
promotions in lieu Of the retired or dropped Off
GERS under the act of February, 1855.
This led to very interesting discussion. Mr.,
Toombs withdrew bis amendment temporarily, and
Mr. Mallory then proposed several amendments
which were adopted; one of which provided for
the rest Grafton TO their former rank and position
of some Of the disrated and dropped officers The
section creating the grade of Admiral was stricken
out, on motion Of Mr.. Hale and the section estab-
fishing scientific corps was dropped, on motion
of Mr.. Clayton. The BILL as amended, was ordered
to be printed, and made the special order of the
day for Monday, when a decision upon it is ex-
pected
The House was occupied yesterday in the dis
cusson OF the Brooks and Sumner case. After
Mr.. Comins of Massachusetts, concluded his speech,
Mr.. Cobb of Georgia addressed the House, in q
very able argument against the resolutions. &c
was followed by Mr.. Pennington of New Jersey, in
favor of the resolutions, and by Mr.. Foster Of
Georgia, who denied the power of the House to
take cognizance of the alleged offence, which, he
commended, properly belonged to the courts to de
eide upon.
The discussion was not finished when the House
adjourned.

George Law.


This prince of political empires has paid some
penny-a-liner $50 to write letter for him, in
which he denounces Mr.. Fillmore and declares for
Fremont Although, for the greater part Of his
life, an active member OF the old Democratic party,
he has now become rabid Abotionist, and shrieks
for freedom like genuine Greeleyite.
This same George Law in his letter of February
22d, 1855, to the American members of the Penn
syvania Legislature, thus expressed his views
against the party which he now supports:
"0ne of the most dangerous evils which has
grown out of the degeneracy of the old parties is
that Of sectional agitation Sectional agitation is
the great danger that menaces the Americas Re-
public. 1t is the weak point Of the Union. The
sacred tie of marriage cannot subsst in private life
without confidence in the virtue of the parties
united neither can this Union exist under the
dishonorable and malignant sectional agitation
which has been forced upon us in these latter days
by small sections of politicians, who sink into in
significance before the great historical names OF
our country. Sectional agitation is not only our
weakest point at home but it invites the interior
ence OF our enemies abroad"

AMERICAN ORGAN.-Ths staunch American nd
vocate, which we have noticed on several occa
sions, has now actively entered upon the Pres-
dental campaign. 1t is the central organ OF the
American party Of the Union and is conducted
with an ability surpassed by no paper in the world,
and eoualled by but few A full account Of every
thing relating to the welfare and prosperity Of the
| party throughout the Union, may be found in its
columns The executive committee of the Ma
tonal American party have adopted it as the cen
trail organ of the party, and recommend it to the
support of Americans. Republican.
We are not insensible to the good opinion of
our American friends and we are gratified
when they are kind enough to speak favorably
Of our efforts in behalf of the cause to which
we have now devoted some fifteen years Of the
best portion of our life. 1t is equally crafty
ing to us to observe that the spark with which
we sought to ignite the West in 1s41, on the
banks of the Mississippi, has set the whole
country in blaze which will not be extin
guished until the noxious weeds of foreign
influence shall be consumed in the confagra-
ton The intense American feeling which
has been aroused throughout the country, is
as resistless as the mighty Mississippi in its
annual food, and like that twill sweep all the
filth and rubbish into the vast ocean, to find
an eternal oblivion.

ST.. MARY's, ND, July s, 1896.
Editor american Organ:
This has been good day with old st. Mary's.-
On the 4th Mr.. Traver of Baltimore, delivered the
Grafton at Piney Point, which so pleased the peo-
pie, that he was invited to address the sovereigns
at this place on Monday yesterday An invita-
ton was at once extended to the opposition to have
then and there their man; but, as the sequel
proved, after securing the county, no one Was
found willing to be victimized. The party at the
Pavilion being also invited, and conveyances being
sent down, Col Dix, the gentlemanly proprietor,
freely loaned them tie big flag and his excellent
band Of music. Unfortunately for the comfort OF
the company, violent storm came on Just at the
hour of meeting, which drove us from the ten pin
alley, where temporary refuge had been taken,
to the store-house of Mr.. Shedrick, which, with
the portiro, afforded shelter to goodly number.
The meeting having been organized, Mr.. Travers,
in speech Of some forty or fifty minutes, gave a
brief, but most able and eloquent review of the
state of parties in the country. Like good gem
era he discarded all defensive tactics and carried
the war into Africa. He was listened to with the
best attention, and frequently applauded. ,s.-.
The people, like their champion, scorning any
advantage cheerfully acquiesced in hearing Mr.. I.
w. Hail. of Baltimore, the talented young lawyer
who had gone down to read the Declaration of In
dependence, whose prefaratory remarks on the 4th
sustain the falling cause Of Locofocoism. He
hammered the head of the ubiquitous parsonage,
Sam, who has found firm Judgment even here,
but did not hurt him anything to speak Of" as
we sometimes say, and carried out fully that part
of the programme which would make it appear
that the contest would be between Fremont and
Buchanan. IL is needless to say that that cock,
as usual, failed to fight.
Mr.. Hall having been INDUCED to his hearts con-
tent, (say one hour and half and night coming
on, Mr.. Travers rejoined, and for about twenty
minutes made the fur fly from both champion and
cause. Shout after shout followed him through
out, and three cheers for Sam wound up the ball.
A proposition is under consideration for grand
barbecue and discussion on Saturday the 9th,
of which due notice will be given if it comes off.
Send us down Marshall, Harris, Davis, and other
four-milers. The men who have sustained Ameri.
canism before the world, cannot suffer in Mary.
land. We viii send you large club, by next
mail. Yours, GREAT MILLS.

SOUTHERN RAILROAD CoNvENTIoN.-This body
composed of the presidents and superintendent Of
the several Southern and South western railroad
lines, closed its session at Ashland, Virginia, on
Wednesday. The attendance was large and most
respectable, all parties being of the elect The
principal subject of discussion was of course the
facilitating and expedition of carrying the mails
and travel of the vast region represented; but
there were other subjects discussed, among which
may be mentioned the Pacific railroad, the regua-
ton of the express business through tickets class
flying both freight and passage, &c. The proceed
ings were closed with splendid supper on invita-
ton of President Robinson, at which not only all
the good things of the season were discussed, but
wine, sentiment and good fellowship extensively

make no charges and call no names But If VIC

politicians from their duties at Washington, and
interrogate them as to their completely in this stu
pendous speculation. We should call to the stand
the Tribune, of New York, and ask its editor
whether he or any of his associates are interested
in the Mariposa land grant, or other claims Of the
said company and demand an answer-yes or no.
We should call to the stand the Courier and En-

To the Editor of the american Organ:
The call for meeting of the " 0ld-line Wings,
which appeared in our papers for several days past
created no little interest and speculation in our
midst. The Virginia Sentinel, rabid organ of the
anti-American party, and one that cannot publish
respectful notice of any of its meetings, al
though it numbers many subscribers who are act
i've members of the American party-has been IN
great travail, grooming to be delivered, by present
ing the vagaries Of his own distorted mind a. TO

Well he played upon "a harp OF = tnouss ~

for the meeting of the old-line Wings arrived
Notvithstandnr the night was Indictment, the Ly-
ceum Hall was well filed with representatives o.
the three parties. The old-line wings appeared
calm. diRni6ed and conscious Of the importance OF
the position they occupied before the country the
