to, if one should be interposed by the E1-
ecutive. Although the aggregate amount
of claims is ten millions of dollars one half
of that sum as heretofore is the basis pro-
posed to be appropriated as matter Of
compromise.
HousE.-Mr. Ethridge submitted the
following resolution, which was read for
information:
: Resolved, That this House regard all
suggestions or propositions of every kind,
by whomsoever made, for revival of the
slave trade, as shocking to the moral senti-
ments of the enlightened portion Of man
kind. Any act on the part of Congress,
or legislation eonniving at or legalizing
that inhuman traffic, would Justly subject
the United States to the reproaeh and exc
Grafton of all civilized and Christian peo-
pie throughout the world. Objection was
made to the introduction of the resolu-
ton. s.t---
Mr.. Etheridge moved the suspension of
the rules. Mr.. Campbell, of Ohio, de-
-manded the ayes and noes. Mr.. Walker
asked whether, if the House should sus-
pend the rules, it was the purpose of Mr..
Etheridge to move the previous question
on the adoption of the resolution in order
to cut of debate.
Mr.. Etheridge replied that the resolu-
ton contained selfeyident proposition.
He presumed every gentleman had an
opinion on the subject He would not dis
cass it but would move the previous ques-
ton.
Mr.. Jones, of Tennessee, wanted to leave
out the argument in the resolution, saying
he was as much opposed to the re-opening
of the African slave trade as his colleague.
(He was here called to order by the Speak
er, who said that debate was inadmissible
at this time.) Mr.. Jones said he would
not be gagged by either the Speaker or
any one else.
Mr.. Orr Intellectually strove TO substitute
simply: Resolved, That it is inexpedient to
repeal the laws prohibiting the African
slave trade.
Mr.. Etheridges motion to suspend the
rules.t enable him to introduce his resolu
ton, was carried. Ayes 140; noes SO.

Scarlet Fever.

This disease is prevailing to considers
bic extent this winter in many sections OF
the country, and the cities report large
fatality from it among the children. The
deaths in Philadelphia from week before
last were Al, in New York SO. in Boston

cases are also occurring in the country in
the East and West.
A writer in the Boston Post says with
confidence, that zone globule of Beladonna
taken every morning, by each and every
member of a family-adults, children, ser
wants and ali inmates-will certainly pre-
vent the spread of this dreadful disease in
every household that may adopt it, as GER

pox. Ten cents will purchase years sup

From nuenos Ayres.

Advices from this port have been received
TO June s. Business had improved very ma
terlaly. The relations oil Buenos Ayres with
the Confederated Provinces were unaltered.
A false report TO the effect that France and
England were about Jointly 70 intervene in
these disputes produced some excitement.
The report arose from the simple fact that the
Ministers Of these two Governments came out
in the same vessel. There had been a change
in the Buenos Ayres Cabinet. DR.. Velez Sars-
field had become Secretary of State. A por-
tion Of the city had been lighted with gas.
