DELICATE CONSTITUTION.

SCROFUL0US SORE EYES.
The following important testimony is from South
Kingston, r. l. In this case the Sarsaparilla was
recommended by the family Physician.
Messrs. SANDS :-Gentlemen,-My little daughter,
when one year old, was attacked with scrofulous
humor on her face, which soon after extended into
her eyes, causing almost total blindness in one of
them, and disfguring her whole face. 1 employed
two physicians to attend her, who exhausted their
utmost skill to give her relief but it all proved use
less. and finally one of them remarked to me that hc
had known of striking cures effected by Sands
Sarsaparia and advised me to try it obtained one
bottle which she commenced using and before it was
all used up it had effected entire cure 1t is now
over four years since she cured, and there has
been no temperance of the disease, and we are
satisfied that 1t is perfect cure
Respectfully yours,
GEORGE ROBINSON.

81 Congress- s. sS-sss - - sss
The Senate had under consideration on Thursday
last the bill from the House making ropriasiens
Cor the Post-ofce Department for the year ending
June 1869 The bill was amended by adding asec-
ton authorizing the appointment Of Fourth Asaist-
ant Postmaster General; but the House, on Friday,
refused to concur in this amendment. An amend
ment also adopted repeating the present provs.
ion by which the lists of letters advertised in the
newspapers having the greatest circulation. and pro-
viding that hereafter the advertisements shall be
given the lowest bidders the price paid not to ex
coed that allowed by the existing laws The House
agreed to this We do not see that this amounts to
any thing. The newspapers of the country do not
now, as general thing desire these advertisements.
The compensation is not than half their usual
rates. But few, of course, will bid for them and
the result Of this amendment will be to confne the ad.
vertisements to obscure papers, If Congress would
retrench the enormous expenditures for useless
ing at Washington City, and limit the frankng priv
iege of late so much abused, it might afford to do
many things that ought to be done, and among 9TH
ers, pay the newspapers of the country fair price
for publishing the lists of letters.
The Senate also voted to abolish the franking
privilege but the House refused to concur. The vote
of the Senate was 3s for abolishng, and against,
Messrs. Clingman and Reid voting in the negative
The Senate also amended the bill so as to increase
the rates of letter postage to five cents Passed, 10
to Is, Messrs. Clingman and Reid voting in the af
6rmative. 1t would seem, from the proceedings of
the House as given in the Union, that this amend
ment by the Senate also rejected by the House
but the Union says Editorially, that the Postofce
appropriation bill considered, and the Senates
amendments creating the Office Of Fourth Assistant
Postmaster General and abolishing the franking
privilege non- concurred in. 1t makes no express
allusion the proposed increase of letter postage.
The House refused to suspend the rules to take
up the bill granting pensions to the soldiers of the
war of 1912.
The Union of Saturday morning says:
"The business of the session yesterday dispos-
ed of with good deal of despatch, and presume
that the appropriation bills will all be finally acted
on and placed in the hands of the President during
this day. There is other business requiring the
ton of Congress, yet, if the working disposition
continues to prevail it will be possible to adjourn at
the time already fxed-at IL o'clock on Monday
next. A great deal may be done in day."
1t was thought however, that the President would
consider it to be his duty to re-assemble the two
Houses, if they adjourned on Monday.

United States Circuit Court.
This tribunal adjourned on Saturday morning
last, after ;aborious and useful session.
On Friday the Rev. G. W. Farabee was tried upon
the charge of embezzling letter from the United
States mail. This letter, it was proved was embez-
zed at Black Rock Postofice, Brunswick, Mr. Fara
bee being the the Postmaster; and it appeared to
be certain that it embezzled by either Mr. Far.
abee or his wife.
Robert P. Dick, Esq, U. s. District Attorney, ap.
peared for the government, and H. w. Miller, ESQ.,,
of this City, and Eli w. Hail. Esq, and A. Empie Jr,
Esq of Wilmington, for the defendant The case was
fully and ably argued on both sides and after lu.
cid charge from his Honor Judge Biggs, the Jury
retired. They remained out, however, but few
minutes, when they returned with verdict Of &C.
quittal. Mr. Farabee proved excellent character
and the Court instructed the Jury that if they were
in doubt as to his guilt innocence, his good char
acter should be considered and he should have the
benefit of it. The opinion of the community mp.
peared to be favorable from the first to the defend
ant.
We cannot in justice close this brief notice of the
Court without referring to the learning and ability
with which Judge Bggs presided, and to the skill,
research and eloquence which Mr.. Dick brought to
the discharge of his duties. The government is
fortunate in having such officers in North Carolina.
Messrs. Miller, Hall and Empie all acquitted
themselves we'll for the defence. 1t is sufficient TO
say that Mr.. Miller fully sustained his high repua-
ton as an advocate; and that Messrs. Hall and Elm.
pie, it being their first appearance here in the fed
eral Court, created the most favorable impression
by their ability and eloquence.
