nothing more or less than torpid Stupefactl"n,
and Of such nature that all disease Is aggravated
rather than cured, and the patient awakes from
an unnatural rest in worse state than without

THE SoUTHsIDE RAILROAD, we are graft
fed to learn is doing an excellent business.
The completion of the Orange and Alexan-
dria road has taken off a large portion OF the
through travel, but then they were passed
over at such low rates as to be very slightly
remuneratiye. The loss from this source,
however, is more than made up by the
largely increased recei pts from through
freight. Indeed, we are informed that the
receipts from all sources, for the past six
months, over those for the same period OF
the last fiscal year, will reach upwards OF
twenty thousand dollars.-Iet. Int.

SABRATARIANrsM is likely to become an i'm
portart question in the Presidential canvass.
The discussion of the Sunday laws is going
on vigorously in the New York papers, the
Republican press generally advocating the
laws, although the Tribune complains bitterly
of the efforts which are made to DRAW all
loose and reckless pleasure seekers of our
city into an attitude of hostility to the Re-
publican party" -
The German and Democratic papers, ex-
cept the Journal of Commerce, and most oi
the independent papers, denounce the laws
The Times advocates the Sunday laws pom.
derously. The Tribune upholds the laws, bui
complains that the Republican party should
be held responsible for them. It is rather
queer that party paper should advocate
moral laws and then complain because they
turn 'loose and reckless pleasure-seekers'
against the party. One might reasonably
conclude that the Tribune does not want
moral laws at the cost of losing the immoral
Republicans.

WASHINGTON, June lb.-The report made
by the Senate this morning, by Mr.. Mason,
Chairman of the Harpers Ferry Committee,
comprises one hundred and fifty foolscap
pages, exclusive of voluminous testimony.
A full history is given of Browns move
ments and results, and reference is made to
the utter insecurity of the peace and safety
| of some of the States, owing to the excited
condition of the public mind
The rifed carbines, manufactured in Con-
necticut, to be used in the strife in Kansas,
and sent thither for that purpose, were vol
unfairly placed by the Massachusetts, Kansas
Committee, through its Chairman, in the
hands of Brown, with vague and unexplained
instructions as to their use, but the truth is,
it would appear, he finally conceived the
purpose of exciting civil war in some of the
slaveholding States.
This expedition, so atrocious in character.
would have been arrested had even ordinary
care been taken on the part of the Massachn-
setts Committee to ascertain whether Brown
was truthful in his professions. The Com
mittee are not prepared to suggest any legis-
lation which in their opinion would be ade-
quate to prevent like occurrences in future
If the several States, whether from motives
OF policy or desire to preserve the peace of
the Union, if not from fraternal feeling, do
not hold it incumbent on them after the ex-
perience of the country to guard in future by
appropriate legislation against similar occur
rences, the Committee can find no guarantee
elsewhere for the security of peace between
the States of the Union.
So far, however, as the safety of the public
property is involved, the Committee would
earnestly recommend that provision should
be made by the Executive, or, if necessary,
by law, to keep under adequate military
guard the public armories and arsenals of the
United States, in some way after the manner
now practiced at the navy-yards and forts.
The report is signed by Messrs. Mason, Da-
Wis and Fitch.
Messrs. Collamer and Doolittle, the minor
ity in the course of their brief report, say
that there is no evidence that any other citf-
zens than those with Brown were accessory
to this outbreak, nor any proof that any 9th
ers had any knowledge of the conspiracy or
its purposes, in the year 1859, nor does any
evidence show that there was a conspiracy to
rescue Brown or his associates from prison
in Virginia. Time and reflection have hap
PLY dissipated much Of the alarm and suspi-
cion, and have shown that this raid was but
an otfshoot Of the existing outrage and law
lessness in Kansas. They say there is no fact
calling for Congressional legislation.
The United States Agricultural Society has
nearly perfected its arrangements for hoidinp
its eighth annual exhibition at Cincinnati in

The rornnAo Interrrstsd.


A remarkable instance Of the working of
Providence in the recent tornado, is related
in the official report of the business mems
prayer meeting, showing as the relator said,
that
"God moves in a mysterious way,
His wonders to perform"
He said:
The night previous to the recent tornado
a person, who had been for long time back
sliding from God, gave his hand to the
Church, under a gracious influence from
above. The next morning he spoke words Of
warning to his unbelieving partner, and said
that he would return and take her to meet
ing. The same day he became victim to
the violence Of the storm, which swept with
terrific force over the town. The man soon
passed from time to eternity"
The impression Of the relator seems to
have been that the man was restored from
backsliding by q gracious influence from
above, just before the tornado, and then was
taken away by it to prevent his backsliding
again.
This is like the good Catholic who was i'm
plored to help Jew who had fallen through
the ice. The Catholic seized him by the
hand, but refused to help him out unless he
recanted Judaism and embrace Christianity.
The Jew yielded to this powerful means of
conversion, and announced his belief in the
true faith; whereupon the Catholic told him
that if he should help him out he might
backslde, while now he could die Chris
tian; so he showed him under.
Another person related the following i'm
cident, showing that the storm which was
so full of terror was big with mercies
"a person said that it was an { i'll wind
that blew no body good He spoke Of the
recent tornado, and said that the storm had
been the instrument of deeply convicting a
man who was injured by it. The man was
not only suffering from his injuries, but was
also much panied by review Of his wicked

Messrs. Leland & Bros, with unusual mag
nifcence, embracing several features, the
reception rooms being panneled with finely
executed paintings of Japanese subjects.

AT Philadelphia the Japanese Princes were
robbed of their swords, which they had left
in their apartments while they were viewing
the sights from the balcony at the Conti-
mental Hotel. As it is point of honor with
them never to be deprived of these sacred
weapons, and as the only way that japanese
of high rank have of vindicating thsir honor
is by cutting open their abdomens we may
expect that, unless the swords are restored,
we shall soon hear that these Nokamis have
disemboweled themselves on American soil.

papers of this city do not seem disposed to

the South better one, by which they would
be able to recapture their negroes.
