WASHINGTON, Dec. IA Senatorial eau
Gus held to-day, occupied three hours of It's
session in deliberation upon the House joint
resolution of Mr. Stevens. The caucus was
iyely The radicals severely attacked the
Presidents policy, and Senator Doolittle de-
tended it an able speech. Upon a vote it was
decided by Is to II to strike out the important
portion of the resolution as follows And
until the committees report shall have been
made and finally acted on by Congress, no
member shall be received into either House
from any of the so called Confederate States,
and all papers relating to the representatives
Of said States shall be referred to said com.
mittee without debate. :
The resolution thus modified was adopted by
the caucus and reads as follows:
Resolved by the Senate and House OF hep
resentatives of the United States In Congress
assembled. That committee OF fifteen mem
bers shall be appointed, nine of whom shall be
members of the House and SIX OF the Senate,
who shall inquire into the condition OF the
States which formed the so-called Confederate
States of America, and report whether they or
any of them are entitled to be represented In
either House of Congress, with leave to report
at any time, by bill or otherwise.

The account of this atrocity seems too mon
strous for belief. It is added that the murder

AGAIN AND AGAIN.--Our readers may think it strange that We so often urge upon their at tention medicinal preparation. Area dy have we, for number of weeks. urged the i'm. portance of a supply of Goes Cough Balsam in the house. ready for immediate use. But our excuse is the vast amount of sickness, sor row and death that are the immediate result of sudden coughs, colds and pulmonary attacks {; while thousands of our children are dying from cronp and lung complaints. Time and experi- ence have proved that Goes Cough Balsarn is the most speedy aud reliable preparation ever krown to the world. Like magic it relieves the irritation of the throat. removes the stop pages that prevent breathing in croup, and heals all soreness of the throat; chest and lungs. No man should neglect to supply his family with safe and reliable medicine like Goes Cough Balsam, any more than he should neg feet the supply of their daily bread, It costs but forty cents, and the bottles contain twice as much as those of any other remedy at tue same cost, while in merit it is superior to all others. All drug stores keep it for sale
