sorH CONGREsS--iST SESSION.
SENATE,

WASHINGTON, July 20.
Mr.. Edmunds introduced a bin TO pre-
vent courts from being used as means
fori the persecution of loyal citizens.
Referred to the judiciary committee.
The bill to protect the revenue, with
amendments, was reported from the
finance committee.
A long debate and explanation ensued
upon the fact that the appropriation for
the mission to Portugal was eXpunged.
Remarks we've made condemnatory of
Minister Harvey's course in writing a
partizan letter, and as an Offset the dis
patch of Gov. Brownlow to the Clerk Of
the Senate yesterday, in which Brown
low says "Give my respects 10 the
Dead Dog Of the White House" was
read as being parallel to the remarks in
Harvey's letter about the action of Con-
gress.
The House considered the joint reso-
luton for the admission of the Tennessee
delegates.
Mr.. Boutwell, opposed the admission
Of Tennessee without enfranchiSing the
freedmen, and said by 50 doing the House
was surrendering up four millions Of
people; surrendering the cause of JUS
tiCe; degrading itself and the great
party which has controlled the country
in the most trying time in the history of
the world.
Mr.. Highly said he would vote against
it because the constitution of Tennessee
conferred suffrage only on the whites,
and also because she would be admitted
with the same number of Representa-
tiyes she had before the war whereas
she should have only the number en-
titled under the constitutional amend
ment.
Mr.. Bingham closed the debate, urg-
ing the adoption of the resolution and
replying to Mr.. Boutwell,, and claimed
Tennessee was as much entitled to rep
resentatiOn to-day as any State in the
Union. The vote was taken, yeas l25,
nays T.. There was considerable laugh
ter on all sides when Mr.. Stevens voted
aye. The result was greeted with great
applause on the floor and in the gal
leries.
Mr.. Stevens offered a joint resolu-
tiOu that when Congress adjourn, it
adjourn to meet again on Saturday, the
first day Of December next, unless soon
er convened by the President, or joint
call of the presiding officers of both
Houses, who are hereby authorized to
exercise that power in cases o. emer-
genCies.
The Speaker submitted the question
to the House, whether the above should
be entered as privileged question.
Several members debated il. Mr. Ste
yenS said his object was to go fix it that
by 50 adiourning Congress could control
the action of the President,
By vote OF 81 10 81 the House de-
cided to entertain tnr resolution refused

sg~ At the Cape of Good Hope the Hotten-
tots have long used BuChu for variety OF dis
eases; it was borrowed from those rude prac-
titioneTs by the English and Dutch physicians,
whose recommendation it was employed in Eu-
rope, and has now come into general use 1t is
given chiefly in gravel, chronic catarrh of the
bladder, morbid irritation of the bladder and
urethea, for female weakness and debility, for
prolapsus and bearing down, or prolapsus uteri,
diseases of the PROSTATE gland, retention or in
confluence of urine and all diseases requiring
the aid of diuretiC arising from loss of tone
in the parts concerned in its evacuation. 1t is
also recommended in cases of dyspepsia,
chronic rheumatism, cutaneous affections and
dropsy. To cure these diseases we must bring
into action the muscles which are engaged in
their various functions. To neglect them, how
ever slight may be the attack, it is sure to af-
feet the bodily health and mental powers. Our
hesh and blood are supported from these
sources. Persons at every period of life, from
infancy to old age, and in every state of health,
are liable to be subjects of these diseases. The
causes in many instances are unknown. The
patient has, however, an admirable remedy in
"Helmbold's Fluid Extract of Buchu," and
when taken in early stages OF the disease none
suffer to any extent. 1t allays pain and infiam-
nation, is free from all injurious properties,
pleasant in its taste and odor, and immediate
in its action. 1t is the anchor of hope to the
physician, and was always so esteemed by the
late eminent DR.. Physic. The proprietor, with
upwards of thirty thousand unsolicited certi-
hcates and hundreds of thousands of living wit
nesses of its curative properties, accumulated
within fifteen years, has not been in tie habit
ofresorting to their publication, he does not do
this from the fact that his remedies rank as

A DELEGATE TO THE PHILADELPHIA
CONVENTIONAL correspondent of the
New York Times says:
81 am glad that you made a reserva-
ton in your recent editorial on the Phil
adelphia convention against the partici-
patton In its proceedings of such men
as Fernando Wood. Nevertheless, l see
that this noted copperhead is made
delegate from the 9th district of this
state and city, by the democratic organ
ization. And what is more surprising,
man by the name of V. K Stevenson,
an uatoaShea rebel from Tennessee, is made
the alternate delegate of Wood from the
same district. This fellow was in the
quartermaster's department of the So
called Confederate service. He was
probably as false to that as he was to
his own government. His profits in this
position may have been invested, of late,
in city property in the upper Congress
sional district. But this would scarcely
give him patent to represent the dis
trict at Philadelphia"
Many "unwashed rebels" from the
South will probably be made delegates
to the convention, and we see no impro-
priety in Wood or Stevenson sitting
with them.

place in search of fruit. They break
branches from the trees, deface the

Horrible Cruelty.

The Washington correspondent of the
Boston Advertiser says
General Howard has received volumi-
nous reports concerning the crueltes
practiced by Mrs. Henry Abrahams of
King Williams county, Virginia, upon
her servants. The matter came to light
through investigation set on foot about
month ago. The reports show that
ON the second of June a freed girl named
Martha Anne, aged Il, was brought to q
hospital at Richmond. The surgeon
states that there were upon her body
seven ulcers, ali the result Of burns, and
all produced within two or three weeks.
The largest was nearly two inches in
diameter In addition to these her en-
tire body was almost covered with scars,
some old and some covered with recent
scales some the result Of burns, and
some the result Of whipping. She had
been so abused that she was scarcely
able to give expression to an intelligent
idea. The Investigation made before the
Judge Advocate at Richmond proved
that this monster, Mrs. Abrahams,
whom half the lawyers of the city vol
unteered to defend, has within the last
few years been the cause Of the death of
four of her negro servants, An extract
from the report is subjoined:
Lucy Richardson mother of the Girl
taken TO the hospital, has been made blind
Of one eye ANA has been SCARED in the
throat with hot iron. Five of the
children of said Lucy Richardson,
named Martha Anne and Mary Ellen.
twins, aged sixteen, George aged nine,
Francis, aged eleven, and Robert aged
seven and half years, have on many diff
ferent occasions each Of them been placed
in nude state before the fire until their
backs were actually brOiled, and then
whipped with birch rod on the back
until II was raw, when strong salt and
pepper water was rubbed on and they
were whipped again. Francis died in
February, 1865, from injuries received at
the hands Of said Mrs. Abrahams by be-
ing stamped upon. The children,
while being tortured, had their feet and
hands bound, and were bucked 10 keep
them from struggling or resisting. The
house would be closed while they were
being burned and whipped, but then
