What Next!

The House of Representatives have
passed a bill reported by the Military
Committee, of which Thad. Stephens
is chairman, authorizing the construc.
ton of railroad between Pittsburg
Penn, and Cumberland, Md The
State of Pennsylvania, for good and
sufficient reasons, in her estimation
would not permit the construction oil
the link necessary to connect Pitts
burg and Cumberland She had q
right to do this, and the government
of the United States has no constitu
iional power to interfere But what
do Mr. Stephens and the men of his
class care for the constitution Hav
ing assisted to roll it up and put il
away during the war, they are unwill.
ing to recognize any provision OF it
now which comes in conflict with their
desires and purposes.
The passage of the bill referred to
by majority of twenty-eight is q
very strcng indication of the tendency
TO Capitalization which has taken hold
of the minds of Legislators If the
people do not rebuke this state of
things, our system of government
win be completely changed, the States
robbed of their rights and privileges,
and the federal government become q
despotism

The Senate Committee on Commerce,
on the 9Th inst, as we learn from the
Washington correspondence of the
Cincinnati Gazette, reported upon the
bill some time ago passed by the House,
regulating the privileges of pilots, etc.
They recommend numerous changes
The first section. which is the most i'm
portant one, as modified by them, is as
follows:
Be it enacted, that if any engineer or
pilot licensed In pursuance OF law by
an Inspector or b ard OF Inspect rs, shall,
10 the hindrance of commerce, wrougfully
or uureas nabiy refuse 90 serve as such on

such refusal, If the same shall be demand

Two HARD CoUNTIEs.-It is stated-with
what correctbe ss we are not able to say
that in the counties of Madison and Hum
phreys there is no man who can vote under
the franchise law, and consequently there
are none to make Registration Commission
ers. Commissioners could be sent in from
other counties, but if there are no voters
they are not needed. Still, both counties
elected Representatives to the Legislature
under the former franchise law. The pres
ent law is more to the point.-KnOzUiiC
Wing.
Nevertheless there are in each OF
these counties hundreds of men as
warmly attached to the Union and
fully as loyal, in all respects, as any Of
the Legislators who voted for the fran.
chise law. The fact that they are dis
franchised does not prove that their
counties are "hard," but that the Jaw
which deprives them of the right Of
suffrage is oppressive and iniquitous.

One of the incidents of the confer
ence at Augusta, Ga, last Sunday, be-
tween Gems. Steedmau and Fullerton
and the freedmen, was rather divert
ing Gen. Tillson informed the colored
brethren in a brief speech, that he had
been severely censured for his course
relative to the refusal of the city author
ties on a recent occasion to permit
them to decorate the graves of Federal
soldiers buried in the city cemetery
He explained to them the reasons
which had prompted him to side with
the city authorities, maintained that
he was right, and appealed to his
hearers for their opinion. THOSE who
believe l was right will hold up their
hands" Out of the hundreds present
only few held up their hands. Those
who think the contrary will hold up
their hands" Up went about the same
number as before. The General took

the suspenders, a piece of rope, or q
strip Of bark, in an emergency, can be
used; and a gun, umbrella, walking
stick, limb of tree, an axe. or hoe
helve, can be made to answer as tour
niquet to tighten the bandage. Then
saturate q piece of cotton batting,
sponge, a lock of wool, or anything
that will hold the fluid,
with the antidote, and sponge the bite
with it, and bind it to it, keeping it wet
with it, until a cure is effected, which
will be done in an hour, and sometimes
instantly. If practicable a cupping
glass ought to be applied, and the anti
dote should be placed upon the blister
but as bites usually are inflicted upon
the fingers or toes, or among the ten
dons and bones of the wrists, ankles,
or protuberances of the feet and hands,
the process of cupping is frequently
impossible.
will only add that the antidote is so
complete that FIVE drops of undiluted
poison from the fangs of rattlesnake
mixed with five drops of the antidote,
and inserted in a wound with syringe,
was ascertained by actual experiment
to be as harmless as ten drops of water.
