CONGR ESS.

The "Loan Bill" after having been defeat
ed in the House, was recon1idered, amended,
and again passed on the oath. The funding
clause was so amended that within the next
six months, the Secretary OF the treasury Is
given the power to fund slo 100000 of Legal
tender notes, and 81 900, 0O0 for each month
thereafter.
The President. as was anticipated, sent
back to tho senate on Wednesday with his
veto, the civil rights bill The consider
alton of the subject has been postponed tic
Monday 1t is thought the bill Will pass
over the veto by the requisite two>thiris'voie.
The Bankrupt bill was defeated in the
House Oh Thursday, by 20 against 80. A
reconsideration was carried, bu; 1t is not be
lieved the bankrupt bill can paSs tie present

The Second Veto.

President Johnson has vetoed the socai'ed
civil rights bill,'-the twin measure of tie
Freedmen's Bureau bill. aud open to the
same class of objections. The objection to
this as to the former bill, are based on con-
stitutional grounds, and really 90 TO the root
of the whole radical reconstruction system.
1t necessarily separates the President and the
majority in Congress as wide as the poles
assunder, and places reconciliation between
them out of the question.
The veto message, which of course our
space will not permit today to publish,
exhibits this bill as involving the most fla
grant devices Of overriding tue reserved
rights of the states in their legislative and
Judicial tribunals ever attempted in Congress.
Indeed, the President shows it to be mess
of unconstitutional denominations from begin
ing TO end. His analysis of its details. is SO
keen and searching that no candid man can
read ii without feeling conyit ton that the
country is most fortunate in having . man
endowed with the jud s.ment, discretion and
uncommon courage Of Andrew johnson At
its head

Connections Election.

The game by which the republicans carrie l
the election three weeks ago in New Hamp-
shire with loss. however, Of some 1000
votes lon last years election.) was the pre-
teuce that there was no difference between
them and President johnson, and that the
Presiden. desired the election of the j.epub>
lican ticket in Connecticut, which elects
its State officers mex. week, and where an
exciting canvass is now in progress, the re-
publieans have attempted the same game.
They nominated an out-and-out radical az
their candidate for Governor, and in their
convs ntion resolutions attempted to carry
water on both shoulders by endorsing both
Cong tess and the President; and they have
imported orators from Washington, like John
Sh erman, to persuade the people that Con.
gress| and the President are beautifully har-
monibus. The game, however, has been
spoiled BY the President himself. Mr.. Cleve-
land, Postmaster at Hartford, who supports
the democratic candidate for Governor, ten
dered his resignation to the President on ths
grou1 Id that, if the President desired the
elect pn of tn. republican candidate for Gov
ernor, he (CleYelaed) was no longer of his
party and did not desire t, hold Off ce under
him. The President refuses to accept the
resig hation of Cleveland, approving his action
in su bporting the democratic ticket, which
stands on platform approving the Presi
dent'I policy, in preference TO voting for the
republican candidate. who stands on plat
form endorsing the radical majority IN Con-

Health Hints for ih> Season,

Keep the children's feet warm and dry
during these cold and wet days. BY doing
this, many severe attacks of disease may be
arertsd. Do not let the children play out OF
doors without being sufficiently protected
about the shoulders and neck.
Avoid any change to lighter garments until
the weather is fully warm and settled. BE
especially careful Of laying aside your Han
nels II you are uncomfortably warm for a
fe hours, it is better to endure it than to run
the risk of severe cold. while Ties. sudden
change, in the weather are taking lace.
If those who are subjected to rheumatism
or predisposed to pulm mary disease would
wear fannes all the year round, it would be
greatly - their advantage.
The garments that are worn next the skin
should he change! abolt twice each week.
Most PEOPLE change only once, bu, it Is best
to renew the clothing before it becomes sat
urated with secre,ions of the skin.
Be careful to have all clean clothes well
aired and throughly dried. 1t is extremely
injurious to wear damp clothing, especially
FIR an invalid.
The cleansing and using disinfec;ing
agents to purify the air Of our houses, is of
the utmoIt importance. Draper says: 1t
is very Important that the cellar of every
he properly dried and ventilated during the
years wherI the epidemic disease are raging"
This may be done "by placing a small stove
II it, i'll which fire should be kept contln-i
ually. If The cellar is long, it would be we'll
to place the stove at one extremity and pass
the pipe through the whole length of the
apartment"
Next ia Importance to the puri6cat.on Of
our streets and houses" says Draper, sis
proper attention to the condition of the skin
and the g aracter Of the food. Every Que
should wash the whole surface of the body
every day, or at least twice a week. In these
general applications, soap should not be used
more than once week, for it is not desired
to remove the oily secretions too often, but
merely wal h OF the salts that are excreted
SO freely III the form Of per.piration during
the warm weather."
'.The greatest care should be taken," says
the same authority, Sin the purchase Of fruits
and vegetab les-tiey IRE rarely fsesh and the
best have been generally plucksd or gathered
two or three days before they reach the table
and il would perhaps be best TO AVOID their
use a.togsthsr and adopt bread and meat
diet, to which tea or coffee is added"

GovERyMgxr ParSrIyG.-Mr. Latin, mem
Der of Congress from New York, and Chair
nan bf the committee on Printing, IN a
speech in the House On Monday SAID the
Go7erh ment of the United State uses one
thirteenth of all the printing paper used in
the United States, and tina, the Government
expenditures for printing is one twelfth o.

States in fact the United States Government;

The quality used by Congress were made, i,
would have surer effect in reducing the

MANY manufacturers have heretofore dis
continued their business at Ottawa and es.
tablished themselves at other points. for the
sole reason that their customers could not
afford 10 order from here for lack OF trans
portation north and south. Mr.. Sanford, the
great candy manufacturer, now ut chicago,
nigh, be mentioned as an instance in point.
The manufacturers of agricultural imple-
ments now doing business here, our foundry
men, the Starch Company, and others, labor
under great disadvantages for want of railroad
communication north and south.
We say, then, to the Hydraulic Company,
if you would secure to yourselves q sure
return for your Investments. give your lnfiu-
ence and your money, if necessary, TO help
along the railroad enterprise also.
In addition to furnishing means for ship>
ping the products of our manufacturers north
and south, the proposed road would compete
with the. Rock Island road for freights to
Chicago, and Ottawa merchants might hope
to be able to ship freights from this point to
competition can be furnished in no other
way. With not half of the natural advan-
tages that Ottawa possesses, La Sale and
Peru have distanced Ottawa in manufactur-
ing. and solely lecaus, of the existence of
the Illinois Central Railroad.
The wonder is, that the people CT Ottawa
and the railroad companies have not been
sufficiently alive to the Importance of the
Fox River Valley road long before this time.
1t is indeed true th..t partial survey was
made with view OF locating q road on the
west bank of Fox River some years since !;
a charter was obtained from the Legisla,
ture, but for some reason or other the road
was not bailt. The time has now come,
however, when this enterprise appeals to
interests too vast to be any longer unhsed-
ed, aud we are glad that it is so.

These sre some of the eporm.ties of the

partisan power in contempt of the written
constitution, and in open violation Of the
historical opinions and traditionary faith of

ASSASSINATION OF LIScoLS.-A week ago
a man named Sterling King was arrested and
lodged in Jail at Louisville on charge of
horse stealing. After few days imprisOn-
ment ne became "sof," as the Louisville
Courier expresses it, and confessed to another
prisoner that he was one of the conspirators
engaged in the assassination of Presiden.
Lincoln He claims to have s}ot the Presi-
dent himself and to have n ,de the attempt
on the life of Secretary Seward. All Booth
had to do with it was to hold his horse in the
rear Of the theatre. After the assassination,
he SAYS, he and Booth rode off to Maryland
together. He also says that he and Booth
escaped to Cuba, and that Booth is at Havana
now. He gives names, da es, circumstances,
&c, SO infinitely, that it is almost impossible
to disbelieve him. On the confession becom-
ing known, Maj. Gen. JEFF c. Davis called
a. the Jail to see King. who ag,in confessed
that he WAS one of the conspirators, &c.
Gen. d. tel graphed the fact, to Washington.
The day after making this confession, KING
attempted to Kill himself by opening his
veins with penknife. Thc Louisville Cour.
Ter says:
1t is believed that King, who is shrewd
vagabond and has been in both armies during
the late war. has been arrested by tbs Cons
federate authorities and tried as spy, and
who served a sentence with ball and chain
in the Newport Barracks for swindling the
United States Government, is now giving out
this information in order that he may get
into the hands of the military authorities,
whom ne knows cannot make case against
him, and by SO doing he will get out Of this
horse stealing difficulty. He is indicted in
Cincinnati on two charges of horse stealing,
| it is reported that several other charges are
ready to be brought against him.
