The House, last night, by large majority, refused
to modify the test oath in his favor. The bill for
the admission of Nebraska passed the House; it
gees to the President for approval. Defrees has
been removed from his position as public printer,
and Gen. steedman appointed to that Office.
Dix has been confirmed as Minister to the Hague.
Mr. Rogers, of New Jersey, submitted report
this morning, in the House, as minority of the
Judiciary Committee in the case of Mr.. Davis. He
takes the ground that much of the testimony before
the Committee tending to connect Davis with the
assassination plot, was false, and that he should
receive preliminary hearing, to which every man
is entitled to.
The credentials of Harlan, Senator elect from
Iowa, for six years, from the 4th of March next,
were presented and ordered to lie on the table
This afternoon, both Houses adjourned sine die

. wAsHrNcrowN, July 27.-Mr. Harlan, this af-
sernoon, sent a briefs but courteous note to the
President, resigning the Office of Secretary Of the
interior.
The Senate passed the bill for the admission of
Nebraska; also passed joint resolution so modi-
flying the test oath to permit Senator Patterson,
Of Tennessee, to otake his seat. This requires the
concurrence of the House.
The House disagreed to the Senate amendment
co the civil appropriation, appropriating Sl,5oO-
300 for repairing the Mississippi leyees; also, by
alarge majority, voted down the proposition to in
crease the salaries of Congressman from $50 to
$4,000. The House Judiciary Committee made a
report to-day relative to the alleged completely of
Jefferson Davis in the assassination, wherein they
state that it is notorious that said Davis was guilty
ofthe crime of treason according to the Constitu-
tion and laws, and the Committee are of the opin-
ion that there are no obstacles to a speedy and i'm
partial trial, which can be removed by legislation.

President Lincoln; justifes the Committee in say

have been made by the War department and the
committee have not resulted in placing the Gov
ernment in possession of all the facts in the case
1t is probable however, that there will be further
prosecution of the investigation by the committee
and by the officers of the Government, which will
result, finally, in full development of the whole
transaction. The capture of the rebel archives

WASHINGTON, July 2S.-The Senate has con-
frmed the appointment of o. H. Browning as Sec
retary of the Interior, in place of Harlan. Both
houses remained in session all night. In the
House, this morning, Stevens made speech on
the bill introduced by Hill lately, to restore the
States to their proper relations in the Union; in
which he advocated the principles heretofore set
down by him with regard to equal rights, and de-
claring in favor of giving negroes the same privi-
leges as the whites. The civil and miscellaneous
appropriation bill, after alengthy struggle by

HAN FOUND DEAD.

On Thursday last, our quiet little town became
the scene of considerable excitement, occasoncd
by rumors which had reached here that the bones
of human being had been found in the woods
about two miles above this place So soon as the
Coroner received information that he considered
reliable, he at once issued warrant to the Sheriff
to summon a Jury Of Inquest; and when they as
sembled, he proceeded at once to the spot, when,
to the establishment of all, the bones of man
were found scattered in all directions, for dis
tance of at least fifty yards, around what appeared
to be common centre. We are informed that
evidence was Immediately obtained sufficient to
identify the bones to be the remains of one JOHN
G. GoRLF, of Pickens District, and who it seems,
had been apprehended on Sunday, the 18th ult.,
in the vicinity of Lowndcsville, in Abbeville Dis
District, as a horse thief, and as having passed
through this town on the next day, in the custody
of certain citizens of that District in the direction
of Walhalla, where, as was stated by them as they
passed through here, a reward had been offered
for his apprehension and delivery.
This man GoRLY is said to have been man of
exceedingly bad character; having been regarded
by all who knew him as common thief We
would not at present undertake to say how and by
whom this man came to his death, yet from all
that we have been able to learn, he must have met
with some kind of foul play. And we would state
further, that, no matter what might have been the
apologies that were offered for such summary
proceedings. at the time when many were laboring
under the delusion that there were no law, GER
tainly cannot avail at the present. when our Courts
are now open, and civil authority in full force
We are informed that the Jury of Inquest, after
four days investigation, have agreed in their YER
dict but from prudential motives, it has been sup.
pressed least, for the present. but we are assured
that in due time, we shall be furnished with copy
for publication Suffice it, for the present, to say,
that the officer in charge of The Inquest knows his
duty, and knowing it will discharge it,

SOLDIERS ASSOCIATIONS.

Mr.. EDITOR: The suggestion of ga Sharp
shooter" in recent issue, that the soldiers of the
late Confederate States, in Anderson District,

urday 18th August next, meets with general ap-
proyal. The undersigned take the liberty, under
their own names, of inviting the soldiers of the
District to meet at that time, to form themselves
into Soldiers Association. To keep alive the
friendship of the camp, the memory of our trials
and sufferings for the ''ost cause" and preserve
an enduring record of those who survived the ter
rible conflict, is the end proposed. Can the heroes
of Manassas, Williamsburg, Richmond, Sharps-
burg, Gettysburg, Charleston, Chicamauga, Jones'
boro', Missionary Ridge, and hundred other we'll
fought fields refuse to respond to this call to meet
with each other? Let the roll of the Association,
embrace the name of every soldier in every branch
of the service, and whether he served in the Con-
federate Armies proper, or in the State Reserves,
junior or senior. Let the roll be called once a
year, and every name accounted for; and when it
is called the last time, and there remains not one
to answer to his name let the roll be filed away in
the Clerks office. Such roll can never be made
up complete year or Two hence 1t Will DC lmpos-
sible We respectfully ask all Ministers of the
Gospel to call attention of their congregations to
the proposed meeting.

AN EVENT OF IyTEREsT TO THE LADIES,
we do not pretend TO acknowledge the neces.
sity OF its being so, but certain 1t is that Paris
rules the fashionable world. And so long AS
this is the case, the votaries of fashion will be
subject TO Parlsian sway. 1t therefore becomes
them to know just where they can learn the
latest DEGREES OF the great empire of which
Paris is the undsputed centre.
Mad'le Keough, a lady who has long been
known to our lady friends as the head of
the establishment at No. 904 Walnut street, en-
couraged by the patronage which has been
layshed upon her in the past, has rebuilt and
refurnished her store in the most elegant and
costly style. We doubt If there is in the entire
country a more beautiful establishment of the
kind. The proprietress has likewise increased
her facilities for regularly importing, by steamer
from Europe, the newest ana choicest styles of
hats, bonnets, and all other articles in the line
of fashionable millinery.
Having thus beautided her establishment and
increased her facilities for meeting the wants OF
the ladies, tomorrow Saturday, she will open
ber Mdgdsin 6es Modes PoriSienneS at No. 9O4
Walnut street, and we can well imagine that the
event will create sensation in the fashionable
world
