dated July 7, says that the house recon-
struction committee had session this
morning, and promptly agreed upon a
bill to be reported on Monday, as fol-
lows:
Section one declares true intent and
meaning of Congress to have been that
provisional governments heretofore ex-
listing in rebel States were illegal and
void, and that they were to be continued
subject in all respects to the military
and the authority of Congress alone.
Section two provides that the act to
which this is supplemental and also that
OF March 23d, shall be construed to au-
thorze military commanders, whenever
1t is deemed necessary to remove or sus
pend any officers, State or municipal
from exercising authority by the virtue
of each provisional government and,
to appoint others to fill their places, and
that such commanders shall also have
power to prohibit, suspend or set aside
my act OF such government, or any sub.
ordinate authority thereof. The intent
of the aforesaid acts being done by such
government shall be continued -subor-
dinate to the military, and all acts done
by such commanders shall be deemed
vslid.
The navy department has received
from commander Roe of the U. s. steamer
Tacony, copy of his communication
to President Juarez soliciting that the
remains of Macmillan might be de-
livered to Captain Pueller OF the Austrian
Covette Elizabeth. The official reply is
not furnished.

ter, aged about five years, had been troubled
with a severe cough nearly two years, first in
Dorchester, Mass, where our doctor attended
her for some time findTghe did not help her,
| procured syrups and other common remedies,
without giving relief. Since came to this city
| procured medical aid, and finding the child
grew worse, so that we really thought she would
die, we sespaired of getting aremedy. At last
q lady friend called in. and assured ms that the
child was troubled with worms, and that the
cough originated from that cause ] admins
tered yeur WORM LOZENGES this morning;
we were astOnished; the child passed over
pint of worms, and some as large as my little
finger. Our babe, only seventeen months old,
ate two Lozenges, and although seemingly
healthy, it passed worm at least eight inches
long. | am happy to say that the little girl who
for five days had eaten scarcely anything, has
good appetite, and is now doing well.
Price twenty-five cents per box, five boxes Tor
