Mr.. Stamm, of Milan, has made vehi-
Gle in which the strength Of horse IS re-
intorced by that Of steam, while the steam
power gains in application the advantage
of the horses intelligence, so that both
work together, and are managed as one by
the reins. When the horse moves forward
his traction applies the steam; when he is
pulled up, his backward action shuts it of,
and if vigorously applied, reverses the en-
CINE, which backs as he backs, stops back
ing as he stops, and again starts forward as
he starts.

Congressional.

WASHINGTON, July l2.- HOUSE, Mr..
Julian asked leave to introduce resolu-
ton ordering the Reconstruction Commit
tee to report bill forfeiting the lands
granted to the southern States for railroad
purposes, stating that there were 5,0OO,0 900
acres Of the best lands in the South in the
hands Of rebel corporations, which poor
men, white and black, should have for
homesteads.
Mr.. Wood objected to the introduction
Of the resolution.
Mr.. Julian moved to suspend the rules,
and they were suspended, 95 to IS, and
the resolution modified to embrace only
Mississippi, Alabama, Florida, Arkansas,
and Louisiana, and passed.
Mr.. Butler offered a resolution that the
district commanders be authorized to issue
100000 coupon bonds, at $40 per
cent, to repair the levees at Assumption,
La, which should be q precedent to Louis
iana's admission. He moved suspension
of the rules, but the motion failed.
The Senate reconstruction bill was re-
ported with several amendments, and a
rambling debate ensued, during which Mr..
Logan, of Illinois, said he had no sympa-
thy with any man who went bail for jeff.
Davis. Ifit had been he (Logan) who had
captured Jeff. Davis, he asserted it-and
Mr.. Greeley could publish it-that there
never would have been any trouble in try
ing Jefferson Davis, either in civil or a
military court, except such as he (Logan)
might organize. He himself would have
been the court, and there would be no
Jefferson Davis. He would to-day, if he
had the power, hang Jefferson Davis and
every one Of his Cabinet officers. The
only man in America who had nerve
enough to hang traitors was Juarez.
Mr.. Stevens moved the previous ques-
ton, and the bill as amended passed, and
was sent back to the Senate.
The House took recess till o'clock
at night.
SENATE.-Mr. Chandler called up the
| resolution directing the Committee on
Foreign Relations to inquire how many
Mexican soldiers were executed after cap
ture. He said Maximilian's operations
were part Of the rebellion. Had
it succeeded the decree of October,
1866, Shooting guerillas,) would have
been inflicted on the Union soldiers.
Macmillan signed his own death-warrant
by signing that decree. lie ought not to
have died by the bullet; the officer cap
turing him should have hung him to the
first tree. That this was not done, proved
the MeXicans to be \ chivalrnns pooplo.
The course Of this Government towards
Mexico was cowardly.
Mr.. Johnson spoke favorably Of Maxi
milan.
Mr.. Howard thought Macmillan met q
deserved fate.
The question was then postponed.
Mr.. Wilson offered bill authorizing the
Secretary Of War to raise four regiments
for frontier protection, and appropriatine
s4,5OO,000 for the same purpose.

Whatever the terms and conditions Of

Remarkable Predictions.

Tho following extract, which a writer

which was written in 1919, reads like his.
tory rather than prediction
"Ir it emancipation should ever be
effected it will be through the agency OF
the Federal Government controlled by the
dominant power Of the northern States OF
the contederacy against the resistance and
struggle Of the southern. 1t can then only
be effected by the prostration of the white
race; and that would necessarily engender
the hitterest feelings Of hostility between
them and the North. But the reverse
would be the case between the blacks of
the South and the people of the North.
Owing their emancipation to them, they
would regard them as friends, guardians,
and patrons, and centre, accordingly, oil
their sympathy in them. The people of
the North would not fail to reciprocate,
and to favor them instead Of the whites !;
under the influence Of such feelings, and
impeiled by fanaticism and love Of power,
they would not stop at emancipation.
Another step would be taken-to raise
them to political and social equality with
their former owners by giving them the
right ofvoting and holding public Offices I'M
der the Federal Government. We see the
first step towards it in the bill already al
ludcd TOTO vest the free blacks and
slaves with the right to vote on the ques-
ton Of emancipation in the District [of Co.
lumbial. But when once raised to an
equality they would become the fast po-
litcal associates Of the North, acting and
voting with them on all questions; and by
this political union between them holding
the white race at the South in complete
subsection. The blacks, and the profit
gate whites that might unite with them,
would become the principal recipients Of
the Federal offices and patronage, and
would, in consequence, be raised above
the whites of the South in the political
and social scale. We would, in word,
change conditions with them-a degrade
ton greater than has yet fallen to the lot
Of a free and enlightened people, and
one from which we could not escape should
take place, (which it GER
tainly will if not prevented,) but by flee
ing the homes of ourselves and our an
ceStors, and by abandoning our country to
our former slaves, to become the perma-
nent abode Of disorder, anarchy, poverty,
misery, and wretchcdness."

THE OLDEST OF OLD FoGIEs.-In Paris,
NJ. Mcnard has become SO mutinied with
the spirit of the old mythologies by dint
of their incessant study that in the mid
die of the nineteenth century he has de-
clared himself their champion. Without
fear of ridicule he proclaims the worship of
Zeus, of Poseidyn, and the divine Aphro-
dite. The discrcdit that has fallen upon
the Hellenic polytheiSm is for him only a
proof of ignorance; he maintains the i'm
mortal duration of the gods that the world
has deemed dead. Paris letter IN Nc!T

adults as well as children, and IN certain sections
have proved unusually fatal. These diseases In
variably arise from imprudence in diet, cold, or
excessive heat, and commence their attacks upon
the stomach and bowels In various ways. Loss OF
appetite, sour stomach, indigestion, pains In the
abdomen, and frequent and unnatural discharges,
are the most common symptoms. Whenever any
OF these make their appearance the sufferer can
find instant relief by the use of BAKERS BrTTERs,
the only safe and certain remedy yet discovered
We have known this medicine to be used in hun
dreds of cases for diarrhea, dyspepsia, cholera
morbus, cramp cholic, chills and fevers, loss of
appetite, Indigestion, and general debility, and do
not hesitate to say that 1t has fully established in
almost every instance, the claim to being certain
and speedy cure for each and all of them. For one,
the writer of this has long looked upon these Bit

ease vary greatly in the different stages of the
complaint. Itgenerally commences with sen.
sation of fullness after eating, and changeable,
diminished, or lost appetite. In some instances
the appetite is voracious and when-in obedi-
ence to it's promptings-a large portion of food is
taken into the stomach, pain follows in that re-
gion, with general distress, nervousness, and
nausea. Flatulency and heartburn invariably
attend this disease. For all these symptoms
