From WASHINGTON.


WASHINGTON, June 8, M.-The new City Coun-
ell is organizing in secret but stormy session. A
row of some kind occurred inside, causing half
dozen policemen to obtrude OH the secrecy of
the session, by jumping into the windows. 1t is
impossible to obtain details of the trouble.
LATER.-The Register, an oath of some
Judges that illegal votes were cast in the Fifth
Ward, gave certificates of election to the Radi-
cal candidates majority to that party.
Mayor Walach gave certificates to the Demo-
Gratis.
Each party elected presiding officers of each
Board and when the Council met i'm Joint ses-
sion,-the two Presidents being prescnt,-:mid
intense excitement, the Radical President de-
clared Brown elected, and he was sworn in under
noisy protests from the Conservative President
and members.
Wallach has locked the Office of Mayor and
matters are progressing very noisily.

The Prescription in Texas.

wel-krown German citizen, at present in
Washington, but whose family resides in Texas,
has handed us a letter recently received from his
wife, from which he allows to make an ex-
tract After giving graphic account of the de-
VISITATION of the late terrible hail storm, the wri-
ter says:
az know not, my dear husband, what to advise
YOU to do in this great emergency. wish to
have you near us, but the rebels are very bitter
against you, and many have stated that you
would be killed if you dared to return; and
siuce the news of the failure OF the impeachment
they are very defiant and eXulting. Yon cannot
return to us (this see plainly unless you come
under the strong protection of the Government
The rebel papers have been abusing and vilify
ing YOU for several months past. How will all
this end? The Northern people cannot realize
our condition, or they would rise up naasse and
drive out or exterminate every rebel in the land.
Nav God bless and protect you until we meet, is
the prayer of your sad but devoted wife"
This is but one of scores OF letters received by
lis. filled with accounts of rebel outragcs in the
Southern States, especially in those portions OF
the South where inadequate means are taken to
protect the lives of loyal citizens. We are as
sured by the gentleman who handed US the letter
from Which we have made an extract, that since
the depaI ture of General Sheridan hundreds Of
brutal and cold blooded murders by rebels have
TAX en- place in Texas alone, and are continuing
to occur under the present military administra-
ton of the 5th military district Washington

MIDNIGHT DISPATCHES.
From Washington.

WASHINGTON, June 6, P. M.-The Senate, on
yesterday, in Executive session, rejected Gen.
Geo. B. Mcclellan, as Minister to England, and
confirmed Alfred T. Lacy, as Collector for the
first Revenue District of Louisiana.
The Conference Committee on Arkansas agreed
to the original House bill, with the additional
stipulation that any alteration in said Consitu-
ton, prospective in its effects, may be made in
| regard to the time and place of the residence of
voters.
The conference report on the Arkansas admis
sion bill will certainly be adopted in the House.
on Monday.
But little interest is taken in the Tax Bill. It
is the positive opinion that it will not pass this
session, though a special bill, reducing the
Whisky and modifying the Tobacco Tax, is re-
garded certain.
Schenck's Bill, which he regarded complete
machine-one section depending upon another,
and imperative unless adopted as whole, is
already torn to pieces. Its consideration will
probably end by striking out the enacting clause.
Funding the seven thirties delays the debt
statement 1t will show a reduction of seven
millions.
The Customs for theweek ending the thirtieth,
were nearly three millions.
The Committee does lot seem disposed
to disturb Woolley in his prison.
Gorham has announced that he will make no
changes in the Secretary's office.
Sherman's bill relative to United States notes
legalizes and makes valid gold contracts, which
may be made hereafter. An amendment striking
out the word thereafter" was lost, and the bill
passed the Senate, on yesterday.
WASHINGTON, June 6, P. M.-SENATE-Gor-
ham was sworn in Secretary.
The Omnibus admission bill was resumed, and
an amendment including Alabama was discussed
all day.
Mr. Morton said that he had changed his mind
about the danger of the defeat of the bill, by in
GLIDING Alabama, and should vote for the amend
nient.
The debate was scattering-mostly confined to
the record of opposing Senators on negro capac-
ity Without vote on the Amendment, the Sen
ate adjourned.
The conference report regarding Arkansas,
was received and after Executive session, ad
journed.
HoUsE.-After unimportant business, the Tax
Bill was resumed and considerable progress
made but the attendance slim and all i'm
portunt points were held in allegiance.
The Conference committee on Arkansas
ported. but on motion to table the report, no
quorum was voted and the House adjourned to
Monday.
From New York.
NEW YORK, June 6, P. M.-Callicott, Wright
aud Allen sentenced to-day, in accordance
with the verdict. The crowd immense
and scene impressive. The convicts were men of
standing, who had defrauded the Government of
immense amount of whisky tax.
Markets.
NEW YORK, June q, P. Motion dull at 391a.
Money easy 3@4.
BALTIMORE, June 6, P. M.-General markets

The Omnibus Bill, IS it is called, to admit
all the Southern States to representation
with the exception of Virginia and Texas.
was under discussion in the Senate last
week, having passed the House, and it was
expected that the final vote would he taken
yesterday. The discussion in the Senate was
mainly as to whether Alabama should be in
cluded, that State not having cast for her
Constitution, as was then required, major
ity of her registered vote
Texas and Virginia are not yet ready, and
therefore net included in the bill.
Tried by any test North Carolina is en-
titled to admission. First, she has the best
Constitution of any of the States. Second,
she has preserved her colored vote unit tor
the nation, and she has cast for her Consti-
tuition larger white vote than any other
State Third, she has given for her Consti-
tuition and for her Republican State ticket a
majority of her registered vote. These
facts are understood and appreciated by
our friends in Congress, and our State, if it
had been deemed proper to separate her
from the others, would have been admitted
ere this.
There will be no difficulty in inaugurating
the new State government, after the bill
shall have passed the Congress and become
a law. Persons chosen to Office who are
banned, and who supported the reconstruc-
ton acts in good faith, will be relieved of
their disabilities and enter on their duties.
Persons chosen to office who are banned, and
who did not support those acts, but, on the
contrary, labored to defeat them, and thus
to perpetuate strife and disunion, can not
expect to be relieved Some mode will be
adopted in due time to fill vacancies thus
occasioned.
The fundamental condition, proposed to
be imposed on Arkansas, will be disposed of
by the committee of conference of the two
Houses by the time the Omnibus Bill is final
ly acted on, and there will, therefore, be no
DELAY on that account IF this condition be
adopted it will be applied to all the States,
but if it should fail it will not be applied to
any. The States will go in on the same
footing.
If the bill should be perfected by the two
Houses and go to the President by the 18th,
and if he should retain it ten days. that
would mark the 22d as the day from which
the ten days would begin to run, at the end
of which the State officers are to be inaugur-
ated. 1t is, therefore, quite probable that
the new State government will be Inaugural
ed on the 4th day of Jniy.

The people are still suffering in this and
other Southern States for lack Of food H.,
effects OF the war remain with us still and,
as IN all ages, the poor and innocent suffer
more than the wealthy and vicious. who pre.
cipitated the war. Yet Justice will be
done. We have an abiding faith that in
the end all things will be we'll. The Sc
we're lessons of economy taught by poverty
ana iamlne, are working in the minds of the
poor and weak a revolution of feeling
against those who have so often deceived
and oppressed them. Out of the depths
North-Carolina will come more loyal in
heart and more independent in mental and
material resources
IT. Is true that the war was the primary
cause of the suffering. But after the war
was ended those evil leaders who fought it
to the bitter end, continued to retard and
impede the restoration of good government,
sowed the seeds OF discord, and the poor
are now reaping the harvest of poverty and
want. 1t is enough to make those starving
thousands rise up and invoke Divine wrath
upon the heads of their betrayers.
And to add further to the misery, since the
late election employers have actually resort
ed to system of slow starvation,-a kind of
torture for political purposes unprecedented
in the history of the world. That in Amer
lea, where all men owe allegiance to gov
eminent which tolerates freedom of thought
where education is general and churches are
to be found in every village, that one portion
Oft he people should thus be oppressed and
starved by the other. while all look on with
cold eyes and few with pity, is astonishing
and lumiliating. The enormity fthe crime
is not fully appreciated. This nation will
have to pay the debt of suffering by other
pangs as piercing and keen, when the wick
ed instruments of this woe will be powder
ed by the iron hand of God-but now, men
go on and starve and Cypress their fellow
beings for base purposes, and no one is found
to raise his hand to protect the defenceless.
Yet vengeance is with the Lord

men who have held high positions, who
preach and instruct, and who aforetime have
led the people, who belong to the Church of
Christ, and in all outward semblances are
Christians-here, in country and city, these
men have commenced a crusade against the
life of the poor, withholding work, money
and food, thus evoking famine with all the
dread diseases of the body and the pangs of
soul which follow in its path. The state
ment seems incredible But innumerable
tongues have related the story in the ears of
God and man. 1t is undeniable. 1t is un-

The Terrible Hail stormin Texas.

The San Antonio Express of May 81 gives the
following particulars of the late disastrous hail
storm:
Our city is a perfect wreck; every house In
it has received some damage; many IRE in com
plete ruins, with nothing but fragments o. walls
standing. The hail-stones penetrated I'll = best
roofs, going through tin roofs like balls. All the
windows facing to the north have been smashed
in, even window shutters and doors were broken
down. The appearance of the city could not
have been worse under a severe bombardment-
Trees are stripped of their leaves and branches,
which lie piled up in the yards and strcets-the
sides of houses exposed to the hail have the ap-
pearance of having withstood thousand dis
charges of grape and canister The roofing of
the entire city is perforated like sieve.
The hail stones were of irregular shape and
all sizes, as if a mass of ice had broken above
our devoted heads, and driven by tornado to
the earth. One hail stone was found weighing
over five pounds, while great many as large as
mans fist were picked up.
Many of the families whose houses were beat
en- down took shelter under beds and tables, and
one death, negro boy; several had limbs bro
ken and were severity bruised, while the whole
population was frightened almost to death.
The damage is of every character, and S5OO,-
600 will not cover it all. Roofs were destroyed
and windows broken in, household furniture
was entirely demolished in some houses, and IN
many stores the damage was great.
General MasOn's residence was unroofed ana
his family exposed to the nclement storm. b t
the most distressing picture Of all are the habi-
tations OF the poor people, their houses battered
in, household goods destroyed, and their little
gardens ruined.
The corn patches and gardens are fattcned to
the ground and have the appearance of having
passed through chopping mill. All the fruit
cropis destroyed.
The storm rcsembled a terrific battle, the
lightning flashing in fearful viyidness, the thun-
der crashing like thousand cannons, and the
hail falling like shot; so fearful was the noise
that no one could hear unless they screamed in
each others Never in the history of this
city, never in the memory of the Oldest inhabi-
tant, was just such storm experienced.
We learn that the hail storm commenced eight
miles this side of New Braunfels reached only a
from five to twenty miles in Notwithstanding
everything over a region thirty miles from north
to south aud ten to twenty miles from east to
