New York Dry Good. Market.


The recent heavy failures have rem
dered the trade extremely cautions in
their operations and wholly unsettled
and deranged the paper market, so that
it would be impossible to give the rates
for the very best names. In view of
these circumstances the transactions in
dry goods cannot be otherwise than
limited TO the urgent necessities of the
season, yet the frames of raw materi-
ais and the high cost of labor have a ten
dency to neutralize the effect of other
contending causes, and therefore there
is little disposition exhibited to realize,
unless at full prices for all staple styles
of goods. Meantime small sales are be-
ing made at 15al6c for heavy brown
sheetings at 13al3ie for fine do and
heavy brown shirtings; l23a25c for COM
mon to fine bleached do, and 12al2i for
fancy styles of dark prints.

CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON, January 5.
SENATE.


The senate resumed its session at -
O'Clock. :,
The President laid before the Senate
. communication from the Secretary OF
War, transmitting a statement of the
number of troops, regular and volun-
teer, employed in service against the
Indians. Referred.
Mr.. Terry offered resolution request
ing the President to transmit copy OF
his late amnesty proclamation, with a
statement of the authority by which
he issued it. Mr.. Terry said he offered
the resolution because, although he IA
vored the amnesty, hedoubted the right
of the President to grant it in this
sweeping way, and he wished to have
the question settled.
Mr.. Howard was very glad the atten-
ton of the Senate had been called to
the question. He thought it important
that the people of the United States
should know whether tho President had
such dispensing power as was Implied
in the issue of this proclamation. he
believed the assumption by the Ex-
ecutive of such a power was entirely
unwarranted by the Constitution.
There was considerable debate be-
tween Messrs. Frelinghuysen and Conk-
ling against the resolution and Davis
and Doolittle in its favor.
1t was adopted. ~
Mr.. Wilson introduced bill to amend
the act entitled an act to provide ma.
tional currency secured by the pledge OF
public stocks, and to provide for the
circulation and redemption thereof,
which was referred to the committee on
Finance.
Mr.. Stewart introduced bill to ena-
BILE the people of Georgia to form a
State Government republican in form,
which was referred to the committee on
Judiciary. 1t provides for the repeal
ing of so much of the act of June 9th,
1865, as relates to Georgia, and making
the Government of the State provision
al only, and subject to the act of March
I'd, 1867. All officers elected under the
present proposed Constitution of said
State who are not DISTINGUISHED by the
14th amendment or any of the acts
above mentioned, except members OF
the Legislature, shall continue in office
until the State is fully restored.
1t further provides that such mem
beers of the Convention elected under
the laws of Congress to form a State
Constitution as are not DISTINGUISHED
shall assemble on the first Monday OF
March next with full powers to alter or
amend said Constitution in any manner
not in contact with the laws of Con-
gress and the Constitution. Said State
Constitution as amended shall be sub
mitted to the people at such time as the
Convention may appoint, and on ratiti.
cation or rejection of said amended
Constitution such persons and no
others shall vote as shall be prescribed
in said amended Constitution pro-
vided that no person shall be excluded
from voting on account of race or color.
When said amended Constitution shall
have been ratified by a majority of the
votes, it may be submitted for the con-
sideration of Congress.
The bill for the relief of Sue +. Days,
of Decatur, Alabama, was discussed, but
without action the Senate went into

New York HENS

NEW YORK, January 5.-The Herald
understands that several libel suits
have been brought against Bohemians
who recently have been busily engaged
in this city in eliminating the charac-
ter of some of our grocers and dealers,
and that Hon. Reuben f. Fenton, late
Governor of this State, will bring suit
against ThurlOw Weed for the publica-
ton, in his paper in this city, of the
most atrocious libel.
In discussing the question of natural
ization frauds, the Herald recommends
the passage by Congress of law by
which foreigners who desire to become
citizens of this country can do 80 at
once on simple condition of residence.
Mayor Hall, of this city, yesterday
issued his first general order, which was
to the effect that hereafter the prefix
"Hon." was not to be used in connection
with his name or Office. Communica-
tions are not to be addressed to his
Honor, but simply the Mayor.
1t is stated that the LOBBYISTS at
Washington have recently inaug urated
o scheme which promises to pay them
well, and for their services have al
ready realized q very respectable plnm.
The English advocates of the Cana
dian reciprocity treaty are anxious to
have the old policy revised, are paying
handsomely to those who aid their
scheme, having advanced to the lobby
ring the sum of Sl5, 900 in gold, and are
ready with another iustallment as soon
as it is needed to isluence Congress.
A. B. Matill, Supervising Architect of
Public Buildings at Washington, sends
a note to paper here relative to the re-
cent falling of the walls of Howard
University in which he says: AZ can't
consent to be held responsible for the
failure of the building, more especially
as did hesitate to express my opinion
when the material of which it was COM
posed was first brought to my notice.
that it was utterly worthless for build
ing purposes, and also predicted more
than a year since the rece&t catastro-
phe."

Well Attested Cure OF Catarrh.

DIR. A. p LIGHTHILL-DEAR SR:-YOur
treatment in the cure of my CatarTh has had
the desired effect and resulted in permanent
good to me, although my case has frequently
been pronounced incurable aud had exhaust.
ed all other modes Of treatment, without the
least benefit. My case was so chronic and
troublesome, that by giving a few Of the symp
toms the value Of your treatment can be more
readily estimated. For years had been attlict.
ed with constant cold in the head, Obstructing
my breathing SO as to necessitate me TO keep my
mouth open during sleep latterly the discharges
became sOlidified and impacted in my nose to
such an extent that it required the greatest ex
ertion to eIpel them. Sometimes these hard
ened Jumps would get in my throat, causing me
to hawk and scrape even by the hour to relieve
myself. Ny breath was offensive my memory
became impaired. Dizziness and light headi-
ness made their appearance, and of late symp.
toms of paralysis stepped in, and when place&
myself under your care one side Of my face was
badly affected by this dread disease. Ny gen
eral health suffered alike, there was a constant
tired, drowsy and debilitated feeling, with no
energy to move or act I felt as tired on rising
in the morning as did on going to my bed, my
appetite was capricious and my disposition
morese. In that condition placed myself I'M.
der your care, and am happy to state that all
those disagreeable and dangerous symptoms
have entirely left me, and l once more enjoy the
benefits of good health.
By giving this publicity you will benefit
others similarly affected and oblige me.
Yours truly, JAMES SOMMERYILLE,
