In the United States Senate on the 18th
inst. a vote was taken on the amendment
of Mr.. Williams of Vermont, which
proposed to strike out thst part of the
Bingham proyisO ordering the election in

The Washington correspondent OF the
New York Tribune says: " The vote
was very close, and much interest was ex-
hibited in the result. But for the delay
in the announcement, during which sew
| eral Senators who had been absent returned
to the chamber, the result might have
been different, and certainly would have
been had there been full Senate" On
the contrary, the correspondent OF the
Cincinnati Gazette (RadicaD says: "lf
the Senate had been full, last night, ct the
| time when the vote was taken on Will
liams' amendment, there would have been
four or five majority against it.

GEN. STONE, who served under Gen.
Mcclellan during the late war, has entered
the service of the Viceroy of Egypt aud
sailed from New York for Alexandria on
the 16 inst. -Four other officers who
served in the Northern army sailed for
Egypt last week, and about dozen Con-
federate officers have gone there. The
agent of the Viceroy is making regular
shipments of breech loading rifles, and has
recently made new contracts. The agent
of the Turkish government remains here
attending to purchasing and forwarding
arms, principally muzzle loading rifles,
and there is a rumor that he has closed a

A WASHINGTON dispatch says: "ThOse
seeking ssction towards the partial recon
struction of Tennessee do not insist on
going farther than to pronounce the
Legislature Illegal, on the ground of frauds
in allowing those not citizens to vote,
blanks having been circulated by thou
sands TO be filled up With the names of
persons whose hands might they reach. >
1t is notorious that registrars appointed by
Brownlow were guilty of issuing certif-
Gates in blank. That was the way cleo
tons were carried under Radical rule, and
those Radicals who are now seeking the
overthrow of the State government, think
that because Senter belonged TO their
party, he had appointed registrars who
had learned the Radical tricks.

uOw UNCLE SAM'S MONEY GOES.

HOW bNCLE SANS "ONEG eEOk.Ss
More developments are being made as
to Radical management of government
funds. This time Senator Pomeroy, of
Kansas, is involved. The Washington
correspondent of the Cincinnati Gazette
says: "a short time ago the Secretary
of the Treasury sent a communication to
the House in answer to resolution ask
ing how the appropriation of $780, 900
made when slavery was abolished in the
District of Columbia, to enable all those
emancipated, who desired it, to emigrate
to Liberia or some other point, had been
expended. The letter gave a detailed
statement, and closed with a note saying
tina: of the amount expended, all had
been accounted for by the several disburs-
ing officers, with the exception of $685.
600 advanced to S. c. Pomeroy, which
amount still remained to bis debit I'M
accounted for. 1t now appears
that when this letter came out,
Pomeroy lacked the vouchers
for over IS, 600, and the latter had been
running along since the fall of 1862. To
square up the case, he filed his own affi-
davit, setting forth he .had expended the
funds as directed by Mr.. Lincoln. This
paper is now under consideration in the
Treasury Department Senator Pomeroy
says, after he had contracted for ship
and supplies to take oolored people to
Ichrigny, Seward came down on the en-
terprise with heavy hand, and obliged
him to stop operations. Pomeroy then
claims that Mr.. Lincoln told him to pay
off the damages to the contractors on the
best terms possible, and get out of the
adventure. The result was that not a
single emigrant got out of the country,
although every dollar of the S25, 600 got
out of the Treasury"

MIR. JENCKEs, of Rhode Island, the
other day, in introducing a bill in the
House of Representatives to amend the
patent and copyright laws, made reve-
lstion in regard to the treatment of AmeTi-
can authors which will be considered as
any thing but complimentary by them, at
least such as have been laboring under the
hallucination that their works were placed
in some conspicuous place to be admired
by every body who visits the national
capital. He has discovered that in the
Denartment of the Interior there IS a Sc
nulcb1e in which forty thousand books
are entombed. The room in which they
are stored is accessible only by Chamber
ING ND a narrow staircase, and over an
arcbway. The room has no daylight,
and If the books are TO be examined it
must be by candle-light. These books
have been consigned TO this literary tomb
os a result of the provisions of the copy
RIGHT laws now in force. This law re-
ouires that a person wishing to procure a
DOWNRIGHT must send copy of his book to
the clerks Office for transmission to the
Patent Office. The books thus transmit
ted have been deposited in the lumber
room above described, where many OF
them still remain in the original packages

In his testimony before the Recon
struction Committee, Secretary Fletcher
said:
"Two churches were burned in AIadi-
son county six weeks since, and third
was attempted because it was said; The
church is in a loyal neighborhood. The
Hon. j. Mullins is my informant.
The jackson Wing says: snow no
two churches have been burned in Madi
son county within six weeks, or six
months-or for that matter within six
years. If all the churches that are in
loyal neighbOrhoods' in this county, were
burned, there would not be one left stand
ing-for we have no neighborhood which
is not loyal to law and order"

THE COLORED MANS FRIEND.

Inc MAI ysNiiIe ALCiIUOt6COtftJ Cul1Ou ny
a colored man, in the truly loyal county
of Blount, East Tennessee, says sit is an
unquestionable fact that most of the peo-
pie contemplated in that change of the
Constitution (the Fifteenth Amendmeht
are as much slaves Today, to the Radical
party, as ever they were any kind of
slaves in their lives before. With very
few exceptions we believe that Radicals
would prefer the return to the old slave
system at once unless they can be masters
of the colored mans vote.
We do not know of any case of evil
treatment of any sort whatever to colored
citizens in one neighborhood, or of one
citizen against another, Or of ''Rebel" or
Ku-Klux injuring the colored people.
This, be it remembered, is the voice of
an intelligent colored man, living in Ten
uessee, in the midst Of Radicals, and who
speaks from an intimate acquaintance
with them.

NEGRO EQUALITY.

At the Fifteenth Amendment celebra-
ton in New York, letter was read from
Senator Sumner, of Massachusetts,, in
which he says:
81 do not think the work finished so
long as the word white is allowed to play
any part in any legislation so long as it
cOnstrains the courts in naturalization
so long as as it rules public cOnveyances
steamboats, and railroads; so long as it
bars the doors of houses taxed by law to
receive people for. food and lodging, or
licensed as places of amusements; so long
as it is in our common Schools"
As soon as Senator Sumner gets his
party up to his line he takes another step
forward. Having obtained for the negro
all the political rights which sre enjoyed
by any white citizen of the United States,
and more than are enjoyed by a great
many of the whites of the South, he now
makes a step towards social equality. He
does not wish the word white to constrain
the COul Is III udluIdlLdlIOu. IlG ldNOIS
the naturalization of the native of Hotten-
tot, Timbuctoo and Dahomey, upon the
same terms with the European. He in
sists that the negro shall be admitted upon
equal footing with the white man or wo-
man to the STEAMBOATS, and railroads, to
the hotels and boarding houses, to the op-
era and theatre, and to the common
schools. This is bold step for Mr.. Sum-
ner to take, but he is fanatic enough to
do it. VIII his party follow him in this
crusade for the glory and grandeur of the
negro, or will they stop and demand that
there shall he some legislation looking to
a reduction of the enormous taxes which
are so heavily expressing the people? 1t
cannot be that the people of the North
will permit the important questions of
finance, tariff and taxes to be much longer
overshadowed by the dark cloud of

IT is stated in New York paper that
nothing has yet been learned of the
whereabouts of Bailey, the defau)tlng
revenue collector, aud that there does not
seem to be much anxiety as 70 his cap
ture. 1t is suggested as probable that
Bailey's arrest would lead to the conyic-
ton of accessories at Washington and in
New York. The administration fears to
arrest him. He is probably in New York

EVERY political economist who has
studied the operation of taxes placed on
income has arrived at the conclusion that
it is one of the most immoral methods of
deriving public revenue ever invented.
For, in the very nature of the thing
taxed, every taxpayer must be made his
own assessor. Any public device which
places before every citizen an inducement
to perjury, is an immoral device.

bers of that body in regard to the opera
tions of the Ku-KluX in the Southern

for murders and other crimes, we need
not go to the South to find them. They
are at our doors. They are in our city by
scores and hundreds. They are in our
State-as witness the terrible ten-days'
records from Ithaca and its rural neigh
borhood. They are in New England, and
in the very heart of New England. They
exist everywhere, quite as much as in the
South. They are in Ohio, which ex-
ponds $4,000, 600 a year on common
schools. No section is free from
crime; and to punish whole sections of
country for vices committed in any one
section, is simply partizen, unstatosman-
like and brutal.

Medical treatment has been revolution
lied, and at last the discovery has been
made that RENOVATION, NOT PROS
TRATI0N, is THE TRUE MEDICAL
PHILOSOPHY. The introduction of
PLANTATION BITTERS, pre-
pared with pure St. Croix Rum and
Calisaya Bark, opened the eyes of the
world to this great fact. The life-sus-
tanning principle embodied in this great
Vegetable Restorative is manifested in
the weak and responding by an immedi-
ate and most encouraging change. Il
the appetite has failed, it is quickened;
if digestion has been painful and imper-
feet, it becomes easy and thorough; if
the liver is torpid, it is reused and regu-
lated; if the nerves are relaxed, they are
strengthened and restrung; if the brain
has been haunted by morbid fancies, they
are put to flight and hope and cheerful
ness return. In the face of the extraor-
binary cures of general debility, dyspep-
STA, biliousness, constipation and mental
dependency, wrought by Plantation
Bitters, no practitioner not in league with
death and the undertaken could persist in
it. The terrible evacuents which were
once prescribed as the Spring and Sum-
mer medicines, have utterly lost their
prestige. The sick willnot take them,
and Plantation Bitters, in which are COM
bined the clements of stomachic, an
invigorant, a mild laxative, nervine and
an anti-bilious specific, reign in their
stead. Sold by all Druggists.
