ferred, including the following to pro-
vide fer the enforcement OF judgments
in the lawful money of the United
States; to regulate the civil service; to
amend the internal revenue laws so as
TO relieve the people of the late insur-
rectionary States.
Mr.. Sphinx, of Dakota, offered reso-
lutlon in favor of such tariff for revenue
on foreign imports as will incidentally
protect domestic manufactures, and
without imposing revenue, impose the
least burdens upon and best pro-
mote and encourage the great industrial
interests of the country.
Mr.. Kelsey objected, but the House
seconded the previous question.
Mr.. Wood moved to table the resolu.
ton. Negatived without division and
the resolut ion adopted.
The resolution was copied yer batim
for the National Democratic platform
of ISIS.

tending the time of the withdrawal OF

Mr.. Hooper offered a substitute i'm
posing an additional tax of one cent pei
gallon for every month after the first IN
the year.
Mr.. Prosser hoped the Government
would not exact "a per cent interest in
that way, thus discriminating in favor OF
foreign importers.
Mr.. Hooper remarked that foreign
| liquors and merchandise kept in bonded
warehouses one day over one year have
to pay ten per cent. on duty, and tina,
the duty on imported liquors is two
dollars and half in gold.
Mr.. Beck argued in favor of his Owl
proposition, ard against the Govern
ment charging any interest.
Messrs. butler, of Massachusetts, and
Covode sustained Mr.. Beck's PROPOSE
ton.

ter left with the committee on Ways
and Means, 10 be provided for in the

of additional int est, bnt not the ruin

insurgents, on the line of railroad be.
tween Puerto Principe and Neuvitas, a
few days since. The insurgents were
driven off with loss.

cipe are coming within the Spanish lines,
and several of the most prominent in
surgsnts of the Puerto Principe region
have asked permission of the Govern
ment authorities to surrender. The
Captain General has been consulted, and
the insurgents will come to Havana d.
rect, instead of going to Puerto Principe.

tions from the Rhode Island and Vir-
GINA Legislatures, the former ratifying
the Fourteenth and the latter the Four
teenth and Fifteenth Amendments. he
ferred.
lIr. Sumner introduced bill to en-
force the amendment to the Constltu-
ton, declaring that the right to vote
shall not be denied or abridged on &C
count of race, color or previous condl-
ton of servitude.
Mr.. Stewart offered resolution,
which was agreed to, requesting the
Secretary of State to furnish any in
formation in the Department as to what
legislation is necessary to effect the ad-
ministration of justice and protect the
American interests in China and Japan.
Mr.. Howard called up the joint reso-
luton authorizing the Northern Pacific
Railroad Company to issue its bonds for
the construction of its road and to secure
the same by mortgage.
Debate ensued upon the amendment
reported by the committee on the "a
cific Railroad as the means of making
up the deficiencies in the amount OF
lands granted by Congress and to extend
for ten miles on each side Of the road
the limits within which the lands may
be selected.
Mr.. Harlan opposed the bill upon the
ground that the railroad had now a suttl-
Gent amount of land, and that the rea'
sons for further increase were not
sufficiently clear.
Mr.. Howard explained that the Com
pany wanted authority to mortgage not
only their line of road, but the lands
belonging to them under their charter,
aud that the deficiencies caused by
homestead and presumption settlers
should be made good to the Company
by their taking up lands within ten
miles of their present outer limits. Az
one O'Clock the bill was laid aside and
the funding bill taken up.
Mr.. Sherman, chairman of the Finance
committee, delivered a lengthy speech
in explanation of the bill and in sup
port of it. ;,

move to recommit the bill, with instruc-
lions to the committee.

DISEASES OF THE KIDNEYS AND
BLADDER.

Persons unacquainted with the structure and
functions of the Kidneys cannet estimate the
importance Of their healthy Gctton.
Regular and sufficient action of the Kidneys
is as important nay, even more so, than Iegu.
larity of the bowels. The Kidneys remove from
the Blood those effete matters, which if permit
ted to remain would speedily destroy life. A
total suspension of the urinary discharges will
occasion death in from thirtyslI to forty-elght
hours.
When the Urine is voided in small quantities
at the time, or when there is disposition to
Urinate more frequently than natural or when
the Urine is high ooored or scalding with weak.
ness in the small of the back, 1t should not be
tritied with or delayed but Koskoo should be
taken at once TO remedy the difficulty, before a
lesion of the organs takes place. Most OF the
diseases of the bladder originate from those of
the Kidneys the Urine being imperfectly Sc
GREETED in the Kidneys, prove irritating to the
Bladder and Urinary passages. When we recol.
lect that medicine nevsr reaches the kidneys
except through the general circulation OF the
Blood we sec how necessary 1t is to keep the
Fountain of Life Pure.

aupreuei Court Decision.

Supreme, Court Decision.
The Supreme Court to-day, in the
captures and abandoned cotton case
from the Court of Claims, decided that
the people of the United States were
not called on to determine for them
selves when the war of the rebellion
closed, but that August 20, 1866, the
date of the Presidents proclamation de-
claring the fact, was deemed conclu-
sion of the question.
The Oneida sunk.
The State Department. has received a
dispatch from Minister Motley at Lon
don, stating that the British steamer
Bombay collided with the United staes
steamer Oneida near Yokohama and the
latter went down. One hundred and
twenty lives are reported lost.
Mississippi.
A general order from the headquarters
of the army states the Fourth Military
District has ceased to exist; and by di-
rection of the President the State of
Mississippi is attached to the Depart
gasgt Of the Cumberland, Brevet Major
General Cooke commanding. This order
is necessary consequence to the admls-
sion of Mississippi to representation In
Congress.
The Omcers Of the Oneida.
The following is list of the officers
of the Oneida as itiappears on the books

Edward P. Williams; Lieutenant Com
manders, William F. Stewart aud Alon'

Georgia.
The Senate Judiciary committee has
not finally determined on the report in
regard to Georgia. Another meeting
will be held next Wednesday and re-
port is expected to be made then. lti'
understood that the committee will
recon- mend the acceptance of the Legis-
lature, notwithstanding certain irregu-
Iarities in its organization. The ques-
ton which two of the four alleged SEN
ators elect ought to be admitted has
not been decided by the committee and
probably will not be covered by the re-
port.
The Public Debt Statement.
The public debt statement will be
issued tomorrow. The expenditures on
account of pensions within the past few
days have been very heavy, but general
indications favor a slight decrease.
Official notifications from all the States
which ratified the Fifteenth Amend
ment are not yet received, which ac-
counts for the delay in the official proc
lamation.

New YORK, February %.
To-day was one of marked Importance
in the bear campaign on Wall street.
The movement was assisted by popular
feeling for q lower gold premium and
the general distrust occasioned by the
break in gold. The bulls suffered Sc
verely, and many swell operators were
cleaned out. Events to-day have COM
pletely demoralized all speculative
movement for rise. This was 80 clearly
seen, in fact, that every time the mar
kets rallied, the bulls were free sellers.
The day closed with very little recov-
cry from the lowest point. The next
move for lower prices will be on the
basis of a drain of currency to the inte-
rior for spring settlements, always made
in the Middle and Eastern States on the
first of April. The banks have COM
menced losing currency much earlier
than usual, which is accepted as mean
ing the interior much more power in
currency than the general announce
ment. The following is the official
