XL1st O0NGRES5--Second Session.
SENATE.

WASHINGTON, May 16-The bill granting
public lands in Alabama to the Decatur s.
Alabama Railroad was passed.
The bill granting lands to aid in the con-
structon of railroad from the western boun-
Diary OF Minnesota, at the junction of Sioux
the Winnipeg district of British America was
passed.
Mr.. Casserly's amendment, putting the price
CT lands at an average value of So 30 per acre,
and prescribing method of keeping the land
open for settlement, which was identical with
the formula proposed by the House Committee
on Public Lands for all bills of this character,
was rejected-20 to q.
Tae Senate then laying aside the legislative,
appropriation aud franking bills, took up the
bill to enforce the 18th amendment.
Mr.. s 'ewart submitted an amendment, pro.
viding that when any person Ineligible under
the third article of the 14th amendment shall
hold Office, except member of Congress or of
the State Legislature, the United States Dis
trict Attorney for the district in which said
person holds Office shall proceed against such
per"On by quo aUdrrdntO, and such writs shall
take precedence over all others on the dockets
of the United States Courts to which they are
made returnable.
sect ms, imposing fine and imprisonment for
the holding of Office in violation of the 18th
amendment, and forever dsqualifyng the Of
fender from holding Office under the United
States, and giving to all persons within the 1ur-
isdiction of the United States, Indians not
taxed excepted, the same rights in every State
or territory to make and enforce contracts; to
sue, give evidence, and to tie full and equal
benefit of all laws and proceedings for security
of person and property as enjoyed by white
citizens; also to be subject to like pains and
penalties, taxes, licenses and exactiOnS OF
every kind, and none other; and no tax or
charge to be imposed by any State upon any
person emigrating thereto. n'he civil rights
act of 1866 is also re-enacted.
Mr.. Vickers made an argument against tho
power of Congress to pass the bill.
Mr.. Thurman followed in opposition to the
bill.
Mr.. Ferry moved to amend Mr.. Stewart
amendment by striking out the section to en-
force the 14th amendment, imposing penalty
on any person ineligible thereby who know
ingly holds Office under the United States.
Mr.. Morton opposed Mr.. Ferry's proposition
which he declared subservient of every prin,
ciple Of justice and a cruelty to the country.
Mr.. Ferry replied that Senator Morton had
entirely mistaken his position and the charac-
ter of his amendment. as he had simply moved
to strike out q superfuOus section, and the
purpose of such was substantially contained in
the preceding. Mr.. Ferry continued in a
speech on the general subject of the removal
of political disabilities in the South, advocat-
ing liberal policy as both wise and expedient,
after which the Senate went into executive
session and then adjourned.

II the Editor of the Press.
Having recently made trip from New York
to this city by the Dir:go, by the New York
Ste ship Companys line, allow me through
the medium of your columns :, express the
surprise and qualification I have experienced
in lecoming acquainted with this superior
rou', between the two cities. The Dirigo has
been ret emily refitted and reprinted, is most
beautifully and comfortably furnished, and
sets most excellent table; while the officers
are unremitting in their attentions, though at
the same time they do not neglect their du-
ties. The sail is most delightful one, and
particularly during the Summer season must
prove most attractive to travellers who dislike
the heat, dust aud annoyance of railway trains
besides the inconvenience of changing cars at
unreasonable hours. 1 would most heartily
recommend the line to the public.

srected the upper part of the house, they pro-

Mrs. Moody's ankle turned and she was pre-

the cemented floor at the bottom. The edge
of little gutter, built to carry off water, came
in contact with her head just above the lett

Of her head, neck and shoulder were badly
