XLIst OONGRESS---second Session.
SENATE.

SENATE.
WASHINGTON, March 16.-At o'clock the
Georgia bill was taken up, the galleties being
thronged in anticipation of a speech by Mr.
Revels, the colored Senator from Mississippi,
who had been announced to speak on the sub
ject.
Mr.. Morton, who was entitled to tha floor,
said he would yield in favor of the Senator
from Mississippi.
Mr.. Revels then commenced his remarks,
which during their entire delivery were listen
ed to with close attention by the Senate and
audience.
A resolution was adopted calling on the Sec
rotary of the Navy for information rel alive to
the Oneida and Bombay collision.
A report was made that Mr.. Sheldon was
entitled to seat from Louisiana instead of Mr..
Hunt, and it is to be considered next Wednes-
day.
Mr.. Beamen of Michigan, member of the
Appropriation Committee, made an address
denying the statement of Mr.. Beck that the
expenditures OF the government will reach
near four hundred million dollars. Mr.. Bea-
men stated that the entire estimated amount
for expenditures for the current year was only
$500, 101 ,433 The expenditures for 1868 exclu-
sive of interest and principal of the public
debt and the premiums paid on trersury notes
amounted to $2299S1 ,088. The expenditures
for 1869, with like exceptions, amounted to
$190, 1876 ,354. The expenditures for the first
half Of the current fiscal year, ending 31st of
December, 1869, with like exceptions, amount
ed to $87 ,216,969. Mr.. Beamen further pro-
ceeded to show the actual expenditure for the
current fiscal year would be only $166 1872 379
being 1858 ,682 200 less than those of 1868, and
1924, 268, 976 less than in 1869. and adding to
this the payments on the public debt, $128, $780,
&c. and the total would only be 1924 823, O54.
Mr.. Beck of Kentucky, replied, reiterating
his assertion of last Friday that the total ex-
penditures of the current fiscal year would be
$500 900 O00 and repeated some figures to prove
his assertion.
The subject was then laid aside and the def
cheney bill was passed.
Mr.. Logan, from the Committee on Military
Affairs, reported that in the case of Mr.. But
Ter of Tennessee, the committee had arrived at
the following conclusion: First, that on the
2lst of February, 1869, Mr.. Butler recommend
ed the appointment of Augustus G. Tyler,
son of Gen. Tyler, to the West Point Acade-
my. Second, that Tyler was not a resident of
the LIST Congressional District of Tennessee.
Third, that after the appointment was made
the agent or attorney of Gen. Tyler had given
to Mr.. Butler $500, and that Mr.. Butler had
received it with the avowed intention of using
it for political purposes in Tennessee. The
committee express the opinion that the con-
duct of Mr.. Butler in appointing a non-resi-
dent of his district and subsequently, accepting
money from Gen. Tyler, deserves the condem-
nation of the House.
Messrs. Stoughton, Negley, Packard and
Asper recommend the adoption of the follow
ing resolution. Here our dispatches are cut
short.

Remarks. The movements in wool have been

all desirable lots of fleece firm at previous prices
and are not disposed to meet the market any con-
cesslons The safes have been in small lots want
ed at quotations.
The New York market fer all descriptions contin-
ues quie but the stocks being small holders insist
upon full prices Owing to the scarcity and high
prices demanded for domestic fleece, pulled has late
ly been attracting more attention, and the better
qualities have realized very full prices.
The Philadelphia market is reported yerv firm and
stocks, particularly OF fine woods, are now reduced
to very low figure. There is less inquiry from the
manufacturers, but holders are demanding full
prices.

WARRINGTON.
SENATOJ, pEUETc Ac AM on ATOP

WASHINGTON, March 16.-The galleries of
the Senate Chamber to-day were crowded and
all its approaches were thrOnged to hear Mr..
Revels. He spoke from position near the
centre of the hall. Almost the entire audience
in the galleries rose with the first word in Or
der to obtain view of him. He read from
manuscript, at first in rather low tone, but as
he progressed he acquired entire control of his
delivery and lost the embarrassment which at
first was apparent Senators in their own
seats and members of the House and others on
sofas listened, as did the entire assembly, with
marked attention, and were favorably impress
ed both with his dicton and manner. On the
conclusion OF his speech Mr.. Cameron was the
first to congratulate him, and in this was fol-
lowed by Messrs. Drake, Sumner, Stewart and
Fe nton and number of others.

Ayers Cherry Pectoral
For Diseases of the Throat and Lungs,
such as Coughs, Colds, Whooping
Cough, Bronchitis, Asthma,
and Consumntion


and Consumption.
Probably never before in the whole history Of
medicine, has anything won so widely and so deeply
upon the confidence Of mankind, as this excellent
remedy for pulmonary complaints. Through long
series OF years, and among most Of the races of
men it has risen higher and higher in their estma.
ton, as 1T has become better known. Its uniform
character and power to the various affections
of the lungs and throat, have made it known as re.
liable protector against them. While adapted to
milder forms Of disease and to young children it is
at the same time the most efectual remedy that can
be given for incipient consumption, and the dam
gerous affections of the throat and lungs. AS pro.
vision against sudden attacks of Group, it should
be kept on hand in every family, and indeed as all
are sometimes subject to colds and coughs, all
should be provided with this antidote for them.
Although settled Consumption is thought in.
durable, still great numbers of cases where the dis.
ease seemed settled, have been completely cured.
and the patient restored to sound health by the
CHERRY PectOral. So complete is its mastery
over the disorders of the Lungs and Throat, that
the most obstinate of them yield to it. When moth.
ing else could reach them, under the Cherry Pee
forat they subside and disappear.
SINGERS and Public Speakers find great pro.
lection from it.
Asthma is always relieved and often wholly
cured by it.
bronchitis is generally cured by taking the
Cnerry PecfOraI in small and frequent doses,
For Cough and Cold, no better remedy can
be had. Take small doses three times O day and
put the feet in warm water at night, until the
disease is broken up.
For Influenza, when it affects the throat or
lungs, take the same course
For IFhoopis0 Cough, give small doses three
or four times day.
For Group, give large and frequent doses until
the disease is overcome,
NO family should be without the Cherry Pecto-
ras ON hand to protect them, in case of attack,
from tne above complaints. Its timely use often
spares tne patient great amount of suffering and
FISK winch he would incur by waiting until he
could get other aid. Parents keep in your houses
lor tne exlgencies that arise. Lives dear to you
may be saved byft. ~
90 generally are its virtues known, that we need
not publish certificates of them here. or do more
tnan assure the public that the best qualities ever
possessed are strictly maintained.

The storm which ragged SO violently in New
York Wednesday morning, of which we had
brief account by telegraph, reached here in
the afternoon, beginning in slight fall of
rain, followed by moist snow. 1t then ceased,
but the wind increased gradually, and about
o'clock last evening the storm began again,
and as we write, at IL IL o'clock A. NJ, the
weather is fearful, with the promise of be-
ing the hardest storm of the winter. The air
is thick with binding snow, and the wind
is heavy from the northeast. Westward, from
appearances, the storm is very violent. One
by one the telegraph wires on the Western
Union line gave out, and no communication
was had with Boston after IL o'clock, and
shortly after midnight the operator concluded
that the only remaining wire had been pros
trated, and closed the Office. This will ex-
plain the meagreness of our dispatches.
At late hour last night Officer Decelle dis
covered that brig lying at the head of Com
mercial wharf was beating heavily against the
wharf Her jib-boom was carried away, her
bulwarks stove in, and her sides were badly
chafed. The wharf was also considerably
damaged. Several other vessels in the harbor
were threatened with injuries, and we fear
that we may have a considerable number of
disasters to record.
