CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.

The morning hour of the Senate was
occupied, on the 9Th, by a personal explana-
ton from Carrot Davis in regard to his re-
cent controversy with Butler.-Freling-
huysen was proceeding to speak on the Ku-
Klux resolution, when, at 4 o'clock, the
Senate went into Executive session and soon
after adjourned.
In the House the Ku-Klux bill is still in
order. Several gentlemen spoke upon it
under the ten minute rule, among which was
Voorhees,, of Indiana, who said he had been
South, and saw peace and order, but upon
coming back to Congress learned that the
country was in a bad condition. He was
followed by De Large, of South Carolina.
He said he represented a district in which
there had been no outrages since reconstruc-
ton. He was perfectly free to admit that
both parties were responsible for the present
disturbed condition of affairs in South Caro-
lima. He was thoroughly convinced that
some legislation was necessary, Dut THIS
would not not be sufficient unless his Re-
publican friends were willing to remove
political disabilities, for they could not ex-
pect those now resting unde them to exert
themselves to preserve the public peace,
when they have nothing to hope for in the
future.-Farnsworth offered to amend by
striking out the section authorizing the
President to direct voluntary enllstments-
He objected to enlarging the regular army.
The amendment was agreed to-yeas, liz ;
nays, S7.-Amid a general offering OF
amendments, Shellabarger moved the pre-
vious question, and proceeded, upon the mo-
ton being seconded, to close the debate His
speech occupied an hour, and many of his
statements were bold and startling. Among
other things, he maintained that the position
of the Democratic party in relation to this
bill was one of conspiracy and incipient re-
bellion.-After the close of Shel1abarger's
speech the bill was passed under the opera
tions of the previous question-yeas, ll9;
nays, 9I.-Adjourned.
In the Senate, on the It'll, the Ku-
Klux bill was received from the House and
referred to the Judiciary Committee.--By
unanimous consent, Morrill,, of Vermont,
was awarded the floor, and addressed the
Senate in a three hours speech against the
San Domingo annexation.-The Senate
then took up thec concurrent resolution from
the House for Joint Special Investigating
Committee on the South. Hill spoke against
the resolution. Casserly also stated reasons
which induced him to oppose the resolution.
The pending question being the House
amendment increasing the number of the
committee to fourteen in the House and
seven from the Senate, was then voted upon,
and the amendment concurred in by a party
vote-yeas, 81; nays, II. The Vice-Presi-
dent then appointed, to represent the Senate
on the Committee, the present Select Com.
mittee on Outra ges-Scott, Chandler, Nye,
Rice, Wilson, Bayard and Blair.-At 6
o'clock, after Executive session, the Senate
adjourned until Monday.

American watches.

Every man who has anything to do
requires a reliable timekeeper. A feel
ing of national pride leads all t. prefer
an American watch. But local dealers
have for several years discouraged their
customers from buying them-and for
this reason only a larger profit could be
made on foreign Watches, and the frequent
repairs Of such matches required a0aS a steady
source of income to the matchmaker. Wal
than watches nave year by year grown
into favor with all who have worn them /;
they have proved not only reliable but
economical, as repairs are seldom need
ed. They, like other standard articles,
are sold at moderate prices, which afford
the retailer but a small profit compared
with that which can be made on other
watches. But they require no urging.
They sell themselves. Hence, wide
awake dealers make this up by keeping
a full stock and selling a large number.
Many dealers now divert their custom
ers from the Waltham to other inferior
watches, and, by disparaging the Walth-
am and recommending these
lively unknown watches, they sell them
for a higher price, and thus secure a
larger profit. We understand that
Waltham watches are furnished to the
retailer at prices which will enable HIM
to sell them cheap and yet makeia fair
profit. Therefore, all intending to5pur-
chase, and who prefer an American
watch, should insist ON having their
preference respected.

New York Notes.


Most of us Gothamites were wofully dis
appointed that the census did not give US
over a million of inhabitants, and disposed
at first to think that our Uncle's enumerators
had missed some figures But
we have pretty much settled down into the
belief that the folks were not at home-that
the million, like the millionaire, has not
come yet. And we see one of the chief rea-
sons why not. We have no adequate facili-
ties for rapid and comfortable transit to the
uppe end of the island, and so the popula-
ton of all the neighboring cities and villages
grows out of proportion to ours. The remedy
is some sort of a road on the earth, or above
it or under it, that will transport us and our
wives and children rapidly and well. Va
rious are the projects. A little bit of a
pneumatic tunnel, which proposes to blow us
up town, if only the leave of the Legislature
can be got, has already been constructed,
and is on exhibition but as yet its builders
lave the right to carry freight only. 1t is
by no means certain that such a mole-like
mode would satisfy the public, if the right
to attempt carrying passengers could be OBJ
tanned. There is also the very melancholy
elevated railroad in Greenwich street and
Seventh avenue, upon which asteam dummy
has lately been placed, and from which the
promoters expect a great deal. But it has
not begun to run yet, and it is very doubtful
whether people will extensively patronize
that way of getting high. Another plan
proposes an elevated tunnel, supported by
iron columns ana arches, the cars 10 De pro-
PEELED by air but we fear its projectors will
not be able to raise the wind necessary. The
proposal which looks most feasible, however,
and which is most likely to be carried out
successfully to a practical result, is that the
city shall build the much needed road.
Many people believe tLat to provide such
necessary c~onveniences for the use of the
citizens is a work prominently appropriate
to be lone by the city, and they point to the
Croton Water Works and Central Park as

tain that several liberal charters have been
granted to private persons, many of our most

What Is IL


Many, many people suffer from they know not what.
They are not sick-they are not well. There is no
name for it. 1t is simply weakness-a breaking down
of the vital forces. Whatever its causes (and they are
innumerable), its symptoms are in the main the same
Among the most prominent are extreme lassitude, loss
of appetite, loss of flesh. and great mental depression.
Indigestion and a stomach cough are also frequently
concomitants of this distressing state of body and of
mind. The common remark in relation to persons in
such a condition is. that they are consuDptive. Now.
what these unfortunates really want is vi0or, t5iGI
strength; and, as certainly as dawn succeeds darkn ess.
they can recuperate their systems and regain health
by resorting to Hostetter's Celebrated Stomach Bit
ters. 1t is as clear that's life revi wing tonic is required
in such cases. as that the dying flame of an empty
lamp requires to be revived with a new supply of oil.
Perfectly pure and innOcuOus, containing nothing but
the most genial vegetable extracts, and combining the
three grand elements of a stemRchic, an Alternative,
and q genial invigorant, Hostetter's Bitters are suit
