will be hailed with JOY by all those seeking a
pure and invigorating tonic; also, those who
need pure, pleasant and refreshing stimuant
will find in tho Ell Vino Catalina or Browns
Catalina Wine Tonic, what they want. 1t will
be remembered that importatlons were made IN
1866 of this noted brand, but in consequence OF
the high duty then demanded by this govern
ment, the enterprise ceased, to the regret OF
thousands who had learned its value. 1t Is the
oldest tonic in the world, and doubtless the most
nvigorating, the purcst and best, and II lmpor,

take its place in every family in this us well Us
in the old countries Its merits will make 1t a
household article, and we hope that every one
who has ever used any Bitters or common patent
tonic, will Mt least try one bottle ofthe Catalina,
and then decide for themselves whether they
will use this Tonic, prepared from the pure
juice Of the Catalina grape, WIFE CHllsaya anu
the spices of CeyloR, or bltters made OF COM
mon whiskcy and bitter field herbs. This Is an
invaluable preparation for weakness ard dcbill-

will prevent it if taken freely in time.

From WASHINGTON.

The JOINT High Commission are said to have
concluded their work, though no Injunction
is givensas TO what they have agreed on.
The Kuklux bill, which passed the house on
the 18th, was referred to the Senate judiciary
committee and reported back on Monday with
an amendment slightly modifying the power
OF the President to suspend the writ of AaJeaS
corpus. Unexpectedly Mr. Trumbull made a
strong speech against the bill, denouncine
such Legislation as unconstitutional and reyo-
lutionary. Yet it Is expected that the bill
will pass the senate with some slight modif-
cation.
Senator Morrill,, of Vermont, stunned the
senate on the eth by making a strong and bit
ter speech against the presidents pet scheme
Of San Domingo annexation
The senate has agreed to the house resolu-
ton to appoint a Joint committee of Ia rep
resentatives and Z senators to investigate
the condition of the southern states during
the adjournment of congress.
Tho house, on the 14th, by the votes of 80
republicans and "a democrats, passed Buffers
amnesty bill, by which al! disabilities are re
moved from the people of the south except
members of congress who left their seats at
the breaking out of the rebellion, officers of
the army and navy of the L. S. who joined
the rebellion, and members of southern con-
ventions that passed ordinances of secession

Our Senator.

Although our people have unbounded con-
fdencc in the capabilty and fidelity of our
representative in the state senate, and believe
him eminently the right man in the right
place, it is pleasant to note that he is appre-
ciated away from home. The Chenoa Times,
radical paper, whose editor has been spend
ing vacation at Springfield, writes home as
follows:
1t is worthy of note, and must be gratifying
to the citizens of Livingston county, to know
that they have such able representatives as
Messrs. Strevell and Reddick and allow me to
say here, that Mr.. Reddck, although a dem
ocrat IN politics. shows no signs of political
opinion; but his entire aim, and the height of
his ambition seems to be to carry out the
wishes of his constituents. and promote the
interests of his people. He seems ever to be
mindful of the iavors bestowed by his repub-
lican constituents at the polls at the last No.
vcmber election. Mr.. Reddick is, in every
respect, man Of the people.

Illinois Legislature.

The action of the Illinois Legislature dur
ing the past week has really amounted to
nothing, the whole time having been spent
in attempts by the Springfield state house
ring to force the passage of the appropriation
to continue the work on the new state house.
and by the opponents of the measure in
filbustering to stave off a vote. The oppos-
ing parties are so nearly balanced, though the
state house men have a small majority. that
neither party can act in defiance of the other
Then the "ring" persistently oppose any other
legislation until the state house appropriation
is passed, while the opposite party refuse to
Weld an inch. The proposition to pass the
appropriation, and then submit the question
to vote of the people whether it shall 60 into
effect, was veted down.
The senate, having long ago disposed OF the
exciting question, has about done up all its
other business, and is ready to adjourn.
The state house ring having abandoned all
nope of carrying their appropriation at this
session, have agreed to resolution to ad-
journ on Monday, their programme being to
have the Governor call an extra session in a
month or two to act on the state house ques-
ton alone. when they hope to be able to pass
their appropriation. The senate doubtless
will agree to the resolution to adjourn on
Monday.
Fuller's railroad bills-regulating railroad
fares and the transportation of grain on rail
roads-have both been approved by the
Governor, and are now the law.
The senate on Thursday concurred in the
house resolution to hold session of the
Legislature next winter at Chicago.
Two Chicago architects-Heatieda and Boy
ington-have examined the walls of the
new state house as far as constructed, and
unite in the opinion that they will have to be
taken down on occount of the poor quality of
the mortar in which they are laid

nation, with the intention of building that
road as a continuation of the Fort Wayne
road to Ottawa, stirred up considerable inter-
est here and on Wednesday afternoon quite .
number of our leading citizens met at the
Clifton Hotel, to consider what Ottawa ought
to do to forward the project twas decided,
first, to take steps to make preliminary sur.
vey the route from Kaukakee to Ottawa
and secondly, to place Ottawa in communi-
cation with tbs authorities of the great rail.
road corporations named to ascertain what
else Ottawa can do in the premises. The result
of this last step has been, we understand, that
Ottawa is informed that the Rock Island
company very naturally isaverse to building
the "cut-off' ut all, but the Pennsylvania
Central is pressing it, and itthe road must be
built, the chances are decidedly that it will
connect with the Rock Island road at Ottawa |;
yet if Ottawa wants sure thing Of getting the
read, all she needs to do is to grade and tie it,
when there is no doubt the coordination"
will cheerfully finish, stock and run It.

Quite sensation prevails in Chicago in refer
ence to the shooting of DR.. Sc.nlnnd, Of that
city, by his wife's brother Mr. P. A Leonard, q
clerk in the post Office. Scsnland had ill.treated
his wife, leading to frequent remonstrance on
the part of the brother, whom Scanland finally
threatened, it is alleged, SO that the brother. on
Monday evening, shot him in self defence The
case e1cites considerable interest in Ottawa. as
both Mr.. Leonard and his sister Agnes, the wife
of DR.. Scanand, formerly resided here and are
well known to most of our citizens.
