CoNGREssIoNAL,-In the Senate on
Monday, Mr.. Edmunds called up the
Supplemental Apportionment bill, giving
one additional representative to New
Hampshire, Vermont, New York, Pen.
nsylvania, Indiana, Tennessee, Louisiana,
Alabama and Florida
Mr.. Thurman called attention to the
fact that at least two of the States named
Florida and New Hampshire-would,
If this bill passed, have representation
far less than moiety of the population
required for each under the original APP
portionment bill
Mr.. Conkling said he thought the bill
ought not to pass, and suggested that
1t be held over until Senators could ex-
anime it carefully.
Mr.. Edmunds consented, and the bill
went over.
The sudden and unexpected passage of
the tariff bill in the House, on Monday,
was secured by Mr. Dawes offering a res.
olution dischargng the committee of ways
and means from further consideration of
the tariff bill, and putting it on its final
passage under suspension Of the rules.
The move was bold and unexpected but
the members sustained the motion by
vote Of l47 to 60. Among the negative
votes were Messrs. Poland and Willard.
The democrats, with scarcely an excep.
ton, voted in the affirmative.

This funny story illustrates the anoma-
lous relation which Horace Greeley holds
to the several discordant and antagonist
ic elements, upon which he relies for sup
port in his Presidential aspirations
In st. Paul, MINI, there once stood
by itself, in an open lot, church bell on
a frame. The temporary Ichapel REV.
Frederick A. Noble's) for whose benefit
the bell gave forth its tintinabulations,
stood two blocks away, but as it had no
belfry the bell still remained on Fort
street. When it was rung it uttered a
somewhat general and indefinite call to
church, without being able to specify to
stranger, just what place of worship it
was engaged in advocating. 1t answer
ed for all the belless chapels in the vicin-
ity, and in one sense might have been
called Catholic bell, though its tones
were meant to echo the Shorter catechism
One Sunday company of ragged urch-
ms sauntered along that way, and MOTTO
ing the bell, the dirtiest, raggedest scrag-
gedest young customer of the lot spoke
up to companion, and said-"Bill, ]
say, Bill, where's the church to that all
bell ?" And so, as tariff men and free
traders, labor reformers and their oppo
nents, Radical Republicans and Copper
head Democrats do not worship. together
the query is, "Where's the church to thai
air Greeley bell ?"

The Senate is rushing business now
Tuesdays session was % hours and 20
minutes long, ending at half past 10 on
Wednesday, when an adjournment was
effected till 3 o'clock. At the long night
session, besides the kuklux bill, which
was voted on about half:past 4, the civ.
il rights bill and the amnesty bill were
passed, each standing on its own merits.
The former was not the sweeping meas.
ure OF Mr.. Sumner, however, but sub.
stitute offered by Mr.. Carpenter, which
says nothing about juries, schools or CEN.
eteries. Mr.. Sumner was not present
when the bill was passed, but came in be-.
fore the amnesty bill was acted on, and
tried again to get his civil rights bill
tackled to that Failing in this effort, he
voted against the bill, as did Mr. Nye of
Nevada. The bill had already passed
the House, and was signed by the presi-
dent in the afternoon, so that it is now a
law. 1t is supposed that the exceptions
which it makes will cover less than 200
cases, including JEFF Davis and John G.
Breckenridge. The civil rights bill has
yet to pass the lower branch, as has the
kuklux bill, and the success of either of
them is quite doubtful.

diseases. The lower limbs apt to be swollen.
The patient is feeble and cannot bear much exer-
tion. The circulation is irregular but almost al
ways weak Palptation Of the heart is very
common symptom. Violent emotion often throws
the heart into the most tumultous action. The
vital functions are langudly performed. The
muscular strength is diminished; fatigue follows
moderate or slight exercise, The breathing
though quiet whom at rest, becomes hurried and
even painfully agitated under exertion, as in
ming, ascending heights, &c. The nervous sys-

illness and feeling of iaintness are very com
mon. Violent and obstinate neuralgia pains in
the head, side breast, or other parts of the body
are also frequent attendants upon the disease
The secrotions sometimes diminished. In fe-
males the menses are almost always either sus-
pended or very partially performed. The bile is
scanty and costiveness, with unhealthy evacua-

The New York World grows more and
more vigorous and uncompromising in
opposing Greeley's adoption by the demo-
cracy. 1t says among other things
Even Charles Sumner would be less OBJ
jectionable to self-respecting, thinking de.
mocrats; for Sumner was a democrat by
original instinct and early training and
associations. Sumner is not protection
ist Sumner is not an ultra champion Of
the paternal theory Of government he
has not abused and viifed every leading
and representative democrat by whole
sale personal defamation he has had,
what Mr.. Greeley has not, long experience
in practical craftsmanship; he possesses,
what Mr.. Greeley does not, a wide &C.
quaintance with foreign affairs; he is a
gentleman, accustomed to the forms of
society, and fully adequate to the social
duties of any official position he is not a
teetotal fanatic, and would not give a
state dinner, or diplomatic dinner, on
purely cold water principles; he would
observe those courtesies of language tow
SAN SChViCHdH, VIII QlHcT lIOUl ullu
which Mr.. Greeley habitually violates.
But with all these clear advantages over
Mr.. Greeley, Charles Sumner could no
more get democrats to vote for him than
the "eternal devil"
There is curious difference of senti-
ment in the South, in respect to the rati-
ication OF the nomination of Mr.. Greeley
The Greeley fever, instead of covering
the entire country uniformly, breaks out
in spots some of them large spots, too +;
for instance, the democratic press Of
South Carolina, Tennessee and Missouri
is almost unanimously and enthusiastically
for Greeley. The Democrats of Georgia
North Carolina, Maryland Delaware and
Louisiana are for straight Democratic
ticket. That of Virginia Alabama and
Kentucky is divided, The South Car
olinians are quite as dogmatic about the
necessity of indorsing Greeley, as they
used to be in unfolding Calhoun, The
Missourlans are almost beside themselves
with rage, at the idea that any considera-
BILE body of Democrats can contemplate
separate action. The Georgians arc just
as positive the other way. In few
weeks both sides will be cooled off, and
In condition to examine the situation
