General Amnesty in Congress.
Every two or three days during the
present session, Congress, either in the
House or the Senate, has had a pow-wow
over the General Amnesty bill, and the
Negro Palace Car Amendment, as it is
called. The latter is the pet measure OF
Senator Sumner, of Massachusetts,, and
amounts, virtually, to giving negroes
precedence in all public places and in all
public conveyances. But as often as the
great men of the nation discuss Amnes-
ty, so often does the bill go over without
action. These great men have not souls
great enough to allow the South even
the ghost of fair chance. A week ago,
Mr.. Chandler, the rich Michigan Sena-
tor-rich and mean-made Characters
tic speech against Amnesty, declaring
that God might forgive an unrepentant
rebel, but that he (Chandler)-a far might
ier power in his own estimation-never
would. He then expressed the humane
opinion that the shooting of two or three
hundred "Ku Klux fellows" would eff
feet great deal more good than the pas
sage of an Amnesty bill, and he warned
the members of that mysterious and
ghostly clan that, after all, they were on
ly paroled prisoners of war, and liable
to be taken out and shot for violation OF
their parole.
And then Senator Sumner mounted
his black, woolly hobby horse and pranc
ed around in manner wonderful to read
of, warning the Senators of his own par
ty that if the Amnesty bill should be
passed and the Negro Palace Car bill re-
iected, the co1ored vote would be so di-
vided in the next Presidential election
as to secure the defeat Of the Republican
party. He announced the fact that the
colored voter was new power in the
land and should be considered.
Of course he should, say we, and the
best consideration that can be paid to
him is to restore the respectable white
people of the Southern States to posi-
ton from which they can control public
affairs in these States, and get rid of the
horde of official thieves who have SO
long been bringing the South to bank
ruptcy and ruin.
1t is not probable that any Amnesty
bill will be passed during the present
session.

symptoms of Catarrh.

Indisposition to exercise, difficulty OF
thinking or reasoi%ng, or concentrating
the mind upon ailJ subject, lassitude,
lack of ambition or energy, discharge
falling into throat, sometimes profuse,
watery, acrid, thick and tenacious mu
cous, purulent, offensive, &c. In others
q dryness, dry, watery, weak orinflamed
eyes, ringing in ears, deafness, hawking
and coughing to clear throat, alterations,
death and decay of bones, scabs from ul-
GERS, constant desire 70 clear nose and
throat, voice altered, nasal twang, often

of sense of smell and taste, dizziness,
mental depression, loss of appetite, indi-
gestion, dyspepsia, enlarged tonsils, tick
ling cough, difficulty in speaking plain
ly, general debility, idlocy and insanity.
All the above symptoms are common
to the disease in some of its stages or
complications, yet thousands of cases an
nually terminate in consumption or in
sanity, and end in thegrave without ever
having manifested one third of the symp
toms above enumerated.
No disease is more common or less un-
derstood by physicians. The Proprietor

THE WORLD DOES NOT CONTAIN a
medicinal preparation which has obtained
more widespread and deserved popu-

notice more than twenty years ago, it has
been constantly used for every kind Of
disease or injury to man or beast which
can be affected by local application, and
so far as it's proprietors are aware, it has
not failed in single instance. After so
long and successful term of probation,
who will have the hardihood to deny its
pre-eminent claims to popular esteem.

THE FAMINE IN PERSIA.


The details which still continue to ar
rive byletter end telegraph of the famine
iiu Persia are almost too burribl. FOR belief.
4 he scenes related by sosepbus as having
taken place during the last days of the
siege Of Jurusalem can hardly parallel
tn ,se which sre described By eye witnesses
as daily ocourrance. The whole nation
70 III, smitten with curse, and ffoD every
part vi the land comes up wal OF despair
and agony that npthing can still but death
Strong men perishby hundreds. Tender
women clasp their intants in their arm and

cunber the streets. The sickening odor
of the decayiug dead taints the air aud
breeds pestilence that hastens the work Of
starvation. Water and food alike are want
ing, and the entire extinction. OF the Persian
nation seems imminent. The heart Of the
world is moved, but a d it fain would
render is neutralized by the vast exteut of
territory over which The suffering is spread
and the total lack Of meuus of transporta
ton.
Persia in ancient times, was one of the
most power ul states Of Asia 1t was re-
moved iOI its advancement in civilization
and for wealth Of its mineral aud agricul

army Of Tamerlan,,, numbering over
million Of men, which marched without
baggage or commissariat, through its en-
tire breadth. Now, it is little more than
an aiid wilderness. The forty million in-
habitants have shIunk te less than ten mill
