amendments to the postotfice appropria.
ton bill. The first important amend.
ment reached was that doubling the
service and subsidy for carrying the
mails between San Francisco, Japan
and China, on which the Committee on
Appropriations recommended concur
renee. After a stormy discussion, in
which the amendment was advocated by
Messrs. Garfield and Sargent, and op
posed by Messrs. Holman, Morgan and
Randall, the latter alluded to the infu.
ences which were at work for the ap
preparation, characterizing them as
disgraceful to Congress.
Debate was continued by Messrs
Banks, Brooks, Bingham, Townsend oI
New York, Kelly, Farnsworth, May.

CONGRESSIONAL.
WASHINGTON. May 81.
SENATE.

Mr.. Conkling presented memorlai
from the New York Chamber OF Com
merce demonstration against the abol-
ishment of bonded warehouses. ke'
ferred to the Committee on Finance.
Mr.. Conkling presented petition OF
the gaugers of'New York for change
in the tariff bill which was just passed
in the House.
At the expiration OF the morning
hour Mr.. Patterson called up the bill
for adjusting the claims'of New Hamp'
shire for money advanced on volun-
teers.
The Senate then resumed the con-
consideration OF the habeas corpus sus-
pension bill. Mr.. Alcorn made gen
eral denial of the charges made against
him by Mr.. Ames last evening. Senator
Ames charged him with attempting to
ride two horses. AS to the charge that
he (Alcorn), when he was Governor,
had misused the secret service fund OF
the State, it ought to be some consider
alton to Mr.. Ames that even the funds
of Mississippi were misused. IL
was no loss to him personally
as he had never paid taxes
in the State, and hadn't any interest or
even residence. Laughter. The fact
was, however, that there had not been
a single defalcation by an officer in Mis-.
sissippi appointed by him. He had
expended some some Of the secret ser'
vice fund in attempting to catch MIR.
Ames' appointees who had ran away
with the public money, but like the
Ku Klux they were expert enough to
keep out OF the way. Laughter.
Mr.. Bayard said long ago he had
come to the conclusion that the party
in power was making a systematic
attempt to put the elections through
the country under the control of the
Federal Government, and each sue
cesslve step confirmed him in that
view. A few days ago the Senate
passed the Louisiana election bill for
that purpose, and now it was demanded
that the power to suspend the habeas
corpus act should be continued in the
President, the object being the
same. The legislation seemed to be
assuming more and more every day the
form OF military orders, and the govern
ment was becoming a government OF
will instead of a government of laws.
Speaking of the suspension Of the ha'
heas corpus in South Carolina, Mr..
Bayard commented on the fact that the
writ was suspended in Marion county
without any one even pretending that
there were Ku-Klux there.
Mr.. Sawyer said it was well known
that Marion county was included by
actual mistake.
Mr.. Bayard continued his remarks at
great length in denunciation of carpet
bag governments and assailing the
majority OF the Ku.Klux Committee
for refusing to listen 10 creditable wit
nesses and eummoning only those who
were utterly ignorant or destitute OF
character and who would swear to
anything that they were paid for.
The Senate, at 40 P. NJ, took re-
cess OF one hour.
EVENING SESSION.
The Senate reassembed at 1:3O P.
NJ, when the Ku-Klux law was dis
cussed at length by Senators Bayard
and Morton, and up to this hour, ll:3O
P. NJ, the question is still under dis
cussion, with every prospect OF very
late session.

Hasty Consumption Cured by Fellows

laboring under some affection of the lungs.
recommended your Syrup, tried at the Drug
gists in Harbor Grace, but they thought 1 was
inventing the name at their expense. How
ever, in April, 1870, Mr.. Edgar Joyce rapidly
wasted away with every symptom of quick con-
sumption, so that he was unable to walk across
the room, having no appetite, pains i'll the left
side, nervous system unstrung, dry, hacking
cough, SC. Fortunately learned that your
Syrup could be obtained at Mr.. Dearin's, in
st. Johns, and Immediately procured some
(showed one to w. HI. Thompson, who ordered
supply from you at once.) This was Tuesday
afternoon; at night he took the prescribed
dose, and in the morning he described the very
results notified on the wrapper. His appetite
soon began to return, and a voracious one it
was, too; the dry hacking cough changed into
loose but-viOlent attacks, finally disappearing
altogether; pains left his side, his hand assum-
ed its usual steadiness, and before he finished
ten bottles his health was quite restored, and
to-day not more healthy person is to be found
on our streets; it is the opinion of all, had he
not been fortunate in getting your valuable
Syrup of Hypophosphites, he would now be in
his grave.
He happened to be in W. H. Thompsons the
day your first shipment arrived, and took at
once four bottles to the Labrador, which he
was very anxious to do, but had not occasion
use them himself. No other medicine will he
ever prescribe, recommend or give, but yours.

lives in distant part of the Island. Hoping
this will give you some encouragement,
