CIVIL RIGHTS BILL efeat of the Sup
Elementary BiU.-WAsHINGToN,M May 25.-
Motions to suspend the rules and take
up the supplementary civil rights bill and
the currency bill were defeated, two thirds
not voting in the affirmative. The vote
on the civil rights bill was 1853 to "a; not
two thirds.
The defeat of the supplementary civil
rights bill in the house to-day is not . flu
ality. To be sure the Senate bill cannot
be reached, except under suspension of
the rules by two thirds vote, and that
as shown by the action of the House to-
day, cannot be secured, but the judiciary
Committee, under its leave to report at
any time, can report bill which is per-
feet copy of the Senate bill. aud this can
be passed by q simple majority. and sent
over to the Senate aud there acted on.
In that way the supplementary civil
rights bill may. and within very brief
space, find itself in the Presidents hand
The amendatory tariff and internal rev.
enue bills reported in the House to-day
contains the following clause: ANY far
mer or planter may sell, at the place of
production, tobacco of his own growth at
retail . directly to the consumer to an
amount not exceeding 500 annually.
Butler championed the civil rights bill
in the House to-day.

Rev. ABNER N. OGDEN, JR.-
This gentleman left on the Bart
Able On Wednesday last, for short
trip North, to communities not, SO
poverty stricken as our is, to raise
funds to complete the new church
building of the congregation of the
Episcopal Church here, Of which he
is the jealous and efficient Rector.
We earnestly hope that he may
succeed, for if there is any one
character of evidence positive and
conclusive of any community being
wide awake, and on the road to
prosperity, it is the presence of
churches. No community can do
without them and prosper.
we hope soon to see more sub
stantial structure completed for
Mr.. Ogden's congregation than the
one which vas blown down by the
storm two years ago. And we have
no doubt that the new church will
be ali ornament to our town, and
shall be a monument to the liberal
ity Of more fortunate people, and
to the energy Of the congregation.
We commend Mr.. Ogden to the
people of the places he may visit,
as being an able, eloquent and con-
scien}ious Minister of the Gospel,
who has the uabonnded respect and
of our whole people, and
who will give them only q strictly
correct statement Of our condition,
and OF our necessities.

a A clerical principal Of an English
boarding School for boys called his
pupils together at the beginning Of
Lent, and gave them short lecture
upon solf-denial and self-sacrifce, and
advised them to select some article Of
food with which they would dispense
during the season Of Lent. The boys
were directed to 60 into . room by
and, after deciding what
luxury they would give up, to return
to the chapel and report their decision.
The boys retired, and soon returned
and made the following report: Re-

REFUND1NG OF THE COTTON TAX
The following is from the Geographic
correspondence of the Cincinnati En-
quirer
WASHINGTON, May 19.-The Rep
resentatives of the Cotton States have
been cancussing from time to time, in
order to Rarmonize upon measure for
the refunding of the cotton tax. At
one time there seemed to be prospect
ofssuccess. A bill was drawn by some
osss.,e most distinguished of the South
ern Representatives in Congress-, which
was fair compromise and adjustment
Of the rights and equities of the two
classes specially interested in this
measure, namely, the planters or pro
ducers, and tkS merchant or factors.
1t has been Obvious to all discerning
persons that unless substantial justice
was done to both these classes in the
bill proposed nothing could be secured
for either.
1t is only in an entire and cordial
union of these two interests that a re-
funding bill can stand any chance be-
fore Congress; but the very justice of
the proposed seems to have aroused
the opposition of certain Representa-
tives Of limited experience in public
affairs, and by their persistent efforts
the bill has been changed and ingeni-
ously worded, SO as to give every thing
to the producers and to leave the mer
chants and attorney out in the cold.
The assignments by Which the latter
hold their rights are no: recognized in
the news bills, and every possible
obstacle is interposed to both the mer-
chant and the attorneys deriving any
benefit from the measure. The result
of this unfair and grasping spirit will
almost certainly involve defeat of the
bill at this session, whet Or merchants
or producers will get anything.

% RISE AND PAIL OF PEToLEUM For
TUNEs.-It is not only individuals who
have suddenly increased in prosperity
and as suddenly gone down intoi roth
ingness there are cities Of which the
same can be said. Such one is Pit
hole City, Pa. Within one month
from the completion of tho first house
this city had telegraph Office, aud q
hotel, costing the owners $4,000. In
one month more there was a daily pa
per established, and in the next q
theatre; in another month another
theatre, and then an academy of music.
In six months there were seventy-four
hotels and boarding houses in the
seventh month the city had reached ito
highest prosperity. It then had II, $50
inhabitants, elaborate water works, q
hall, and an expensive city govern
ment. Then occurred the completion
of a labor saving enterprise, the 30
called Miller. Farm Pipe Line, BY
which the petroleum was sent off inde-
pendent of the laboring population.
At once 1000 persons were thrown out
of employment. while 1000 horses be-
came useless; this was the death blow
for Pit-hole City. At once the hotels,
the theatres. and the telegraph office
were closed, the daily paper. gave up
it's gohst, while almost every ono pack
ed their trunks and moved out. Only
nine families remain out of q popula-
ton of 5000 souls, while the railroad
from Pit-h"le and Oleopolis runs only
one train day, consisting of o locomo-
tive with q single car, which usually is
empty, but the company is obliged to
keep running, otherwise the charter
for the road would be lost. They still
hope against hope for better times, for
better times, for that unfortunate city,
which in only seven months was born
full grown, got sick and died. UNI
loubtedly this is case unparalleled in
al history, modern or ancient; neither
Egyptno Greece.

'Ey' Beauty and style are not the surest
passports to respectability-some of the
noblest specimens of womanhood that the
world has ever seen have presented the
plainest and most unprepossessins appear

greatness of her soul, and the purity and
sweetness of her character: and woman
with kindly disposition, and we'll bal
anced mind and temper, is lovely and at
tractive, be her face ever so plain and her
figure ever so homely; she makes the best
of wives and the truest of mothers. She
has higher purpose IN living than the

~ OLD GOLD AND SILVER
WARE BOUGHT ATTHE HIGH
EST CASH PRICES, BY
FERGUSON & SCHNACK.
Condition Of Trade in New York.

We copy the following, from the
American Commercial Times:
The stagnation in general business
still continues, and with very few zap
parent indications ola change for the
better. 1t is many years since this city
experienced snch prolonged and gen
eral extension of hard times as that
which prevails atopresent. 1t is now
eight months since the actul panic ter
minated, yet our citizens still continue
to suffer from its results. 1t would
seem, as this journal intimated at the
time, that the panic struck the material
interests Of the city with force which
prevented it's extension to other places.
OF course, there is a great deal Of bust
ness transacted here, and strangers Wis
iting us might nosnotice any decrease
in commercial activity. But persons
more familiar with Our city and capable
of seeing below the surface, know that
business affairs are far from being sat-
istactory. Il
Respecting the prospects for improve
ment it is feared that the season is too
far advanced to permit any very great
change for the better. 1t is a2t. how
eesr, yet too late for an awe and
Prosperous Sprlnarade.
In the mean Time the prolonged stag
nation of BUSINESS in this city bears
hard upon the midd|e-class interests
generally. 1t is getting to be more ard
more difficult to realize collections. The
retail dealers are unable, for various
reasons, to meet their engagements
with the wholesale merchants with
their usual promptitude, and the latter
have consequently heavy load to car
ry. 1t is calculated that in the provision
and grocery trades alone the wholesale
merchants are compelled to renew and
carry obligations of their customers to
an aggregate of about ten millions of
dollars.
This will give our readers some
idea of the distress that exists in
the great financial centre Of the
Onion. We are really having hard
times in Louisiana, and imagine
that Rapiles is in the worst posi-
BILE condition of any section in the
whole country. But the scarcity OF
money, and want of confidence, is
not confined to u.s. but is general
throughout the United States. al
The as'iculturisb are suffering
greatly in every section, and unless
Congress inaugurcates some finan-
cial measure that will meet the ap-
prevail Of the President, and which
will give us more and cheaper mon
~, the 6lancial distress, and gene
'al prostration of business, will con-
;inue for someS,ime to come.
