The Press says that fire broke out Monday
evening about 10 o'clock in Thomas tSeavey ;
store, which was completely destroyed. Some
few hundred dol lars worth OF goods were saved
IN damaged condition. Owing to the scarcity OF

guisher, it was impossible TO save the building.

ing owned by the Odd Fellows was insured in the

Congressional Proceedings.
SENATE

WEDNESDAY, January IL.
Mr.. Sargent of California introduced a bill con-
ccIning naturalization. Referred to the Judiciary
committee.
The consideration of Mr.. Schurz's resolution III
regard TO Louisiana, being the unfinished business
was resumed.
Mr.. Logan said that he believed it was .consd-
cred the duty of u sailor to stand by his ship in
the midst OF a great storm. Senators on his side
of the chamber had been told that great storm
of indignation was gathering in the land, which
would certainly wreck the republican craft. The
republican party mad been characterized as tyrani
cal and oppressive, and the course Of the party
and the executive had been denounced even by
men who had received clemency from that party.
What was the cause of this lie might be mis-
taken, but he thong ht this was the beginning of
the campaign Of 1876 He proposed 10 1!Scnss
questions winch should be presented to the Amer
lean people truly, and facts from honest and
legal stand point. lie argued that there was q
government in Louisiana; whether il was gov
crnment OF right or not was not the question.
Could any Senator on this floor to-day stand up
ard deny the fact that government existed in
Louisiana Whether they called it a government
deiure or n government deiacto, was another ques-
ton.
1t would not do for Senators to talk about the
election of 1872. That had no mole to do with
the org anizaton of the legislature the 4th inst.
than an election hundred years herce. If there
was no government in Louisiana, as had been ar
gued by Senators on the other side, why did they
make all this noise and confusion about overturn
ing legislature If there was no State govern
ment, there was no legislature. lie did not pro-
pose to evade the question in that manner, how
ever. There was government in that State-a
government recognized by the courts, recognized
by branch of Congress and recognized by ma
ority of the citizens of the State. The acts Of the
conservatives in the Louisiana legislature on the
4th inst. were acts of treason against the State,
for which they should have been punished.
1t had been said here that there had been no
intimidation in the south. He denied that such
was the fact. On the night before the election in
Louisiana, last fall, notices were posted upon the
doors of white and colored republicans, notify ing
them that if they voted the republican ticket theil
lives would be in danger. Such notices were two
by six inches in size indicating the size of grave
Passes for safe travel were given to colored mer
who voted the democratic ticket TO protect then
against the White League.

Intrusion on tho sabbath.

Mr.. EDITOR Last Sabbath evening we had
an advertised lecture at Granite Hall, an admis-
sion being asked, vith reserved seats forthose
who wished at additional price. Now we have
for next Sabbath evening something else at 20 cts
admission This may appear ell very moral and
proper, but think it is genteelwa of intruding
ON Sabbath hours. l do not believe in opening
our halls on Sundays for public shows or anything
of the kind, the sole object Of which is to make
money. "Six days shalt thou labor and do all thy
work" and if lectures or panoramas, or shows OF
any kind have any merit to bring an audience to-
gether, there are six day and evenings in week
ordained for secular purpose, in which to have
them If we establish the precedent alluded to l
fear we shall find it hard drawing the dividing line
as regards the character OF an entertainment.

No use of any longer taking the large, repul.
sve, gripping, drastic and nauseous pills, composed
of crude and bulky ingredients, and put up in
cheap wooden or pasteboard boxes, when we can,
by careful application Of chemical science, eN-
tract all the cathratic and other medicinal proper
ties from the most valuable roots and herbs, and
concentrate them into minute granule, scarcely
larger than a mustard seed, that can be readily
swallowed by those of the most sensitive stomachs
and fastidious tastes. Each Of DR.. Pierce's
Pleasant Purgatiye Pellets represents, 10 most
concentrated form, as much cathartic power as is
embodied in any of the large pills found for sale
in the drug stores. From their wonderful cathar-
tic power, in proportion to their size, people who
have not tried them are apt to suppose that they
are harsh or drastic in effect but such is not at all
the case, the different medicinal principals of
which they are composed being so harmonized,
one by the others, as to produce most searching
and thorough, yet gently and kindly operating
catha: tic. The Pellets sold by dealers in med
