The House. ON the 18th, adopted
two important resolutions. The first
was one pledging Congress against
all railroad subsidies in money or
lands; the second was against

SO votes against the first, and only

In the Senate, on the 10th, a bill
was introduced to provide for Com

nence. in relation to alcoholic liquors,
who shall serve without salary, and
within two years investigate the
liquor trffic. its relations to the reve-
nue. and taxation, and its general
economic, moral, and scientific as
poets in connection with paupers,
crime, social vice, the public health,
and general welfare of the people,
and, also, inquire and take testimony
as to the practical results OF license
and prohibitory Legislation for the
prevention of intemperance in the
several States of the Union. The
bill approprfates $4,000 for neces-
sary expenses, and requires the Com
mission to report the result of their
investigation to the President, to be
by him transmitted to Congress.
Both Houses adjourned on Mon

A RELIGIOUS War at Hand is what
the Able Michaud, writing in last
weeks Independent, deduces from
the gigantic organizations which the
Jesuits and Rome are everywhere de-
veloping. The Ultramontanes hold
doctrines that lead to insnrrection,
and the Abbe's conclusion is that a
religious war is in the near future
for Europe, and only a matter of time
for America.

UNION soldiers are at discount in
Washington. Even Democratic I'm
ion Soldiers have to retire. Most of
the subordinate places about the
Democratic House have been given
to ex-rebel soldiers, which fact
brought out the following resolution
from Republican member, to-wit:
"Resolred, BY the House of Rep
resentatives, that in all subordinate
appointments under any of the off
GERS of this House. it is the Judgment
of the House that the wounded Un-
ion soldiers who are not disabled
from the performance of duty should
be preferred"
The Democratic stomach couldn't
stand this, and it was amended by
the offer of the following, the vote be-
ing strictly party one, to-wit:
"Resolved, That inasmuch as the
union of the States has been restored,
all citizens thereof are entitled to
consideration in the appointment to
office under this government"
This makes easy the action of the
party as stated by the correspond
ent of the Cincinnati Gazette, to-
wit:
The Democratic movement in the
House against disabled Union sol
diers on the rolls of its employees con-
tinues. Capt. Ball, one of the door
keepers, who had lost an arm in the
service, has been discharged and his
place filed by an ex-Confederate
officer.

Its Medical Properties are
ALTERATlvE, TONIC. SOLVENT AND
DlIlRETjc.

VEGETINE is made exclusively from
the Juices of carefully-selected barks,
roots and herbs, and so strongly con-
centrated, that it will effectually eradi-
cate from the system every taint of
ScrOfula, ScrofulOus Humor, TumOrs,
Cancer, Cancerous Humor, Erysipelas,
Salt Rheum, Syphilitic Diseases, ,Canker,
Faintness at the stomach, and all diseases
that arise from impure blood. Seiatica,
Inflammatory and Chronic Rheumatism,
Neuralgia, GOut and Spinal Complaints,
can only be effectually cured through
the blood.
For Ulcers and Eruptive Diseases OF
the Skin Pustules. Pimples, BlOtches,
Boils, letter, Scaldhead and RingwOrm,
VEGETINE has never failed to effect a per-
manent cure.
For Pains in the Back. Kidney Com
plants, DrOpsy, Female Weakness, Leu
cOrrhPa arising from internal ulcera-
ton, and uterine diseases and General
Debility, VEGETINE acts directly upon
the causes of these complaints. 1t iu-

allays Inflammation, cures liberation
and regulates the bowels.
For Catarrh, Dyspepsia, Habitual Cos
tiveness, Palpitation of the heart, Head
ache, Piles, Nervousness and General
ProstratiOn of the Nervous System, no
medicine has ever given such perfect
satisfaction as the VEGETINE. 1t puri-
ties the blood, cleanses all of the organs,
and possesses a controlling power over
the nervous system.
The remarkable cures effected by Veg
etine have induced many physicians and
apOthecaries whom We know to pres
cribe and use 1t in their own families.
In fact, Vegetine is the best remedy
yet discovered for the above diseases,
and is the only reliable BLOOD PURI-
FER yet placed before the public.
