F0RTY-THIRD CONGRESS-,
Sectn1 Session.. Thursday, Feb. 26th.
Senate.

Mr.. Morrill, of Vermont. from the
committee on finance. reported back the
tax and tariff bill which recently passed
the House. and stated that the committee
was equally divided upon the bill. He
gave notice he would call it up as soon as
the civil rights bill should be disposed Of.
Placed on the calendar.
AThe finance committee reported the
tax and tariff bill without amendment
and without recommendation. A ma ior-
ity of the committee would have pre-
ferred to amend the bill IN various par
ticulars, but at least four Of the number
now in Washington believe that to amend
the bill at all would imperil its passage,
in consequence not only Of the conflicting
views in the Senate, but Of the difficulty
of reaching the bill when returned to tho
Speakers table in the House for action
on any amendment which the Sc nate
majority or the House might be willing to
agree to. A number of Senators will
however move amendments in the Senate
some with view to improving the bill
and others with the purpose of killing it
altogether.
Scott from the committee on finance re.
ported adversely on the bill to secure de-
positors in the Freedmens' Savings and
Trust Company from ultimate loss and it
was indefinitely postponed.
Bayard, from the same committee, re-
ported favorably on the bill to amend
section 2,342 Of the revised statutes, in
troduced by him on the Sd inst, and it
was passed. The bill requires brewers to
atiix upon the spigot hole Of every barrel
containing fermented liquor the proper
stamp, when such barrel is sold or re-
moved from the brewery or warehouse,
and also requires the stamp to be cancel
ed at the time Of affixing the same, by
writing or imprinting thereon the name
Of the manufacturers of the liquor.
Sherman, from the committee on
finance, called up the House bill restrict
ing the refunding Of custom duties and
prescribing certain regulations Of the
treasury department. Passed.
Logan asked to take up the bill for the
equalization Of bountes, but objection was
made
Ferry Of Connecticut gave notice that
at o clock tomorrow, # under the ar.
rangement in regard to the civil rights
bill he could DO SO. he would ask
the indulgence OF the Senate to present
resolutions and submit remarks in refer
encc to his late colleague, Governor Buck
ingham.
Conkling, from the judiciary committee,
reported favorably on House bill to pro-
vide for deduction from the terms OF the
sentence Of United States prisoners;
placed ON calendar.

Immediately after the meeting Of the
House this morning proposition was
made by Mr.. Randall to the effect that if
the Republicans would agree to take up
the sundry civil appropriation bill and
discuss it until o'clock, when recess
should be taken until 7:3o, at which time
the force bill should be taken
up for debate only. the opposition would
not insist upon reading the journal, which
would consume several hours.
Mr.. Coburn gave notice that tomorrow
at one 0 clock he should call the previous
question on the force bill.
The Republicans accepted Randall's
proposition, and at IL the House went
into committee Of the whole on the sum
dry civil appropriation bill.

A Shining Card from Bowen.

The following card from Mr.. H. C.
Bowen will be published this afternoon !:
The statement made by Mr.. B. F.
Tracy in his opening address to the court
and jury in the Brooklyn scandal case.
so far as said statements re-
fer to me as having been engaged
in any conspiracy whatever. are malis-
nant falsifcations, and from beginning to
end destitute of even one particle of
truth, as said Tracy can learn if he
will call me to the witness
stand. in which event he will
find out l do not believe in the doctrine
said to be taught to him that lying is JUS
tifiable under certain circumstances.

A Joke ON Tracy.

New YORK, Fob. 26.---There was not
the usual crowd this morning at the Til
ton-Beecher trial, but all Immediately
concerned in the suit were promptly in
their places.
The cause of this falling off in attend
ance was doubtless owing to the fact that
the newspapers published more of Tracy S
address than he was able to deliver yes
terday and the people having read it in
advance were disposed to let Mr.. Tracy
catch up without their countenance.

THE STANDARD ELECTRIC CONDITION
OF THE HUMAN BODY.

Health is that state Of the system in which
the opposing forces are properly balanced. Ii
the sum OF the electric force exceeds that OF
the destructive forces, The result will be an in
crease in the size of the tissue in which the
electricity resides, but if on the other hand
the sum OF the electric force is less than the
sum of the destructive forces, the result will
be emaciation or atrophy. This proposition is
striklngly exempiied in the growJh of child
hood and decay Of old age.
When we consider that at each moment OF
life change Is constantly going on IN the mat
ter which C0mposes the organism; that a por-
tion of the structure is incessantly undergoing
a transformation into unorgaDized matter, anO
therefore losing its vital electrical condition
that every motion, every manifestation of
physical force, every contraction Of a muscle,
is accompanied by the transformation OF mat
ter lust described; that every act of the mind
every mental affection, is followed by changes
in the chemical composition Of the secretions Of
the body; that every thought, every sensation
is accompanied by q change in the composition
OF the substance Of the brain: we can readily
| understand that certain conditions must bt
fulfilled in order to preserve the activity of tht
electric force and to maintain the phenomena
| of life.
Health consists in an equilibrium of the eec.
| tricIty OF the system, and disease consists in
| disturbance Of that equilibrium. II electricity
| Is properly applied it will restore that los
equilibrium, and health will naturally result

THE New York Herald has made an
other terrible discovery. 1t this morning
lays before its readers the text of the
Constitution of the Order OF the Ameri-
can Union, secret society organized
to secure the reelection of President
Grant. 1t claims that the President,
Ex-Speaker Blaine, Postmaster General
Jewell and other leading Republicans
Are members. The Herald, of course,
by discovering and making public
this terrible secret, has again saved
the country. Somehow, whenever the
country needs saving the great Ameri-
can newspaper always steps to the
front just in. time to save it. The
Herald's ability to set up straw man,
and then fight him with vim, energy and
nnal success, has never been questioned.

A Gloomy Negotiation.

Mr.. Phipps, OF the firm OF Phipps and

sitting in his shop, Saturday afternoon,
ruminating gloomily upon the dull times,
when the door opened and in came a
stranger. The visitor was a slim-faced
man, dressed in a dun-colored suit OF
rather tight-fitting clothes. He looked
clear around the room, carefully avoid
ing glance at the undertaken until the
circuit was completed. Then he looked
curiously at him, and said:

anything can do for you, sir?"

over the array of cofins and caskets.
"You wife is deadW inquired Mr.

the stranger, with an approving nod.
"What time yesterday did the sad
