means for raising revenue; that the
Senate has no constitutional authority
to originate measures tor that purpose,
that being the sole prerogatiye Of the
House. And that the postal amend
nent having originated with the Senate
and been grated on the bill which was
not ono for revenue purposes is uncon-
stitutional.

PANAMA. July 1S.-Advices from Sal>
yador state a dreadful riot took place at
San Miguel, town of 10000 inhabi
tants in the southern part of the Re-
public. A great deal of discomfort has
been excited against the Government by
its refusal to allow the pastoral OF the
Bishop of Salvador. written in tone OF
hostility TO the laws. to be read in the
churches. Also, there had been consid-
cradle hostile feeling among the lowsr
classes, owing to scme regulations re-
quiring dealers to use a new market
place. While matters were in this state,
q priest named Palacros preached a
violent sermon against the constituted
authorities On the goth ult. That even
ing a mob arose and attacked the Cabileo
and liberated some 200 persons; then
proceeded to assault small garrison at
the Cuarete, killed Gems. Epinosa and
Castro, cut the former to pieces and
threw the pieces at each other, split
the skull of Gen. Castro ano threw him
over wall, where he was picked by his
uother aud died in three days. The
garrison were nearly all assassinated and
many prominent citizens killed. After
this the fanatical mob set fire to 26 houses
with kerosine. Before the town was en-
tirely destroyed, it fortunately happened
that the II. NJ. B. ship Fantom was at
Launchon where she landed her marines
and allowed the garrison TO be united
with some troops from Amapalla in
Honduras, to march to the..relief of San
Miguel and put down the mob. Curete
Palacros at last accounts was arrested
with others that had participated in the
outbreak, and good many inferior
rioters had been shot by order of Pres
ident Gonzales. who had arrived with
troops. The damage is estimated at d
million dollars. The country has been
declared in a state of siege and the
President is taking measures to establish
order and bring the perpetrators of this
aisgraceful outbreak to punishment.
One curious and incredible discovery
was made after the murderous affair was
over and that was that on persons of

religion" Signed, George" Bishop
