of them voted against the bill.
The Presidents message on the
river and harbor bill, embodying
the claim of dispensing power in
the execution of the laws, which
telegraphed to the Courier-Journal
some days since, naturally led to a
vigorous criticism by the Demo-
Gratis, and was promptly sustained
by the friends Of Grant and Hayes.
But the great question in private
talks during the day was when Con-
gress would adjourn, and this no.
body could answer.
Mr.. Vance, who is one of the best

combe speeches-will doubtless be
returned. The best stump speaker
or sharpest lawyer is not always a
success as a legislator. The present
House contains many Illustrations
of this. The reforms accomplished
are all well enough as far as they
go, but they are only the beginning
Of what the masses of the people
desire, and that will be made thor
ough and complete if Tilden and
Hendricks are elected. For the
first time in sixteen years the Re-
publican party has received check
and has been put on the defensive.
But for the opposition to reduc-
tons and reforms by the Senate
and dilatory motions to wear out
patience and determination of the
House Congress might have adj
iourned a month sooner. The
Democrats, however, were true to
their trusts and stood their ground
to the end. No jobs were rushed
through in the closing hours, as
usual when both Houses have been
Republican, and there was none of
that disgraceful confusion and fill
clustering which has so often pre-
vailed in the last ten years.
There was a session of the House
Monday night which lasted until
six o'clock next morning; the mem
bers were tired out, many of them
gone away, and the first session Of
the FOrty-Fourth Congress came to
a quiet close yesterday evening at
y O'Clock. The members can now
betake themselves to quiet retreats
for a short time, but most Of them,
if not candidates for reelection,
will be drawn into the great Presi-
Dental contest. AS far as Ten
nessoe is concerned, we are ready
to say to our returning Democratic
representatives, ''Well done, good
and faithful servants"

WASHINGTON NEWS.

Special Telegraphic Correspondence to the
Courier Journal.
WASHINGTON, August 14.-The
first session of the Forty-fourth
Congress is rapidly approaching an
end, but its proceedings are marked
by much less than the usual excite
ment. The appropriation bills
have all passed the House, and only
one of them, the Indian bill, yet
fingers in the Senate; but this bill
will soon pass. The aggregate saw
ing in the appropriations Of the So
called Confederate House" foots
up only twenty, nine and a half
million Of dollars.
The Senate has been pottering
to-day over the Hawiian treaty leg
islation, and Mr.. Edmunds insists
on debate over the school amend
ment, which the Senate is unwilling
to pass in the shape in which il
came from Mr.. Blaine. The result
will probably be that nothing will
BE- agreed on at this session.
The only striking personal Incl
dent of the House today was the
swearing in of Mr.. Henry Waiter
son as the Representa- We of the
Louisville district. An unusua.
amount Of interest was expressed
by Members Of Congress and otheri
in his candidacy and election, anC
few persons make their entrance il

With such hurtful drugs as %quinine, ealomol,

Stomach Bitters, which, whether it is used to
remedy or prevent malarial fevers, overcome

public has long since given it the preference
to every medicine of its kind.

ADJOURNMENT OF CONGRESS.

Both Houses of Congress adj
journed yesterday evening, August
18th, at half-past seven o'clock.
This has been one of the longest
sessions on record, and it is impos-
sible at present to estimate or give
an adequate idea of what has been
done. We can safely assert, how
ever, that the reductions made in
annual expenditures by what was
at first sarcastically called the
Confederate House, amount
to over thirty-one million dollars,
and sixty million less than Grants
administration asked for. This is
practical; this the people can UNI
derstand. The House labored nm
der peculiar disadvantages, being
largely composed on the Demo-
cratic side of new men who had
seen but little public service, and
were not prepared to cope with the
willy and experienced Republicans
who had so often been returned
to the floor Of the House,
The Senate at first was disposed to
resist any and all reductions, but
latterly made substantial conces-
sions on many bills. This applies
especially to all questions Of sala-
ries and to the decrease of the
number of employees in the various
departments. The reductions in
the Postofice Department were very
small. The appropriation of money
for private claims has been
much less than usual, and
the number of private bills is lesI
than for many years. the TIVE
Houses being of opposite politics
made it difficult Or impossible t.
get anything through both withou.
unusual scrutiny. The Republi
cans in and out Of Congress hav.
done all in their power t
throw ridicule on the reform
efforts of the Democrats. The lat

were honest, were sustained by III
people and have stood their groun,

ST. PAUL, August l5.-The Pio-

day says: ga party of twenty-five
men, with teams, arrived from the
Black Hills to-day. When within
one days march of the Hills they
had a skirmish with Indians, and
lost one man killed and one wound
ed in the foot. We have no news
of Terry's last fight with the In
dians, except by the steamer West
ern, which arrived this morning
from Benton. When at Fort Peck
the Indians told the captain Of the
Western that Terry had had a fight
with the Sioux the day before, and
that Terry's killed numbered 300,
Sitting Bulls loss being 700. The
steamer Josephine, loaded with
government freight and troops,
leaves Fort Buford tomorrow.
"The rumor of an Indian battle
is confirmed by Indian runners from
Fort Peck tonight. The steamer
Western, which left there Sunday,
reported 3O7 Indians killed. Kit

from the Black Hills to-day, had a
fight with the Indians near the
Black Hills, and Phelps, of Mon
tana, and Frank Fig, of Bismarck,
were wounded. The steamer jose
phine leaves for the Rosebud with
two companies of the Twenty-Sec-
ond infantry"
