IN the U. s. Senate yesterday the
Chair presented the resolutions OF the
Democratic Convention held in Col
umbus Ohio: on the 9Th inst, in refer
ence to the Presidential question, and
they were referred TO the special COM
mittee of seven. A resolution toprint
5000 extra copies of the testimony taken
by the Committee ON privileges and
Elections in the disputed States was
adopted. On motion of Mr.. Jones. of
Nevada, the time of the Committee oL
Relatives Valuesof Gold and Silver was
extended to February 18th. The re-
port of the Committee on revision OF
rules was considered. After an exec
utlve session, the Senate adjourned.
In the House, the Sergeant-at-arms
appeared with Mr.. Orton, President
of the Western Union Telegraph Com
pany, arrested for contempt. Dir. Or
ton presented written answer to the
Speakers question, disclaiming any
intention OF disrespcct to the Commit
tee or the House, alleging that he was
too i'll to make long journey, asserting
that the Company has taken from him
all control over the kilograms sent
through its offices, and promising to
testify before the Committhe on its
return to Washington. The matter
was referred to the judiciary Commit
tee, and Mr.. Orton was remanded to
the custody OF the Sergeant-at-arms.
Several bills was introduced under the
call of States. A resolution offered by
Mr.. Whyte, of Ky, was adopted, con-
demning any attempt to prejudice or
excite the public mind on the Pres
idential question "in advance of the
authority provided for in the Consti-
tution." Mr.. Cochrane, of Pa, offered
a resolution looking to the repeal of
the privileges and concessions granted
by Congress to the Western Union
Telegraph Company. 1t was lost for
want of two-thirds affirmative vote.
Eight Democrats voted with the Re-
publicans against it; Mr.. Caulfleld. of
Illinois, moved to suspend the rules
and pass bill making it unlawful for
more than one regiment of infantry,
one company of calvary and one bat
terry of artillery to be stationed in the
District of Columbia, and providing
that no portion of such force shall be
brought within half a mile of the Cap
itol during the session of Congress
without the consent of that body.

CURRENT COMMENT.

Referring to the great and enthusiastic
out-pourings Of the democracy of the sew
cral western states. the Raleigh Nelrs
remarks that ''lhe resolutions passed at
the several conventions run counter to
the plans of the republican conspirators,
and, though they do not say so in so many
words, they involve the idea that the Til
den men of the West will sustain and
support, by force of arms if necessary any
action which the House may take in the
iawtal exercise of its constitutional pow
ers. They are worthy the gallant leaders
whom they follow, and we may set it
down that the will stand by their public
resolves in the impending crisis.

relating to the application Of the vapor
Of the corbolic acid, by DR.. Lee, Of Lon
don, for whooping cough, recalls a SIM
liar application made for my children in
the winter and spring of 1873. Two lit
tie girls returned from school with hard
coughs. During the night following
they received small doses of various
cough medicines, but without apparent
effect; they coughed necessarily. The
next day we learned that they had been
exposed to whooping cough at school, and
that they probably had it. That night
as our usual remedies had failed, it oc
Cured to me that possibly some relief
might be obtained by their inhaling the
vapor of carbolic acid. So, when the
children W ere in bed, we evaporated, over
the gas in their bedroom, very weak
solution of the acid for about fifteen or
twenty minutes. The effect was magical.
The character of the cough was from
that time changed. There was hard
coughing that night. The children had a
light cough, which continued during the
usual term of whooping cough, but it
was without the "whOop," save in one
or two instances, and withoutany special
distress, sickness or discomfort. Three
other children took the cough at this
time, and were treated in the same way,
with the same result.
In these instances teaspoonful Of a
strong solution of carbolic acid crystals
and glycerine was well mixed in quart
of water. From one to two gills OF this
weak solution was evaporated slowly
over the gas lin tie room where the
children were asleep or at play, with
doors and windows closed, twice daily"
