Congress-.

Since the excitement caused by the
heated discu Ssion of the Silver oucs-
ton, the Senators and Rcprcsen a.
tivcs in Congress have been resting
quietly and enjoying their ease. Only
now anG again a ripple in the shape
Of the subject Of counting the Elec

or Southern Pacific Railroad would
disturb the evenness Of Washington
life; but on Wednesday last quite
tempest III n teapot arose over so
simple thing rs the payment of Post
Masters claims by the Confuderacy
during the late war. Mr.. Rcgan, of
Texas, asserted in u speech that the
South had not paid the claims of
Mail contractors and they were en-
titled to pay from the government
now.
Dir. Conger, Of Michigan and vii
let's produced documents to prove
that these contracts had been met and
chaJgcd Southern senators with
kno owiedge of the fact, whereupon an
exciting and most disgraceful scene
ensued between these gentlemen and
Mr.. Dongass, of Virginia. The
Chairman raped repeatedly with his
gavel, and it was only through the
earnest efforts of the Sergeant-at-
arms and special members that the
farce was ended. Must the
past be never forgotten and the en-
hers Of former strifes be stirred
continually.

with the different denominations of

the work of the Saviour He wa s
particularly emph atic upon the ne

Justice at Last.

A dispatch to John T. Sloan, ESQ,
received yesterday from Washington
City, conveyed the gratifying intelli-
gcncc. that the Southern veterans of
1872 and also those tof subsequent
Indian wars, are to be restored to til 6
United States pension rolls. This
matter is one Of vital importance to
many men and women in South Caro-
lima and the whole South. The act
OF Congress just passed says that not
only the names Of the survivin q
veterans shall be restored, but that
the widows Of the dead patriots shall
be allowed to draw the pensions of
their patriot hush ands, regard css of
any marriage contract formed since
their death. 1t will be re membered
that since the war these men, who

Terrific Tornado.

from Atlanta Ga, says: The city
of Atlanta experienced to-day the
severest wind storm or ."ainless lorna

burst suddenly about II o'clock ~

filed with worshippers, and lasted,
without rain but with steady and
tremendous force. for two hours. The
Episcopal Church, like others was
filled at the hour for the commence
ment of divine service, and no thought
Of danger was entertained by the con
g'csation; but during the early part
Of the service, the wind snd,lenly rose
and shook the whole building to its
foundation. The officiating minister
realized at once that tornado had
struck the building, and KIN owing it

cried out to them to throw themselves
under the seats. This advice the con
grcgation at once followed, and not a
moment too soon. With few fear
ful creaks and jars of iIs roof and
walls, the whole building crumbled
into shapelcss ruin, burying he
congregation under the debris.
Luckily the shelter afforded by the
seats protected the great mass ofthe
congregation, but eighteen were ser.
iously wounded by the falling tim
bcrs. Sone of these, however, have
died. Several other churches in At.
lanta have been seriously iniure d,
their walls shaken and roofs partly
stripped. The City Hall was entirely
unroofed and car sheds of the railroad
depot unsettled. There was great
damage, an estimate Of which canno t
yet be determined.
