sense OF gratefulness, submit the following as an

child, three years old, suddenly attacked with
terrible disease, which In less than six hours
prostrated 1t to utter helplessness The limbs be-
came so rigid that not q joint could be bent the
flesh turned black and cold and entirely deprived
OF feeling; the eyes fixed purtially closed, and
altogether blind, following this was deafness to all
sounds: the spine became contracted and curved
that when lying on its back the head and heels
only touched. Indeed, the child presented every
appearance of being dead. Immediately on the at
tack, the family physician YVES called IN, and for
three weeks he labored to restore it to feeling but
all in vain, although it was blistered a dozen
times and various rubefacient Liniments applied.
consultation of physicians was then held, but to
no purpose, the case was then brought before the
Medical Society. but nothing could be suggested
which had not already been done, and the doctor
then told me he could do nothing more We
then commenced applying your Liniment freely
over the entire length of the spine, and you may
imagine parents joy, when after few applica.

rapidly recovered with the exception of the sight
which did not become perfect for near a month
The child is now healthy and robust as can be-
Five other cases of the same kind occurred pre-
viously in my neighborhood, all of which died
when there is no doubt if your Llnime1t had been
used they would have recovered.

WASHINGTON, April 25.-The secretary
in response to that portion of the resolu-
ton which called for a statement of the
amount paid any syndicate, person or per-
sous for placing bonds on the market or for
purchasing the same and in what currency
they were paid, writes: Prior to the pas
sage of the acts of July IA, 1870, and Jan.
20, 1871, the com mission and expense OF
loans were paid from the general appro.
priation expense IF national loans, and
owing to the number of items involved it
is practicable, with the present force OF
the department, to ascertain the amount
paid for commissions alone. AS bearing
on the matter your attention is invited tC
the accompanying copy Of letter from
the register Of the treasury, of the 5th
lest. Under the several contracts foI
placing bonds authorized by the acts OF
July IA, 1870, and Jan. 90. 1871, com
mission of onehalf Of one per cent has
been allowed, but the contracting parties
were to pay therefrom all expenses Of issue
and delivery. The net amo1nt of com.
missions cannot therefore be ascertaineC
by the department. The letter of Reg
ister Scofeld makes a similar statement a:
to the impracticability Of furnishing tht
desired Information, as it would require al
analysis of old accounts, for which the
present clerical force cannot be spared
without impeding the current work of The
department.

HOUSE.

WASHINGTON, April 23,-Mr MacMa-
hon stated that he was authorized by the
judiciary committee to offer a substitute
for the bill repeating the bankrupt law and
providing that the bill shall take effect
Immediately, as to involuntary proceed
ings, except pending proceedings and suits,
and shall take effect after the lst o. July,
1879. In regard TO voluntary bankruptcy
proceedings, he said there was three classes
of views in regard to the bankrupt law.
One class desired d permanent bankrupt
law, the second class wanted its uncondi-
tional repeal, and the third class, repre-.
sented by majority Of the judiciary com
mittee, desired its repeal as to the voluntary
proceedings, to take effect after the 1st oi
January, 1879. He spoke in behalf oi
those who thought the bankrupt law was
contrary to republican institutions, but he
would modify it's repeal by granting 9
| limited time in which persons smight take
advantage of its benefit.
Mr.. Conger favored the substitute.
Mr.. Chittenden said good bankrupt
law was an absolute necessity and the sub
stitute of the judiciary committee wa!
most dangerous. 1t proposed to extenC
until January an invitation to the higl
carnival of disaster and calamity to $1,000
merchants.
Mr.. Huntoon moved to refer to th,
Judiciary committee.
Ewing favored reference. The pending
bill was fit sequel to the resumption law
and would cause the ruin which that Law
contemplated 1t was monstrous meas
ure. The masses of business men wer
linsolvent. Not one in FIVE could settle hi
business by selling his property. Th
Legislation of congress had caused thi
state of affairs. Whatever the cause, thi
was no time to enact a law spreventin
these afflicted men from getting some relic
from the load of debt. They needed th
law now most of all times.
| Cole asked where he got bis statistic
for saying that not one In five oe th
business men could disharge bis obliga
tions.
Mr.. Ewing said from the steady declin
in values.
/ Mr.. Cole said he believed there was nC
one in five but was discharging bis oblig,
tions promptly and faithfully.
/ Mr.. Ewing said that was true, becaus
the present bankrupt law exists. Bank

We refer in this connection to the
calling upon the troops by the
railroad company before the power
of the civil authorities had been
exhausted, and to the communica-
tion Of Colonel Scott in the North
American Revieto, in 1877, after
the riots, where he suggested that
the military power of the United
States be placed at the disposal OF
the railroad authorities. The la
boring element with its ballots
are not strong enough unsupported
to overcome this opposition. VIII

Governor Edward McCook, which,
with a stylish team and Mexican
driver, makes conspicuous turn

mess enterprises of Ouray have
been very successful, and prove
him to be shrewd business man.
1t is the opinian of all who know
anything about him, that he de-
sires to adopt entirely the habits
and life of the whites, but the in
nate love of power and prominence
makes him cling to his leadership
or chieftaincy with tenacious
grasp. During the council it was
observed by General Hatch that
Ouray was born leader, and ex-
hibited diplomatic talents of high
order in managing his unruly sub
jects and dealing with every point
advanced by the commission. His
age Is about forty-five, and he has
but one wife and child.

FulIer Particulars of tho Penn
erania Disaster.
LONDON, Nov. Goth. - Further
particulars of the Pomeranis dis
aster show that, at the time of col
lsion, she was near Dungeness
Point, about three miles from
shore. She was struck on the star-
board side amidships. Distress
signals were gwen and responded
to by the steamer Glengary, pro.
ceeding doWn the channel, which
made all speed towards the scene of
disaster. There were nine boats on
the Pomerania, four of which
were crushed in the collision. Five
were got off, but one being over
crowded with passengers, was sunk.
All the boats pulled away from the
doomed vessel, leaving the captain,
who refused to quit the ship until
the last moment. The last boat to
leave was under the chief officer,
who did all in his power to per.
suade the captain to leave
After pulling for half an
hour the survivors were picked up
by the Glengary. One gentle nan
was taken from the water In an un-
conscious state and restored. The
Glengary stayed near the scene till
daybreak, when the Pomerania
was seen with her masts above wa
ter. The Glengary then proceeded
to Dover with those saved and land
ed them at o'clock, when they
were taken to the Sailors Home
and treated with every kindness.
The greatest possible order under
the circumstances was maintained
by the officers and crew.
LATER -Fifty.eight are still miss
ing. Most of those rescued had
nothing on save night clothes, and,
as the night was very cold, their
suffering was intense. The larger
portion were in the water clinging
to the debris of the wreck when
rescued. But few had succeeded IN
getting into the boats before she
went down.
Another statement of the disas.
ter says that the Pomerania was
proceeding at moderate speed when
deafening crash was heard. The
DECKS were soon filled with af.
frighted passengers. The confusion
was terrible aud the air filled with
prayers and curses. The veteran
Captain Schwenzen stood on the
bridge giving orders in cool voice
to have the life boats cut from the
davits. A little delay unfortunate.
ly occurred in launching the boats,
the night being dark and foggy.
OF the eight boats the Pomerania
carried, five were successful y
Launched, each boat holding twenty
person in addition to their ere ws.
Chief officer FranZen command
ed the last boat. AS he put off the
Captain, who was on the bridge,
called to him to keep as close to the
Pomerania as possible. He laid to
about ten yards from the steamer,
but she went down in few min
utes. Officer FranZen says there
was q thick fog all day Monday.
About 45 minutes after ii O'clock
at night, without hardly the slight.
