there was no quorum, Senator Gallon
the following preamble and res
olutions, which were read for information:
WHEREAS, A very large and respecta-
BILE portion of the American people have
heretofore entertained grave and well
grounded doubts of the wisdom and pro-
priety of the recent veto Of the aDpropFia-
ton bills by the federal executive, and
WHEREAS. His excellency, Governor
Cullom. has by his recent letter, SO ex-
planned, defended aud endorsed that veto
as to triumphently expel such doubts
from the minds of all, except of those who
are unwilling to be convinced by such ar
guments, therefore
Resolved, that the lasting gratitude of
those whoee doubts. having beer 90 re-
moved is due to Hon. Shelby Nj. Cullom
for his timely and consoling letter. and be
Z further resolved that he be requested al
often as it is consistent with his other off.
clal duties, to give to the American peo-
pie from time to time. similar criticism.
upon the action of the federal congress. and

After debate, the chair, Lieut.. Gov

catarrh and Its Trsatmsnt-

One Of the most distressing diseases to
which humanity is heir, is that which at
tacks the fauces and glands of the nose.
affecting the mucous membranes. aud pro-
ducing heavine8s, dullness, and an acrid
discharge both by the way of the nose and
by way of the posterior passage TO the
throat. There are few among Americans
who do not know by experience some of the
symptoms of this disease, and upon many
it has fastened its elf with tenacity which
defes the skill of the ordinary physician.
The hawking and splitting for which
Americans are sometimes ridiculed by for
eigners, are due to this disease, produced
by the peculiarly changeable nature of our
climate, on account of which colds are con-
tracted, and settle in the head AID pass
thence to the throat and lungs.
From the details given of Rev. L. Z.
Childs' treatment,it seems to be easily ap-
piled and very simple in its action. His
application of the principle of Inhalation,
together with the knowledge OF the iuhal-
ents to be used, have given him this won
dertul success in the treatment of Catarrh
and Bronchitis The character of the GER
ti6cates, as we'll as the favorable notices
from well known publishers, who have
carefully examined the subject, must dispel
every doubt in regard to his reliability. We
would call especial attention to the adver-
| tisement, and request careful perusal OF
| the facts as set forth.

Important Decision

OMAHA, May l2.-Some weeks ago Mr.,
I. II. Tibbles, assistant editor Of the
Omaha Herald, engaged counsel to sue
out a writ of Habeas Corpus to release
Standing Bear and his party, who were
being returned to the Indian Territory by
military force, whence they had fed from
sickness which was rapidly exterminatiDg
the tribes. Hon j. L. Webster ard Hon.
n. j. Poppleton argued the case for the
Indians, without fee or reward. Judge
Dundy, of the United States court gave
his decision to day. He said that during
the IS years 10 which | have been engaged
IN administering the laws of my country, |
have never been called upon to decide that
appealed SO strongly TO my sympathy as
the one now under consideration, as fol
lows: First, that an Indian is a person
within the meaning OF the laws of the
United States, and has therefore right
to sue out habeas corpus IN the federal
court and before federal iudges,in all cases
where be may be confined or in custody
under the color of authority of tie United
States, or where he is restrained of liberty
in violation of the Constitution or laws of
the United States, second, that General
George Crook, respondent, being com.
mander of the military department of the
color of authority of the United States and
in violation of the laws thereof; third
that no rightful authority exists for re-
moving By force any of the Poncas to the
Indian Territory, as General Crook ha:
been directed to do; fourth, that Indian:
possess interest right of expatriation, a:
we'll as the more fortunate white race, auc
have the inalienable right to life, liberty
and pursuit of happiness so long as the!
obey the laws and do not trespass on for
bidden grounds; and fifth being restrained
of liberty under the color of authority 0
the United States and in violation of th'
laws thereof, the Standing Bear and hi
party must be discharged from custody
and il is SO ordered.

MISSOURI,

ST. LOUIS, May 13.-It has been de-
cided by the colored refugee relief board
in this city, to send the Rev. John Thir,
colored member and officer Of that board,
east, to present ID that section oil the facts
so far known relating to the negro exodus.
with the view of enlistiDg their sympathy
and cooperation in behalf of the refugees.
The board at its meeting last night
adopted resolution stating that they
have received information from their ac-
credited agents, and also from public of
fcers in Kansas, that all refugees who
have gone or been sent there, have found
work ut fair wages. Gen. Conway denies
being in favor of encouraging emigration
from the south, he does not believe in urg-
ing the negroes to leave their homes or
labor, but he says at places and planta-
tions, many are on the river banks await
ing transportation north He thinks they
should not only be permitted to come, but
should be brought up by any available
means. He says if the project of charter
ing steamers to bring them from these
camps are carried out, the vessels will
probably be obtained and Quilted on the
| Ohio river, where there are plenty Of
! friends of the movement and an abund
auce OF funds to further the plan. The
claims can be backed by a number OF very
wealthy Phianthropists in the east and ht
says there will be no lack OF money tt
carry out any scheme to aid the refugees
which may be agreed upon. Nothing vii
be done towards bringing the emlgrant
up the river until the quaker gentlemen
who left here yesterday, have reported th
condition they fnd the negroes III at tn
points they intend to visit.
