So large are the receipts now from
Customs that Congress will be likely
to make prodigal expenditures for
purposes heretofore decreed hardly
legitimate subjects Of any expenditure
at all. Up to the sixteenth Of this
month $l3, 900, 600 had been received,
which is far in advance Of any similar

The House is discussing the gov
eminent Printing Office, and the pay
ment of Special Deputy Marshals, and
the long delay political debate may
be had on these subjects. The Dem
ocrats desire to legislate the Govern
meht Printer out of office, and give
control Of the printing to the Senate.
They also desire to- pass . bill for the
payment Of Marshals aud Deputy
Maaslla's, without making provisions
for the especial" or election marshala
and the Republicans win antagonize
both propositions.
In the Senate Committee of Elec-
tons all the Democrats favor the
seating of Mr.. Spoffortl as Senator
from Louisiana, ap4 all the Repub
ilicans desire to continue Mr., Kellogg
in his seat. This will give the Senate

child, bright-eyed daughter, is snatch
ed away in an ungaurded moment, to
grace the next war dance. When we
read the heartrending details of these
savage depredations, we are apt to blame
the government for not taking more
strict precautions to insure the settlers
protection. But we daily read of the
depredatiOnS of that arch-fend, con-
sumption, with scarcely thought of the
terrible inroads it is making in human
life. Tens of thousands of homes are
annually disOlated by consumption to
one by Indian outrage. Like the Indian.
consumption Oftenest comes stealthily,
and no danger is apprehended until the
victim suddedly finds himself hopelessly
ensnared, and deaths fatal arrow ends
the scene. DR.. Pierce's Golden Medi-

or blOOd-purifier, and tonic, has restored
thousands of cOmsumptives who had
every other remedy recommended to
them, without obtaining ans relief, and
