WASHINGTON, May 26.-In the Senate
to-day the Pensions Deficiency bill was
taken up. On motion OF Mr.. Eaton,
$4,000 additional for the Senate COM
mittee expenses were added. Mr.. Win
dom offered an amendment approprla-
ting S60O,OO0 for the payment OF the
bills OF United States Marshals and
their deputies, earned during the fiscal
year ending June 80, 1880. He sup
posed that this had. been omitted by
oversight, as the committee knew the
courts were being stopped all over the
country for the want OF an appr0prla-
ton. Mr. Eaton regretted the amend
ment had been offered. The Commls-
sioner OF Pensions called on him to-day
and represented the urgent need
OF having million dollars
before June lst to pay the pensions.
The amendment. il debated, would de-
lay the bill greatly. The amendment
was rejected by party vote-yeas, %;
nays, 33. Senator Brown cast his first
vote on this question, voting nay. The
amendments were agreed to, apprOpri-
ating SIS, 900 for the propagation OF food
for fishes, Sl2, 800 for fish Matching
steamer and machinery, $4,000 for YES
sells for coast survey and Sl5,OOO for the

Temperance is attracting much atten
ton, showing itself in local option laws,
societies, crusades and restrictions upon
liquor production; bu. with all these eff
forts, the consumption is enormous, and.
undoubtedly, the reason is. because there
is nothing streDuously advocated to re-
lieve and destroy the craving for stimu-
lants. But. if the disease was treated
nationally by arousine the torpid Liver with
Simmons Liver Regulator. the dispirited
drunkard would find his cravings soon
dissipated, and with cleared head and
active Liver, he would not want liquor.
