THE senate has confirmed the nomination
of Fills Bierhower as United States
marshal for Nebraska.
THE bill to make the commissioner OF
agriculture cabinet officer came within
one vote of passing the house of repre-
sentatives, under a suspension of the
rules.
| Nh. CoNKIING has introduced a series
of resolutions calling on the treasury for
detailed statement of the administration
of the New York custom house in the
matter of appointments, prosecutions and
removals in connection with the civil SER
vice board established in that service, and
they have been adopted.
The house committee on war claims has
decided to report adversely upon Repre-
sentative Dunton's bill Ito provide for the
settlement of unpaid claims of those Off
GERS of the line of the Revolutionary army
who served to the close of the war of indie
pendence, and are so returned on the
books of the treasury The bill if adopt
ed would have involved the payment of
several million dollars.
GEN. GARFIELD can no longer set up as
an excuse for not talking about his cabinet
the fact Of his election not having been
formally declared. 1t was so declared at
thirty-hve minutes after one o'clock Feb.
9th, in the house of representatives,.
The deep, sonorous voice OF Nice-P President
Wheeler, as solemn as a bishop in ordain-
Ing priest, declared the result of the
electoral count in the usual formula of all
Iundisputed counts. Following the sonor-
Gus utterance there came burst OF up
plause, and Immediately the joint conven-
tion adjourned, 1t was short song, soon
sung.

for its correction. He moved an amend
mcnt to the legislative appropriation bill
providing that no member shall he paid
his monthly salary until he shall have GER
tilted that he has not been absent from the
sittings of the houses except on account
of sickness, and that all absence otherwise
than from sickness shall be deducted from
the members monthly pay. This is the
law at present, hnt il is a dead letter, and
Mr.. Dibrcrs amendment looked to its en-
forcemcnt. The amendment was attacked
with vigor, and, of course, voted down.
IT is current gossip around the capital
and in general political circles that demo-
cratic objection to the retirement Of Ulysses
S Grant from the army, with the rank and
pay which belonged to him when he re-
signed to accept the presidency Of the
United States, will be withdrawn to such
an extent az to allow the passage Of the
bill before the expiration of the forty
sixth congress. The democrats who vote
for that measure will, however, insist that
the bill shall contain the provision con
ferring on Grant command in accord
ance with his retired rank in the event of
an emergency. This change Of front on
the part of congressional democrats is &C.
counted for BY the presumed fact that they
are somewhat afraid Of the general in
politics. ana wish to shelve him, as they
think, permanently. 1t is expected that

SOME of the newspapers are puzzled
to know what relation President Hayes
and Stanley Matthews ST. stain to each
other. Some take them for brothers
in-law, which is not correct. A broth
er Of Mrs. Hayes married a sister OF
Mr. Matthews. But what avails such
kinship when the consequently that
tells in the case is found in the fact
that they are both Ohio men? God
made Of one blood all nations that
dwell ON the face of the earth, and es-
pecially all OHIO politicians.

The BEGINNING of the End

The beginning Of disease is slight debility or
disorder OF some of the vital organs, the stomach,
the liver or the bowels usually. There are
dyspeptic symptoms, the liver il Troublesome, the
skin grows tawuey and unhealthy looking, there
are pains on the right side or through tho right
shoulder blade The climax is often an utter
proStration If thsphySica energies, perhaps fatal
issue. But if the difficulty is met in time with
Hostetters Stomach Bittcrs, which is always
effective as a remedy, should be rusorted to at an
early stage, there win be no reason to apprehend
those injurious subsequent effects upon the system
often eutailed by entirely cured diseases. Far
better is it also, to employ this safe remedial
agent in fever and ague, and other malarial com
plants than quinino and other potent drugs,
which even when they do prove etfectual for q
time, ruin the stomach and impair the general
health.

WHAT will people say who declaim
against the annual robbery Of the
river and harbor bill, when they read
of the way that Captain Eads mapipu-

The river and HORROR swindle has this
to recommend it---that it proposes to
have the money expended in our own
country. and for the benefit Of our
own citizens, aud for the Improvement
of our OWN harbors; whereas the Eads
scheme proposes TO spend the money

An ENGLISH WEDDING.
The Marriage of Lord Colin Campbell
TO the Beautiful Miss Blood.

Special dispatch to the Cincinnati Gazette.
New YORK, August o,-The Lon
don Truth describes Miss Bloods
wedding as follows:
Never had a bride lovelier wed
ding morning than last Thursday.
The sun shone brightly, but not SO
overpoweringly as on the previous
days on the grass and trees that
make the small chllrchyard Of the
Savoy Chapel so beautiful, while the
friends of Miss Blood and
Lord Colin Campbell were assem-
bled to witness their marriage.
Some of the youthful brides
maids who had arrived very early
we're much exercised as to whether
they we're to fall in the bridal pro-
cession at the gate or at the church
door. The latter proved to be the
order of the day. Shortly after the
six ladies, in their pretty blue, lace
trimmed muslin dresses, muslin
fchus, and mob caps had ranged
themselves in readiness for the bride,
Princess Louise arrived, leaning on
the arm of the Duke of Argyll. The
Princess wore cream colored dress,
slightly trimmed with dark peacock
blue, and small bonnet of the latter
color. The brides magnificent fig
ure was seen to advantage in her
wedding gown of satin brocade and
China crepe. A wreath of natural
orange blossoms and white tulle
vail were thrown over her very dark
hair.
The service was unnecessarily long,
not less than three hymns being
sung one consequence OF which was
the fainting Of little chorister.
The procession from the church to
the carriages, up the crimson carr
peted path under the trees, was very
pretty, the white robed choristers
preceding the bride and bridefroom
and the Princess Louise and the
