T0-DAYS TELEGRAPHIC DISPATCHES
To-day's Congressional Proceedings.
SENATE,

After the transactions of some business,
an order was made for an adjournment
from to-day until Wednesday, in honor of
Decoration Day.
HOUSE.
The House opened this morning with
many indications of the bitter parliamentary
conflict expected during the day. The two
sections of the hall contained fewer vacant
chairs than usual and the galleries were
pretty well filled.
As soon as the reading of the journal was
ended, Mr.. Reed of Maine, called up for
consideration the proposed amendment to
the rule, prohibiting dilatory motion on
contested election case. The question of
consideration, that is, Shall the House now
consider it?' was instantly raised by Mr..
Randall, of Penn, and that was followed by
motion of Mr.. Kenna, of West Virginia. TO
adjourn and by one of Mr.. Blackburn, Of
Kentucky. that when the House adjourn it
be to meet on Wednesday next, stating Us a
reason for the motion that Tuesday was
Decoration Day. On the latter motion the
yeas and nays were ordered; and the tactics
OF obstruction were thus put in operation
The vote OH Blackburn's motion was an
nounced at H. 40 as yeas 2, nays 145; and
the speaker declared the motion lost there
upon,
Mr. Randall moved that when the House
adjourned to-day it be to meet on Thursday
next.
On that Mr.. Reed, of Maine, made the
point of order that on a proposition to amend
the rules dilatory motions cannot be enter
tanned
Mr.Randall denied the right ofthe speaker
to put any such construction on his motion
Mr.. Reed proposed to discuss the point of
order and suggested that limit should be
put on that discussion. No agreement TO
that end, however, was made and the
speaker said that he would not make the
limitation less than an hour on each side.
Mr.. Reed then opened the discussion,
claiming that the minority had no right
further to delay the action of the House.
At the conclusion of Mr.. Reeds remarks,
Mr.. Randall moved that when the House
adjourn it be to meet on Thursday next
This caused much debate between Messrs.
Reed, Randall, kenna, and kasson, with
occasional remarks from the Speaker in re-
gard to dilatory motions, parliamentary
tactics, SC; the deadlock all the time re-
naming as firm as ever
LATER
5p. MAT half-past four the Speaker by
his exercise of arbitrary authority, took the
side of the republicans and decided that they
could change the rules to suit themselves.
Mr.. Randall appealed, and an aye and nc
vote on the appeal is now in progress.

FROM EVIDENCE, about the reliability of
which there can be no doubt, it is ascertain
. cd that the leading republicans in every
portion Of Virginia are dissatisfied with the
manner in which they have been treated by
the Administration in making them subor-
dinate to the men who year or two ago
were their most rroscrptivc political oppo-
nents. But it is no less certain that there
are but few OF them manly enough to make
public manifestation of their dssatisfac-

The Presbyteriaus,


In the General Assembly of the Northern
Presbyterian Church, at Springfield, Ills,
Saturday, report was adopted discounte-
nancing the publication Of Sunday papers,
and the running of railroad trains on that
day. The standing committee on theologi
cal scminaries reported resolutions which
were adopted, solcmnly warning religious
teachers against intoxicating any view or
adopting any methods which may tend to
unsettle faith in the doctrine of Divine
origin and plenary inspiration of the Scrip
lures, or in the Presbyterian doctrines,
whether by eXalting human conjecture or
applying the hypothesis of evolution, ''un-
verified and incapable of notification" to the
Bible.
The assembly received the following dis
patch:

GENERAL CURTIS has just been tried in
New York and found guilty of m intraction
of the United States statute prohibiting
employees Of the Government from assessing

day the verdict in the Generals case was rem

mittee issued Il circular making IN aSscsS-
mcnt Of , per cent upon the salary Of every
employee of the Government for election
purposes, and stated, by authority, that the
payment of such assessment would not he

official quarter. OF course, includes the

The DEADLOCK that has existed in the
than week past, and that has necessarily
prevented the transaction of any other bust
ness by that House, does not result from
any objection the democrats have to de-
cision in the contested election case of Mack
ey against Dibble, but solely and entirely
from their justifable opposition to decis-
ion rendered upon eX partc evidence and
without allowing the contcstec the benefit
Of the testimony he may be able to produce

the House itself, that really tries such cases
and that committee refused to allow Mr.
Dibble to introduce the evidence that had
been collected since he became Il principal
in the case by reason Of the death OF MI

The following statement of William
]. Coughlin, of Somerville, Mass, Is so
remarkable that we beg to ask for 1t
the attention of our readers. He says:
SIN the fall of 1876 / was taken with
a violent bleeding Of the lungs, followed
by a severe cough. / Don began to
lose my appetite and flesh. L was so
weak at one time that L could not leave
my bed. In the summer of 1877 L was
admitted to the city hospital. While
there the doctors said / had a hole in
my left lung as big as a half dollar. ]
expended over a hundred dollars in
doctors and medicines. 1 was so far
gone at one time a report went around
that l was dead. 1 gave up hope, but
a friend told me Of DR.. VIM. Hal't
Balsam for the Lungs. l laughed al
my friends, thinking that my case was
| i%ncurable, but l got a bottle to satisfy
them, when to my surprise INT gratih
| cation, / commenced TO feel better
| My hope, once dead, began TO revive
| and to-day / feel in better spirits thar
L have the past three years.

it, SO that every n afflicted with Dis
eased Lungs will be induced to TAX

and be convinced that Consumption
can be cured. l have taken two bot
tiles, and can positively say that it ha
done more good than all the othe

disappeared, and 1 shall oon be able t

What that remedy is has been fully
explained in this article, and in com

not to their ~credulity, but to their judg-

pure and vegetable in its nature, but it
has proven so effective hat it is used
more extensively than any other known
