ditional legislation to prevent the importa-
ton of contagious or infectious diseases
from foreign countries on the coasts and
boundaries of the United States, was taken

Mr.. Pasco offered an amendment direct
ing the committee to inquire further
into the introduction Of yellow fever in
Florida and other states during the present
year.

some explanatory remarks by Mr.. Ed

said, that the House would not agree
to the use Of the phrase adopted in the
joint resolution in direct aid of
the sufferers on the ground that it is beyond
the constitutional authority of congress to
do thing Of that kind, as particularly
illuminated and set forth in the message
from the President vetoing the bill for the
distribution Of seeds In certain counties in
Texas, aud so in order to accommodate the
sollcitude Of the house on that subject the
conference committee had agreed TO a par

thing. The Senate conferees thought that
they had accomplished the end without
wounding the constitutional sensibilities Of
anybody.

Capture of Richard Golden.
BAXLEY, GA, Oct. 2.-Horace Bee, the
negro who was conuicted here at the March
term of murder and sentenced to be hunged,
was granted new trial by Judge Atkin-
son in hearing at Brunswick last Friday.
Newly discovered evidence was the ground
upon which the new trial was granted. Bee
will probably be tried again at the next
term of the court, the second week in DC
tober.
Sheriff Branch received card Friday
from the sheriff of Mcintosh county saving
that he had under arrest Richard Golden,
alias Bill Jordan, and requesting him to
come at once for him. Golden alias Jordon
was indicted in this county as an accom-
plice in the killing of Moses Taylor, white
man, about two years ago, and until now
succeeded in eluding the officers. The
killing of Taylor was one of the most out
rageous murders ever committed in this
county. A white man named Dopson and
Golden alias Jordan went to Taylor's home
at night, called him out and riddled him
with buckshot in the provence Of his family.
Taylor was n very poor and an inoffensive
man, with large aud helpless family, and
was the last man anybody but a flend would
think of killing. Dopson has never been
apprehended, having quit the country imme-
diately after committing the crime.

nominally at 5000, 1856, consisting of casl
