Washington, May 6.- Senate.
The following bills were introduced
and appropriately referred:
By Van Wyck, be it enacted, etc.,
that it shall be unlawful for any per
son or' !associatien of persons, now
citizens of the United States, of any
corporation or company organized
under authority of any f oreiga State,
prince or potentate, to acquire title
from the United States to a greater
quantity of public land than individ
ual citizens of the United States are
authorized to enter under settlement

, By .Butler, making appropriation
for' repair of the custom house wall at
Charleston, S, C.
' By Morgan; to grant the Gulf and

water courses.
On the conclusion of routine morn
in busirjefts Frye moved,.fcor&ke up
therpping.hut- TB motion was
agredlftM fejrf York,
addressed the Senate in favor of the
bill. He criticised Vest's position,
and insisted that free ships would not
solve the problem of a merchant ma
rine1 AH the leading merchants who
bad beia. before. theSenate committee
that investigated the subject had, he
said, agreed that free ships would be
no relief. After touching upon
the tariff,: Miller said he . was not
interested in. trymg tx help the sort of
merchant marin that consisted of
ships built in England by English
labor and. of English material and
manned 'by English sailors, a marine
of which the only thing American
would be the-flag. He did not care a
fig for,9uobi:4L marine. If we could
not have vessels of our own make and
manned by American sailors,- we
might as well say with the free trad
ers that it does not make any differ
ence who; has our shipping. If that
were to be the outcome of this bijl he
would feel no interest iri it andf 'care
nothina About it. . , t
Tbe1 debate was continued by Frye.
Vest,'cherson, 'Becr.Morrill and
Hale. "A - '
While Beck was speaking Dawes
made several attempts to be recog
nized by.tiiaduir, out Beck xef used
to yield the floor, saying that when
thafenator made, tha suggestion that
he C$e&)oild work here for the
interesta of teaj out American people
he must decline to yield to him. Mr.
Frye hoped to secure unanimous
consent to the taking of the vote to
morrow at 3 o'clock.
Beck refused to assent to this and
suggested that the betterplan would
be to take up the House bill, amend
it and pass it, thus securing some law
at ttaSa session Of Congress. '
Fr$ had hoped he would have
been allowed the ' courtesy usually
shown BetUktowr having bills in charge
of managing tbe bill.
Beck rephed that he could not con
sent to shutting off the ..debate on so
important a measure and .hfingjng it
to a vote, while the shipping bill
already passed by the House ,wa i
the Senate and awaiting action.
Frye said he had had the House
bill laid on the table when it came to,
the Senate in order that he might
have an opportunity "of . taking it up
when in Mb judgment; 1 he being in
charge of the Senate bill, it might be
proper to take it up.
Beck remarked that he was glad to
hear this, hut he could not consent to
closing the debate to-morrow.
Logan said the Senators would
doubtless bo in a better humor to
morrow. . . j
Frye gav notice that he would
endeavor to have the bill acted on to
morrow. Executive session. Adjourned.
House. Lowry, of Indiana, called
up the Virginia contested election
case of Ferrel vs. Paul.
Miller, of Pennsylvania, said ithat
the minority of the committee had
not time. to prepare its report, and
asked that the case go over until
Wednesday, and Turner, of Georgia,
thought this request should be ac
ceded, to. Lowry refused to do so,
however, and Miller raised a question
of consideration.
The House determined by a vote of
yeas 142, nays 88, to consider the
election case. Though this vote can
in no sense be regarded as a test vote
upon the tariff bill, it is not without
it bearing pnt-that measure. It is
t that Terrell will vote
lstriktnicvbUt tfcif enactmc
i of the Marriaon bilk and oxriiur
to. the admitted closeness of the vote
on that question, the value of a single
vote is apparent. ? .
In speaking for tbe minority of the
committee on electiona? Hepburn, of
Iowa, referred toth ?mstter, paying
that some remarkable exigency must
have arisen torfhdnee tha gentleman
from Indiana, Lowry, to outrage pro
priety and trample on decency by
calling the case up before the minor
ity had had an opportunity to have
its views printed.
After a long debate, J. 8. Wise, of
Virginia, spoke strongly and bitterly
in opposition to the claims of O'Fer
rell, denounced tbe Democratic party
for inconsistency and accused it of
attempting, to steal a seat in the
House on testimony on which a man
would not shoot a pointer dog for
eating eggs. He know that his own
ntet was m petfl, but he denied that
the Democratic party of the House
was about to see a Virginia Bourbon
riding into it on Barmim's mule
from ' Indiana. It ' was a fitting
time for Virginia Bourbons to come
with hands smeared with the blood
"xtf murdered negroes, with ballots
. strangled and stolen and with every
law violated. They come up to the
fqruntaiuhead of National Democracy
to be signed with the cross of National
fraud.
Immediately Q p. Wise and Mr.
TJabell, of Virginia, were on their feet
to reply, but Lowry secured the
floor, and he said: The gentleman
from Virginia, J. S. Wise, was seek
ing martyr's crown from the Democ
racy. He, Lowry, would like to
know whether he would permit him
to place it on his head in his kitchen.

EVE OF BATTLE.
The TanffBill to Pass Without Essen,
tial JMoifico.tlon Jost How the
Thiac Stands What is Thought of
the Mongrel Conventions' Work.
Correspondence ot Th Observer.
Washington, May 5. For three or
four days the air has been full of
rumors of compromise, but the
various propositions have ended m
smoke. The majority for the tariff
bill may not be large, but it is certain.
Barbour and George D. Wise, ot Vir
ginia, Hardy, of New York, and
others, have changed front and mean
to vote both against the motion to
strike out and in favor of the bill.
After the defeat of the effort to kill
the measure on Tuesday it will be
discussed under the five-minute rule,
and possibly amended in some re
spects. The debate may thus run on
a day or two, or it may close that
evening. It is not likely to stretch
out over the whole week.
Gen. Cox thinks that a bill to
abolish the tobacco and reduce the
brandy tajf wuTpags the House after
tho passage op tb tariff fcfieafure.
Mr: 'Skinner is notMnguine as to the
internal revenue, but is quite so in
regard to tb-tariff. All of the others
except Gen. Vance have been absent,
and are not posted as to the very
latest phase f the situation.
Outside of Congressmen I do not
find among intelligent observers any
feeling of certainty that our matters
will be arranged at this session. Yet
I am sure, from a careful survey frf
the premises, that something import
ant will result from the agitation.
:Vve may not be able this year to
secure the extensive reduction of1 the
unnecessary officers, so much desired,
but it is almost certain that, tobacco
will be unfettered and fruit brandy
brought down to ten cents on 'the
gallon. This would be hailed as a,
big thing under all the circumstances,
In the free conversations on State
politics, which took place around the
Capitol yesterday, one could learn
that the action of the Mongrel con
vention at Raleigh the day before
had aroused no fears. On all hands
the ticket was voted a failure. Five
or six North Carolinians met in a
certain office. It was soon after the
arrival ol New York papers with full
proceedings of the convention. Said
one gentleman, a Representative in
Congress: "This is nothing like such
a ticket as I expected. Russell would
nave given us more trouoie tnan
York will in the race for Governor.
As to Fred Winston, that is too
ridiculous." Another, an eastern man,
icommented on Stanton's restless office-seeking
and local unpopularity.
"Why," said he, "the negroes in his
own country detest him." This gen
tleman thought Pripe would have
been a stronger man at the head of
the ticket. Another said : "If Fowl
xr Grissom could.bav been prevailed
Upori although I beheve the former
will act with the Democratic party
we should have had some trouble."
Kussell, all conceded, was the ablest
man on the ticket, although one gen
tleman said Faircloth was perhaps
.he least exceptionable. The general
judgment here is that this ticket can
easily be beaten witn a strong and
carefully selected ticket in opposition.
York is not equal to any man who is
likely to be nominated, and it would
be very difficult for the Democrats to
choose men who as a whole are so
weak before the public as the pres
ent hybrid combination. One of the
wisest politicians in the State said to
me daring the day: "We can beat
this ticket from twenty to thirty
thousand."
Mr., Eaton's speech will be used by
JiiG Republicans as a campaign docu
ment. ne oia gentleman new on
the helve. All the Southern men in
Congress appear to be displeased with
his sectional allusions and his cheap
effort to disparage revenue reform by
showing that the - Confederate Con
stitution provided for free trade ab
solute. Gen. Cox's speech in reply,
delivered on Friday, was able, tem
perate and satisfactory. In the
twenty minutes at bis disposal he
could deliver only the third of the
argument which he had nroDosed. It
will all appear in the Record. The
panraaungwuie History axiu in
felicities of the internal revenue sys
tem will be very readable., On the
same afternoon Gen. Vance had the
North Carolina resolutions read from
the clerk's desk, and commented in
strong terms upon the tyranny and
corruption of the system. He cited
the reports of special . examiners in
confirmation of his own ; statements,
and related the anecdote of the
preacher "who while praying for other
classes of sinners petitioned the Lord
to bless even ? the dirty revenue
men." , 'v
The Blaine boom it boometh, . but
there are those who say that if James
G.v extends bis history he will have
to give some account of the third de
feat of the gentleman" front Maine.
His very prominence a month before
the convention concentrates the fire
of all theother candidates. To change
the figure, a dark horse will win as
he did when Hay es and Garfield were
nominated r.Tnat. Horse may be
Grant. It -may be. Boh.. Lincoln.
It may be Gresham. Democratic
talk is still more largely: on Tilden
than any other.
A bill placing the name of Col. C.
A, Cilley on the pension roll passed
the House under the direction of Gen.
Vance Friday evening. The facts
are as follows : The general pension
law requires proof that disability
arising subsequent to service proceed
ed directly from such service. Brev
et Colonel Clinton A. Cilley was in
jured at the battle of Chickamauga,
Ga., September 20, 1863, by his horse
falling upon his left leg and pinning
him to the ground for some time. He
believes that the disease of sciatica,
which afflicted him after leavmg the
army in 1866, was due to this cause,
and this is the opinion of physicians.
But as he is not able to establish the
fact by testimony such as is required
by law this special provision' in his
case is asked for. Gen. Vance pre
sented these facts.
I understand that Gen Clingman
will support good Democrats against
bad Republicans this year, and he
does not regard third patty prospects
at all brilliant. As to his own candi
dacy in the Asheville district I make
out that he denies that there is" any
thing in the recent report that he is
to run as an independent candidate.
Farther this deponeth saveth not. for
he knoweth not.
I can learn of only two North Caro
linians who have been . here in the
last four days, Capt. A. M Noble,
of Senna, and Pembroke Jones, of
Wilmington.
All of the absent Representatives
had returned yesterday except Judge
Bennett. , Gen. Ransom, of late, has

ABOUT
THE,
STATE.
Our weekly exchanges are giving
Mr. P. D. Walker a good boom for
Attorney-General.
On last Friday, $i0,7OO worth of
tobacco was sold in Oxford, and they
say it was a dull day there, too.
The Odell Manufacturing Co., of
Concord, have applied for space 40x8

What Rosadalls Tflll Do.
Rosadalis is a sovereign remedy for all diseases
of the blood. It has no equal for the cure ot ner
vous disorders. Read this certificate: "I would
like to bear testimony to the merits of Rosadalis
by saying that some eight years ago I was totally
prostrated and could get no relief from our family
Fhyslcian, but after taking one bottle of Rosadalis
became entirely restored to health. I now weigh
175 lbs, but when I first took your medicine I
weighed only 13a I cheerfully recommend It to
all, and especially to those afflicted with nervous
debility.

A REALLY PURE STIMLUL ANT
This whiskey is controlled entirely by
Venable & Hepman, New York. It is
distilled in. Maryland in the slate water
regions of that State from the small
grain grown there. The distillation is
superintended by a gentleman who
thoroughly understands his business.
Nothing deleterious is permitted to
enter into its composition, and none of
it i allowed to be sold until fully 3
years old, in order that it may be en
tirely free by evaporation from fusei
oil. Venable & Heyman offer these
goods as perfectly' pate, to fill a long
felt want for medical purposes. It is
their own brand, , and they stake their :
reputation on the truth of this assertion.
