No. 10 East ajartin Street.
Wasuikqton, July 2 Sxnati.
The Senate proceeded to voto on the re
served amendments to the legislative
appropriation bill.
A long discussion took place on the
amendment reduoing the number of
Senate messengers from 27 to 25.
The amendment was rejected 21 to 25.
There were three other amendments in
the same line of economy. Two of
them were agreed to and one rejected
on a )ea and nay vote.
An amendment for an additional clerk
for the civil service commission was op
posed by Mr. Vance, who remarked
that if the commission was unable to do
any more business it would be so much
the better.
Mr. Saulfbury looked upon the civil
servioe commission from beginning to
end as a useless piece of machinery; if
he had his way he would repeal the
law,
Mr. Voorhees said that he had'never
been for the law. Bleeping or waking,
but while it was law he would treat it
fairly and give it a fair chance. If
there was any good in it he hoped the
good would come out. The tact would
be made manifest in due time and the
people would pass upon it.
Mr. Ingalls did not wonder at Mr.
VoOrhees being in favor of the civil ser
vice law as administered by the Demo
cratic party, and he quoted from; the
statement of the commissioner of pen
sions that out of seventy-seven men ap
pointed by nun under the civu service
rule, seventy-two were democrats and
the other fife were of unknown polities.
tie had no doubt that if the clerical foroe
of the commission had been sufficient
the political of the other five would have
been found out and the men would have
been Democrats.
Mr. Voorhees defended the commis
sioner of pensions and commended the
practice of the two greafparties in put
ting their adherents in omoe, still be
would no more out down the foroe of the
civil service commission or deny it the
means of giving the system a fair -trial
than he would vote to out off supplies
from an army in the field, even if he did
not approve the policy of the war. The
commission was discharging its duty,
and he was upholding its hands in a
liberal and proper spirit.
Mr. Call Aaid he did not propose now
to ; arraign, t e law as being in the di
rection of autocracy and privileged
classes, or as being a clear denial of the
responsibilities of the President and
the heads of the departments to the peo
ple. He should take occasion before
- . . a a
the elose of the session to present his
opinion on that subject. All he wanted
to state now, was that no person in
Florida, whether Democrat or Republi
can has been able to obtain an of
fice under the civil service law. j
The discussion closed and an amend
ment was adopted to .all the amendments
being voted on. The bill was passed.
Mr. seweli then took up the river
and harbor appropriation bill, j Before
the reading of the bill was concluded,
Mr. Eustis at 4.30 called up the resolu
tions in connection with the death m
this city on the 14th of March; last, of
Hon. Michael Hahn, Representative
from Louisiana. After the delivery of
eulogies on the life and character of the
deceased by Messrs. JjiUstis & (iibson,
the resolutions were adopted and the
Senate adjourned until tomorrow, ;
houbi.
Mr. PayBon, ef Illinois, from the
committee on . public lands, reported
back the bill forfeiting land grants to
certain Southern States to aid in the
construction of railroads, with the Sen
ate amendment, excepting the Gulf &
Ship Island railroad from the! terms of
forfeiture.; Mr. Payson said j that the
committee recommended concurrence in
the amendment .
He was in favor of the forfeiture of the
Gulf and Ship Island lands,; but the
Senate had taken a start against this
forfeiture, and he - feared that if the
amendment was not concurred in the
whole bill, which involved 7,000,000
i , i ma! H .
acres of land, misnt tail, ine bill as
amended would forfeit the lands of six
railroads, and he thought six-sevenths
of a loaf better than no bread.
Mr. Anderson, of Kansas, opposed
concurrence. Jae- wished to lei the
country understand the position in
which the senate placed the House on
these forfeiture bills. He was not ready
to have the thumb-screw Dut nnon him
meat, and will admit of corn meal, corn-1 by the Senate or by any conceivable
Stalks, or straw, as. a part of the ration, form of railroad ;power. The question
committee on invalid pensions, submit
ted a report upon the vi to message of
the President on the bill granting a
pension to Carter Wt Tiller.
Mr. Sawyer, of New York, submitted
a similar rport on the veto message on
the bill granting a pension to Andrew
J.Wilson.' The reports were ordered
printed and laid over for the present.
The House then went into committee
of the whole on the general deficiency
bill.
There was no general debate and
the bill was forthwith read for amend
ment. Mr. Canron, of Illinois, offered en
amendment making an appropriation for
the payment of the claims of the Pacific
Mail Steamship Co. for the transporta
tion of troops to Panama in Juue, '85
He maintained that It was the duty of
Congress to pay this claim, which had
accrued by reason of an order of Presi
dent Clevelaisd under the statute send
ing troops to Panama fv, protect tl:o
property of American citizens. Not :o
provide the appropriation would be v
cast censure on the President. The
amendment was agreed to by a vote of
76 to 42.
After finishing Forty -three of 119
pages of the bill, the committee rose
and the House at 5 o'clock took a recess
until 8 o'clock, the evening session to
be for the consideration of pension bills.
Washington, D. C. , July 2 The
House committee on invalid pensions
has resolved to attempt to pass over the
President's veto the bill granting a pen1
sion to Andrew J. Wilson, of New
York, and Mr. Sawyer today reported
the measure back toi tin; House, giving
notice that it would be called up to
morrow. It appears from the report of
the committee that Wilson was drafted
into the army, notwithstanding his al
legation that he was suffering from deaf
ness and an eye complaint. In the ser
vioe he contracted rheumatism and kid
ney disease, on which he based au
application for a pension. His appli
cation was rejected by the pension
bureau on the ground that he was dis
abled before enlistment, which was also
tho reason for the veto The commit
toe take the position that under the cir
cumstances the government is estopped
from settling up the claim cf prior dis
ability. Taulbee, who is a member of
the invalid pension committee, also re
ported back a bill granting a pension to
C W. Tiller, with a recommendation
that it pass over the President's veto.;
1 his is the ease of the Louisville police
man, whose application for a pension
was denied by the pension bureau, on
the ground that the dependency of the
claimant was not established.

Richmond, Va., July 2. A heavy rain
fall in the past forty-eight hours has
caused a damaging rise in all the streams
in this section of the State. James river
at this point is ten feet above the high
water mark, and all the wharves in the
lower part of the city (Rocketts) are
submerged, the water being about two
feet deep on lower Main street, and
still rising. The people living in
that vicinity are moving out and
the merchants are removing their
goods to places of safety. No
apprehensions are felt, however,
of a serious freshet At Columbia, 55
miles above Richmond, the water is 22
feet above the low water mark and ris
ing slowly. Several trestles on the
Richmond & Alleghsny railroad have
been washed away, causing a temporary,
suspension of travel. The rise of water
in the North Anna river has caused the
stoppage of trains on the Richmond,
rreaericKSDurg at rotomac rauroaa.
No Northern mails have been received
here this afternoon or tonight, nor have
any gone North over that road. The
washouts on the Richmond & Danville
railroad have also stopped the traffic
over that line. The rainfall in Rich
mond in the last 48 hours was 2.75
inches.

Naw York. July 2 The convicted
boy cotters of the proprietor of the con
cert garden was arraigned in court to
day for sentence. Judge Barrett made
some strong remarkB to them on the
awlessnees of the crime of which they
were convicted. He said this was a vie
ation of peace to a oountry that wel
comed foreign born cititens; to a coun
try that offered freedom and the pnvi-
ege of right. Thev had violated nublio
rights and opinions, and their offence
was not short of blackmail. Distribu-
ioii' of i Lreulars before places of busi
ness was conspiracy and punishable as
ucn. lheir conduct if unpunished
would lead to savagery. They. may have
been misled by bad advice, but their
conscience should have rebuked them.
They did not use the money for their
own advantage, and this palliated their
offence. We are to'J that it had been
the custom to rob in that manner. He
would not impose the full penalty of the
aw as they were wbrkingmen. The
udge then sentenced Paul Willzrg and
lenry lloldorf to two years and ten
months at hard labor; Michael Strohe
and Julius Ropenberg to. one year and
six months imprisonment. Paul Dan
heiser the most violent of all the boy-
cotters, got three years and eight
months in the State prison.

Gen. Negrete has himself issued a cir-

Hindirson, July 1, 1886.
There was a musical concert at Bur
well hall last Tuesday evening for the
benefit of the new Methodist church.
The participants were introduced by
Rev. J. D Arnold as "our own boys
and girls," and they did well. ' Miss
Lola, Heater, of Granville county, and
Misses Lillian Arnold, Mary Arnold
and Sallie J. E. Young, of Henderson,
performed their several parts admirably,
capturing and holding the hearts of the
audience from the first to the last ap-
Eearance and doubtless carrying some
carts away with them. There was also
a cabbage-head present that need not be
mentioned.
The programme consisted: Part one,
of a chorus, twenty-five voices, a piano
solo, recitations by a well-trained elocu
tionist, a vocal trio, and a solo and
chorus. Part two opened with a novel
and highly amusing rendition of the
Grasshopper cantata, which was followed
by a vocal duet, a recitation and several
exquisitely rendered solos.
The ooncert was successful in every
respect, and will be repeated at Oxford
next week, probably Monday evening,
for the same object.
We are at last without a plaoe where
liquor may be purchased by the thirsty.
The dealers have submitted quietly to
the law and closed their bar-rooms.
There is not even a drug store in town
that handles it.
As a matter of public interest, your
ooriespondent made an attempt this
morning to learn the amount ol stock
remaing in the hands of the dealers,
and was fairly successful, ihree had
stock valued respectively at : fifteen,
twenty and twenty-five dollars, two
had none, one had none of oonsequenoe,
one had put his whole stock, remnants
of : various kinds, into one demijohn,
and was treating his friends to "mixed"
drinks, one had moved away before the
time expired, and of three, no informa
tion was obtained. From all attainable
acta we conclude that stock on hand
ww . 1
in Henderson, dees not exceed m
value, one hundred and fifty dollars. Of
the dealers, four will probably
devote themselves to the grocery busi
ness, one will go to Durham, one will
continue his billiard and pool tables
and sell soft drinks and cigars, and
after a while, says Madam Rumor, open

Scotxand Nick, June 1, 1886.
I notioe what your correspondent says
about cotton lice in your issue of yes
terday. The ravages of this insect
must be general throughout the otate,
for in this couutv its work is most de
structive, and I hear alarming, accounts
from other sections. It is thought that
warm weather and sunshine will drive
them away, but iust now the rains are
heavy and exoessive. The oldest in
habitant doesn t remember a June so

The ideal food for infancy is that
which nature provides. Civilised life,
especially in the great cities, has beoome
so harsh, onerous and artificial that it
affects even the little child . and its
mother. Incomplete infantile nutrition
annually costs the countn abatfCfJlion
lives and millions of dollars. To this
subject the great scientists of the oen
tury turned their attention at an early
date. We now know that certain prep
arations of cereals are best adapted for
oertain morbid conditions of the infantile
system and that others are of therapeutic
value in specino diseases. We also
know what is the best general type of
food for Iittte folks. Many ar tides in
the market approach this type, but that

Mrs. Winslow's Soothing Syrup should al
ways be used when children are cutting teeth.
It relieves the little sufferer at once, it pro
duces natural, quiet sleep by relieving the
child from pain, and the little cherub awakes
as "bright as a button." It is very pleasant, to
taste; soothes the child, softens the gums, allay
all pain, relieves wind, regulates the bowels
and is the beat known remedy for diarrhoea
whether rising from teething or other causes,
