A resolution was also offered to apponion representation, and to limit to twelve as the maximum representa tion in the House of any District. Nothing else of importance done. Vicious Stories. [From the N. Y. Times.) It seems the report we had that a white man in Georgia had sawed off both the legs of a negro to prevent his running away, is not true. The person accused of the deed (who is a doctor) has [sent us a letter expo sing the falsity of the published statement. — The authorities iu North Carolina have also explicitly denied the innumerable reports which have been sent North that negroes were being hung and shot and stabbed whole sale in that State. In short, most of the tales which came for a while fast and num berless, from the South,- about unparalleled and fiendish cruelty to black men, have been proven false. The friends of the negro are doing him in finite harm by the circulation of such false hoods. Credulous people may believe them for a few days, but their contradiction de stroys faith, not only in the men who send them, but in the really truthful complaints concerning the treatment of the colored peo ple. The blacks are assuredly, in some places, suffering many wrougs at the hands of the superior race, but these will never be corrected by the publication of sensational falsehoods. A Snake Carried in a Lady’s Crino line.—One day last week a party of young folks, male and female, in the township of Frankliu, went to the huckelberry rack, a distance of about eight miles from this neigh borhood. After reaching the rock the day was spent in the usual way—by picking ber ries aud wandering over the vast plain of rock. Evening came, and the parties returned to their homos. One young lady after reaching her resi dence and performing her customary work about the house, repaired to her room to re tire for the night, aud, upon undressing, what did she discover, nicely entwined around her waist, between her crinoline and under gar ments, but a snake fully twenty inches in length. As might be expected, on making such a discover}-, the lady's feeliDgs can be better imagined than described. She gave the alarm, when other inmates of the house came to the room and dispatch ed his snakesliip. It turned out to be one of the spotted adder species, which is very nu merous on the rock. Now, how did the rep tile manage to get in that position ? The only way such can be accounted for is this: Sometime during the day the young wo man must have been sitting down on the rock, and the broad skirts now worn might possibly have covered the snake, which in its endeavors to escape, between the gar ment, aud so worked itself up to the waist unfelt by the party. She stales that several times during the day aud evening, she felt a sort of griping sensation about her body, hut delicacy in company constrained her to bear it rather than attempt to ascertained the cause. — Huntingdon Journal. (From the Courier des Etates Unis, Sept. 8.) We have received from Washington the following despatch : The Mexican question was discussed at the cabinet meeting held on Tuesday, and which was presided over by President John son All the members present expressed themselves favorable to the shtv y«o except Mr. HariaD, Secretary of the Interior, who desired that Juarez should nt least be ludi reetly supported. Quite a lively scene took place between Mr. Seward and Mr. Harlan, the premier telling Mr. Harlan that he sac rificed the true interests of tbe country to the love of vain popularity, that it was not dig nified for this government to aid .Tuarez in directly, and that it was not advantageous to support him openly. President Johnson fully agrees with the views of the Secretary of the State, and declared that ho regretted the speech of Mr. Harlan made some time since in public ; and that members of tbe cabinet ought uever to forget that their words are always construed as haring been inspired by the government. Ho would lo9e no oppor tunity to disavow any such ireonsidcrate speeches the same as he had disavowed Sher idan's views by reducing his army two thirds. Mr. Johnson, when the meeting was abon t breaking up, said that he would not deter mine upon a fixed policy toward Mexico be fore tbe meeting of Congress,when he would discuss in his message whatever might seem best foi the country. It is evident that the President U animated with the same pacific feelings as Mr. Seward and the majority of the cabinet. If it is true that Juarez has evacuated Chi huahua, and is obliged to take refuge in the United States, the resumption of official re lations with Mexico will be considerably fa cilitated.
