THE LOUISIANA NOMINATIONS AND CURIOUS
COMPLICATIONS.
Washington| October 16.—It is assert
ed that the Democratic Senators will be
guarded in their action upon the Presi
dent's nominations for Louisiana offices,
by the advice of Senators Spofford and
Eustis. It is ascertained that these gen
tlemen have not yet made known their
views. It is known that the President’s
nominations ounnot be continued without
Democratic votes, >and in this view of the
case, it is expeoted the President’s Repub
lican friends will favor the admission of
Spofford and Eustis. The situation is
curiously complicated. It seems certain
that King must make himself acceptable
to Spofford and Eustis to reiain his place. I

CONGRESS FAILED TO MAKE ARM! APPRO*
PBIATION.
Washington, October 16.—Fellow Cit-
izcns of the Senate and House of Repre
sentatives : The adjournment ot the last
Congress, without making appropriations
for the support of the army for the pres
ent fiscal year, has rendered necessary the
suspension of payments to the officers
and men of the sums due them for ser
vices rendered after the 30th day of Jaua-
uary last.
ARMY EXISTS BY 8TATUTE8.
The army existB by virtue of statutes
which prescribe its numbers, regulate its
organization, and- the employment of
which, fix the pay of its officers and men
and declare their right to receive the
same at stated periods.
CONGRESS MUST MAKE APPROPRIATION FOR
Washington, October 16. — After a
struggle for precedence the case of Rai
ney, of South Carolina, was taken up,
wheu Mr. Cox sent to the Chair to be
read papers from Gov. Hampton. The
committee appointed by the Republican
oauous yesterday to oontest the roll of
Clerk Adams are on the qui vive, and pro
ceedings in each case will be long.
ADVOCATES OF DARRELL AND RAINEY.
Ben Butler is selected to manage the
case of Darrell, of Louisiana. Darrell has
certificates from Kellogg and Nioholls
and is on the clerk’s roll, and has re
ceived pay to date. Butler thinks he has
a good case. Hale has charge of Rainey’s
case, and is making a set speech.
RAINEY, CAIN AND DARRELL (NEGROES)
SWORN IN.
The question as to swearing in the two
South Carolina members, Rainey and
Cain, oooupied the attention of the House
nearly three hours. Cox of New York,
Bright of Tennessee, and other Demo
crats arguing that the question should be
referred to the Committee on Elections,
as in the Kentucky cases some years ago *,
and Mills of Texas, Potter of New . York,
with Banks and Butler of Massachusetts,
and Hale of Maine arguing, that iuas'
much as Rainey and Cain presented a
prima facie case, they were entitled to be
sworn in, and then to have the question
of validity of their rights referred to a
committee.
The House took the latter view by 181
to 88, and Ruiney and Cain were accord
ingly sworn in.
Objection was withdrawn in the oase of
Darrell of Louisiana, and he was sworn
in.
The oase of Elam of Louisiana was dis
cussed, but no result reached. The
PRESIDENTS MESSAGE
was read and referred to the Committee
of the Whole.
SENATE.
During the morning hour a largo num
ber of bills aud petitions were presented
and referred to appropriate committees.
Among the petitions were many from
various parts of the country in favor of
increasing the compensation of letter
carriers.
Among the bills introduced was one by
Mr. Beck, of Kentucky, for the
REMOVAL OF ALL DISABILITIES
imposed by the 14th amendment to the
Constitution of the United States. Re
ferred to the Committee on the Judiciary.
RECESS.
The Senate, at 12:35, on motion of Mr.
ITS PAY.
These statutes, however, do not author
ize the payment of troops in the absence
of specific appropriations; therefore, the
Constitution has wisely provided that no
money shull be drawn from the Treasury
but m consequence of appropriations
made by law’, and it has also been deolared
by statute that no department of the
Government shall expend in any one fis*
cal year a sum in excess of the appropria*
tions made by Congress for that fiscal
year.
NO FUNDS AVAILABLE.
We have, therefore, an army in service,
authorized by law and entitled to be paid,
but no funds are available for that pur
pose.
FAITHFUL DISCHARGE OF DUTY.
It may also be said, as an additional in
centive to prompt aotion by Congress,
that since the commencement of the fiscal
year the army, though without pay, has
been oonstantly and actively employed in
arduous and dangerous service, in the
performance of which both officers and
men have discharged their duty with
fidelity and courage, and without com
plaint.
NECESSITY OF PROMPT AOTION.
These circumstances, in my judgment,
constitute an extraordinary oooasion, re
quiring that Congress be convened in ad
vance of the time prescribed by law for
your meeting in regular session.
APPROPRIATION SHOULD BE MADE FOR 25,*
000 MEN.
The importance of speedy action upon
this subject on the part of Congress is so
manifest that I venture to suggest the
propriety of making the ueoessary
appropriations for the support of the
army for the current year, at its
present maximum numerical strength
of 25,000 men, leaving for future consid
eration all questions relating to increase
or decrease of the number enlisted. In
the event of a reduction of the army by
subsequent legislation during the fiscal
year, the excess of the appropriation could
not be expended, and in the event of its
enlargement, an additional Bum, required
for the extra force, could be provided in
due time. It would be unjust to the
troops now in service, and whose pay is
already largely in arrears, if the payment
to them should be futher postponed until
after Congress shall have considered all
questions likely to arise in the effort to fix
the proper limit to the strength of the
army.
AMOUNT REQUIRED FOR ARMY.
Estimates of appropriations for the
support of the military establishment for
the fiscal year, June 30th, 1878, were
transmitted to Congress by the former
Secretary of the Treasury at the opening
of its session in December last. These
estimates, modified by the present Secre
tary so as to conform to the present re*
quirements, are now renewed, amounting
to $32,436,764 98, and having been trans
mitted to both houses of Congress, are
submitted for your consideration.
WANTS OF THE NAVY.
There is also required by the Navy De
partment $2,003,861 27. This sum is
made up of $1,446,688 16 due to officers
and enlisted men for the last quarter of
the last fiscal year; $311,953 50 due for
advances made by the fiscal agent of the
Government in London for the support
of the foreign service; $50,000 due to the
naval and hospital fund; $150,000 due
for arrearages of pay to officers, and
$45,219 58 for the support of the marine
corps.
NEEDS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE.
There will also be needed an appropria
tion of $262,535 22 to defray the unset
tied expenses of the United States Courts
for the fiscal year ending June 30th last,
now due to attorneys, clerks, commission
ers and marshals, for the rent of court
rooms, support of prisoners and other
deficiencies.
BURNED PATENT OFFICE BUILDING.
Part of the building of the Interior
Department was destroyed by tire on the
24th of last month. Some immediate
repairs and temporary structures have,
in consequence, become necessary, and
the estimates for which will be trans
Knitted to Congress immediately, and an
appropriation of the requisite funds is re
spectfully oowmended.
OTHER APPROPRIATIONS.
The Secretary of the Treasury will com
municate to Congress, in connection with
the estimates for appropriations for the
support of the army for the current fiscal
year, and estimates for snoh other defi
ciencies in different brandies of the pub*
! lie service as require immediate action,
and cannot, without inconvenience, be
postponed until the regular session.
APPROPRIATION FOR REPRESENTATION AT
PARIS EXPOSITION.
I take this opportunity, also, to invite
your attention to the propriety of adopt*
ing at yonr present session the neoeesary
legislation to enable the people of the
United States to participate in the ad*
vantages of the International Exhibition
of Agriculture, Industry and Fine Arts,
which is to be held in Paris in 1878, and
in which this Government has been in
vited by the Government of France
to take part. This invitation was
communicated to this Government in
May, 1876, by the minister of France at
this capital, and a oopy thereof submitted
to the proper committees of Congress at
its luBt session, but ao aotion was taken
upon the subjeot. The Department of
State has received many letters from va
rious parts of the country, expressing a
desire to participate in the exhibition,
and numerous applications of a similar
nature have also been made at the United
States Legation at Paris. The Depart
ment of Stute has also, received official
advice of a strong desire on the part of
the French Government that the United
Stales should participate in this euter*
prise, and space has-thitherto bean, and
still iB reserved in the* exhibition build
ings for the use of exhibitors from the
Uuited Stales to the exclusion of other
parties who have been appli
cants. Therefore, in order that
our industries may be properly
represented at the exhibition appropria
tion will be needed for the payment of
salaries aud expenses of Commissioners,
for transportation of goods and for other
purpoNeH in connection with the objeot in
view; and as May next is the time fixed for
opening the exhibition, if our citizens
are to share the advantages of this Inter
national competition for the trade of
other nations, the necessity of
immediate action is apparent. To
enable us to co-operate in the
International Exhibition, which was
held in Vienna in 1873, Congress then
passed a joint resolution making an ap
propriation of $200,000 and authorizing
the President to appoint a certain num
ber of practical artiizans and scientific
men, who should attend the exhi
bition and report their proceedings
and observations to him. Provision was
also made for the appointment of a num
ber of honorary commissioners. I have
felt that prompt aotion by Congress in
accepting the invitation of the Govern*
rnent of France is of so much interest to
the people of this country, and so suita>
ble to the cordial relations between the
governments of the two conntries that the
snbjeot might properly be presented for
attention at your present session.
INTERNATIONAL PRISON CONVENTION
STOCKHOLM.
The Government of Sweden and Nor
way has addressed an official invitation to
this Government to take part in the In
ternational Prison Congress, to be held at
Stockholm, next year. The problem
whioh the congress proposes to study—
how to diminish crime—is one in which
all civilized nations have interest in com
moo, and the Congress of Stockholm seems
likely to prove the most important con'
vention ever held for the study of
this grave question. Under the authority of
the joint resolution of Congress,approved
Febinary 16th, 1875, a Commissioner was
appoioted by my predecessor to represent
the United States upon that oooasion and
the Prison Congress having been at the
earnest desire of the Swedish government
postponed to 1878, his commission was
renewed by me. An appropriation of
$8,000 was made in the sundry civil ser
vice act of 1875 to meet the expenses of
the Commissioner. I recommend the re
appropriation of that sum for the same,
purpose, the former sum having been ear
ned into the treasury and being no
longer available for the par
pose without further action by Congress,
The subjeot is brought to your attention
at this time, in view of the circumstances
which render it highlv desirable that the
Commissioner should proceed to the dis
charge of his important duties immedi
ately.
OTHER SUBJECTS POSTPONED TO BEGULAB
SESSION.
As the several acts of CoDgress pro
viding for detailed reports from the dif
ferent departments of the Government
require them submitted at the beginning
of the regular annual session, I defer
until that time any further reference to
subjects of public interest.

Boston, October 16.—A message was

forming the House of Deputies that tbe
former body bad adopted a cauon for the
organization of a Sisterhood of Deacou-
esnes of the Church, substantially on the
principles recommended by the Lower
House.
An exceedingly animated sceue was
created by Mr. Liuennoore, of Michigan,
who introduced the following resolution :
Resolved, That the union of the Church
and State is prejudicial to the bust inter«

Upon its being read by the secretary a

affording any opportunity for discussion.
EFFICIENCY OF CHRISTIAN WORK.
Special to Enquirer-Sun.J
Boston, October 16.—With a view of
aking a more extended aud better di
rected effort in the work, tbe committee
recommended a freer use of Brotherhoods
and Sisterhoods iu the work of the
church, said organization to be subject to
the Bishop. The reports considered that
Sunday Schools did not accomplish all
the work that came within their proviuoe,
and recommended an agency of litanies,
leotures, and other literary inlluoncex
for the education of the moral and social
wellfare of the masses, iu whoso intelli
gence and spiritual enlightenment tbo pro
tection of society depends. The report
alluded to the receut disorders iu this
oouutry whioh were sufficient to remind
the people that without inculcating the
principles above referred to iu edu
cating the masses properly, religion
would be at tbe mercy of
Communist bodies, whom it would be
difficult to oppose Uy physical forco or
law. The committee criticised the gen
eral deseoration of the Sabbath by capi
talists aud those employing labor. Tbe
report embodied resolutions to the effect
that the olergy be instructed to inculcate
and act on the suggestion offered in tb
report, and that they would be carried oi
tiiore successfully; that the parochial
olergy should be asked to aid in tbe work;
that tbe bishops should take steps for the
appointment of oatechisists aud teachers
to engage iu the work, and that the
Church bo thrown open to the people
generally at such times as they are not
being used for the usual services of the
congregation. The resolutions were
adopted.
fiower girls and the distinguished gentle
men who were selling satin programmes
in the lobby forced their way in for the
great event,and when the curtain went up
there was an audible Rtirof expectation in
the lmuHG. It was the third aot, and
Michael Cassia strode elegantly on in the
person of Mr. H. Crisp. Never before
bad society seen Mr. Crisp’s legs.
Hitherto they had been sequestered, so
to speak, in genteel comedy. Now
they wont once across the stage in all
their pristine beauty and out at the first
entrance, right, before the people iu the
front seatH had reoovered from the dazzle.
Then came on Desdcmona in full evening
dress, wearing a train three yards long.
It w*R Lotta, and she was followed * y the
Amelia of Mrs. Drew and I ago. No
sooner had Mr. Florence reached the mid
dle of the stage than he waa greeted with
a loud and hearty laugh from the house.
Lotta seemed to think it was fun and
pricked up her oars. Another laugh fol
lowed. She gave her train a kick, toss- d
head, and appeared to like it. Iago
frowned reprovingly. The audience gave
another laugh. To ninko matters worae,
Othello, who now came on, was met with
tho same hilarity and it was instantly ap-
rent th«it the people expeoted a bur
lesque. Fo a moment the situation wa- a
peculiar one. Both Mr Hothern and Mr.
Florence are experts at burlesquing, and
might then and there have turned the aot
into a roaring farce, and split not only
the ears, but tho throats of the ground
lings. But they staunchly refused to do it.
They had made up their minds to be seri
oils for once iu their lives. Not so Lotta;
that engenious and sportive child • f
Nature was accustomed to do whatever
an audience wantod done. Ho she spoke
her lines trippingly indeed, made faces,
and got two or three guffawH by kicking
out her bu lesque train. The oonsequeuoe
was a singularly half and half perform
ance, not. wholly fish and hardly flesh or
fowl. Wheu Iago came to the lines :
I do not like the ottioo,
Hut, alth I am entered In tins ckupo po tar,
Prick’d to’t by foolish honesty and love,
I will go on,
there was a sound of approbation, as if
Mr. Florence’s attempts to look foolishly
bonest had made a bit. Too much com
mendation cannot ho given to these excel
lent actors for their well-meant attempt
to play tragedy solemnly, aud charity for
Loita will remain in the hearts of all who
saw that her stook of burlesque consisted
of a kiok. At tbe close of the aot Mr.
Hothern was recalled, and announced that
tho benoiit would realize nearly ten
thousand dollars—a very handsome sum
most handsomely gathered.—New York

AN OPEN LETTER
TO THE PUBLIC.
New York, October 1st, 1877.
I have devoted twenty years of patient
stndy to the Liver and its relations to the
human body, in search of a remedy which
would restore it, when diseased, to its
normal oondition. Tbe result of that la*
bor has been the production of
TUTT’S LIVER PILLN.
Their popularity has become so extended
and the demand so great as to induce un
scrupulous parties to counterfeit them,
thereby robbing me of tbe reward, and
the afflicted of tbeir virtues.
TO CAUTION THE PUBLIC,
and proteot them from vile impositions, I
have adopted a new label, wbi h bears
my trnde-mark and notioe of itn entry in
tho Office of the Librarian of Congress,
also my signature, thus :
•fiT To Counterfeit this is foroeby \
Before purohasiug, examine the label
closely.
THE GENUINE TUTT'S PILLS
exert a peculiar influence on the system.
Their aotion is prompt, and their good
effects are felt in a few hoars. A quar
ter of a century of study of the Liver has
demonstrated that it exerts a greater in
fluence over the system than any other or
gan of tbe body, and wheu diseased the
entire organism is deranged. It is speci
ally for the healing of this vital organ
that I have spent so many yeais of toil,
and having found the remedy, whioh has
proved the greatest boon ever furnished
the afflicted, Bhall they be deprived of its
benefits, and a vile imitation imposed np-
on them ?
Let the honest people of Amebioa see
\ IT THAT THEY ABE NOT DEFRAUDED:
Horutinize the label olosoly, see that it
bears all tbe marks above mentioned, and
buy the medicine only from respeotable
dealers. It can be found everywhere.
Very respectfully,

Her golden trosHes of luxuriant hair,
Entwined a form so beautiful aud fair,
That all who gazed by day or night,
Were charmed with tho new uugolio sight.
Her hair in graceful ringlets draped tbu

And the man who saw her was only to
adore;
The ladies from afar desired to know.

She unveiled her face and smilingly said:
“Smith's Hair ltosturalivo beautified my
head;
It contains no poison and it is no dye.
And once a week yuu need only apply.
