CONGRESS.
During the past week our law ma
kers have been quite busy, though
but little of importance has been done.
The eevaral committees have been
actively at work and their reports re*
drived, referred, etc., and many bills
have been introduced. This consti
tutes the bulk ot the business as yet
done by congress.
The senate joint resolution for
Counting the electoral vote has been
under consideration, but no action
has been taken on it and, perhaps,
Will not be until January.
On Tuesday Mr. Morrill of the sen* ]
ate offered a resolution instructing
the committee on post-offices and
post-roads to Inquire whether or not
the existing telegraphic lines largely
interfere with the business of the
post*affice department, and whether
the telegraphic service should not be
placed iu the hands of the general
government. Agreed to.
Mr. Saulsbury announced that on
Thursday he would ask the senate to
tike up the resolution declaring Mr.
Kellogg not entitled to a seat in the
ftfoate.
This caused a short debate between
Messrs. Hoar and Saulsbury as to
Whether or not the death of Mr. Spof
ford made the resolution inopera
tive.
An amendment in the nature of a
substitute to the bill for the relief of
Filz John Porter, offered by Mr. Da-
Vis, was agreed to, authorizing the
president to restore Porter to the ar
my, by and with the rank of colonel,
on the the retired list, but without
pay or allowances for the time he has
been out of the service.
On Tuesday Mr. A. W. C. Nowlin,
of Virginia, was appointed and sworn
Iu as postmaster of the house.
Mr. Newton, of New York, intro
duced a bill to incorporate the Mari
time canal company of Nicaraugua,
and it was referred to the committee
on commerce. It names as the incor
porators of the company TJ. S. Grant,
E. D. Morgan, H. J. Jewett, W. It.
Garrison, Howard Patten, Fred Bil
lings, G.W. Higgs, Solon Humphrey,
Frederick Butterfield, J. Thomas De-
France, E. F. Beale and William
Dennison, and provides that the cap
ital stock of said company shall con
sist of not less than 500,000 and more
than 1,000,000 shares of SIOO each.
The house then by a vote of 136 to
DO went into a committee of the
whole on the funding bill,
Mr. Wood said the committee on
rraj o rtuu means had agreed to re
port an amendment fixing the rate
of interest on the refunding bonds
authorized by the bill at 3 per cent.
A number of amendments and sub
stilutes for the proposed bill were of
fered by Messrs. Kelley, Buckner,
Gillett and McMillan, and were or
dered printed.
After considerable debate, in which
Messrs. Warren, Chittenden, and
others took part, the subject went
over for the present.
“BOSS” KELLY.
John Kelly has been overthrown,
Mr. Alhzi Campbell succeeding him
as comptroller of New York city.
Kelly has ruled things with a high
hand in New York for a long time,
but the scale has turned and he has
been forced to walk down and out.
He has been the bone of the New
York democracy for years, and has
done it more harm than any republi
can in the state, and his fall will be
bailed with delight not only by the
democrats of New York, but of the
whole country. By his “rule or ruin”
policy he defeated Robinson for gov
ernor of New Y'ork in 1879, and turn
ed the state over into the hands of
the republicans, and this year defeat
ed Hancock in New York, thereby
defeating him throughout the coun
try and electing Garfield.
Now that the democrats of New
York are rid of Kelly’s leadership
they can reasonably hope for unity
of action and success in the future.
There is one thing, however, to fear
aud that is that he will “rise again.”
He is a shrewd politician, has plenty
of brains and an iron wll, and will
leave nothing untried to again place
himself in power.
PRESIDENT'S MESSAGE.
Wo iotoodcd to make mention of
the president’s message last week,
but it was crowded out. We would
give th message in full but for its
extreme length. Next week a syn
opsis of it will appear in the Ex-
PRICSe.
tt is by ftir the longest, and per
haps the ablest message Mr. Hayes
has ever written. It, however, con
tains but little of ability and patriot
ism calculated to excite praise or ad
miration, oeing mainly a laudation
of liimscli and party. There are, how
ever, many things in it worthy the
attention of our raiders, and we will
2ive them Urn most interesting por
tions aayt ,
HORRIBLE MURDER. * |
Thejnnrder of Mrs* Tho*. Kenne
dy, living aeai Selaaa, Ofcitendon
county, S. C., by Vance and Jnllft
Brandt, colored, on the 11th instant,
was a most brutal aud fiendish deed.
Bobbery is said to have been the mo
tive of the crime. The lady was
alone in the house engaged in writ
| log a letter to her mother when the
murderous attack was made, She
tried to make her escape, but was
j overtaken by the negro Vance Brandt
I who felled her to the ground by R
I blow W’ith a hoe. Mr3. Kennedy im
| plored mercy, and offered to give up
I all the money she had if her life was
j spared. Brandt cursed her and said:
1 “I’se been wanting to kill yon a long
time,” and struck her two more
blows, breaking her hand. At this
point Brandt’s sister Julia came up
with another hoe and almost severed
Mrs. Kennedy’s head by repeated
blows. The murderers were prompt
ly hung, but the colored people de
sired to burn them alive.
THE IRISH AGITATION.
Troubles in Ireland still continue
and are daily growing more serious.
The officers are said to be powerless
to execute the law’. Baron Dawse at
the opening of the Connaught Assi
zes stated that In four months six
hundred and ninety-eight indictable
offenses had been reported in Con
naught, and for these only thirty-nine
persons have been rendered amena
ble. Five hundred and seventy-sev
en persons against whom offenses
had been committed had, through
terror or a desire to shield the offend
ers, refused to give evidence, prose
cute or assist the police. In Mayo
there were eight hundred and eighty
eight lesser and two hundred and
thirty-six indictable offenses. Baron
Dawse said if this state of affairs was
allowed to continue, the consequence
would be immediate danger to Ire
land and ultimate disgrace to the
empire.
PREPARING TO “FLOP.”
The following, from the Free Press
of last week, may not be significant,
of anything, but still it strikes us as
pointing towards the republican
camp.
The Free Press says: “The lines
between the republican and demo
cratic parties are quite dim. In fact,
there is now but little distinction be
tween them as to principles. Take
their national platforms we find but
little issues between the two. The
democracy have conceded nearly ev
ary vital icoucj me republicans have
insisted upon. The only great issue
is that of the “outs” versus the “ins.’
The duty of patriotism is now to sus
tain all good wholesome measures
that look to the best interests of the
country.”
LOWELL'S BANKRUPT BILL.
Nashville American.
The business men of the east, who
feel the necessity of anew bankrupt
law, which shall avoid tho great ex
pensß that attended the one passed in
1867, and Will provide a general and
uniform plan for settling insolvent
estates, seem to have agreed upon the
bill framed by Judge Lowell, of Mas
sachusetts, as meeting the case more
nearly than any other one ; and it is
probable that bill will be presented
at the preset session of congress, and
pressed on its attention. Some of the
changes made in it from the old law
are important. The registers are made
salaried officers and invested with
larger judicial poweis; and they are
to hold their meetings in the various
parts of their districts so as to take
the bankrupt court to the parties, in
stead of bringing the parties long
distances to the court. Tne entire
system of fees U abolished, with the
exception cf the clerk’s, an arrange
ment which, it is claimed, destroys
the inducement to make the delays
that were so vexatious and expensive
under the old law. It Is said that
the costs of any case in bankruptcy
or composition may be nearly deter
mined in advance. Th e bill provides
for composition, guardiug the rights
of creditors by requiring one-third of
the composition to be paid in ad
vance, and the balance to be secured;
and of the deotors by giving them a
discharge as soon as this is done. The
bill makes it a crime for a debtor to
take paymeut for any act of forbear
ance in the course of the proceeding
or more than his share of the compo
sition. The power of creditors to
force a debtor into bankruptcy is sim- j
ilar to that under the old law. Tt j
appoints a salaried supervisor in each
district who is to oversee all settle
ments of estates. It gives to state
couits full jurisdiction of all actions
between parties under the bankrupt
cy Jaw, as distinguished from mere
proceedings in bankruptcy. In the
case of “traders,” the exemption of,
property is put upon the footing of j
the state laws to the extent of ssoo,
and the state laws are left in full op
eration ip defining who aro “traders.” ;
A f&feis&l tmiitor caaaot a
debt Jill, he ha9surrendered lile-prvf*'
erence. The merits claimed for this
biii ms that it will be less expensive
than the old law ; that it will save a
larger share of the estate to the cred
itors; that it will avoid harassing
delays; that it will give the debtor
au earlier discharge; and that it will
prevent frauds that were common
under the old law.
“The New York Sun is still harp'
ing on Mr, Tilden. It says that the
democratic party needs an infusion
of new’ blood to give it freshness and
vigor. That the name of Mr. Tilden
is the only one that has been found
in the last twenty years with sufficient
potency to lead to triumph.
“We have not been much of an ad
vocate of the sage of Gramercy, but
with the lights now before us we
think it unfortunate for the party
that Mr. Tilden was not nominated
instead of Gen. Hancock at Cincin
nati. With him as a leader, we ne j
lieve the democratic party would
have succeeded.”— Golumbus Times.
No doubt of it. We were an “orig
inal” Tilden man, and advised the
Cincinnati convention to nominate
• him, but it wouldn’t take, that is it
wouldn’t nominate him, and, so you
| see, the democrats were defeated by
nottak well, by not nominating
Tilden.
—A disastrous tire occurred in Pen
sacola, Florida, on the night of the
10th instant. Nine-tenths of the
business portion of the city w’as de
stroyed. The loss is estimated at
about half a million dollars. The
1 S3 to the merchants is very heavy,
as they had just received their fall
stocks. The calamity is without pre
cedent in tho history of Pensacola,
and business is almost suspended in
consequence. By far the best portion
of the business buildings in the city
are smouldering ruins. There is not
a ntwspaper office, drug store or sta
tionery store left n the cityt The
Merchants hotel and telegraph offices
were also destroyed.
—The Albany News and Advertiser
claims to be rubbing up a southwest
Georgia horse for the next guberrm

—Madam Thiers, widow of the il
lustrious historian and president of

Bailey’s saline ap-rient.
This article lias grown into rapid favor with
me people —tho maooeo, and very justly too,
because the proprietors were liberal enough
to offer it at one-half the price such articles
had been heretofore selling at. It is placed at
50 cents per bottle so that the poor as well as
the rich could afford to use so potent and
pleasant medicine. It is a charming purga
tive, well adapted to summer use, as it cools
the system, cleanses the stomacbe, opens the
bowels and uulocks the liver, while it is one
the most plcasaut beverages in use. For the
immediate cure ot sick headache, heartburn,
etc., it has no equal.
Don't Beglu to be *ld.
A Frenchman said he hated a girl who tried
to be a woman and a woman who tried to be a
girl. Our children, especially the girls, are
forced too much for an early market. We
long to be old when we a e young, and youug
when we arc old. Our girls are a little too
fast in stepping on the platform of woman
hood. This coertion entails a suspension or
retension of natural secretions, which if not
attended to promptly, is attended with head
ache, loss of appetite, coustipatlon, pains in
the side and back, palpitation of the heart,
swimming of the head, cold feet and hands,
they loose the bloom of the cheek and the
lustre of the eye, become dejected, feeble and
emaciated. If in this condition you can be
restored at once by the use of English Fe
male Bitters, the only known female restorer
before the public.
