ATJDSaWIO THE OOTHTEY.
The Democratic Senators and Representa
tives in Congress held a meeting in Washing
ton, Friday night, and agreed upon tho follow-
ing address to the friends of constitution gov-
ernment throughout the United States:
To oca mxov-anrnxs or nrt United
States, FaiKOis or ooxstItctiov.vx, eooxojc-
If AX. ASD HONEST GOVERNMENT :
The undersigned bog leave, to call year atten
tion to the peculiar importance of the.election*
which take place, this year, and respectfully to
submit some suggestions to yonr consideration.
By tbo State Legislatures to be elec-tod nearly
one-third of the United States’Senate will be
chosen. Nearly all the members of the next
House of Representatives are to be elected next
fall. Upon the coming elections, then' depends
the question whether the Democratic and con
servative element in the Senate shall be increas
ed and whether the element shall have & ma
jority in tbo House of Reprcsenatives; and, as a
consequence, whether wc shall bavo constitu
tional; economical and honest government, or
a continuance of revolutionary, extravagant and
wasteful pariaian rule; whether wo shall have
general, uniform, just and constitutional legisla
tion, with reasonable taxation and frugal ex
penditure or unconstitutional, partial, unjust,
class legislation, with oppressive and unequal
taxation and wonderful expenditure.
That we have strong reason to hope for a fa
vorable result is plainly apparen t. The elections
already held clearly show that the tide of re
form has set in with a power that cannot be re
sisted if no blunder bo committed by the friends
of reform. If they do their duty and act wisely,
if thoy tlirow off all apathy and act with vigor
and steadfastness there is every reason to hope
that their efforts will bo rewarded by success.
Let there be no dissensions about minor matters,
time lost in the discuaaion ot dead issues, no
manifestation of narrow or proscriptive feeling,
no sacrifice of the cause to gratify personal am
bition or resentment, and let the best men be
chosen for candidates, and we may hope to see
country redeemed from misrule. Amlin
this connection, we beg leave to say a word to
fellow-citizens ot the Southern States. Do
risk the loss of Senators or Representatives
by electing men who cannot take the test oath,
jo are under the disability imposed by tlte
Fourteenth Amendment.
Whatever may be eaiil as to tho validity of
that amendment or of tho test-oath act, you
way rest assured that Senators elected by the
vote of members of Legislatures who are held
by the Radicals to be thus disqualified will not
be permitted to take their seats, aud tho mem
bers of the House or Representatives thus dis
qualified will also be excluded. It is the plainest
dictate of practical wisdom not to incur any
such risks. We hope soon to see the day when
all disabilities will bo removed; but, in the
meantime, do not, we entreat you, lose the op
portunity to strengthen the Democratic aud
Conservative force in Congress, and tho possi
bility, now probability of obtaining a majority in
the next House of Representatives, by putting
in the power of our adversaries to overthrow
r disregard your elections.

The Emasculated Georgia Bill
[From tho Baltimore Gazette.]
With an unexpected expedition the
House has once more disposed of the
Georgia question. The bill which passed
on Friday is as near nothing as so skill
ful a legislator as Mr. Dawse could devise.
It is neither fish, flesh, fowl nor good red
herring. It is composed of glittering
generalities meaning nothing. It had,
as originally presented, ene salient fea
ture. It called for an election in 1870,in
accordance with the State Constitution.
The words “in 1870” were stricken out,
on motion of Mr. Dickey, of Pennsylva
nia, whose legislative efforts had pre
viously been confined to roaring out in
stentorian voice,strangely in contrast with
hia diminutive person, *1 object!’ When
the House adopted the Dickey amend
ment it extinguished the one vital spark
in the bill. As it now stands, it simply
declares that there shall be an election in
accordance with the State Constitution
But the Constitution is to be interpreted
by courts and a Legislature, over which
the unscrupulous Bullock lias supreme
control. Besides they have ample pre
cedents for violating the State Constitu
tion. Is not tixe Federal Constitution
violated by Congress almost doily?
Those who voted for this amendment
with tho belief that they* were not per
petuating a corrupt Legislature and ex
tending the term of a corrupt and un
principled man as Governor of Georgia,
simply erred in judgment, or were wilful
ly misled by the paid advocates of the
Bollock ring:. But will the Senate ac
cept the House bill? Certain Senators
have said that it would not. The result
of this will probably be, as has been pre
dicted for some time past; that there will
be no joint action by Congress on the
Georgia question this session. Tho an
omaly will thus be presented of a State
still without tbo pole of the Union; and
unrepresented in Congress, having a re
presentative in the Cabinet in the person
of the law officer of the Government

Butler’s so-called; .Amnesty Bill j
OPINIONS or TUP. NOKTHrr.NvX'KESn.
[From the N. Y. World (Dem.) 1
General Butler’s bill* providing for a
general amnesty, is mainly remarkable
though not altogether fortunate in its au
thor. * * * It shows that in the opin
ion of a shrewd olwerver, the people-
even the people of the. sixth district of
Massachusetts—have grown tired of the
continual diatribes of Drake and Chand
ler, and that, having achieved nil that the
more sanguine of them expected or the
more truculent of them .proposed to
achieve by the war, they feel that it is not
only , a political crime, bnt a political
blunder, to keep np by proscriptive laws
and denunciatory language an irritation
which will last long enough even with the
healing efforts of moderate and concilia
tory coanselr.
[From the N. Y. Herald (Independent.) |
It is called a general amnesty bill, and
opens with a good deal of imposing and
gracious phraseology• It is very Butler-
like in this respect. The words are “full
ami general grace, amnesty and oblivion
of certain wrongful acts” in the rebellion,
“ w itli full restoration of rights,” and so
forth. This reads like a noble and benev
olent lot so far. But there is a sting be
hind. There are numerous exceptions
provided for, and these embrace most of
the men ot superior intelligence in the
South. * * * *
This bill will will relieve no doubt, a
great number of Southerners from the
disabilities they now suffer, and ao far it
is a good measure. It is a long step in
the right direction. But why not make a
clean thing of amnesty and reconstruc
tion ?
A general amnesty in fact as well as in
ntune would be magnanimous, and the
best policy for the government to pursue.
No party political ends can be served by
continuing these disabilities. The mass
of the Northern people desire to seo an
end of them and the complete restora
tion of the South.
[From the N. Y. Times (Rep.)
We have no doubt that many persons
trill regard Mr. Butler’s bill as scarcely
liberal enough in its character. Bnt so
far as it goes it is calculated to do good,
and to complete the work of pacification
which has gradually been going on for a
long time past. All tho world has re
cognized the fact that the government
has dealt leniently toward those who had
endeavored to subvert it There is prob
ably no power in Europe which would
not have token vengeance on the princi
pal conspirators in such an insurrection.
\Ve adopted a wiser course, and tliero has
been no reason to repent of a single step
have taken. Mr. Butler’s bill comes
rather late in the day, but that is an ad
ditional reason why it should lie passed
during the present session. We trust it
will not be detained on its passage by
endless discussions.
[From tho N. Y. Tribune, (Rad.)
The General Amnesty bill introduced
by tho House Reconstruction Committee
yesterday has the demirit of not being a
measure of general amnesty. The ex
cepting classes are too many and the ex
cepted clauses too large. The country is
large enough to be strong without stint
The odium under which the rebel lenders
exist, and from which they can never free
themselves, will not be increased by con
tinuing what is to them only persecution,
and which is practically no protection to
the nation.
From the Philadelphia Inq. (Rad.)
We are opposed to any half-way meas
ures touching upon pardoning the par
ticipants in the late rebellion. And we
are, therefore, compelled to express our
disapprobation of General Butler’s bill,
which shows, by exempting from tho
privileges of citizenship so many of the
late Confederates, that its author is still
blind to the fact that the war has been
over several yaars, and that what the
South now wants is free and perfect fel
lowship with the North.
No More Ice—Use Ice Water.
To the Editor of the Pall Mall Gazette :
Sib : I notice in your columns ot yester
day a proposal to cheapen ice as a cure
for drunnkeness. I shall not enter on the
probable results in a sanitary point of
view, but desire to point out that the great
desideratum is not ice but water cooled to
40 deg. or 45 deg. Fahrenheit To cool
London water to th: i temperature is a
simple aud comparatively inexpensive
process. It is the production and stor
ing of ice that with ns is attended with
n it difficulties. During the past year
ad occasion to study this question
practically, with a view to insuring at
any season and in any country that meats,
to be preserved fresh, might bo cooled to
lit them for the absorption of antisoptic
gases. My experiments have been main
ly made with an ether machine construct
ed by Mes. rs. Liebe Brothers, which in
itself has worked admirably, bnt until
lately tho best means of utilizing and
saying tho cold produced by such a ma
chine were involved in some mystery.
There are two successful instances of
reaping the fnllest benefits to bo derived
by the use of other machines. The ono
now widely known is that of Messrs.
Thurman Hanbury & Co’s brewery,
where, instead of attempting to freeze,
the cheaper plan of abstracting 15 de
grees or 20 degrees of heat from London
water is resorted to, and the second is
that of tho Paris glacieres. I liavo re
cently watched the skill with which the
economizing of cold produced is provided
for by the intelligent superintendent of
this establishment and with the same
machines; end working 12 instead of 24
hours daily, he now produces 6,000 bot
tles of iced water against 1,5000 produced
two or three years since. Cold, there
fore, can be had wuu certainty at a cheap
rate, and the greater the improvements
in steam boilers tho cheaper will that
cold be. iLis ono of the necessaries of
the day, and the deficiency will be sup
plied in most countries by the artificial
production of the amount of cold requir
ed in liquids or air, rather than by the
expensive carriage, storage and handling
of on wieldly and perishable mountains ol

Bililding up the South.
An excellent symptom, in the new
movement of population and industry,
now so rapidly tending Southward, says
the New York Commercial Journal, is
that bodies of settlers, of both native and
foreign birth, are starting out with the
co-operativo principal, combining their
experience in various practical pursuits
with moderato capital offered to them by
responsible parties. We have heard of
several enterprises of this land, within
two or three weeks, and are inclined to
augur well for their success.
This is the true way to go to work, and
we are happy to know that these spots of
light ore swiftly breaking out over the
surface of those portions of the South
which have hitherto been reposing in the
silence and darkness of. the primitive
Wilderness. These are “ armies of peaco”
which ore destined to achieve the-truly
grand triumphs of our time, and we take
all the more pride in their steady and vic
torious march that, from first to last, in
spite of all discouragcmcnt^-the forebod
ings of the timid and tho sneers of the
skeptical—we havs urged and favored
this emigration of,the sturdy -European
stock to the Canaan of the South. Al-

Fashion in Church—A New View or
the Subject. —Appleton’s Journal thinks
the wearing of fine dresses by church
going ladies is not so reprehensible a
practice after all. It says :
- Man and woman in pure linen, in un
stained apparel, in choice personal adorn
ment, have a sense of dignity and eleva
tion which those in slovenly garb do not
experience. And it is no particular siu
if tliis love of elevation is carried a little
too far. Pride, of course, often enters
into fine dressing, and many women par
ticularly are fond of flaunting thtir fine
feathers in people’s eyes ; but a majority
love handsome dressing in obedience to
an instinct of refinement—in consequence
of that sense of personal purity which ac
companies the wearing of choice apparel
—and hence we see perfect congruity in
the well dressed crowds that pour through
our streets on Sundays, wending their
way to the place of prayer. And our
most fashionable congregations, if exhib
iting a little too much ultra elegance, even
if showing unmistakably the presence of
pride and vain glory in too large a pro
portion for the spiritual welfare of the
worshippers, have yet an air of sobriety,
are reverential in manner, at least—condi
tions that seem to have been somewhat
different in former times, if we can cred

“Book About the Clergy, ” give; ns some
striking pictures of church niwemblies in
olden times.

Wealth.
Onegreateiui.se of the poverty of the
present day is, the failure of the people
to appreciate small things—they see that
if they cannot save large sums, they will
not save anything. They do not realize
how a daily addition, be it ever so small,
will soon make a large pile ; i£ the young
and young women of to-day will on
ly begin, "and begin now, to save a little
from their earnings, and plant in the soil
of some good savings-bank, aud weekly
or monthly add their mite, they will wear
a happy smile of competence and inde
pendence when they reach middle life.—
Not only the pile itself will increase, bnt
the desire and the ability to increase it
will also grow. Let the clerk aud trades
man, laborer and artiznn, make now and
once a beginning. Store up some of
your youthful force and vigor for futnre
contingencies. Let parents teach their
children to begin early to save. Begin
at the fountain head to control the stream
of extravagance, and then tho work will
bo easy. To choose between spending
and saving is to choose between poverty
and riches. Let our youth go in tun liali-
its of extravagance for fifty years to come
as thoy have for fifty years past, and we
shall be a nation of beggars with a mon
ied aristocracy. Let a generation of such
as save in small sums be reared aud we
shall be free from want. Do not be am
bitious for extravagant fortunes, but seek
that which it is the doty of every man to
obtain—independence and a comfortable
home. Wealth and enough is within the
reach of all It is obtainable by one pro
cess, and by ono only—saving.—Builder.
A Well Drawn Picture of Ben.
Butler.
Tho Richmond Whiff presents its read
ers with the following well drawn picture
oi Ben. Butler:
Ben Butler is certainly a character, aud
by no means a character to be admired.—
{■Scarcely a week passes without exhibiting
him in some new and unpleasant light.—
Ho appears to be always in motion, and
his activity is exercised in a most unscru
pulous manner. He is a man of talents,
of information and of labor. But ho is
utterly destitute of moral sense, and dis
dains "the moral sense that got eras the
mass of mankind. He tramples reckless
ly upon all the conventionalisms of socie
ty. If he had one spark of sensibility be
would cease to be dangerous, for he
might then be shamed into a semblage
of virture. Bat no exposure brings the
blush to his callous face. He defends, his
misdeeds with an audacity that carries
him through successfully, andjknows so
thoroughly “the ins and tho outs” of all
his political associates os to be enabled to
meet every charge against himseli with
one as damaging against every assail
ant.
He is so quick witted and has such fer
tility of invention that he is always ready
with a reason, an explanation and a justi
fication, no matter what is alleged against
him. His policy is to face down his ene
mies and assailants, and to defy tho pub
lic. Nothing cows him. He knows that
he would be run over and crushed if he
gavo back on inch, or showed any sense
of shame. He therefore puts on a brave
face, cocks his eye fiercely and makes
battle with an effrontery that has enabled
him to survive a thousand disgraces. His
last performance is related elsewhere.—
Damaging as it would bo to any other
man, it will pass off without at all
affecting his standing and influence
in Congress, The fact is that Butler is
one of these singular creatures that some
times turn up in tho world and play t
considerable psrt—distrusted by every
body, and yet employed, listened to and
followed. He “lives by the badness of
!:is character” and has no idea of giving
up this means of subsistence.

For restoring Gray Hair to
its natural Vltolity and Color.
A dressing which
is at once agreeable,
healthy, and effectual
for preserving the
hair. Faded or gray
hair it toon restored
to its original color,
with the gloss and
freshness of youth.
Thin hair is thick
ened, falling hair checked, and bald
ness often, though not always, cured
by its use. Nothing can restore tho
hair where fce follicles are destroyed,
or the glands atrophied and decayed.
But such as remain can be saved for
usefulness by this application. Instead
of fouling tho hair with a pasty sedi
ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous.
Its occasional use will prevent tho hair
from turning gray or falling off, and
consequently prevent baldness. Free
from those deleterious substances which
make some preparations dangerous, and
injurious to the hair, the Vigor can
only benefit but not ham it. If wanted
merely for a
HAIR DRESSING,
nothing else can be found so desirable.
Containing neither oil nor dye, it does
not soil white cambric, and yet lasts
long on the hair, giving it a rich, glossy
lustre and a grateful perfume.
