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 —4How can you get more than one hundred cents for a. dollar?

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 I remain, sir, yonr obedient servant, John Gam age. Pabis, June 11, 1870. 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- A Novo,MA3miAdnSaKVlct.-AtRaven- na, Ohio, the other day, a man and wo man, before the Mayor, performed the singular marriage ceremony: “Before you, ns witnesses, I agree to take Catherine Stogel, who I hold by the right hand, and who I. intelligently, religiously jmd spiritually love, to be my companion through life, and to her I ac cord equal rights, socially, religiously and politically with myself, W.

I agree to take Walter Pierce; who I now hold by the hand, and who I intelligently, relig iously and spiritually love, to be my com panion through life, and I agree to not usurp over or transcend him in any par ticular. Cathbese Stogel.” “ By this voluntary and premeditated act, in your presence, *we declare our selves religiously, philosophically and scientifically married. “ Walter Pierce, Catherine Pierce.” These papers having been duly filled, his Honor completed the contract thus entered into by pronouncing the parties husband and wife. 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 it Mr. J. C. Jeaffreson, who, in his new “Book About the Clergy, ” give; ns some striking pictures of church niwemblies in olden times. scattered to tbo winds, and the margin of Northern culture, industry and thrift be gins to fringe tho Southern coast. / 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. The Augusta Cotton Factory.—The Augusta, Georgia, Cotton Factory runs 15,000 spindles. Senator Sprague says that is the best maiiaged institution of the kind in the country. The two buildings now used by the factory are each 218 feet long, 48 feet wide, and five stories high.

Ayer’s Sumter Sheriff Sale, Igpiill 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. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
