I abeyance by Congress and General Terrv, A message was here received from the i and that ho had »no idea that auy of those r *-• * u “* #wK~a- powers would object to the action of this Tim Hun Honse stating that that body had concur red in the Senate resolution continuing the appropriation act until otherwise ordered by the General Assembly. The nameo of the standing committees, in part ;of the Senate was here read. Mr. Hungerford opposed the adoption of the resolution, stating as his belief, that some of the Senators “must have money on the brain,” thought that the bonds could not be issued to be deposited. Mr. Harris—they are already issued. Mr. Hungerford—Then why not sell them ? Why do yon want to take up the School Fond ? If this thing is done it will meet the merited displeasure of all the people, both black and white. Mr. Nunnally thought the idea of de positing bonds in lien of the fund, was the wisest course to be adopted, thought it good financiering to tako this money of the legal debts of tlio State, rather than force a sale of the bonds at discount, However, thought the resolution should have originated in the Honse, and would not vote for it unless said measure should bo Mated in the Honse. Mr. Wooten desired to introduce on amendment to tho resolution, as follows ; That the Treasurer shall not pay out of the school fond anything, except for the civil list; and that he keeps a strict ac count of the amounts, ana replace them as soon as needed for school purposes. Mr. Wooten proceeded to state that this measure should be so restricted os not to lx>rrow this money for general purpose, bnt confine it to the payment of the civil list, and pledge the securi ty of tho State to its prompt return as soon as an educational system conld be perfected; thought, that it might be bet ter for tho resolution with the amend ment. Mr. Dunning conld not support tho resolution as amended; thought it not presented in tho right form; while not objecting to tho result sought, thonght even tho reports pending before the Sen ate has liccn read and received; much light would have liecn thrown on the sub ject, and moved tliat the matter be re ferred to tho Financo Committee, to be reported by bill or otherwise. Mr. Candler objected to anticipating the action of tho committee; desired to have tho latter jiortion of the motion stricken out. Mr. rimitb, of the 7th, opposed refer ring to a committee. On tho voto being taken, tho resolu tion and amendment was referred to the Finance Committee. Mr. Smith, of the 7th, moved tliat tlie Assembly from now on meet nt 10, A. M., and adjourn at 1, P, M. Mr. Smith, then moved a suspension of the rules in order to take up bills. Lost. Mr. Speer moved to adjourn.

Tho Clerk read the Journal of yester day's proceedings. Mr. Hall, of Merriwether, moved for a reconsideration of yesterday’s action in the indefinite postponement of his reso lution to use the educational funds for other purposes. Mr. Hall in support of his motion, said, that his object was to safe money for tho State; and that the money was loaned ont on three per cent, and that it could not be borrowed from other sources at a less rate than ten per cent. Mr. Turner, colored, asked if an amendment repaying tho amount to the school fund would be accepted; if so, he would vote in favor of the resolution. Mr. Bethune stated that he favored the resolution and would offer an amend ment in tlie event of a reconsideration, which would meet tho objection urged. He stated that tho Treasurer had testi fied before the committee that there was no money in the Treasury, Ac. Mr. Shumate advocated the reconsid eration of the resolution. Ho stated that there was properly no school fund now, although there is abont two hundred and twenty thousand dollars doe by the State to the Educational Fund. He stated that thoro are about ono hundred! and fifty thousand dollars deposited in the Atlanta National Bank at 3 per cent, and twenty thousand dollars in the Georgia A Banking Company, thattheroia no im propriety in applying this money to other purposes. Our Judges, Ac., must he pnul, nnd no ono will doubt but tliat ilus Legislature will raise money for cur- rent expenses, lienee where is the wisdom of lending at fi per conk and borrowing at 10 percent M r.

The bly seems alive to the importance of cation; that he was in favor of reconsid ering the action of wcitnrtfty tar%«dT this resolution; that tho Stato is tho prop er custodian of the money, and tliat she could use it and be responsible therefore.

Mr. Anderson opposed the resolution because the House is well acquainted with Jefferson’s manual is sufficient for all practical purpose.

Another motion was made by the same member, adding a clause to the lflth Rale allowing a motion to reconsider to bo mode immediately.

From the Louisville Commercial. Last week there occurred in Bullit Co., a strange affair, which is os yet unsolved in its particulars, but which was one of those very peculiar transactions which seem to liavo no motive. A widow lady, with a daughter some eighteen years of age, Hved near Mt. Washington. They were without male protectors, and lived quietly and securely. Ono day the old lady received fivo thousand dollars . in payment of an old,account, and locked it up in her trunk.

Tho mom of woman aro beginning to understand that life wo# not given to na wholy for selfish purposes, bat for tho performance of certain datit-*, and that these perpetual changes in dreas are not only trivial and silly, but criminal, because they absorb tirao, means and energy, which are required in other directions. “To a eenwble looker-on, conld anything be more absurd than tlie change* every few weeks- or months—from ruffles to ploating, from pleat ing to puffs, and from puffs back to ruffles again —bat then there is a most important difference between tho ruffles of the last and the ruffles of the first. Dressmakers solemnly announce it, iodic* hoar it with a little shriek, thinking of the dress recently made, not yet worn: but which is ri filed in tlie now old style. “Why, rufties arc no longer gilbert J, they are pleated, laid in single pleats all rntuiin< way.

Women arc always dying of something or other, one time it is thin shoes, another iimo it is light lacing, a third timo (before hoops came in fashion) the weight of skirts upon the hips, now it is of the enormous amount of trimming. Positively, of half tho woman who are dying, I believe two-thirds'are rick'of ruffles orkM such thing.

The detective, who, by the way, is the some who has exposed and ia prosecuting tbe anti gambling bund of swindlers saw the movement, and soon ascertained by per sonal observation that Mrs. Chase and daughters wore about SJ5.000 worth of diamond jewelry. A half hour later Mrh. Chase went to her room to attire herself for tbe evening hop. Tho burglar fol lowed, inserted his skeleton key,' bnt was obliged to abandon his design to en ter the room by tlio . timely presence of the deteotive. Tlie effort mode to un lock the door of her room alarmed Mrs. Chase to such a degree that she removed her baggage into tho suite of rooms oc cupied By Miss Cooper and sister, of Fifty second street, where, without ad vising the clerks of the hotel, she passed the night. At 11:30 r. jc., and just after all the guests had retired, both burglars. cau tiously approached room 66 from differ ent directions. Koch carried over his arm what purported to be a spring over coat, but which afterwards proved to be two heavy woolen blankets.

About eight or. nine months since a man living iu the Northern part of this city, went ont into the Eastern part of the State to seek Iris fortune iu the new mines- of that section, leaving his wife and one child here ia town. Some seven months ago ft gallant disciple of St. Cris pin persuaded the White Fine Widow to take up her abode with him in a house which , he furnished tor her. The new pair lived together for about seven months, when a few days since the genu ine husband returned. Of course there was trouble in the camp, bnt after some quarrelling tlie two men agreed to play a game of seven-up for the woman. The game came off last Saturday night, and tbe husband won his wife back bv just “two points,” The man claimed his wife, and the man of leather, could not sr.y but that he had fairly won her. The woman preferred the shoe-maker, but the husband and winner was determined to have his own. Ho packed up what furniture they possessed, aud last bunday evening, with all his honsehold goods, left by a fast freight wagon for California. When tlie wagon started from North C street there was quite a scene. A crowd of nearly one hundred persona hod col lected to see the husband carry away his “stake,” and there was much merriment over the romantic affair. Tho w.man cried and wanted to stay with with shoemaker who cried at parting-frith the treasure lie had lost by not holding enough “trumps.” He asked some of the crowd if they thought he would be arrested if he attempted to tako the wo man out of the wagon. They told him he had lost her “on the square” and he must bare it like a man; so the wagon moved on, and soon the fair one was “gone from his gaze.” Also—Mfty-Eight a a issued for SUt‘- C Also—Out tmmlrvu &cn» uf lauti.No 88,in 1711a district of Smntcr county.

Under tho recommendation of a bread merchant here, she sought and ob tained employment as a servant in tho family of a gentleman in the upper part of the city, where aho earned and receiv ed the confident e, and esteem of the family of her ‘ employer. Time passed on, nothing unusual‘in tho conductor appearance of the young woman eliciting more than ordinary attraction in the fami ly or community, until about tho first of tlio past week, when she was taken sick. No suspicion of the ennso of her illness was entertained^by the family in whose service she was, it being regarded as little more tliau some trivial Bummer complaint, which, under proper atten tion, would soon pass ott‘, so great was the fortitude exhibited by the yonng wpman. Her meals were served* ill-her room from time to time, no phy:-Solan being summoned, the family not suspect ing the cause of illness or understanding the nature of the case. Aitera city or two had elapsed tbe family were greatly annoyed by a highly offensive odor, to locate the cause of which enlisted their almost continual exertions. The room of tue patient wss visited on Wednesday mo*mug, when, by general consent, the oauseof the disagrecablo odor was deter mined to be located there. Horrible aus picious were excited. - The keys of -the trunk of the sick woman were demanded, in the search which was instituted. • Bhe stubbornly resisted tho demand: until n threat to tyfke open the trunk induced compliance. The trank was opened end revealed a most revolting, spectacle.— There, wrapped in « sheet, were the partially dooampooed remains-of* recent ly newly born infant, which the unfortu nate young woman ja supposed to have concealed there to hide the shame of her fall {corn virtue’s path.

Sirrine & Sou' Ayer’s Hair Vigor, For restoring Gray Hair to its natural Vitality and Color. - A dressing which b at onco agreeable, healthy, and effectual for preserving hair. Faded or ^ hair is soon 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 nso. Nothing can restore tho hair where tho follicles are destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But sucli as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling tbe hair with a pasty sedi ment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional uso will prevent tlus hair from turning gray or falling off, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious substances which make sonic preparations dangerous, and injurious to tho hair, tbe Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can bo found so desirable. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does .not soil white cambric, apd’ yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich,, glossy lustre and n grntefnl perfume. Prepared by Dr. J. C.
