The Malden Speech of a Carpet-
Bagger.
A North Carolina Scalawag in Congress
—lie Cries for a Legacy of Arms —
The Democrats Dangerous.
la the United States House of Repre
sentatives, on Fri Jay last, Dewees, of
North Carolina, made his maiden
speech. It was absurd enough in itself,
hut it 13 evident that by force of arms
alone do the scalawags hope to retain
the control of the Southern States.
The following extract from the pro
ceedings of the House will give an idea
of the scene when Dewees spoke:
Mr. Washburne next yielded the floor
to Mr. Dewees,of North Carolina, who
commenced speaking far back on the
Republican side of the House.
The excitement which had prevailed
throughout the discussion seemed to be
on the increase, and it was suggested
that Mr. Dewees, who could not he
-heard from where he was speaking,
should speak from the clerk’s desk,
t Mr. Dewees, having complied with
phut suggestion, addressed the House j
aigainst adjournment. Some provision
Should he made for the new government
'of the Houtheru States, and for the pro
flection of the loyal people, otherwise
the rebellion would he re-established.
|The Letter of Mr. Blair would be carri
|ed out. If Congress adjourned now,
[■before six mouths the last traces of the
[republican governments in the South
would have ceased to exist, and the Ku
Klux, the rebels, the slaveholding Cop
perhi-a : Democratic party would be
ruling there as they ruled in 1805.
Mr Brooks clapped his hands in ad
miration ol the speech, which was much
enjoyed on the Democratic side of the
House.
Mr. Woodward inquired of Mr. De
wees whether the reconstructed govern
ments in the Bouth could be maintained
in any other way than by the bayoflet.
Mr. De wees. We can if you will give
us arms to keep down the rebels, [tri
umphant laughter on the Democratic
sidej, and by no other means.
Mr. Woodward. Then, as I under
stand the gentleman, the governmants
which this Congress has been at such
great pains to reconstruct can only exist
by the bayonet.
Mr. Dewees. The gentleman’s party
in 1801 stole the arms that belonged to
the Government of the United States to
jslioot your loyal neighbor’s sons ; and
[the guns are still in the hands of the
slaveholding Democratic parly.
K Mr. Jones, of Kentucky, asked wheth
er the militia and all the arms in North
Carolina were not under the control of
the Governor and Legislature of that
State, as now constituted.
Mr. Dewees. No, sir; we have no
militia.
| Mr. .fonts It is your own fault.
| Mr. Dewees. Under the rule of the
■Democratic party from 18G1 to 1865,
levery musket, shot gun and horse-pis
!• tol was taken out of the hands of loyal
I men and put in the hands of Southern
The support given to
this question of adjournment on the
: : side of the House where I occupy a scat
sis for the purpose of carrying out the
■ 3d of July letter stamping out the loyal
, State governments and dispersing us
carpet-baggers. (Laughter.] I say to
them, "come on, whenever you feel
disposed. Come on. Stretch out, then,
your traitorous hands to touch agaiD
one fold of the old flag, and the repre
sentatives of four millions of men, who,
though black in skin, are white and
loyal in heart, will throw themselves as
a bulwark between you and those loyal
governments, and you will only live in
sad memories of bad events. Come on !
Come on !” [Unrestrained laughter
among the Democrats. ] If you want to
sustain those governments, you have
got to give us some assistance.
Mr. Ross. Is there not some danger
of tko Republicans losing the elections
there unless they get arms ?
Mr. Kelley. Is there not more dan
ger of Republicans, white or block, los
ing their lives V
Mr. Dewees (replying to Mr Kelley’s
i question.) There certainly is, if you
allow the Democrats any show at all.
Mu. Woiithy’s Vindication of
White Men. —Pending the discussion
of Mr. Sibley’s bill to remove the books
and records from the county site of
Russell county, &c., Mr. Worthy said
that he thanked the Senator from Lee,
Mr. Pennington, for his vindication of
the white men, Democrats of Russell
co., against the charges preferred
against them as riotous and disturbers
of the public tranquility by not permit
ting the officers of the law to enter upon
and discharge their duty—charges of
this kind were entirely too frequent,
unsupported by truth. Grave charges
of this character wero intended for po
litical effect, and for the purpose of in
fluencing this Legislature to enact laws
to advance the interest of particular
individuals—that he stood in the Senate
the solitary representative of the white
people—Democrats of Alabama ; and, :
as such representative ho denied that
the white people of the State were tur- j
bulent and riotous. They arc law
abiding, and the effort to make an im
pression to the contrary is unjust if not j
slanderous. They intend to obey all !
laws found on the statute books, as
peaceful citizens, until they can get a
chance to repeal such of them as they
regard as odious and offensive, which
they hope to accomplish at no distant j
'day.
| Mr. Coon said he was glad to hear j
the Senator from Pike say that the i
[Democrats would obey the laws.
e Mr. Worthy replied that he would
filiform the Senator from Dallas—that
whilst Democrats were quiet, peaceable
land orderly, and luteuded so to remain j
[and thus falsify the slanderous asper- i
toons sought to be fixed upon them, by
Ithose who desire some excuse for the '
jfehaetment of offensive laws ; yet,
and Conservatives would
jtak • the first opportunity to wipe from
‘tin- statute books all offensive laws of
Tie character of the one now under
'.consideration.

Terrible Tragedy.
A serious and bloody difficulty occur
red in this city last night, the particu
lars of which we gather as follows :
Last evening, about nine o’clock, a
party of gentlemen were in a restaurant
on Jackson street, near the corner of
Broad, when a gentleman drove up in
a carriage and called somewhat loudly
for his triends to come out and join
him in a ride. A Policeman standing
pear ordered the gentleman, in a very
offensive tone and manne*, not to make
so much noise. This brought from the
party a sharp retort, when the Police
man rapped for aid, and immediately
Chief of Police Dillon and Evans, Po
liceman, with others, appeared upon
the scene of conflict.
Dillon, without inquiry iuto the
cause of the trouble, ordered Captain
Lewis Picquet to be arrested and carri
ed to the Guard House. A few sharp
words ensued between the parties,
when Capt. Alexander Philip interpos
ed to prevent Picquet from being shot.
Dillon presented his pistol to Philip’s
left breast and fired, the ball entering a
little to the left of the left nipple, rang
ing across the body and making its exit
a few inches to the right of the right
nipple.
Capt. Philip fell, when Evans, po
liceman, fired two shots at him while
down and then struck him a severe
blow with his pistol on the head, giving
him a severe cut on the scalp.
The firing was rapid for a few mo
ments, and Cornelius Red received two
severe wounds, one of the balls passing
through both legs, breaking and crush
ing the bones of one and completely
disabling him. Another ball entered
and passed through his abdomen. Red
fell and exclaimed “I am killed,” when
Dillon ran up and fired upon him again
while down and disabled. Dillon’s ball
entered one side of his breast and, pass
ing through the body, entered and
crushed the bones of one arm.* This is
a mortal wound.-
It was reported that Evans was
slightly hurt in the hehd but could’ get
nothing authentic on this point.
All accounts agree that the difficulty
was commenced by the Police without
reason or just cause, and that they re
sorted to the use of firearms before
there was any necessity for such vio
lence.
From what we could learn from by
i slanders, Dillon and Evans, and espe
. cially the latter, are particularly to
blame for this lamentable occurrence.
The sworn conservators of the peace of
the city and by law suppposed to be the
protectors of our citizens, they volunta
rily and causelessly instigated and in
the most cowardly manner, consumma
ted this terrible tragedy.
Dillon was shot in the melee, and
dangerously if not mortally wounded.
He receivdd a severe contused wound
from a sj- at ball in the right side ol the
abdomen, and another ball entered his
leftside a iittle in front, and, passing
through the body, was lodged under the
skin ia the back a few inches to the
right of the uck bone. His Surgeon
does not think his wounds necessarily
fatal.
Captain Philip’s wound is serious
and painful hut not dangerous. The
ball did not enter the cavity, but passed
along under the skin and muscles out
side of the sternum.
Mr. Red’s wounds arc mortal and, at
the time of our going to press, he was
reported as gradually sinking. He
states that Dilion shot him last wniie he
was down and unable further to defend
himself. This account is corroborated
by several other witnesses of the bloody
scene.
This shameful and fatal tragedy is
one of the legitimate results of Radical
misrule. These Policemen are the pels
and pimps of Bryant, Blodgett and Cos.
—were elected by the Military Council
of which Blodgett is the head, and se
lected on the ground alone of their
Radical partisanship. An efficient, ac
tive, honest and intelligent gentleman
was displaced to make room for Dillon,
who was and is confessedly incompe
tent.
There was great indignation in the
breasts of our people last night, and
some feared that they would avenge
upon the authors of this bloody drama
the foul injuries inflicted upon peaceful
citizens.
Capt. Picquet was arrested and con
fined in prison, while Evans was per
mitted to range the city at large and en
joy, with his scalawag friends, the
fruits ol his bloody rencontre. This is
a fair sample of Radical justice and fair
ness.
It must be borne in mind that these
pretended officials have no authority
now to act as policemen. If their ap
pointment and subsequent acting as
such were legal even under the Milita
ry Bills, they have ceased to be such
since the order of Gen. Meade was is
sued directing all militrryjappointees to
eease their functions.
We beg our outraged citizens to keep
eool under this most foul and brutal
outrage. Let an earnest appeal to the
laic be made for retributive justice. Let
us exhaust all our legal remedies for
redress before resorting to the law of
retaliation. Let warrants be placed in
the hands of officers this morning for
the arrest of Evans. Let him be sub
jected to a fair investigation, and the
whole truth fully elicited.
The Right Man Found. —The pub
lic will remember the recent trial by
court martial of young Cody, of War
renton, charged with the murder of a
United States soldier in that town, in
March last. Mr. Cody was acquitted.
We learn that the military are now sat
isfied that they have discovered the
really guilty party in the person of a j
colored man.
We find the above in the Radical pa
per published at Augusta. What repa
ration is to be made Mr. Cody for his
brutal treatment while under arrest —
his long confinement, the shackles upon
his wrists, and all the other refinement j
of diabolism which distinguished mill- |
tary rule in Georgia? We doubt even I
if this statement finds its way into half ;
a dozen Radical papers in all the coun- j
try. So it goes.— Macon Messenger.
The Washington correspondent of
the Louisville Journal, speaking of the
scenes occurring at the adjournment of
Congress on Monday last, says “there
was a rush for the door, the carpet-bag
gers leading the way, loaded with sta
tionery.” They must have presented
a disgusting spectacle.
A letter from Sumter county says
“we will make plenty of corn to serve
the county without any from other
quarters. We have a large area planted
—fully one third more than last year.
The cotton is small for the time of
year, but looks well, and is growing
rapidly and throwing off some.”
The Corn Crop.— The Macon Mcs
senger says same of our country friends
insist that they will make plenty of
corn in spite of ail the croaking and
grumbling. The late rains have helped
them wonderfully —in many cases
doubled and trebled their prospects.
But they do not pretend to speak of all.
Glad to hear that many are much better
off than supposed a few days ago.
All Ministers of foreign powers in Ja
pan had joined in a protest against a re

has made its appearance.
They have anew drink down East
they call “Butler Cocktails.” You stir
it up with a spoon, squint one eye, and

five minutes before the concern was

nessee opens with a fierce and senseless
tirade against the KuKlux organiza
tion. The little of soul left to him ap
pears to be frightened almost out of its
frail and corrupt tenement by visions
of the siient and white-robed avengers
who ride by night. He tells the crea
tures whom he has assembled by proc
lamation, that he has already called
upon Thomas, the Federal Commander
of that District, for troops to suppress
the KuKlux, but that Thomas, on ac
count of his troops being engaged in
catching the illegal whisky distillers in
Brownlow’s immediate county, has not
been able to comply with the demand
based upon the following telegram from
Arnell, the Head Devil of Radicalism
in the Tennessee Legislature:
Executive Office, |
Knoxville, Tenn., June 15, 1808. j
Major General Geo. 11. Thomas, Com
manding, §'c.:
The following is a copy of a dispatch
from the Hon. Mr. Arnell :
Columbia, Tenn., June 14, 18G8.
To IK. G. Brownlow:
The KuKlux searched the train for j
me last night, pistols and rope in hand.
Empower me to call upon the military :
here if necessary in your name to sup- i
press all armed and masked parties in
this vicinity.
I propose to fight it out.
S. M. Arnell.
Thomas having left the brave Arnell '■
to “fight it out,” old Brownlow recom- j
mends that he be reinforced by the ;
“loil” militia. This and his refusal to '
recommend the removal of political j
disabilities from citizens of the State !
comprises the last State paper from the j
old fiend whom the fortunes of war I
have placed in a position where he may :
still add to the long list ol misdeeds j
which have made his name a synonime
for malice and cruelty.
The Eiroat Freshet in Baltimore.
#3,000,009 of rnoPEKTY destroyed.
We copy the following particulars of
the recent great flood in Baltimore,
from the telegraphic column of the Cin
cinnati Commercial :
Baltimore, July 24 —Rain com
menced falling early this evening. Af
ter a slight intermission, it began to
pour in torrents, and up to this hour, 2
p. m , it has continued to fall incessant
ly. That portion of the city adjacent
to Jones’ Falls is inundated, and travel
is entirely suspended in that vicinity.
Frederick and Harrison streets are com
pletely flooded ; also Center Market
space. The Maryland institute is sur
rounded by a sheet of rushing water,
that is carrying hogsheads, barrels,
bales of hay, &e., with it.
The first floors of the stores on the
streets named are under water, anil the
merchants are compelled to remove their
goods to the upper stories. The loss
will bo very heavy, hut can not now he
estimated. No loss of life reported,
f Later. ]
The river commenced rising a few
minutes before 1 o’clock, at the rate of
two inches per minute, and has continu
ed to rise up to this hour, 2:45 p. m.
Calvert street is flooded to Lexington
within a few feet of Monument Square;
North street almost its entire length,
to a depth of from four to eight feet;
Holiday street to Fayette street, the
fords there being surrounded by water
which is passing down Holiday to Bal
timore streets. Gay, Frederick and
Harrison streets are entirely submerged.
The water at Jones’ Fall is several feet
above the bridge and it is not yet known
whether the bridge have been swept
away.
On many wharfs South or Pratt street,
from the Fall to Frederick street, the
water is several feet deep. A city pas
senger car was swept from the track on
Gey street, down to Harrison, with a
number of passengers. The wildest ru
mors prevail in regard to the number
drowned, some estimate the number at
seven; others say all were saved but. one
—Mr. Ward, a printer, who was drown
ed. It is impossible to get the facts.—
A number of dray horses and some dri
vers are reported drowned.
There is no communication between
the eastern and western portions of the
city. The flood is sweeping evey thing
before it. There is no communication
South by telegraph, all the lines being
down. No such flood was ever known
here before.
[Second Dispatch.]
Baltimore, July 24—10 P. M. —The flood, to
day, subsided as suddenly as it arose. Shortly
after 4 o’clock, the water was carried off within
the banks of Jones’ Falls. At this hour the
damage eanDot be approximated, but nore of
the estimates place it below $3,000,000. Hun
dreds of stores are submerged, and many hogs
heads of molasses on the wharves and sugar in
warehouses are entirely destroyed. A number
of buildings and stores were undermined and
damaged. Dcnmead’s foundery and Bentley’s
iron works were partially swept away.
The gas works supplying the eastern part of
the city wero submerged, and that section is
without gas to-night. Some of the water mains
are reported carried away.
The loss of life in the city has not been ascer
tained. It is believed, however, that but tew
have been drowned. Mr. Ward, who was re
ported drowned, was saved and is well.
(Jol. Webster, Collector of the port, rescued
a drowning man by rushing in four feet of
water as the man was being borne away in a
torront, completely exhausted.
Trains to Washington are running. The
damage to the Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
is comparativefy small. On the Northern
Central road the damage is reported greater,
and trains will not run for several days.
A telegram this afternoon from Ellicott City,
formerly Ellicott’s Mills, reports the Graffito
Mills carried away and sixty lives (lost. Dr.
Owen’s en<ire family, except himself, wero
drowned.
The Maryland Flood—Statement
in Regard to the Loss of Life.—
Baltimore , Sunday , July lb. —The num
ber of persons missing and drowned
in Ellicott City, as received at the
: offices of the city papers to night, reach
jcs thirty-seven. The number of drown
ed and missing in Baltimore City is six.
The long bridge spanning the I'atapsco
I from the foot of Light streetto the Anne
Arundel shore, is blocked up with the
debris of the flood. The river surface
for several acres is jammed with the
wreck of over thirty houses, all kinds
of movables, factory fixtures, boilers,
parts of engines and every species of
property. Nearly two hundred bales
; of cotton have been taken out of the
j mass.
The Removal Question in Rus
! sell County. —We have not seen the
act of the Legislature concerning the
eminty cite of Russell county. Wc
understand, however, it submits the
question of “Removal” or “No Remo
val” to a vote of the people of the coun
ty. If a majority vote for removal,
then it is made the duty of the Com
missioners’ Court of the county to lo
cate the new county site at or within
five miles of the village of Silver Run.
If the majority vote against removal,
the Court House will remain at„Craw
ford.

New Orleans, August I.— Citizens

! SUNDAY MORNING, AUGUST 3.
Reduction of Official Bonds.
Georgia, like the other Southern
States, is met in the attempt to organ
ize her Stale government by a difficulty
almost insuperable. Her statute law
wisely demands of parties, who are to
assume control and management of the
lives and property of citizens, that they
I shall give good and sufficient security
for the faithful discharge of the duties
of their offices, and for the honest dis
bursemeut and sate custody of such pub
lic or private monies as may he placed
in ’their hands. Os the heterogenous
crew that have been elected to the vari
ous State, county and municipal offices,
it is safe to say that not one can give
the bond required by law. In addition
to the want of qualification for the dis
charge of the duties of the positions to
which they have been elected by force
; and fraud, these people are mostly
paupers as to purse, and of no credit
whatever. They cannot furnish tbe
security which is a pre requisite of their
installation into the-fat places for which
they have hungered and thirsted. The
very few men of means and credit of
their political faith are the very last
ones who will be likely to hazard their
possessions and reputation upon an
issue which promises nothing but loss,
and Democrats surely will not step
forward to the relief of embarrassments
not of their own making. The carpet
bag Governor, wiiose administration is
doomed to ignominious failure, fully
appreciating the situation, advised in
liis message that official bonds should
be reduced in amount. Mr. Bethune,
of Talbot county, has embodied the
gubernatorial suggestion in a bill, and
the Legislature is now called upon to
put a lot of ignorant and irresponsible
vagabonds into positions of honor, trust,
profit, and responsibility, upon bonds
which may be considered the equiva
lents of what is known in law as straw
hail. Without this is done, Bullock
and his party, to use a forcible though
inelegant expression, “is done for.” If
just and proper security is demanded,
such security as is called for by Law,
the political power aud control of the
State cannot pass into radical hands.
The Legislature in an outburst of gen
erous enthusiasm, after the defeat of
Blodgett, Bullock and Brown, passed
the following resolution :
Resolved, That we, like men having
the interest of our State at heart, do
bury all party feeling and prejudice,
and go forward to perfect the enact
ment" of such laws as will establish
peace, harmony, etc., among all the
people of this State.
Legislative reports say it was adopted
without a dissenting voice. If the men
who voted for it are honest men, and
carry at heart the interests of Georgia,
if they really desire to pass such laws
as will promote her peace and prosper
ity, they cannot conscientiously pass a
law that will turn over the property of
the State, and the interests of widows,
minors and orphans to a shoal of sharks.
There are plenty of men in Georgia
capable and honest, and qualified to fill
every office in the State, and who can
give all the security and more too, than
that now required by Law, Many of
these men are now in official positions
where they have been retained for years
by reason of their capacity, intelligence
and integrity. They can hold over
until their successors are elected and
qualified. Let the Legislature of Geor
gia see to it, that they do so hold until
their successors arc qualified, or ex
puuge at once from their journals their
virtuous resolve. If men cannot qualify
—order an election, in which “sharp
and quick” shall have no hand, and
the people of Georgia will elect such as
can and will do so. By the just, proper
aud feasible process pointed out by us
—the utter and complete destruction of
Builock and his party may he accom
plished.

COMMUNICATED.
Newton, Baker Cos., Ga., July 27.
Messrs. Editors Columbus Sun :
Gents.—l have seen your report of
the fire which took place here on the
morning of the 18th of July, which you
say was given you by au eye witness.
I suppose the report was made by a red :
headed Jew, who goes by tho name of
Coheu or Cophan, or any other uame
that suits his fancy. It is generally
believed by tbe citizens that lie was
hired and sent here for the purpose of
burning Cline’s house, and hi 9 report
corroborates tho opinion, as in the re
port he tries to make it appear that the
Messrs. Odum’s were heavily insured
and that the fire originated or was set
in their house, which he knew was
false. He left here as soon as he could
after the lire to go to Albany, and was
to return by the next hack, which he
failed to do. He came here twenty
days before the fire, and was preten
ding to clerk for Criuc, which was
rather suspicious, as Criuc has litul no
clerk before during the year, and when
all tho merchants had discharged all ;
tho extra help they had. If lie will
show his face in this place I will guar
antee he will never set another village
on fire. The fire was set between
twelve and one o’clock on the morning
of the 13th, between the houses of
Odum & Bros, and H. Crine’s, in an
alley about two feet wide. The buil
dings wers of yellow pine K and burned i
very fast. Mr. P. L. Odum escaped j
from the burning building saving only
the clothes he had on—shirt and drawers. !
The losses are about as follows : VV. C.
Odum & Bro. SI,BOO ; they had paid .
and applied for a policy for $2,100 j
in the Southern Insurance Company of j
Nashville, Tennessee, in April last, but
they had never received it. H. Crine’s
loss $2,800, insured in the Planter’s
Insurance Company of Memphis, Ten- j
nessee, for $3,000, and in the “Security"
of Louisville, Kentucky, for $2,000 —lie |
had his house insured for $1,500 —he j
only paid last December S4BO, and
offered it in January for $250. J. Scol
lay lost about $1,500 ; insured in the j
“iEtna” for SSOO. C. C. Davis’ loss
$1,200; insured for S6OO in the “Globe.” )
W. D. Williams’ loss $8000; no iusu- |
ranee. Levi Adams’ loss $000; no in
surance. Mrs. A. Johnston’s loss $000;
no insurance. George Taylor, colored
barber, loss S4O; no insurance. Shep- j
perd, colored shoemaker, loss $75; no ;
insurance. Engles & Renis’ loss SBOO,
by removing stock. D. L. Parker’s
loss S2OO, by removing stock.
- Please publish the above in justice to
the Messrs. Odums, and oblige,
Yours respectfully,

Post Master.
The Danhrupt Law Amenilett.
The “fifty-per cent, clause” of the
Bankrupt law, as it is called, was so ■
amendod by a bill passed in the Senate
on Saturday night as to allow all per
sons who apply before tho first day of !
January, 1809, to have the benefit of
the bankrupt law whether they pay
fifty per cent of their debts or not.
The bill is as follows :
“Be it enacted, &c., That the provis- i
ions of the second clause of the thirty
third section of said act shall not apply ;
to the cases of proceedings in bauk
rmnptcy commenced prior to the first
day of January, eighteen hundred and
sixty-nine, and the time during which
the operation of the provisions of said
clause is postponed shall be extended ;
until said first day of January eighteen j
hundred and sixty-nine. And said !
clause is hereby so amended as to read ,
as follows: In all proceedings in j
bankruptcy commenced after the first
day of January, eighteen hundred and i
sixty-nine, no discharge shall be grant
ed to a debtor whoso assests shall not j
be equal to fifty per cent, of thqclaims
proved against his estate, upon which
he shall be liable as principal debtor,
and who shall have proved their claims,
be filed in the case at or before the time j
of the hearing of the application for dis- i
charge.
“Section 2. And be it further enac
ted, That said act be further amended
as follows: The phrase ‘presented or 1
defended,’ in the fourteenth section of
said act, shall read ‘prosecuted or de
fended’ ; the phrase ‘Don-resident debt
ors’ ; that the word ‘or’ in next to the
last line of tho thirty-ninth section of j
the act shall read ‘and’; that the phrase j
‘section thirteen,’ in the forty second i
section of said act, shall read ‘section
eleven’ ; and the phrase ‘or spends any ;
part thereof in gaming,’ in the forty- j
south section of said act, shall read, or 1
shall spend any party thereof in i
gaming’; and that the words ‘with the j
senior register, or,’ and the phrase ‘to
be delivered to the register,’ in the
forty-seventh section of said act, be
stricken out.
“Section 3. And be it further enacted,
That registers in bankruptcy shall have
power to administer oaths in all cases,
and in relation to all matters in which
oaths may he administered by commis
sioners of the Circuit Courts <>f the
United States, and such commissioners
may take proof of debts in bankruptcy i
in all cases; subject to the revision of
such proofs by the register and by the
court, according to the provisions of
said act.”
There can be little doubt that the
President will sign the bill.
Alabama Legislature
On Friday, Mr. Martin, of Russell, 1
introduced a bill in the Alabama Senate
to re-establish the election precincts in
that county, and to enable the electors
to cast ail of their votes in one day. It
was referred to the Committee on Elec
tions.
On the same day Mr. King, of Henry,
introduced a bill to remove the county
site of Henry county. It was read the
second time and referred to the Com
mittee on County Organizations.
In the House, Mr. Hardy, of Dallas,
Chairman of the Committee on Indus
trial Resources reported favorably upon
the report of the Comissioners of Im
migration, and advised the House to
have 10,000 copies printed, and a color
ed map of tho State showing her min
eral wealth, etc.—report concurred in.
Tho committee reported with amend
ment favorably to tho bill to provide for
the payment of officers not provided
for by law.
Mr. Harrington moved to amend by
paying the Clerks of Committee’s $6
per day instead of ss—adopted.
Mr. Thompson moved an amendment
to include Hall attendants at 52 r>o—
The original bill as amended was then
read the third time and passed.
Montgomery, Aug. I.—ln the Ben
ate to-day, a militia bill was passed.

The disability removal hill was hotly
discussed. Mr. Pennington and other
Republicans strongly urge the removal
of all disabilities. The tinfivo Repub
licans generally favor it, bill the North
ern Republicans favor it.
In the House, Mr. McOraw, the
Speaker, got through a bill removing
disabilities from the people of Chambers
county. This is hoped to he the enter
ing wedge for a general hill.
The Common Carrier hill, intro
duced by a negro from Mobile, is a
bone of contention, and is causing such
hard feeling that tho negroes are clatn
orottß for its removal, and the mover of
the hill says if it does not pass it will
cause serious disturbance in Mobile.
The bill provides that whites and blacks
shall ride in the same railroad cars and
in the same steamboat cabins.

IMPORTANT FACTS :
43rThe£6 Scales are manufacture'! only by
the Original Inventors, and all others repre
sented as Fairbanks’ are mere imitations, of
which purchasers should beware.
/fifr-They are extremely simple In construc
tion, are made oi the very best materials, by
experienced and intelligent workmen, and un
der the strictest supervision oi the inventors.
♦arThey have been in constant use in all
branches of business ior thirty years, in all
parts of the world, and, having been most thor
oughly tried, are the acknowledged standard.
4j-fhey have taken more first premiums
than all other Scales, and, what is oi more
pactical value,have received the award oi supc
rlor excellence by the vast numbers who have
used thorn for many years.
WThey are fully warranted not onlystrong
and accurate, but durable; and the manulac
turers, who are peimanently established and
tully responsible, will always be prompt to
make this warranty good.

and superior facilities of the manufacturers,

equal size and strength.

are cheap, convenient, strong, accu
rate, and durable, their superiority in these re
spects having been proven by long use, and no
pains will be spared to maintain, and, 11 possi
ble, improve tneir quality.
Wit is a significant fact, which tite public
will appreciate, that whenever new scales are
put upon tho market, as largo numbers have
been from time to time during tho la*t thirty
years, It seems to be the first and chief aim oi
the makers to show that they aro the “same as
Fairbanks,” or like them, or are improvements
upon them, or have taken premiums over
them, thus recognizing the lattor a! the stand
ard for excellence, and showing the str-.ng
hold they have upon the public confidence.

Dr. Hull--Dear Sir—My husband. Dr. C.
Johnson, was a skillful surgeon and physician
In Central New York, where he died, leaving
tho above C. P. Johnson to my care. At thir
teen years of ago he had a chronic diarrhoea
and scrofula, for which l gave him your Sarsa
parilla. It cpbbd him. I have tor ten years
recommended it to many In New York, Ohio,
and lowa, for scrofula, fever sores, and gonorul
debility. Perfect success has attended it.
V he cures effect'd in some cases of scrfula and fe
ver sous were almost miraculous. I am very anx

Sarsaparilla. He is fearful ot getting a pu
