^Atlanta had a Mercer University meeting
and Wall street, from which millions
of revenue could have been collected
without the least injury to the mate-,
rial interests of the country, whereby that
action made them free of tax. The lotteries
and theatres were also made free by another
portion erf the bill, which had been stricken out.
The Conference Committee were prevented
from providing for any security in the printing
and issuing of revenue stamps, which amount
to $100,000,000 annually, and for the embezzel-
ment of which there was not sufficient responsi
bility. He felt that the House had acted hastily
and injudiciously in accepting thatamendment.-
Mr. Brooks, of New York, addressed the
House, claiming that while there has been a re
duction of the duly on tea, sugar, coffee-, spices,
and some other articles, the duty had been in
creased on a large number of articles,'and was
proceeding to enumerate some of them, when
he was interrupted by
Mr. Benjamin, of Missouri, wht\ reminded
him that the duty on hemp, an important pro
duct of his State, had been reduced thirty per
cent
Mr. Brooks—“ Oh, well, hair pins are re
tained.” •
Mr. Benjamin—-“Yes, but hair pins do not
gTow in the soil of Missouri.”
Mr. Brooks reviewed the bill by items, and
claimed that it had been framed in the interest
of manufacturers at the expense of the laboring
classes. He gave notice that the people would
not submit to the bill, and that its speedy re
vision would be demanded. Even the negroes
of the South would soon be sufficiently educated
to understand that they are taxed on their
shovels, their hoes, and even on their spool
cotton.

Cregaa were presented.
The following discussion illustrates the tax
sale bill which passed to-day: Trumbull called
up the bill to confirm the title of purchasers to
lands sold for taxes in the late insurrectionary
States.
Bayard opposed the bill. He said it con
firmed sales which had been attended with the
grossest irregularities, and the conditions im
posed upon the original owner, before he can
recover his land, are most onerous and unjust.
Trumbull said the man who neglected to pay
his taxe3 deserved to pay costs before he could
recover his property.
Casserly said the bill was designed to make a
void sale for taxes a valid one, and impose con
ditions of recovery that were extraordinary and
unheard of, and, in his judgment, illegaL
Bayard moved to strike out the clause re
quiring the payment of costs and penalties, by
the original owner, before receiving back his
land, which was rejected. Bayard moved to
amend by-providing that the bill shall only be
of effect where sales were made according to
law. He knew that in some of these sales the
costs had been piled np without regard to law.
The amendment was rejected and the bill
then passed.

following colloquy indicates its character:
Hr. Schenck said the Senate having accepted
the report of the Conference Committee, it
now rested with the Honse whether the bill
was to become a law. He said that by a cal.
culation, based upon the receipts of last year,
the bill as it now stands would effect a reduc

plained that the House, by concurring in the

out one-half of the bill, had put it out of the

preparations were going on b11 last night in
Paris. If tho candidature of Prince Leopold
is not withdrawn within tho next twenty-four
hoars the French Ministers will be recalled from
Berlin and Madrid, and war be declared.
The conduct of France in enforcing this is
sue and refusing to leave the question of the
throne to the Spanish people, is strongly con
demned by all Europe, and Prussia’s calm and
dignified position is approved.
London, July 11.—A panic exists here in
business circles, attributed to the approaching
settlements, and fears that bankers will con
tract their accommodations. Dispatches from
various Eapropean capitals this morning, an
nounce the war excitement increasing, particu
larly in moneyed circles. All sorts of securi
ties have declined, and are heavy. The . Tele
graph newspaper says : “Moneyed men, known
to be in Napoleon’s confidence, are heavy sell
ers of securities.”
The London Times says: “It is still possible
to look calmly at the fotore, and diplomats
must seek to impress France with the extrava
gance of her pretensions and susceptibilities,
,in absence of all real danger. Similar jealous
ies passed without* oollision in 1840 and 1858,
The balance of European power is undeserving
, a thought The real issue is the
the Rhine’s left bank. The contest will last un
til one or the other powers is exhausted. Civ
ilization has everything to loee in such a con
test, and France evidently is in the wrong."
After farther arguments indicating Spain’s
right to choose her King, the Thunderer says :
“Neutral powers must act instantly and firmly
to prevent a collision.”
The same edition of the Times, however, de
plores the probable injury to Franas by the en
thronement of Hohenzollem.
Lateb.—The feeling is more quiet both here
and in Paris, and the impression is gaining
ground that the question between Prussia and
Franco will be settled without resorting to ex
treme measures.
Securities have advanced several per cent,
since morning. The tendency is still upward.
American sixty-twos, which were 86J at one

In the Honse to-day Gladstone said the Ho

so little warranting it.

A Fine Race Tbaok.—In company with Mr.
Samuel P. Salter, of Houston county, who is
one-of the stockholders in the Laboratory and
grounds and also the general superintendent for
putting the building and premises in order for
the coming Fair in October next, we rode out
yesterday to see what he hod been doing of late
toward that end. The new track is abont com
pleted, and at a cost of $2,500. It is one of
the finest tracks in the countiy, and is very
nearly a dead level. Turfmen say the rise in
the track on the homestretch is rathor an ad
vantage than otherwise—being only 15 inches
to the 100 feet—as it will tend to rest a horse by
bringing into action a different set of muscles
from those nsed in running npon the first three-
fourths of the mile. Parties who will attend
the trotting match this afternoon will be sur
prised at the beanty of the track and mnch oth
er work that has been done and is still in pro
gress. The grounds have all been nicely paled
in and a large amount of lumber for building
a hippodrome is on hand and competent work
men engaged to put np the structure.
Mr. Salter is determined this year to have
everything in readiness before the time of the
fair, and does not intend to allow mismanage
ment in any department. He has had mnch
experience in snch matters in Kentucky and
knows precisely what ought to be done, and has
the spirit and energy to do it. There will be
no snch thing as failure this falL We see this
very clearly in what is now going on at the Lab
oratory and in the spirit of the man who is at
the helm of affairs.
London, July 12.—Nothing confirmatory of
the Chinese massacre has been received. Late

Hohenzollem family.
Miclialet, in the Rappelle of to-day, says:
Plebiscite means peace and a pledge for peace.
He says if it is doubted, let the vote be repeated.
The Spaniards are apparently unconcerned
about the situation. The position of Italy is
uncertain. Prussia will establish an intrepid
comp of twenty-four thousand men at Larrache.
The news that the difficulty with Prussia had
been settled, was founded upon the announce
ment that the father of Hohenzollem wonld re
fuse the crown for his son, even if elected by
the Spanish people.
Ollivier, de Grammont and the Prussian Min
ister conferred this afternoon.
It was expected that tho government wonld

Ollivier replied to an int erpellation, that in
formation wonld be given at the proper time.
The panic onthe bourse, to-day,was caused by

Prim, dated 8th, says: I never suppose# that

London, July 13.—The government nearly
monopolizes the telegraph cables leading to the
continent with "dispatches on the Spanish ques

arrogance of France. Prince Leopold renoun

The market has stood steady all the week under
review at 17 cents for middlings, hut during the
early part of the week, and when the prospects of a
European war were promising, prices were a little
weak and the demand fell off. Since yesterday
morning, however, prices have ruled firm and hold
ers have stubbornly refused to offer. The market
closed firm this evening at 17 cents for middlings,
and little or none on the sample boards.

moderate circumstances can have a delicious des-
r ; ae H daily' for a Bnm so trifling that it is scarcely
worth naming. They can take their choice of fifty
delicate dishea, (each one of which the most fas
tidious epicure would smack bis lips over,) at a coat
wkiok. m these deaf times, may well be called nom

Russe, puddings, pies, creams, cakes and jellies,
are included in this cheap and varied bill of fare.
••But," says the skeptical reader, shrugging his
shoulders incredulously, .“this is not ah age of mir
acles ; give me facts, not assertions.” This ig an
age of miracles—miracles of science; and Sea "Moss
Farine, the new article that produces these bonnes
touches, is one of its wonders. Tho Sea Moss Fa-

It has loBt none of its good name by repeated tri
als, but continues to occupy a prominent position in
every family medicine cncst.
It is an external and internal remedy. For Sum
mer complaint or any other form of bowel disease
in children or adults, it is an almost certain cure,
and has without doubt, been more successful in cur
ing the various kinds of CHOLERA than any other
known remedy, or the most skillful physician. In
India, Africa and China, where this dreadful disease
is more or less prevalent, the Pain Killer is consid

in those climates, a sure remedy; and while it is a
most efficient remedy for pain, it is a perfectly safe
medicine, even in unskillful hands. Directions ac

be arrested, because it is due to the beat of the at

therefore, is the time to resort to Hostetter’s

of all vegetable tonics. Long experience bse
pfoved that nothing else will efficiently sustain and
regulate the system, when wilted down under the
double pressure of excessive besj, and constant
physical or mental labor. All persons who have
been tempted to try the local “tonics” teo^saUed)
which have been started by sordid speculators in
almost every town and village, with a view of “turn

this to their cost. It is a wise maxim that says,
“hold fast to that which is good.” Of the forty
millions of people in the United States, probably
one-fifth have tested the restorative properties of
Hostetter’s Bitters, and know it to be a specific for
dyspepsia, billioueness, nervous weakneOB, general
debility, constipation, fever and ague, and went of

experiment with the worthless nostrums reoom-

Experience of a Young Woman. —A country
girl, young, pretty arid happy, her step was elastic
and the roses bloomed upon her. cheek. One April
morn she was overtaken by a -‘spring shower,” and
“caught a cold.” It was her “particular time,” and
suppression was tho result. At the next period
nature refused to act- She became sallow, swollen,
and suffered intensely with pains in the back and
“lower stomach,” palpitations, difficulty of breath-
irig, indigestion and headache. Doctors failed to
palliate her distressed condition, and she longed for ■
death as the only hope of relief. At the instance
of a friend, who had herself experienced its benflts,
she was induced to try Dr. J. Bradfield’s Female
Regulator. One bottle cured her. She is again the
happy girl she waa that April morning before the ^
shower. The Female Regulator is prepared by L.

The portion of fame which would intoxicate a
vulgar mind, imparts little gratification to the true
genius, whose views ever extend beyond reality,
and who, by the very mental elevation which has
won celebrity, discovers the insignificance of toe
acquisition. Such is the view held by the proprie
tors of the “Old Carolina Bitters,” whose fame is
known throughout the whole Southern country as
the great cure for miasmatic diseases.
