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. A motion to suspend the rules to take up the Texas and Pacific Railroad'bill wa3 lost—yeas, 75; nays, 103. A similar motion for the general amnesty bill failed—yeas, 74; nays, 101. The joint resolution - suspending the use of meters at whiskey distilleries, passed. congressional. Washington, July 11.—House.—The Com mittee on Appropriations was ordered to in vestigate the Washington Markethouse on the allegation that nearly a half million of stock was corruptly placed. The general disability and naturalization bills, as amended by the Senate, passed— 123 to 53, and goes to the President. The ma jority report, that CoL Segar, as congressman at large, is not entitled to a seat, was adopted after an hour’s debate, without division. Fifty thousand dollars were appropriated for expenses of the Indian delegations. Blaine appointed Scbenck, Kelly and Brooks a Committee on the tax bilL Senate.—The credentials of Anthony and 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. Mrs. Lincoln’s pension was postponed. Appropriations were resumed. The Charles ton Customhouse gets three hundred thousand. In the Executive Session on Now York nomi nations no result was reached. Washington, July 12.—The Senate bill giv ing the Mobile and Pennsicola Railroad land has passed. The Honse referred the Georgia bill to a committee of conference.The committee on the part of the House is not yet named. House.—The conference report on the army appropriation bill was adopted. It appropriates $29,000,000. The conference report on the funding bill was rejected. The opposition was mainly from the West and Sonth, on the ground that compelling new banks to use new bonds was unjust. Blaine announced Butler, Farnsworth and Paine as the committee on the Georgia bilL Senate.—$100,000 are appropriated for pub lic buildings at Little Rock; $3,000,000 at St. Louis, $150,000at Leavenworth, Kansas; $100,- 000 at Trenton, N.

The bill aiding the New Orleans, Baton Rouge and Vicksburg Railroad, passed. In the House, a conference committee was ordered on the army and civil appropriation bilL The conference report on the tax and tariff bill was adopted and goes to the President The 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 tion in the taxes of the country. He com plained that the House, by concurring in the first °™«nflraent of the Senate, which struck out one-half of the bill, had put it out of the power of the Committee to do anything in re lation to a large class of taxes. By adopting that amendment, the House - had released bankers and broken from .special taxe / ;■ 4;." w 5~K, > From-Atlanta, i. Atlanta, July 11.—The Legislature met to day.

Waeeenton, Va. 12.—The Educational Conven tion, composed of the teachers, professors and presidents of colleges and the University of the State of Virginia, convened here to-night. They held a preliminary meeting here to-night, and adjourned over till morning. Richmond, July 12.—At 12 o’clock, last night, while twenty convicts from the State prison, at work on the Chesepeake & Ohio Rail road, were being marched to their cabins, one of them wrested a gun from one of the guard named Sevarly and shot him dead. A fight en sued between the guard and convicts. Several of the latter were wounded. Only two convicts made their escape. NewYobk, July 12.—There was a riot to-night between the whites and blacks in the eight ward. The police, for a time, were beaten off, but finally arrested tho ringleader. None killed.

Washington, Jely 11.—Specials to the New: York Herald, dated London, 10th, says military 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 o’clock, have just closed" at 88^;-other funds have advanced proportionately. A much bett6r feeling prevails at Paris. Bourse at 2 o’clock— Rentes were 69 ’francs 40 centimes, a very decided advance. • In the Honse to-day Gladstone said the Ho henzollem nomination had taken the English Government by surprise. France had threat ened to proceed to extremities. Should France persist, her Majesty’s Government would ex haust every means to prevent war npon ’ a case so little warranting it. Rome, July 1L—The holy father has exercised no coersive pressure npon infallibility. The Journal Di Rome says, he has only shown patience and forbearance. Pabis, July 11.—The Moniteui announces it will no longer give publicity to the movements of troops. The Prussian answer is etill momentarily ex pected. The Bourse is excited—Rentes 68 and 70. The Journal says, in case of war, the Em peror will command in person with the Prince Imperial on his staff. The strike at Mulhause continue. 16,000 workmen are involved, Beblin, July 11.—The semi-official journal Biiys: France persists in insult to Prussia, by holding Prussia responsible for the Hohenzol- lern candidature. The North German Parliament has been summoned to answer France. Reports of naval preparations on the part of Prussia are untrue. • . .j ■. ;, . Plymouth, England, July 11.—Several Prus sian iron clads recently lying at anchor in this port, were ordered to the Baltic yesterday. These orders were countermanded to-day, and the-vessels sailed towards Cherbourg. Madbid, June 11.—The Regency reiterates the declaration that its cause is dictated by no hostility to France. Republican journals say the only solution to the troubles is an im mediate declaration for a Republic. 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 dates are silent regarding the massacre. It is a hoax. The telegraph says were Prussia to reply pre cisely as France requires, it would not guaran tee peace. Pabis, July 12.—The feeling to-day is quieter, though the Bourse at midnight continued ex cited. Rentes 69 25. The Emperor has arrived at the Tuilleries. . The Prussian Embassador bas returned from Ems. Ollivier declines to receive as a gage of peace the King’s withdrawal of his sanction of Hohenzollern’s candidature, unless he does it as King of Prussia, iustead of as head of the 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 moke another declaration to-day, as all diplo mats were invited to an after interview. 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 the forced sale on speculation. The Parisian journals have reports of im mense movements of German troops towards the frontier. The roads are encumbered with men and wagons. It is reliably stated that re lays of transportation are so arranged that 35,- 000 infantry and five thousand cavalry can reach the frontier in ono day. Drilling, and artillery practice is going on throughout Prussia. It is stated that an envoy has gone to Vienna for tho purpose of an offensive and defensive alliance between France and Austria. ' Austria's answer is not published. Lateb.—The Evening Journal say the first Prussian army oorpshas beengirdered to maroh to the fortresses on the Rhine. A letter from Prim, dated 8th, says: I never suppose# that France could he so pressed in tins matter; but Spain cannot, without shame, draw back. So, “en avant et vir espagne.” It is Bfated that the Orleans Princes are active in the Hohenzol lem candidature. 2 p. m.—It is reported that the questions are amicably adjusted.

Hie members of the committee are to initiate the plan by acting npon it immediately after its harmonious, cepted with cheerfulness, as in accordance with the spirit of the century. DeRodas has ordered an election for depu ties to the Cortes. : The Cubans of the Camaguay have abandon ed the rebellion and are working their planta tions. - - '"ItSOltimK Pabis, July 13.—The Constitutionel, the Min isterial organ, says: “The government has tes timony that the candidature of the Prince of Hohenzollem is withdrawn, and the peace of Europe will not be disturbed. Wo are. satisfied that Hohenzollem will not reign in Spain. We demand notiing more, and rejoice at this pa cific solution.” A questionable dispatch from Dusseldorf, this morning, says: “ Leopold accepts the Spanish crown, on condition of the immediate declaration of war against France, should the latter attack Germany.” Evening—The papers report the Ministers all resigning. Brussels, .July 13—10 a. m.—Warlike pre parations continue in France, noth withstanding the withdrawal of Prince Leopold. There is a universal fear of war. London, July 13.—The government nearly monopolizes the telegraph cables leading to the continent with "dispatches on the Spanish ques tion. As a consequence, business is deranged and news delayed. PrivateEuropean war items cause the omission of much interesting matter. Measures are abont to be taken to detect and punish the author of the Chinese massacre hoax. A Berlin dispatch, just received,, says that in spite of the withdrawal of Hohenzollem France maintains a threatening attitude. ’"" » *** Constantinople, July 13.—Fifteen hundred houses, mostly of the poorer classes, were burned last night. Beblin, July 13.—Tho Kreuz Gazette says: “Germany indignantly repels the measureless arrogance of France. Prince Leopold renoun ces the candidatnre, because he is unable to reconcile the character of a German soldier with the action involving Germany and Spain in war.” 1 *"."'I j • Bismarck is here. ■ , ' died, •; ' 10th June, on his farm, near Macon, Ga., Michael Johnston, in the 82d year of his age, after a linger ing illness of many months, which he bore with Christian patience and resignation.

In India, Africa and China, where this dreadful disease is more or less prevalent, the Pain Killer is consid ered by the natives, as well as European residents 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.

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. H.
