In the Home, several bills on the sub ject of tho Paclflo Railroads and Texas Pacific Railroad, weru reported and miide special orders for tho ninth and fifteenth of May. A resolation for the final ad journment of congress on the 10th of Jana, was received from the Senate, and taken np for action. A motion to refer it to tbo committee on ways and means was defeated by a large majority, through a combination of anti-tariff Democrats and tho Republicans, but final action was staved off for the dsy by means of dilatory motions. The adjournment resolution cornos up again to-morrow. Tho Committee ot Ways aod Moans will vote on resumption and tho income tax tc-morrow. The following is the text, ot tbo bill, ns reported by the Senate Finance Committoo: An act to amend an act to provide for the resumption of specie payment] and for other purposes. That from and after the passage of this act. United States notes shall be receivable in payment for United States band*, now authorized by law to be issued, and on and after Octo ber 1st, 187S, said notes shall be rcceiva- bln for duties on imports, and said notes in the volume in ex istence of October 1st, 1878. shall not bo cancelled or permanently hoarded, but slinll bo reissuod and may be used for funding and all other lawful purposes whatsoever, to an amount not exceeding in the whole the amount then m circu lation, and iu the Treasury, aud the said notes, whether then in the Treasury or thereafter received, under any act of Congress and from whatever source, shall bo again paid ouj, and when again re turned to tho Treasury they shall not be cancelled or destroyed, but shall beissuod from ti mu to time with like qualities; and all that part of the act of January 14tb, 1875, ontitled an act to provide for tbo resumption of apecto payments, au thorizing the retirement of eighty per centum of United States notes, shall coase, aud become inoperative on and after said October 1st, 1878.

The motion to take up tho bill for tho relief of Warren Mitchell, of Louisville, allowing him $120,000 for cotton seized at Savan nah, was defeated by 23 to 25—x strict party vote. This is hnrdly a test case as Mitchell was of tho firm of Mitchell & Armstrong, and Armstrong was the fam ous pork packer for tho Confederacy ear ly in tho war, and the majority are dis posed to resist his claim on this account. Mr. Btuce, of Mississippi, presented tho petition of citizen* of Mississippi, praying for the refunding of the tax paid on cotton during tbo years 18G5, lSGti, 1SG7 and 18GS, and that it be returned to the Slates in which it was collected, if not claimed within three year?.

Washington, April 17.—Governor Brown, Vice President of tho Texas and Pacific Railioid Company appeared be fore the House to-day, in argument to sustain that company's title and right to mortgage its property weat of Fort Worth, as au indemnity to tbe Goverment for its proposed guarantee of interest on said oompany’s construction bond?. Mr. Campbell, the attorney for a French holder of bonds of tbe Memphis, Elpaso and Pacific Railroad Company, had pre viously alleged that tbe Memphis, Elpaso and Pacific Company’s charter still exists and covera the line from Fert Worth to Elpaso and a considerable portion of that already constrocted. He further alleged that the foreclosure proceedings against the road wero fraudulent and that any extension of the Texas and Pacific west of Fort Worth must be made under the charter of the Memphis and Elpaso Com pany. Governor Brown produced tho legisla tive record in evidence that the Texas and Pacific Company’s charter rights in Texas were derived directly from the State. He showed that the Texas Pacific Company had acquired foil and complete title and right to contraot by purchasing the property and franchises of the South ern Pacific Railroad Company, a corpo ration created by the Stale of Texas four years before the Memphis {and Elpaso Company was organized. This purchase was specially authorized by the Texas Legislature, and subsequently conferred. The Texas and Pacific also purchased the properly and franchisee of tho Southern Trans-Continental Company, another Texas corporation,which author ized them to build from Texarkana weat to Elpieo. He stated and read from the record to prove that subsequent to these purchases', the Texas legislature by its act of May 2nd, 1873, confirmed these purchase*, transfer of franchises, and di rectly authorized that Company to con tinue as well the construction of its lines now in operation as the line from Fort Worth to Elpato, and under this act the Company cons’ructed 424 miles of road, which was accepted by the State Govern ment r.nd .and certificate* issued in ac cordance with an act ot the legislature. He read from tbe annual report of the Company, dated August, 1875, giving a full account of the properties acquired, and showing that the Company had made a purchase from the Msmphia and Elpa so Company for the purpose of removing any possible question as to its title to the sixteen miles reservation, not its land grant, which the Legislature had declar- s»Uuc kliU dUIT j; m a# UI V BIIU august B1JT), At run and Septembers.

MAY SCO, 8 UherrySt., Macon, Goorgia. rOpposita Fir»t N* tional Bank ) MANUFACTURERS OF AND DEALERS IN I have just completed a large refrigerating ice house in my cellar, capable of holding 500 kegs of beer, I will keep the beer ice-cold all the time. It will be ship ped here iu Gaft' & Co's fine refrigerating cars, and will be as good when it arrives as when first made. I will handle both kegs and bottled beer. This beer is made especially for the Southern trade, and is pronounced by all who try it to be the best in the country. Messrs. Gaff & Co. are men of ample means, and have used every facility they have to make the JLUROxtA. BEER second to none in the United States. Below I annex statements from reliable merchants of several Southern cities who are handling these goods: I have been handling the Aurora Beer lor four years, and consider it second to none in America, J. J. HKNSOB, Nashville, Teiro. I haTo sold thirty thousand kegs of Gaft A Co’s Aurora Beer in three years, and it has given perfect satisfaction. j. p. DOLL. Vickiburg. Misi, Messrs. Gaff A Cos Aurora Beer is the finest aud best qntlitv I ever met with in this market. I havo used beer from almost every brewery of any note in the United States, and have no hesitanev in saying the Aurora Bcor gives tho b-st satisfaction of any. J AU’n. WALTZ. New Orleans. Wehave handled the Aurora Beer since 1873, and now wo can uso no other beer in this market. We hate hid shipments from Milwaukee, St Louisand Cincinnati since, but no go. Thoy all prefer Aurora Beer, as it seems to stand shipping bettor thsn any other, and Gaff A Co’s refrigervtoVears have beena success in keeping the beer as good when arriving as when it left tho brewery. Wo havo about 400 Germans, all of whom pronounce tho Aurora to be tbo best fceer ever in tho market. J. M. VETTER A CO, Chattanooga. Town. -. I have employed Mr. Jacob Russell to assist me in hand ling the beer, and he will call upon the parties who sell beer daily, and supply their wants, or try to. Mis long experience in the business is a guarantee that the beer will be properly handled. I will have a wagon and horses in a few days to de liver| the beer. 1 will guarantee every keg of the Aurora Beer to give satisfaction. I will keep from 300 to 500 kegs in stock iu my ice house, All orders promptly attended to, I W_ RA3DAL, AGENT. To the Trading Public. J. W.
