AUGUSTA, GA:
Saturday Evening, Mny 1,1898.
PiUHflgc of the Ivan sad Bill
By telegraph in another column, it
■will be seen that English’s Conference
Compromise Bill, has passed both Houses
of Congress, by a decided majority of
those voting. In the Senate the vote
stood 31 for, to 22 against; nine mem
bers not voting.
In the House 112 for, to 103 against—
nineteen members not voting.
Our first impulse on reading this item
of news, was of exultation at the set
tlement of this vexed question, and we
mechanically ran our eye along down
the column, to find a proclamation foi
a day of prayer and thanksgiving. Our
pleasure was of short duration, for our
'‘old fogyish” brain, true to its nature,
soon began to conjure up doubts as it
ran over the main features of the bill.— |
We are disposed to favor almost any bill!
which would settle, and settle perma
nently, this exciting question, and thus
give the country and its rulers an oppor
tunity to attend to many other ques
tions, on which our prosperity, asapeo- j
pie, depends. We would willingly
8 icrifice our preference, and adopt an
other, that promised success and peace,
that did not involve a surrender of prin
ciple for something of questionable
Utility.
But we Bhnll not attempt to get up an
indignation meeting—the passage of the
bill promises peace for a few days, and
small favors should be thankfully re
ceived, when the commodity is so scarce.
We will only add that in our humble
judgement the South has yielded a prin
ciple for an object which will never be
realized. She has consented—though
in an indirect way—to a submission of
the Lecompton Constitution, to a vote i
of me pc pl<? of Ka“s»B
- take it that our representatives
have made this concession in good faith,
for the sake of peace ; but has it not
been demonstrated that one Congress
does not feel itself bound by the action
of another ? May not Kansas pre
sent herself at Washington next De
cember, and demand admission with a
Constitution framed between now and
that time, when will be rehersed the
same excitements from which we now {
imagine we are just emerging? Is the |
prospect in the next Congress favorable j
to an increase of friends to our section ?
Then what have we gained?—what j
have we to hope ? naught save the Aim- j
gy and dishonest chance, that the peo- ,
pie of Kansas will be bought by English s
land clause.
Jgf A terrible crime has been com
mitted at Trieste. A young workman,
who maintained himself and his mother
by his daily labor, gained so little that
they lived most wretchedly. By dint
of privations he, however, saved up suf
ficient to purchase a lottery ticket. I lie
drawing took place a few days ago, and :
his ticket gained a prize of 16,000 flo-,
rins. Wild with joy, the young man
hurried to his mother, informed her of j
his good fortune, and asked for the
ticket. “Alas, my son,” said she, “I j
sold it some time back.” Without a
word, the young man drew his knife
and stabbed her until she fell dead at
his feet. He was arrested the same
day. So says an exchange.
Anniversary of tile Bllile Society.
The forty-fifth anniversary of the Au
gusta Auxiliary Bible Society will be

report of the Society’s operations will
be submitted by Rev. J. S. Lamab, and
several addresses may be expected. Ihe
public are invited to be present. Sev
eral speakers from abroad are present,
and the occasion promises to be one of
interest.

The Frost.
We continue to present our readers
such reports of the late cold and frost,
as have come to liand.
The damage is not reported as serious
by any of our state exchanges ; though
in occasional localities crops have suf
fered.
The Rutherford, N. C. Enquirer of
the 27th says :
We were greeted yesterday with a
fall of snow, which continued for seve
ral hours, but being accompanied with
rain it melted as fast as it fell, ihis is
rather late in the season for a visit of
this kind. We have not seen the oldest
inhabitant, but we have no doubt that
he does not remember a snow so late as
this.
Special Correspondence of the Dispatch.
Georgia R. R. April 2’Jth 1858.
Few persons while being hurled
through the air, at the rate of 30 miles
an hour, stop the current of their ac
customed thought to reflect upon how
much labor has been bestowed upon all
the details which have brought our
Railroad facilities to such perfection.
We forget in our ease and luxury, the
ever watclifull engineer ; we do not
give him credit for the care, the skil
and precission, with which he handles
the tremendous power under his control.
While coming down the road to day,
at “ Social Circle” a stirup supporting
one end of a spring on the engine broke,
the train hands under the direction of
the engineer at once commenced to
repair the damage, which was done by
raising, by means of jack screws, that
part of the “ machine ” taking out the
spring and its attachments, and substi
tiding blocks of wood. Forty minutes
were consumed by this opperation when
the train went on, at an accellerated
speed, arriving in Augusta at tbe proper
moment.
Some of your readers have heard of
“ Decatur,” we presume it was named
. in honor of the gallabt Commodore,
who is identified with the naval history
of this country.
We fear the “Decatur” of DeKalb
county, will represent only the physical
of the gallant hero, and like it fall into
decay;
We see around smyptoms of departing
greatness.
“The harp that once thro’ Taras Halls
|is heard no more in this “decayed
burg.” It is now a neglected “suburb”
of Atlanta, and might be an elegant
place for summer resort, but we pre
sume that it is so seldom they can rent
a house, that if they can ’catch a custo
mer they charge him double. Court
has been in session here ; several land
cases disposed of, several security cases
tried, a breach of jpromise case on the
j tapis, and several “very valuable" animals
killed on the railroad, recovered for.
I stopped anightinLithonia, a station
below the Stone Mountain, where there
is considerable business done , although
you frequently see wagons plodding
to Atlanta, where we presume bargain
are to be met with.
Mr. Born keeps a good public house
. here and if any of the readers of the
Dispatch, desire to spend a few weeks in
: the “ rural districts, we recommend

THIRTY-FIFTH COSGRESS.
Washington, April 28, 1858.
' SENATE.
I j Mr. Brown presented a memorial
from citizens of Washington, asking
> the repaving of Pennsylvania avenue,
cast of the Capitol : referred.
\ Mr. Mason presented resolutions from
’ | the General Assembly of Virginia, ask
j] mg the settlement of certain private
II claims.
Mr. Mason, from the committee on
Foreign Relations, reported a resol u
t tion authorizing the President to make
suitable acknowledgements to Admiral
Stuart, and other British officers at Ja
| arnica, for the kindness and relief they
j extended to the officers and crew of the
Susquehanna, when the latter arrived
at that station suffering from the ruva
! gesof the yellow fever,
j The resolution was unanimously adop
j ted.
Mr. Hale, from the committee on Na
| val Affairs, reported a resolution provi
i ding for the payment of half-pay to the
' J widow of the late Capt. Herndon, as a
' consideration for his heroic conduct on
j the event of the sinking of the steamer
j Central America. It was laid over un
der tile rule.
[ The special order, the Kansas bill,
was taken up. Mr. Stuart having the
; door proceeded to address the Senate on
j the general question making many
facetious hits.
HOUSE.
Mr. Nichols, from the Printing Com
linittee, reported a resolution to print
! 20,000 copies of the mechanical part of
I the Patent Office report of 1857, or one
third less than formerly. He remarked
i that a general distribution could not I
;be effected unless the system was ear-1
|rbd to excess. The resolution wasl'
j adopted. '
| Mr. English from the Post-office Com
mittee, reported a joint resolution in
effect that the Postmaster General and
the Secretary of the Treasury make
such arrangements for the accommoda
tion of the Post-office. Custom House
and Court of Philadelphia as will best
conduce to the public service. It pro
hibits any increase.
Mr. Florence said the Philadelphia
! delegation had consulted with the Post
oflice committee and had come to the
conclusion that this was the most feasi
, ble plan to relieve the subject of diffi
culty. The resolution was then passed.
Among the bills reported to-day from
1 the Committee for the District of Co
lumbia were those from the Senate, in
• corporating the Benevolent Christian
Association of the City of Washington,
j- and to incorporate the Gonzaga College
of the District of Columbia, for the pur
poses of Charity and Education.
The House resumed the consideration
> of the Kansas report, when.
Mr. Howard, a member of the Com
mittee of Conference, stated his reasons
why he dissented fiom the report; the
leading one of which was there is pro
posed one set of conditions for a slave
9 State and another for a free State; and
, he predicted that if this bill should
pass Congress, the people of the North
will rise up in judgment against it, an
5 the people of Kansas will reject the
i proposition.
Jlr. Davis, of Maryland, opposed the
bill.
Mr. Stephens replied.
Mr. Keitt made a speech in favor of
the bill, ane Mr. Bingham in opposi
tion to it.

A Goon Idea.—ln the U. S. Senate
' theie has been introduced a bill for a
J telegraph line, to be extended immedi
! at «;y tothe Pacific previous a proposition
} being to extend it only to Utah. The
sooner a telegraphic communication is
s made between the Atlantic and Pacific
sections of this country the better. The
telegraph recommends itself by its im
mediate practicability, and by its great
er utility over any other means of com
] munication- It must precede the rail
, road a very long time. By a judicious
’ system of stockades along the line, the
whole extent of it would be protected
, and the stockades themselves would be
. come points of settlement along the
1 route, which would ultimately people
the country through which a railroad is
. to travel,and furnish the business which
. a railroad is to keep it in operation
From the western holders of Missouri to
1 San Francisco is about I.BUO miles, but
I probably not more than 1,200 miles
, would require to be protected against
Indians. Twenty men at intervals of
• twenty miles, would make the whole
, number of men necessary to give pro
, tection to the entire overland route to
California, and incidentally to the tele
' graph line, amount toonly 1.200 men.
these men could also be employed in
o c * rr y ,n 8 an express mail from one
I st ° ck "le to another, which would also
- | establish the swiftest overland mail
.t j which could be devised.
A SOXti TO MAY.
BY J. B. lIAYNE.
CM Winter’s gone—and woodlands round,
Their blossom tresses fling ;
Ami voi es sweet in music’s sound,
Proclaim a joyous spring.
Rich horaid bore a wreath of green,
Then faded fast away,
But dearest, brightest that has been,
Is that ol ear y May !
Then strike the Harp-lot gentle soug,
in air. numbers p ay,
A floral theme, and loud and long,
We’ll chorus still to May !
Awake the lute—awhile farewell,
To sadness and to wo ;
We’ll wander in the flow’ry dell,
\ v here sparkling waters flow.
Strange accents whisper in the gale.
Hark liark ! the zephyrs lay.
Be fairest now, thou changing vale,
For O ’tis early May !
Then strike the Harp, Jfcc.
Our skies are bright—the storms are gone,
Our hearts arc sad no more :
As gayly by the lake we throng,
To tell some legion o'er.
And maidens fair, like flow’rs that lire,
But for a season gay,
The richest smiles they ever give,
Are those in early May !
Then strike the Harp, &c.
When hopes are bright and young hearts
breathe
The dreams of purpose high ;
’Tis when the flow’ring streamers wreathe
Their ensigns in the sky.
n cheer to life, 'tis natures boon,
Each season hath its day,
Os toil and rest, of night and noon,
But now, ’tis blushing May !
Then strike the Harp, &c.
We’ll pluck the rose and lilly white,
The wild and sweet jessamine,
And to the May queen of the night
A chaplet crown entwine.
Then strike the Harp let gentle song,
In airy numbers play.
A floral theme, and loud and long,
We’ll chorus still tc May !
Then strike the Harp, &c.

Washington, Ai>ril 30 The Senate i
i to-day receded from its amendments and
j passed the deficiency bill. The Mexi
' can protectorate resolution, introduced
some time since bv Gen. Houston, of
Texas, was discussed. The Senate then
resumed the consideration of the Kan
sas Conference bill, and passed it by a
vote of thirty-one to twenty-two.
In the House, the day was occupied
in discussing the Kansas question.—
There was occasionally considerable ex
citement manifested, but no personal
collision occurred. The conference bill
was passed by a voteof one hundred and
twelve to one hundred and three. When
its passage was announced, some ap
plause and some hissing followed, hut
these demonstrations were promptly
checked by Mr. Speaker Orr.

known to all who use it. We never have known
a medicine of any kind to perform such a-tonish
ing cures as has been by the INVIGORATOR. It
seems to strengthen and invigorate the whole j
body, Increasing the vital energy, and giving a
ilow of health to many whose ills were consid
ered incurable. We can recommend it know
iugly as a family medicine, for it has been our
best friend iu many an hour of sickness. We
wish all to try this remedy and satisfy them

fig” Dr. Sanford’s luvigora
tor—The n ost skeptical people, can be con
vinced by trial that all the family medicines are
not humbug, and that among the thousand of
butterfly life there arc a few of gre.it merit and
undoubted worth. Os these, Dr. SANFORD’S
INVIGORATOR or LIVER REMEDY stands first
and foremost among tlie remedies of the day
that can be relied on as a medicine that is all it
is recommended by its proprietors. It adver
tises itself on every trial, for there are none who
use it i ut toll their friends to do so, and so it
goes from mouth to mouth till all the people of
the Union have learned the good ts this truly
valuable medicine. It is recommended with tes
j timonials to prove its virtue lor the cure of liver
i complaints of every kind, from tho worst Dys
j pepsia to a common Headache, and is particular
! ly adapted to Jaundice, Deranged Stomach, Bow
el Complaints, and Diseases cf Chi Id rea
One or two doses are said to cure a Cold with
scarce a failure. It is worth a trial for this
alone. It is particularly adapted to tfie use of
ladies of sedentary habits. Some ladie3 of the
' j highest standing in society have given their cer
| tificutes of its efficacy, and we say to all who are
ailing, try one bottle, and you will never be
without it. —Bloomfield Dress. ap26-in
