Mr. KAURIS said bo did not know whot
course should be taken in regard to the mes
sage; ho thought it would be useless to refer
it to a committee, as it was a question for the

to bear from some one.

Mr. HARRIS moved to adjourn until
Monthly. * ^
Mr. CANDLER asked leave to introduce
bill.
The PRESIDENT decided the motion to
adjourn was in order and debatable.
Hr. CANDLER opposed and argued if the
Senate adjourned at all it should bo until
the 15th.
Mr. 1UGBEE said it had been the misfor
tune of the Legislature to have hod to adjourn
ftomtime to time, but now there was a pros
pect of their being: able to do something. A
bill had passed ona branch of C.-ugreaa, and
was likely to go through the other at a very
early day; but the necessity for adjournment
existed and he aaw no impropriety m adjourn
ing until Monday.
Mr. WOOTEN objected to adjournment
as a waste of money. The people were get
ting very sensitive on the subject of these fre
quent adjournments, as it affected their pock
ets. They bad been spending money since
January and had effected nothing. Legisla
tion was necessary, and he aaw no necessity
for adjournment, or if they dl<l »dj.
J.O.U be .Pie Ulfc.
Mr. CAMPBELL replied in an excellent
speech, arguing that tho constant adjourn
ments were the misfortune, not the mult of
the Ix-gislatare, saying that if those who ar-
gned for adjourning sine die could prove that,
by no adjourning, titles to property would bo
secured, then be might vote for it They were
responsible for their actions os individuals,
and as Car as his constituents were concerned,
they had never grumbled at the expense of
the Legislature, bn* had said to him go and
do what yon can.
Mr, HARRIS said he had listened long and
patiently to charges made upon the Legisla
ture of outrages upon the people of Georgia
by remaining here without legislating. He did
not wish to reflect upon others; they ]
act conscientiously before man and God.
did not wish to say that they had spoken for
buncombe, bat they should not say that they
alone were the guardians of the public inter
ests. A heavy and grave responsibility rested
upon tho Senators from the Eleventh and
Twenty-Fourth Districts. Thoy could have
K rented the unseating of the colored inem-
s, instead of which they favored, it and
passed that measure, and benco they were now
living under a Provisional Government These
were stubborn and uncontrovertible tacts. A
motion lias been made to adjourn till Monday ,
another to adjourn sine die; another to adjourn
until the Governor saw fit to call the Legisla
tore together. He (Mr. Harris) thought that
measures of economy dictated the first course.
They were fold to look at the tax payers. He
had no hesitation in saying that the two Sena
tors . ad cost the State $500,000 by tho conrs-
they had taken. Ho was willing to say they
tad done what they thought right, bat they
had acted from mistaken judgment
Mr. WOOTEN asked Mr. Harris if he could
give any valid reason for adjournment.
Mr. HARRIS i.iidj he v-mld. If Congress
did not act beforo its adjournment thc-n he
was in favor of .proceeding with legislation, bnt
he did aay that a little prudence and caution
were neoesaary. But if Congress adjourned
then ho wonld go on as if no military authority
was paramount in the State. Some very im
portant committee* of investigation had been
appointed and they wonld bo ready to report,
in all probability, by Monday, and they could
then go on with legislation. As to bills, ho
waa in donbt, but whatever Congress did or
did not do his course was fixed. Tho Stato
government was accused of squandering
money. With all their extravagance, am
there was a great equality os to picking money,
the present administration had spent over
SI,000,000 less than the Government under
Jenkins in the tone length of time. He did
not aecnse the former administration of squan
dering money, bnt simply mentioned this os
an answer to the charge that the present ad
ministration had been spending money reck-
leftsly.
Mr. WOOTEN inquired if tho Senator's
eonktituents were satisfied with the course of
the Legislature.
Mr. HARRIS said he did not know, he had
not consulted them. His motives were con
scientious, and he was ready to render his ac
count to them. As to adjournment he was
willing to set here, but in their present con
dition lie thought it advisable to pause and see
what Congress would do, and then they could
be aware as to what they could or could not
do.
Mr. SPEER offered an amendment that
members should not be entitled to per diem
during recess.
The PRESIDENT decided tho amendment
not in order.
Mr. SMITH of the 7th thought this a time
to act with deliberation, discretion and pru
deuce. He wonld like to go to work to
morrow if their work could be permanent and
lasting, but ha thought it would be prudent
to wait until Monday. As to this hue and
ciy of stealing from the Treasury, it was an
old affair; they had heard of it for yean end
years, administration after administration. If
the gentlemen from the 11th and 34th were
sincere in their arguments for economy, let
them show their frith by their works and re
fuse the per diem and mileage. Jle (the
speaker) lid taken it, although h. did not ba-

might bo doubted beforehand whether such
assemblies as these are competent to settle
the amusement question. The worthy men
who composed them are to be credited not
only with good intentions, but with great
learning and high character; but most of them
have long ago put away childish {things, and
some have even forgotten that tncy ever had
any childish things to pnt away. The train
ing through which they have pMBedTfesd the
course of life which they have felt it their duty
to follow while in the ministry, have not been
such as to give them any practical knowledge
of the subject of amusements. Tim. majority
of them suppose that the practice ofajjjaost
every kind of pastime is inconsistent with
their profession, and it is natural enough that
what they themselves abjure they should be
slow to allow to others.
I confess that the picture of these venerable
bishops and doctors and elders, with their sil
very hair and their snowy neckcloths, sitting
in solemn convocation to decide what pastimes
are good for young folks and what are evil,
wears to my eye a shade of comicality. No
one can doubt that these exodlent men are
thoroughly qualified to disouss tho philoso
phical principles underlying the whole subject
of amusement; to show what uses sport and
recreation are designed to subserve in the di
vine economy, and what general rules should,
therefore, govern us in our practice of .them.
| Bnt this, wnfehflfey are perfectly competent to
do, and which is the very thing that most of all
needs doing, is precisely the thing which they
have left undone; and the thing for which they
had no qualificationsjwhatever, namely the de-

“Did jroa ever bear of Tom Hawkins?" said

V Railroad Novelty—-Taltlng Water
Wbllr Running with Lightning
Speed,
A novel method of supplying locomotives
with water while in motion, which has been
for some time in use in England, is abont to
be introduced in this country. It has already
been experimented on by the Hadoon River
Railroad Company, and with the greatest sne-
Rcccntiy, st Montrose station, near 1‘cck-
skiU, there was constructed in the center of
tho track a trough 1,200 feet in length, 15
inches in depth, and 18 inches wide. This
was lined with sheet-iron heavily painted.
The trough is perfectly straight, will hold
10,000 gallons of water, and is fe4 by a con,
pie of springs to the north and east e fit
Abont the same time that the construction
of the trough was commenced, locomotive
No. 43 was token to the repair shop. Here,
in a quiet manner, skilful workmen in a short
time fitted her ont with ingeniously-construct
ed machinery connected with her tsadsr to
draw the water from the trough. From the
man-hole in the tender, down through the
latter to a position inside of the bind trucks,
runs an ingeniously-formed pipe. The pipe
curls as it leaves the man-holo, and after
forming a half circle is fitted with a nozzle at
its end, which always points the way the en
gine is going. An iron bar is fastened to the
nozzle, which connects with Another bar from
a point near the fireman’s box. When the lo
comotive approaches the trough, tho nozzle
can be dropped instantaneously into the water

hour. The nozzle sinks only. to the depth of
two inches into the trough, yet, when the
1,200 feet are passed over, 1,034 gall ns of
water will have been drawn into the tender.
The first experiments in taking water by
this new method, were made a few days ago.
The locomotive dashed over the rails at the
rate of thirty-five miles an hour. As the noz
zie struck the water the fluid rushed into the
tender with the roar of a young Niagara, and
when the trough was left behind, the tender
was fulL The experiment was a great success
and gave complete satisfaction to the officers

cision with regard to specific amnsejijeWs, is
the only thing they have tried to do. Men,
who never in their lives saw a figure danced,
and who do not know spades from clubs, have
declaimed from their pulpits, and have voted
in the assembles, against cards and dancing.
Here is one of the deliverances of these relig
ious bodies:
‘Resolved, That the fashionable amusement
of promiscuous dancing is entirely nnscrip-
tural, and eminently and exclusively that of
the world which lieth in wickedness, and so
wholly inconsistent with the spirit of Christ
and with the propriety of Christian deport
ment and that parity of heart which bj
lowers are bound to maintain, as to rei
not only improper and injurious for professing
Christians either to partake in it or to qualify
their children for it by teaching them the art,
bnt also to call for the faithful and judicious
exercise of discipline on the part of church
sessions when any one of the members of the
churches have been guilty.” —.. .
Air. Vincent tells of “an amiable and most
excellent clergyman who happened to be pre
sent one evening when some young ladies went
through a quadrille. He looked o-^-with^^m
apparent pleasure. The next mc^S "
rallied by some of his townsm- °u
countenanced dancing by his preset
ho roundly denied the charge, and asserted
that no dancing had taken place, but only, as
he expressed it, a most beautiful exercise.”
Very hkely this clergyman voted for that reso
lution.
Red eland—A General Indlnw War Appro*
livntlcd o
From the Washington Chronicle, 4th.]
It is feared in official quarters that the Indi
ans in the northwestern and southern reserva
tions are intent on war. Several ■■■■J
and letters from General Sheridan have been
received at the War Department, giving a
gloomy account of affairs in those reserva
tions. From these dispatches it seems that the
Indians are on the war path, seven different
bands, fully armed and equipped, having
passed over the Pacific railroad, just below
Fort Saunders, on Monday last, for the osten
sible purpose of going down to hunt for the
elk; bat neither Generals Sherman fir Sheri
dan believe that this is their mission. They
are already off their reservations, and evi

Sheridan in his reports to General Sher

large quantities of stolen property, which they
had accumulated from the raids they had

inker, 1 SG'J.
Iu the trial of the celebrated Stephens case,
before the United States District Court, in At
lanta, April 2d, 1870, Mr. Akerman argued
that there was no civil law in Georgia, under
the operations of the Act of December, 1869,
until the Stato should be admitted by Con
gressional action. Stephens waa arrested by
order of Major General Teny, the District
Commander. Mr. Lochrane, counsel for the
defendant, said:
He desired to facilitate mailers, be did not
wish to traverse a troth, bnt the Respondent
had stated that, murder had been committed,
without saying when, where, or by whom.
His client desired the fullest investigation, bnt
he did not see how the esse could proceed un
less that information was given; it was net
sary, if only to give the .Court jurisdiction.
The Court said that if the return of the Re
spondent was not sstisfeetevy, he (Mr. Loch-
rune) could make objection to it.
Mr. Lochrane said if the gentleman on the
other side insisted, they would traverse the
troth of the return, but that it was a bard
matter when there was no specific crime men-
been proposed that Slidell should insult
Douglas in the drinking saloon of the Senate,
and, if he resented it, shoot him down. I
wrote to Dongles atonoe, but knowing his
habits so well, of leaving letters unopened for
days and weeks together, I sent the letter to a
friend and commanded him to make Douglas
open it and peruse it, that he might be pre
pared. And in that letter I said: ‘If you are
unshed to the walk telegraph for Tom
Hawkins, of Louisville.'
“Well, I came on-from the Sontli soon after
that, and went up with George Pugh to see
Douglas. There we found nobody to pay
much attention to ns. Donglas seemed ab
sorbed with something else, and looking ont
of his library, across the hall, I saw Roger A.
Pryor and Albert G. Brown, of Mississippi,
step into another room. I asked no questions,
bat came away, and soon afterward started for
New York. When I got to the Relay House
there was abont three minutes delay, as the
Western train had joat come in, and I saw get
out of it and step toward the Washington
train—who but Tom Hawkins!
“Tom,” I sried, “what are yon doing here?"
“What are yon doing away from Washing

“Going to New York.”
“New York, what? Do yon get me here
and then run oft’ to New York? Doughs has

Government he had a right to state tho cause.
If he was not the Government, then he had no

Mr. Akerman said yes he meant all that.
General Terry was not here to execute old

State Government exists. If that is so, then
there could be no State law. There were cer

were not criminal previously. There was a
new stato of society, and it required new
laws. Gen. Meade had made a law, and had

mHE symptoms of liver
A few* afternoons since, as one Of the late
graduates of a local medical college was re
turning to his office from a stroll about town,
ho was surprised and delighted to discover
what lie conceived to be a young lady patient
awaiting him. In the short moment occu
pied in walking from the yard gate to the
office door his mind was active in making con
jectures as to the probablo character of her
malady and in recalling the contents of all the
medical books he had ever read. As he ap
proached nearer and saw her elegant costume
and returned her stately and refined bow, he
was somewhat inspired with visions of Green
backs and cancelled debts.
“Well, my young lady,” the graduate said,
with all the dignity and consequence of an
old practitioner, “what can I do for you?”
“You can marry me," abruptly replied the
strange young lady, with her sweetest smile
and mo6t delightful inclination of the head.
‘Yon can have me for a wife."
The poor young doctor blushed, trembled,
jazed with wonder at her, when the young
adv, seeing that he needed to be reassured,
glided quickly to him, and resting her hand
upon his shoulder, whispered, “Do not be as
tonished. Oh! I have loved you so. I have
gazed at yon often, and my heart hjm said,
‘He ought to be my husband.’ ”
The victim tried io escape, but she gently
held him. In his desperation he at length
found tongue to say: “I am sorry, madam,
that I cannot gratify you. Iam a poor
j roung"—bnt he got no farther, for she sealed
lis lips with a kiss, and in tho gentle accents of
her gentlest manner said: “Oh! what if you
are poor, dearest? We shall still be so happy.
You can practice your profession, and I will
take in sewing, and will cook, and wash, and
iron, and make everything so comfortable! Oh!
do come on and marry me!” [Another kiss.]
The young doctor became almost annihilated,
bnt by a violent effort ho disentangled him
self and rushed wildly from the room, the
last he heard being that sweet love term
*deare8t.”
As he hastened along the street he cast re
peated and anxious glances behind him to see
if that marriageable young woman was in
pursuit. No* He blessed his stars that she
was not Bat after the lapse of an hoar or so,
he began to feel desirous of returning to his
office. It was growing dark. He at length
summoned np courage to approach his own
room. He cautiously peeped around the
fence and she was gone.
Since then his neighbors havo observed
that he always peeps tremblingly around the
fence when he approaches his office, and his
friends have noticed that he wears his coat
and hat even daring these hot days, os if to be
prepared to bolt at the shortest notice.
It is supposed that this yonng lady (like
many others credited with sound sense) is a
monomaniac on the subject of man iage. She
is good-looking, and was on the occasion
above mentioned handsomely dressed.
To effect a cure of her malady, of the char
acter of which he was so well convinced, would
have been a splendid opening: for the yonng
doctor, but he has expressed himself as averse
to making the attempt He is afraid that if
he were to succeed in this case, he would be
obliged to moke a specialty of such practice,
and that his nerves wonld sink under the trial.

of the phenomena of earthquakes is as yet

Another Thaddctis of Warsaw.
A polish Count, named Christianas Bena-

harness-maker’s shop in Galesburg, Illinois.
He was bom in Warsaw in 1833. In 1863 he

but escaped to this country, while his estates
were confiscated, and his mother died, his
father having previouly been killed in a skirm-

In his weary wanderings through this

est style commensurate with tho situa

could not obtain enough from him even to get

Some shocking details of the late fire at Pera
are published in a letter in the London Morn
ing Post, of June 15. Incidents of the most
painful description (the writer says) have not
been wanting. Whole families have been found,
the members locked in each others’ death em
brace. Some few have been removed from the
cellars of their houses still groaning in life, but
only to expire on exposure to the air. I hear
that the number of houses burnt down is
computed generally at 6,000. I understand
that the total amount falling due from
London insurance companies Ls esti
mated at somewhat over £100,000. On
the evening of the fire the Sultan
rode np from his palace to the scene of disas
ter, bnt his Majesty’s approach was cut off at
the Taxim by the showers of sparks and the
heat In the morning his Majesty in person
superintended the turning ont of the troops
from some large artillery barracks jnst beyond
tho Taxim, to make room for distressed fami
lies, and also ordered some 2,000 tents to be
immediately pitched in the parade grounds
adjoining. Hero are now located some thou
sands of burnt-out poor people, who receive
their daily rations of rice, bread, oil and meat
at Iii-«* Majesty's expense. The Saltan has
also issued strict orders to the imaums, or
priests of Mussulman quarters, to in no way
hinder the letting of houses to distressed
Christians.
From the New York Tribune. June 2Sth.)
The most graphic accounts of the great fire
at Constantinople fail to convey an idea of its
horrors and destructiveness. More than 7,-
000 houses were destroyed, and property to the
value of $40,000,000 was sacrificed. More
than 1,000 dead bodies have been recovered,
aud there* are still 1,400 missing persons unac
counted for. Seven lire companies, en
and men, perished iu the flames they en
ored to sundae. The horrible incidents are
too numerous to detail. Strangest of alLi*
the fact that the fire thus destructive raged but
a few hoars, and spread with such rapidity
that buildings were swept uway iu an instant,
and with an explosiou like that of a cannon.
Sach awfully destructive fires are, fortunately,
hardly possible in American cities, with their
broad avenues, brick buildings aud superior
fire engines. , .

Rook Oat for Lisp Dog-
Nearly three months ago a bright boy, ten
years of age, the eldest son of Mr. J. P. Dor-
emus, the Paterson photographer, petted a
little white lap-dog, which was following two
ladies in front of his father’s store, and ad
miringly stroked the animal on the back,
when the dog bit his hand. The wound was
dressed by a physician and healed nicely, but
from that time the child has been nervous,
and complained of shooting pains,
starting from his arm and going to
his head and along his spine, and
latterly through his whole person. He
went to school until Monday last, and could
not rest at school longer. On Monday night
he seemed to have spasms, but was better on
the day following, bnt on Wednesday night
grew fearfully agitated, and could not be con
trolled, and leaped from his father’s arms
several times and ran 'wildly abont the room.
He wanted to eat bnt conld not, and, although
burning with thirst, when water was brought
to him he shivered and repelled it, and could
not swallow, or if lie did, it seemed to be with
great effort, and with a jerk. He did not
sleep after Sunday night, and grew weaker
after every spasm; bit Ins lips badly, and failed
until 4 o’clock on Thursday afternoon, when
death came to his relief!—Netcarle, (X. J.)
