Washington, August 9.—On motion of Mr. ConkUng the Senate proceeded to consider and act upon such bills on the calender as no objection was made to, and the following bills were disposed of. House bill to amend section 3,291 of the Kevlsed Statutes, In relation to homestead entries—amended and passed. House bill for the relief of John R. Har rington (an inventor)—passed. Mr. Windom, from the Conference Com mittee on the Legislative Appropriation bill, submitted a report that the commit tee had beeu unable to agree. The Chair reappointed as members of the committee Messrs. Windom, Allison and Bayard. Mr. Patterson, of South Carolina, then resumed the ltoor aud concluded his speech on the Hamburg riot. At the conclusion of Mr. Patterson’s re marks, Mr. Wallace was recognized as en titled to the floor on the [lending resolu tion, but yielded to Mr. Sargent for a mo tion to make the Hayue treaty bill the special order for Friday at I I’. M. The motion was not agreed to. The Chair appointed Jones of Nevada, Dawes and Lloyd members of the confer ence committee on the bill to allow the Pacific Mall steamships to use their own steamships. Mr. Wallace said if the Hamburg pris oners were guilty, ho would rejoice to hear they were punished. Their own vindica tion rested with themselves, but he said it was a singular fact that those things never enlisted the attention of the Repub lican party except just on the eve of an election. The Democrats had carried the State of Alabama by 40,000 majority and three fifths of the Legislature—(Mr. Spencer interrupting, said that the strong Repub lican counties of Green, Sumter and Ma rengo, which had always gone Republican had gone Democratic. This was due to intimidation. Mr. Wallace resumed his remarks. He claimed that the educational and indus trial statistics did not bear out the asser tion made of the effects of the illigal over riding of the colored people. Referring to the murders in Pennsylvania, he said the crimes of the Molly Maguires were a foul blot upon his State. He confessed it with shame but the peo pie were not as his colleague had assert ed all Democrats. The crimes were insti tuted by bad men . from other countries who came among us. Senate at 5 o’clock adjourned. HOUSE. On motion of Mr. Waddell, of North Carolina, the House took up and passed the Senate bill to authorize the Pacific Mail Steamship Cos., to carry’ the mails in their new iron steamships. Mr. Bagley, of Illinois, from Committee on Pensions, supported the bill granting a pension of S3O per month to Mrs. Alice Gibson Yates, widow of Capt. Yates, who was killed in the recent battle on Little Big Horn—passed. Mr. Lynde, of Wisconsin, from the Com mittee on the Judiciary, submitted a re port in the ease of the charges against Representatives King and Schumacher in relation to the Pacific Mail subsidy, and Mr. Lord presented a minority report. Ordered printed. Mr. Springer, of Illinois, from the Com mittee on Foreign Affairs, asked leave to submit the report in the case of the Vene zuelan claims. Mr. Hale made the point of order that twice forty-eight hour’s notice required by Monday rules had not been given to amend the report. Mr. Banks, of Massachusetts, objected te the report at this time, os he wanted to present his views, and other gentlemen -wanted to present theirs. Mr. Vance, of Ohio from the commit tee on printiug reported a Senate resolu tion to print 4,000 copies of the report of the special committee on Mississippi af fairs, with an amendment to print 1,500 copies for the use of the Senate and 3,500 copies for the use of the House. The House after long discussion, with outaction, Mr. liandall, of Pennsylvania, submitted a report of the Conference Com mittee on the legislative Appropriation Bill. He said that after prolonged con ferences, and taking up the bill paragraph by paragraph, the committee had been en abled to reach a conclusion upon all the questions except two. Mr. Lord, of New York, offered a reso lution directing the House to recede from their disagreement on the two points pre sented by Mr. Randall, which was adopt ed by a vote of 109 to 50, and the old con ferees—Messrs. liandall, Morrison and Kasson were re-appointed. Randall offered a resolution reciting that Hallett Killbouru had brought suit against the Speaker and a committee of the House for damages for false impris onment. and directing the parties sued to consult with the Judicial Committee in relation to the suit, and authorizing said committee to employ counsel to defend the snit. House then at 4:45 P. iu, adjourned. Iteport of Commissioner Janes. Atlanta, August B.—The report of tho. Georgia State Commissioner of Agriculture of the condition of crops in that State for July shows the aver age condition of corn to be 109, which is 23per cent, better than at this time last year; cotton is 104, also 23 per cent, better than last year; rice 97; sugarcane 103; field peas 192; ground peas 102; sweet potatoes 106; sor ghum 102, and pastures 102. The yield of melons, compared to last year, in average is reported 91; Irish potatoes 99; millet 102; corn forage 102, and hay 102. Crops in bottom lands have been injured by overflow In tnany counties, and some rust is reported in cotton. VOL. 2. WASHINGTON NEWS. Washington, August 9 The Commit tee of Conference on the Legislative, Ex ecutive and Judicial Appropriation bill reached an agreement last evening, which doubtless assures the final passage of the bill by both Houses to-morrow. It is believed that an agreement con corning the Indian Appropriation bill will now be arrived at very promptly. The House will probably recede from its pro position for a transfor of the Indian Bu reau to tho War Department, and add the $978,000 which was omitted in oonsequonoe of the proposed change. On ordering the question on the resolution, tho yeas and nays were demanded and resulted—yeas 104, nays 82. The resolution was then adoptod. Mr. Oraunso, of Nebraska, from the Committee on Public Lands, reported a bill appropriating $7,500 to enable the Secretary of State to publish a history of surveys and scientific investigations in the United States during the present cen tury. The House then resumed the considera tion of the unfinished business of yester day which was the motion of Mr. Hale to reconsider the vote whereby tho Presi dent’s message on the sundry civil bill was referred to the committee on appro tions. Advicos from Rockbridgo, Alum Springs, Va., says: Speaker Kerr has been better for several days than he wns last woek but is not able yet to sit up. war to The iiilt. St.M lIAI. ( KOOK OX THE H til PATH THE ABMY PUT IN FIGHTING TBIM. Chicago, August 9 Gen. Crook reports under data of tho 4th, that Col. Merritt joinod them with five companies of caval ry, and that he is ready for aggrosstve movement. The Indians have moved from Big Horn mountain in the direction of the Rosebud mountain; and that on the sth he would leave the wagon train and move with 2,000 men down the river in tho di rection the Indians are supposed to ;have gone or intend going. He will lie absent from tho train 15 days. Tho Indians appear to have cut off his communication with Gen. Terry. The pack train, consisting of 100 mules, will be loaded with 50,000 rounds of am munition, 2,500 rations and a slight allow ance of bedding for the infantry. No for age is taken—the horses subsisting entire ly upon grass. The allowance of rations to last twelve days is cut down to bacon, hardtack and coffee. Everything includ ing provisions will be conveyed on mules, FUIIF.IGX INTELLIGENCE. London, August B.—The Porta has diplomatically hinted abroad that it is willing to make peace if Bervia and Montenegro jointly ask for it, and will allow Turks to garrison certain places in Servia. It is reported that in consequence of the defeat at Gargusovatz, Prince Milan has asked for the mediation of tho European powers. The Paris Patrie’s reports say that the disaster to the Servians was com plete. General Lesgasnen was rout ed and has been forced to abandon Saitschar. Osman Pasha is march ing to Chupria, from which point the road is open to Belgrade. General Fadyeff is to replace General Tchernayeff. Russian volunteers are arriving to rescue Servia. The Paris Universe states that a meeting of the diplomatic corps was held on Sunday in Belograde. It was resolved that Russian and Eng lish delegates be sent to Prince Mi lan to advise him to accept an armis tice with the object of permitting Eu ropean mediation. A Vienna dispatch to the Times states that Austria in reply to Turk ish protest against closing the har bor Kick, declares the protest can’t be accepted and she will enter into no diseussioTi on the subject. She threatens, ifJTurkey raises the ques tion, to make’ the measure closing the port permanent. Belgrade, August B.—M. Ristics, Prime Minister returned here last night. The police have given in structions for the accommodation of ICO Russiau surgeons and officers. The Tagblatt says Turkey will ad mit the intervention of powers in case of Montenegro, but will refuse la that of Servia. After occupying Belgrade, Turkey will order the Skuptchina to elect anew Prince. GREENBACK MEN IN COUNCIL. THEV PROPOSE AN INDEPENDENT CANDI DATE. New Haven, Conn., August 9.—An ad journed meeting of prominent Greenback men from various sections of the State was held here this evening. The following resolutions were unani mously adopted; Whereas, both of the old parties have shown themselves determined to destroy the greenbacks—the people’s money—the monstrous National Bank system by which our Government delegates to a class, its great, constitutional preroga tive of furnishing national currency; and whereas this can only result in a still fur ther robbing of tho debtor class, pauper izing labor, and entailing great and need less suffering upon the masses; Therefore, Resolved, That no true cur rency reformer can, eonsistenly vote for either nominees for President, and that a State Convention be called to meet at New Haven on September 12th, 1876, for the purpose of nominating Presi dential electors and Congressional and State officers on an Independent ticket.

We now hear of anew course of treatment practiced in Milan, Italy, wherein the patient is subjected to compressed air, chemically purified and maintained at a uniform temper ature, is forced by steam power and kept at a pressure somewhat above that of the open atmosphere. Dr. Carlo Forlanini is the discoverer and advocate of this treatment, and his explanation of the theory may be summarized as follows: By increas ing the pressure, the air is forced into the minutest passages of the lungs, and a much greater oxygena tion of the blood is insured; and obstructions of the lung passages, which occur in many diseases, are removed sooner or later. And if the muscles which expand the oiliest are weakened, the higher tension of the air assists their action ; and it remedies deficient respiration, what ever may be the cause thereof. The doctor asserts that the blood dis eases, such as scrofula, can be cured by this treatment, the oxygenation being so complete as to remove ull foreign matter from the blood. The institution at Milan is stated to be elaborately arranged and fur nished with every means of ascer taining the nature and extent of the disease, and for administering the air at the proper pressure for each case. If we hear shortly of any great number of cures of pulmonary complaints to this establishment, we must add another function at the list of the capabilities of the steam engine—that of converting, not only heat into pressure, but also pres sure into health .—American Sanita rian. ♦ A Raid on the Indians.

SMITH’S ADMINISTRATION. From tho Augusta Constitutionalist.] Tho Atlanta correspondence which wo publish to-day in another column furnishes us with a full and satisfac tory explanation of the omission of tho recent Democratic State Conven tion to endorse the adminstration of Governor Smith. From a personal attendance upon the morning ses sion of tho Convention wo arc able to verify our correspondent’s state ment that at the reference by Gen. Colquitt, when accepting the nomi nation, to Gov. Smith’s able and ad mirable administration, the Conven tion testified its heartiest approba tion, und we were somewhat, at a loss therefore to perceive no mention of a formal resolution of approval iu the printed proceedings of the afternoon and evening sessions. It now ap pears, however, that the report of the committee on business was not acted on until at night, and that im mediately upon the adoption of the platform, a heated debate arose upon the Constitutional Convention ques tion which oonsumed so much time and developed such acrimony that an adjournment sine die was carried before tho Convention had fully com pleted its business. Several matters were loft unattended to, and in par ticular the pending resolutions ap probatory of Gov. Smith’s ad ministration were not formally acted on. In substance the Convention un mistakably manifested its approval of the spirit of tho resolution men tioned by our correspondent, name ly, “Resolved, that the Democracy of Georgia endorse the administra tion of Governor James M. Smith as oue which has eminently conduced t£> the honor, the safety, the prosper ity, aud the welfare of this State;” and while it would have been more in accordance with usage for the Convention to have fully completed its business in a formal and regular manner, in this respect as in sever al other particulars, wo attach no real importance to its hurried ad journment, late at night, after three long sessions in one day, aud with the purpose of preventing what bore some signs of rising discord on the Constitutional Convention question. The warm and instant plaudits of the Convention at the reference to Gov. Smith’s administration suffi ciently evince the sense of that body, and show that in this respect, as in all others, it was truly a representa tive assemblage of the Democratic party of Georgia, aud testified in its own loud and prolonged applause t.ho all but unanimous sontiment of the people of this State. Gov. Smith has made emphatically a good Governor of Georgia. He re ceived the administrative power at a time when the mire aud filth of un clean and alien hands were still upon our executive escutcheon, and he will transmit that shield to his suc cessor cleansed of every spot, and resplendent in all its pristine lustre, lie was given a supervisory control of tho Htato finances when fraud, chicano and rapacity had all but withered up that tender plant, the public credit, and now, thanks to ex ertions at once skillful and unwea ried, that plant is robust and hardy as tho oak. He came to the helm when bad blood existed between the races, and now all classes of our population live in harmony, and Georgia is a land of peace and law. If the tree is to be judged by its fruits, the administration of James M. Smith has been oue which has eminently conduced to the honor, the safety, the prosperity and the welfare of Georgia; it has been to the credit of the man, and to the ad vantage of the State; and such we believe the verdict thereupon of the people. A Hattie Picture. The latest method of “firing the Northern heart” that has yet been attempted is that of reproducing pic tures of the battles fought fifteen years ago. The New York Graphic of last Saturday contains a picture of the battle of South Mountain, drawn from the original tin soldiers and wooden horses in possession of the artist. It is difficult to conceive of anything more detestable in its purpose than this picture, or more ludicrously failing iu that pur pose in execution. The “Northern heart” that will bo "fired” by that picture must be of more inflamma ble material than punk or tinder. It represents a steep hillside on the slope of which, drawn up in line of battle, is a Confederate army of fifty-nine men by actual count. Iu their rear is a reserve force of forty four rebels of the Twenty-third North Carolina, A considerable number of the rebels strew the fields, aud a few dastards already turn to flee. In the foreground eighty-nine Union sol diers are drawn up behind a stone fence firing at the enemy. Notwith standing the protection of the stone fence a decorous number of gallant Union soldiers are falling in attitudes of great acrobatic skill. Calmly on his steed sits Lieut. Coi. Rutherford B. Hayes, pointing with his hand at nothing particular, and with his back turned toward the battle. This ex citing battle picture is entitled “Lieutenant Colonel Rutherford B. Hayes, loading his regiment in tho charge of the 12th Ohio volunteers against the 23d North Carolina vol unteers.” The obvious objection to this title is that the regiment is not charging, but is safe behind a stone wall, fighting a smaller number of meu in the open field; and Col. Ruth erford B. Hayes, so far from leading the charge, is sitting in tlj,e rear on horseback. Reinforcements to the Federate, arriving from several sources, make their army outnumber ten to ono the slender rebel line; so on the whole, Col. Hayes does not show up in very heroic colors. The standard bearer of his regiment stands on top of the stone fence, and does show some heroism. But no mention is made of him. The failure of this thing is pitiable, but the intent with which it was published is apparent. We dare say that Gov. Hayes himself felt some what ashamed when he saw that work of art. Perhaps the loss said about Hayes as a soldier the better. He did his duty probably in a small way sufficiently well, but certainly not with distinction. If this picture is true it is the most withering satire on his military services that could have been devised. How very small it seems after Grant, Sherman, Sher idan, or even after the lamented Cus ter, that Grantism sent to disaster and death. It is impossible to convert Col. Hayes into a gallant soldier in this ex. post' facto way. He never made any reputation for himself during the war. Ho was unknown and ob scure. In the day of heroic deeds he was'never,heard of. He was a good, quiet regimental officer possibly, but thao wa3 the utmost that can be claimed for him. The attempt to convert him into a hero only makes him ridiculous.— Baltimore Gazettee. In Hallrimit Circle*, Philadelphia, August B.—Tho an nual meeting of tho stockholders of the Texas Pacific Railroad was held to-day. Thomas A. Scott was re elected President, Frank S. Bond and John C. Brown,lVioe Presidents, and George D. Krumbhaar, Treasurer. To the Farmer* of Georgia. Under this head a correspondent of the MiUedgeville Recorder gives some udvice to planters which we commend to their consideration : Raise the price of cotton. Stop burdening yourselves, and your widows and children if you die, by the endless “advancing” food, tools, horses and money to your laborers. Stop glutting the cotton market every fall by tho rush of laborer’s cotton before Christmast in competition with your own. Ten miserable years mistakes’ are gone and now tho time is como for new contracts of labor, or lease. Farmers the remedy is in your hand. We must change our system. No more “crop shares”—no more “fourths,” or “thirds,” or “halves.” Away with the “metayer” system of “shares.” It loads tho market with laborer’s cotton in conflict with your own, thus raining the price of both, and compelling you to keep under strain all next year to “advance” for the laborers to buy corn and every thing else for them. This keeps the laborers in a beggarly, dependent state, aud crushes the farmer. We ruin our own market, and farmer and laborer both live at the mercy of the merchant. Now is tho time to cure all this wise con tracts for the next yoar, or next four years and eleven months. Take rents iu “specific cotton and ootton-seed,” and Dyspecial contract compel food culture on balance of the lands. This is tho way to full corn-cribs, full smoko houses, inde pendent laborers and tenants, aud a high price for cotton. This is the road for a happy South! But be careful not to make “five year” leases; four years and eleven months will do. if you say “five years,” the tenant, or his creditor, and tho Shorlff, can sell out the lease, and put anew tenant on you, ugainst your will. Anew law got through the last Legislature silently op this point to your great danger. Better look out, or you will lose your rent, and lose your tenant. Five years is now “a term for years,” levyable by tho Sheriff for tenant’s debt; so do not say “live years” in your leases—say four years and eleven months. Lookahead. WIT ANIT HUMOR.

It is not often during these hard times that we ever hear of anything being given away, but in the present case we have an article thag will bear the closest scrutiny, and severest test in every sense of the word, and feel determined te place it before the public in such a manual: that there cannot be a * 'doubting Thomas." To all who may be affleted with any form of Ague, or chills and Fever, we make the proposi tion To all Persons To cure you with one bottle of Day's Ague Tonic. It never produces partial deaffie**, dimness of vision, buzzing or roaring in the head, or any of those unpleasant symptom* that follow the use of Quinine; it doe* not con tain arsenic, strych nine, or any other poison; it acts finely upon the liver aud bowels without tho use of nauseating pills; it can be given to those whose stomachs reject Quinine, and the cures are prompt, effect ual and permanent. Procure from any Druggist or Merchant, one bottle of Day's Ague Tonic, use it as directed, and If it fails, return the empty bottle, and the money will be refunded to all Who have Chills. This is surely a fair propesition, yet strange to say, none have been returned to us.
