PROCEEDINGS OF CONGRESS. Both Republicans and Democrats Incline) to Criticise the President. The main features of the congres sional proceedings on Wednesday were the speeches of Mills in the sen ate and Grow in' the house. Botl were devoted to criticisms of the pres ident. Mr. Mills has long been looked up on as the special champion of the pres ident, and his remarks were in the nature of a surprise. He said he hac the highest personal regard for Presi dent Cleveland, and regretted verj much to be compelled to disagree wit! him. He did uot thiuk, however that Mr. Cleveland was right on th< bond questiou. All the traditions anc precedents of the Democratic party an opposed to the issuing of bonds. Th< issuing of money and the fixing of its value, is a sovereign prerogative. Th< Republicans had turned this preroga tive over to the uational banking cor poratious, he said, and be traced th< expansion aud contraction of th< currency from time to time to shov how the power had been used t< the detriment of the best interests o the people. Bond issues were solelj for the benefit of the national banks If Mr. Carlisle bad coined and pait out as he had a right to do, the silvei in the treasury, there would neve have been any need for a bond issue The president's course remiuded bin of the doctrine of Jay Cooke, wh< used to hold that "a natioual deb was a national blessing." Grow's criticism was on a differ en line. He attacked the president fo writing letters to congressmen au< senators for the purpose of iulluencinj legislation. All of the recent example were cited, and Mr. Grow denounce* the practice as an eucroachment on leg islative prerogatives. The fact that tb president had secured the support c certain congressmen by iudemnifyinj them against the certain wrath of thei constituents with fat appointments was also promineutly brought out.

The Negro was running from the constable at the time. The constable was before Judge Earle last week on a writ of habeas corpus ; hut 1 his honor denied buil. The constable s then requested that he be removed to ' the penitentiary so as to he out of s danger of lynching, in which he seemed to be in fear. He was put in the penitentiary on Thursday. The Greenville papers say that there would have 0 been no danger of lynching had the constable remained in Greenville. ^ More FertUlzers, More Cotton. t News and Courier, Friday : Here is a straw : For the first nine days of last j January the receipts from the privilege tax were $680.50, while this year the ^ receipts for the same period amount to $3,470.97. This shows that six times t as much fertilizer as last year has to be stamped, and the reasonable assumptiou is that this remarkable increase in the purchase of tax tags means that t more cotton will be planted. The good prices of last year have had the 1 effect, it would appear, of inviting lar_ iro?? DAttAn OAfAilOrp illlfl llPHVipr 11SI* of [ - 1, ? , fertilizers.

January 15 5 w & f 2t THE ELECTRO POISE. THE undersigned has been appointed sole agent for the sale of the ELECTROPOISE in York county, and will be pleased to confer with any one who may desire information with regard to it. To those who are unacquainted with the merits of this great curative agent. I beg to present the following brief outline of what it is and what it does : "Its application, under proper conditions polarizes the body. This polarity puts every part of the body which tiie air reaches, in condition to rapidly absorb oxygen from the air. The oxygen, thus . taken up by the superficial capillaries, is \ carried into the general circulation and oxidizes the blood, thus burning out all manner of poisonous impurities, destroying bacteria and preventing their further propagation. This purified blood passes into all the functionary organs, stimulating them to healthy action and enabling them to do the very best work of which they are capable. The result is the breaking down and absorption or expulsion, through the natural channels, of the diseased tissues, and the building up of healthy tissues in their stead. This is all that any system of medication can do. This the Electropoise does without caus- # ing great and positive injury to one organ ^ in order to cure or benefit another, which is almost universally me case m an umui systems for treatment of disease."

No individual or institution can contain more appreciation of public favors than TifE BAZAAR, and nobody under the sun can give you more style, quality OR VALUE for the dollar.
