House the army appropriation bill
passed. It fixes the strength of the
army at 20,000 men, the number of
cavalry regiments at eight and of in
fantry at eighteen. It provides for
the reduction and organization of the
various staff departments, and for the
retiring and mustering out of officers
who are supernumerary or unfit for
service. It reduces the pay and
emoluments of officers, provides for
the management of the Indians by
the war department, and prohibits the
employment of troops for civil pur
poses unless specially authorized by
act of Congress.
The Senate ameudwents to the bill
for the repeal of the bankrupt low
L.. were concurred in, and the bill was
passed and goes to the President. It
will go into effect January 1, 1879,
and in all cases then pending will be
continued as if the bankrupt act had
not been repealed.
Mr. Waddell, from the postoffice
committee, reported favorably on a
bill for -a postal savings depositoiy,
and it was referred to the committee
of the whole. Also favorably on the
bill providing ocean mail steamships
between the United States and Brazil,
which was also referred to the com
wittee of the whole.
The House bill, as amended by the
Senate, allowing articles for art and
scientific societies to come in duty free
was passed, and goes to the President.
In the Senate, Mr. McPherson, of
New Jersey, submitted a resclution
declaring that it is unwise and inex
pedient for Congress, at the present
session, to change the existing rate of
tax on manufactured tobacco. He
asked for the present consideration
of the resolution, but objection was
made by Mr. Withers, of Virginia,
and it was laid over.
The Senate passed without amend
men the House bill for the retirement
of United States legal tender notes:
Be it enacted, &c., That from and
after the passage of this act it shall
not be lawful for the secretary of the
treasury, or other officers under him,
to cancel or retire any more of the
United States legal tender notes; and
when any of said notes may be rc
deemed' or received into the treasury
-from any law under any source what
ever, and* shall belong to the United
States, they shall not be retired, can
called or destroyed, but shall be re
issued and paid out again and kept in
circulation; provided that nothing
herein shall prohibit the~ cancellation
end destruction of mutilated notes,
and the issue of other notes of like
denomination in their stead, as now
provided by law. All acts and parts
of acts in conflict herewith are hereby
repealed.
The bill now goes to the President
for his signature.
* Mr. Hamlin, of Maine, from the
committee on foreign relations, re
ported a bill providing for the pay
ment of the award made by the fishery
*commission .at Halifax under the
-Treaty of Washington, and it was
o6aced on the calendar.
In the Democratic caucus to-night
a motion to concur in the Senate reso
lution to adjourn June 10th was de
feated.- A motion to amend by axing
June 20th was defeated by a com
bination of those who desire an
earlier adjournment and those who wish
to prolong the session. Finally the
whole matter was postponed to the
8th of June.
* The Senate committee on foreign
relations have agreed to report favor
abig-n the bill appropriating five and
a half millions in gold to pay the
fishery award to Great Britain. If,
after correspondence, his Excelleney
* deems it his duty to pay the amount
awarded to her British Majesty, he is
to do so without further commrunica
-tion with Congress.
The greenback representatives held
a caucus last night and resolved to re
-- sist adjournment until some action is
taken on the bills reported by the
committee on banking and currency.
It was decided to offer an amend
mnent'~to the sundry civil appropria
tiony bill forbidding the secretary of
the treasury selling any more bonds
for resumption purposes.

"No. 1."
What a good time a selfish man
would have if everybody else were
not selfish. If he could look out
for "No. 1" while everybody else
were consulting the general good.
If everybody else would plant lots
of corn and peas and grasses, and
raise all their bacon, while he could
plant all cotton, get a big price for
it, buy his provisions cheap-and
get rich. Ah, wouldn't it be nice.
And how nice it would be if he
could return his land to the Audit
or at $1.00 per acre, while his
neighbors return theirs at $8.00.
Then his taxes would be light.
But unfortunately for the selfish
man everybody else is in the same
fix. On this point there is perfect
unanimity without a particle of har
mony.. Everybody 's selfish, yet
everybody blames everybody else
for being so. Well, it is all right
to take care of No. 1, but you must
not do so at the expense of other
people.
The above is a very long text to
a very short sermon.
The County Auditor has begun
to make assessments. Now, don't
return your $10 land at $1 per
acre, expecting that others will re
turn theirs at full value. If you do
the Equalizing Board will raise it.
But the man who returns his pro
perty at very low figures will not
feel lonesome : he will have plenty
of company. If only a portion of
the people are allowed to make low
returns the burden would fall
heavily on the others ; if all make
low returns, what profit has any
body ? A certain amount of money
has got to be raised. If the assess
ment be low the rate of taxation
will be high, and vice versaz. All
who have property ought to put a
fair valuation on it; not as much
as he would ask for it if he were
going to sel.1 it, but what he con
siders its market value. If all do
this the burden falls equally on all.
And if all doin't do it the Equal
izing Board propose to do it for
them.
Spartanburg & Asheville Rail
Road..
1t is gratifying to know that this
road to which so large a portion of
the public is directed is rapidly ap
proaching completion. We learn
that in the course of a few days the
cars will be running to Pace's Gap,
and by July they will land the pas
senger in the charming little town
of Hendersonville, within a stone's
throw of Fiat Rock. From the sea
board to the very heart of the
mountains in less than twenty-four
hours, without any staging ! Think
of it. What a glorious consumm'a
tion ! Even now, with the little
staging from the p)oint already
reached to Hendersonvilie, it is the
route par excellence, and the travel
this summer will greatly exceed
that of the past season. President
Duncan has great reason to be
proud of the successful progress of
his road, which his untiring ener
gies and great practical abilities
have brought thus far. To Super
intendent Anderson much credit is
also due. Their ambition is to sur
mount the last obstacle and in as
speedy a time as possible, and when
the great difficulties already over
come are properly considered it ex
cites wonder and admiration that
so much has been done.
Another Attempt to Murder
Kaiser Wilhelm.
While the Emperor of Germany
was riding in his carriage in the
streets of Berlin, June 1st, he was
shot by a Dr. Nobelgen, a Socialist,
wit.h a double-barrel shot-gun. The
Emperor was seriously wounded
with buck shot oand small shot in
the arm and neck. The would-be
as,assin was captured, after having
attempted to commit suicide.

Two German war steamers came

fourhundred persons were drowned.
Stewart's Iomen's Hotel.
Before the death of A. T. Stew
art, the rich merchant of New York,
he began the erection of a fine
building in New York City. After
his death his widow and Judge
Hilton, his Executor, continued it.
It was known that the building was
intended for women; the impres
sion prevailed that Stewart. was
providing a home for poor women,
and many were the encomiums lav
ished upon the merchant prince for
his supposed charity. A month
ago the building was opened under
the name of the "Women's Hotel."
Very strict rules were made so as
to keep out improper characters.
The rate of board was $7.00 per
week. It was expected that there
would soon be five hundred or a
thousand boarders, but only fifty
came. The expense of running the
establishment was $1,000 per day
the income about $60. May 26th
the enterprise was abandoned as
impracticable, and the Hotel will
hereafter be opened to the general
public. The building itself cost
$3,700,000 ; $300,000 were spent in
oil paintings for it, and everything
else is on the grandest scale.
Judge Hilton says the Women's
Hotel failed because the women
didn't have opportunities enough
to see the.sterner sex.

The German Schuetzen Verein.of
Columbia, held its third annual
festival in'that city last week, last

Mrs. Alice Kirk, of Charleston,
was horribly burned the night of
the 2Sth ult., by the explosion of a
kerosene lamp. The morning of
the same day in the same city a
young man attempted to kindle a
fire in a stove by pouring kerosene
on the wood from a can. Tlie can
exploded, burning him so' severely
that he died in a few hours.
The Edgefield Democracy held
their County Convention on the 25th
instant, 156 delegates being present
from 32 clubs. Ex-Gov. Bonham
presided and harmony and good
will prevailed. A new constitution
was adopted for the county club,
and the primary election plan with
the plurality modification was adop~
ted. An election for six delegates
to the State Convention resulted as
follows: John C. Sheppard, 122
votes; M. W. Gary, 118; M. C.
Butler, 112; G. D. Tillmnan, 101;
Jno. R. Abney, 72 ; M. La..Bonk am,

W THOUr A PARALLEL-The demand for
Dr. J. Bradfield's Female Regulator is beyond
precedent in the. annals of' popular remedies.
Orders come in so thick and fast that the Pro
prietor has heretofore been unable to fill them
al. He is happy to state that arrangements
are now complete by which he is prepared to
manufactre Female Regulator on a scale
equal to the emergency, and the public may
feel assured that their wants may now.be
supplied. Physicians of high repute are usimg
this great remedy, in daily practice, all over
Georgia. Hereafter no woman need sug'er
from suppressed, suspended or irregular
menstruation. This valuable medicine is
prepared by Dr. J. Bradfield, Atlanta, Ga.,
and sold at $1.50 per bottle by respectable
druggists throughout America.

FOR THE HERALD.
Our Washington Letter.
WASIIINGTON, . C.,
May 29, 1878.
Hon. Clarkson W. Potter has just
written a letter of extraordinary inter
est. It is too long to be given here,
but I mention the main points made
in reference to the investigation and
events connected with it. Mr. Potter
places the responsibility for the refusal
to hear Mr. Stephens, of Georgia, who
wished to offer an amendment to the
investigation resolution on the shoul
ders of the Republicans, where it be
longs: he shows that the Hale amend
ment proposed an investigation into
alleged frauds which did not affect the
selection of a President, and was in
tended merely to protract the investi
gation. Referring to the expedient by
which the Presidential question was
passed upon by the Electoral Commis
sion, he says
"The President's title rests upon
that. If, now, it should appear that
there was fraud, which palpably affect
ed the electoral vote, and which the
Commission did not notice, and if a
legal remedy exists for correcting the
error, you cannot believe that such a
proceeding under the law could lead
to disturbance. If there be no such
legal remedy existing, and Congress
should hereafter, by the approval of
the President, or by two-thirds of both
Houses without the approval, provide
one, why should the legal determina
tion thereafter had any more produce
isturbance than the decision of the
Electoral Commission did? It is ex
actly because this is not Mexico, and
because the people prefer determining
questions by legal methods, and if the
legal methods have not been provided,
to invent legal methods of determining
them, and to submit to the determina
tion thus arrived at, that this country
canuot be Mexicnized."
The House Democrats have a cau
cus to-morrow to decide the question
of adjournment. The general im
pression is that the day proposed by
the Senate-the 10th of June-is too
early. Only two appropriation bills
have been sent to Mr. Hayes for ap
proval; an&. on some of the others,
more especially on the Army bill,
there is sure to be a long contest.
Unexpectedly to all the House yes
terday decided not to increase the
Army to 25,000 men. An amend
ment to the Army appropriation bill,
fixing the strength of the Army at
that number had been adopted in
Committee of the Whole, but was re
jected in the House. Au amendment
'was also adopted, the effect of which
is to prevent the use of the Army at
elections, and another transferring the
Indian Bureau to the 'War Depart
me'nt. On all these points the Senate
will probably disagree with the House.
As it is now stated on the authority
of intimate friends of General Grant
that he has lost nearly all the money
he ever had, the proposition to retire
him with the rank of General, which
was offered in the shape of an amend
ment to the bill retiring Gen. Shields,
will .be called up again, and pushed
through the Senate. li is pow sug
gested that, as there are but three
General officers of the Mexican War
living, they all be put on the retired
list. They are Nijelds, Caleb C4sh
ing and William 0. Bthfler, reiding
in Missouri, Massachusetts and Ken
tucky. SOLON.
The Laboratory of the System.
The stomach is the laboratory of the sys
tem in which certain mysterious processes
are constantly going on. These result in
the production of that wonderful vivifying
agent the blood, which in a state qf hpalth
is ladeil with thle elenients of yitality to thle
remotest parts of the system. But wilen ths
stomach is semi-paralyzed by dyspepsia,
blood manufacture is carried on imperfectly,
the circulation grows thin and sluggish, and
the system suffers in consequence, More
over, Indigestion reacts upon the liver and
bowels, rendering the first sluggish and the
latter constipated. The brain also suffers by
sympathy, and sick headaches, sleeplessness
anid nervops symptQms are engsuderpd.
Mostetter's Stomnach sitters refor;ns this
state of things, gives pernmanent ton.e anid
regularity to the stomach and its associate
organs, the bowels and liver, and ensures
complete nourishment and increased vigor
of the system. It is the most .popular as
well as the most efficient anti-dyspeptic and
tonic in America.
