THU MISSISSIPPI LEVEE BELL-TEE FEELING IN THE CAPITAL-RESIGNATION OE THE ATTOR NET-GESEBAX-THE RESULT LS NEW HA3IP ey r HT-VIEWS OF CHUT JtSHCZ CHASE-THE M*ARDLE CASE-DOINGS OF CON3RESS. "WASHINGTON, March 12.-The Mississippi Levee and Railroad bill proposes to endorse the company's bonds, principal and interest, at $20,000 per mile. The bonds to be issued with the completion of each twenty miles. The road and levee are to be located and construct? ed under tho supervision of the Chief Engineer of the United States army. The impeachers manifest a feverish anxiety, but otherwise there is no excitement. There are no signs of a veto, and the Democrats argue .that the majority bill will render the admission of Alabama nuder the recent elec? tion inexcusable. Stanbery's resignation bas been accepted. He defends the President. The bill making a majority of votes ratify the constitution and allowing registered persons to vote any where in the State after ten days residence on certificate, affidavit or other evi? dence, is a law by the lapse of ten days. The Republican majority in New Hampshire is 2500 to 2800 ; total vote 77,000. Each party carries five counties. It was Lieut-Col. Sykes, instead of Sickles, that was ordered to> report to General Hancock for duty. y It is stated that Chase favors allowing the President twenty or thirty days to prepare his case. Chase will insist on a reasonable time. The Impeachment managers are very busy taking evidences. Thirty additional Senate doorkeepers have been employed. The President remitted the sentence of the military commission at Vicksburg, May, 18G7, whereby Abel Wall, a citizen, was sentenced to seven years' hard labor in the Arkansas peni? tentiary; also Richard Fitzgerald, of Panola County. These remissions are issued in gene? ral orders, and signed by Grant on the Presi? dent's order. The revenue to-day is $598,000. There was a special Cabinet meeting to-day; all were present. The Star says there is good reason for say? ing that no decision will be rendered in thjB McArdle case* for two or three days. It is stated that should the amendment to the judi? ciary bill be passed to-day it will throw Mc? Ardle out of court. Colonel Lewis Walfley has been confirmed as Collector of Internal Revenue for the first dis? trict of Louisiana, Chas. VanWinkle as Mar? shall of Virginia, T. "W. Scott as Consul at Matamoros. CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS. IN THE SENATE, to-day, the Pension bill was discussed, and the Senate went into executive session, but came out in a few minutes and concurred in the House amendment to the bill amending the Judiciary acts, which now goes to the President. The Senate then went into executive session again, and afterward ad? journed. IN THE HOUSE the Freedmen's Bureau bill was postponed to Tuesday. The Senate reso? lution for erecting military warehouses at Fortress Monroe was passed. The internal management of the treasury was discussed at length. The bill constituting the Secretaries of War, Treasury and the Attorney-General a board to fix the charges of the Pacific Railroad was passed. The Senate bill amending the Judiciary act of eighty-nine, to appeal on suits arising in the collection of the revenue was passed with an amendment, repealing so much of the act of February 5, 1867, being an act to amend the Judiciary act of eighty-nine, as authorizes an appeal from the jud gment of a Circuit Court to the Supreme Court, or the exercise of any such jurisdiction by the Supreme Court on ap? peals that have been or may hereafter be taken. Stevens called up the bill for the admission of Alabama, but Blaine moved an adjourn? ment, which was carried. The Reconstruction Conventions. VIRGINIA. RICHMOND, March 12.-The disfranchising clause was reconsidered and amended, so as to disfranchise whether the person had taken the oath to support the United States or not, and again adopted-ayes forty-four; nays thirty eight. An amendment disfranchising all who voted for secession candidates for the Seceding Convention, and all who wrote, spoke or fa? vored secession, was defeated-ayes thirty-six; nays forty-seven. An amendment restoring to the legislature the power, by a two-thirds vote, to remove disability, and each removal to be made by a separate vote, was adopted. A mo? tion to disfranchise persons exempted from the army by contracts with thc rebel govern? ment, was defeated. General Schofield to-day issued an order suspending sales of property under deeds of trust, where the sale would result in unne? cessary sacrifice, or where payment of interest in a reasonable time without such sacrifi?e can be made. NORTH CAROLINA. RALEIGH, March 12.-Last night the relief ordinances were defeated. The convention to? day passed a resolution to adjourn next Tuos day; also adopted a report requesting Congress to remove the disabilities of about an average of eight persons in every county in the State, most of the persons named were obscure indi? viduals so far as known. The Davis Trial Postponed. RICHMOND, March 12,-Tho Davis trial, which was to have taken place on tho 1th Wednesday in March, was postponed by the following proceedings in Judge Underwood's court this morning : "United States cs. Jefferson Davis.

Ibo great spirit of unrest has been appeased, and the convention yesterday looked like an enlarged edition of the "Happy Family." Thc several successful candidates "looked their very best;" the unfortunates bor3 their defeat with outward equanimity, and nobody would have suspected that they Ind just passed through a revolution. Governor Orr visited the convention soon after it was called to order, and was enthusias? tically received. Petitions were presented from the following persons, praying to have then- political dis- ? abilities removed: J. K. Stone, Greenville; j John W. Twitty, Lancaster; E. W. Lawson, Ab- I beville; Matthew McDonald, E. P. Lake, of 1 Newberry, and John T. Green, of Sumter. Referred to the Committee on Petitions, i which it is understood will report on Monday . next. i The convention took up its unfinished buei- 1 ness, namely, the articles referring to the Ex- 1 ecutive and Judicial Departments, which re- : cei ved their third reading; with the exception 1 of section 2, which was recommitted for the 1 Surpose of fixing the date of installation of the , tove,rnor. 1 B. O. Duncan said that tho chairman of the Judiciary Committee, then absent, had an ad- 1 ditional section to incorporate in the judiciary 1 report, namely, the ordinance passed by the 1 convention invalidating contracts based on i slave property. ? Mr. J. S. Craig opposed the introduction of the ordinance into the constitution; said it was 1 in direct conflict with that clause which re- 1 ferred to impairing the obligations of con? tracts, and that if incorporated he would vote ? against the constitution. Mr. N. G. Parser offered a resolution that < when the convention finally t-.djourn it shall be on Tuesday, March 17, at 12 o'clock M., sub- : ject to tue call of the President and Vice- 1 Presidents, in th? order in which they stand, 1 at any time that the public exigencies shall ? demand, provided that au soon as the presid? ing officer shall have received official notice of 1 the ratification of this constitution by the peo- 1 pie he shall, by pubhc proclamation, adjourn 1 the convention sine die. ? Also the following resolution : Besotted, That J. J. Wright, D. H. Chamber- ; lain^ J. N. Rutland, B. F. Wldttemore, and W. B. Nash be declared the Vice Presidents of this convention, who shall perform the dutieB of President of this convention in the event of the death or ic ab; ii ty of the present President. Both resolutions were agieed to. Mr. S. Corley, of Lexington, offered the fol? lowing resolutions : Whereas, the registrars of some of the coun? ties of thc State during the period of the late registration, forgetting that virtue itself is meanness in a s'.ave, refused to enter the names of colored men on their hst, simply because while slaves they had been punishedVs felons by an incompetent and autocratic court, held for the trial of petty offences ; Be it, therefore, Besoived, That no offence heretofore com? mitted by a slave, nor punishment inflicted on the same, can nov. 0 beld as coming within the intent and meaning of the Reconctxnction laws in reference to felony; and hereafter every loyal citizen should hold "it to bs his imperative duty to report the registrars so finding to the commander of the Second Military District, that he may be visited with the just penalty of violated law. Also the following: Whereas, The provisions of the present bank? rupt law are beyond the reach of the really poor man, and, therefore, a practical nullity in their application to the very cases they should above all others reach; therefore, Resolved, That the members of the Constitu? tional Convention do hereby petition Congres s to amend said iaw in such a manner as to se? cure ita benefits to al!, without reference to the precise amount of the indebtness of the appli? cant, or the payment cf thc advance fees which are now requited. Both of tue resolutions were adopted. Mr. D. H. Chatuberiaiu introduced the follow? ing ordinance, and moved that it be referred to a committee of five, which was agreed to, and the following committee was appointed: D. H. Chamberlain, T. J. Robertson, J. N. Rutland, W\ A. Webb and F. E. Wilder: lR?ereaa, During the recent rebellion against the author;'." and Government of the United States miuy dishonest practices were resorted to in order to enhance, in tue public estima? tion, the nommai value of -he currency and securities issued by the States confederated in rebellion, and divers agents were employed and acting ior that purpose in this State, who, while misrepresenting thc condition and pros? pects ot haid Confederacv with the vier/ of de? ceiving the people as to the value of its obli? gations: toon advantage of the credulity of the people, inducing them to part with real estate and other property, for such obligations, for the private and personal benefit of such agents and those associated with them for such^pc cuktive purposes. And whereas, without spe? cial aid fio:;i the General Assembly, the per? sons thus defrauded, being stripped of th'-ir property and means, will m many instance-, be unable to prosecute, with effect, their -?i<l legal demand?, Be U ordain* That it shall be the du:v of thc General Assembly, at its first session to provide the means ol' facilitating the recoven of all such property and damages, ?.nd, to I end, shall have power to authorize the At nev-General to prosecute one or more acti or'proceedings m behalf of the persons so jared, and against all officers, agents and plovees of the said Confederacy, and their ai ciates implicated as hereinbefore mentioi and in such actions or proceedings the in ests or liabilities of two or more individu growing ont of separate transactions, may united, either as plaintiff or defendant, as r. be deemed most expedient. On motion of B. F. Randolph, thc Comr tee on Education was instructed to report s ?ion eleven of educational report to-morrow three o'clock. W. E. Johnson, of Sumter, offered thc lowing, which was agreed to amid much che ins: jRe.toh'-'l. That thc members of the first Ci stitutional Convention ot South Carolina ail tionately greet our President, Hon. A. Mackey, on thia the sixty-first anniversary his birthdey. The President-Gentlemen of ;ue Conv< tion: I re?oive your greetings with gra fal affection.

The external senses, as well as the mental ia:ultics, often manifest symptoms of derangement. Noise, as ox* falling water, and ringing in the ears ere complained of, while black specks and fiery sparks frequently flit before the vision. Admonitions like these should not be disregarde?, as they may, if neglected, termi? nate in insanity. The s .at ot the disease is in the brain and nervous system, and to control the malady it is necessary to use a powerful tonic and alterative, which will correct and tone those organs without in? flaming the brain. This is thc secret cf the success of HOSTEITER'S STOMACH EITIEP.S in cases of this kind, for which it is the safest as well QB the best ci restoratives. In fact it is the only pure and reliable tome stimu lan: kuown.
