[PEE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH.J THE TRISH CHURCH QUESTION IN THE BRITISH PARLIAMENT. * . LONDON, Jane 27-2 A. M.-In the House of Lords, the debate on the Suspensory/Vll was con tin ned. A great multitude was ou the floor and in the galleries,.and', the excitement was intense. * - Lord Carnarvon regretted that this question - had been made a party measure. . Ireland had never gained anything on the 'battlefield, of. i -party pol?tica. Ho criticised the Irish policy ' of the late Derby Ministry, and distrusted, the policy,*)f the present Cabinet. He thought it safer for the Church to make terms with its avowed opponents ?han trust/its. professed friends. If the Church of England /ell into a minority his affection for ber would remain, but his conscience would not support her as an establishment. He was in favor .of dis? establishing the Irish Church, but lie would nut disendow it. Ho concluded with the declaration that he should vote-for-; the S'ns pensory bill. [Cheering from the' Whig benches.] Lord Bedosdale characterized thia bill as- a ..; sacrilego, and added that the Qaeda's sanction of it ought to be barred by the. coronation oath. 1 . *" ^ Lord Marlborough thought the bill only an .| aJEpmpt of the Liberals', to gain office afcay cost. Lords Duffer in and Rom dy J5 poko in- support of the bill, and the Archbishops of York and Armagh in opposition. The Marquis of Salisbury said thal the bill should have been made rb exclude future hold? ers of benefices from compensation. As th is'was not done, ho thought the object of its framers was to commit the Lords to some ulterior de? sign. This was no plan of disendowment, hut the framers threatened that if it were not. passed, worse would follow.' If a worse ona could be framed, they would have done it. He' conceived of nothing' worse than abolition. In? quiry should be made concerning the right bf j spoliation. If envy and dislike were the reason for it, it would not stop at corpora to property. He thought the Fenians would regard 'it aa a 'sop to save the land. Land, and not the church, was their object, and the real badge of con? quest. If tho Lords became au echo of the Qommons, they had better not he-Lords at all. He wished to yield to the opinion of the peo? ple, but if the Commons acted prudently, firm? ly and indmandentiy, they would probably in? terpret the'wiah of the people better than they j had done. The debate was then adjourned. - The Reform bill for Ireland was read for the first time in tho House of Lords, and an ad? journment took placer ? % Our Washington LUspntthes. -, CONGRESSIONAL .

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Is TBS SENATE to? day, a resolution of the Texas Reconstruction Convention, narrating the disorders and mur? ders in that State, waa referred to the Military Committee. Thomas W. Osborne, as Senator from Flori? da, waa declared entitled- to his seat by a vote of SStoC. After discussing the civil appro pi iat i on bill, lh e Senate adjourned. Is THE HOUSE, several political motions, re? ferring to the financial question, were intro? duced and discussed : without definite action. It is evident that the object of the Republicans is to make tho financial question tho para? mount issue in the approaching contest, ignor? ing the condition of the South under the Re? construction acts, or at least making it a secon? dary issue. The credentials of the Florida repr?senta? tives were presented, and referred to the Elec? tion Committee. The river and harbor improvemebt bill, with? out any amendment affecting the South, was passed and goes to the Senate. A joint resolution to adjourn on the 15th of Joly was passed-yeas 91, nays 47. - Crowds of delegates are in the city on their' way to the New York Convention. The senti? ments of some of the Southern delegates give a glow to Hancock's prospects, though tho under current for Chase is quite strong. The Law Court? In Georgi?. SAVANNAH, June SO.-The Savannah Bar adopted a resolution to-day requesting Judge Fleming to adjourn the Superior Court until the next term, on the grounds that changes are occurring in the political condition, and which may still have serious effects on the ju? dicial system. A High Old Game. : SAVANNAH, June SO.-Lieutenant-Colonel J. P. Martin, United States Army, having lost a considerable amount at faro, bad the gambler arrosted by military authority and confined in the barracks. The prisoner's counsel was de vTiied admittance. The counsel then took out a warrant to arrest the Colonel on a charge of J praying and betting at faro, hut the military re- [ ?. fused to allow the right of tho civil authorities ? to make the arrest. In Wilcox County two white men were mur? dered by a negro, who vn$j? captured after being shot, and brought to ibis city by four? teen of his own color. The Trial of the Colamba* Prisoners. ATLANTA, June 30.-Sixteen cars left for Milledgeville this morning, to .remove the furniture of the State capitol to Atlanta. The court for the trial of the Columbus prisoners met this morning. Ex-Governor Brown and three others are counsel for the prosecution, and Alex. H. Stephens and otb. .rs for the defence. Mr. Stephens entered the following plea on behalf of tho prison? ers: "They do not wish to bo understood ss admitting the rightful jurisdiction of this court, constituted ana organized os it now is tinder the rules and articles of war, to try offenders according to the laws and customs of war, to take charge of the trial against the laws of the State of Georgia, where? of they are J, accused, they boing all engaged in pursuits of civil life, and in no way connected with military service, neither in the land and naval forces of the United States, or of the militia thereof in ac? tual service; they hereby expressly reserve to themselves severally their right, hereafter to be claimed and asserted, if need be, to insist that this trial is not in conformity with the laws of the land, nor in accordance with their rights of trial by jury as guaranteed under the , Constitution of the United States." All pl :aded not guilty.

Capo May to Philadelphia, or QA Point to ^altimore. Sommerville ia or ought to be to Charlee ton. Situated on the line" of the South Carolina Railroad, only twenty miles from the city, the locality is one on which na ture baa pmired out with lavish hand her chain p?.-r>o of brTUtJi anti bjMmiy. JiMj-tmroj- jmiD it has been a favorite resort of our citizens, and fur many years it bas enjoyed a reputation throughout tho United Staten as a spot where the sufferer from disease, drinking tn delicious mouthfuls of tho purest air; may rapidly re?u perate. Thousands have < bus renewed their lease of life, and doubtless thank God to-day that: there* is anch a place aa Summerville, South Carolina. A lone time ago-long: before wo can remem? ber-pretty little cottages began to nestle among, the tall, pines. Now yon can walk scarcely a quaffer of a mile in any direction without Unding .some biding place where, among foliage and floweis, the ill, the well, or the weary may enjoy a vision of sweotr poace. The village is thrown together in a half care? less, scatteriug manner, as if lovers-uf nature had selected tho loveliest spots and pitched their tent. Of these romantic homes, there are, perhaps, one hundred and fifty within an area of two milos square. It is trim that tho d?solation *of war has leached even lliesc re? cessed spots; hat thone,h tho paint be dingy und the porch is crumbling away, and poverty has crept inside, it ia still beautiful to seo bow tho fingers of nature have worked the embroid? ery of leal and flower upon trellis fence and arbor, as if they would conceal decay. To accommodate the many visitors to Sum? merville, especially invalids, one of the eutei prising residents erected in 18'2 what has since been known aa ''Brown's Hotel." He en? larged the premises in 1860, and since that time large numbers of persons have been at? tracted thither from every portion of the country. In Charleston especially there aro many who, on perusing these lines, will recall the moonlight promenades on thc old piazza; the pleasant days which seemed Uko a perpet? ual Sabbath, the picn'o rides through tho neighborhood, aud, more than all, the refresh? ing slumbers at night, with no reconnoitering mosquitoes to disturb one's dreams of fried chicken aud delicious rolla for breakfast. It has been said that "it is a climate in which it is hard to be unhappy about anything; charm? ing to live at all, and easy to die." lt ia in a great measure true. Since the war our people have not travelled as muob as usual, and their means have not permitted them to resume "hotel lifo" for the summer. Consequently the old place has been somewhat neglected. During the past few weeks, however, Major J. P. Horbach, the proprietor of the Charleston Hotel, has taken the premises in charge for tho purpose of once more attmeting to them the tourist, and offering a homo to those who seek the bracing air of the locality; and a visit to tho place yes ?erday established the fact beyond peradven? ture til at he is making use of every clement of success to achieve this object. With ils new features, one can scarcely recognize tho sunt. The house has been repainted from piazza to roof tree; old outbuildings have been removed and others whitewashed. A handsome arbor has boen constructed as an entrance; Ute lawn has been renovated, trees trimmed, fencea put in order, unsightly objects .lorn down, and, io short, a holiday aspect given to every depart? ment. Adjacent dwellings have likewise been rented and subjected to the same overhauling. These will be used for various purposes con? nected with the conduct of tho establishment. Altogether, tho number of bedrooms is about forty. Each of these contains a neat Bet of cot? tage furniture, and is adapted, as tho case may be, to individuals or to families. The dining room is capacious, and connected convenient? ly with a complete culinary department; the water-?*: wer batt been improved; the ladies' aud gentlemdu'e parlors ore neatly fitted up (the former also contains a piano), and tho entire cstah?bliment put on a thorough hotel basis. All these plans of Major Horbach have been carried out nuder the supervisory care ot Messrs. James Kerr and George Mixer, both of whom have had a largo experience in t he entertainment of the public, and while their cbiof conducts as usual the old CharlHHton, they will manage ita infaut progeny at Sum? merville. To make the enterprise still more complete, Mr. Jackson, the proprietor of the Charleston Hotel atables, will thia weok move to Summer villo several ommbusses, carriages, buggies, und baddie horaos, so that guosta may avail themselves of quadruped powor in going to or returning from thc depot, or in social lidos through the eouutryt Further* to contribute to their enjoyment Major Horbach has cauacd a couple of billiard tables to he set np, in one of tho adjoining buitdiuga; a-pistol gallery baa boen con si meted, and tho tcu pin allev put in working . order. Carpenters are likowise engaged in lay? ing down a large platform iu tho Bhade of tho huge frees on the-lawn, tor dancing purposes, and for the usc of Ibo Post Dand, which will perform every week.- Coe y seats for lovers aro to he arranged. Indeed overy enjoyment which an ingenious and enterprising hotel proprietory eau offer to the public, to induce ;thom to come and partake of summer joys, is tojjo found on tho grounds of "Browns Hotel,'' ut Summerville. Docs tho visitor desire to ride ? He can go to half a dozen historic, revolutionary places in tho vicinity aud spoul a day in gathering relics. Does ho flab ? richutz'u Lake, A shape of beauty sleeping oa tho lap of earth four miles away, will furnish trout, brim and porch. Does he desire to loaf? Ho can stroll over rustic bridgoa, tako bis own portrait iu pelucid waters, or be lullod to sleep by the whispered psalms of the stately pines. Such is Summer? ville and thc now attractions of thc place. Tho hotel is now open, and will probably commence to receive visitors from to-day; but tho rush to it, especially by those who seek a day or night's rest from city labors, may not set in until after thc removal of the band. Tjioae persons who desire accommodai iona which, we aro informed, may be obtained on verV reasonable terms-will subserve their in? terests by engaging apartments in advance. An opening ball is, wc learn, among the things "to be" within a week or two. Hit OC KK DI Ai G S OF CITY ?Ol M IL. A regular meeting of tho City Council was held last: eyening.

The Washington correspondent of the Balti? more Gazette, writing under date of June 28, says: A large number of Southern delegates to the Nen- York Convention dave arrived here, and tho question of platform and nomination is boing very freely discussed. Tho determina? tion to em I: all personal pref, ronces aud to unite ou the strongest and best candidato is universally expressed. So strong is this feel? ing that many of the delegates actually abstain bom expressing any preference. They ex? press tho greatest confidence in being able to carn' every Southern State for thc Conserva? tive ticket, if adowed to have fair elections. Aud just here comes in an important item. It is understood that there will be a declaration by the Convention to the effect that the people, are determined to bave a fair elec? tion. Such a notice being deemed necessary for two reasons-first that the Jacobins may bo fully notified in advance that they will not bo allowed to seize tho executive office by vio? lence, outrage or fraud ; and secondly to arouse those who have oi' late years come to tbink that Hadical outrages wera not to be resisted, to tho fact that the timo has come to maintain the constilut ion and the law. There have been some indications that a plot was being cone tot? ed by which Congross would exclude such States as might bc uccossaiy to secure to the present dominant party the Presidential election. The time for BUCII plotting to be auccossful has passed. There will have to be a fair election, and before thc Radical candidate will be allow? ed to assume tho duties of Presidential office, be will have to be fairly elected according to the forms ol Ibo constitution. Such are tho declarations one bears on every side, and hence it is tho declared purpose of delegates to thc Convention to insist ou giving tue pro Ser notice "to all whom it may concern." rUh a fair election, it is believed that every Southern Slate will follow the example of Mississippi and roll up a Democratic major? ity. Mississippi has the Largest registered negro vote iu the South next to South Caro? lina, and yet with a fair ballot it is said bas given a Conservative majority of twenty thou? sand. The delegates from Texas promise twenty thousand majority for Ibo Democratic nominee, and more if General Hancock is iu the field. The delegates from Alabama and South Carolina say that tho rapid change which is going on in the Southern States will greatly astonish the Radical party and their carpet-bag agents. The political leagues which bad beeu formed are being exposed, demoralized and broken up, and the negroes aro becoming veiy much divided, mau? of them declaring their purpose to abaudon their allies aud form new associations. The action of the majority of tbe Houso of Representatives itt allowing McKee, of Ken? tucky, to take th? seat which they bad rei ne? ed to John D. Young, the member elect, ha*. - given great dissatisfaction to thc xaait> *** and respontablo /QB* qo??in*?t partv aud AA^T^1T chating terribly under the Um h mjry Baker (Radical), of Illinois, said yes? terday that his party should adopt a standing rule, that whenever a Democrat bad noLxaore i than ?OOO majority, be should be considered deleated, and hts Radical oppoueut be al? lowed Iiis neat, Poland (Radical), of Vermont, bearing the suggestion, proposed to amend, by declaring that whenever a Stat? did not give over 20,000 Democratic ma? jority, the cutir? Radical ticket should be de? clared elected. Such remarks show bow ut- ' terly disgusted those gentlemen are with the actidb of their own party. Poland remarked in tho comuiiDoo which rc co m mendel that McKee should be admitted to a seat that he could perceive bul oue objection in it. "Aud what is that ono objectionr* hastily nuked tho Chairman. " H<* hus never been elected," os promptly responded Mr. Poland, "and you had as well vote Beau Hickman into ft seat us to admit McKee." Baker remarked in ronvcr satiou yesterday that lie bad not dreamed the outrage would bo perpetrated until it was un accomplished tact. THE EIGHT-HODS LAW. The eight-hour law having boon approved by the President, goos at once into operation in the navy yard and other government work? shops here. The law in its general repealing clause repeals, among i titer things, so much of an old law us requites tim pay of mechanics and laborers Lu government employ to corres? pond with what is paid by private employers. This leaves it discretionary with the beads ot of departments to regulate the per diem of la? borers in their respective departmeuts, and this occasions a now source of trouble; for while the workmen oro, of conree, well satisfiod with eight hours, they do not relish the pros? pect of a probable corresponding decrease of compensation. ALLEGED DISCOVERY OP .STA RT Lt NO BOUNTY PRAUD8-OFFICIAL INVESTIGATION. The House committee ou frauds iu the pay department, in the course of their investiga? tion, bave discovered some startling frauds iu the payment of bounties in tho second audi? tor's office, and in the office of the adjutant goucral, principally in tho payment of colored soldiers. By tho bounty laws colored soldiers who were slaves were allowed one hundred dol? lars bounty, aud free colored men three hun? dred dollars, and iu adjudicating the accounts the latter amount was paid in a very large number of cases whore only one hundred dol? lars was due, the difference being divided be? tween certain pat ties. Upon tho facts being mado known to Secre? tary Mcculloch, be to-day issued au order suspending all payineuts of bounties to color? ed men, and all tho papers and records in the casen wero placad in a ronni of thc depart? ment .nul Ibo kny (urned uvur Lo thc chairman ol tho investigating committee.

WARNING TO COUNTERFEITERS AND A CAUTION TO PURCHASERS.-No expense will be snored, no lc;al means of punishing fraud will be neglected, in the effort to prevent thc coun? terfeiting Of HOSTETTER'S STOMACH HITTERS. Rat scniiudrebRni, when its cunning aud activity arc stimulated by the hope of gain, is very ingenious and industrious. The nicu whose despicable busi? ness il' ls to simulate valuable proprietary medicines, and who substituto therefor diiugerons nr worthless preparations, are proverbially di??ciiR to catch. Most or them have many aboses, and they flit from stale to slate willi surprising ability, in the hope of evading the clutches of the law. 'Hie proprietors ol' HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS are determin? ed, if possible, to hunt them down. Travelling ageuLi are employed lor Ibis purpose, and wheuevcr un offender Is detected, he is pro ecuh-d with Hie utmost rigor ot the law. Nu amount of vigilance, however, can prevent the occasional Introduction or mutations and counter? feits. Thc public are then-lore canlionednot to pur? chase .my article purporting to be HOSTETTER'S STOMACH BITTERS which is not authenticated by thc handsome government stamp specially engraved tor the proprietors, and also by their superb new label with a beautiful vlguette. representing the con? nie t between St. George sud thc Dragon, at thc top, and a miniature note of hand, signed Hostrtter it Smill at the foot. _ N.

IU mouths and 26 days, the beloved und only child of JOSEPH and M A H rm ET MICHEL. This lovely- flower, in whom all the pride aud love of fond parents was concentrated, they viewed as thc minist . ri n ? angelnf their last days, whose tender care they hoped would soothe their weary heads upou their last resting place. Deeply do we ic i for that doline father aud Idolizing mother, whose fondest thought was their MARY. Sadly do they miss her in their now dosolato hon e; but, bereave 1 ones, mourn not, for MAST is not lost, but gone before, and heaven liss one angel more. The light of our household is gone, A volco we loved ls stilled. A place ls vacant in oar hearts, Which never can be filled. A gentle heart that throbbed bnt nc ; With tenderness and love. Hes hushed its weary throbblugs here, To throb in bliss above. . Uour to the home where angels are, Her pure spirit lied; And yet we bend abovo her tomb With mars, und call tar dead. Farewell, door one, farewell, This ls a world of pain; I will suppress the rising lear, For we shall meet again. * Special Mitts. ?3-Q?ARTERLY STATE TAXES.-GENE BAL 4TAX OFFICE, FI (EPROOF BUILDING.
