Tlx* mountain luis labored and Ute resuli ls
..he monee. Ka message was ever more awkward?
ly put. together, or more quietly received In und
ont of Congress, tban the one delivered by thc
President un yesterday. Perhaps Hiebest criti?
cism passed upun it was thc somewhat ptnin one,
namely, tba*, it was more remarkable for what it
omitted than what it contained, and it ls gene?
rally accepted that what lt contained bad been
fully anticipated by thc gossip and speculation of
Ute post mouth, lt ls evident to Hie casual reader 1
thal Hiere arc no lews than three handwritings
Within the walls of the White House in ibis
document. There Ls not a shadow of doubt
thal Secretary Fish wrote every word of thc
rwitme of Hie foreign ailuuliou, and Hie suited,
deceptive generosity about the non recognition of
Hie belligerency of Cuba. This portion or thc mes?
sage seems to receive iiuivcraal disfavor, and ia
to be mel ul once with a counter Irritant in thc
shape of thousands upon thousands or names lo
memorials, asking Congress tn do something for
"free Cuba." The aplrli of thc document de*
, noujjcuig thc civil tenure of outee law, und ask?

tie could do io embarrass President Johnson, by
urging that this law be passed by Congress.
The report of the Secretary of the Treasury,
which Mr. llotuweli t.< ;.t with wo much secrecy,
was so far churl of tho general expectation that
it bad little or no buhu ncc upun the linuueiut
market, and full itu: in Congress. While Hie
West amt South ute united in demanding Hint
the volume of currency, shall be so enlarged as to
enable the legitimate channels uf trude to flow
on, Mr. Itoutwcll comes out and proposes that
Congress authorize bun to contract the currency
two millions per mouth, and without even relin?
quishing lils present right lo sell gold and lock
up Hie proceeds, so as lo lighten money al any
time it may suit the speculative purposes of him?
self or his friends ! And righi here, lt should bo
added, that despite nil Die lofty pretensions ul'
Mr. llOUtWCll that Hie recommendations of lils re?
port would tie kept secret, lt is nevertheless a fact
linn ?vi Saturday Ina! they were will known in

effect io misc the premium on such of Hie bonds
as were not included In it.
The proposed Radical persecution of Georgia
was me only sentiment uf the message applauded
on thc floor of the House, lt ls t?i bc one of Hie
earliest measarcs 01' thc tSBSlon, and the dictum
ot Grant's message, ii ls very evident, is to bc
fully carrioii om. Governor Bullock is here, and

introduced, that anything will bc done in tho
Georgia mutter antil nftcr the holiday recess.
Sncb is lite ferltng lu both houses that there
appears lo tic very little doubt a bill will bc pass?
ed, general In Us character, removing thc politi?
cal disabilities imposed by thc Fifteenth amend?
ment. Of course the most earnest opponents of
such a measure aro thc carpct-haz members.
Some of the latter, however, say they arc willing
tc vole for such a bill when Hie Fifteenth amend?
ment ls rat Hied, but not before. Thc Reconstruc?
tion Committee are holding n large number of
bills covering individual casos to see whut Con?
gress intends to do with a general mensure. A
bill lulrodiiocd In the Senate by Mr. Warner
reads ns follows:

AL a hil? hour last evening wc received lu

most terrible stale of affairs existing in t li itt place.
A private party who arrived here yesterday from
Ho - coiirlhuiise brought information of thu altair.
Restates that on last Wednesday John Robin?
son's Circus Company arrived in the village for
thc purpose ol' giving two exhibitions, and that
au immense crowd nf white men amt negroes hud
come In from Hie surrounding country lo witness
Hie performances. On Wednesday night Hie can?
vas was crowded, as were also thc louis lu which
wero thc jugglers, sword-swollowers. mid Hie
"great iiuturiil curiosities" which usually accom?
pany these caravans, aud are denominated "Side?
shows.-'
lt was in one of the side shows that the row ls
Raid to have originated, though in what manner
wc were unable to learn. Al all events, pistols
were drawn on both sides and freely used. Be?
fore thc diiltculiy contd bc stopped. Hie scalawag
clerk of the Superior Conn was shot and Instantly
killed, and another white man, unknown, was so
I car I oliy beaten In Hie head with Hie bul of it re?
volver by some one of his adversaries, that lils
wounds proved mortal mid he died during thc
night.
As if lo put Hie finishing touch lo tili? carnival
of blood, our same iuforiunlil staten thal on thal
night Hie negro mllitiu, wtio have been on duly

Tito "Memorial de la Loire,'' a roupectablc
French Journal, gives the following detalla on the
subject of an infant presenting thc moat remarka?
ble electrical pbenomeiiu ever yet reported:
We are not surprised to learn that there will be
given to the imperial Academy ol' Medicine, of
Parla, an elahorute and lniclUgcut commnnica
iion of Hr. 0***?O? Lyons, wno, with two outers,
went lo Kt. Unwin, und had thc scientific satisfac?
tion of witnessing ttie dying agonies, fur the child
ls unhappily dead, of ldc poor lillie sufferer.
Il wen id seem that the last moments of the
electrical Infant presented some truly astonishing
phenomena. Kor nearly two weeks before its
death electrical Hg".ls manifested themselves with
a vividness that confounded thc sclcutltlc men,
who "only saw fire," according to thc not very
ri'.s|vectfnl language of our correspondent.
No one could occupy thc space around the cra?
dle, he says, and thu shocks were sometimes
tarong enough lo knock down ul) who approached
lt. Two cala and a dog, boarders in thc house,
were compelled to leave. Thia slate of things wa*
aggravated from day to day, uud from hour to
hour, nulli the terininutlon of the malady, which
occurred on thc sui of November, nt half-past ll
in the evening.
The minni expired without thc leaat pnin or
convulsion, sweetly, In perfect repose, and as li'
ll sank to sleep; while the furniture nud occu?
pants of the room were seized with an indescrib?
able agitation.
At thc last uniment the emanations of light,
from thc body or thc dying child became three
times more Intense than they hail ever hceu seen
herore, and lasted Tor several minutes alter death.
All who were present, I do not except Ute physi?
cians, wentawav deeply luij-resBed hy ihestrange
spectacle ol which they had been lite witnesses.
lt ls not known, al tcusi to the public, of what
ULscasc the. child died. Dr. C*** will perhaps tell
us lu his paper.
The scientific men, ol course, desired lo luke
away Ute body for examination. Hut thc rela?
tions were violently opposed to this; and thc in?
terment took place in Ute burial ground or the
village willi Ute usual riles nud ceremonies.
Kor Instance, the hair or the wonderful child
ans cut oif close to itu: head, and divided among
thu relatives and friends, ll will prove a power
ful talisman, one might suppose, against many
evils.
I should not bc surprised, says our correspon?
dent tn conclusion, ir the scamps or thc neighbor,
huod should make tl a subject or speculation.
Tho electrical infam wu? born on tho tilth Feb?
