-Mahomet's birthday was celebrated at Cai?
ro, on the 1st ultimo, when the prostrate liodles
of fanatics were ridden over by the Sheik of
Bekree. live snakes wore eaten, glass crunched
and swallowed, bodies slashed with swords,
checks and breasts pierced with sharp metal
instruments, which were left sticking In thc
wounds they made, and hundreds of men and
boys shrieked and writhed and wrestled in
what professed to be mad ecstacy of religious
fervor. All this was gone through In tho pub?
lic streets In broad daylight, timi In thc pre?
sence of i ns many lookers-on as could be
crammed together on tho Hal roofs, or could
see from the windows of tho houses, or at the
gratings of tho mosque at which Hie festival
culminated, It ls said timi the Sheik was drunk
during the ceremonies. His eyes were closed
throughout, lils face wai white to ghastliness,
his body bad the helpless swaying motion of a
corpse held up. Ho was gorgeously dressed,
and wore an immense turban ol' a greeu shawl
pattern. Ills hands held the bridle, bul they
were limp and useless, and his horse was led
by two attendants. As ho approached, the
convulsive twitching of the arms and leg? of
those prostrate grow mm e and more pronounc?
ed, and then the trampling under foot began.
Sometimes ou tho centre of the back, oftener
between two men, so ns to stand on tho fleshy
paris of the sides of both, tho horse went
steadily on until all down hail borno a portion
of Hand Its rider's weight. No one seemed
much hurt, however. Tho very tightness of
the packing gave a certain power of resistance
to the concrete mass of humanity, and directly
the Sheik passed, those behind Jumped up,
many of them going forthwith Into convul?
sions.

Thc first legislative week of Congress has
gone, mid without Important result. The be?
lief is general now that little will bc accom?
plished lill after tho holiday recess beyond the
more preparation ol' busluess. The dictum of
the message ou thc BUUUB of Georgia will be
concurred in, for tho Reconstruction Commit?
tee seem to have made up their minds on that
point at once, and in tba Senate the Judiciary
Committee have considered two or three bills
making coudltlons precedent to tho readmis?
sion of the State, iiamuly thc complete restora?
tion of the colored members to tho Legislature.
Governor Hullock ls here, incessantly
nt work to enrry out his plans and
purposes, and hus oven gone so far as
tu dine and wine thc leading Radicals
in thc House, nun tako other measures to
get Into their good graces, the more effectual?
ly to pave thc way for Influence In Congress.
This is, lu some respects, necessary, for Bul?
lock has a few old ncqualntauccs In Washing?
ton who remember him when he was Adams'
Kxpress agent and a telegraph operator here,
to Bay nothing of transactions In which he
figured very disgracefully In a domestic lino.
Conservative Georgians who ore here think
that it is Bullock's intention to get tho Stale
under his coDtrol, so that he cnn organize a
negro militia and then do Just what he pleases,
and they have not failed to explain to Conser?
vative Republican members, and Democrats
In the Home, thc exact role which Bullock In?
tends playing. When the discussion comes up
lu thc House, some fuels regarding his man?
agement of a nair.s In that State will bo sub?
mitted, and some interesting derelopments
may bo expected-probably In ibo financial
line, and thc account! of the State of Georgia
with lin-Tent li New York Nat:? XT-d Hunk will,
without doubt, be a feature oflj Rni.

Tho Sout h, of course, reels n.;.ccp Interest in

very material modifications ute II bc made nt
this session. The President'^'proposition- to
defer the whole question oT rcdi'.elng taxation,
through the customs and ir?crunl revenue
laws, has dampened the order of Pennsylvania
protectionists not a little, and'they have nol
much hope of a bill being passed until another
year comes around, lt. ls possible thal Hie
freo list may bc enlarged to the extent of ad?
mitting, duty free, tv large lumber of articles
not produced in this country.' This would be
ol'benefit to the drug tnulc to M "Teal extent,
und il ls belrg very warmly preiset! by tho
New York Interests. As regards the excise
law, few or no changes will b > made. A pro?
position lo reduce tho income ".ax will bo very
generally supported in the House, and ti mo?
ilun uot lo renew lt after it expires next May,
will get a gaud many votes In nita House. The
lax is most odious even to Congressmen, and
should be cul down or abolish nil.
The bill to pay Southern oiiicials who coultl
nut lake Hie iron-clad oath has already been
considered in the Senate, and thu prospect is
that it will pass bulli houses without material
opposition. In the discussion. Mr. Sherman
saki lt had passed the Sen il-.? twice, which
.Sumner pettishly added was '-twice too much."
As the bill was an old customer, he intended lo
oppose it. The ponding mensure ls In effect os
follows:
lie il enacted, <Zc, That the heads of
the several executive departments be, und
they ure hereby, authorized to allow, and
