The Georgia bill goes to the President Its' bearing is not understood, though Trumbull, when voting for the hill, declared he did so becaase he understood that ft made an elec? tion this isl! mandatory. The announcement o? war between Prussia and France, by the Associated Press dispatch? es, was received lathe House with applause. Congress extended its session to 2 b'clock. SENATS..?. V The Senate ls la executive session, 'fighting over .FreUaghaysea'B nomination to succeed: Motley at the Court of St James. The following message, presented by the President to the Senate to-day, elicited consid? erable debate, bat with np other result than delaying adjournment until five P. M. "2b the Senate and Souse of Representative* : "Your attention ls respectfully called to the necessity of passing an Indian Appropriation bill before the members of Congress separate. Without such an appropriation, Indian hostili? ties are sure to ensue, and with them suffer? ings, loss of Die, and expenditures vast as compared with the amount asked for. "The latest intelligence from Europe Indi? cates that a war between France and North Germany ls imminent, and in view of this a sound policy dictates the Importance of some legislation tendir g to enlarge the commercial marine ot this country. The vessels of this country at the present time are insufficient to meet the demand which the existence of war ia Europe will impose apoa the commerce of the United States, and I Bnbmlt to the consid? eration of Congress that the interest of the country will be advanced by the opportunity to our ci.tize ns to purchase vesselB of foreign construction for the. foreign trade of the coun? try. An act to- this effect may be limited io las duration to neet the immediate exigen* cy. The foreign mall service oi the United States ' is, Inf -a large degree, depen? dent upoa the Bremen and Hamburg line of steamers. The Postoffice Department has entered into contracts in writing with the companies above named, and with the Wil? liams A Guion lines respectively, for a regu? lar and continuons service of two years. The only arrangement that could be made with' the loman and Cunard lines ls temporary, and might be broken off at any time. The North German lines are first-class in point of speed and equipment, their steamers equally making the trip across the Atlantic in from twenty four to thirty-six hours in advance of the Wil? liams A-Guion. Should the North German steamers . be blockaded or impeded by France, onr postal intercourse with foreign cations will be greatly embarrassed unless Congress shall interpose for its relief. I sug? gest to Congress the propriety ol' further post? poning the time for adjournment, with the view of considering the.questions herein com? municated." THE GEORGIA BILL. WASHINGTON, July 15. H.-P. Farrow, one ol the Georgia senators, has Issued an address to the members of the Georgia Legislature, taking the position thai the Georgia bill leaves the State Constitution untouched, and therefore the elections must take place in November; also that for the members to attempt to hold over would ruin the party. This is the opposite of the position taken by Bullock and Blodgett. y ATLANTA, July 15. " Tte general opinion of all, irrespective of party, is that the Georgia bill gives the State an election this fall. THE EH UCATIONA!, CONVENTION. WARRENTON, VA., July 15.

An Order Granted to Snow Cause why the City shall not be Enjoined from Paying Interest and Collecting Taxes. THE PHOSPHATE BILL. [SPECIAL TELEGRAM TO THE HEWS.] COLUMBIA, July 15. To-day, before Judge Willard, a motion was made by the counsel of Alva Gage and other residents and property-holders of the City of Charleston for aa injunction to restrain the City Council from paying the principal or in? terest of that part of the bond debt of the elly which was contracted In aid of railroads, and to prevent them from collecting the taxes levied for paying Interest on such debt. Mr. Spratt, of Charleston, and Chancellor Carroll, of Colombia, appeared lor the residents and property-holders, and City Attorney Corbin for the City Council. After the argument the judge held hat the holders or the bonds, affected by such an injunction, were necessary parties, and should have au opportunity of resisting the motion for the injunction4 whereupon Messrs Spatt and Carroll amended their complaint so as to make Mr. Biggs and others defendants. An order was then granted requiring the de? fendants to show cause, on the 22d of July, why.the injunction, as prayed for, should not 'issue.. This order will be served upon the bondhold? ers, so aa to afford them an opportun ty to be heard upon the day mentioned. The application for au injunction to restrain parties from trespassing upon the phosphate beds in the rivers and navigable waters of the Stat?, will be made to-morrow. TEE GEORGIA LEGISLATURE. ,.

CHEERING ACCOUNTS FROM THE UP-COUNTRY The Weather and the Crops-Pendleton Wants to Hear Carpenter and Butler. ]FROM AN OCCASIONAL CORRESPONDENT.] PsatDLKTOit, July 12. I have been playing truant for some time back, in not paying my accustomed respects to j HE NEWS. Apd having been only a sort of weather gauge heretofore, we have not had much of great importance cf late td note. But since my baud is in, I will venture a few words on other subjects of increasing interest to ail true men and well-wishers for the future pros? perity of our down-trodden and much abused State. I am pleased to Bee from your extracte from many of the papers of our State, that the pro? ceeding of the State Beform Convention are generally so well received. We bave put the ball in motion, to roll on, we trust and believe, until its accumulations shall enlarge it to the uttermost dimensions that the most anxious and devoted friends of oar cause may desire. Many of the people of our conn'y did not SOPHI to be very aoxiooa for a DO ninatiOD of a State ticket; perhaps from the effects of cold water administered by some who seemed to ta to more interest m the matter tban did the voters at larce. Yet, since a nominatioo baa been made, BO far as ?my observation goes, there seems to be but little opposition to it. We hereabouts can't believe that two thousand voters of our county are, or were, opposed io a nomination. On attending the township convention at An? derson for the purpose of nominating delegates to the June convention at Columbia, we found tbe people ofthat place and ito immediate sur? roundings, many of them, very cold, and reluc? tant to make any nomination at all. But, not to go into particulars, a nomination was finally effected. But it is cot generally believed that our county was truly represented in the Colom? bia convention, though without the least doubt in the mind of your correspondent, honestly, in accordance with tho views and belief of our del? egates. The meeting at Anderson was a very slim one. and, of course, could not represent tbe sentiments of the whole county. There were only three townships partially represent? ed; and we aie ot the opinion if we had had a representation from all the townsnips, we should have bad less difficulty io procuring the appointment of delegate* to Columbia. It is boped we shall have no fence riding. The man that ia not boldly and unflinchingly for us, we f et down as against us. Lei us who desire a reformation work barmonlously together. Let us throw no buzzard's leg in, least we may ''spoil the whole pot of soup." But let us make a strong pull, a long pull, and a pull alto? gether, and success must reward our efforts. We see the candidates will address the people of our county, at Anderson, on the 271 h ; Oco nee, at Walhalla, on the 28th, and of Pickens, at New PickenB, on the 29th. Webopetbev will not slight old Pendleton, where they will be heard by many that will Dot attend the other pointa named. There is a gap left open for Pendleton according to the published pro? gramme. They speak at Greenville on the 25th, at Anderson CD the 27ih, ic. Now. if, instead of the 27th at Anderson, they will take the 2G:h, and give ns the 27th, all will be as we desire and as it should b?. When I last wrote you, we had on U3 a dis? tressing drought, which continued some five or six weekj. After that, an equally distressing long spell of wet weather of some five weeks; and now many of us hereabouts are suffering again for rain, but as Jt is raining around us in sight, we trust our time will come next, as it is said it rains on tbe just and the unjust. The ground has been so packed down by the neaw lams, that we_cannot even prepare our turnip pitches. Soufe of ns 6uffer dreadfully in tbe weeds and grass iu oar cropafrom the 'loss of time iq the wet weather. But, though I am opposed to bragging on early blooms, ie., our prospects for good cotton .crops are certainly thc most encouraging 1 b ivekaowu iu this sec? tion for many years. Not SJ with corn, of which I thmk wo have comparatively only a light crop, and that looking badly. Tbe yield or wheat is fair; though the early drought somewhat shorteued the heads, the grain is nnusually plump an;l good. Oita, which, when I last wrote yon, I believed to b? cat off, have come ont astonishingly, especially the late sown. This dry spell will enable some of us to get out of the weeds, bur. 1 fear the work ta oar corn, especially that wuic'a Las be?u nure Deflected than cotton, is too late to mike auy tbiue like a tull crop. The weather throughout the dry apelle, Doth in May, June and July, has been unusually bot and dis'rei-smg in the sun, but not so much BO in thc shad ?. In May. the thermometer, in a wide passage east and west, ranged, from the 16th to the 23d, from 84 to 90 degrees; in June, from 24tb to 30th. 86I088; July 1st, 88; 21, 88?; SJ. 85- ^th, 86; 5tb, 83, 6tb. 88, with rain around, < ooled the atmos? phere, and was not noted to Utb, 86; 12th, 90 all obsjrvatloDB at 1 P.

TONE OF THE PRESS. The Work Before U?. [From tte Columbia Phoenix.] Whilst we advise our people in good faith and on high, open grounds, to press this Re? form movement to its best results and to a vic? torious end, at the same time we urge them not to close their eyes to the great work of fostering Industry and encouraging Immigra? tion, we must put In play a triune force. We must win the State from the plunderer and pilferer, must press the work ot active indus? try-, and we must clear the way for the streams ot Non hern and European immigration. A Georgia View of the Movement. [From the Augusta Chronicle- and Sentinel.] Butler, Kershaw, Bonham and Hampton are not the kind ol' men to compromise their self-respect and the honor and Interests of South Carolina for the spoils of office. They hunger not after the flesh-pote; bot they are determined to make an honest and manly effort to rescue their gallant but outraged State from the grasp or the plunderers who are despoiling her and her citizens by the en? actment and enforcement of arbitrary, uncon? stitutional and plundering edicts. Though situated upon the borders we have no Inten? tion of intermeddling with the Internal policy ol our sister State, or of volunteering gratui? tous advice as to the political policy which shoald govern the leaders of the people in toe campaign just inaugurated. We deem lt our duty, however, as lt ls most assuredly our pleasure, to defend the motives of the good people of South Carolina from misrepresenta? tion, come from what quarter or source it may, and to do all in our power to aid them in securing an honest administration of their State government. A Fair Field and no Favor. [From the Barnwell Sentinel.] This is a contest for the triumph of truth and virtue, not for political ascendancy. All the Citizen's Reform parry asks ls a f?ll and orien discussion. We invite the representa? tive men of the Republican party to meet us before the people ID fair and open debate. We court the argument and pledge our speeches to show up the rottenness and corruption of the Radical party, or to yield the. contest. Heretofore the Republicans have had meet? ings, made speeches and statements, from which Democrats and Conservatives were ex? cluded, there being no one present to correct or contradict them. We do not propose to conduct the canvass in this way. We Invite 'discussion, and challenge the Radical party lo meet ns before the people. All we ask is a fairfield and no favor. If the Republican party ls guided by truth, justice and virtue, they need not fear au open discussion before the people, and.will not neglect this Invita? tion. Fraud an fl Corruption. [From the Barnwell Sentinel.] No people In the history of the world have been more deluded, deceived and cheated than the colored people of South Carolina. What has the present State Government done to benefit them ? Their best men have not been sent to represent them in the Legisla? ture ! Ihe native colored men selected for this purpose have generally been ignorant, most of them not being able to read or write. More than nlife-tenths ot the offices that pay have been appropriated by the carpet-baggers, white and colored, who have robbed thc State systematically, and to a frightful extent. Taxes have been raised enormously, to furnish these men with money to spend In extravagant living, fast horses and showy carriages. Look at our roads and bridges ! what has been done with all the money wrung out of the people by taxes? There is hardly a decent road in the district-contractors have received five hun? dred and a thousand dollars for bridges inferi? or to those that used to be put up for one-fifth of the amount now paid. We have not a de? cent room In which to hold court, and yet this Earty. confessing ita dishonesty. Its misrule, os the audacity to come before the people and ask to be re-elected. Their public speakers and presses acknowledge fraud and corrup? tion, and yet ask the people to continue them in office. Is it at all astonishing that white and colored Republicans and Democrats unite for reform ? TEE GREAT DROUGHT IN EUROPE. Effect on the American Market. A correspondent, writing from Purls on the 18lh instant In relation to the recent extensive drought throughout France and in other parts of Europe, says : The prospect ls In truth most discouraging. In many parts of France the .'armers are kil? ling their cattle from absolute want of food for them. Hay ls at such an exorbitant price that none but agriculturists of large means can afford to purchase it. .In the Corps L?gislatif yesterday, urgent appeals were made to the government by M. Corneille and other dep? uties to see that the orders issued to allow cattle to browse in the forests of the State and the Crown were promptly exe? cuted. It was affirmed that, owing lo the persistent drought and the Intense heat which accompanied lt, the animals were literally perishing of hunger close to forests In which the grasB was allowed to go to waste without profiting any one. M. Segrls, the Min? ister of Finance, stated that after the first in? terpellation was addressed to the government on this subject orders had been transmitted by telegraph authorizing over the whole extent of the forests ol' the State the gratuitous re? moval of the grass for the use of the large cat? tle, and also that they should be admitted within the limits of the forests themselves, wherever their Introduction was not likely to be attended with injnry to the trees. I give you these particulars in order to provo to you the extent of the evil, and the influence which it is likely to exercise on the prospects of American farmers for the next couple of years. If the grain crops In the United States turn out as abundant and of as good quality as some of the New York papers represent, the exportation from your side will be very large, and the balance of trade will be so considera? bly in your favor that you will soon be enabled to return to specie payments. It ls not from France merely that the drought Ia likely to create a large demand upon your cereal re? sources. The news received from Spain to-day In this connection ls very bad. In the prov? inces .of Leon, Valencia and Valadolid, the crops are entirely lost, owing to the want of rain, and a similar calamity is apprehended in the provinces usually most favored in this re? spect. A REMARKABLE SYNAGOGUE.-The Israelites of Turin are building a new place of worship, which, according to an account in Hie Puris Temps, is a very extraordinary affair: The most remarkable of all structures at Turin is the synagogue of the Israelites. It ls likely thu finest and richest synagogue in the world, and at the same time the mont remark? able monument of Turin. Upon a small square hill, with adapted stairs, stands a Greek tem? ple in white and pink. Above, a little back? wards, is a kind of second temple. The whole is traversed by galleries, adorned with small pillars und thousands of splendid embellish? ments. White and reddish colors predomi? nate, ll is Greek and Moorish-lt ls Romanic and Gothic; there is a blending of all styles, without overstraining and without bad taste. But what makes this structure something bizarre and unexpected is a massive tower, with pierced walls arising above this orna? mented, beautiful construction, reminding us Of Asia and Egypt, of Thebes, of Nineveh. Surely the architect of this building was gifted by Imagination. He was an able interpreter ol' ihe Hebrew dream ol' the temple to be erected et. the brink 01 a strange river. Never since the great destruction has Israel posses? sed a more magnificent edifice In which the hymns of David resounded. This building ls entirely fit for the talented Italian Jews, who are a power at the exchange, at the press and in the parliament. THE CKOPJ rs BARNWELL.- The Sentinel says : *'Sluce our last issue we have had sev? eral days of scorching hot and dry weather, and again the complaint comes up from many oi the planters that more rain 1B needed. In some parts of the district good crops, we hear, will be made, but Judging from what planters say generally, the crops, both of corn and cot? ton, will fall at least one-third short of last year." BLOODY BIOT I If NEW YORK. Rlbbonmen and Orangemen In Conflict -Desperate Fight In Elm Park-Sev? eral Killed and Many Wounded f North of Ireland Fends' Transferred j to New York. The New York Tribune of Wednesday gives the following particulars of the bloody Orange riots, of which we have already had brief men? tion by telegraph : The association of Orangemen celebrated yesterday the anniversary of the battle of the Boyne by a procession and a picnic at Elm Park, Ninety-second street, near Eighth ave? nue. The Orangemen started for the park, about 10 In the morning, and the procession, accompanied with banners and music, made quite a gay appearance along the streets. The banners were Inscribed with the names "Boyne," "Aughrim," "Derry," Ac., names odious to Irishmen, who can only see in them the humiliation of their race' and the over? throw of their nationality. Arrived at Fifty eighth street, the men marched by way of. the Boulevard to the park, to the music ofV'Crop ples, lie down," "The Boyne Water,"'"Protes? tant Boys,and such like airs, repugnant to those accustomed to celebrate St. Patrick's Day In Belfast, Lurgan, Downnatrick, and other cities and towns in the north of Ireland. A large number of men, mostly Irish Rlb? bonmen, with a few Orangemen, were work? ing on the Boulevard, but no demonstration of any kind was made, and the procession march? ed in quiet to the ground. In a short time arter the procession had passed, however, an Incipient disturbance took place on the Boule? vard between the sympathizers with those in the procession and their opponents. Two or three of the men at work there got into a wrangle, which ended without anything more serious than words. The Incident was only significant tu the light o? the tragic events which subsequently occurred. It showed that the fell spirit of faction which led to so many bloody deeds in days gone by on the 12th of July in Ireland, was kindled in . the breast of the laborers. In a brief time after this little row, the whole body ot Boulevard men, as if by common consent and preconcerted action, quitted work, and, each carrying whatever tools he was working with, they went in a body toward Elm Park, where the Orangemen, with their wives and daughters, were enjoy? ing themselves. This was about hall-post 3 in the afternoon. Within the park there were perhaps 2000 or 3000 persons, men. women and children, all In the very height ot hilarious enjoyment. The Boulevard men and a large number of others who Joined them, numbering in all, at various estimates, from 70 to 200 men, then suddenly attacked those In thepark, es? pecially the men wearing regalia. They first threw In volleys o? etonesacross tho Inclosures. Those within instantly retaliated, but finding themselves hampered rushed ont of the en? closure on their antagonists, and the fight be? came general. The women and children, In consternation, endeavored, with but poor suc? cess, to get as far from the scene of action as possible, and sought refuge in any nook that offered promise of shelter. Tho combat became desperate, bloody and deadly, and spread within and around the Park, and as tar eastward as Eighth avenue. The Bouvelard men, several ol' whom had burst Inside the Park, used their picks, ham? mers, and other toois which they had ; pistol firing became general, and the bullets were as plentiful and still more deadily than the stones which were thrown. The scene of carnage would have gone on with even more terrine results than ensued, and there is no knowing where lt would have stopped, had not a largo reinforcement of police, appeared. Every weapon that could kill or mutilate was brought into requisition, and for two hours the battle bid fair to outrival that from which the bad blood and ill feeling arose. Sergeant Kelly, of the Thirty first Precinct, arrived with a platoon of police, and, separating the combatants, drove the Orangemen back into the Park, and the Btb bonmen down Eighth avenue. Another de? tachment of Rlbbonmen here came upon the scene, but were soon driven across the Cen? tral Park by the Orangemen, who had again sallied forth. The latter separated lato large parties and pursued their opponents through the Park and down Ninety-first street to Ninth avenue, and up to Ninety-fourth street, where they were again turned back. The police then succeeded In getting a great many of them into Eighth avenue cars and started them down town, when several of the cars were at? tacked at'Ninetieth street and almost com? pletely demolished. Stones and pistol bullets were tired through the windows into cars lite? rally packed with men, women and children, and the fire was liberally returned from the, inside. In car No. 54 was picked up a large stone with blood on it. In car No. 74 was found a huge lump ot rock which is preserved at the Eighth avenue depot, superintendent's office. A large stone came whizzing through the win? dow of another car, struck a woman who hod a child in her arms, on the side of the head, in? flicting a terrible gash on her face, and the child dropped from her. This woman having recovered sufficiently went home, being an Instance of those casualties which did not come to the knowledge of the police. A man with his face all bloodv and terribly bruised was met walking down" Eighth avenue. Probably he got home also without being noticed by the police. From Ninetieth street to Eighty-sixth street the light was hot, notwithstanding the efforts of the police to maintain order. In the meantime the left wing of the Orangemen had driven their foes through Central Park to Fifth avenue, but were there hended off by the police of the Twenty-fifth precinct, and turned back to Elnath avenue, where they joined the main body," who had left thc cars, and by force of numbers pressed their assailants down Eighty-sixth street to Ninth avenue. Here both parties, acting on the experience gained in their riots of July, 1803, went into a war of mutual extermination, and would possibly have been successful but for the arrival of fresh platoons of police, who, also remem? bering their exploits in the 1S63 riot, put the contestants to flight. At this point lt is stated that forty people were injured, some seriously. The total casualties, as lar as ascertained, are three killed and between one and two hundred wounded. TUE NEW PATENT LAW.-The act of Con: ! gress "to revise, consolidate and amend the | statutes relating to patents "and copyrights,'* which, by the signature of the President a few days since, has become a law, repeals all for? mer statutes on thc subject. It retains nearly all essential features of the old law, but makes the following changes therein : All applications must now be prosecuted within two yeai-s after any action has been had thereon bv the office, or they will be regarded as abandoned. Applications which have been rejected or withdrawn prior to the passage or this act must be renewed or prosecuted within six months, or they will be considered as aban? doned. Applications for reissues must, in all cases, be made by the inventor, if living. Where a patent is relused on application for any reason whatever, either by the commis? sioner or an appeal, thc applicant may have remedy by bill In equity In any United States Circuit Court, and ir the court And that he is entitled to a paten:, the commissioner will be authorized to issue thc saune. Certified copies from the Patent Office of for? eign patents on record therein shall be re? ceived as legal evidence respecting such patents. An alien is no longer required to work his patent within eighteen months. A trade mark may be patented for thirty years upon payment of twenty-five dollars lo the office, and the patent may be extended be .fore it expires. All matters relating to copyrights are placed under Hie exclusive control of the librarian ot Congress. The law also provides for an assistant com? missioner ol patents, and Hon. Samuel M. Dun? can, of New Hampshire, one of the chief ex? aminers In the office, has been nominated for the position. _ -A Berlin oorresiiondeut says that "if yon were to hear the Prussians talk you would think them all Americans in their progression and valor, and like our own countrymen they believe themselves invincible." -It is repotted from the Indian Territory that the chiefs who lately visited Washington are exerting a good influence generally, and particularly over some parties wno were about to take thc war path. FRENCH JEALOUSY OF PRUSSIA. Debate in the Corps L?gislatif- Re? markable Speech of M. Thier?. During the debate relative to the army, on the 30th ult, In the French Corps L?gislatif, M. Thiers spoke as follows : I beg pardon of the Chamber.for intervening In a discussion in which the Minister of War has given ample information. I do not come therefore, to enlighten the subject, but to ful? fil the duty of a good citizen. I cannot be Impeached by any one. for I have always de? fended liberties that I deemed necessary; and recently, I did not fear to vote with a minority of 35 against a majority of 200. I know how to persist in my own opinions; but I say to my honorable friends of the Opposition that they deceive themselves in this matter. Certainly the good faith ot BO one ls questioned, but I adjure you not to go astray on this grave mat? ter. You have done me the honor of recalling that I was applauded some years ago, but I was applauded without being heard. [Laugh? ter.] We must submit to the consequences of the faults we have committed. I hear lt constantly asked, -Why not explain the policy of Europe ?" But that policy ls evident. We wish for peace because war to-day would be universal, entailing frightful calamities. Guilty in the eyes of civilization, ot humanity, of history and of France, would be those who would have the imprudence to occasion lt But why la peace maintained? It is because you are strong. [Tr?s bien ! tr?s bien!} I have always attentively observed tbe state of Europe, especially since the unfortunate events ot 1866. Welt when the Luxembourg auestton was raised France was not in a posi? on to make herself respected. I did not al way s approve the measures taken by Marshal Nell, but lt must be acknowledged that he ren? dered great services to bis country, and that peace ls due to his armaments. If you desire peace, remain strong. [Tr?s bien.} It ls ask? ed, why not give the example o? disarmament? Here lt is necessary to reflect Reflection ls the base of the question. I hear lt said un? ceasingly, "we are on a war footing." That is wrong, we are not on a war footing, and if a minister of war should speak of disarmament, I would say to him that he is imprudent and Ignorant. But we are told, disarm and you will be imitated. Well I when every one in Europe-I should say nearly every one-desires peace, why have we no Invitations to disarm ? Why has that word pronounced three years ago found no echo ? Do you think lt ls on account of 111 will or Idle malice ? Not at all. It is believed that Prussia ls on an extraor? dinary war footing. It ls no more true ot her than of ourselves. But no account is taken of j the past. Formerly Prussia had 19,000,000 ot men at her disposal. How many has she to? day, with the treaties of alliance, defensive and offensive, binding on the Southern States ? She has over 40,000,000. Do not deny the chances c meed by tho even*8 of 1866. In place of a federal Germany, organized (or peace, all-powerful for defence, powerless for attach, you nave a formidable military power. At its head is a supenor man, who is peaceable to-day, and not disposed to dibturb the world, but be has 40,000,000 men at bis control. In the face of this force wo must havoanew military organization There is patriotism ou all the benches of this Chamber; but patriotism is not snffioieift. To be de? ceived in this matter would be worse than to want patriot'em. [Tr?s bien ! tr?s bien .'] I ?vae in Austria wben tbe war budget WSB nu? der discussion. Wby did Austria, with a cour? ageous nod devoted army, meet with great reverses? lt was because imprudent reduc? tions in tbe budget bad rendered it impossible for tho government to maintain tbe military force of the country on au ample basis, and prepare it for emergencies. [It is trueA We must not commit similar blunders. To the faull B the government has made ii the past, let us not add the faults of the Opposition. We will do so if we disguise the necessities of | j the times, if we think that it depends on us to canse other powers to disarm For Prussia to disarm, she should not only reduce her own army, but break up the Northern Confedera? tion, and the treaty w,th Wurtemburg, Bava? ria,, and other States. The Confederation and tbe treaties foi m her armament, sud ene will not despoil herself of them. To speak of disarmame A ia to cherish a chimera. [Move? ment] All the world is on a peacj footing, bot Prassia is doubly so. I am for peaoe. but to have peace we must remain strong. If you exam:ne closely you will find that with the nine contingents of tbs present law you can scarcely make a sufficient army. 1 would pre? fer the law of 1831, with seven contingents or 100,000 men. and I hope it will be re? vived, but nader the present circumstances a contingent of 90 000 is scarcely sufficient. We must not cherish illusions; it is on that account I adjure every ona to think of the gravity of the situation, andi beg yon to do your duty as Bi mud patriots and Frenchmen. [Applanse.l In replying to tho comments on this speech, M. Thiers said: You talk about civilizitioo, philosophy, and tbe mutual in'eieels of trade uniting peoples to-day. But di yon think that mankind has cu msc J in three years ? Did philosophy pre? vent the Prussian'army from marching on Vt enua? And wheo the occasion presented itself to change the face of Europe, did it prevent Prussia from using it? Ido homage to the boldness and courage of M. de Bismarck, who did not fear, when the moment came, to fall on Au-tria. He ia to-dav posceabla, but wby? It nos asked awhile ago who owned South Ueroauy; I answer the wisest. Behold wby M. da bismirck is pacific 1 If he showed the same ambition as tbreo years ago be wiuld have all the South against bim. since it baa become notorious that Fiance no longer covets the Rhine, the natural distinctions which di? vide Ger nany aro reawakening; ber patriotism feels assured. Let us then bj pacific in order to givo the Sontb to Prussia. In the course of the debate M. Thiers added: Nothing ie moro dreadful than to xiii a na? tion to arms. Torrents of blood aro tbuj shed, because no wars are more destructive and bloody than conflicts betweon inexperienced armies. Why did the American war cost so muoh blood and money? Why did it continue five years? Because it was a war of popula? tion against population. It would not have continued one year if it was oetween armies reguhrly constituted. M. Gamier-Pages. And Sadowa. M. liners. Why did Sadowa give the world I-an unexampled spectacle? All was ready at Berlin; it was not so at Vienna. It is ibus that empires perish. In conclusion he enid : Do not forget Sadowa. Lot us not be refused an army, which we might have done without before, but which we cannot do without after Sadowa. [Warm approbation on eevernl benchcB.j ni. Ollivier declared tbatpeac? was not likely to he disturbed, and said tbat the Plebiscitum rendered negotiation abroad eaev. In order to render peace certain there should be a cordial and ardent feeling of harmony between the nation and her sovereign. .fertilisers.

CURBS CBOLIC, CHOLERA INFANTUM, DYSENTERY, AMD ALL DISEASES TO WHICH CHILDREN ARB SUBJECT WHEN TEETHING. CONTAINS NO ANODYNE. RUSSELL'S SOOTHING CORDIAL is offered to the public with an absolnte guarantee against au danger from its use. Read the following certifi? cates: CHARLESTON, May 16,1868. Mr. J. B. RUSSELL, one of oar careful and intel? ligent Pharmaceutists and Apothecaries, has sub? mitted to my examination the formula for the preparation of a Soothing Cordial prepared and vended by him. It affords me pleasure to express a favorable opinion of its safe and efficient adaptation to the* particular cases of the diseases of children, which lt ls designed to relieve. E. GEDDINGS, M. D. Having had occasion to prescribe RUSSELL'S Soothing Cordial in severe cases of Bowel Com? plaints In children and delicate females, I have been much pleased with its effects. I consider it a vamable medicine in all cases, m which it may he advisable to avoid the use of anodyne, and par? ticularly for family use, as it is perfectly aafe. W. T. WRAGG, M. D CHARLESTON. S. C.. 1868. I certify that I have most successfully used RUSSELL'S Soothing Coi dial m the Summer Com? plaints of infants. He has fully exhibited the In? gredients of h ls remedy, and the tedious method of preparation. I recognize the prescription containing no anodyne whatever-as a moat safe and efficacious one in bowel affections of children. When much pain or restlessness attends the affec? tion, doses of Paregoric can be added to the pre scribed doses of the Cordial according to the age or the patient. The compound, though more often, acts in an efficient manner without any ad? dition of anodyne. In the Diarrhoea of the aged. In Increased doses, lt is of great value as a remedy; never disagree? ing with the stomach-Increasing appetite, im? proving digestion, and acting as a slow but effi? cient astringent agent. W. M FITCH, M. D CHARLESTON, S. e., 1868. Dear Sir-I have used your Soothing Cordial for Diarrhoea in teething children, and find it a very excellent preparation. It has a great advantage over most preparations of the kind In containing no Opium or Narcotic. When these are required they can be added in. proportions applicable to the case. I therefore can recommend Its use In the affec? tions for which it is designed. Respectful^ vours. Ac., ' T. L. OGLER, M. D" MOUNT PLEASANT, S. C., 1888.. Afr. J. B. Russell : DEAR SIB-I have used your Soothing Cordial \ for children extensively in my practice, and most ! cheerfully testiTy to Its merits. I have found lt,. without an exception, to accomplish all lt claims, and const 'er it superior to anything in use for children. Its freedom from anodyne of any kind recom? mends it as a perfectly aafe preparation in tue hands of mothers and Inexperienced nurses. Very respectfully, Ac., D. ft. WILLIAMS, M. D. Made by J. B.
