WASHINGTON, July 8.-lu thc House, a large number of bills were introduced and referred without de? bate. The Committee on Elections reported that no person who had given aid or comfort to the rebellion should be allowed to swear in ; but disloyalty of constituents, or illegali? ty of elections, should not prevent members from holding certificates and swearing. The report was laid on the table and ordered to be print? ed. A resolution calUng for the pro? ceedings in the Cabinet on recon? struction passed-103 to 26. Mr. Butler moved that a specinl committee of five, with powers to send for persons and papers, bo ap? pointed to investigate the assassina? tion proceedings, and that tho com? mittee promise tho protection of tho Houso to accomplices who have not been tried or sentenced, who may give valuable ovidence. The rules were suspended and tho resolution passed.

SEC. 2. That tho said Acts to which this is a supplement, shall bo con strncted to authorize the officer as signed to tho command of any mili tary district, under said Acts, when ever ho shall deem it necessary to the duo performance of his duties nndei said Act, to remove or BUSpend fron offico any municipal or State officer or person exercising authority unde: or by authority of any so-called Stab Government existing in his district and the said officer assigned to tin command as aforesaid, is hereby cm powered to n2>poiut another person ii tho stead of the officer or person si removed, if he shall deem proper s< to do; and whenever he may deem i necessary as aforesaid to prohibit suspend or set aside any Act or pro ceeding of any such State or munioi pal government, or any act or thin: ! dono under or by authority of its au thorities; and all acts heretofore don by any such officer in accordance herc with, shall be deemed valid. SEC. 8. That tho Boards of Bogil tratiou of tho several military districl established by tho Acts to which thi is.supplementary, shall admit to regit tratiou only such persons as the deem entitled to be registered, by th Acts aforesaid; they shall not regar tho taking of tho oath prescribed i tho Act ot* March 23, 1807, as conch sive evidence of the person taking to bo registered, but prima facie oub and may receive such evidence und? oath relating thereto as they mt deem proper, either from the perso applying to be registered or other and either of the members of sai Boards is hereby authorized to adm nister oaths or affirmations and e: amino witnesses, touching tho rig] of any person to bo registered; sa Boards of Registration may st ri! from the list of voters the namo any one already registered, w ho, their judgment, improperly took tl oath prescribed in tho Acts to whi< this is supplementary, or as not en! tied by said Acts to be registered; tl record of evidence shall not bo i quired by said Boards, to prove thc participation in the rebellion, but \ role evidence shall be sufficient establish tho fact of such part ici r tion; and said Boards of Rogistrati shall not bo bound or governed their action by any opinion of ai officer of the United States Govei mont. SEC. 4. That no civil court of t United States, or of any State, sh have jurisdiction cf any action proceeding, civil or criminal, ngaii any such District Commander, or a officer or person acting by his ; thority, for or on account of the il charge of tho duties imposed np him by this Act, or thc Acts to whi it is supplementary.

SEC. 0. That the time for thc cc pletion of tho registration of perst properly qualified to vote, may extended by orders of the said sc ral District Commanders to nny c prior to tho first day of Octob Anno Domini 1807.

The right of any pen to be registered as a legal voter si in no respect be changed or effected by the President's pardon for partici? pation in rebellion. Mr. Stevens moved the previous question, and the House votes to? morrow, at 1 o'clock. Adjourned. In the Senate; Mr. Trumbull, from the Judiciary Committee, introduced a bill on reconstruction. The Senate, by a voto of 36 to 5, refused to take up tho joint resolu? tion, thanking Genorals Sheridan, Sickles, Schofield and Pope. Mr. Grimes thought it would be very premature to pass these resolutions at this time. They were not sn iii - cieutly informed of the merits of the case, to bo ablo to judge; formerly tho thanks of Congress were only tendered on extraordinary occasions, and it was considered a great compli? ment to any ono to recoivo them; but if this kind of precedent was to bo established, thc>3- would next be ten? dering thanks to tho governors of the territories and to tho governors of our uew Russian possessions. Several other ineffectual efforts to introduco general legislation failed, when tho Senate adjourned. The fellowing is section second of tho bill reported by the Senate Ju? diciary Committee: That the true intent and meaning of the oath prescribed in said supple? mentary Act is, among other things, that no person who has been a mem? ber of tho Legislature of any State, or who has held any executive or ju? dicial oflice in any State, who has taken an oath to support the Consti? tution of tho United States or not, and who has afterwards engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the United Slates, or given aid or comfort to tho enemies thereof, is entitled to bo registered or to vote, and the words, "executive or judicial oflice in any State," in said oath mentioned; shall bo construed to include all civil offices created by law for tho admin? istration of tho several laws of the State.

A club of loyal men. recently or? ganized at Hilton Head, S. C., is called the "Lincoln Club," and no.w numbers 150 members.

Last Monday was salo day, aud a duller one we have never seen-very few persons in attendance. Several tracts of land were sold by tho she? riff, at the suit of the State, for taxes, which did not bring enough to pay tho costs.-Barnwell Sentinel. A Mississippi planter says that a belt of oats, ten feet in width, around a cotton field will protect tho cotton from tho worm. If true, it ii a pity this information had not boon sooner communicated to tho public. The freedmen in Arkansas are said to have eclipsed the army of Flanders, when they lirst learned that they had to pay a tax of three cents pur pound on their part of the cotton crop. Thc Independence (Mo.) Messenger excuses a scarcity of local items by the statement that there have oc? curred but "two murders and two or three weldings" in the vicinity dur? ing the week. The Atlantic cotton mills of Law? rence, Mass., employ 2,000 hands, and turn out 60,000 yards of cloth daily. The pay-roll of lost month nmouuted to i?33,000.

Tho ladies put paregoric into the ice cream, at a strawberry festival, in Cincinnati, to prevent injurious ef? fects. The effects were not injurious, but ludicrous. A correspondent of tho New Or? leans Pioniune writes from New Mexico, that tho Indians have adopt? ed the fashion of skinning their cap? tives alive. A venerable Hubbist who saw President Johnson's entry into Bos? ton on Saturday, saw also President Washington's in 1789.

HElXITSirS OLEEX'S DELIGHT. Liver Complaint Cured bv Queen's Relight. rTHIH symptoms of Liver Complaint are JL uneasiness and pain in the right sido, ami soreness upon touch immediately under tho inferior ribs; inability to lie upon the left side, or, if at all, a dragging lousation is produced which seriously affects respiration, causing, very often, a troublesome cough. Together with these symptoms, wo perceive a coated tongue, acidity of tho stomach, deficiency of per? spiration, and sometimos a sympathetic nain in the shoulder, with a great disposi? tion to sloop, and depression of spirits, and sometimes sores in the mouth or throat. These symptoms, if permitted to con ti imo, will ovontually produce consump? tion, the most baneful of all diseases. Dyspepsia. The symptoms of Dyspepsia aro various; those affecting the stomach aro nausea, heart-burn, loas of appetite, disgust for food, sometimes a depraved appetito, sense of fulness or weight in tho stomach, sinking or flattering in tho pit of the sto? mach, sour eructations, coated toDgue, acidity of tho stomach, hurried and diffi? cult breathing, Ac. The svmpathotie affections are very di? versified-cold feet, pain or weakness through the limbs, swimming of thu head, sudden flushes of boat, Ac. The uso of tho QUEEN'S DELIGHT should bo persevered in until every symp? tom of Dyspepsia ha-j vanished, and health is entirely restored. Derangements of the Liver and Stomach Arc sources of insanity. From disorder or obstru ;tion, a morbid action of the sym? pathetic and other nerves follows, and the functions of tho brain are impaired and derangod; derangement there will also produce disease ol' the heart, skin, lungs and kidneys. It is owing to the samo cause that thousands die with Cholera, Bilious or Yellow Fever, and that most baneful disease, Consumption. Tho origin of numerous oases of Con? sumption is impaired digest ion; and many, many canes of supposed Consumption could be entirely cured bv tho uso of thc QUEEN'S DELIGHT, as tho emaciation, dobilit) and cough attending weaknoss of the digestive organs aro so near allied to tim symptoms of Consumption, that tho one disease is frequently mistaken for tho other. Notice. It is a well-citablishod fact that fully one-half of the femalo portion of our population aro seldom in the enjoyment of good health, <>r, to use their own expres? sion, "never feed well." Ti.ey aro languid, devoid of all energy, extremely nervous anti have no appetite To this class of invalids, the Qucon's Delight is especially recommended. Their peculiar tonic and invigorating properties reuder it invalua? ble ia such cases. Thc patient should im? mediately discard all pills and powders, as they only weaken the system, and resort to tho USO of the Queen's* Delight, thc inva? riable result of which will be a strong and hearty constitution, a disappearanco of all nervousness, a good appetite and a perfect restoration to health. Weak and delicate children arc made strong hy using tho Queen's Delight. In fact; it is a Family Medicino; ;L can ho ad? ministered with perfect r.afety to a child three months old, tho most delicate femalo or a man of ninetv.
