._ - - WASHINGTON, March 20.-Fjjrry, stating that it was not probable Ihe House would agree to tba Senate proposal for a Select ^ Committee to consider applications for ibo rem o ral of disabilities, moved to refer them to the Committee op the Judiciary, which was done. Subsequently Robertson's reso? lution for the appointment of a Select Se? nate Committee of Seven was agreed to, and applications will be referred to it. In the Senate, McDonald introduced a bill to aid in constructing the railroad from the junction of the Mississippi and Missouri Rivers to the Mexican border. A Commit? tee of Seven was appointed on political dis? abilities, with Robertson as chairman. Ad? journed. The appointment of Robertson as chair? man of the Committee on the Removal of Political Disabilities, indicates n stringent examination of all cases, and favorable to only a few. Robertson recently remarked, regarding reports in South Carolina papers, that he was tending towards Democrat, that in that ho and his colleague wero fully ns radical as ever.

Some new scenes have recontly been add? ed to the "Grand Duchess of Gerolstein." One of these scenes is the examination of the conscripts. Ono of them is asked by the examining physician: "Are yon able bodied?" "No," says the conscript, "I am not." "What is your complaint?" "Tho same as that of our country-I have a bad constitution." Since the great draft riot iu Now York, the negro population of that city has fallen off about three thousand. At the present time it numbers between 13,000 and 14,000, all told. Among the better class aro a few doctors, (at least they call themselves doc? tors,) two or three editors, about a dozen preachers, aud a couple of lawyers, so called. There is a mania for committing suicide prevailing at present. OL Tuesday, a mau named Albert Rolla committed suicide in Baltimore. On Wednesday, a German, named Norman Schafer, killed himself, in Rochester; and on Thursday, Albert Shock? ley put an end to himself, in Boston. A plot is reported as haviug been disco? vered in Memphis, among tho negroes, for tho purpose of destroying the town of Hele? na, Tenn., and thoy had confessed to hav? iug committed the murder of General Hind man.

EPITOB; Who ia Rudolph Paul^ that th? despatches represent as an ex-Oonfede rate officer now commanding a detachment in Cuba? I ask yon for information, as a few of the rank and file of the late army are speaking of joining him. I am inclined to believe that he is perhaps Carl Shurz, the notorious "Red Republican" of blissful memory, and warn our braves to take heed, lest the announcement may be intended as an entrapment to procure their services. I would advise patience on the part of our young men, and infinitely prefer them, if ever necessary, to give the wink across the water, as alluded to in your leader of yes? terday morning.

Warranted puro. Hou. David Houser, State Senator from Orango bnrg, writes as follows concerning thu "Dickson Improved Cotton Seed:" ST. MATTHEW'S, S. C., February 15, 1800. A. P. AMAREB, ESQ.: Tho "Dickson Improved," obtaimd of you last spring, turned out moro cot? ton per acre" than any other I have ever planted, except tho samo variety of seed planted by mo before tho war, which were lost hy Sherman's in? cendiaries. DAVID HOUSER. A. P. AM AK ER, St. Matthew's, S. C. March 21 BEER ! THE Commissioner of Agriculture, in his report for tho year 1H(>5, speaks as follows: "There can bo no doubt of the general adulte? ration of all malt liquors. In England and other countries, where heavy penalties are imposed, and an increasing vigilance practiced to detect and punish such frauds, by a system of inspection of all malt liquors manufactured before exposed to sale, thc practico ia very common. How much more in this country, where there arc no laws on the subject, and no officer to carefully analyze tho products of the brewery? Somo years ago, Pro? fessor Mapes, of New York, analyzed tho beer from a dozen different breweries," and all were found adulterated with noxious substances. It is said that tho salo of drug? to brewers, is a prolit ablo part of tho trade. This is perfectly infamous. Cocculus indicus, (fish-berry,) mix v?mica, (dog button, from winch strychnine is obtained,) are some of thc delectable substances found in beer! These arc potent poisons, and thc brewer found usiug them shoHld be drowned at once in one of his own vats. The British Parliament passed a law to provent this nefarious business. The fol? lowing is an extract: 'No druggist, vendor of or dealer in drugs, or chemist, or any other person, j shall sell or deliver to any licensed brewer, dealer In or retailer of beor, knowing them te bo such, or shall sell or deliver to any person on account : of, orin trust for, any such Grower, dealer, or re- 1 tailer, any liquor called by the name of or sold for ' coloring, from whatever material tho same may bc made; or any material or preparation other than unground brown malt, for tho darkening the 1 color of worts or boor, or any molasses, vitriol, honey, quassia, cocculus indiens, grains of paru- : disc, Quinen popper, or opium, or any extract <>r preparation of molasses, or any article or prepa? ration to bc need in worts or beer for o' ? a sub? stitute for malt oi hops; and if any dr? ist shall offend in any of these particulars, snell prepara- | lion, Ac, ?bail bo forfeited, and may be seized by any oflicor Of excise, and the person sn offending shall forfeit jive h 'noir, ?/ pounds.'' "Under this law, very many druggists and brew? ers were brought to grief, and yet tin- practice continues. Unless thu American public arc roady to admit the immaculate purity and innocence of American browors, they must" be content, while drinking their beer, to cherish the belief that they are at thc samo time guzzling some narcotic poi? son or damaging medicino. In view of the unpre? cedented growth of the barley crop; of tho great increase of the number of maltsters and brewers; of the vast unknown quantities of beor that aro drunk in every city and almost every town on the continent; it is the dictate of sound wisdom, that the attention of legislators should bo called to the subject of the adulteration . ' aalt liquors, and severo penalties should be inflicted asa pre? ventive." P. S.-Judge for yourself! Mv Reer is pure. March IR JOHN' C. SEEUERS.
