SARSAPARILLIAN is only one of the ingredi ents that forms this truly wonderful medicine; and it is the only compensating remedy that communi cates its purifying. cleansing and reinvigorating properties through the BLOOD, SWEAT, URINE, and other secretions. securing a harmonious func tional action of every depraved organ and gland in the system.

Direct remedies pos- sessing only exclasive properties, are hurtful. as they imcrease the functional secretions of one organ by euspending the constituent secretions of ethers; hence, a compensating remedy like the Resolvent is the only means of a permanent cure.

DreaProintay APPLIcaNTs.—The statement which appeared in the Star of yesterday, to the effect that a number of appointments of female employes were to be made in the Treas- ury Department, appears to have been miscon- strned by many of our readers: in consequence of which there was a large crowd of applicants at the appointment office this morning, all of whom were disappointed, as the appointments had all been determined upon. All vacancies are now filled, and it is useless to make appli- cation, As no More appointments can be made, In CLovER—The prediction we ventured to make some time since to the effect that the Princess Salm-Salm would most likely reach a high social position in Europe seems te be on the point of fulfillment. We note by late for- eign advices that, on account of the heroism displayed by her in Mexico in behalf of Maxi- milian, the imperial tamily of Austria have taken her under its protection, and placed a handsome competency at her disposal. This, for & Canadian ballet dancer, 1s pretty good. SxoppERy.—A dinner party was given in New York last week which was waited on by Waiters dressed in “the English style—crimson coats, knee breeches, silk stockings and pow- dered wigs,” and the table cloth was of “white velveteen, edged with gilt fringe.” The only rede« ming feature of this superlative tomtool- ery ts that the lady who gave the party desired the reporter not to mention her name. Ant.—Mr. Coggswell, whose picture of Gen. Grant and family, painted some time since, justly attracted such favorable notice, has re- cently completed a most excellent portrait of Gen. Sheridan, which may be seen at French & Richardson's. The likeness is most striking, and the picture as a whole must add to the al- ready high professional reputation of the artist. MATRIMONIAL.—It is announced that Miss Dix, daughter of our Minister at Paris, is about to return home to be united in marriage to a gentleman of Brooklyn. Miss D. is a great favorite in Parisian society, and her with- drawal therefrom looked forward to with regret. AvsENT.—Hon. S. B.

Referred to Com- mutiee on Foreign Relations. Mr. Edmunds made a report from the Qom- mivee of Conference on the joint resolution provix fog that monks accruing from the sale of captured and abandon d property shall be ito the Treasury. Mx. Edmunds said the appropriation of 8100,0.0 to enable the Secr-tary of the Treasury to defend suits brought against hun was re- duced to $75,040. The report of the Commitee Was concurred in. . = pres the bill to incorporate the Evenmg Star jewspaper Company. Also, trom the same Committee, bill to incor- porate the National Life Insurance Company. ‘Mr, Davis offered a resolution calling ov the Secretary of the Treasury for the amount of funds outstanding; at what rate of mtervst, and the value of cach class in gold at the date of their issue. ‘Mr. Sherman said this was an important in- ry, and it had better go over. On motion of Mr. Edmunds, the President Was requested to inform the Senate whether be bas established any new Military district «ince August, 1-67, and if so what district, and under it statute ? Sherman called up the of the Com- mittee of Conference on the bili to exempt cer- tain manufactures from Internal tax. Mr. Nye opposed the adoption of the report, as calculated to do inyustice to the distillers. Mr. Frelinghursen understood that the adop- tion of this report would be to close up every distillery in ten days. Mr. Sherman said it would certainly give the power to the Commissioner of Laternal Revenue to do it. Mr. Nye said one effect would be to deprive the Government of all revenue from this source,and the other would be to fill ap the penitentiaries with Government officials, Mr. Howe.—That would be a good thing. Mr. Nye said it was a most dangerous pro- | vision, and it would be derogatory to this Government to be fillmg up the country with bee He had never been in a distillery in his life, and had no friends who were distillers, but be could not consent to the provision of this Committee of Conference, Mr. Morrill, of Vt, was in favor of stringent Teguiations in reference to distilleries, as he id not believe there was an honest distilier in the United States. He thought, however, that the provision in this report was too severe, aud he would suggest another committee of con- | ference. Mr. Sherman said it was useless to have Another commutter of conference, as this whole matter had been thoroughly discussed. Mr. Morton objected to the forfeiture of the distilleries and the penalties prescribed as un- necessary. There were one hundred penal- ties now, and the trouble was not that, but that the law was not enforced. Mr. Fessenden said the Commissioner of La- ternal Revenue would not be able to atten | to the duties imposed upon bim by this section He (Mr. F ) had, however, no sympathy for the men whu were engaged in this business, and who would avail themselves of all the loopholes of escape furnished them by the Liw He believed that the eyil might be mitigated if the tax Was reduced. Mr. Howard would like to know whether it ‘was the intention of the commitiee to impose tax upon flourand lumber by the terms of the fourth section. Mr. Fessenden said it imposed a tax upon everything which was formerly excepted. iF. Sherman said itincluded all mauufac- tures except butter and cheese. The debate was in progress when our report closed. Hovse oF Kerresextatives.—M Horn (Mo.) mtroduced bills making app: = ations for naval service for the current fixcal year, and also in relation to the reorganization | oi the Navy Department. Referred to Com- mittee on Naval Affairs, Mr. Pike (Me.) introduced a bill to equalix the grades of afficers in the Nayy. ferred to Committee on Naval Affairs, On motion of Mr. Farnewoi ta. (II.) the con- sideration of private business was postponed and the House resumed the consideration of the bill for the admission of Alabama Mr. Asbley (Ohio) proposed as a substitute for Mr. Spsiding’s bill, a bill substantially the same as that of Mr. Spalding, except tha: au Additional section 1s proposed providing that Ajabams may regain her position in the Union upon condition that there is made part of ber constitution a clause, irrevocable except by consent of Congress, that the said * tate consti- tution shall never be so altered or amended as | to operate for a denial or abridgement of the elective franchise to persons entitled to it under the present constitution. Mr. Kerr (Ind.) proceeded to address the House 1m opposition to the bill, He reviewed the remarks of Mr. Farnsworth upon the bill the other diy, and insisted that from his (Mr. F."s) argument alone it could be shown thai the | House would violate ite own laws directing how reconstruction should be perfected by passing this bill. He denied that this constitu. tion which Congress proposed to accept was the constitution of or for the people of Ala. bama. It was a constitution framed by thic Radical Congress, and by 8 handful of Loyal Leagers and others. He contended that this bill ‘was no better now than was the bill first intro- duced the other day, and of which Mr. Ste. bimeelf had said he could not vote for, because it would not be doing that sort of Iegisiauye justice which the people demanded. He quoted trom some of Mr. Stevens’ speeches, made a year or two ago, to show that he was now dis- posted to eat, to swallow, and to spit upon the words he bad then enunciated. It was Con. gress, and not the people of Alabamu that now roposed to make & constitution for that State. Tr'howas proposed to make this constitation only for the government of the negroes of Aln- bama he would have ro objection, but he de- nied that this constitution was approved by even the most meager portion ef the white people of the State. He then proceeded to re- view Mr. Spaulding’s proposed substivete, ‘and said that the secend section of that bill not only propoted to violate the law of Congress re- quiring a majority of the registered voter: to adopt & constitution, but, it also proposed to violate the very constitution of Alabama itself. Reterring to the last clvuse of the bill as report- ed by Mr. Farnsworth, and which prescribed certain ecnditions precedent to the admission x » Mr. Kerr argued that under such aclanse the State could not claim an equality in the family of States, for any such condition brought her into the Union ina condition of degradation. But it is said that all this legi-la- tion is for the better government of the South- ern States. The Leiter government of the rebel States! If this subject were not one of such graye importance, such a proposition would be ggprly ridiculous and absurd. It should be ‘object of Congress, in giving these South. ern States governments, to give them good gov- erpments; but that could not be done if the rinciple announced in this bill was to prevail, jor the constitution of the State contained pro. visions utterly irreconcilable with the theor; or Government os the United States. He to that provision of the constitution which presented a test oath, because he argued that test oaths were irreconcilable with ideas of republican liberty, and all freemen in ev: uge had looked with horror upon te.t oaths.

A Case of Heroism. The New York Tritun- relates the following instance of rare beromm which occurred du- Ting the severe storm of the visi: About 5 o'clock a m. of Saturday, a canal boat, moored at the end of the bulkhead of the draw m Harlem Railroad bridge, at Spuyten Duy vil, was swamped and sunk by the heavy seas, The captain and his wite were the ouly persons on board. -As the boat sank under them the former grasped his wife, and With a repe succerded in lashiag her to a spile: then placing himself to windward of her, so as to break the force of the driving snow and the waves which alternately dashed over them, there clung for five successive ours; refusing to leave her and save bimsel which he could easily have done by swimmi About dayhght they were disco in the perilous position. It was impossible to reach them by way of the pier, it being entirely sub- merged by the unusual tide. No boat being within reach which could live in the heavy sea then running, a shad boat was brought from a distance, and attempts made to reach them. ‘Several times the boat was forced ont to within & few feet of the sufferers, and the man @s often ' stretched out his arm to grasp it; buteach ume it was hurled back by the tremendous seas, and the brave fellows in charge of ber became almost dixcouraged. About o'clock @ young gentleman, a re< dent of Spuyten Duyvil, Mr. N.S. Blanchar appeared on the scene of actio: ately comprebending the situst pe about his waist, aud started to wade ou eeubmerged pier. He had go when the heavy ws ing imto the deep water beyond. stend of attempting to regain the pier, he brave- ly *truek out for the spile to which the unfor- tunates were clinging. and at length succeeded in reaching them. Then securely tying the rope to the spile, the men in charge of the boat were enabled to draw it within reach of the ufferers, Who were at once lifted in and car- ried to ibe shore, where every mésas were taken to recover them from their fearfal state of numbness and exhaustion. Mr. Blanchard reached the shore by swim- ming. and being congratulated upon the suc- cess of his courageous act, disclaimed all com- pliment, appearing to look upon his effort as a simple act of kindness and courtesy.
