The reputation this excellent medicine enjovs is derived from its cures, many of which are traly marvellous. Inveterate cases of Scrofulous disease, where the system seemed saturated with corrup- tion, have been purified and cured by it. Serofu lous’ affections and disorders, which were aggra- vated by the serofulous contamination until they were painfully afflicting, have been radically cared fn euch great numbers i the country, that the public scarcely need to be informed of ita virtues or uses. ‘Scrofulous poison is one of the most destructive enemies of our race. Often, this unseen and unfelt tenant of the organism undermines the constitu. tion, and invites the atfack of enfeebling or fatal diseases, without exciting a suspicien of its pres- ence. Again, it seems to breed infection through- out the body,’and then, on some favorable occa- sion rapidly develop into one or other of its hideons forms. either on the surface or among the vitals.

The Senate adjourned early today, and members of both houses to-day are gathered in groups discussing the all-absorbing topic of interest—impedchment. A number of des- patches were received by members announcing demonstrations in fayor of impeachment at yurious points in the North and West. Con- trawise, a deepatch was received from Chicage that the Tri/une, a leading Republican paper of that city, had come eut editorially this morn- ing in support of Senator Trumbull. Horace Greeley was on the House floor for some time to-day, conversing freely with mem- bers, and the conclusion was Jumped at that he bad been sent for post-baste to aid in stiffening the backs of shaky Republicans. It turned out, however, that his mission is not political, but to take home bis invalid wife, who, with his two daughters, have been wintering in Washington. Oddly enough both parties, impeachers and anti-impeachers, are equally sanguine to-day. The impeachers count te-day upon the votes of Messrs. Anthony, Sprague, Fowler, Van Winkle, and Ross, heretofore reckoned among the doubtful, and believe that Mr. Henderson will yote for conviction on the eleventh article. Whatever may be the data upon which the President's friends rely, it is certain that they are exceedingly confident to-day. (ne side or the other is pretty badly mistaken, that is cer- tain. Tue Secretary and principal officials of the Treasury Department are opposed to the provision in Mr. Schenck’s revenue bill re- ported yesterday, creating a separate Depart- ment of Internal Revenue, on the ground that the supervision which the Treasury Depart- ment may exercise over the revenue bureau, and the scrutiny which its administration must undergo from persons not under the con- trol of the Commissioner, constitute one of the most effectual and necessary checks upon the management of so important a bureau.

The bill erects the Internal evenue Bureau into a separate department of the Government with the present: Commis. sioner atits head, with a salary of $6,000 per annum. His powers are greatly enlarged, aud he is rendered as far possible independent ot the President. The bill also provides for six Deputy Commissioners, who are to be chiets divisions in the office here, and otherwise re- organizes the whole department. It also pr vides for a Solicitor of Internal Revenue, t appointed by the Presiderit, with the consen the Senate, who is to be “independent of the Commissioner, and to act as a check upon him, as the consent of the Solicitor is required to many acts of th nmissioner before they are valid. The bill 1 the tax on whiskey at S2, but also taxes retail sales of the same. ‘Tax on all kines of chewing tobacco is fixed at cents per pound, and on smoking and other in- terior kinds 16 cents.

Taxes on sales of merchandise and mechanical productions are one fifth of one per cent. over $5,000, Special taxes are largely Increased in many cases, requiring them to be paid on many branches of business heretofore exempt.

The Court Refuses to Ad Him to Bail. In the Criminal Court this morning, tetore Chief Justice Cartter, the argument upon the motion to admit John H. Surrat: to bail was resumed. Mr. Merrick, for the prisoner, called the at- ter:tion of the Court toa casein 12 Peters, which he thought conclusive a8 to the jurisdiction of the Conrt to take bail in its discretion. Mr. Riddle, for the Government, suid be did not dispute th diction of the @ourt. A case in Cranch’s Circuit Court Reports fully sustained Judge Cartter said he was giad the gentlemen agreed, as it Was 4 question upon which he had some donbt. Mr. Riddle said that Mr. Wilson. who had not yet come in, might differ with him. He re- ferred to several anthorities as to the power and discretion of Circuit Courts Mr. Merrick then read several authorities in support of his view of the case, and said:— These are the only authorities I deem it expe- dient to refer to on the question of law sub- mitted with regard to the facts which would seem to appeal to your honr for the humane exercise of your diseretion. Your horor, no doubt, bas duly considered them all, in the charitable hope of being able to exercise your judicial discretion favorably to the prisoner, aud at the sume time consistently with justice to the country. I deem it proper, however, to suggest one fact which may not have been cailed to the attention of the Court, Itis this ‘The prisoner is poor. There was a small in- heriwnce near this city (unfortunately now somewhat famous in the history of the coun- | try) that came to him, his brother and sis- tr. It came, however, burdened with a debt) which not Yet been discharged, and which, when discharged may and per- baps will, exhaust the propert has no means whatever. His brother by sister, a very frail, gentle, kind hearted’ s accomplished girl, is under the disadvantages of great physical debility, supporting herself in this city. Such means AS through the kindness of fi were ad- vanced for bis benefit, were exhausted during the protracted and expensive trial through which he has already passed. Although his counsel were not, as bas becn untruly said, vol- un‘cers in the case, but were regularly retained, Teerived nothing: aud in view of the mnces of the prisoner they expect nothing, because there is no ability to meet pro- fessioual charges. Qn the coutrary, your honor, in the discharge of what ‘hey conceived to be their professional duty, in obedience to the dictates of that spirit waich characterizes the profession, they have expended their own funds to aid in the preparation and trial of the case of their chent, They were com- pelled to advance ¥ meet the nece:sary expense of tne c: which they had uncertaken to conduct, Hay- ing emered upon a case in which careful and 3 isfled us chat our client d where we bad a tetion that be was wrongly accused, we felt the honor of the proiession, the cause of justice, and our oWn reputaions demanded that our chant should not be allowed to want for such meaus as we could supply.

An- other fact to which I desire again to call the attention of your Honor is the long period of his incarceration, and the further fact that he has already gone through with one 1 2m tree tosay to your Honor that it he had not aire: gone through with one trial, even it he had been incarcerated for this length of time, I would not have made and urged the motion now before you in a case like this. [cannot appreciate the learned District Attorney's distinction between degrees of mur- der; and have not learned anything in the law I have studied of the offence of muriderum may- vaium. Having gone through with one trial, suffered this long incarceration, and been ahus deprived of means, with his bealth failing aad bail ready before your honor, to insure beyand any reasonable doubt the certainty of bis at- tendance when demanded, I may justly appead to your honor to exerei-e your diseretion-wath a charitable cons for humanity and the sufferi Judge Cartter said: 1 will exercise my jndg- ment in this case upon the predicate thai Phave power to admit bail. The authorities which have been rad have led me the conclusion, contrary to my convictions, that, 1 have this power. It is, however, one to jbe exercised with great caution and with judicial reluctance. All cr the authorities cited so admonish the r means in order to | Court, and for the obvious reason that the accu- Ation—to Wit, the accusation of murder—is a grave one: and that the law can obtain no com- Pensation on bail the equivalent of the stake, ch is the life of the party accused. A case y often arise When a court will feel called upon to exercise this power, and in the case before me I sbould have no hes- vation about domg it, did the circum- stances of the case seem to require it. This case, by the application and with the consent of counsel,—tor from my view ofthe case from the bench, I am compelled to treat the postponement of it as with the assent of counsel—has been deferred to an approaching term, to be held next month.

Grant, enclosing statements of white and colored voters in the different Southern States, and other inferma- tion called for by Senate resolution; which was Teferred to Committee om Military Affairs Mr. Pomeroy presented a memorial of citi- zens of Washington, asking that the location the Centre Market be changed to a point te- tween loth and J2ch streets, north of the canal Referred to Commuttee on Districtof Columbia. The Chair presunted the lately adopted Con- stitution of South Carolina; which was Te: red to the Committee on Territories. Mr. Sherman presented joint resolution of the Legislature of Ohio, requesting Congress to make provision for the security of life in the able waters within the jurisdiction of the Uv Referred to Commitiee on Commerce. Also, joint resolution of the same Legisiature protesting against the reconstruction acts of Congress, and instructing their Senators, and Fequesting their representatives to vote for the repeal of all of said acts; and also protesting against the passage of the bill limiting the power of the Supreme Cou: Mr. Sherman regarded this as an extraordi- nary document, but he felt it his duty to pre- sent it. He asked that it lie on the tabie. Mr. Stewart, from the Committee on the Judiciary, reported a substitute for the bill to remove the political disabilities of certain citi- zens of Alabama, the list containing 106 names Mr. Stewart said it must not be understood that the names which Were omitted were de- cided finally upon by the committee; but there was so much difficulty in obtaining the proper information, that the committee desired tar- ther time to examine into these cases. The names which were now reported, the commit tee were satisfied were proper subjects from which the disabilities should be removed. Mr. Davis gave notice of his mtention to in- troduce bills to enanle the people of Colorada and Montano Territories to form a provisional government, with a view to their admission into the Union. The President pro fem. nid before the Senate the resignation of the Secretary, J. W. For. ney. Mr. Sumner moved that the resignation lie on the table, Mr. Cameron objected, and moved that the resignation be accepted. The motion of Mr, Sumner to lay or the table Was agreed to. Mr. Hendricks offered a resolution that the resignation of the Secretary of the Senate be ac- cepted. and until a successor is appoiuted Win J. McDonald be authorized to act as Sec tary. Mr. Sumner objected to its present considera. tion, and it went over. Mr. Wilson introduced a joint resolution to admit Alabama, North Carolina, South Caroli- na, Georgia, Louisiana and Florida to rep: sentation in Congress; which was referre Committee on Judiciary Mr. Ramsey introduced a bill to authorize the establishment of ocean mail service by American swamships between the United States and the North and South of Europe, and be- tween the United States and the Mediterranean parts of Asia, Referred to Commitiee on Post Offices. Mr. Sherman called up the House bill to ad- mit the State of Arkansas w the Union Mr. Trumbull wes as anxious as any one that Arkansas and all of the revel States should be admitted as soon as possi 1 important statements in the bill, may or may not be true, he hud seen the same iements in the newspapers, and he was per- ly willing to take any statement made by rnator from this, but be wonld ask him Whether this bill had been examined by the Finance Committee. He (Mr. T.) had not beard that the bill had been referred to auy committee, and he submitted to the Senator whether it was proper toinaugarate the sys. tem in the Senate of passing importaut bills without refernce to any committee, Mr. Sherman did not think there was any Re cessity for referring the bill to a commitiee, but if the Senator thought that was best, bv had no objection, He had examined into the matier carefully, and the statements made in the bill verified, the Constitution having been transmitted to Congress by the President, and House documents contained the evidence that the constitutional amendment bad been adopt ed. The commander of the army had given the information, and also that there was the great- est disorder and anarchy im Arkansas, and would be until the Government was Fecog- nized. The Legislature was now in session, but could do nothing valid until ye action of Congress, A Mr. Johnson said if this bill was passed in this msnner. it Would be the first time that a measure of such importance was sctedon with- out being referred to a committee. All the state ments in the bill might be true, the constitution might be Republican in point of form, but they had not had time to ascertain the facts, He was unable to see any necessity cf baste, and the country Would be & great deal surprised if at this time, while the trial of the impeachment was pending, two new Senators Were admitted here, who might claim the right to take part in the proceedings. He could not conerive that the Senate would countenance | spy such demand, even ifit was made, but it might be that they would s & majority of the Senate of their righ’; under these circum stances he would not believe that the Senate would feel justified im compromising its own dignity, by admitting these Senators at this porticular juncture. Mr. Dixon agreed with the Senator from Obio (Mr. Sherman) that there was wecessity for immediate action on the bill, but he coin- cided with the Senator trom Maryland (Mr. bnson ) that it would be extremely improper and injudicieus to pass it now. He bad heard that the Arkansas Seaators were divided on the subject of impeachment, but this matiered not It would not be seemly to admit them at tus juncture. Mr. Sherman thought there was no danger of these Senators voung on the impeachment trial even if the bill Was passed to-day, as it would be in the power of the President to retain itin | his hands for ten days. Mr. Edmuuds bad no doubt of the perfect le. gality of all the proceedings, bat he hoped this bill Would take the regular course, and be Te- ferred to the appropriate committer, Mr. Buckalew -siid it was pretty generally stated that m the Arkansas election gross fraud= bad been practiced, both in the registry and in the voting. Mr. Morton saw no necessity for referring the bill; but in view of the nmarks which bad been made, he was not in favor of passing the bill to-day. He thought it much better that the | Senate should now adjourn until Saturday, at 100 a. m., and if it was im order he Bpuld now make the motion. After turther debate, Mr. Johan then moved to refer the bill to the Judiciary Com- mittee. Mr. Trumbull said he bad not made his sug- jon with avy desire to delay action, and he Would endeavor to have it reported from the Judiciary Committee by Saturday, The motion to refer to the Judiciary Com- mitice was then agreed to. Mr. Morton then moved to adjourn until Saturday at 11.30 a m. Mr. Anthony moved to amend by making it Friday. He liad often heard ot this body being called an august body, but at this rate he thought they would soon be called a September body. There was an immense amount of busi- ness now on the table that should be attend. e d to. ‘The amendment of Mr. Anthony was dis- agreed to. ‘The motion of Mr. Morton was adopted: and the Senate adjourned. Hovsr oF RErRESENTATIVES.—On motion o: Garfield, (Ohio,) the House took up and passed the bill granting the right of way to the White- hail and Plattsburg Railroad Company. ‘The House then proceeded to the considera- lar order, of the bill to admit the States of North Carolina, South Carolina, | Louisiana, Georgia, and Alabama, to repre- eentation in Congress. ‘Mr. Stevens moved to amend by adding the following as an additional section: Sec. —, Provided that the provision of the term of the Iate rebellion. meer tothe United States and Robinson (N.Y.) asked if it was pro. posed to amend the State Constitution here. ir.

The pill had now been introduced and be (Stevens) was disposed to allow full dis cussion. He proposed to give the gentlemen of the minority an oppertunity for discussion.
