troduce a resolution for a special committee to in
quire whether civilians in the employ of the Gov

pense to vote at elections.
Mr. Stevens (Pa.) objected to the int-oduction
of the resolnt’on nnless the inquiry shonld be con
ducted by the Committee on the Conduct of th
War, to which Mr. Kernan would not agree.
Mr. McClurg (Mo.), rising to a persona
explanation, repeated and sought to prove the
charges heretofore made against his colleague
(Mr. Blair), of having violated the Treasury And
regulations by smuggling liquor into the Army.-
and produced an Army order signed by Gen.
Rosecrans, to show the falsity of Mr. Blair’s
remark, that free persons of color had not been
removed from Missouri and sold into slavery. He
had the same compassion for Mr. Hlalr as be had
for a condemned criminal, and indulged m severe
personal reflections upon his colleague.
Mr. Blair (Mo.) asked that a Special Committee
be appointed to examine the charges of his col
league, who had uttered a base and wilful false
hood. His colleague had taken the place of the
forger ana falsifier, and he pronounced htm to be
an infamous liar and scoundrel.
The Speaker said that the use of such language
was against the decorum of the House, and he
called upon the House to aid him in enforcing
them. *
Mr. Blair said tha,t no other language could be
used to allegations so false and utterly con
temptible. *
Mr. McClurg asked his colleague to look at his
own signature to the liquor order.
Mr. Blair responded that he would look at
nothing from the infamous scoundrel.
Much excitement existed throughout the pro
ceedings. -
Finally the resolution to appoint a select com
mittee to inquire into Mr. McClurg’s allegations
was adopted.
Mr. Wilson (Iowa), from the Committee on the
Jndiciary, asked and was discharged from the

Equitable Life Assurance Society.
Since the first of December, 1863, THE EQ,UtT
ABLE LIFE ASSURANCE SOCIETY has
issued over NINE HUNDRED POLICIES, as
soring an aggrega e or abont THBEE MILLION
DOLLARS. Tee Society has outstanding ri-ks to
the amonift of Eleven Million Dollars, and its in
come for the year 1864 will reach the handsome
snm of five hundred thousand dollars. No Life
Insurance Cpmpany ever organized in this country
can show so proud a record of immediate success,
and prompt, progressive prosperity. To have se
cured an Income of half a million dollars in the
filth year of its existence, is an achievement of
which any organization may well afford to boast.
In respect to the expenses of the Equitable So
ciety, it Is the fact that their ratio HAS BEEN
LESS THAN THAT OF ANY LIFE COMPANY
ORGANIZED WITHIN A DOZEN YEARS.
The Company’s losses have, moreover, been
comparatively few, up to this time; having in their
number fallen far short of the regularly received
tables of expectation upon which the science of
life insurance is based. The Equitable Society is
purely mutual in its operations, every cent of
profit over the actual cost of insuring being divi
ded among the policy holders,, who are thus made
members, as it were, of a mutual benefit assr ela
tion. The officers and directors of the Company
are well-known as among our foremost clt'zens,
and a glance at the list of their names will furnish
abundant .explanations of the immense strides to
ward succei s made by the Company during the
first five years of its history mh22-3t*

We have learned not to be astonished at any
thing. T ears of experience and a correspondence
extending throughout all nationalities of the ha.

established a basis from which we need not err.
We are not surprised at such facts as the follow

W» know the persons and circumstances, hence
feel at liberty to endorse their statements:
“New Bedford, Mass., Nov. 34, 1863.
Deab Sib—l have been afflicted many years with
severe prostrating cramps In my limbs, cold feet
and bands, and a general disordered system. Phy
sicians and medicines failed to relieve me. While
visiting some friends in New York who were using
Plantation Bitters they prevailed upon me to try
thenv I commenced with a small wine glassful
alter dinner. Feeling better by degrees, inafew
days I was astonished to find the coldness and
cramps had entirely left me, and I could sleep the
night through, which I have not done for years 1
feel like another being. My appetite and strength
have also greatly improved by the use of the Plan
tation Bitters. Respectfully,
JUDITH RUSSEL.”

fourteen months—speechless and nearly dead. At

The following is from the Manager of the Unlcn
Home School for the Children of Volunteers:
“Hayekktbb Mansion, Ffty-seventh, street )

Dn. Dbaxb: Your wonderful Plantation Bit

suffering from weakness and weak lungs with
most happy effect. One little girl, in particular,
with pains in her head, loss of appetite, and daily
wasting consumption, on whom all medical skill
had been exhausted, has been entirely restored.
We commenced with but a teaspoonful of Bitters
a day. Her appetite and strength rapidly in
creased, and she is now well.

The Plantation Bitters make the weak strong

They are recommended by the highest madica,

It cleanses and renovates the blood, the

humors which make disease. It stimulates the
healthy functions of the body and expels the dis

remedy, that could be relied on, has long been
sought for. and now, for the first time, the public

here does not admit certificates to show its effect,
