ttex..The United Senate came to a de
cision on the carreifey question on Mon
day, and the inflationists, as all the pre
vious votes indicated, won a 'victory.—
The first vote was on Mr. Conkling's mo
tion to add 4n additional section to Mr.
Merrimatfs substitute for the bill, so as
to provide that nothing in the act should
be construed to authorize any increase of
the principal of the public debt, which
was rejected—yeas, 24; nays, 27. Mr.
Merril:nail's substitute for the original bill
was then adopted—yeas, 29 ; nays 24,
and the bill'reported to the Senate. Other
amendments intended to modify the ob
jectionable features of the bill, were sub
mitbed by the opponents of inflation, but
were severally voted down. It being
obvious that the majority were determin
ed to force the bill through in its exist
ing form, a number of the most prorni
- peat Senators, including Republicans,
Democrats, and Liberals, in brief speeches
entered strong protests against its iniquit
ous fintures, and expresselhopes that it
wouhi encounter the Presidential veto.—
The bill' then passed—yeas, 29; nays, 24.
The first section fixes the limit of the legal
tender issue at four hundred million dol
lar?. The second authorizes the increas
ed issue of forty -4t million dollars of the
national bag currency, and its distribo
lion among the several States, and regu
lates the reserve to be kept by the banks.
It is thought that the close inflationists
in the Flo use will accept the Semite bill,
in lieu of the one now pending there.

they will soon turn back from the rout as

The present outcry resembles a fierce
prairie fire that devastates a limitless
plain, finding no resistance. Caught in
the hot whirlwind, the tall weeds shrivel
and perish, but the noxious snake slowly
drags to his 'hissing; hiding place, from
whence he will again arise, charged with
added venom, and more surely strike the
snared with 'his death-dealing fang.
This momentary fury 'must soon ex-

Ete!...Every now and then some colored
person turns up who has been held in
slavery ever since the war, and has never
heard of the Thirteenth and Fifteenth
amendineuts to the Constitution of the
United States. IVe scarcely expected to
hear of such a ease in Columbia, South
Carolina, however, where the negro ma
jority in the Legislature has been making
things lively since 1869. One day last
week a mulatto girl in that city appealed
to an officer of the law for protection from,
as she said, severe and frequent beatings
by her mistress. 'When the matter was
inquired into, it was found that the girl
had, when she was about ten years old,
entered into articles of indenture with a
family in the city, and had remained
there ever since. Iler parents were not
parties to the contract, and all that she
appeared to know about it was, that she
was to live with the tinnily until she was
twenty-one yeirrs of age, and that she had
signed, by her mark, the paper.
