bays the Macon Telegraph and Messenger:
••One of Brunswick’s most promising young
citizens called upon us yesterday, and said
that whole region is much wrought up ou the
subject of the lease and future of the Macon
and Brunswick Railroad. They cannot tole
rate the idea that this splendid property,
which furnishes the inland gate to the far in
terior, for Brunswick, 6hail pass into hostile
hands. Hence, the determination to spare
no effort, first, to control the lease them
selves, with the help of their up country
brethren: and secondly*, failing in this, to
give all the aid aud comfort possible to the
company or organization which will deal
mo't liberally with them in the subsequent
conduct of the road. We cannot learn that
any definite action has been decided upon,
but every one seems to be awaiting the re
sult of the convention’s deliberationo.’ 7
i m Sunday last Butler, a colored preacher,
lectured iu the Baptist Church at Barnes-
viUv, on the subject of the negro exodus.
T he Gazette says: “The speaker said he was
born and raised In Georgia, and had come
back to remain and die in his native State.
8 -me years since he left the Slate in search
i country ilowing with milk and honey,
thought there was a much better coun-
and that he would find closer and better
: ?s in the North than he bad found in
-rg:.i. Hence be went to a Northern city
decided to settle there. In the first
••*. he had to advance ter. dollars to get
. i eupancy of a house. After a time he
employed to lay brick, being a mason.
■ I.e drew his trowel and began every
man on the building declined to
lay another brick, and thus he was
thrown out of that job. He said that
he had before thought the Northern man
was his friend. But this showed him that
he was not. They refused even to work ou
a building with colored men. In this con
nection the speaker said a negro could not
be mechanic, a mason, nor anything but a
biirb- r , r a hotel waiter In the Northern
States. He assured his race that they would
have to pay for all they received if they
went North or West. They must pay for
what the government lets them have. He
also assured them that they had better
facilities here for educating themselves and
their children than they could possibly have
for years to come in Kansas or Missouri.
The speaker presented his experience, as he
had traveled with the purpose of ascertain
ing for himself what better land there was
than Georgia.”
vizyi the Forsyth Advertiser: “The colored
Baptists of Forsyth have a new and elegant
church, which they have built almost fcy
their own exertions. In March, 1878, they
tore down the building they had been using
t?mj>orarily and commenced the erection of
a new house, with $58 in money and $165
worth of lumber on hand. With this small
beginning they have now a house which
cost $l,6o0. It has been paid for by volun
tary contributions. The faithful pastor,
Rev. J. a. James, refused to have any
church fairs, suppers, or excursions to aid
-u rising the money. The church building
is not only comfortable, but is nicely paint
ed, has a spire, gothic windows, and Is an
ornament, to the portion of the city vyhere It
Is located. We always find great pleasure in
commending our colored friends for such
enterprise.”
Says the Americus Recorder: “The beaver
was hardly known in this section before the
war, but within the last decade they have be
come so numerous as to be a positive curse in
some neighborhoods. Those acquainted with
the habits of this Ingenious rodent know
what powerful dams they throw across
stream, obstructing its waters and
-hereby causing overflows, killing al
the timber, crops and vegetable matter
growing on the land. Many attribute the
deadly scourge, hemorrhagic malarial fever,
an annual scourge of some localities, to this
cause. Trapping these animals has become
quite a brisk business in the last few years
to the initiated. The pelts are valuable,and
sell rapidly in this market for $2 50 to $3,
aud the flesh Is used for food, though it is
rather coarse and strong. Last week Mr.
John II. Walker caught twenty-one on a
single stream. Beside beaverss, we notice
many otter, raccoon and other pelts in this
market. The otter pelts are the most valu
able, and bring $5.”
The Rome Courier details the following
outrageous conduct on the part of a revenue
officer: “On last Saturday while J. F.
Wynn, Esq., was in Rome a man who gave
his name as Perkins went to Mr. Wynn’s
residence in this county and arrested a
negro by the name of Epps Whitehead,
aud shot another named Cass Chisolm in
the shoulder as he ran from him. Perkins
asserted that he^was a revenue officer, and
charged that these negroes had been selling
whisky. As soon as Mr. Wynn got home
he pursued this party and camo np with
them in the edge of Polk county. Perkins
refused to show the warrant under which
he bad made the arrest, and also refused to
bring the negro to Rome for committing
trial, but said he would carry him to At
lanta. Mr. Wynn left for Atlanta yesterday
evening in order to see that justice Is done
the negro, whom he believes to be innocent
of the charge.”
The Columbus Times asks, ‘‘Was it an
other attempt at murder V” and says: “We
understand that as Mr. Harry Bruce, who
lives in Linnwood, at the Barnett place, was
going to his home on Sabbath night, some
one stepped before his horse and grabbed at
the reins, evidently with the intention of
stopping him. After the sad fate of Mr.
Gammon, who was a near neighbor of Mr.
Bruce, it is natural for him to think that the
object of his assailant was robbery, if not
murder as well. Mr. Bruce escaped un
damaged, and so did the rein snatcher, but
we will venture a wager that the next time
the effort is made somebody will get hurt.
But is it not startling to know that it is be
coming unsafe to leave our doors at night 7
That when we leave our doors after dark
we may not be permitted to returrt without
beiog shot or butchered, or being compelled
to shoot some one else? We hope the party
who attacked Mr. Bruce mav be discovered
and brought to feel the wheels of justice.**
The Newnan 1Jerald says: “The people of
this section learn with pleasure that the
Savannah, Griilin and North Alabama Rail
road will probably be extended at an early
day to Chattanooga to connect with the Cin
cinnati Southern, just completed to that
point. This enterprise, if carried out, will
put Newnan in direct railroad communica
tion with Cincinnati and the groat West,
and place Savannah, the prosperous seaport
of Georgia, in a position which will at once
make her completely independent of all
hostile movements against her interests iu a
commercial point of view, by the many
combinations now being formed or that
may in the future be brought to bear to the
prejudice of Savannah and the Georgia
Central Railroad.
Says the Montezuma Weekly : “Some flend
attempted to burn out Montezuma again
last Friday night. At the back end of
Hartsfield & Bro.’s store a piece of weather
board had been torn off, and the incendiary,
having provided himself with a quantity of
kindling wood, placed it In position and set
it on fire. Fortunately the heavy dew on
Friday night had so dampened the timbers
of the building that the tire went out before
any damage was done. A close watch
should be' kept up during the next few
weeks.
Says the Madison Madisonian: “Rev.
Flem Garret, a colored Methodist preacher,
accidentally fell into a well on Marlon
Bearden’s place last Saturday uight and re
mained there until aided out next morning.
He was thoroughly soaked and completely
chilled, otherwise not seriously injured. He

The Republican managers have de-

has the management of the affair entirely

The scheme was mapped out in this

LATEST FROM THE STEAMER BORUSSIA.
Borussia, were landed by the Mallowdale.
Their names are Wm. Stuart, day doctor;
Doolittle, third officer; Wylie, fourth engi
neer; Henry Brown, boatswain; Wm.
Baney, able seaman ; Jas. Dixon, quarter
master; Alexander Johnson and Henry
8tevenson, stewards, and Patrick Cain and
Patrick Quinn, coal trimmers. One of the
survivors states the seventy-six passengers
embarked at Liverpool. The vessel reached
Corunna November 23, all well. After
having shipped some cargo and em
barked about eighty Spanish emigrants, the
Borussia proceeded for Havana on the
26th, wind being light from southeast, with
the fact that when he came down
stairs it was given out in a con
fidential manner in the lobby of the Con
tinental that “Grant would be. a can
didate.” The final arrangements were
concluded on Saturday, and in the after
noon the managers broke off and went
to different parts of the country-Mr.
Cameron to New York city, Secretary
Sherman to Washington, and Secretary
Evarts to New York. The news was
broken to the Philadelphia politicians on
Saturday, and all of yesterday they were
a calm sea. November 30th the wind j engaged in transmitting the information
freshened and increased to a gale. On privately to their friends. The combina-

labored heavily. At noon she sprank a leak
amidships. All efforts at the pumps were
fruitless to keep the ship free of water,
which tilled the engine room and stokehole,
putting out the fires and stopping the en
gines. The crew still continued to
work at the pumps until the next
day, the 2d lost. when it was
determined to abandon the vessel. Her
boats were launched and provisioned, and a
part of the crew with about a dozen passen
gers got into them. Those of the crew who
remained by the vessel were the Captain,
second mate, third engineer, eleven firemen,
three stewards and carpenters and
two boys. Shortly after leaving the ves
sel one of tbe boats was swamped and its
occupants, five in number, were drowned.
The survivors state that the steamer’s cover
ing board when they shoved off was not
more than two inches above water. It is
supposed she must have gone down with her
kills off Blaine again, leaving him out in
the cold for the present.
The men who have taken hold of
Grant are the Camerons, the Shermans
and Conkling, with Creswell and Keogh
in the South. Sherman has privately
consented to stand aside and allow his
Presidential aspirations to vanish. What
Conkling is to get out of the arrangement
has not yet transpired, further than that,
in the event of Grant’s election, lie
would still maintain his grip on the Em
pire State. Sherman refused to come to
Philadelphia until Friday. He had
been invited, but he would not accept
because his mind had not been fully
made up as to what course he
would pursue. He was seen early
in the afternoon, and agreed to stand
aside for Grant and Grant only. It is

Possibly the well saved Mr. Bearden’s turkey-
roost, or the roost protected the well, we
don’t know which.”
A special to the Augusta Chronicle gives a
detailed account of the Waynesboro fire,
mention of which has already been made in
our telegraphic columns. It says: “Waynes
boro has at last had a first-class fire. About
half-past nine o’clock a fire was discovered
on the inside ot a wooden store occupied by
W. L. Marshall and P. R. Beall as a dry
goods aud jewelry store, on Peace street.
The door was broken in, but the fire had
such headway that all efforts to extinguish
it were fruitless. In a short time it ex
tended to and enveloped the store occupied
bv Messrs. McCatheren A Co., then to the
dry goods store of Mr. J. A. Polhill, the
store of 8. Sehwarzweies, and finally ended
by burning up the brick store of Maj. W.
A. Wilkins, the northern wall of which
stood as a barrier to its further progress,
and by it was saved six frame stores ad
joining. The colored citizens deserve our
sinccrest gratitude for their faithfulness.
They made good and fearless firemen. Sev
eral whites, as well as colored persons, were
more or less injured by hazarding too much
in their endeavors to save property. One of
the colored men, I am pained to learn, died
this morning from injuries received. Nearly
all the merchants interested were insured,
as follows: Major W. A. Wilkins was in
sured in the following companies : Georgia
Home, ou stock in brick store, $4,000; Liver
pool and London ana Globe, on
stock and buildings, $10,500; Man
hattan, of New York, on stock and
buildings, $5,000; Merchants and Me
chanics. of Virginia, on stock and build
ings, $6,000; total, $25,500. Mr. S.
Schwarzweies had as follows; In Petersburg
Savings and Insurance Co., $2,000; Loudon
and Lancashire, $2,500; Liverpool and Lon
don and Globe, $2,500; Home, of New
York, $4,000; total, $11,000. Messrs. Mc-
Cathereu *fc Co. were insured in the Mer
chants and Mechanics, of Virginia, $4,000.
Judge H. H. Perry, as trustee for Mrs. A.
M. Carter, held policies in the Virginia tire
and Marine on building, $1,000; Peters
burg Savincs and Insurance Co., $1,000.
Mr. W. L. Marshall held a policy iu London
and Lancashire for $1,500. Mr. J. A.
Polhill, In same company, $1,500; total In
surance, $45,500.”
The Tables Turned in Maine.
Ou ike total vote ia Maine the Repub
licans were confessedly in the minority,
a fact which shows that they must have
done a very strong stroke of ger
rymandering in past years to give them
the large majorities they claim in the
Legislature. They are not getting nearly
the amount of sympathy on account of
their reverses which they expected, nor
is tliere any very extensive development
of indignatiou against governor garce
lon and his Council. The general verdict
is that “ the biters are bitten for once.
It is an excellent thing, remarks the
Bridgeport Farmer, to occasionally be
put in your opponent’s place; it illus
trates very clearly one’s own conduct
The Republicans can now realize, by the
]j(,|it of the Maine affair, the full crim
inality of their own conduct in Florida,
Louisiana and Washington in I8TG-11,
and in New York this year. And perhaps
the whole people may now awaken to the
danger attending reversals of the popular
jrili through technicalities, and bring
such a pressure herealter upon canvas-
sing boards as to prevent further re\ er-
sals. The essence of free government is
the supremacy of the popular will, but
since Hie Republican defeat in. 18»6, that
party has substituted therefor the princi
ple cf tho supremacy of technicalities.
Maine has, however, taught them a les
son upon this subject which should be
heeded. If Mexicanizatiou is to be
averted and our present governmental
system perpetuated, the will of the peo
ple when clearly defined as in the Presi
dential election of 1876, and the New
York and Maine State contests of this
year, must be recognized, respected and
given effect. Let us have less law and
more justice!
Death from Swallowing False
Teeth.—On Thursday morning last Mrs.
Cora Nourse, of New'York, when mak
ing her toilet missed her false teeth, and
came to tho conclusion that during her
sleep she had swallowed them. She in-
quired ihe result in case her fears proved
true, and was informed the result would
certainly prove fataL She hastened to
the hospital and the physicians there told
her that she could not possibly have
swallowed her teeth. She became satis
fied and started home, but she died soon
after from complete exhaustion of her
mental faculties, brought about by lorae
of imagination.
were on board one cabin and sixty-four
steerage passengers from Liverpool for New
Orleans, and eighty steerage passengers
from Corunna for Havana.
Later and reliable advices by telegraph
from Liverpool represent that nothing really
new concerning the Borussia disaster can be
obtained. The name of the bark previously
mentioned as having five additional sur
vivors of the disaster on board was not
obtained by the tug. The bark was spoken
off the Sallee Islands, aud she may be two
or three days getting in, unless she is
towed. In his statement the third oflicer of
the Borussia says that after the large boat,
containing the Spaniards, and the mate’s
boat, containing thirteen persons, had left
the Borussia, a life-boat containing the
stewards of the steamer got adrift. He was
sent after this boat by the Captain, and took
charge of it, taking his own boat, in which
five men were left, in tow, but the boat was
swamped and all on board drowned. The
third officer endeavored again to reach the
Borussia, which was fast sinking, but was
unable to make her against the wind, and
was ultimately compelled to abandon the
attempt. At the time this occurred there
were still three boats with the Borussia.
The owners of the Borussia allege that
they believe the vessel still afloat, as she is
built with water-tight compartments, and
that she is still in the track of American
vessels. They also allege that they are
hopeful concerning her crew and passengers.
GOVERNOR GARCELON ENDORSED.
Augusta, Maine, December 24.— The
Fusionists held a public meeting last even
ing,at which speeches were made endorsing
the action of the Governor as being thor
oughly in accordance with the law and con
stitution of tbe State. A resolution ex
pressive of these views was adopted.
Governor Garcelon made a speech asking
that himself and colleagues be sustained in
the action they had taken.
DISASTROUS FIRE.
St. Paul, Minn., December 24.—A fire at
Carleton College, Northfield, yesterday de
stroyed Willis Hall and the main building,
with nearly all their contents, including fur
niture, books and students’ effects. The
loss is estimated at $50,000; insurance, $17,-
500, divided among several companies.
MUTINY ON SHIPBOARD.
New York, December 24.—Two sailors
the bark Francisco Dodavaro, from
Saveona, mutinied on the 5th instant. They
killed the cook and boatswain, and wound
ed the mate and another man. The Captain
and remainder of the crew subdued the mu
tineers, killed and threw them overboard.
HEAVY FIRING AT CABUL.
Calcutta, December 24.—Col. Norman
telegraphs from Jagdalak to day as follows: w
“Heavy firing has been heard in tbe direc- I body knows that Don Cameron defeated
tion of Cabul the past forty-eight hours. I gi a j ne at Cincinnati in 1876, and, while
General Gough is close to Lxtahand, and, it | n0 bad feeling against the
hand will appear in the future.
While Don Cameron and Colonel Quay
were seated in the latter’s office in the
People’s Bank, Colonel Ilooton, the
Chairman of the State Committee, who
was in the city, was sent for.
Call a meeting of the State Commit
tee at the Continental Hotel for Tucs
day, December 30,” said the Senator.
All right,” responded Colonel noo-
ton.
/When they meet, instruct the com
mittee to name Wednesday, February 25
as the date tor the meeting of the Stale
Convention, and Harrisburg the place,”
continued the Senator.
At that time the convention will meet,
nominate a candidate for Auditor Gen
eral, and also the delegates to the Na
tional Convention. The delegates will
be instructed for Grant, and the young
Cameron will have the credit of starting
the Grant boom. The Keystone State
i9 to lead the van, and New York
is to follow as soon after as pos
sible, so as to show that, as the
States with the two largest delegations
have declared for Grant, the lesser ones
might as well follow. Ohio’s delega
tion will be instructed for Grant, but
there was some thought that an attempt
would be made to vote for Sherman on
the first ballot by this delegation. This
would be complimentary, merely, and
might leave Ohio out in the cold, be
cause there will be States enough with
delegations instructed for Grant to nomi
nate him on the first ballot. The
Southern States will follow shortly after
those of tbe North, and will send a solid
delegation for Grant.
It will be noticed that Senator Blaine
has been left out in this arrangement
and has been ignored in the grand coun
cils of the party. This has caused no
litUe surprise. Those who know say
that Mr. Blaine may come in if he will
accept the terms which the combination
proposed to him. 2lone of the parties
in the arrangement were heard to speak
ill of Maine’s Senator, and some
even went so far as to state that
had he happened along this way
during the conferences he would
have been admitted. The friends
Senator Cameron desire it to be under
stood that be was not fighting Mr. Blaine
when he was elected to the Chairman
ship of the National Committee, and
that he is not fightinghim now. Every
is expected, will reach Cabul to-day.
THE ABOLITION OF SLAVERY IN CUBA.

GOT. GARCELON’S DEFENSE.
Governor Alonzo Garcelon, of Maine,
has submitted to the public the follow-
statement of the constitutional re
quirements in relation to elections of
Senators and Representatives in that
State, and the action of the Governor
and council in the discharge of the duty
imposed upon them by that instrument
and the statute laws in accord there
with :
The statutes regulate the mode of the
calling of meetings, but the constitu
tion prescribes the qualifications of Re-^
presentatives, and declares that the select-'
men of towns or municipal officers of
cities shall preside impartially at such
meetings, receive the votes of all the
qualified electors present, sort, count and
declare them in open town meeting and
in the presence of the town clerk, who
shall form a list of the persons voted for,
with the number of votes for each person
against his name, and shall make a fair
record thereof in the presence of the se
lectmen and in open town meeting; and
fair copies of the lists of votes shall be
attested by the selectmen and town clerks
of towns and the assessors of plantations
and sealed up in open town and planta
tion meetings, and the clerks of the sev
eral towns* anil plantations are to cause
the same to be delivered into the office
of the Secretary of State thirty days at
least before the first Wednesday of Jan
uary annually; and the Governor and
council shall examine the returned copies
such lists, and twenty days before the
first Wednesday of January shall issue
summons to such persons as shall appear
to be elected by a plurality of all the votes
returned to attend and take their seats.
So much for the constitution. Sup-
plementaiy to this the statutes provide
(chapter 4, section 32) that in order to
determine the result of any election by
ballot, the number of persons voted for
shall first be ascertained by counting the
whole number of separate ballots given
in, which shall be distinctly stated, re
corded and returned. Blanks are not to
be counted as votes, and votes for per
sons not eligible to the office shall not be
counted as votes, but the number of such
blanks and the number and names ou
ballots for persons not eligible shall be re
corded aud return made thereof. These
provisions of the constitution and the
laws apply to cities as well as towns and
plantations, and impose upon them—
that is, the municipal officers—the duty
of examining and comparing the lists of
votes given in the several wards, of which
the city clerk shall make a record, and
return thereof shall be made in the same
manner as selectmen of towns are re
quired to do.
Such are the plain and unmistakable
provisions of the constitution of this
State, and in the discharge of their duty
of examining the returns aud issuing cer
tificates of summons to the parties ap
pearing to be elected, the Governor and
council have not only endeavored to fol
low both the letter and spirit of tho con
stitution and laws made iu accordance
therewith, as indicated by their own
judgment, but the advice of their duly
appointed legal officer, aided by the best
legal talent in the State.
“And here let it be remembered that
the decision of the Governor and coun
cil is not final. The constitution makes
the Senate and House of Representatives,
respectively, the final arbiters of the
election of their own members. All the
lists or returns which have been confided
to the council are to be -laid before the
Senate and House of Representatives on
the first Wednesday in January annually,
and they shall finally determine who are
elected.
“With these directions and require
ments before them, wbat is the Governor
and council required to do ? To ex
amine these returns, ascertain their
validity and compare them with th
provisions of the constitution and the
aw. And first they must have be
sealed in open town meeting and in pres
ence of the selectmen, and by necessary
implication must come into the hands of
the.Governor and council in that con
dition. Secondly, they must be genuine
returns, coming from bona fide towns or
plantations, legally constituted and or
ganized. Thirdly, they must be signed
by the legal officers of the towns—that
is, as decided by the courts, by a majority
of tbe municipal officers of a town or
city—and certified by the clerk. Fourth
ly, they must contain a statement of the
whole number of ballots cast for the
officers voted for and the office for which
he was voted to fill. Fifthly, the name
of each person voted for, with the num
ber of votes against his name that were
thrown for him. Sixthly, the names of
the officers signing the returns must b»j
written with their own hands (as per
judicial decision, 68 Maine, page 587).
Applying these rules to the various re
turns, a tabulation of the persons voted
for the different offices, with the votes
each has received, determines the result.
“In the inspection of returns and tabu
lation of the same, which has just been
completed by myself and council, it has
been our purpose to apply to every re
turn the same rule, to wit: Compliance
with the requirements of the constitution
and the law, without fear or favor, and
if the result as to the political com
plexion of the Legislature is different
from what w:is claimed by politicians in
terested in influencing the elections in
other States, it is owing in part to the
fact that the claim was unfounded, and
in part to the carelessness of municipal
officers in making their returns.
The truth is. the popular vote was
against the Republican party, and iu the
Representative and Senatorial districts
the vote was extremely close. In addi
tion to the fact that several persons fail
to receive their certificates m conse
quence of ‘fatal defects’ in the returns
from their towns or cities, there are
others who would have been presumably
elected but for tbe carelessness of the
voters themselves or the ignorance ol the
candidates or those who provided ballots
at the elections. The Judges of our Su
preme Court have decided that ballots
cast for William II. Smith and W. H.
Smith are ballots to be counted separately
Several changes have resulted from this
conditiou of affairs. In one county
persons with as many as four different
combinations in initials received the lb
publican vote and two the Democratic.
That county was entitled to only one
Senator, and there was no alternative
but to give the certificate to the jicrson
having the highest number of votes. In
the Danforth district, already notorious,
the Dame of the Republican candidate
was Charles A. Rolfe. The town of
Danforth voted for Chas. Rolfe. The re
sult was that his competitor received the
certificate, and from like causes other
changes have occurred.
“The great hue and cry about ‘con
spiraey,’ ‘fraud,’ etc., arises from the
fact that we have taken the constitution
for our guide, fortified by the opinions
of the Supreme Court of the State and
the advice of several of thp foremost
legal gentlemen of the forum, and have
not permitted substitution, alteration or
unauthorized amendments of the returns
transmitted to us for examination and
by us to. be transmitted fo the Legisla
ture for their final action. In other
words, we have not resolved ourselves
into a returning board to investigate
fraud, bribery, illegal proceedings at the
polls, and the thousand and one
charges of corruption that are afloat,
but have left this whole matter to the
action of the Legislature, where it prop
erly belongs. The Governor and council
have recognized the fact that the people
of Maine have adopted a constitution and
declared it to be the supreme law of the
State. They have followed its require
ments with fidelity and impartiality, and
when an intelligent public have brushed
away the mists and false colorings which
enraged and discomfited politicians have
thrown around our action, and the vitu
peration and slander that has been
heaped upon us has given place to reason
and fair investigation, any condemnation
of our course, either by the Democracy
ot the nation or any falr-Limded afcd
honorable pbliticjahs of any party, will
be acknowledged with due submission.”
The Case of Senator Kellogg:,
Baltimore Sun. ~
It is discouraging to those who still re
tain a belief in the existence of political
morality to note the easy flippancy with
which Washington correspondents dis
cuss the case of the disputed Senatorship
from Louisiana. Ex-Gov. Kellogg was
admitted to his seat by the last Congress,
the Republicans having a majority in the
Senate, but it was alleged at the time
that there was a bargain in the premises,
and that the admission of Senator Butler,
of South Carolina, was made dependent
upon that of Kellogg. Mr. Spofford,
the contestant, was granted a committee
of investigation at the extra session, upon
the ground that Kellogg’s election was
improperly secured, and a great body
of conflicting testimony, much of
of a disgusting and disput
able sort, has been taken. It is
now quietly announced, however, in
the most free-and-easy sort of way,
that the matter will not be dealt with
upon its merits at all. It is not to be a
trial of facts, but a trial of strength. If
the Democratic majority in the Senate
should be threatened by the elections of
Senators for 1881, then Kellogg is to go
out; if not, he may be permitted to re
tain his seat and draw his pay until the
end of his term at least. Then, possibly,
he may be turned out and Spofford seal
ed, aui then he will draw his pay like
wise for the whole term. If this pro
gramme be the one actually agreed upon,
it looks as if Louisiana politics had ob
tained a foothold in Washington and the
Senate. One thing is plain: The State
of Louisiana is entitled to be represented
the Senate by the - man whom the
legal Legislature selected for that pur
pose. That rnan is either Kellogg or
Spofford; it cannot be both, and it is the
business and the duty of the Senate itself
to determine, as speedily as possible,
upon the merits of the case itself, and
without regard to any political contin
gencies, which of tho two contestants is
entitled to the seat in controvers3'. So
long and so far as the Sonate fails to do
this duty it is recreant to a very high
obligation. It may be, however—as we
have seen suggested—that neither Kel
logg or Spofford. was legally chosen by a
competent body. If that be found to be
the fact, let it be so declared, and thus
room made for the real representative
that Louisiana is entitled, to.
A Valuable Cargo.—Six car loads
of silk worms’ eggs, valued at $S40,000,
arrived at New York Saturday, direct
from San Francisco, en route for Havre.
The eggs were originally collected in
JapanV and were sent from Yokohama to
San Francisco. They are consigned to
French and Italian silk grower^ Sev
eral cases were opened for inspection,
and in every instance the larva* were
found to be in excellent condition. The
partial failure of the French aud Italian
silk crop this year has had a tendency to
give a fresh impetus to the importation
pf silkworm eggs, and Japanese and
Chinese silk culturists are ju-jt now reap
ing a rich harvest in supplj ing the neces
sities of their European customers.
A Sneaking Fondness for a Noble
Art.—Let the law say wh-A it will, and
society protest as much as it likes, there
will ever be a sneaking fondness among
Englishmen for the “noble art of self-
defense.” The passion for boxing and
the due acquirement of some- facility in
using the fists is hereditary in the nation
al character.—London Telegraph.

FROM THE HON. WM. TAYLOR. STATE
SENATOR OF MASSACHUSETTS.
Messrs. Weeks de Potter: Gextlkkkx—To
say that I am grateful, ia only a poor expres
sion of my feelings, but it is the best word I
can use, for I feel it in every sense of the word.
1 have been a great sufferer with sfcin diseases
for the last twelve (12) years. My head and
face being covered with sores, I could* not rest
with the burning heat and itching of the parts
affected, and was confined to my house tor
weeks ac a time. My disease has been called
Eczema, of a most aggravated type, by many
physicians, but I doubt if ever fully understood
by any or them. It was more like a combina
tion of several skm humors. I have spent
much money seeking a cure, and in 18671 went
to Europe, and consulted some of the best phy
sicians iu London. I received temporary re
lief only, for in the spring it would break out
again as bad as ever. When I came back to Bos
ton, I was i old by many friends that Dr. —
(whose reputation for the cure of those dis
eases was of the highest order) could cure me
I waited on the doctor; he prescribed for me
I fo’lowed his advice for six months, and I can
safely say, without any improvement. I tried
other physicians, und among them Dr. ,
of East Boston, and Dr. , of city proper,
but all to no purpose. Thev did me no good;
their remedies were so ineffectual that at no
time did 1 feel that a cure would result from
them.
I have swallowed five hundred arsenic pills.
..20 grain, and taken bottle after bottle of In
ternal remedies besides all the external ap
plications I have used, but the effect was the
same. 1 became satisfied that I could not be
cured, but might be kept from getting worse.
Now, about three months ago, Mr. Meehan,
gentleman well known to Boston people,
called my attention to your Cuticura, and
promised wonderful results if I would only
make a trial. He told me of his own expe
rience with it, and so persevered on me that I
went with him to a drug store and bought two
large boxes of Cuticura, and some Cuticura
Soap, and commenced to use it according to the
directions. There Vas so much humor lodged
within the skin, that, as soon as I commenced
the use of Cuticura it came to the surface and
festered, until vast quantities had come out
and greatly intensified my sufferings for about
two weens But I did not mind this, as I felt
that I was going to get rid of the humor when
I saw it coming to the surface in such large
quantities. After the first two or three weeks’
use of this remedy. I was greatly encouraged
by a gradual lessening of the inflammation of
a number of painful sores. I carefully, faith
fully. and cheerfully followed tho directions to
the "letter, feeling each week nearer a cure, un
til at the present moment, after three months’
use of Cuticura, and twelve years of as con
stant suffering as was ever endured, I can say
that X am cured, ar d pronounce my case the
most remarkable on record. I have been so
elated with my success that I have stopped
men ou the sireet who were afflicted, and told
them to get the Cuticura and it would cure them.
This is why I am so grateful to you, for I be
lieve it to be the best and greatest discovery of
the age, and that it will cure all who are suf
fering with these diseases. I mav add that I
took no internal medicine but the Cuticura

To all who are willing to make those hap
py and cheerful who are near and dear to
them. To accomplish this, make appropriate
and judicious presents. Whilst it is advisable
that you do spend money for such purposes,
use your best judgment in not wasting it; by
this I mean purchase more of the useful than of
the ornamental, and what is of more import
ance to you as well as to me is, make your
Selections at 17 Store -
where you will find all that is desirable at much
lower pric:s than else wh.-re. Certainly it can
not hurt you to investigate this assertion, for
whilst I recommend you to
Spend Your Money with
a Lavish Hand,
i warn you not to throw it away, and you
surely will do so if you don’t
