There oould hardly be a donbt as to their

The plan agreed upon by the oomaeittee
seems to be a sort of mosaic platform,
upon which the rarione factions aad in

each standing opon its own block. Bat
its blending of features and colors fails to

want of these elements ix so apparent
that it no hardly serve even as an expe

Tbb Editor ie sneered of a “merry
Christman” by the kind consideration of
Messrs. Ellis A Harrison, to whom ha is
indebted for a fat gobbler—one of Ibe
three hundred fine turkeys witk which
they propose to regale onr citizens daring
tbs holidays. If all the birde are aa
plump aad heavy as ours, they east feed
tbe city on Cbristmu dsy.
The New York Trihunt thinks that the
enormous oharge of “Southern outrages”
with which tbe HrpubHe loaded itself in
its last issue produced an etploaion, and
this was what caused tbe early and sudden
death of the new organ of extreme ltadi
ealiam. It bad lived on outrages during
ita brief existonoe, and found tbe peba
lam not sustaining. Many a Radical
Congressman bad tbs asms eipsrisaoe lie.
fore it. “Let ns bars paaoe.”
Tex Democrats of (ha Fourth Con
gressional District of Tennessee have
nominated Hon. H. M. F. Fite, of Smith
ooonty, as a candidate for Congress in th*
plaee of Mr. Head, who died a few days
after hi* oleetion. There were 109 bal
lotings before a choirs ooeld be effected.
Mr. File was not one of tbe first nom
inees, bat was taken op after it had be-
oouie apparent that aaaa at the candi
dates first placed in nomination oould ob
tain a majority.
Tnotiua tbe number of lUdioala in the
next Hons* of Itepresentatives will not
much exoeed half the camber in tbe present
House, the negro members will be more
numerous than ever before. Saras na-
gross hare already bean sleeted, and tbe
prospect is that Mississippi will add twe
or three more. This results from the ne
groes' making tbs carpet-baggers taka
back seats and setting up for tbemaalvea.
It is also notiosable that negroes bar*
this year generally run bettor fat Con
gress thau tba pour “white trash" wbe
teak olBoa at their hands.
Locixisxa.—Our brief dispatch report
ing a Democratic majority of 25 in th*
Louisiana House of Uepreaantotivas ia
not axpliait, but we suppose that it means
according to the results declared by the
ltoturuing Board. We learn from the
New Orleans papers that tbe Board in
secret session on* Friday, adjudged Ula,
Democrat, as tbe Bsnator elect from Car-
roll parish, and conceded Sabine and tit
Helena parishes to the Democrats. As
the surrender of th* Radical member* of
the Board in regard to these parishes left
them no grounds upon which to continue
a contest in reference to others, tbe pre
sumption ia reasonable that on Saturday
their feotioua opposition to the ehoioe of
the people broke down altogether, and
they oouceded the election of all the
Democratic members who received popu
lar majorities. Hush a termination of tha
protracted oontoat ia a matter for much
congratulation, aa it probably does away
with all danger of another conflict.
Wa did not slate the position of Mr. i.
H. dames, the well known banker of
Atlanta, with entire correctness, in
eeying the other day that be
wee in favor of the enactment
Demy lews. He has written a letter to
the Savannah A’nrr, in which ha advaa.
eas soma vary aenaibU views. Ha at
tributes the present flnenoia! difficulties
the people to the shortness of produc
tion ; Bays that the price of money is reg
ulated by supply aad demand; “yon may
past Usury lews from year to year, bat
yon oannot keep tbe lender from getting
hie prioe, and your lane will keep the
timid from loaning, aad the brave will
gdt higher prieee; just aa well pass a law
saying a man cannot get a dollar and a
half for a bushel of corn as to gsy that be
oannot get 1} per oent. fur his money.”
He thinks that, os • banter, be wonld be
beneflttod by Unary laws, because they
would compel timid loaners to dapueit in
the brake; bat that the condition of
the country and of tha people callH
for free banking and cheap mon
ey — tbe latter to be secured
only by increasing tha amount offered for
loan.
Dm. Bsunsnn writoa of Andrew John
son : “Up and down the lina, among
friends and eksmtaa alike, it is understood
that this ia the old man's last fight. If
ha win*, tbe term is for si* years, and he
wifi hardly aver want office again ; and if
be fails, ha can never Ret it again. Bo all
are coming np to tbe scratch with long
finger nails and blood-shot eyes, and wool

of Madison, was waylaid, knocked down,

He was unconscious on Saturday, and

ia feared that he will die of hia injuries.
