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.
