THE LOUISIANA QUESTIONS. Washington, October 23.—It seems understood among Louisiana politioians, that King’s name will not be Bent to the Senate until near its close. Pinohback arrived last night. The impression grows that the whole Louisiana Senatorial ques* tion will be remitted to the coming ses sion of the Louisiana Legislature. BLAINE AND HIS DAUGHTER. Senator Blaine’s condition is better. Hib daughter’s condition is not dangerous, but the ball is not extracted. She was shot in the face by a premature explosion of a parlor pistol. SPOFFORD AND KELLOGG BEFORE THE COM*- MITTEE. The Gommittee on Privileges and Elec tions agreed to allow Spofford and Kel- logg, or their representatives, an hour to argue their respective cases. Kellogg’s counsel argued that the President’s de cision as to which was the legal govern ment in Louisiana was subject to review and revocal by Congress. By request Spofford was allowed to defer his argument until to-morrow. The committee then adjourned. HOUSE TO ADJOURN FOR BALTIMORE RACES. The House will meet to-morrow without a quorum and adjourn for the Baltimore races. No nominations to-day. PERSONAL MATTERS. Senor Mata, who has been here for some time with credentials from the Diaz Government, returns to Mexico in a few days. His retirement is attributed to ill health, but the real cause is said to be ill success in scouring* recognition. The Senate confirmed Gov. MoCormick as Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, and chosen Third Assistant Postmaster General. It is said that the English mission has been tendered to Simon Cameron. One hundred and ninety-one Northern Apache Indians surrendered at Wingate, New Mexico. The Indianapolis Journal of to-day prints an editorial revised and approved by Senator Morton, declaring that Presi dent Hayes has done nothing as yet to justify the Republicans in distrusting either his patriotism or Republicanism, and urging for him thetr continued confi dence and support.

Muusey, an eminent divine of the Southern Methodist Churoh, died •uddenly this morning at Jonesboro. Boston, October 23.—A message from the House of BishopB in relation to mar riages with relations was concurred in, and a committee appointed. The number of Bishops now in the Churoh is 28. Increased effort with the freedmen of the South was reoommended. A canon adopted by the House of Bish ops for the creation and government of the proposed order of Deaconesses and Sisters of the Churoh came up for con- current action. Rev. Dr. Huntingdon o‘ jected to tbe provisions in the canon for the government of tbe order whereby Deaconesses would be governed more by Diocesan rule than by a form established by tbe Honse of Bishops. He was hear tily in spirit with the proposed organiza tion. Dr. Leeds, of Maryland, supported the canon as it came reoommended by the committee,as did also Mr. Walsh of Penn sylvania. Judge Sheffey, of Virginia, from the Committee on CauonB, presented minori ty reports proposing that qualifications of women to enter the order be left to the Bishops, and that tbe setting apart of a deaconess should be by a form set forth by the House of Bishops, instead of being in the control of any one Bishop. Dr. Morgan Dix, of New Yoak, ex pressed the opinion that canonical legisla tion was unnecessary. He could not en dorse anything affecting the majority re port. Dr. Clark, of Kentucky, said proper legislation was necessary to place tbe Church in its proper position before tbe world, and declared himself in favor of the canon as reported from the House of Bishops. It would serve to protect the Church from any discredit. Rev. Dr. Sh&ttuck, of Massachusetts, thought any legislation or canonical law in rslation to the matter unnecessary. Dr. Fulton, of Wisconsin, believed that tbe sisterhood should be governed by legislation, the same to be made by the respective diooesan conventions as re garded tbe work of the order in their re spective jurisdictions. Special to Enquirer-Sun.} Boston, Ootober 23.—In tbe afternoon session tbe canon proposing an organize tion of the order of deaconess, or sisters, was discussed and finally laid on the table, which disposes of its offer so far as the present convention is concerned.

London, October 23. —The Times' Paris correspondent say* an article published in the Courier de France, suggesting the immediate formation of a Cabinet of con ciliation, has attracted muoh attention. It is supposed to have been inspired by M. Jules Grevy and other Republican leaders. Pabis, October 23.—Jules Grevy will accept the representation of the ninth arrondissement of Paris, instead of his former constituency, the arrondissement of Dole and the department of Jara, from both of whioh arrondisements he was re turned, because the Republicans attaoh greater and more general significance to bis election in place of the late M. Thiers, although M. Gravy favors a moderate poli cy, believing it to be better for tbe coun try that President MacMabon should serve his term, still if the Marshal does not promptly accept the opportunity now open to him, and sincerely co-operate with the Moderate Liberals in guarantee ing the country against anti-Republioan surprise. M. Grevy is prepared to place himself at the head of a solid Left and maintain its claims, and fulfill the duties imposed by the country in tbe late elec* tions. The Constitutional to-day, deolares that moderation and patience remains tbe watchwords of the Republican party. The Orleanist organ Lesolcil, insists npon a compromise, whioh it deolares is not only possible but neoessary. NO CHANGE IN MINISTRY—ANOTHER DEPUTY SENTENCED.

WENDELL PHILLIPS VERSION OF THE QUAR*» EEL, AND EX-SECRETARY FIBU’s DENIAL. Boston, Ootober ID.—Wendell Phillips, in a leoture last night on Charles Sumner, strongly denounced Oen. Grant’s recent statement that Senator Sumner was neg ligent of his business as Chairman of the Committee on Foreign Affairs, and lied about the San Domingo treaty. Mr. Phil lips intimated that President Grant was in no state to understand anything when Mr. Sumner called to inform him that ho wonld not support tbe treaty. In regard to Mr. Motleys recall, Mr. Phillips said the reoords in the State Department in blaok and white prove that the Adminis tration stooped to a falsehood; that Mr. Fish exhorted Mr. Sumner to take the Britith mission, and told him he ought to go to London; that six months later tho Minister was recalled ou the grouud that he bad leaned too muoh on the opinion of a great Northern Senator; that Mr. Sumner’s indignant exclamation to Mr. Fish was : “If Mr. Motley’s leaning was an unpardonable sin, by what right did yon sit in my study six months Ago and urge me to go to England, and press my views on the Alabama claims ? Sir, you are a tool of the President for base pur poses, and this removal is out of spite.” Ex-Seoretary Fish, who is a delegate to the Episcopal Convention here, was questioned to-day by a 'Transcript re porter with respect to the above. With* regard to the ulleged negligence of Mr. Sumner while Chairman of the Foreign Affairs committee, Mr. Fish said it was a fact susceptible of proof from the Senate records that drafts of treaties, from eight to eleven in number, remained in tho hands of the committee for several months—Romo of them, as near as Mr. Fish oould remember, for more than two years. Mr. Fish did not impute this de lay of public business to negligenoe on the part of Mr. Sumner. The fAot, how ever, remained that business was delayed, together with another fact, that after Mr. Sumner’s retiracy tho entire batch of treaties was disposed of in less than fonr months. Regarding the San Domingo Treaty, Mr. Fish denied that the President placed the treaty in Mr. Sumner’s hands, as he never had it in hiB possession. He Baid that Mr. Sumner favored tbe treaty until he found that J. M. Ashley, of Ohio, was not to be Commissioner to San Domingo ; then he placed himself in opposition. Mr. Fish also denied that the mission to England was “urged” upon Mr. Sumner, as claimed by Wendell Phillips, and de nied the conversation between him and Sumner relative to Mr. Motley’s removal, wherein Mr. Sumner is reported as say ing. “Sir, you are the tool of the Presi dent for base purposes, and this removal is out of spite.” The statement that President Grant placed the San Domingo treaty into Mr. Sumner’s hands, as related by Mr. Phil* lips, Mr. Fish characterizes as ridiculous ly untrue. The President never had the treaty papers in his possession, but they were in the hands of the Secretary of State. Tbe President, in conversation with Mr. Sumner, laid before that gentle man the features of the treaty. This in formation was impartod orally. No writ ten or printed document was read to the Senator. Mr. Sumner made no opposi tion to any of its features, indeed, so warmly did he express his approval of it that a gentleman present at the interview, who prior to that time had placed himself in opposition to the measure, was made friendly to it solely by arguments used by Mr. Sumner. Mr. Fish says Mr. Sumner continued to favor tbe treaty until the selection of a Commissioner to San Domingo came up for settlement, and when ho fouud that J. M. Ashley, of Ohio, was not to be a nominee. He then placed himself in direot opposition to it. Tho conversation between President Grant aud Mr. Sumner took plaoe toward the last of December, I860, or the first of January following,and in February, Mr. Fish says, two Souators, Mr. Sohurz and Mr. Stewart of Nevada, gentlemen of opposite political viewH, canvassed tho Senate, and found that the treaty oould not pass that, body—that it was dead. Mr. Sumner was not removed from the Foreign Committee at tho re assembling of Congress in the fall, but, upon the meeting of Congress in 1871, ho was not re appointed. llis term hod expired. He was not removed. He was not at that time on speaking terms with either the President or Secretary of State. Wbf Are Wc It igtit-lf umled 7 Investigations whioh wore receutly car ried through by a French physician, Dr. Fleury, of Bordeaux, have adduced facts showing that our natural impulse to use the members on the right side of the body is clearly traceable to probably physiological Cannes. Dr. Fleury, ofter examining an immense number of human brains, asserts that tbe left interior lobe is a little larger than the right one. Again, be shows that, by examining a large number of people, there is an une qual supply of blood to the two sides of body. Tbe braobioeephalio trunk, which only exists on the right of tho arch of tho aorta, produces, by a difference in termi nation, an inequality in tho waves of red, which travel from right to left. More over, the diameters of the Rubclavian ar teries on each side are different, that on the left being noticeably larger. The loft lobe of tbe brain, therefore, being more riohly biomatosed than the right, becomes stronger; aud, as by tbo intersection of the nervous fiber, it oommands tbo right side of tho body, it is obvious that that side will bo more readily controlled. This furnishes one reason for tho natural pre ference for the right hand, and another is found in the increased supply of blood from the subclavian artery* The augmen tation of blood we have already seen sug gested; but the reason for it is here as cribed to the relative size of tho artery, and not to any directness of pnth from tbe heart. Dr. Fleury has carried his in vestigations through tho whole series of mammalia; and he finds that the right- handed peculiarities exist in all that have arteries arranged similar to those of man. At the same time such animals, notably the chimpanzee, the seals and the beavers, are the most adroit and intelligent. Nenit tor .viorton'n Health* New York, Ootober 25.—A Cincinnati dispatch says when Dr. Bliss reached In dianapolis be found Senator Morton’s con dition less favorable than he expected to. Washington, Oct, 23.—Indications: For tbe South Atlantic and East Gulf States warmer, clear or partly oloudy weather, light variable winds, mostly from tbe north, and nearly stationary pressure. Her golden tresses of luxuriant hair, Entwined a form so beautiful and fair, That all who gazed by day or night, Were charmed with tho new angelic sight. Her hair in graceful ringlets draped the floor, And the man who saw her wus only to adore; The ladies from afar desired to know, The wonderful tonic making tho hair grow. She unveiled her face and smilingly said: “Smith’s llair Rostorativo beautified my head; It contains no poison and it is no dye, And once a week you need only apply. octlld(kw2w its charters, government, and customs. Now York Sun.] London, Oct. 1.—The city of London— I mean that inner and limited part of the great metropolis which is commonly aud legally kndwn as tho city, and whioh con stitutes less than 1-110 of the area, and less than 1-40 of the population of entire London—has a government no less singu lar and remarkable than the city itself. Resting npon charters whose language is often archaio, and whose meaning is as vague us tho utterauooH of tho ancient Delphic oracle, tho eorporate government, nevertheless, olaiuiH and exercises powers aud privileges whioh stamp it as one of the most gigantic of monopolies. Not one of its many charters Iirh tho form of a statutory euactiueut, and henee their provisions have nover had definite expla nation; yet they are held to have the force of an aot of Parliament, for, in the reign of William and Mary, « case of quo war ranto came beforo Parliament, aud tho rights, charters aud privileges of the eity of London were regrantod. What those rights and privileges were the aot did not attempt to specify or defino. To simply reaffirm was less trouble than to ex plain. The first (charter was granted by Wil liam the Conqueror,in theso words: “Wil liam tho King greets William the Bishop, and Godfrey tho Portreeve (Mayor), and all the burghers within Loudon, French and English, friendly; aud 1 make known to you that I will that ye bo law-worthy as ye wore in the days of King Edwurd. And I will that each child be his father's heir after his father’s days. And I will not suffer that any man command you any wrong. God keep you.” Subsequent charters were mostly grauted by needy sovereigns, who had reeeivod substantial favors from the wealthy city; aud the privileges so granted were often gross injustice to tho citizens of tho rest of the kingdom. In the latter part of the seven teenth oentnry, the oity was grauted the right to levy a duty of four ponce per chaldron on all ooal imported, forever. That duty is still faithfully collected, and yields a very snug sum. A grain duty of three-sixteenths of a penny per owt. is also levied on all gram brought into the port of London. It seems strange that snob monstrosities should ho allowed to continue; but tho English are very con servative, and it takes a foroo somewhat liko that of an earthquake or a revolution to make them perceive that something is wrong. The various city charters com prise some 120 documents. Tho corporate Government is a very olose monopoly. The Lord Mayor is se lected from among tho Aldermen, and serves one year. Immediate re-elections are rare, though they do sometimes occur. Tho celebrated Whittington was Mayor four terms—not successive ones, how** ever. The freemen of tho city—that is, the members of tho various oity liveries— nominate two Aldermen for the office of Lord Mayor, and the Aldermen then make choioe betweon these two. The oandi - dates may vote for themselves if they please. The Aldermen are 20 in number, and are elected for life.' A Common Council of 232 members is also elected, and constitutes a court inferior to that of the Aldermen. Other oity officers are appointed by tho Aldermen and Common Connoil, and hold offioo during tbe pleas ure of the appointing power. The corpo rate Government soems to be responsible to no one in particular, except itself. That ought to be a very happy condition of life. There is no awkward pnblio at their back to oheckmato tueir littlo games, or refuse them supplies. It is a sort of officeholders’ paradise, and our public- ridden American officials may be pleased to hear of it. A very interesting contest has been in progress for some tiino past for a vacant place in tho Conrt of Aldermen. When the vacancy occurred an election was ordered, and Sir John Bennett was elected by a handsomo mnjority. Tho Court of Aldermen, for some occult reason that no ono else seems able to understand, re fused to admit him, and another election was ordered. Kir John was elected again by a vote of 217 to 01), and tho Court of Aldermen again rejected him, aud ordered a third election. This morning placards were np, in whioh Sir John again places hiniRelf before tho electors of tho Ward of Cheap for eleotion to tho post of Aider- man. lie will, no doubt, bo agnin chosen, and it is difficult to so a how the matter is to terminate. Tho Daily News Rpoaks of tho “Unroformod Corporation of Lon don,” and thus speaks of its action in tho present case: “Do they not see tho dan ger of raising a dispute within the walls, which may result in lotting in tho reform which has long waited outside tho city? Wo hope they do not, for thoy may thus hasten an inevitable oliaugo.” Tho Lord Mayor, in addition to his salary, has a staff of officers suited to hin station,a furnished residence,free of rent, and the use of gold and silver plate to the value of $200,000. Tho running expenses of tho establishment usually exceed bis salary. During his year of office ho on- joys a nominal power in his little domain scarcoly loss absolute than that of a mon arch. However, there is no vejy littlo need of exercising these parchment pre rogatives, and any attempt to oxeroise some of them might be somowbat bazars dous. Tho Lord Mayor lias $50,000 a year; his Chief Clerk, $4,000; Town Clerk,$ 10,000; Common Serjeant. $12,750; Judge of City of London Court,$J2,000; Assistant Judge of Mayor’s Conrt, $8,000; Commissioner of Police, $o,ooo; Remembrancer, $10,* 000; Solicitor, $10,000; Coroner, $4,425; Architect and Surveyor, $10,000; Hoad Master of City of London School foot a free public school, let me add], $5,000; Register of Small Debts Court, $5,000; Clerk and Registrar of Coal Market, $7,- 000; Chamberlain, $10,000; Principal Clerk to Chamberlain, $5,000; Collect of Wiue Dues, $2,500. In addition their salaries, most of those officers are receipt of various feos, which largely augment their incomes, aud they are Also entitled to attend all the civic banquets. In theso gastronomic displays the city shines with peculiar lustre. The corporate Government ispossissed of real property, which is variously estimated, but it cm- not bo loss than $10,000,000, and its in come, aside from taxes, is immense. Banquets consume no small part of it. Tho entertainment of tho Sultan of Tur key and tho King of Belgium in 1872 is put down at more than $150,000; that of the Shah of Persia,$75,000; and that of tho Czar, in 1874, at $08,000. Tho last re ception of tho Prince of Wales by the oity cost more than $137,000, and the items of tbo hill furnish some interesting figures. Tho amount named does not in clude tbe cost of a train gown, state train robe, and velvet reception robe for tho Lord Mayor, which came to $880. Up holsterers’ work for tho dayoame to $22,- 070; carpenters’work, $11,130; painters work, $0,425; and a temporary buildiug' over the Guildhall yard cost more than $20,000. Ono firm received $25,000 for tho banquet, and another firm $8,000 for wines alone. Soda water came to $265; flowers to $3,900; budges for committee, $2,750; hair brushes and perfumery,$725; wauds $585; the toast master received $135; tho superintending of the wine cost $020; champagne knives, $315. Banquet and all ball tiokets came to $2,975; and various officials received $2,500 as gra tuities. Tho city debt is over $27,000,000. But tbo most aggravated evil connected with this city government is, that the mass of the metropolis about it is by its presence prevented from enjoying full munioipal powers. It is true that the few bodies, like tho Metropolitan Board of Works and London School Board, pos sess comparatively adequate authority, but tbe omuivorous oity has more than its rightful representation in eaoh. Street improvements in the outer part must be effoctod through vestries or looal boards. In innumerable ways tho people suffer great inconvenience through the lack of a definite city government; and this oan never be had so long as this anoient despotism exists in its very heart. J. W. HE ENJOYED Til K N9IOKE. During tho great war between France and Germany, Prince Bismarck, “the man of blood and iron,” was the aotorin an incideut of a most suggestive and gen teel nature. The Prince is said to be a smokor, ardontly attached to the “weed.” reported to have Haid : “The value of a good cigar is best understood when it is the last you possess, aud there is no ohauco of gotting another.” Most de votees of tobaooo in any form soom to lelight iu their bondage to it, and seemed to be miserable if deprived of it. It is said that BiRtnarck had oberished his last cigar all through a battle, in glad antici pation of the luxury in store for him, when ho suddenly and gladly deprived himself of the smoke giving solace. In his own words, “I painted in glowing colors iu my mind the happy hour I should enjoy with it after the victory. But. I had miscalculated tho chance. A poor dragoon lay helpless with both arms crushed, murmuring for something to refresh him. I folt in my pockets, and found that I bad only gold, and that would be of no use to him. But Rtay; I had still my treasured eigar! I lighted this for him, and placed it between his teeth. You should have seen the poor fellow’s grateful smilo. I never enjoyed cigar so muoh as that one I did not smoko.” A New York Soandal.—There has boon an unph usunt scandal up in the neighborhood of Tenth avenue and tho Park. About a year and a half ago a young roan, a drummer for a commercial house, made his appoaranoe in New York, coming from Chicago, became acquainted with a pretty young woman, paid court to her and married her. They lived together happily till last May, ono ohild being born to tbnm; then the husband, under tho plea of business, whioh would occupy him all summer, set out for Atlanta, Ga. Some littlo time after tho wife received nowh from Chicago concerning her ab sent lord which startled hor. Sho made inquiries, and was not long in finding out that he had loft a wifo and ohild in Chi cago when ho oiimo on East and married hor, and that previous to that he had deserted at least ono wifo iu Iowa. Fur ther research showed that ho had married a fourth wifo in Atlanta, with whom ho was living in the honeymoon. A World reporter, hearing of tho complioation, sought out the betrayed New York wife and inquired when sho proposed tnking aotion to unmask and punish tho deceiver, aud was somewhat surprised to learn that sho intended to take no notion whatever. “O,” said tbo reporter, in astonishment, “tho old love—with all his faults you love him Htill—that is, you shrink from tho publicity” “Not at all,” said the betrayed woman calmly, “but another gontlomnn is paying attention to mo, and thinks I am n widow, and—and you will oblige mo by publishing nothing about the matter.”— World. AN OPEN LETTER TO THE PUBLIC. New York, October 1st, 1877. I have devoted twenty years of patient study to tho Livor aud its relations to tho human body, in sonroh of a romody whioh would restore it, when diseased, to its normal condition. The result of that la* hor has been the production of TUTT’tt FIVER FILLS. Their popularity has become so extended and tho demum! ho great as to induce un scrupulous parties to counterfeit them, thereby roduing me of the reward, anil the alliicted of their virtues. TO CAUTION THE PUBLIC, and protect them from vile impositions, I have adopted a now label, which bears my trade-mark and notioo of its entry iu the Offioo of the Librarian of Congress, also my signature, thus ; WTTo Counterfeit this is forgery. Before purchasing, examine the label closely. THE GENUINE TUTT'S PILLS exert a peculiar influence on the system. Their action is prompt, and their good effects are felt in a few hours. A quar ter of a century of study of tho Liver has demonstrated that it exerts a greater in fluence over the system than any other or gan of the body, and when diseased tho entire organism is deranged. It is speci ally for tho healing of this vital organ that I have spent ho many years of toil, and having found tho remedy, which has proved the greatest boon over furnished the afflicted, ahall thoy ho deprived of its benefits, and a vile imitation imposed up on them ? Let the honest people of America see TO IT THAT THEY ARE NOT DEFRAUDED: Scrutinize tho label closely, see that it boars all tho marks above mentioned, and buy the medicine only from respectable dealers. It can ho found everywhere. Very respectfully, « V*. H. TUTT. HA NO I HANG!! HANOI!! Down went tho price of Oysters! Fries 50 oents; StewH 40 oents; Raws 25 cents; Other Meals 50 cents. A. F.
