Synopsis or Weather Statement.
Wae Djep’t, Office Chief Signal Officer, )
Washington, D. 0. March 25,1871. j
The lowest barometer still continues over tho
Eastern Stales, where high northwest winds
have prevailed all day. A very low pressure,

London, March 25.—Fecamp has been re-
occupied by GOO Prussians. The dispatch from
the Government at Versailles for volunteers to
re-establish order in Paris, elicited a small re
sponse in Havre. Commune has been re-estab

effect. The town is quiet.
Paris, March 25.—(Special to the New York
Telegram:) The loyal battalions of the Na
tional Guard occupy the market street Honore,
Palais Royal, Bue Mont Martre, Grand Hotel,
La Bourse, St. Lazare, and a railroad station.
Tho population of Bologno are greatly ex
cited over the events in the metropolis, and
through public meetings express a desire to
have the communistic revolutionists put down.

Uoulvvell Once More.
Washington, March 22.—It is rumored that
Secretary Boulwell will shortly retire from the
Treasury Department, to be succeeded by Sena
tor Morton. A story is current that the Presi
dent has become satisfied thst Bontwell’s finan
cial policy is unpopular, and if continued will
get the Administration into inextricable trouble.
San Domingo.—The President stated to seve
ral Senators, yesterday, that he had no inten
tion of pressing the San Domingo business this
session. Should the Commissioners arrive be
fore Congress adjourns, their report will prob
ably be sent in; bnt it is stated that no treaty
of annexation will be submitted. It is consid
ered by the warmest friends of the measure that
to press annexation now would simply insure
defeat.
democratic strength In the house.
The Democratic strength in the House will be
increased to one hundred members by the gain
in New Hampshire. Three more are expected
from the Connecticut election, two from Cali
fornia and two from Texas, which will make
the House stand at the next session 136 Bepub-
licans to 107 Democrats. The Democrats will
then only lack fifteen votes to control the House.
However, with the present number which de
stroys the tWb-thirds rule, and the reinforce
ments they are constantly receiving from tho
Revenue Reform Republicans, they have thus
far in the session carried every measure they
have brought forward, and defeated all attempts
of the Radicals at extreme legislation.
THE WEST POINT KU-KLUX BUSINESS.
No attention has been paid to the action of
the House in regard to the West Point troubles,
and it is not expected that any will be. Fleck-
enger, one of the three cadets who were driven
away by the mob of the first class, has been re
appointed by hia member of Congress and will
re-enter the Academy in June. The other two
were not re-instated, nor can it be learned that
any measures have been taken to punish the
persons engaged in the lynching affair. The
Secretary of War felt nnder no obligation to re
gard tho House resolution, because it recom
mended him to do what the law would not per
mit, namely, to convene a court of inquiry which
can only be done by the President, and tUEi
President is understood to have said that the
resolutions of the House were of no more con
sequence than the doings of a town meeting.—
Western Press dispatches.
The following resolution was recently intro
duced and adopted in the County Court at Nash
ville :
“Resolved, That the portrait nowplaced over
the chair of the Judge of tins Court, and pur
porting to be the likeness of the Father of our
Country, General George Washington, bnt
which looks more like the Jack of Clubs, be re
moved from this hall, and the Court-house Com
mittee be authorized to have a true likeness of
the pare patriot, George Washington, put in
its place.”
Withdraws from the Contest.
We find the following letter from the Hon.
Nelson Tift in the Albany News, of yesterday.
Comment npon it is deferred till onr next issue:
Albany, Ga., March 21,187L
To the Citizens of the Second Congressional
District:—When I accepted your nomination as
the candidate of the Democratic party for elec
tion, to represent yon in Congress, it was with
a purpose single to your interests and my duty,
and the course which I now adopt is dictated by
the same motives.
In December last, as shown by the official re
turns, I was elected to the 41st Congress by a
majority of 500 votes, and to the 42d Congress
by a majority of 504 votes. By means which
have been explained in House Miscellaneous
Document, No. 68, parts 1st, 2d and 3d, 41st
Congress, 3d session, certificates of election
were issued by Governor Bullock, to my oppo
nent, B. H. Whiteley, for both the 41st and 42d
Congress, upon which he hug been seated.
I gave notice of contest for the seat in the
41st Congress, and subsequently for the 42d
Congress, wjiile there was yet hope that the law
would be vindicated. After mnoh delay and
difficulty, I procured and placed before the
Committee of Eleotions, certified copies of the
election returns, convincing them that I was
elected, and that the certificate was wrongfully
issued to Mr. Whiteley. But a majority of the
committee declined to report the faots, and
permitted the wrong to he continued in the 41st,
and to be repeated in the 42d Congress.
This is bnt a repetition of the injustice of the
Badical majority in cases from other States
where Badical governors have usurped the
rights of tho people and given certificates of
election to the minority candidates of their own
party—they have been seated and retained
their seats in spite of contests which have
shown that they were not elected.
Judging from my experience and these facts,
and from the facility which ha3 already been
shown by onr opponents in Sumter and Pulaski
counties in procuring false testimony to suit
their purpose—as shown in the document above
referred to—it would, in my opinion, be a waste
of time and means to again prove by respecta
ble citizens what has been already demonstrated,
only to be denied by unscrupulous Badical par
tisans whose testimony would again, as hereto
fore, be taken as a sufficient pretext to justify
the wrong which has been committed.
With this conviction, I cannot willingly snb-
ject onr people to the excitement, loss of time
and means, and loss of labor from the crops
which a long contest in tho different counties
in the district would necessarily involve, with
no prospect of redress. I regret the official de
moralization and wrong which, in my judg
ment, makes this course proper. Bnt such
wrongs find their compensation in arousing the
people to the dangers which threaten their in
stitutions, and will thus aid the movement now
in progress, which, in 1872, will drive the Bad
ical party from power, regenerate the Govern
ment and bring peace and prosperity to onr
country.
In again taking my place in the ranks by yonr
side, I desire to say, that during my brief offi
cial career, next to the consciousness of having
performed my duty faithfully, according to the
best of my judgment and ability, yonr confidence
and approval has been my best reward, and will
ever be remembered with gratitude.
Very respectfully,
Your obedient servant,
Nelson Tift.
Letter from Jolm Quincy Adams.
The Atlanta Intelligencer, of yesterday,
prints the following:
Quincy, Mass., March 17,1871.
Samuel Bard, Esq.:
Dear Sm—I have received two copies of tho
True Georgian, the first containing an able
article on Judge Stephens’ speech, and the lat
ter, on “The Present and the Future.” I need
not say that the policy indicated seems to me
wise, and the only ono which ensures success.
The North can never be carried for a new revo
lution. We must go forward and not back. We
most demand self-government for all, and guar
anty equal rights to every man.
Democrats must be Democratic to succeed.
Give a Democratic administration which shall
secure the rights of the States and regard the
limits of the Federal Constitution, and all of
ns, South 03 well as North, can conduct our
home matters a3 people at home desire, and if
that is not the best way then the whole fabrio is
a vision. Very respectfully,
J. Q. Adams.
Anarchy in Paris.
What mischief are the moboerats' of Paris
doing to. tho oanse of popular government in
Europe! But the World draws from it another
good lesson as follows:
We wish the terrible experience of France
might teach the abettors of centralization in
thin country a wholesome lesson. The perma
nence of onr republican institutions depends
npon the equal diffusion of political life and po
litical influence through all parts of the country.
The form of a republio would be a hollow and
deceitful mockery from tho day that central in
fluence should prostrate local independence.
The Tribune makes open proclamation that,
like the House of Bepresentatives in 1862, it
has no confidence in the pecuniary integrity of
Simon Cameron, who snooeeds Charles Sumner
at the head of the Committee of Foreign Rela
tions, against whom, with all hia faults, the
breath of that snspicion never blew.
Condition of Mississippi.—Gov. ^corn’s let
ter, an allusion to which has figured in our tele
grams from Washington, says:
I am informed that dispatches have been for
warded to Washington derogating from the
power of this government to enforce the law.
I desire to correct that misrepresentation, and
to state that it finds no justification in fact. A
riot oconrred recently at Meridian, but was
promptly suppressed. The parties are now un
dergoing legal investigation. Some minor out
rages have been committed in other points of
the Alabama border in the night by parties in
disguise. My only difficulty in these cases is to
discover the wrong-doers, bnt that overcome, as
I confidently hope it will be, this government is
powerful to make them fear the consequences
of their crimes. ’Save in these cases, Missis
sippi presents an unbroken evidence of civil obe
dience and order.
It was this declaration of fact which drew
from the Mississippi Radicals in Congress the
charge that Alcorn was about to tom Democrat.
Ex-Confederate Officers in Congress.—
The following ex-Confederato officers occupy
seats in the present House of Bepresentatives
at Washington:
F. M. B. Young, Dem., of Ga., Maj. Gen. C S A.

What the Ex-Empebob Says.—A Dover (Eng
land) correspondent of the World represents
Louis Napoleon as expressing himself as follows
at a recent interview at that place:
“My return to France is only a question of
time. Sooner or later, she will summon me to
save her from the incapables, who are now dis
playing their folly and madness in shedding
her blood and plunging her into anarchy. My
pretended deposition will never be ratified by
the people. There are only two parties in
France who possess real strength—the Repub
licans and Imperialists—bnt the Empire alone
is able to conduct France to true and perma
nent liberty. The Orleanists possess only im-»
aginary strength. They dare not venture an
appeal to the popular wilL” The Emperor is in
excellent health.
Not Beaten by Defatlt ob Apathy.—The
Boston Post has the following:
This New Hampshire election has gone by
default npon a short vote.—N. Y. Herald.
The vote was 3000 in excess of 1870.
Had the Republicans of New Hampshire
shaken off the apathy which prevailed in that
State, and done their whole duty on Tuesday,
we should not listen now to the exhuberant
shouts of the opposition, or note the ill-oon-
eealed chagrin of those who have for so many
years found comfort in the returns from the
Granite State.—N. Y. Commercial Advertiser.
The Republicans cast a thousand more votes
tins year than they did last It is not a “short
vote” or “apathy” which has prodaoed the re
sult in New Hampshire, but conversion.
Tlie Seint-Koya) .leddiog.
The York Herald, of Wednesday, has a spe
cial telegraphio report of the marriage of the
Princess Lonise to the Marquis of Lorn, which
wa3 solemnized last Tuesday, at one. o’clock, at
tho Royal Chapel of St. George, Windsor Castle.
The Londoners were much dissatisfied that it
did not take place at St. Paul’s or Westminster,
It was a grand holiday—the guests were nu
merous—the people ont in great force—the bells
pealed—flowers—triumphal arches and festive
decorations were thick, and the goose hung
hifih. We excise the following particulars, so
that in case any of our young lady readers
should unexpectedly be called upon to marry a
prince of the blood royal, they will know how to
The interior of the Chapel of St. George
presented a most raagnificeqt appearance. The
walls and front of the galleries were deaorated
with the various knightly banners which hang
in the church by right of honor. There were
men in the most gorgeous uniforms, ladies in
the richest robes, the sparkling and sheen of
diamonds, and a glorious sunshine streaming
in through the ancient windows, and lighting
up the scene. Premier Gladstone, the remain
der of the Cabinet Ministers—I believe* every
one of them—the foreign Ambassadors serving
“near” the Court of her Majesty, the Queen,
with the very “cream” of the “society” of
Great Britain, were present. Of the bridal par
ty the first arrival was the most noble, the Duke
of Argyll, father of the bridegroom. The Duke
was dressed in full Highland costume, the ma
terial of the richest description, and the orna
ments of gold. The Duke was accompanied by
his wife, the Duchess of Argyll—the “dear
Lady Leveson Gower,” of Queen Victoria’s
early household—mother of the Marquis of
Lorn. The Duchess of Argyll was robed in a
costume fashioned of what is known as cloth of
silver. Her- Royal Highness, the Princess of
Wales, wore a robe of bine satin with a train of
bine velvet. Her Royal Higness entered the
chapel leading the children of the Prince of
Wales, the little ones clad in full Highland
dress. The Princess Christian—Princess Helena
Angnsta, sister of the bride—wore a robe of
pink satin trimmed with white lace. There
who appeared in a perfect blaze of scarlet, gold
and diamonds. After a short time the bride
groom, the Marqnis of Lorn, entered the church
horn the reception room which had been set
apart for Ms use. The magnificent choir of St.
George’s chapel intoned an anthem immediate
ly. The Marqnis of Lorn was attended by his
groomsmen, Earl Persey and Lord Leverson
Gower. All three of the noble personages were
dressed in the uniform of the Volunteer Argyll
shire Rifle Artillery—green cloth, trimmed with
silver.
THE MARQUIS AT THE ALTAR.
The Marqnis of Lorn appeared pale ond ner
vous as he approached and stood by the altar.
Queen Victoria then entered. Her Majesty was
robed in a dress of black satin, cut very low
around the neck. She wore a coronet of diamonds
and a long veil of the richest lace. Her Royal
Highness the Princess Lonise—the bride elect—
followed her mother, the Queen. The Prin
cess wore a dress of white satin with
train of white, velvet, a veil of Honiton
lace, and a wreath of orange flowers. Eight
bridesmaids—daughters of dukes and earls—
bore up the train of the bride as she advanced
to the altar. The noble ladies who were honored
by the Queen by being named to perform this
act of friendship and duty were:—Lady
Constance Seymour, daughter of the Marquis of
Hertford; Lady Elizabeth Campbell, daughter
of the Duke of Argyll; Lady Florence Lennox,
daughter of the Duke of Richmond; Lady Mary
Butler, daughter of the Marchioness of Or
monde ; Lady Alico.Fitzgerald, daughter of the
Marquis of Kildare; Lady Grace Gordon,
daughter of the Dowager Marchioness of Hunt-
ly; Lady Florence Montagu, daughter of the
Earl of Sandwich; Lady _ Agatha Russell,
daughter of Earl Rnssell. The bridesmaids
were dressed in pure white silk. They had on
white necklaces and wreaths of roses, and ap
peared beantifnl and elegant in their compara
tively simple toilets. The bridesmaids did not
wear veils. Qneen Victoria and the Princess
Lonise knelt before the high altar of the chnrch
daring a few moments, engaged in prayer. The
Marquis of Lorn, attended by the groomsmen,
advanced to the altar immediately afterwards.
The Lord Bishop of London, assisted by their
Lordships the Most Reverend the Bishops of
Oxford and Worcester, performed the ceremony
of marriage according to the rito of the Pro
testant Episcopal Chnrch. Queen Victoria
gave away the bride. The Princess Lonise
made the reponses to the clergy in a clear, audi
ble voice, but the bridegroom, Lord Lorn, was
almost inaudible in his replies." At the very
moment of the conclusion of the ceremony the
Queen took the bride in her arms, folded her to
her heart and gave her & hearty kiss. The
Marqnis of Lorn bent on his knee and kissed
the Queen’s hand. Tho royal party then re
ceived the congratulations of all who were en-
tilled by rank to offer them. After this the
party quitted the chapel slowly. The bride and
bridegroom and the Queen were received with
cheers by the crowd outside, and “wedding
favors” were waved on both sides during the
passage of the cortege back to the Castle of
Windsor.
WEDDING FETE.
A wedding breakfast was served in the Castle
to all the invited guests who had witnessed the
ceremony. The royal party breakfasted sepa
rately and without company. Two immense
“right royal" wedding cakes were served to the
gnests and people. The bride retired for the
purpose of changing her dress. She reappeared
after a short time clad in a most charming trav
elling costnme, made of the Campbell tartan
plaid. In company with her husband, Lord
Lorn, the Princess took a carriage for Clare
mont, where the happy pair will spend the
honeymoon. The road was ornamented with
trinmphal arches along the entire route from
Windsor to Claremont. The people were out
in great force and cheered the bride and bride
groom with an uninterrupted good will all the
way from the chapel grounds until they entered
their new home. The event is being celebrated
with salvos of artillery in all the principal cities
of the United Kingdom.
The Colobed Members from Florida.—A
Washington letter writer relates this of the suf-
frage-slinger from Florida:
There is no end to the illustrations whioh go
to prove that we are all creatures of habit.—
The Hon. JosiahT. Walls, colored member from
Florida, is or was a tonsorial professor in the
days when colored men could make themselves
useful in other departments of life remote from
lawmaking. The other morning he chanced to
lounge into the CongreBsionaal barber shop,
which opens upon the floor of the House, to kill
time while the clerk was monotonously chant
ing a long journal. Hon. John T. Wilson, the
illustrious Usurer and Nincompoop from the
Eleventh Ohio District, came into have the
rough meadow of his cheek mown. He threw
himself into a vacant chair and twisted his long
legs together like a doughnut There was no
barber at leisure to serve him. Seeing the sit
uation, and urged by the impulse of the moment,
Walls jumped from his seat, and seizing* a enp
and brnsh, proceeded to copiously lather the
lower end of Mr. William’s florid phiz. Before
the deft manipulator could find a razor to hone,
he realized his mistake, and quietly, though
much abashed, slid out of the saloon and re
sumed his chair in the House. The respect for
Mr. Walls upon the John Brown side of the hall
was not in the least modified by this incident.
The Rural Carolinian fob Afbil—if possi
ble, more full of good things than usual—comes
to our editorial table a welcome visitor. Well
edited, handsomely illustrated, and replete with
valuable information for the planter, farmer and
gardener. We need, however, make no special
praise of this magazine. The reputation it has
obtained, and the appreciation in which it is
held by its tens of thousands of readers, axe the
Burest marks of its great worth.
We cannot too highly commend the talent and
exceedingly practical ability of its editor-in-
chief, Colonel D. H. Jacques, who, aided by a
valuable and influential number of the best ag-
ricultural writers of this country, has made the
magazine what It is.
One remarkable feature of this magazine is
its prompt delivery. It is mailed in time to
reach every subscriber by the first of the month,
and if there is anv failure it must be in the
Postoffice Department This promptness is a
characteristic of the entire business manage
ment of the proprietors. It is not only in the
Rural Carolinian it is shewn, bnt in every detail
of their large and flourishing business, of which
the Rural Carolinian, as large an enieiprise as
that is, is only a small department
