Ex-Governor Brown, in his letter
on the Presidential issue, expressed
the true sentiments of tho entire peo
ple of the South.
J xmrh Odiums Bennett was to have :
married a Miss May on tho 3d instant
but instead of getting married, he got
a cow-hiding, which served him just

It is now reported that Senator
Alcorn says lie can’t stand tho Louis

seating any Senator elected by the
Legislature counted by the Louisiana
returning board.
Wn give place to tho most excel
lent. inaugural address of Gov. Drew,
of Florida, which our readers will
find well worthy a perusal. It lias
the ring of true patriotism and broad
statesmanship, in which ho clearly
demonstrates that he is not the Gov
ernor of a political party, but of the
State of Florida. How unlike his
predecessor, who was tho Governor
and protector of the logue party only.
James Gordon Hexsi.it and Frede
rick May, it \s said, met on the line
of the Delaware railroad and passed
their compliments by an exchange of
bullets, but not a drop of blood. The
matter was then settled, and they
returned in the same ear to Phila
delphia. It is said that Dennett still
loves Miss May, and who can tell but
a general reconciliation will follow
iu the wake of bad and bloody pas
sions, and that the marriage may yet
be consummated.
Vanderbilt Intel tliree friends atnon"
ministers, and lie seemed to enjoy
their society more than that of most
other men. One was the late Dr.
Choules, a jolly Baptist jiarnon, who
went aronnd ihe world with hnn and
kept bis dinner table lively with wit
and humor which was anything but
pious. Another was the liev. Dr. Co
rey, also a Baptist, as fond of stocks
and horses as tlio old Commodore
himself. The third.was the liev. Dr.
Deems, to whom he has doubtless left
a handsome legacy.
The Democratic programme at
New Orleans is for the Democratic
Tjegishif iiro to make the count from
the Commissioners’ returns and in
augurate the legally State officers.
They will establish anew Supreme
Court and ane w police force. They
will not he aggressive, but will‘defend
what they establish. The Republi
cans resolve to use United States
troops to disperse the Democratic gov
ernment on the first overt act.
Mr. Fernando Wood has given
notice of bis intention to ferret out the
significance of the following advertise
ment, which recently appeared in one
of the daily papers at Washington:
“Wanted—Two ladies, attractive,
to prosecute several good bids to pas
sage by both Houses of Congress. To
those who will be satisfactory a liberal
salary will bo paid. Address W. W.,

Searching for Treasure.- Since the
recent storms, which have washed
away the upper portions of thoChrsel
beach Portland, in England, searchers
have been busily engaged in quest of
treasure, which has Veen at times
revealed imbedded in tho blue clay,
the West Bay having been the place
where two teasnre galleons wont to
pieces iu the storm which succeeded
the defeat of the invincible armada.
The bar of dark looking metal found
by a Portlander proved upon test to
be a bar of pure silver, three pounds
two ounces in weight, valued at £l2.
Wlmt the Republicans want is to
he assured that the people are mar
rowless, and grnelly enough to acqui
esce in Haye>’ fraudulent inangnra
tion. If : rich is the temper, Hayes
will bo hoisted into the White House
by the conspirators. The plotters
may rest assured that the popular
backbone is stiffening up against the
apparent design. The people know
that, either by the face or by going
behind the returns, Tilden is elected.
'That is enough. The conspirators
can go to the devil. (Juurh'r-Journal.
Major McFarland, the engineer
employed by the Interoceanic Canal
Commission to report on a route
uniting the Atlantic and the Pacific,
says that the Nicaragua way is the
most feasible. The distance would
he si tty-one miles; there is no natural
harbor at either end, and the cost
would be about $110,000,000. The
difficulty would be greater than in
making the Suez canal. The Darien
route would bo much shorter, but
would involve tunnelling.
Among the passengers in a sleeping
car of the Erie railroad t.bo other
night wore a couple of sisters occu
pying a berth together. During the
night one of them had occasion to
got up, and in getting back made a
mistake and got into the next berth
with a man. She supposing it was
her sister who had rolled to the front,
began to nudge the sleeper to lie j
over. The fellow woke up and seized
the girl by the neck,supposing he had
caught a thief. The scene which en
sued was mortifying as well as ainus-!
iug.
Our Washington Letter.
Washington, D. 0., Jan. sth, 1877.
CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
the past week have been composed i
mostly of routine matters; very little
of public importance meeting with j
attention at the hands of our aviso so- j
lons. All of them seem to be anxious- 1
ly awaiting tlio reports of the several I
investigating committees in the South, I
as well as the action of "the electoral 1
vote" committees of the House, both ;
Senators and members generally be-!
ing very non-committal, the Radicals |
watching the Democrats with an eagle
I eye. The caucus re-nouiination of
\pro tain. Ferry to the Senate for the
i next term surprised no one here. It
. was regarded as a matter of course,
and no political significance whatever
attaches thereto. There being no ses
sion to-day of Merton's sub-coinmit
j tee on account of his being in atteud-
J anco on the Senate Electoral Commit
i tee, it is expected Gov. Grover will be
! examined by the committee to-mor
! row. His evidence will not be very
\ flattering to the Radicals, and Mor
i ton will endeavor to handle the “Ore
gon muddle” cautiously.
The electoral college of Oregon is
j here in I lie person of Mr. Cronin,
j who, it is said, will appear again bo
| fore Morton’s sub-committee. The
Radicals didn’t elicit anything to their
! benefit before, and they desire anoth
er chance at him. He expresses a
: perfect willingness to talk to them
and promises to disclose this time
more than Morton and his followers
will care to hear.
Mr. Conkling, in submitting the
petition of the business men of New
York to the Senate yesterday, was
listened to eagerly by the Radical el
ement, but said nothing to indicate
his opinion of tho Presidential con
test, either way. Ilis silence yester-
I day was a bull-dozer to the extreme
: faction of his party, and is regarded
as quite a good omen by tho Demo
crats. Judging from the friendly
j feeling during the discussion of the
various propositions by the Senate
Electoral Committee, it. is evident
| that a basis of settlement will be
j reached which will determine the
Presidential contest in favor of Til
den, with Wheeler ns presiding officer
: of the Senate. Mr. Wright harangued
j the Senate upou the bill offered by
j him a few days ago, which contains
j some new-fangled idea about framing
' a court to try the present and all fn
| tare Presidential difficulties, and af
i ter talking them all to sleep the Sen-
I ate at 2 :lt) p. in. adjourned.
The House, after consuming the
morning hour in the passage of pri
vate I mis, -.vent into committee of the
whole on the State of the Union, and
j at the instigation of Mr. Hewitt, put
jon its Democratic cloak and worked
! with exceedingly good will for the
j benefit of the country, iu granting
i certain pensions to the widows of de
ceased soldiers of the several Mexi
: call, Florida and Black Hawk wars,
cutting down the fees of United States
Attorneys, at the same time giving
the extravagant diplomatic and con
sular appropriation bills a watchful
eye. “The boys” are on the look out
for Republican extravagance in these
; appropriation bills, whereby they'
manage by some hocus pocus arrange
ment in the Departments to prevent
the regular appropriations to cam
paign funds.
The South Carolina investigating
committee returned here lust night,
and whilst they admit that the face
of the returns show the State for
Hayes and Wheeler, their report to
the House will show up the most das
tardly Radical frauds in that State
that could have been perpetrated.
President Orton, ot the Western
Union Telegraph Company, will un
doubtedly lie brought to the bar of
the House for contempt. The Demo
crats are in no humor to he trilled
with, and will insist upon the right of
the House to compel him to produce
the documents called for by the com
m ttie of i ivestigalion at New Or
leans, “or go to jail.” The conclusion
of the House electoral committee to
keep their proceedings strictly secret !
until a conclusion is reached, quite,
discomfits the Republicans. They
are constantly on the qui cira to know
“what’s up?” and expect a bomb-shell
to be thrown in their camp, and j
doubtless will get accommodated.
This action of the committee causes
Zack Chandler to spurt an extra!
quantity of tobacco juice, intermixed ;
with a double dose of profanity at the
“ex-con federate House.”
The idea thrown out by Grant, that
possibly there had been no election,
and a now one should he ordered in
May next, has been the subject of |
of considerable comment here among
the Republicans. They begin to see j
that Tilden is as clearly entitled to !
the majority of the electoral vote as
he is to that of the popular vote, and
that ho will undoubtedly bo declared ;
elected, by the joint committees of
thejtvvo Houses, hence this new dodge
to defeat fas they hope) Tilden.
This city was thrown into an in- j
tense astonishment Ibis morning, by
Grant's peremptory demand made on
our Board of Police Commissioners,
who have all along given entire satis
faction to the community, for their
resignation. It is said that he was
exceedingly annoyed at the testimony
of Mr. (Bagger yesterday, who, when
testifying before the Board in rela-1
lion to the '‘Gambling investigation” |
vihijn was being {proceeded with by
tho Board of Police, testified,to the fact 1
lie had seen “President Grant gam- j
ble,” and ho (Grant) determined to
close the investigation by breaking j
m> the board, which is mere nonsense, j
He intends to appoint pliant tools of j
his own in their places, that ho may -
next March, use the GOO policemen of j
the city in conjunction with the
United States Troops now here (some
i 800) to either proclaim himself dicta
i tor, or to forcibly install Hayes in the
! White House. He can’t throw sand
.in Democratic eyes by such “jug
. glory.” If he attempts any such fool
idea us this he will find to his sorrow
that we have as many troops now in
this city as he has, and just as well j
equipod, not excepting artillery, j
Gentlemen, prominent in both polit
ical pariies here, are in daily receipt
of letters from all parts of the couu- |
try, giving full expression of their cor- j
respondents sentiments, and showing \
a vigorousj increase of the feeling “for ■
peace,” which sentiment seems to pre
vail in tho opposing political quarters
in this city, and should a disturbance
occur it will be the fault of the |
“would-be” dictator now occupying
the White House.
It seems to be the determination of j
| the Radicals to cover up the late |
“Treasury Robbery,” judging from the
! exceeding reticence of both the de- j
I tectives and United States officials.
The generally accredited theory in 1
: this city, is that the money was ab
stracted by parties connected with tho
; cash room, and to this end the Ex
press Company is pursuing its euqui
; ries.
The vacancy in tho commissioner
ship of the pateut office, up to the
: present time of writing has not been
! tilled. The incumbancy only lasting
I for the next two months, it is difficult
I for the administration to obtain any
I one with the required ability to ao
cept the position. The starving out
i process of Cliamberlahi's government.
1 m South Carolina by the Hampton
administration, causes Republicans
here to feel quite chagrined, and every
day they are importuning Grant to
[ declare marshal law throughout the
| State, but he seems to have his hands
fall to attend to National affairs. The
era of the downfall of the carpet bag
i gers in the South is certainly at baud.

A Shocking Kali road Disaster.
Cleveland, December 30. —The un
fortunate train is known as the Pa
cific Express, and consisted of six
coaches and two drawing room cars,
with the usual express and baggage
cars and two engines. Daniel
McGuire, engineer of the forward en
gine, relates that the train was run
ning at a slow rate, and just as they
had fairly crossed the high bridge,
w hich was not more than forty rods
distant from the depot, lie felt a vio
lent j ir, and in an instant the coup
ling between the two engines had
broken and the whole train was pre
cipitate 1 with the bridge into the riv
er below. McGuire says that his en
gine was pulled back nearly to the
edge of the broken span before the
coupling was severed, and it regain
ed its forward motion barely in time
to save itself. The bridge over Ash
tabula river was an iron truss bridge,
and had been in use about eleven
years. Tho span is about one hun
dred feet wide, and through the space
between flows the river, about four
or five feet deep, at this time thickly
covered with ico. luto this space
were the eleven cars and one engine
and tender precipitated, the fall of
sixty feet of course breaking through
the ice covering and shivering the
cars as if nitro-glyccrine had explod
ed beneath them. The seven pas
senger coaches altogether contained
about one hundred and sixty-five
adults, besides a number of children.
Within a few minutes after the
crash, tho Haines burst out from near
ly every car.
Ashtabula, Deo. 20. —There are
127 missing. The dead are disfigur
ed beyond recognition. All the cars
were burned t.o cinders.
Joy in One Household.
Ten years ago in Manchester, Eng
land, there lived Mr. Ephraim Mar
shall, his wife, and several bright
children. The eldest, Martha, proved
to be the wayward one of the flock,
and ended her folly by eloping with
Henry Jenkins, a young engineer.
They were married and setting sail
for America all tidings of them were
lost. Mr. ami Mrs. Marshall afterward
journeyed to New York, and he was
employed by tne New Jersey Central
Railroad Company. He lives in a
neat little cottage iu Bayonne. It is
Marshall’s duty to care for the station
at Oentrevillo. While on his rounds
in the blinding snow storm of New
Year’s night he stumbled across a
bundle on the threshold of his door.
It contained a sleeping infant wrap-
J ped in blankets. On its clothing was
a card saying that the child's name
was Jenkins. The couple were sure
that it was the child of the wayward
daughter, and requested the police to
keep watch for her.
On Thursday, Chief Whitney track
ed a strange woman to a wretched
j room in Avenue D. and she ucknowl
! edged that she was the daughter of
Mr. Marshall. She was without food or
fuel. She told the Chief that after
\ she ran away with Jenkins he was
employed in a New York dry goods
house. He became dissolute, and sank
into poverty and disgrace. Her life
[ was one of trial and suffering. Four
children had been born to them, and
all had died except the little waif.
Two weeks ago she heard where iier
parents were, and she determined to
send the child to them, and throw
herself into the river. She went from
Buvouue with the intention of com
mitting suicide, hut her resolutions
failed ner. That night she was re
stored to her father and mother, who
wept over her return.
Gov. Draw's Innngura! Address
Fellow-Citizens: Having taken the
oath of office as prescribed by the
Constitution, I am about to enter
upon tho grave and responsible du
ties appertaining to the position of
Chief Magistrate of the Stato of
Florida.
The will of the people, as legally
expressed at the ballot-box, lias been
enforced by tho mandate of our high
est judicial tribunal, and it must boa
source of supremo gratification for
every citizen to feel that, whatever
results may flow from tho excitements
of political contest, he has the broad
shield and protecting arm of an im
partial judiciary as the final arbiter
of his rights. And the quiet and en
tire submission of citizens of all par
ties to the decision of the Supreme
Court is the surest guarantee that we
are a law-abiding people resolved to
perpetuate free institutions, and to
transmit to our posterity the blessings
of constitutional government.
As tho contest is over, let us hope)
that the animosities engendered there
by have died uw.y, and that as your
chosen Executive, 1 may be able to
rise to the true and broad statesman
ship of occupying tho position of the
Governor of the State of Florida, and
not the head of a political party.
Our immense territorial dimensions
demand a population commensurate
with its Let us demon
strate bv wise Pleasures that our
feelings and in: rests continue to
generously invite an immigration that
will promote this most desirable re-
sult. Reflecting upon the past only j
as a guide for tho future, let us en
deavor to bring about an era of good
feeling between all classes, and build
up the prosperity of Florida by the!
combined efforts of her entire popu
lation. A large portion of that pop-j
niatioo, recently enfranchised, have
been taught to feel solicitous of the
continuance of their newly acquired
rights, if the party of which I have
been ttie honored candidate came
iuto possession of our State govern
ment. Their fears are groundless,
i and our colored fellow-eitizens may
finally rest assurfd that their rights,
as guaranteed by the Constitution,
will be fully sustained. It. is both
| our wish and our interest to protect
I them in all their rights, and to bring
about the kindest feelings between
| the races. As ihe Executive of this
J .State, I shall exhaust every legal and
. constitutional remedy for the prutec-
I lion of the rights, the life and tho
liberty of every citizen—feeling that
such a course is my highest duty and
! most conducive to the prosperity of
j the State.
A Northern man by birth and a
j Union man from principle, I reeog
: nize that the Democracy of Florida,
i m placing me iu this position, demon
strate their desire for a true and fra
ternal union of all sections of our
; common country, That such a union
may be firmly established, and ever
remain ueaceful, prosperous and
happy, is the hope of every patriot.
A' a period in bur country’s history
wiii'u the theory of Republican gov
ernment is undergoing a severe test,
it is the duty of every law-abiding
citizen to nso .-iruesf efforts for
the promotion of harmony and the
security of those institutions. I hope
anti believe that the political contest
now waging in the Federal arena will
be peacefully settled, and that the
chosen constitutional agents of the
people will be quietly inaugurated
wi f h the full sanction of the honest
masses of all parties.
When I received and considered the
reports of the. various heads oil Depart
ments I shall, in accordance with duty
and usage, transmit them to the Leg
islature with suggestions as I may
deem appropriate. Then I can more
appropriately refer to details affecting
the political and material interests of
the State.
Returning ray heartfelt thanks to
the people of the State of Florida for
their confidence and support in ele
vating me to this-, position, and hoping
that I may be able to meet all their
just expectations, I ask their kind in
dulgence upon my administration of
public affairs, ami in my earnest ef
forts for their welfare and prosperity
I invoke the assistance of an over-rul
ing Providence.
Asotiies Joke. —Tile attack of Mr.
May upon Air. Bennett tarns out, af
ter all. to have been merely a joke.
Mr. May had no idea that Mr. B ai
nett would be such an ass as to take
it seriou.-Jy. This discovery was
made, as we understand, by the as
tute Noah Davis. He left the bench
and kept the impatient bar waiting
only one boar white lie ciphered out
this interesting solution. He is said
to have been very much amused with
the discovery, and To have thought of
applying for a patient. But there is
doubt, whether the invention is entire
ly original. A man named Stokes is
believed to have been before him with
the idea of a practical joke on another
man named Fisk. If Davis is the real
inventor, he ought, not to be deprived
of the credit of it. Whatever indue
him be ought to have.— N. Y. Sun.
An old man walked through Vir
ginia City, on his way to“some place
where folks wouldn’t crowd.” He said
that fifty years ago he went to live on
the Missouri river, in the woods where
game was abundant, and the solitude
suited him. Civilization in its west
ward progress drove him out finally,
and he migrated to Oregon where he
supposed that he would never he
bothered in that way. To his surprise,
a few years ago ho noticed that civili
zation was crowding him again—this
time advancing from the pacific. Now
he is on his way to the Rocky Moun
tains.
