John Screven, of Savannah That gentleman’s high charaoter can never he reached by such puny missiles. —The Congreis of the United States net in Washington on Monday last The Republicans have but a bare ma jority, and consequently the Democrats ean prevent any high-banded legisa tion. —A negro was brutally murdered in Terrell county recently by three white leads incarnate. Our Judges have their hands full of murder cases, but our juries seldom ever allow them to pass sentence upon the criminals —Col. Marcellus Thornton has bought the Atlanta Post-Appeal. We presnmo that it will run in the interest of the Georgia Republicans. Col Thornton is a clever man, and wo hate to see him squander his means on a daily of the republican ilk in this State. KEIFER WINS IN THE RACE FOR THE SPEAKERSHIP- —A large party of Saxon immigrants passed through St. Louis last week on their way to Arkansas. They formed the third installment of a colony of 5.000 or 6.000 that is being planted in the vicinity of Little Rock by a coloni- cation society in the old country. —Miss Annio Louisa Cary is men tioned as the possessor of §450,000— all earned by her own voice. Among her treasures is one of ilie most per fect emeralds in the world. It weighs 23 carats, and is valued at §50,000. It waa bought at the sale of Queen Isa bella’s jewels in Paris. —We are delighted to bo able to state to our readers this week, that after a thorough investigation of the case against the Jones Bros., charged with burning the town of Camilla, by the Grand Jury recently in session at that place, no bill was found and the defend ants were fully exonerated. —The devotion of the Republicans for the negro has been again manifest ed. Rainey, the colored Republican of South Carolina, ran in the Republican caucus Saturday for tbe nomination as Clerk of tbe House against McPherson (white). Result of first ballot; Mc Pherson 92, Rainey 44, rest scattering.” Rainey retires disgusted. —Hon. Alex. H. Stephens is report ed very Jill in Washington. lie will doubtless recover, for the reason that Death has been sporting with him for the last seventy years. Our opinion is that Mr. Stephens will live to be 110 years old, and then blow away. lie is the most remarkable man physically the 19th century has produced, —Coming on the improbable rumor that Mr. Davis is to be succeeded in the Presidency pro tern, of the Senate by a conservative Republican,” the New York World asks, very pertinent- ly, “What is a conservative Republi can 7” and adds: “In modern times the only Republican Senator that ever hesitated when there was a difficulty between his conscience and the caucuses was General Burnside, and he is dead.” —Evidently some of our contempor aries are not acquainted with the follow ing remarks of the late Horace Greely ; “There is nothing easier than to edit a blackguard papor and nothing more difficult than to get up a newspaper free from foulness and blackguardism. Fish- women and barroom loafers are skilled in the art of bandying epithets and be spattering each other with dirty words. It requires no brains to do this, but it does require both heart and brains to print a paper that a decent man or woman ean read without a blush.” —During the trip of a Potuguese vessel from Rio Janeiro to New York this month she encountered a fierce storm. The tips of the yards almost -touched the waves. About 7 o’clock on the morning of the 11th, a tremen. dous sea struck her amidsbip from the westward side. It swept the deck of every loose object and carried three men from the rigging, in which they were clinging. The men were borne some twenty feet from the vessel, but miraculously enough, the next mass of water moved from the leeward and land ed all three on deck, safe and sound. Rainey Shelved—McPherson Back at The Clerk s Crih—The Old .Officers Renominated by the Democrats— Hedging on the Tariff Washington, December 3.—Seventeen out of eighteen members of the {Pennsylvania delegation held a conferonce this morning, at which, after some discussion, all the mem bers present agreed to vote for Genera Keifer as Speaker. Tbe absentee was Mr. Baynes, who sent word that he will vote for Mr. Hiscock. It was also determined by the seventeen members to support Wm. Bunn, ex-Register Willis of Philadelphia, fqr election as “ergeant-at-Arms. Five of the members announced themselves in favor of Edward McPherson for the position of Clerk of the IIouso, but it was finally de cided that the delegation which met make an effort to elect any Pennsylvania man to that office, but favor its being given to some New Yorker, probably Mr. Johnson.- The result of the Pennsylvania conference is gen erally regarded as highly favoraDle to the prospects of Keifer’s success, but the other prominent candidates still profess undimin ished confidence. It was announced that Mr: Klein’s name had been withdrawn from the list of candidates for the office of Clerk. THE REPUBLICAN caucus. The Republican members elect assembled at noon lo.day in the hall of the House of Representatives for the purpose of nomi nating candidates to fill the various elective offices. Jay Hubbcll, of Michigan, called tbe caucus to order shoitiy after 12 o’clock Robeson, of New Jersey, was then selected as chairman of the caucus, Mills, of Penn sylvania, as Secretary, and McCook, of New York, Updegraff, of Iowa, and McClure, of Ohio, as Assistant Secretaries and Tellers. A roll call was responded to by 147 repre sentatives elect, including J. Hyatt Smith, of New York, and Mr. John D. White, of Kentucky. The one hundred and fifty- sixth regular Republican was absent. Nom inations for the Speakership were declared to be in order and candidates were placed in nomination as follows: Frank Hiscock, of New York, by Representative- Gamp, of New York; James W. Keifer, of Ohio, by Representative Ilazelton, of Wisconsin; Jno. A- Kasson, of Iowa, by Cannon, of Illinois; Mark II. Dunnell, of Minnesota, by Strait, of Minnesota; Godlovc S. Orth, by Calkins; J. C. Burrows, of Michigan, by Horr, of Michigan, and Thomas B. Reed, of Maine, by Lindsey, of Maine. A motion was made and advocated briefly by Bayne, of Penn sylvania, that the voting be viva voce, but, this was voted down, and the balloting was then proceeded with, resulting as follows: Keifer 52, Hiscock 44, Kasson 15, Reed 13, Burrows 10, Orth 8, Dunnell 4; total 14G; necessary to a choice 74. Second ballot—Keifer 55, Hiscock 41, Kasson 16, Reed 12, Burrows 10, Orth 8, Dunnell 3; total 145. The ballotting continued without result until the lfith ballot, when Kiefer received 03 votes and the caucus nomination. He gained 16 from Hiscock, 10 from Burrowa, and 6 from Kasson. McPherson was nominated for Clerk on the first ballot by a vote of 92. against 44 for Rainey, and the rest scattering. Col. Geo. W. Hooker, of Vermont, late Assistant Secretary of the National Itepub., lican Committee, was nominated for Ser- geant-ut-Arms en the first ballot, receiving eighty votes. The first ballot for Doorkeeper resulted n tbe choice of Walter P. Brownlow, of Tennesce, nephew of Parson Brownlow. Captain Harry Sherwood, of Michigan, was nominated for Postmaster by acclama tion, and Rev. Frederick D. Power, pastor of tbe Campbellite Church, Washington, was selected as Chaplain of the House. Resolutions were adopted that the six maimed Union soldiers now employed in the House be retained, unless dismissed for cause. Three of these are Democrats and three Republicans. THE DEMOCRATIC rROORAMHE. Washington, December 4.—After the adjournment of the Republican caucus last evening, the Democratic members elect as sembled in the same hall and organized their caucus for the ensuing Congress, by the re-election of Representative House, of Tennesee, as Chairman, and Messrs. Frost, of Missouri, and Welborn, of Texas, as Sec retaries. Representative Proctor Knott, of Kentucky, then offered a resolution en dorsing the declaration of the Democratic National Convention of 1876 and 1880, his supposed objeet being to put the Demo cratic members on record in favor ef the plank indorsing a tariff for revenue only, which, if it prevented the complimentary nomination of Speaker Randall, would serve as a rebuke. The resolution was supported by Representatives Knott, of Kentucky, and Reagan, of Texas, and opposed by Repre sentatives Hammond, of Georgia, McLaine, of Maryland, Hooker, of Mississippi, and Herbert, of Alabama. Representative Hooker moved to indefinitely postpono the consideration of the resolution, and his motion was carried—ayes 63, nays 42. Represen.stive McKenna, of West Vir ginia, then moved that the caucus indorse and put in nomination as the '■audidates of the Democrats all the officers of the last House, and the motiou was carried viva voce without dissent. The caucus then adjourned subject to the call of tho chairman. -The impression prevails to night that tbe organization of the House will be considerably delayed to morrow by objections to the swearing in of the hold ers of credentials from several Southern districts and by a threatened contest in regard to the admission of Delegate Cannon, of Utah. It is impossible to predict safely how long such delays may continue, but many well informed persons are of the opinion that the House will be read}’ to proceed to the election oi officers early in the afternoon, in which event it is expected that the Republican nominees will probable receive the requisite majority' vote, and the president’s message will sent in before to morrow’s adiourn meat Rainey’s Rajection. The value of Radical professions for the colored mau and brother was con clusively settled in the caucus on Sat urday when McPherson, a veritable party hack, was given the Clerkship of the House over Rainey, the colored ex- Congressman from South Carolina. Two years ago, when there was no pos sibility of Rainey’s election, he was given the barren honcr of the Radical nomination for tbe same position, and the organs vied with each other in the praise of the performance. On Satur day, when a nomination was equivalent to election, Rainey was coolly slaught ered. True, a fair proportion of votes were cast for him and he was let down gent ly, but it would have been far more hon est to have told him emphatically that the party had no use for him, which was the secret of the matter. The par ty has put itself squarely on the record in rejocting a man who two years ago was its unanimous choice for the high station of clerk of the lower house of Congress. His ability was conceded, and if he deserved the place when he could not get it, he certainly merited it when the party could have raised him to it. He is the same Rainey now as then, and the party is the same but on Saturday it was supplied with a fulj hand and played it, while two years ago it was short and played the Rainey trick for all it was worth. We are sorry for Rainey, but he should have been wiser. To his peo- plo bis cruel rejection is a valuable lesson. For, if a representative colored man, abundantly qualified for the posi tion he seeks, and backed by a previous flattering endorsement, is to bo set aside that a veteran at the crib may be pro vided for, it is time for the colored voters to weigh the cost of a devotion that is used for selfish ends in the haz ards of political warfare, but ignored in the bestowal of the rewards of its vict ories.—Savannah Sews. Whv Gen- Sherman was not Ban- quetted in Atlanta- It is a remarkable fact that while the male natives have ceased to bear anL mously toward the grim old warrior who left a black souvenir in Georgia “forty miles wide and three hundred long,” the women, on the contrary, will never forget that Sherman burned the!" homes, and they uniformly refuse to regard him as anything else than an in vader and a despoiler. Speaking to some southern ladies about Sherman, a few days ago, they said they never for gave him, and Would not permit him to be feted here if they could prevent it. “Why,’’ said one, “when he came south before, and was feasted here, there were women at the banquet table who wished every driuk he took could be transformed into poison ; and others while lending their presence as a mat er of necessity, hid beneath the guise of politeness a hatred which boded no good for the destroyer of their homes.” I have found that this sentiment still exists here very largely among the women of Georgia, and if report be correct, it was a potenial agency in in fluencing a changing of programme on Tuesday. A committee of citizens proposed to honor the general of the army with a banquet, but current ru mor has it that the members of the committee were informed that it would bo distasteful to some, and that a num ber of ladies visited a merchant who was on tbe committee, and warned him not to give the banquet or they would withdraw their patronage. I give this as I get it, and one corroborative fact is present in the absence of the banquet. — Cincinnatti Commercial. God bless cur noble women. Our men may bow the knee to Baal, and kiss the hand that smites for a mess of official pottage, but our women will train their children like old Hamilcar did his scds Hannibal and Hasdrubal, to forever hate the blood bounds and in cendiaries who destroyed their homes during the war, and tried to degrade the manhood of our soldiers when the struggle was over. The brave and honorable opponent our women would help to crown with the laurel, but they Lave nothing bat scorn for the Attillas and the Alvas. Republican Senators must view with keen interest the Senatorial contest in Virginia, Should the successful can didate be as hard in driving bargains as Mabone, Republican seekers of State office will henceforth stand no chance. ! Mahcne alone claimed about one-half of the patronage. With a colleague he will take the rest. It would be a funny spectacle to sea thirty odd Senators led around by two; but the Republican Senators will be in a minority if they don’t submit, and what are they going to do about it ?—New York Sun. Guiteau has some smart points in Lis published defense. He narrowly escaped being a notable man for composition and oratory. Here is a gem from ills collec tion that ought to be preserved for refer ence: "I appeal to the president of the United States for justice. Iam the man that made him president. Without my inspiration he was a political cipher, without power or importance." fimall-Pox In tlie .’nails Washington, November 28.—la con sequence of alarm caused in some por tioos of the country by the reported spreading of small pox. Acting Postmas ter General Hatton lias to-day issued the following order: Where the health officers of a village, town or city, by official action declare that mail matter from any other village, town or city is liable to communicate a contagious "disease’ which at the time is prevailing in the place whose maii it is thus sought to quarantine, and such health officers shall furnish to the post master a certified copy of sueh declara tion, it shall be the duty of said postmas ter to refuse to accept said mail matter from any carrier or maii messenger, and he shall furnish such carrier or messenger with a copv of said declaration to be delivered by him to the office thus quar antined. with the mail matter so refused, and the facts shall at once be reported to the first assistant postmaster general. In the absence of board of health officers the declaration of a regular county or city medical society may be accepted, and failing such organization, the opinions of such physicians as the postmaster may regard as most reliable may be acted upon. Tho mail returned shall be held until the prohibition is removed, and shall, after being properly fumigated under direction of the medical authorities, be forwarded to the place of it3 original destination. There is little hope for a republican form of government in Rhode Island, but the oligarchy which rules that State is making a little progress in the right direction. It is actually considering the proposition to allow honorably dis charged Union soldiers to vote at elec tions. oven if they do not own real estate. The time may yet come when a well-behaved and intelligent foreign- born citizen of Rhode Island will have the rights and privileges enjoyed by a rascally and ignorant native-born one. — Savannah News.

That is one way of looking at it. The supreme court of Tenuessee has decided that the law of that state provid ing for the assessment of railroad property unconstitutional. This decision will em power every city in the state to assess railroad property as private property, and to collect back taxes since 1875 at such an assessment. S TARTLING DISCOVERY!

I have used many other kinds of medicine without any effect. I had juet about given her up, was out cf heart, but happened in the store of W, W. Eckler several weeks since, and he knows of my daughter’s affliction pursuaded me to try a bottle of your Female Regulator. She began to improve at once. I was so de lighted with its effect that I bought several more bottles. * The price, §1,50 a bottle, seemed to be very high at first, but I now think it the cheapest preparation on the globe and knowing what I do about it, if to-day one of my family was suffering with that awful disease I weuld have it if it cost $50 a bottle, for I can truthfully say it has cured my daughter sound and well, and myself and wife do most heartily recommend your Fe male Regulator to be just what it is recom mended to be.
