THE PP.E3IDBNT AliD’PAETY RE¬ JOICING OVER THE DEMOCRATIC VICTORIES. Social events in the National Capital for tlis coming winter. Washington, Nov. 11, 1885. Everything points to an unusally brilliant and interesting winter in Washington, The new congress is already gathering in the city, and early next month it will be called to order and organized. An unusual number of visitors are coming to the city. Besides those connected with governmental affairs, many will be drawn here by a desire to enjoy Washington official society under democratic auspices and leadership. In the coming congress there will be 184 democrats and 141 repubii cans. But forty three is a good working majority. has signified his As Mr. Randall determination not to enter the contest for speaker of the house, there is lit tie doubt that Mr. Carlisle will be re elected without contest in eausus. In this case the launching ot the Forty ninth congress will be without a ripple, A ft er w arils, b o w ever, smooth sailing is not to be expected. Not only will the house continue be antagonized by a republican Sen ate, and the free course of legisla¬ tion correspondingly impeded; but new antagonism will be presented. A democratic president will be posed by a republican senate in cer¬ tain important nominations. Mr. Cleveland expiesses gratification at the result of the ginia and New York elections, does everyone prominently with the administration, lie prets the result in New York as deliberate indorsement by the ple of bis reform and it is impossible to dwarf its nificance. While rejoicing over the more im¬ portant political results, and larg er issues that hang upon the Virginia elections, there is no single event of the moment that sinks into the dem¬ ocratic heart with such sweet linger¬ ing ecstasy as the final obliteration of Senator William Mahone. Demo¬ cratic gains elsewhere may be fraught- with deeper significance, and may throw a brighter light, upon the future of reform. But the human heart is human, and it will dwell with obstinate delight upon the po¬ litical death of the “little boss.” It is already evident that there will be more social entertainment in Washington this winter than ueusal. The demand from wealthy strangers for houses is very large. Nearly ail of the better class of houses in the fashionable quarters of the city have hcen .taKen. Many old mimoeiatie tannhes who have done but little so cial'y for years post, have prepared to emerge from their retirement, and help to make the winter one to be re mein brreil. At least two members of the cabi net will entertain extensively; See retary Whitney who has had a com modious bail room arranged in his residence, and Secretary Manning, who has taken a house constructed suitably for hospitable will purposes. doubless The other members keep pace with the usual record cabinet officers. The diplomatic corps is always an important adjunct to the social sea son. They have ample leisure and the amenities of polite society life is tiieir chief occupation. Some of the largest banquets which take place in the city are given by the Foreign Legations. Already they have com mcxiced th'-ir round of entertain «»■'». two dinners during the wee«, one to the cabinet, and another to the dip iomatic corps, in commemoration t!ie anniversary of the Mikado’s birthday. The army and navy are also highly important factors in a Washingio season, and some o*. most elaborate entertainments ‘ , them ‘ ' » - wiii . be done 7 ^ocinllv somaiiy n.t at 4 v hat f 0Iie White House this wnnei is known.

AN IETEEESTING LETTER Conyers, Ga., Nov. 10th 1885. Messrs. Editors:—A bout thirty nine or forty years ago, I came across the following description of the most wonderful person that ever lived on this earth; namely, the wonderful Son of God; the Lord Je¬ sus Christ. Whether it was in man¬ uscript form or in print, I do not now recollect, But 1 know this, that I never have seen its match; neither have ever seen it in any form since, in manuscript or print. The following is an exact copy of the original, which, if you wish, von can publish. Jessie M. Wellborn. description of jesus cniilST. ‘Tt being the custom of the Ro man governors to advertise the Sen ate. and the people of such material circumstances as happened in their respective provinces, Publius Leni tutus being President in the days of Tiberius Caesar, the Emperor, wrote the following epistle to the Senate, concerning Christ: “Conscript-Fathers: There ap peared in these our day, a man of singular virtue, named Jesus Christ, who is yet living among us, and of the Gentiles is accepted as a prophet call Truth; but his own disciples him the Son of God. •‘He raiseth the dead, and cureth lull and comely with a very reverend countenance, such as the beholder may both love and fear; his hair of the color of a filbert Hilly ripe, plain to his ears, whence downward it is more oviont of colors; somewhat curling and wavin'* about bis shoultiers. In the middle of his head is a seam or partition of ins hair, after the manner of the Naza rites; his forehead plain and deli cate;’his face without spot comely or wrin- red; kle, and beautiful with a bis nose and mouth exactly formed; ids beard thick, and the color of hnir; not of any great length, forked; his look innocent; his gray, clear, and quick; in terrible; in admonishing, in speaking, very modest, and, wise; in proportion of body, well shaped, None have seen him laugh, but many his have seen him weep. A man ot singular description surpasses the children of men.” Ladies are said to be apt scholars in learning to play on the violin. This perhaps conies from the grace and ease with which they handle the beaux.

DE. HAYGOOD AND DE, FELTON. The editor of the Elherton Head Light has had an interview with Dr. i Haygood, one of the ablest and host known ministers and writers in the Methodist church, South. In reply to the question, “what do you think of Dr. Felton’s speech on the railroad commission bill?” Dr. II ay good ! said: “I have had faith in Dr. Felton’s sincerity, but I do think his speech before the legislature was the most demagogical I ever read. It was in cendiary, it was uncalled for, it was impolitic and utterly unchristian, not to speak of its untruth. Keith er a patriot nor a Christian would have made that speech. The picture that he drew of the poor man in his hut and railroad king in his palace, ! was purely the effort of the deina- i gogue to array, without cause or foundation, capital against labor, for selfish purposes and political ends. lie Felton wanted to be governor, and is unscrupulous in his efforts to get there. I-Iis opposition to the bill, and his speech against it, was sim ply an effort to gain what you may term the communistic voteofGcor gia. Felton would like to gain the nomination, but, failing in this, be will run as an Independent.” JlovabmUn* prohibitmn follow “»-i OH 1,0 will never get my vote. I would vote for no prohibition opposed candidate proiabi for governor. I am to tion being carried into politics. I believe in it only by local option. It is in harmony with the old Eng Ush idea of the people of acommuni ty settling questions for them | tbelvos.” j “Are you in favor of the modifi cation of our Railroad and Commis sion law?” “J am, undoubtedly. I would not vote for George Washington, John Quincy Adams and Thomas Jeli'er son to have exclusive control of the railroad property of Georgia. modification of the commission would be best for the railroads and the people. The beat thing for the one is the best for the other. They are inseparably connected, and there is no need ot any fight between the two.—Gainesville Dr. Haygoods power of is known and acknowledged by those who are familiar with writings and utterances. He broad in his views upon ail and has not an enemy who charge that lie lacks 0 , courage. thcAnnny brief, In : , m j p 0We ,.f, t i presentations of f , uestions, which helms made, j iave no t seen one, which for clear n088> conciseness and force exceeded bis arraignment of Dr, Felton and his statement ot Ins position up,on 'be prohibition and railroad ques (ions, as presented above. Like Dr. Haygood, we had faith n J)j. Felton, but agree with former entirely with u Terence to tiie character of the latter's railroad speech before the house. Impelled by a sense of duty at the time, we took occasion to criticise it in a spirit of frankness and justice, We regret that one so capa! le as Dl , Felton, of great service to the state, by reason of Ins great ability, should have alarmed conservative ant j practical public judgment, touching the correctness of his prin Ci plc;s and his safety as a public man. We thank Dr. Haygood for the inai ner , n whic h he iias expressed him8e if witb re furence to the points to which we have alluded, and com m fnd his example to other men who j n position in church and state, to stay tlie tide ot fanaticism all< ^ j communism which seriously thieat en8 our pe aee and prosperity.—Ma Cf>n Tt ,]egrnph.

On Friday afternoon, (30 nit.) the triends of Mrs. Id.

For many long months she had been a prey to that dreadful destroy - er of the human, family, consump tion, but without murmuring or re¬ pining, she patiently labored for the good of those she loved, scarcely thinking of her own suffering—only hoping and praying that she might yet be spared to raise her children; but when she saw that she must go, she said she was ready.
