A special from Washington to the
Cincinnati Commercial says that Mr.
Tildeo is strongly convinced that be
is elected, and is determined to be
inaugurated. That’s the talk.

An u>l ray occurred on Christmas
day, in Chattaaoo'J'a, Xeun.. between
George Pease and Chris. Smith, in
which pistols were used, and both
were mortally wounded.
The Cincinnati Times— which is a
bitter Radical paper. Ailed with
falsehoods about Southern violence
and barbarism is offering arerotecr,

who add $4 to the price of subscrip

Mr. Ferry might have made that receipt a
little safer if it were dated at the “so
called" chamber of the Vice-President
and signed by Mr. Ferry us the "alleged”
President of the body claiming to be the
Senate of the States purporting to be
United.
Humous were current in New Or
leans, on Monday, of a coalition be
tween Wanuouth, Pinchback and
the Democrats, by which the Demo
cratic Legislature is to elect them to
the United States Senate, and they
are in return therefor to assist the
Democrats in Installing Nichollsas
Governor. Prominent ltepublicans
deny it irositlvely, and say that it
would bo impossible for either party
to carry out the contract.
Col. John 8, Mosbv is reported as
haviug said, the other day, that if
any difficulty grows out of the Presi
dential contest, he will raise a regi
inent in Virginia in twenty-four
hours to help Grant and the admin
istration. He Bays this without know
ing or caring whether Grant will
fight for himself or for Huyes, or how
he will begin the fight. He simply
knows that he is Graut’s man uuder
all circumstances. But he would find
himself mistaken about raising a
regiment of Virginians.
Aocobding to the World telegrams
received from New Orleans the Mor
rison committee have in their pos
session certain important telegrams
sent by Zach Chandler to the Repub
licans, which renders it quite impor
tant that the remaining dispatches
should be obtained from the tele
graph company to show the full ex
tent of the conspiracy to client the
Democrats out of the result of the
election ia Louisiana. The mana
gers of the telegraph company refuse
to give up the messages.
Wis leuru from the Shreveport
I’izrtfW of Friday that the House in
vestigating sub-committee was then
in that city taking testimony. The
Times publishes brief reports of the
testimony of seven witnesses on
Thursduy—three whites and four
colored. They all testilled that the
election in Caddo and DeSoto was
fair amJjJjpe, except, as one witness
said, negroes desiring to vote the
Democratic ticket were told by Rad
ical leaders that if the Democrats
were successful they would be put
back into slavery; and, in some
instances, violence was threatened
them.
Louisiana.— Tho latest reports
show that aup ther crisis in Louisiana
politics is at hand. The Legislature
meets on the first Monday in Janu
ary, and the Radicals have already
barricaded all but the two main en
trances to the State-house, and keep
a guard of Kellogg’s pollco around
these. The Democrats will organize
their Legislature—the Legislature as
elected by the people—and inaugu
rate Gen. Nlcholls ns Governor.
They will probably pursue precisely
the same course which the Demo
crats have lately pursued in South
Carolina, und which was adopted by
the Democrats of Louisiana four years
ago. Tlwsre may be no violent col
lisions. We think it the policy of
the Democrats to avoid them,
and the Radicals certainly will avoid
them unless they have assurances of
support and protection from Grant.
But the probability is that two
United State® Senators will be elect
ed by each body, and that the Senate
of the United States will have before
it a repetition of the Pinehback case.
A dispatch of the American Press
Association, dated Tuesday, says
that the Democrats propose to ap
point a duplicate Supreme Court,
und Gen. Nicholls has tendered the
Chief Justiceship to ex-Associute
Judge John A. Campbell, who has
signified his acceptance. This will
add materially to the complications,
since, under the Constitution, the
Supremo Court is appointed for eight
years. and the term of the present
Supreme Court has expired. Pack
ard intends to appoint James R.
Beckwith, now U. S. District At
torney, as Chief Justice, vice Lude
ling, the present incumbent, and
Judge King will succeed J ustieo
Wylie.
The Democratic party was big enough
to elect a President and Vice-President.
Can it inaugurate them. That’s the
question .—lndianapolis Sentinel.

not throw their money away on Christ
mas presents. They will keep it for bill

THE IIOI’HK OF KKPHF.NKNTATIVKS.
We have seen that the Democrats
have a small but certain majority of
Representatives elect to the next
Congress. But there are apprehen-
sions at Washington (we hope they
ore groundless) that a desperate and
revolutionary effort, will be made, iu
the event of Hayes’ inauguration, to
•‘reconstruct” the House so as to give
the Radicals a majority. Tho Wash
ington correspondent of the New
York Sun details the plot, which, ho
says, was revealed to him by a Re
publican who does not approve it.
The Senate, It will be borne
in mind, has Instructed Its Inves
tigating committees to examine
Into the elections iu soveral Southern
Staten about whose Presidential vote
there Is no question or dispute—such
as Mississippi, Alabama and North
Carolina. Why is this? The sup
position is that It Is to report that
tho Democrats carried several Con
gressional Districts in those .States
by intimidation or fraud. This la a
matter with which tho Senate has
properly nothing to do, as tho con
stitution tnukes each house the sole
Judge of tho elections, returns and
qualifications of its own members.
But the fact that the Bcnato has
undertaken to have soruothing to do
with it, by the investigation above
mentioned, is suspicious and sugges
tive. The Sun’s correspondent
says that the Senate’s committees
will, contrary to all propriety,
warrant or precedent, report that a
number of Democratic Representa
tives, authentically returned as elect
ed, were not fairly or peacefully
elected, and that the President and
the Senate will refuse to recognizee
House that admits them! The next
step will be for the Radical Repre
sentatives to form a House of their
own, getting a quorum by admitting
the contestants or the Democrats re
ported to the Senate as illegally
elected, and this House will bo recog
nized by the Senate and President.
This is a very reckless and during
scheme, as its more statement shows.
But there are other considerations
besides those mentioned above, which
might prompt a desperate party, ac
quiring power by fraud and force, to
carry it out. A Democratic House,
cheated out of the Presidency by the
means used in behalf or Hayes, would
be in no humor to work harmonious
ly and agreeably with tho new ad
ministration. It would doubtless
vote what money was needed for the
strictly economical administration of
the Government, but this would not
be satisfactory to the hungry
crowd of useless office-holders
who are now living upon the people,
nor would it suit tho thousands
more who make fortunes by
corrupt contracts and fat jobbing. A
Democratic House, too, might make
exposures which tho Radicals would
prevent at any cost. Their triumph
or security would not be complete
with a Radical President only. It is
thus apparent that the object is not
lacking for such a revolutionary plot
as that above delineated. Tho ques
tion is, is tho Radical party unscru
pulous and daring enough to carry it
out ? Its past course in the ‘‘recon
struction” of Southern State Legis
latures, as well as its present position
on the Presidential question, certain
ly do not givo the country any assur
ance that it will hesitate to perpe
trate this new outrage.
But tho installation of Tiiden as
President will defeat the scheme, if
it is really entertained, and this is
the main hopo of the country. A
resolute stand by the Northern and
Western Democrats for the inaugu
ration of the President elected by the
people will not only make Tlldcn
President, but it will close tho door
to any contemplated iniquities and
usurpations to which Radicalism
may resort in the event of the inau
guration to Hayes, to complete its
triumph.

Female UiMrlaa In tVauhlnsisn.
Washington Cor. Dnyton Journsl.)
The queen of the feminine branch of
the lobbyists is a lady who was born in
Alexandria, but has lived in Washington
for a nuittbor of years. She is ft widow,
is rich, stylish, and extremely,fascinating.
She has had some hundreds of otters of
marriage: but with marriage her power
would be gone (to a considerable extent
nt least,) so she prefers to remain single.
She drives a stylish but a quiet turnout,
frequents the President's receptions oc
casionally, and drinks a pint bottle of
clianpaign at her breakfast regularly
every morning.
Three other ladies, almost equally at
tractive, monopolize with her “heavy”
business in that line, and one of them is
the wife of a naval officer. None of
them arc "loud” and they all belong to
the elite and move in the vory best so
ciety. Mrs. 8., of New Orleans, who was
conspiclous here three or four years ago,
when she was instrumental in securing a
famous contract from the Treasury De
partment, has left us for “other fields and
pastures new," and now, I believe, resides
ill New York. Senators and members
used to •At at her bouse on F street,
close to Willard’s Hotel, and had a grand
old time." She was a handsome woman
of the Spanish type, with sparkling black
eyes and extremely passionate and fond
of fun, who made plenty of money and
spent it recklessly. There were a few,
however, who hold the open sesame to
her parlors on snch occasion, for it is
natural that Senators, overflowing with
dignity in the Senate Chamber,' would
not like to be caught overflowing with
champagne in the boudoir of an attractive
woman !
Mrs. K , also a Texas lady, con
spicuous for her beauty and dashing style,
was famous in those days, bnt is now
rather fading into obscurity. She was
here last season, but did not accomplish
much. I could mention, by name, a
doaen or two more who have made, and
are malting, money in large sums by
“operating” in this way; lint want of
space forbids further details at present.
Perhaps in a future letter I may draw
the curtain a little further aside still, and
show some of the features of “lobbying”
which I have omitted to-day, illustrating
them with examples of the work accom
plished. For the present I must dismiss
the subject, with a last thought of Mrs.
II ’b wonderful parrot and her little friend
“Dot” of those wicked but happy days!

MURFREESBORO’, TENN.
The t.'rrat lint Hr Foment There.
MURFREESBOIIo’, Tenn., (
Deo. 23,1878. i
Editor oj Columbus Times; It was
in Murfreesboro’ that tho closing
conflict of 1882 in the West termin
ated in the groat battle between
Rosocrnns of the blue and Bragg of
tho grey. After the successful de
fense of Corinth by ltosecrans, he
was transferred to tho command of
the Cumberland, with headquarters
at Nashville. He collected a large
army and a supply train. Bragg
had come into Murfreesboro’ from
Kentucky on a woary, tiresome re
treat, and halted only to rest his
foot-sore soldiers. The Blue and the
Grey wero now face to face and only
thirty miles apart. Tho Blue army
moved out for the attack and on the
30th day of December, found the
Groy army strongly posted on Stone
river, a few miles to the northwest of
this town. Tho commander of the
Blues massed his forces of all arms
on the Greys’ right wing, command
ed by Kentucky’s noble son and the
South’s idol. The Grey commander
laid his plans contra.
About an hour before day Hardee
made an unexpected attack on Mc-
Cook, Poor McCook cried aloud for
help from Rosecrans, but "Rosie”
thought he had heard this cry of
“wolf!” But alas for McCook! After
seven hours of hard and bloody fight
ing, seeiDg his brave Blues shattered
into mere companies, he retreated in
the best order possible, but in much
haste.
Thomas, of the Blues, received the
second shock of the Greys, which
sent him bounding to anew position.
Bullying his dispersed Blues, he held
the Greys back until “Rosie” formed
anew line. If it had not been for
the Blue division uuder Bill Hazen,
who fought as bravo men alone can
fight, the Greys would at this point
have won the day.
At night ten thousand of the Blues
who had answered to roll-call in the
morning, were now missing from the
ranks. Rosecrans, though whipped
and defeated, would not throw up
the sponge for Bragg,
A council of war placed tho Blues
on an eminence near the Greys, and
at daylight new year’s morning, 1883,
Bragg was astonished to find the
Blues ready to give battle to the
Greys. But Bragg only felt of their
lines in a few heavy skirmishes.
Early on the second day the conflict
was renewed in real earnest on the
east side of Stone river. The artil
lery was terrific and appalling, with
destruction to both the boys iu Grey
and those in Blue. Three o’clock
found the Greys en masse, and the
Blues could not stand tne mass, and
fell back across Uie river. Soon,
however, the shot, shell, canister
and grape fell fast and thick in the
ranks of tlie Greys; thousands* fell
with their faces to the Blues- soon
the slaughter was so great thut Bragg
ordered a retrogade movernnet.
Though lie had the field, the Blues
won the prize.
Nightfall again, After dark our
dear boys of tho Grey slowly and
sullenly fell back. Our exhausted
boys came through Murfreesboro
and took tho road leading to Tulla
homa. There ended a hard-fought
battle.
There are many pieces of shells,
bullets, guns, ramrods, wagons, can
teens, &e., sold to tho visitors to this
battle-field.

earth here, and to-day sleep under

How (innt Splttt Itrlxtow.
Washington special to the Boaton Herald.
The President pardoned four more whis
ky thieves to-day—two gaugers and two
storekeepers. This leaves only McDonald
ar.d Joyce now in the penitentiary, and a
great deal of influence is at work to secure
their pardon also. McDonald will proba
bly be pardoned very soon, as he is nearly
dtad with a very painful disease, Ex-
Gov. Fletcher, of Missouri, is here in be
half ot Joyce, and says that the judge who
sentenced Joyce at Jefferson City has
agreed to recommend his pardon. This
will secure his pardon. It is scarcely
more than a year since the first convic
tions were secured, and the jail delivery
is partically complete. Long before
Grant goe3 out of the White House every
whisky thief will be out of jail. The
President takes a savage delight in setting
these scoundrels free because he thinks lie
is spiting ex-Secretary Bristow.
The Popular Vote —Texas and West
Virginia having at last furnished a state
ment of their vote for President, we have
now the vote of all the States. Counting
the vote in Colorado for Governor as that
for President, the aggregates are 11s fol
lows :
For Hayes and Wheeler 4,042,*45
For Tilck-n and Hendricks 4,290,231
For Cooper and Cary 69.521
For Smith and Stewart 6.870
Scattering 3,233
Total vote 8,412,300
Some of the States have not classified
their scattering votes. Undoubtedly many
of those stated above were given for green
backs or prohibition. The figures used in
making up these aggregates are those offi
cially returned. The vote falls short of
that actually given, ns in some States coun
ties did not make returns in season to be
included in the count. —[Boston Advertis
