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. - jf fvjNl •**—*"'■* Ova a 24,000 Masons were made iu North America. Jwt year, and Uie whole number of ulfiiatetl Maaous on the con tinent at this time exceeds 000,000. 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, seven-shooter, to all new subscribers who add $4 to the price of subscrip tion ; the manufacturer’s price for th* pistol being $5. The Worcester Garette think* (list 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. —There are many young men who will not throw their money away on Christ mas presents. They will keep it for bill iard <, drinks and cigars. 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! —All the spirits and cider that are sold by grocers during the holiday season does not go into mother’t mince pies when pry ing boys investigate the contents of the household jug. 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. GEORGIANS. Many brave Georgians kissed the earth here, and to-day sleep under Tennessee’s turf. Kind and gentle women strew flowers o’er their sol diers’ mounds. THE COUNTRY Hore is a grain growing soil.

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.

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.

Ayer’s Hair Vigor, For restoring Gray Hair to its natural Vitality and Color. original color, with the gloss and freshness of youth. Thin hair is thickened, falling hair chocked, and baldness often, though not always, cured by its use. * Nothing can re store the hair where the follicles arc destroyed, or the glands atrophied and decayed. But such as remain can be saved for usefulness by this application. Instead of fouling tho hair with a pasty sediment, it will keep it clean and vigorous. Its occasional use will prevent tho hair from turning gray or falling oif, and consequently prevent baldness. Free from those deleterious sub stances which make some prepara tions dangerous and injurious to the hair, tho Vigor can only benefit but not harm it. If wanted merely for a # HAIR DRESSING, nothing else can be found so desir able. Containing neither oil nor dye, it does not soil white cam bric. and yet lasts long on the hair, giving it a rich glossy lustre and a grateful perfume. rnr.i'ARKD by Dr. J. C.
