He sustained, at the hands of Mr. T. W. Lamb, his first de feat on the 10th. Mrs. Belve, of Lockwood, an attor ney in Washington, has made an argu ment before the House Committee on Judiciary in advocacy of the bill per mitting women to practice before the United States Supreme Courts. It is believed that Messrs. Kuctt, Chairman Lynde and Culberson, Democrats : and Messrs. Butler, Frye aod Lappan, Re’ publicans, are in favor of the bill. The population of Georgia is 1,250- €OO. Of these 60 per ceub. are whites and 40 per cent, are colored The pop ulation is mostly native, only -about 12 r -000 being foreign born. The women are in exoess of the men by about 1£ per cent. Of this population 6 per cent, are, engaged in manufacturing, 4 per cent, in trade and commerce, 15 per cent, in professional or personal service, wad 75 per cent in agriculture.

The Tennessee Legislature is now in extra session for the purpose of taking steps towards the readjustment of the State debt: The Governor, both Uni° ted States Senators, and Postmaster* General Key, have urged the Legisla* ture to accept tho 60 cents compromise offered by the bondholders. It is very probable that this proposition will be adopted, though there is a considerable element in that State, as well as in Vir ginia, that virtually favor repudiation. A Russian statement has beeu pub., lished which aaya rather than agree to a patched up peace Russia will con tinue to war.

Plevna, has been, after a des perate struggle, abandoned by the Turks, and it is lelieved the war can not continue for any length of time D)W. The scheme for telegraphing without wires, by means of aerial currents of electricity, has been revived by Profes sor Loomis. He has met with success in u*ing kites for this purpose, a copper wire being substituted for the usual kite string. Signals were transmitted thus between kites ten miles apart. 11 is new experiments are .made in the mountainous regions of West Virginia, between lofty peaks. Cun* tinuous aerial currents are found at these al.itudav, which will serve the purposes of the telegraph, except when rarely in terrupt-d by violent disturbances of the atmosphere. A sc> erne is now on foot test the merits rf aerial telegraphy in the Alps.

Galveston , Texas, December 6.—Two Kentuckians,Picket and Lolland, arriv ed in Galveston to-day, from Monterey, Mexico, where they were engaged in photography. They were compelled to leave, owing to the intense feeling against Americans. Passing through the •Siena Madre mountains they were at tacked by ten Mexicans, under com,- mand of Pedro Oirnes, and robbed. Holland was shot in the right hand. Be fore reaching the Rio Grande at Ranch Gertrudes, they met a band of fiftyjrob bers, who ordered them to leave jlexi to at once.

Kcw States. There are plenty of new States and territories in prospect. Utah wants to get in as the Stale of Deseret, and New Mexico is equally anxioui to join the Union under some Mexican-Indian name. It is also proposed to divide Dakotah into three new territories The eastern part is to be rechristened as either Huron or Pembina. The act creating this territory has already pass* el the Senate Committee, and will un doubtedly be favorably reported and adopted by Congress in a few days In the western part of Dakotah the Black Hills folk3 think that they have arrived at a degree of importance that entitles them to recognition a* citizens of the new territory of Lincoln. It is possi ble that they may succeed in having a new territory created, but not under this name proposed. Congress decided some time since that no territory should receive the name of any American cit izen, however illustrious he may have been, holding that sueh a system was confusing, illogical, a.id based on no proper idea of nomenclature. The peo pie of Colorado were anxious to inter the Un : on under the illustrious title of the State of Jefferson, but this name was actually refused by Congress, and the Coloradians requested to find some bettei title for the new State. Tbs advocates of the Territory of Ok lahama, to be formed out of a part of the Indian Territory, are also advoca ting this measure before Congress.

A dispatch from Stanford Ky., savs : Great excitement was created here by a report that several menwho bad been ar-- rested at Crab Orchard, in this county, on a ehargefof burglary,had taken pos session of that place and were defying the liw and the officers in charge of them. A tolegiam from that place called for aid, and the Sheriff, with twenty-five well armed men went there last night to give relief. The parties arrested are George Saunders and Bob James. They are charged with open ing the store of John Buchanan there on Saturday night last and hauling off about a thousand dollais’worth of goods consisting of whole hogs just slaug!-.ter r ed, a sack of coffee, wheat, clover seed, boots, shoes, a barrel of brandy, ‘etc These things were found in corn shocks on the farm of Saunders. The trial has been set for to'morrow, but it may not be held for several days. A reign of terror seems to prevail at Crab Or chard at this time, but good citizenslare determined to put a stop to all such lawlessness. Saunders is a brother of Walter Saunders, who was killed at Richmond, Ky., recently James, the other prisoner is a son Rev.JohnJames, a respected Baptist minister ef this county. Two negroes have been arrest ed as partners in guilt. - There are two large Mennonite settle ments in the province of Manitoba. One of these is known as the Rat River Re servation, comprising a tract of eight townships, which coutain an aggregat r of about 174,000 acres. Within this reserve are thirty two villages, with a population of nearly 4,000. The tract lies east ot the Red river, and be gins about twenty-two miles southeast of Wiouipeg. The other reservation lies west of the Red river,and is known ae the Dufferin Reserve. L adjoins the boundary line between the Manito ba and the Territory of Dakota, and ex tends eastward to within a short dis tance of the river. It consists of sev enteen townships, containing over 270,- 000 acres eighteen villages, and about 2,000 inhabitants. In addition to these two settlements, a few Mennonites have settled on the Scratching river, a few miles south of Winnipeg. The popula tion of the last namcdfsettlement is about 200.

MR A1 BERT GROOKER, tne well-known druggist and apothecary, of Springvale, Me., always ad ises ev<-ry one troubled with Rheumatism to try VEGETINE. Read His Statement; Springvale, Mjs., Oct., 12, 1876. Mr, 11. R.

(here would le weeks at a time that I could not step one step ; these at tacks were quite often. I suffered every thing that a man could.

Stevens Dear Sir: My daughter, after having a severe attack of Whooping Cough, was left in a feeble state of health. Being advised by a friend she tried the Vegetine, and af ter using a few bottles was fully restored te health. I hive been a great sufferer from Rheu matism. I nave taken several bottles of the Vegetine for this complaint, and am happy to say it tas entirely cured me. I have recommended the Vegetine to others with the same good results. It is a great cleanser and purifier of the bl* od ; it is oleasant to take and I can cheerfully tec* ommend it. JAMES MORSE, 364 Athens street. RHEUMATISM is a DISEASE of the Blood. The blood in this disease is found to con tain an excess of fibrin. Vegetine acts by converting the blood from its diseased con dition to a health circulation. Vegetine regulates the bowels which is very impor tant in this complaint. One bottle of Veg etine will give relief, but to effect a perma nent cure it must be taken regularly, and may take several bottles, especially in cases of long -landing. Vegetine is sold by all Iruggists. Try it, and your verdict will be the same as that of thousands before you, who say, “I never found so much re lief as from the use of Vegetine,” which is compose! exclusively of BarJcs, Roots and Herbs. egetine,” says a Boston physician, “has no equal as a blood purifier. Hearing of its many wonderful cures, after all other remedies had failed, I visited the laborato ry and con.inced myself of its genuine merit. It is prepared from barks, roots and herbs, each of which is highly effect ive, and they are compounded in such a manner as to produce astonishing results.” VEGETINE. NOTHING EQUAL TO IT. South Salem, Mass., Nov. 14, 1876. Mr. H. R. Steaens:,— Dear Sir ; I have been troubled with Scrofula, Cancer and Liver Complaint for three years ; nothing ever did me any good until I commenced using the Vegetine. I am now getting along first-ra.*'\ and still using the Vegetine. I consider there is nothing equal tc it for such complaints. Can heartily recoaimend it to everybody. Yours truly. MRS. LIZZIE M.
