"Anything over, Ben P” “Not a dollar, I just paid ihe Journal's bill lor advertising, which has pretty much cleaned me out." “llow much?" “Forty-two dollars and twenty-live cents. “Ben, I don’t like to tell you that you are the biggest tool on the street; but you are." "Wait Joe, and see," returned the other, with a contidenl air. "Forty-two dollars lor advertising!" “Just so, and for three months adver tising.” The applicant for “anything over” gave a peculiar whistle to deline the length, breadth and depth of his astonishment. The conversation occurred in the store of Benjamin Watson, a young and enter prising merchant, who had commenced business on bis own account. The other person, who, to use bis own classic ex prcssion, was "bang up," and w anted $50 to make up the amount of a note due that day, was Joseph Watson, a cousin of the other. They had been classmates in jtouth, and staunch friends in maturity. Though there was a great diversity of opinion on many topics, a great sympathy existed between them. They oommeuced besiness about the same time time, and under nearly the same cireumstauces, both being obliged for the waut of sufficient capital to mort gage the stock of their respective stores. Thus far they had done well, and the prospect was that they both would be come wealthy and distinguished mer chants. They had married sisters and occupied tenements in the same block. Their houses were furnished in substantially the same style, and no material difference of expenditure. Both had been brought up to business habits and educated into the principles of a rigid economy. “F'orty-two dollars for advertising," re turned Joe. "And if I had money to spare I would spend double that sum," said Bcnjamiu. "What benefit do you expect to realize from it P” "You are behind the times, Joe. Ben efit What a question I expect to make my fortune by it." “Humbug! “Book at Brandreth and Swain.” “Both humbugs.” "No matter for that; If these fellows have been able to make princoly fortunes by advertising humbugs, how much more so will he who deals in substantial reali ties “AH gammon!” “We differ; time will tell who is in the right." ••Seriously, Ben, you will ruin yourself if you keep on in this manner. Forty two dollars a quarter for advertising “Don’t do it, Ben.” “IIow does it happen, Joe, that you are in the street borrowing money I never did such a thing since I commenc ed business.” “How does it happen, Ben, that you haven't any money to lend P” asked Joe, with a smile. “Because I have spent it in advertis ing.” "Belter spend it for operas and 3 4U’s.” “Wait, Joe, wait.” “1 spent nothing for advertising but I will bet you the oysters my sales are as large ns yours lor’the last quarter. “I will take you up on the next quar ter.” “Why noton the last?" “Advertising is something like planting potatoes; you must wait for the crop." "Don’t believe it, Ben. When I have a filly spot 1 don't know wlmt to do with l shall put it into my family. Buy a libra ry, a new sola, or something of that sort. I should rather go to the White Moun tains with it than throw it away upon the newspapers." “Vou do not know your own interest. Joe.” “Don’t I? Some kinds of business might thrive on advertising; but ours, never. Do you believe the women look in the newspapers before they go shop ping “vV ell, there was a lady in hero now, who said she saw such aud such goods advertised by me.” “I’shaw! aud on the strength of that you are going to spend $3o more in ad vertising; Ben, you are crazy,” and Jo seph Weston turned on his heel and left the store, assured in his own mind that his friend was going to ruin. In his estimation such loose principles would eventually bring him to bankrupt cy. But Ben was his trieud, and he deep ly commiserated him because be clung to such pernicious doctrines. CHAPTER II. Business prospered with the young men. By prudent and careful management, each bad not only made a living, but had been able to pay a small portion of the mort gage ou tbe stock at the end of the first year. Joseph had the advantage of his friend in possessing a better location, aDd though his rent was somewhat higher, tbe differ ence was more (ban compensated by the increased facilities it afforded him. The prospect was decidedly bright to him. If his business increased as it had done, lie would be enabled to clear himself of debt in another year. Under this encouraging aspect he ven tured to spend a hundred dollar in addi tion te his furniture, which his wife insist was absolutely necessary for their comfort and happiness. The house had been fur nished altogether too plain for this pro gressive age, in her estimation. She was behind some of her friends who, she was sare. was doing no better then her hus band. Joseph was a little obstinate at first; bet than there was something so decidedly comfortable hi e set ef stuffed chairs and a lounge, that he did not hold oot In his opposition. He was doing weM, and the -i expenditure-would not seriously emburui him? With a nice new Brussel* carpet and tbe new furniture. Mrs. Weston’s little parlor looked exceedingly pleasant and comfort able. Besides, it looked a* though htr husband was prospering in bis btisinesa. It was so very nice that the young wife could not bear the idea of having the par lor shut np, so that no one conldsee it tfl! the furniture had grown rusty, consequent ly she made up her mind that they must have a party. Their friends had parties; why should’nt they It looked stingy not to have one. Mrs. Weston was an elegant debater, and she gained the day iu this matter. K is true the party was not a very extravagant affair; but it cost Jou $00. Iu the meantime Benjamin bad paid quite as much for advertising as his Mend bad for new furniture and the party. Joanph laughed at him, and finally came to be lieve that he was insane, and would oer ^inly come to ruin another year. Mrs. Ben Weston, too, felt decidedly unpleasant about the improvements which had been going on In her sister’s house. ••Why ean’t we have a rosewood table and a set of stuffed chairs, Benjamin asked she, pouting her pretty lips info a very unamiable position. Simply, my dear, because 1 can not afford it," replied tbe philosophical mao chant. •‘How can Joe afford it?” ‘•I presume he knows his own business best.” "He has pul over a hundred dollars iato his house.” Ben whistled "T'other of Jordan,” and made no replv. “I>o, Ben, buy some new chairs.” "Can’t afford if.’’ "Yes, you can.” "No, I can’t.” "You can afford it as well as Joe. "I'erlmps I can.” "Ho buy some.” i "I should be very glad to gratify yoa, nut 1 can uot take the money from my business. A year hence, if bnslness pros pers with me, you shall have them.” "A year hence,” pouted tbe wife. "i must spend a hundred dollars iu ad vertising the next quarter.” "How foolish!” "Very foolish, my dear; bnt it must be done.” "Ihat s the way you throw jour money away. ou don't catch Joe to do such a thing as that.” "true; but though he has the advan tage ol having a corner store. I paid three hundred dollars more on on mort gage note than he did.” "Then you can afford the table and chalis.” "Nay, my dear, I will not spend a dol lar for stipei lluities while I am in debt.” Mrs. Ben Watson felt very badly about it, her husband was lirm, and she was forced to content herself with plain furni ture. Mrs. Joo Weston enjoyed her nice per* lor till the novelty wore away, and than •he discovered that there were a great many other articles wanted to make tmngs look uniform. The two windows moat have drapery curtains, a pier glass was needed, and some pictures were wanted to relieve the walls. Her husband, who had once exceeded the limits of hit means, found no great difficulty in doing so again, and the tilings were bought* But Joe had some scruples about it. His notes began to be troublesome, and every day he was in the street borrowing money. His business, too, had not meet his expectations. i y* Instead of increasing in the ratio of the first year’s experience, it hardly held i|s own, and the poor fellow began to hate serious misgivings about the future; Before the year had half expired, he was obliged to introduce a rigid sy|lem of retrenchment into his family and business affairs, in order to keep bis expenses with in his means. CHAPTER in. Another year had passed away ia (he business experience of the young mer chants. The books bad been balanced, and the results stood in black and white before them. Ben had followed up bis system of ad vertising through the year. Hs hid ax pended large sums, but made the TTthlJ with judgment and discretion. The result exceeded his most sanguine expectations. His store was continually crowded with customer*; with gowd»e bona fide customers, and with but a email proportion ot gadders and fancy shoppers. The newspapers had borne to the bbst families in the eity and country toll ffc scriptions of bia Mock. His name waome familiar as “household words" in the dwellings of the rich and poor, uf the farmer, the mechanic and the laborer. Truly, the harvest was abnndant, and Ben rubbed his bauds with delight as he cast his eye over the figures whieh oUsi veyed to him the pleasing result* of his year’s operations. He had the mean* not only of clearing himself of debtioot also of gratifying his wife by giving her all the new furniture she required, beside a handsome surplus with which to iuoreoee bis business. The new furniture was bought find eet up; every debt was discharged. Mid the importers and jobbers were eager to give him unlimited credit. Uue day while he was rpminalipg an this pleasant state of things, Joe Weston entered the store. For some months past the intercourse between the yoang mer chants had not been a* tofdial as (wasr ly. Joe's nice things had ratiier set Urn np; some of the upper ten had cbhde scended to visit him; and be attaMMniie “Almack’’ parties with his mW%, lie was getting ahead aa Cast ip Uasan estimation, and cherished a supreme con tempt for the slow motion of hti Mend.

f>ail]t Jumubft Journal auuusta, Mirtaf Moraine, December 2. IS'O. Senator Gordon of Georgia joins Wade Hampton In an address protesting against the course of Gen. Huger In relation to the Sooth Carolina legislature. Gordon's in terest in the repeaters ami Kuklux that went from Georgia into South Carolina to help the democrats of the latter State in the election makes him a man of great importance in South Carolina. When he takes his seat in Congress what n red-bot champion of Home Kule he will l>e 1 TbeTilden democrats of the South Caro lina legislature occupied the State House Thursday with the republican body, each body baring its own Speaker, both of whom were in the chair at tho same time. Good nature is said to have prevailed, but thin state of things could not last a great while. The democrats contested the elec tion on the Missieeippi plan, but to get control of the legislature they are trying the Louisiana plan, which was not a suc Tbe democratic proposition to impeach President Grant for the fearless fidelity with which he has maintained peace and order in the South, is one that the hot spnrs of that party had better agitate in earnest if they wish to increase the popu larity of the President. The frequent comparisons which are made between the oourse of President Grant now and Presi dent Buchanan in 1SG1, contain a whole some lesson for democrats which thoy would do well to heed. The Louisiana Terror. The evidence of Eliza Pinkston before the Returning Board of Louisiana in rela tion to the atrocity of which she and her family were victims, has aroused the country to shuddering indignation at the horrible crime itself and the barbarous system of intimidation for political pur poses of which it is only one example amongst thousands. Iier testimony as it was given msy be found iu our columns this morning. It ought to be read in every borne in the broad land where there are hearts to feel and heads to understand the terrible exposure of brutality and vio lence which it makes. No wonder that Gov. Palmer and Trumbull and others of the men who had gone to Louisiana in the interest of Mr. Tilden were shocked when this simple woman told her awful story ot wrong and showed the wounds inflicted upon her person by the murdering Ku Klux. Brought face to face with the damning reality of southern cruelty and oppression employed to crush out the Mack vote and give a "solid South" to Tilden. their natural and belter feelings predominated for the moment, and they anelaimed against the barbarity practised upon Mis. Pinkston and her family with aa much vehemence as the republicans. "This case,” said Gov. Palmer, "is not one of the election of a President; It in volves the dignity and honor of human na ture.” Of the Louisiana whites be well Baid that "Sheridan should hold with a grip ol trot), a people who can see such infamy without remonstrance even in their pub lic prints.'’ Gov. Smith of Wisconsin, a oeUeagoe of Palmer iu the mission to Lou Waae, also turned npon the Louisiana democrats present aud exclaimed, "you Lard deceived us." At last these north era democrats were compelled to see and acknowledge that what their party ridi cules as the "bloody shirt” is a horrible fact. Iu supporting Tilden they became ooadjutors in the greatest crime of the age, the shooting, maiming, ontraging, killing of men, women and children, not alone in Louisiana but all over the south ern etatee, as the only mesns to elect a democratic President. And when repub licans spoke of these horrors as reasons why the party for which and by which they were committed should not be placed in control of the government of ibis coun try, Ike response from democrats was a burst of derisive laughter and tho excla mation, "Oh you are flaunting the bloody shirt P* They even went so far in tbeir spirit of diabolism aa to make In the State of Maine end this very city the “bloody shirt” the symbol of their supposed victory oa the 7th of November, that garment be ing suspended across our street in the presence of the chairman of the democrat ic State committee and over the office of the democratic newspaper of which he is editor. It was the sign in which they conquered if they conquered at all, •at the otter depravity and want of humanity of the leaders of the party was never more shamelessly displayed than in hoisting this emblem of the bloody deeds done by the democracy in Ix>uisi ana ae the signal of a supposed Tilden victory. A great effort haa been made to break the force of Mr*. Pinkston's revelations of democratic outrage upon her, but without avail. The facts are too glaring and well metalned to be successfully disputed. If any are yet incredulous of her story let them read the straight forward evidence paper ofBrevet M^jor Gen. Brooks, relating what he knows of political out rages in Miertasippi. For ten months pre ceding the election, he declares, nothing WM left undone that could inspire terror among the negroes. Men were dragged over rough roads, with ropes around their necks, and whipped. Others were pulled from their beds, and driven into woods #■4 swamps, from which they never ■naarged. Maiden ware so frequent that Caranenwere wanted that they must bold Ml Inquests, and in the majority of cases isyrts were not held. The effect, as cases bad by Major-Gen. Brooks, is not —rpriflag. In the back districts, where tfci tetripqwts boast Of Urge majorities j the colored voters were so frightened that they staid away from the polls. Here and there were a few w ho to Secure their lives acted with the democrats, but the great majority preferred practical disfranchise ment, with all the risk of flogging and shooting which prevailed, to desertion of the republican party. “Had tlie.se things occurred" says the New York Times “in a remote province in Turkey, Europe would have stood aghast, and Americans would have shouted as loudly as Englishmen for the punishment of all concerned. The Itashi-llazouks, however, have done nothing more horri ble than has been done bv the democrats of Louisiana. The cry tor the destruction of Turkish authority lias gone up from both continents as a result of the atrocities committed by its irregular soldiery. The Louisiana democrats, on the other hand, actually propose, by virtue of their mur derous zeal, to make Mr. Tilden President of the United States, and the great body of the democratic party applaud their ef forts. and sneer at the record of their crimes as “fuss'’ and “far-fetched stuff.” To direct attention to the damning facts, is by the same partisans, scouted as hoist ing the "bl«wty shirt.” What shall be said witli regard to the democratic party, which, through its newspapers deprecates (iov.

Tm Atrocity in Ouachita—Details or the Evidence which so Shocked the Northern Visitors. Special to the New York Tribune. New Orleans, Not. 29.—The following were the proceedings before the Ileturning Hoard, in executive session, yesterday afternoon: Eliza I’inkston, colored, one of the witnesses, wss brought in on a chair carried by two colored men, attended by a colored woman. The witness was sworn and the following interrogatories propound ed to her by Gen. Anderson Q. Do you live in Ward One, known as the Island, in the PaiLb of Ouachita A. I don't know nothing about wards. I live in Ouachita Palish, at Hugh Young’s place. y. Do you know what has become of your hus bsnd, Henry Pinkston i A. Yes, Sir. y. Was lie killed in the ray or night time? A. Ho was killed in the night—in the moruiug, before day. y. Was he in Ibe bouse and in bed when his murderer's attacked him A. Yes, Sir. y. Give the names of those who attacked him, and the manner in which lie was treated and killed A. Dr. Young was the first one that at tacked at my door. Mr. Davy—Please propound the question so she may understand it. Gen. Anderson—You say that Dr. Young was there. Witness—He was the first one; they all rode by, 30 or 40 of them, and they said, “Is Henry in A friend of Henry's is come to guide him to Mon roe.” I said, "Hut, Doctor, you are not Henry’s friend." I peeped through the crack, and Earler burst the door open. Capt. Craig cried out, “Gag him be votes no radical ticket. He may vote it in b— j he lias voted it thus far, and may vote it no faithcr.” They dime iu the house and gagged him; that is when they cut him in the leg. 1 said, “OhI.oid! don't kill my husband; that is all 1 bare got.” One man struck me in the face and on the head with his pistol. They said, “Leave the I said, "That is my hus band." I grabbed Dr. Young, and he struck me with his pistol and knocked me down on the hearth. President Wells—How many others besides Dr. Yeung Witness—There were sevcial. I was a stranger in that parish. I knowed no more of them than what each other called their names. Eiank Dcrms, 1 know him because he bad bis nose off. He was the only one and Capt. Tebault that I knowed personally. y. How did those parties nttack and kill him 1 A. They tied his legs together and dragged him out of the door and shot him seven times. They had a pocket handkerchief over his mouth. President Wells—How many times did they shoot him The Witness—Every time they shot him he drew liia breath. They shot him seven times. y. State what those parties told your husband about fooling them as to joining their democratic club A. He told them that he had fooled them thus far, but he would fool them do further. Due man said, "Hurrah for Brewster," and he said, "I reckon by daylight Urewster would be d-sorry that he got into this parish." y. Was not Henry Pinkston an active republi can, and was he not killed on that account? A. He was killed because he was a republican; they finally got him; Tebault said, “Give him-, the ho will vote no more radical tickets; if he does he will vote The witness here testified to being outraged by two men. Her testimony was then resumed. Hr President Wells—Did you see them that ahot you? Witness—Yes, Sir; they shot me twice; when they came in the house they told me to put my baby down; I told them, “No, Sir.” y. What became of yourchild Ifitwas killed who did it? A. They came into the houso and said, “Put your baby down.” I raid, “Oh, no, Sir; what do you want to kill me for lam noth ing but a woman. If you kill me, kill the whole of us." They cut my baliv’s throat from ert to ear; I raised my bands; I let my baby fall; they wanted to take something from me before they killed me; two of them had dealings with me; 1 ran under the bed, when he shot me iu the leg; they caught me by the leg and pulled me out and broke the bed. They cut me with the ax one man said. “If you are going to kill the woman don't be bothering with her,” and thev wanted to kill me, and he cut, me with a knife; Istruck him, and it Hew up, and they never saw it again; they got another knife, and they cut aud stabbed me, and they cut me ou the lege with the ax and on the side. Al tins point the woman unfastened her dress snd revealed the wounds, which were a horrible sight to look at. The effort of the examination fore delayed for a few moments until she had re caused her to faint, and the examination was there covered. Q. In your last answer you stated that your child waa killed. What became of your child'a body A. Threw it In the lake, aod we did not find it again under II days. y. Do you know of any one else being killed, shot, or whipped on aecountof their polities A. I don't know, Sir, nothing about it. I walked down to the river, and I seen Marion Itiiodes there with his guns out. Neoroes Driver from Their Homes. Q. Do you know of any persons who were driv ed away from their homes on account of their politics? A. 1 don't know, Blr, what you call politics. I don’t know who they drove away but me. All 1 know ia about myself. y. Did not many colored voters leave their homes at night through fear of these armed men riding over the parish st night? A. Yes, Bir.' I went to a heap ol people’s houses, snd they were all living out in the woods to keep from the bulldozer*. Two stayed up at the gin-house. Both were women. President Wells—You said that your husband had been thrown down. What was the actiou of the parties that threw your husband down What portion of his body did they cut? Did they cut any portion of his hodv A. Ob, yes. They’put a knife tiirough and through him. You could hear the knife griuding like you cut new leather. Capt. Tcbault told somebody to jerk his arms ont. [A portion of tbis testimony is unfit for publi cation.] Ily 1 resident Wells—They first chopped you with an ax A. Yes, Sir; and struck me on the head witbm pistol; they killed my child when they were fool ing with one; after they had killed my child I went to fight them with all my might; then Bogan subbed me hern, (pointing to her breast;) some body knocked out my jaw teeth; I did not have a hollow tooth in toj head; Uy Mr. Oauthreeax—'Would we bo allowed to pot a question to the witness President Welle—You ought to file your inter rogatories. Mr. Cauthiraux—What we want is the fulleat investigation of the cue, snd it seems to me there could be no objection on the part of the boerd to •oy end all questions that can throw any light on I hi* investigation. 1 would like to sak tins ques tion of lire yvitnes*: If she did not, on the morn ing after the occurrence, state to John T.eranson ami Tidwell that a colored man killed her husband. The witness, emphatically—Oh, no' they were not there. There were two colored men there, hut Tidwell told rne not to tell who they were. Ob, bo! Sir; they were white men. They all cam* back and tried to kill me, but they cannot have anything that way. Mr. Murray—Wc have no objection to the full est crosa-ex ami nation by Mr. Spotlbrd. Judge 8potIbrd—We are taken by surpii-eby the courae taken by the board—the ruling of the hoard— and we are not prepared to go on. GOV. I’ALMEK INDIGNANT. («ov. 1’aimer—I may here take occasion to say that this case involves more than a Presidential election. It involves the dignity and honor of human nature. I think that you will hardly satis fy the country unless you give such directions as will lead to tne complete development of all the facts iu this case. Certainly the people have no right to claim any sort of government like that winch is attempted to be shown here. 1 think you owe it to the country to allow all the facts to be developed. Senator Sherman—I concur with you, Gov. Palmer. I would like to have Gov. Palmer and Judge Spotlbrd cross-examine witnesses so me might have the facts. Geo. Smith—The mere cross-examination of this case would not develop anything. It is to in vestigate facts from all the witnesses within a reasonable number who may know the character of this transaction with this woin&u as detailed. I concur with Gov. Palmer in what he said. It docs not concern parties but concerns humanity. VAIN ATTEM1T TO DISCREDIT TI1E 8TORT OF THE WOMAN PINKSTON—TESTIMONY OF GENERAL JOHN R. BROOKS, UNITED STATES ARM I— THE SYSTEM OF THREATENING, WHIPPING, AND KILLING PURSUED IN THE PARISHES UNDER HIS OBSERVATION—A COMPLETE REIGN OF TERROR —EVIDENCE WHICH COULD NOT BE CONTRO VERTED—THE RESULT OF THE VOTE TO BE ANNOUNCED FBOBABLT NEXT MONDAT. [.Special to the iVeu’ York Times.] New Orleans, Nov. 2'J—At this morning’* session oi tbc Returning Board, tbe democraU made extramdinary efforts to overthrow tbe testi mony regarding Ibe killing of her husband and child given by Mrs. Eliza Pinkston yesterday. They were not successful. They did, fpdeed prove, that tbc poor woman had told various and contradictory stories in relation to the crime, and that at one lime sbe had charged a nomlx 1 of ne groes witli having admitted it. This Mrs. Pinks ton admits in tier original affidavit, but at tbe same time sbe swears that she dared not let any white democrat know that sbe suspected any of that party. She accused the negroes through fear and to save her life, which she knew would be sscrifiecd if sbe told the truth. Her evidence must stand among the annals of the other terrible outrages committed for political purposes upon tbe repub,icans of this State. Regarding the intimidation and violence prac ticed by the democrats, a most important witness appeated to.day in the person 01 Brevet M ajor Gen. and Lieut. Col. John H. Brooks, of the Third United States!Infantry. This gentleman has bccu stationed in Louisiana for a number of years, and during tbe last election bail command of the troops in the "bull dozed” parishes. The demo crats do not attempt to deny or question his evi dence, which was substantially as follows: "In the paiLhes of Louisiana, just prior to the elec tion, there was a complete system or organization of the white or democratic party, which had the effect off errotizing the blacks; this was especially the case in the Parishes of East Feliciana apd East Baton Rouge, tbc blacks of which came to me in largo numbers, telling me of threats made and acts committed, which caused them to fear politi cal action on their part. The threats were as fol lows Discharge, bodily injury, and in some cases extending to death, in case they (the blacks) did not join the democratic clubs and vote the demo cratic ticket. I t ave been told by many black men of both of tbe parishes that during tbc wiu ter and spring last past, many of their people had been killed and beaten by' parties to them un known, whe came in tbc night disguised aud armed, in squads numbering from ten to fifty, wbo would surround a cabin, take tbe man out, and either beat or kill him. This occurred so fre quently, tint they (the blacks) often for weeks at a time, slept in the woods away fiom tbeir bouses. 1 became satisfied from tbc frequency aud simi larity of these reports, that this was tbe fact. After I took command, there were but few out rages of this kind brought to my knowledge. Among those 1 saw one Colman Brown, a colored man, who was then suffering from a bullet wound in the thigh, which he averred was indict ed by a man named Mansnr, who was arrested and houndp.oTcr to appear in coart. This was about the 1st of July. Another man, named Gut Jackson, colored, came to me about the last of October, who had a bullet wound in the head, still open, which he avers was made by one lledus Townsend on the plantation of J. A. Riley, in East Feliciana. The reason he gave for the shooting was that he (Jackson) would uot join the demo cratic club. About tbe 1st of September, a man named Paul Johnson was taken from bis bouses at night by a body of armed and disguised men. He has never been seen since. This was told mo bv his father, who said he saw the dis guised party at the house, and traced them to a point on the Comite river, where he averred many other men had been taken in a like manner and never heard of alive afterward. The old man was very much frightened, and feared that he would be visited in like manner soon. Shortly after the 1st of September a man named Monroe Beacham disappeared under similar circumstan ces. Johnson lived near Atkinsoa’s store, near the East Feliciana line. Beacham lived near a place called Redwood. I have seen men with what appeared to me to be marks of a rope around their necks and on tbeir wrists and which they told me were such, aud were made by men placing a rope around tbeir necks or wrists and tying the other end to the pomtnell of a saddle, starting off at too brisk a pace for them to keep up. There were several of these eases. The names of the men I do not recollect. 1 sent them in most cases to the Sheriff of East Baton Buuge with their complaints. As to petce and order and obedience to the-law, I do not think there was much in the back part of the Pariah of East Baton Ronge, or anywhere in ths Parish of East Feliciana.. This is based of course, on what information 1 could get from the people of those parishes and the officers of my Command away from my own station at Baton llougc. Many democrats in the town of Baton Rouge, 1 do not now recall tbe wards, admitted to me on more than one occasion that many violent acts were be ing done in the back country, which they did not approve of. The organization of the democratic clubs partook of, as far as 1 could judge and ob serve, a military character. My instructions to my subordinate commanders were to be at all times prepared to prevebt disorders, collisions, or bloodshed, in whatever form it might appear. This for the reason that the civil authorities, es pecially in tbe Parishes of East and West Felic iana and East Baton Rouge, had on former occa sions been powerless to prevent collisions and bloodshed. In most of the cases, they were una ble to arrest the perpetrators of violence on the part of citizens of the parishes, fearing to exer cise tbeir legal functions through apprehensions of violence to themselves. As an instance coming uuder my personal observation, 1 would state that about tbe middle of June last, 1 was coming down the Mississippi river from Vicksburg to New Or leans on the steam-boat Katie. I observed about t> :30 o'clock one morning a body of armed men on the boat. Upon inquiry I learned that it was a company going below Mount Pleasant to flank a body of negroes, intrenched on a hill. The com pany numbered about twenty men, and seemed to bo thoroughly organized. They had with them a negro prisoner. They were landed about two miles below Mount Pleasant, and thev marched in that direction. X afterward learned from par ties at that place that day, X think the Sheriff >f East Baton Rouge for one, that this was but a small portion of the force at Mount I'Icasant. Wuat they did is a matter of public notoriety. Id Baton Rouge l’aiish, in the town of BatoD Rouire >uu u>« wu w*rtn nen oeiow the town, on the river, 1 do not think there was any reason why a voter could not vote aajfce chose. In what is called the back country, which includes the bal »nce. of *he. P»r«h. I think the system of threats, whtppingfsnd killing, which has existed for the past ten months, has so completely terror ized the timid blacks that but few of them would dare to vote as they pleased. As to the fact of many black men having been killed bv unknown persons, I would say that 1 know such'to be the case, from an examination of the inquests, which iuquerts did not cover all the cases of men found dead, for the reaaon, given to me by the Coroner in person, that lie had been- notified to hold no more inquests in the country, and was threatened with violence to himself if he did so. In East Feliciana i'aruh the record of the vote cast there fur the republican ticket would seem to indicate a complete teiroriaaa on ths Jpai t of the republi cans of that parish. Aly own judgment, based upon the information received from a large num ber of black voters of this parish, Is that the threats made, and the acts commuted bv the wfttea against the blacks, or in other words, by the demderats against the black republicans, were of such a nature and of such force aa to deter the republicans from voting as they chose or at aB. Uoo. iirooka was subjected to a severs cross-ex animation by the democratic lawyers, but his tea tiinoaj was aot impaired in any way. The boerd decided to-day that they would hear •a more testimony after Friday neat. On the evening of that day they will commence making their return*, and it is understood that the report will be announced on Monday. mHoturll fcoral Xrtus. Thauksgiving services were held in the 1'rcc Baptist church in this city, on Thursday forenoon last, «9 previously announced. The sermon by Kev. Mr. Wood was devoted exclusively to topics connected with our annual festival®, and their original significance and methods of observance Rev. Messrs. Newcomb and I^aLacheur assisted in the exercises. In the evening a temperance meeting was held in City Hall, and interesting ad dresses were made by clergymen and others in this city, and also from visiting brethreu from West Lardincr. Notice was given of the anniver sary exercises of the Temperance Reform Club to be held on Thursday evening next. The occasion will undoubtedly be one of much interest. The family and friends of Mr. Thomas J. Me servey ia this city, received a telegram from Portsmouth, N. II., on Friday morning, informing them of his death in that city, after an illness of a few ilays. We learn that he was suddenly at tacked on Sunday night with a supposed paralysis of the brain,and remained in an unconscious state at the hotel where he was stopping, until relieved by death on Thursday night, llis wife, who had l»cen spending a few weeks in York, Me., was summoned by telegraph immediately after |his attack, and arrived iu Portsmouth the following morning. Besides a devoted wife be leaves two promising sons, with brothers and sisters and a large circle of other relatives ami feiends to mourn this sad and sudden event. His body will be brought to this city for interment. We learn that the Benevolent Society of this city, will meet at the residence of Major K. Row ell, ou Tuesday afternoon next, instead of Thurs day. The anniversary exercises of the Temper-1 ance Reform Club occurring on Thursday eve ning rendered the change as above desirable. The river presented a beautiful mirror of iee over its entire surface to the bright sunlight of Fiiday morning; whether or not it will “stick” will depend largely upon the state of the weather. Several vessels are now unloading here; and un less there should be milder skies their chances for getting out are extremely precarious. The mer cury on Friday morning was only ten to twelve degrees above zero. No snow yci. Throwing stones, clubs, brickbats, *ke., upon the iee will not be likely to improve the skating upon the river. It would be well to wait until the ice is strong before trying experiments as to its powers of resistance. 'The Cascade pond was used as a skating park on Thauksgiving day, though the ice was extremely “thin” in some places. Look out, boys, and shuu weak ice. Gavtmur ILocal Xrtos. The rattling of the dice in the box, the shout of the lucky individual as he grasps the legs of the unlucky bird his fortune lias brought him, the grumbling growls of the unlucky fellow who has given his dollars aud got no gobbler, the usual accompanying sounds of a Wednesday eve before Thanksgiving Day, were not omitted this year in Gardiner.

Mr. Hutchins, the pastor. Rev. C. C. Richardson of Geneva, X. Y., will occupy the llniversalist pulpit Sunday afternoon and evening. The attendance at the shooting match, held on the old fair grounds, Thursday afternoon, wus not very large, on account of the extremely cold weather. The best shooting was done by John W. lierry, and he received the prize, a silver cup.

Mist Susie Wood of this city, and Clara Cross, visiting relatives here, while tiding in Htllowell, Thursday afternoon, met with an accident. At the upper end of Water street, their horse was frightened by a hand car that was passing the rail road crossing. Tbe horse ran up Winthrop street, where the carriage was overturned and tbe ladies thrown out. Mist Wood struck upon her head, catting a gash in her face and bruising her other wise i but Misa Cross received the most serious in juries, io the dislocation of the hip. Tbe fine dear weather continues at tbe present writing, altboagh the air has a decided winter keenness and penetration. No snow has fallen as yet, aud tbe roads are smooth and hard. Ice has formed above and below the dam, along the shores, though there still remains a free open space in the centre, down which ice floated quite freely yester day. A schooner that came to our wharves load ed with coal, on Tuesday, discharged speedily, and sailed away, on Thursday, just in season to escape the ice embargo. Harvey's old calamity remains here at one of the wharves, and is em bedded in the ice. On Thanksgiving morning, at about 5 o'clock, the bouse, barn and outbuildings of Hiram W. Campbell, near Jimmy's Pond, on the road from llallowell to the Outlet, so-called, in Manchesftr, were destroyed by fire. The barn was in flames when the family awoke, and its contents, consist ing in part of forty tons of hay, four steers, two cows, two sboats, and farming tools, including a mowing machine, were burned. A horse was saved with gnat difficulty, but Mr. Campbell was injured badly while attempting to save him. Only a part of the furniture in tbe bouse was saved. I.ois about $2o00; insured for $1900. The fire is supposed to have been set by tramps or drunken ugabonds. The place was formerly owned and occupied by 8. Carrier, Jr. The Governor and Council held a brief session on Thursday, for the purpose of declaring the election of Presidential electors, and issuing cer tificates to the same.

DAY. flow the Day w*i Observed In litis Ity and Vic In-tv— ltcllglous ami Other El trdNi* It is usual for cur people to take sufficient note of Thanksgiving Day, and the significant lesson which it teaches, to assemble themselves at church* representatives ficm all the different denomina tions in the city heii g teprcs.eotfd. The splendid weather of Thuisdsy brought out a laigc congre gation on Thursday forenoon, to attend the union services held at the Free Baptist church In the audience were l»ov. Connor, the im-ml>ers of his Executive Council, and several other distinguished gentlemen from abroad. Music was furnished by the very excellent choir connected with the church, led by Mr. J. Howard Chandler. The preliminary services in the pulpit, were conducted by Kcv. Mr. Ecob of the Congregational church, and lie?. Mr. Tilden of tho First Kaptist church. The sermon on the occasion was preached by Key. C. F. Penney, pastor of the Free Baptist church. For bieadth of thought, patriotic sentiment and grace of utterance, it was perhaps the best public effort of bis life, snd was greatly commended. We are able to present to our readers s very full abstract of the discourse. Rev. Mr. Peuney'a Sermon. Mr. Pc oner'a subject was "Moral Culture iu Cit izenship.” Text, Acts 22:28, "And Paul said, llut I was free-born.” Paul bad been arrested on a most friv iluus charge, and was about to be scourged, hut he stood upon bis rights as a Roman citizen. That was to him a protection. 11 is civ il position was not a matter of indifference to the Apostle. Though he was occupied with the highest themes and tasks, as the business of his life, yet, when the occasion came that required it, uo man was ever more prompt in show ing the es timate which he placed on his political pi it i egere hut he made them all subordinate to the cause of God. lie insisted upon his political rights for the sake of the cause to which his life was dedicated. Citizenship, like evety gift, is to he consecrated by the spiritof re ligion, is to he held under rnpral restraints, and is to be dedicated to the very cause ofen efit, without enjoiuing corresponding duties upon us. We are apt to feel thatlne State is in the na ture of a car, which wc use for our own purposes. We pay our fare, and take transportation, aud that is all. Men think that by paying their taxes they are paying their passage, thinking that there is no interests beyond our own that we are hound to serve. Rut the State is God's ordinunce, and the man that is born into the .State is born iuto God’s ordinance, as really as he would he if he were born into a church, or a spiritual communion. The State means men, aud God puts us into the midst of our fellow men, giving no liberty to any one to de nude himself of those benevolences and those great duties which every man owes to his brother man everywhere. Contrast this with the wicked and selfish attitude in this regard. To obtain every thing possible of protection and immuuity and privilege and benefit, without thinking of any equivalent service rendered, seems natuial. It is scarcely considered selfish. We never think of paying the skies for the suushine; we never think of paying the clouds for the rain aud men icccive the benefits of the .State almost as insensitive to any indebtedness thereto as to skies that scud down light upon them, or the clouds that drop fat ness on their fields. Civil responsibility is con sidered a hardship, and men shift it from them selves upon their fellow men. They are will ing that the magistrate whom they have elected should do as he pleases, so long as their times and means are not draw n upon. There aie many even, who seek their c wn good at theexpeusc of the public. They feel that the public is a vague, imper sonal thing, a sort of genet ality before which men lay aside their moral scruples that obtain between man and man. And there is a wide spread feeling that that which men ti.ch and tleccefrom the .State is gain that is scarcely dishonestly acquired. Men feel that robbing the State, is robbing, not a fel low man, but an impersonality. And when hones ty, and honor and noble conduct is taught as due to the State, many think it a romantic sentiment alism. They laugh at the idea that a man must not make his profit out of the community. "Gov ernment is rich the State is strong," they say and so take from the State and the government what they can, without any idea of bcuevolence, or honor, or truth, or justice. When such is the practice is it not time to educate tint. Every man, then, owes himself to the State, and all his powers, to be held according to the law of Gospel benevolence for the public good. Every one should seek lor the development in himself of a character for integrity and truth and honor and usefulness, for the sake of the State and the nation to wjiich be belotige. Material wealth does not make a nation rich; the power of men to produce material wealth may make a na tion rich, but material wealth itself does not. Mil itary power dors not necessarily make a nation strong. The power of a citizenship to generate military power may make a nation strong, hut the mere existence of arms does not. The triumphs of art and ingenuity do not necessarily make a na tion conspicuous. The living power of art and ingenuity among the masses of men make a na tion conspicuous; hut the triumph of art and in genuity do not. It is the living force, and not the products of that force, that gives strength. It is not so much what the hand docs, as what the hand has in it the reserved force to do, that makes the State sliong. 1 bis is ilie peculiar Christian idea. «c arc tanght by Christianity to take care of tbe indivd uals of society, beginning at the bottom, where the masses are. Not to take cognizance simply of the best specimens, but of all mankind. The elements of strength are in the individuals of tbe masses of men. Men are dangerous just so far as they are undeveloped, and safe just so far as they are intelligent and Christian. And here lies tbe difference between what uiay be called the American idea of society, and the Euro|iean idea. We hold that the masses of men, being thorough ly educated, are the most trustworthy and the easiest to govern. We tiust men, and found our government on trust We educate them that we mop trust them. Tnitt ia the very root of -our system of government. We take all laws and in stitutions, and say “they are safe with the masse* of the people.” The European idea says, “l'ick out the best men in society, and the laws and in stitutions may be safe with them; but they would not be safe with the masses of men." llut it can tie shown that all the wisest men have been able to devise, has not been equal to the Instincts of the great masses of men in respect to those sub jects which belong to the great masses of men. We do not easily understand what is the strength that come* to the State from giving each one of its citizens to it a well developed man. The best gift that a person can give to the State is kimttlf, equipped and armed with intelligence and virtue. For illustration tbe preacher referred to the differ ence between aociety io tbe North and society in tbe South, in our own land; which was shown conspicuously in our late war. ti*oond. Christian citiaensbip requires that ev ery man should hold his profession, his trade, bis avocation, whatever it is, for tbe pnblic good, as for his own good. Of couise every manhaaapei sonal right of benefit in that which he pursues for a livelihood. This is not selfish. Justice to one's self is uot selfishness, llut the benefit which ac crues to a man's own self from bis calling, is joined in tbe economy ot Cod, to the benefit con ferred upon others; and in general it may be said, that io all lawful callings in society, the benefit of the actor and commuoity are commensurate. Tbe trade that any mao may follow is none tbe less for the benefit of society because it pays him hack agaio. It would be foolish to regard a man's avo cation in tbe light of disinterested benevolence, but on tbe other hsnd it would be wrong to re gard it as a mere selfishness. A man’s calling is s thing in which Uod make* benevolence and self interest work together, to restraio and help each other. It is just here that Christianity should come in to dignify and enoble tbe ordinary pas sage* of human life. The apostle finds in the low est possible specimens of men incentives to gen erous conduct. lie calls upon man who are not their own owners, end who toil for others’ good, to be faithful and true for Christ's sake. Tbe State has a right to demand that a man be more than a good ntighbor, a kind father, brother end hntbend, a faithful and conscientious business man; it demands that every Christian man ahall make tbe honor and the purity of the community e personal duty. lie abould see to it that tbe foundations of the society to which be belongs are well established in education; to see that the civil organization is conducted wisely, and is full of power for good; to secure the pub lie welfare ia political matters. Ha ia under solemn obligation to mold public sentiment aright. The discharge of political functions is not a hol iday sport. Politics is the American citizen’s civ il religion. It ia a shame and a reproach that io communities where churches and chriatian men' abound, civil affair* are often conducted on the worst pattern of tbe worst citizens. The ebris ttan pulnits of our Und have been shamefully si lent oq this subject. It is the sphere of the pul pit to instruct men in relation to public affairs. In the time of our fathers, the pulpit put forth noun certain sound, but late years they have been par tially silenced, and we are eating to-day the bit* ter fruits of that silence. “No politic# iu the pul pit!” You will never have an incorrupt citizen ship (ill you have a pulpit that teaches people what are their duties to the State, and inspires men, by the whole power of the (iospel of Christ, to be just and true and noble-spirited in their re lation to public* affairs. The church, in a republic w here a citizen has to do with public affairs, is recreaut to duty if it docs not teach him his duty respecting them. And it is very strange that men are so slow in seeing this. Christiaos permit one of the most important engines in the world to pass oul of their bands almost entirely. Why should we not seek to have the laws and the policy of the community administered according to the spirit of Christian equity and Christian purity? There seems to settle on Christian people the idea that politics is in the hands of evil, selfish men, that there is little use in attempting to modify their course, an I the country sutlers inconse quence. Men who are intellectual and refined arc not entitled to the light to retire from public respon sibly. A great many men act as if, when they had become so cultured that they rose supeiior to their fellow men, they had a diploma of selfishness —that they have the right to indulge their own fastidious tastes, and leave the great uncultured community just as they aie. Hut every man owes whatcvei gills of understanding and genius Cod has bestowed upon him to the community in which his lot is cast. in view oi loose ueuuctions, unsiinn parents should begin early in the training of their child ren, in the ideas of patriotism and Christian duty to their country. If patriotism is to exist at all, it must he kindled iu childhood. Finally, nothing but high moral training can save our country from these moial convulsions which, with such people as ours, threaten us. Fieiy ambitions are at work which threaten our prosperity and national integrity; and there is nothing but that instruction which comes from the word of God, aud is inspired by the Spirit of God, there is nothing but the education of our people in the Christian doctrine of citizenship, that will prepare us to hear the stress of the time to come. This continent is to preseut a higher spectacle of spiiitual integrity than the world has ever seen, hut it must be by the faithful applica tion of the great Christian ethics to citizenship. God has been pleased to give this nation the right principles aud the right truths. And in order to unfold the notions of true liberty, we must pre pare ourselves. We must not be ashamed of lib erty. We must be willing to take her with all her responsibilities. We must he willing to take our own doctriucs and our own ideas, and conse crate them, aud live by them and for them, and be proud to present to (iod and angels and men the world over, the example of a nation that is built up by justice and liberty aud Christian civili zation. The Day In Other Respect*. Almost a Sabbath stillness tcigned in the city the entire day. There was no rum driuking or disor der of any kind, if we except a solitary fight that was not disastrous in its results. The police had no occa^ii u tp make arrests, and therefore the municipal court was without business. The own ers of teams improved in a measure the fine trav eling, aud visited their friends in the country. It has been some time since we had a snowless Thanksgiving, and the oddity of moving about on wheels was frequently remarked upon. l^uite a nuiubir of expert marksmen attended the shooting match "over the river,” and returned bearing their trophies with them. The boys and girls improved their time iu tkatiogon '‘frog” pond, and every other pond where they could find ice iu sufficient quantity to indulge in this ex hilt rating sport. The Capita) Guards turned out some forty strong with beat of drum, taking the train for Auburn, where they spent the day as the guests of theii brothers in arms, the Auburn Light Iufantry. They returned yesterday, and speak enthusiastically of the manner in which they were received ami entertained. The Auburns did everythiog possible to make their stay pleasant. A very interesting meeting of the St. Mary's T. A. and 11. Society w as held in its hall onThurtdav evening, on which occasion earnest and pointed remarks iu praise of the society and its chosen work were made by Messrs. Creaban and Murphy of this city, and by Mr. T. O’C. Rowe of Bath. This organization has recently been augmented by the adJition of several new members. The society is in good financial condition, and is des tined to perfouu a great deal of good in the com* munity. A pleasant time was enjoyed at the Ball at Meonian IUll, where some seventy couples gath ered. The music by Hanagan’s Orchestra, was first class as usual, and special mention should be made of the cornet solo, Metropolitan Polka, a very fine selection, which was performed in ar tistic style by Mr. J. E. Cleus. At the Insane Hospital. The day was observed according to modern custom at the Insane Hospital. The day though cool, was all that could be asked for, and tho pa tients were anxious for the annual reception pro vided by Dr. Harlow, the Superintendent. In years past these occasions have always been sources of anxiety to the officers of the institu tion, as there was no suitable place where the large numbers could meet together. The private parlors and corridors have always poorly satisfied the wants of the officers, who by this annual gathering together of the better class of patients feel that much good is accomplished for all. The buildiug of the new and spacious hall gives the room.much ueeded for all meetings of what ever nature, and is so constructed that it is beau tiful in design aDd finish, and easy of access to all. Thursday evening about two hundred patients received invitations to attend the annual gather ing on this time-hnnored day. Throughout the day every person in the institution had been sub stanlilly remembered, and the evening was devo ted to adding to the happiness of mind and body. The ball was well tilled with the patients, and be sides these there were the members of the execu tive council and their wives, some of the trustees and ladies and other friends of the institution, all coming together to show by their presence the sym pathy felt for the poor unfortunates, and to add to their pleasure by smiling faces and kindly expres sions. The exercises consisted of games, singing by the Hospital club, and dancing. The refresh ments provided were bountiful, amply satisfying the wants of all. The officers, one and all, gave evidence of their interest in those under their care, by the real with which they labored to make the even ing a pleasant one. 9kowh«|sB Locals. The lumbermen are preparing for their winter’s work in the woods. Several teams have already gone, and more are to follow soon.

An Anxious Wattc. 1. The situation in South Carolina it full of dan ger. estcrday Iwlb legislature occupied repre sentatives hall, tbe democrats going in first. The republicans came later and the speaker occupied the clerk s desk. After an hour of turbulence but no outbreak, both bodies adjourned, (ien. Huger has informed ibe democrats from Edgefield and Laurens that they will not he admitted to day, and Senator Cordon and Wade Hampton have advised them to remain unless removed by force. Trouble is apprehended. New koRK, December 1. The Herald piiots the following from Columbia, S.C., dated one A. M.: At one A. M. the two houses are still in session, members sleeping, smoking, conversing, and a few listening to the eloquence of a negro from Charleston county, known as Francis Hill, the saute I orator. Both parties are holding the fort till noon. The democrats know if they go out they will not lie admitted; and they propose to stay until twelve M., to-day, when the Laurens anil Edgefield delegations will doubtless be eject ed by federal aoldiers. Columbia December 1. The dual houses con tinued in session all night, and at a moment before 12 ro. a motion was put by a member of each side that tbe House now adjourn. The motion was en tertained by each speaker, put end carried simnl taneously. Speaker Wallace then announced that the hour of 12 m. having arrived the house was called to order, Speaker Mackey also called his house to order. The services of yesterday were repeated. Mo tions were made on both sides and with some ol der attaiued. There was intense suppressed ex citement, all eyes bting turned anxiously toward the door in expectancy of the advent of the Uni ted States troops. Tom Hamilton (Ind. rep.) remarked significant ly— “This thing is going too far. It will break up in a row." Keid, colored, spoke io favor of peace and har mony and the adjustment of the difficulty io some wav amicable to both parties. Hamilton replied, explaining that what he knew and saw warranted him in the belief that there would be a row. He saw (pointing to a corner of the hall) the republican committee on privileges and elections in session, ready to scat and elect any person to that body to give them a quorum and a majority sufficient to override alt opposition and carry out their programme, hacked up by the army of the United States. He warned the re publicans about what they were aboat to do and said it would be condemned by all the people of the United States. Overcome by bis feelings broke out iu tears, but continued his remaiks, making most earnest appeals to his colored broth ers. 130 P.M. Arrived and no troops. A false alaim which caused great excitement was created by the falling in of tbe relief for the guard who loaded rheir muskets down stairs anu were re ported to be getting ready to come into tbe House to remove the democratic speaker auJ tbe members from Edgefield and Laurens. A democratic memlier spoke in favor of com promise and solution of tbe matter of the Dual House. He proposed that tbe matter be submit ted to a committee of conference, composed of six ot each party in tbe House and also six of each party in the Senate, and that pending the report of the committee the Dual House adjourn uni if it is submitted. The same correspondent says that a conversa tion took place this morning between prominent democrats and (ien. Huger during which the eit ualion was fully explained to that officer. lie appeared impressed with the injustice done the democrats through the instrumentality of tbe troops, end he now hesitates to march into the hall of the House of Keprescutalives and remove the Edgefield end Laurens delegation and the democratic speakers. It is further stated that he has telegraphed to Washington fur instructions before acting. The time lor canvassing the vote for Governor and Lieutenant-Governor is set by tbe republi cans at 4 o clunk P. M. If Hampiuo is counted out by tbe ret ublicans, tbe Hayes vote, the dem ocrats say, will fall also, for one it so iodisolubl; connected with the other that wbat breaks one breaks Ibe other. This it understood to be the cause of Huger's hesitancy. Both speakers agreed to adjourn their respective bouses simultaneously to meet to-morrow at 12 m. with the status of each unchanged. Tbit to take effect immediately, provided that Gen. Huger will agree. General Huger refutes on the ground that he must obey orders if he receives them from Washington. Tbe houses will not therefore be likely to adjourn. Washington, December 1. Tbe following ie en extract of the commuuicatiou received trom Gen. Huger Columbia, S C-, December 1. Gen. Sherman or lue Secretary of War, Wash ington 1 have carefully abstained from interfering with the organization of the House from the first. On application of tbe Governor, and my own belief for the necessity therefor, for the preservation of the peace, I placed troops in ibe capital but not in tbe rooms of the assembly of either of the beuses on the dsy of tbe meeting. It ctrne shout that for a time soldiers were placed on either side of the door of the entrance to the hall of represen tatives under the following circumstances: A person at Ibe door ol tbe House sod who daiuitd authory io examine the certificates of those claiming to be members prior to their ad mission to the ball, but who I tbink had no legal authority for so doing, applied to the officers in command of the troops placed io the corridor for the preservation of peace and for assistance on the ground that he was being pressed upon, and could not perform his duty. The soldiers were placed as stated. As so m as I was fully informed of the circum stances 1 ordered the soltliere withdrawn, ae I had previously informed Gov. Chamberlain that 1 should confine my action to tbe preservation of the peace end should do oothing with reference to keepiog the door of the rooms tbe meeting of both bouses, or the rooms themselvee unleea it be come necessary because of the breech of the peace which the civil officers of both houses should be uueble to restore. No act wee done by the soldiers except that of their presence as stat ed, but whilst they were to present persons claim ing the rgbt of entrance under tbe certificate of the clerk ot the Supreme Court were refused admission. (Signed), iuomas ll. huger, Commanding the Department. FLORIDA. Despatches from Tallsbasaoe, Florida, continue very encouraging, although aa jet little progress it made in counting contested parishes. There is a straggle over every county. Republicans are coalldent that Hayes s majority of 40 will be large ly increased by the canvassing board throwing out balloto of intimidated districts, llis majority will not be lesi then 400. LOUISIANA. Xew York, December 1. A Xew Orleans special lays the republican and democratic com mittees have been herd at work, preparing re ports tor reference to president end congress.

Where do you keep yeurself?” asked Ben. ••Business, Ben; business 1” replied Joe. demurely. "Good! business before pleasure.” '.Anything over to-day asked Joe; but the query was not put in that elastic tone which had distinguished him in form er times. "A trifle; bow much do you want re plied Ben, promptly. ••To tell the truth I am -bang up.’ I have a note for four hundred to pay, and I have not raised the first dollar towards It.” “You are late; it is half-past one,” re plied Ben, consulting his watch. “Ben, I am in a tight place,” said Joe, in a low, solemn tone. •'Indeed! I am sorry to hear it, and Ben's face wore an expression of sincere sympathy. "It is nothing serious, I hope P” "I am afraid so.” "What can I do for you?" and the young merchant took down his check book and examined the state of his bank account. "I can give you a check for three hun dred, if that will do you any good,” he continued, taking up the pen to fill out the blank. "Thank yon. Ben; yon are very kind, but I don’t know as I ought to take it.” “Not take it! Why not P” “If I should pay this note there is hard ly a possibility that 1 could get through the month.” “So bad as that! Ton my word I am sony to hear It.” "Smith and Jones advised mo to make an assignment.” "How does it happen 1 thought you were doiug well “Business has been very dull for tho past six months. Haven't you found it so “Well, no; it has been driving with me.” Joe knew it had; indeed, his present visit was not to borrow money, but to pre pare his friend for the "smash” which was unavoidable. ■‘Mr sales have been light,” continued be, “I can’t account for it.” ••I can; look here, Joe.” Ben took down his ledger, and pointed to the aoooout “Charges,’"where the sums paid for advertising had been entered. On a slip of paper he had footed them up. “Five hundred and sixty-five dollars lor advertising, Joe! That’s what did the business.” Joe was astonished. It was quite as much as he had paid for fine things for his home, and for parties and the opera; but the investment had been vastly more profitable, inasmuch as, taken in connec tion with the careful management of his business and bis economical manner ol living, it had lain the foundation of his future fortune. It had given him a good start In business, and a good beginning is half the battle. Joe Weston failed, and paid only twen ty cents on a dollar. His fine furniture was sold, and he was obliged to board out. But in his extremity Ben was his true friend. He received him into his house, and when his business was settled up. took him into partnership.
