^AILV VUL.UA1JBJ TUESDAY MORNING. DECEMBER 10, 18751. NUMBER 211. I BROOKS OR BAXTER. A Legal Review or the Ml nation by a Lawyer of this City. Following we give a communication published In the Gazette of the 8th iiist. That paper says It is from a legal gentleman of this city. In It the writer clearly lays down the law ami the facts, and we Invite a careful perusal of it by every citizen who has a thought of tak ing part in any forcible proceeding looking to the Inauguration of Mr. Brooks and his friends The writer has evidently examined the law care fully and brought good judgment to his aid In drawing his conclusions. The precedents quoted are strictly applica ble to the siluktiou here. Tills is the view from a democratic stand-point, and the advice given should be heeded j by democrats: j Weavsireto make some suggestions for the benefit of those gentieiuen who propose to create a disturbance, and are looking to a forcible inauguration of Jostph Ilrooks as governor; and par ticularly for the Consideration of those well-tm-aning people, who, from their natural aud very excusable ignorance of the laws governing the case, are likely to be led a-*»ray by the suppres sion of truths and Khrgestions of un truths by the brindle organ and its c*> adjutors. Many persons, by reason of the untrue anti delusive statements of wrongs, which they imagine have been luflicted upim them, might be, with good motives, induced to compromise themselves by some connection wiih such revolutionary movements ns are suggested by the Journal, who would not do so were they aware of the laws governing the case, and the terrible consequences to ensue therefrom. The Brooks men con tend t hat he is elected bv by upward of3,000 majority. The Baxter men say he is elected by upward of 4,000 majority. The Brooks men propose to install their leader in any event. The Baxter meu propose to inaugurate who ever shall be declare.! •elected by tile proper legal authorities authorized By law so to declare. Let us see what will be the condition of tilings upon which any such pro posed contest or disturbance call arise. Upon the assembling of the legislature at tlie day ilxed by law for the meeting thereof, those who claim to he elected as members of tlie respective houses, will appear in the chambers allotted to them at the state-house. Then and there tlie secretary of slate will, in cum Chance Willi law (Acts 18(18, p 3-0), "lay eforeeach house a list of the members elected agreeably to the returns in Ills office.” The persons whose names ure upon these lists compose the only con stitutional ami 1 gal l.gislaiure of tlie stateas provided for by tlie constitution aud laws. Any persons attempting to impede or obstruct their organization, or interfere with them in the discharge of their duties, will be revolutionists or breakers of the peace, as the case may be, and will lie properly treated as such. The general assembly thus organ zed are by tlie constitution empowered to Judge of tlie election aud quid ficutions of theirown members. (Tlie large mu jority on these lisls will undoubtedly be of the minstrel party.) Tlie presiding officer of the senate as above composed aud ascertained will, as providcit by the consiitulinti (article 6, section 19), “during the first weeks of tlie Session open and publish the re turns of election for governor, and other state officers ill presence of tlie members then assembled. The person having the highest number of votes shall be declared 11 .•cted." Th- highest number of what votes? Why, oi course, the highest number of votes so then and there opened and published. There can he no doubt (and we under stand tlie Journal so to admit) that Baxter wji have the highest number of Votes so opened and published, aud will be deeltred elected governor. No special ceremonies a e legally required to iiiiiugur.it-! a governor. All thai will then tie legally reouired to consti tute him governor, w ll be to take tile oath of office, when he will become the constitutional ami legal governor of Arkansas, and be invested with all the executive powers of ill' state, author ized to cull out tlie militia and suspeud the writ of habeas corpus. now, liuxter iieiug inut msiuiicu in office, mi ip we Drunks desires lo contest bin election, huw must he proceed le gally toilo so? There call lie no contest until there is some one Ailing the con tested p'uce whose right is disputed. Iu turning to tlie constitution, we find in article 6, sect on 19, the follow ing: "Contested el etions shall likewise be determined by both houses of the general assembly, in such manlier as is or may hereafter be determined by law." Now, in turning to the statutes, we find provisions for contesting the election of governor, on page 479 of Gould’s Digest, sections ldO, 101, 102, 103, 104 ami 103, which is the only pro vision of existing laws on tlint subject, which Is anfbllnws: "All contested elec tions of governor, except as herein pro vided, shad be decided by the joint vote of both houses of the general as sembly.” Thestutute proceeds to point out the manner of proceeding substan tially as follows: The contestant shall apply to the general assembly by peti tion, setting forth the points of contest and facts he will prove in support of them, and pray fur leave to introduce his proof, and a vote shall be taken in each bouse ou the prayer of such peti tion; that is, on the question whether he ahull have leave to introduce his proofs; and if a majority of both houses are ill favor of tlie petition, they then appoint a committee to investigate and report the fact* to the two houses, ami by joint resolution appoint a day for the meeting of the two houses to decide upon the matter contained in said re port, ou which decision the yeas and nays shall be called and entered ou the journal of each house. i%ow, we nave biiuwh ernor is to be legally installed and de clared elected, and how the office la to be legally contested for. Let us now nee what *wiil be the legal and natural consequences to arise from any forcible means to Install Brooks, as advocated by the Journal. To premise: Hadley la governor until Baxter takes the oath of office, as above shown, when be be comes the legal governor, until legally otherwise declared. By article tJ, sec tion 4, of the constitution, “the gover nor shall be oommauier-in-chief of the the mitary and naval forces of the state, and may call out such forces to execute the laws, suppress Insurrection, repel invasions, or preserve the public penc Article 6, section 6: “It shall he the duty of the governor to see that the law# are faithfully executed.*1 A ad by the act# of 18d8. p. 49. section 13 “In time of war, rebellion, insurrection, Invasion, reactance of civil process, breach or poace or Imminent danger thereof, the governor thail have full power to order Into active service the military force of this state.” Now in case any attempt ahoultj be made forcibly to prevent the organization or interfere with the ao tiou of the legislature as above pointed out, or to thrust Into the office or gover nor any person not entitled thereto by reaxou of the laws and In pursuance of their provisions as before recited. It would clearly be a violation of law, a resistance of civil process, an insurrec tionary and rebellious proceeding, and necessarily accompanied by a breach of the peace -all of which it would be the sworu duty of the government to put down, suppress and control by the ex ecutive |lowers of the state in him vest ed, under the provisions of the consti tution und laws just quoted, by sus pending the writ of habcat corpus and calling out the militia to assist him. And should he be unable, by any of the means Just stated, to euforce the laws, then it would clearly be his duty to avail himself of the provisions of arti- tide 4, section 4 of the constitution of j the United Stales. i ne dunes and powers of the govern or and of the president of the United Stales, under the provisions of that section, can not be better explained than hv quoting from the opinion of Chief-Justice Taney, in the case of Luther vs. Borden, 7 Howard's United States reports, 42. That case was an action of trespass against a militia-man called out by the governor of Rhode island to suppress what Is known as the "Dorr rebellion," which was an at tempt to inaugurate and maintain a government in that state, which was alleged to have been adopted by a ma jority of the legal votes ef the state, but was not adopted in pursuance of the means provided by the then exist ing laws of Rhode Island. The su preme court of the United States says: "Tlie fourth section of the fourth arti cle of the constitution of the United Slates provides that the United States “hall guaranty to every state In the union a republican form of govern ment, and shall protect each of them against invasion; and on the applica cation of the legislature, or of the ex ecutive (when the legislature can not I ie con vened) agai ust domestic violence. Under this article of the constitution it rests witli congress to decide what government Is the established me in a state. For as the United .States guaranty to each state a republican goyernment, congress must necessarily decide what government is established ill ihe state before It can determine whether it is republican or not. And when the senators and rep resentatives of a slate are admitted into tile councils of the union, the au liorily of Ihe government under which :hey are appointed, as well as its re iiiblican character, is recognized by the iroper constitutional authority. And ts decision is binding on every other lepartment of the government, and '"UM not Os questioned in a judicial ill'll mil. So, too, ax relates to [lie clause in the above-mentioned ar ih-lenf the constitution, providing for ■ases of domestic violence. It rested with congress too, to determine upon ilie meanii proper to be adopted to ful fill this guaranty. They might, il hey had deemed it most advisable to lo so, haw placed it in the power of a •ourt to decide wlien the contingency iad liappened which required t lie fed eral government to interfere. But con tress llmught otherwise, and no doubt wisely and by the act of February 28. 1795, provided, that, lu case of an Iii -urrection in any state against the government thereof, it shall be lawful for the president of the United States. hi application of the legislature of -ucli state or of the executive (when ilie legislature can not be convened), to -all forth such liumberof the militia of any other state or states, as may be ap plied for, as he may judge sufficient to suppress such insurrection.’ “By this act the power of deciding whether the exigency had arisen upon which the government of the United S ates is bound to Interfere, is given to -he president. He is to act upon the application of the legislature or of the executive, and consequently he must determine what bod// of men constitute the legislature, and who is governor, be fore liecau act. The fact that both par ties claim the right to government can not alter the case, for both can not be entitled to it. If there is an armed con flict, like the one of which we are speak ing, it is a case of domestic violence, and one of the parties must be in insur rection against the lawful government. And the president must, of necessity, decide which is the government, and which puity Is unlawfully arrayed against it, before he can perform the duty imposed upon him by the act of congress. It is true that in this case the militia were not called out by the president. But upon the application of the goveruor uuder the charter government, the president recognised him as the executive power of the state, and took meas ures to call out the militia to suit port his authority if it should be found necessary for the general government to interfere; and Ills admitted in the argument, that it was the knowledge of this decision that put an end to the armed opposition to the charter govern ment, and prevented any further ef forts to establish by force the proposed constitution. The ipterference of the president therefore, by announcing liis determination, was as effectual as if the militia had been assembled under his orders. And it should be equally au- iimrmuivtj. *u icmm-u i ict of the legislature declaring martial law, it is not necessary In the case be- fore us to iDquire to what extent, nor under what circumstances, that power i may be exercised by a state. Unques tionably, a military government, estab lished as the permanent government of tlie state, would not be a republican government, and it would be the duty of congress to overthrow it. But the law of Rhode Island evidently contem plated no such government. It was in tended merely for the crisis, and to meet the peril in which the existing government was placed by the armed resistant* to its authority. It was so understood and construed by the state authorities. And unquestionably a stale may use Its mditary power to put down an armed Insur rection too strong to be controlled by the civil authority. The power is essential to the existence of every government. The state Itself must de termine whatiiegreeof force thecrisis de mands, and if the govern meutof Rhode Island deemed the armed opposition so formidable and so ramified through out thoslate as to require the use of its military force and the declaration of martial law, we me no grounds upon which tills court can question Itsauthor ity. It was a state of war, and the es tablished government resorted to the righ i and tinges of war to maintain itself aud to overcome the unlawful op I ositInn. And itit hat stateof things the officers engaged In its military service might lawfully arrest any onc u-Ao, from the Information before them, they had reasonable grounds to believe, wu on paged in the insurrection, and might order a house to be forcibly entered and searched when there were reasonable grounds for supposing he might be there concealed. Without the pow er to do this, martial law and the mili tary array of the government would be mere parade, and rather encourage at tack than repel It." It will be recollected from the history of Rhode Island that Thomas W. Dorr, the pretended goveruorof Rhode Island, was tried for treason by the courts of his own state, convicted and sentenced to the penitentiary for life, where ho remained many years; and that many others were tried, convicted and pun ished for participation In Dorr’s pro tended government; and that Dorr In vain applied to the supreme court of the United rttatea for a writ of habeat cor pus to release him from priaon. Let those who propose revolution and force look well to the end before they make a beginning, bearing In mind that the authority to establish martial law draws with it the right to try offenders dur ing Its Continuance by martial tribu nals. Practical Suggestions Wanted. From the St. Louts Globe.] It Is astonishing how economically our government could ho administered by those whom the people prefer to en trust with the duty of staying at home ami criticising. No sooner are the esti mates out than all the amateur admin istrators whoeditablejournals through out the country proceed to show how much less money ought to run the con cern. Rach one selects what seems to him to be the weak point, the needless waste, and explains to his own full sat isfaction, If to that of no one else, that if a mistaken constituency had adopted his views, this waste might have been avoided. One maintains that the only navy we want is five or six revenue outters to look after smugglers. An other is of the opinion that we need no greater army than five or six regiments of dragoons to keep tliu Indians in order. The great majority clearly inti mate that republican simplicity can be displayed bint by keeping the White House shabby, and the executive de partment on half-rations and when it comes to the interest on the public debt, there is never a mother's son of them who doesn't take off his coat and spit on his hands, and take hold of tlial monstrous Item of expenditure, ami give it such a shaking that we wonder at the bloated bondholders retaining their courage, and at the public credit refusing to be at all diminished or im paired. They forget all about the puhliceredit, they forget all about theexigency which i ‘rested the debt—(no wonder they pa~s I quickly over such dangerous ground); they rush back to the days of Jackson, I of Adams, of any body who did um have all the consequences of the w ar to j hear, and they wander confusedly and vaguely through a muddle of words of I which the meaning is not clear, but of which the intention is to carry1 an 1m- j pression of the general wickedness of republicanism. Much stuff ns that is not only poor writing-and dull reading I bur it strengthens the impression among the republicans that no efficient aid in managing the affairs of tlie country is to he had from the opposition. We can utt- i lerstand and appreciate a suggestion that tlie carrying of tile mails should lie abandoned bv the government, or I hat a war with Spain is not too high apriee to pay for the acquisition of Cuba. These ire definite, practical propositions, and Lite expression of them is of value as xmtrihuting to the formation of public lpinlon, as enabling the best friends of the country, irrespective of party, to understand what the people really think and desire with regard to each question as it arises. Reconciliation, and ppace, and good will, and harmony, etc., are words which can be used without meaning, file country is sick and tired of pro testations. What it wants Is a clear expression of views which are practi cable, or at least desirable. Let us have more of that and less of unmeaning Sicking against the pricks. A Washington Sensation. From the Capita!.] The social life of Washington In agl ated by the rumor of a lawsuit hrew ng. wherein a Kay, dashing widower, »fler winning the affections of a young ady, hail the day agreed upon atid the rou-seau purchased, suddenly turned jp with a wife that he had married in iti adjoining city. The niortideation if the young lady—an official, by the ive—was made more painful by the publication that he had been given the iffair. Not only had the day been fixed, out, as we have said, the trousseau ob tained and the guests Invited. Her uortifleation is somewhat modified by earning from general rumor that the poor girl is not alone. This gay de liver, it seems, flung his promises, If not his affections, about in tlie most promiscuous manner. It lias been sug fested that the sufferers hold an indig nation meeting and resolve. There is treat comfort in your resolutions. But :he suit for breach of promise is more mhstantial, and generally ends in Pringing upon the head of the offender the wrath, contempt, and indignation if the virtuous community, tosaynoth Ing of damages that will be assessed. Tile defendant in these cases has gen erally two suita—one with his wife and the other with the disappointed. The wife is generally very much disappo nt ed, then indignant—a storm arises. What! this late lover of hers, now her loving husband, to be in such a scrape! frilling with other women's affections —has he not been trifling with hers? But tlie storm dies out, and the wife from being an angry enemy becomes an active ally. One can imagine the poor devil of a husband pleading piteously with his better half, by law and the sanction of the church, and then goiug exhausted Into court to fight that other fair one who cannot be captured. Mr. and Mrs. Greeley’s Wills. From the New York Herakt, 3d.)

New Oki.eans, December 9.—The fusion meralitrs of the legislature have assembled at Lyceum ball. They were in caucus this morning. Kach member as he passed In was served by the depu ty United Slates marshal with a copy of Durrell's restraining order. The Mechanics’ institute is still in charge of the military. Sentluels guard the doors of the state officers. Members of the legislature, recognized by the custom-house board, reporters and po litical friends were admitted. Congress man Durrell and ez-Mayor Flanders were also on the floor of the house. Both sides claim a quorum In the house. The senate is doubtful. Viggers, the old clerk of the house, whose duty it Is to call the r ,11, Vas ar rested yesterday by the deputy United States marshal, aud has since been held a prisonerat Mechanics’Institute. This move was made to prevent him from calling the conservative house. Both houses of the Mechanics’ insti tute legislature organized, and a joint committee appointed to Inform the gov ernor. C. W. Lowell was elected speaker of the house by acclamation. The holding-over senators entered a written protest against the manner In which the senate had been organized, which is being discussed.

Phillips, associated with Ogden, said It was a proper case for a writ. Judge Wilbur asked how It could be a proper case when the constitution expressly pro vided that a case wherein a citizen was a party shall not be a case fonita Issu ance. The court took the matter under advisement. End of the Crisis lu France. Paris, December 9.—The appoint ment of Goulard minister of the inte rior, Leon Say minister of flnance, Fourteln minister of public works, f'al inont prefect of the department of the Seine, is otBcially published, and though the ministry is regarded as transitional, the above appointment# indicate the termination of the crisis, and secures to the government the sup port of the right center and left oenter. CONDENSED DISPATCHES. Samuel N. Pike, one of the wealthiest citizen* of Cincinnati, is dead. The New York Express was Issued as usual, notwithstanding Its great loss by fire Sunday night. Ten young men of Columbia, Ind., who formed a club, drew the capital price in the Louisville lottery. A terrible gale swept over England j Sunday, destroying a vast apiouut of; shipping and property. Many lives were lost, N. H. Brained, postmaster of Iowa City, has been arrested on a charge of perjury and embezzlement, on the af fidavit of one of his clerks. The president to-day seut a number of nominations to the senate, among them that of Wm. P. Dewey, of Wis consin, for surveyor-general of Dakota. The steamer Frank Grace, rroni Mem phis to Cincinnati, with four hundred bale* of cotton, sunk In the Ohio river i Sunday night. She was valued at j $15,000; insured for $10,000. The steamer Thomas H. Allen sunk five miles above Devalla Bluii', Sunday night, to the hurricane roof. The sec ond cook and pastry cook were drowned. She will probably be raised. No Insurance. A Herald's Washington special says the Credlt-Mobilier Investigation will show that several congressmen accepted enormous dividends from that coucern. which they devoted to charitable and political purposes; but they will show that they were not identified with tho management or legislation for it.

Mr. Brooks has been fairly de feated, giving him all he claims, and the people will abide the result. 1*01.1 run I> LuriMAiTA, Wc have as yet said nothing of the condition of politics in Louisiana, wait ing fer the muddy waters to subside, now they seem to be settling so that the bottom can he seen. Governor Wartnolh is one of the ablest and most unscrupulous men thut this country ever knew, and his career lias been a most remarkable one. Coming to Lou isiana a poor man, he has been not only the ruling spirit iu its political afiairs, but lias acquired great riches. In his position as govornor of Louisiana he had great power, and be exercised it without hesitation to carry his ends. He was accused by the democrats of having transcended his authority on many occasions, and he Anally came into collision witli the administration by tlie exercise of the cxiraordinary powers lie claimed, and which be was using to aggrandize himself at the ex pense of the republican party. Whenever Oov. Warmoih put him self Into opposition to the regular re publican party, which had raised him to eminence, the democrats, as is cus tomary with them, took him up, and though it was well known ttiat he was as corrupt as any man of the age, they coalesced with him and promised to send him to the Uuited States senate, if, tlirouirli his power as governor, he would turnover the state administra tion to them. Warmoth made the trade, and as a guaranty of his good faith went to the Cincinnati convention and became a prominent actor iu the farce there enacted in the first week of May. W hen the state campaign commenced Wannoth and the democrats were united In opposition to the regular republican ticket, headed by Senator Kellogg. It Is well known that the re publicans have a large majority of the votes in Louisiana if they were fairly counted. Under the election laws of that state an election board, composed of the governor, secretary of state and some ottier olllclals, had charge of the election returns; a mujority of this board were republicans, and they de termined that a fair count should lie made. Knowing tills, Governor War moth removed them from office, with out cause, and tilled their places with some of Ids creatures who would return any one elected that he directed. The republicans, under Kellogg, brought suit against Wannoth in the United States district court, aud Judge Durreil decided in their favor, and Uovemor Wannoth, having refused to obey the order of the court, Judge Dnrrell has issued an order to the United States marshall to take possession of the stale house and offices, aud hold them until further orders. This has been done, and United States troops are now In P'wsessiou of Mechauica institute (the state-house), aud their is a fair proba bility that tlie Louisiana "muddle” will he adjudicated iu courts of compe tent Jurisdiction. We have no doubt that the republicans have carried Loui siana by a large majority, and that such will be the verdict, in which event Wannoth, like other political traitors, will retire to weli-merit-d obscurity. "TniKVESabound in Helena,” so says the Uazelte. We have known all ttie time they were quite plentiful iu a place similar in name to the above, but of lute have found them so thick in Arkansas that we deemed it unnecessa ry to mentiou lire fact.—[Southwestern Republican. The place, so delicately alluded to, must have lost a first cluss artist in the thieving line when Casey came to Ar kansas. TllP. chairman of the national liber. 1 committee says, It is yet too soon to determine as to the future of the parly.” If parties are like men when they die. the liberal party “in the future” will have more need for ice than for over coats.

DAILY REPUBLICAN. OFFICIAL JOURNAL OF THE STATE; TUESDAY. DECEMBER 10, 1872. OXE BY OSK. One bv one the sands are flowing. One by one tlie moments fall; Some are coming, some are going. Do not strive to grasp them all. One by one thy duties wait thee, Let thy whole strength go to each: Let no future dreams elate thee, Learn thou first what these can tench. One by one, bright gifts of heaven, Joys are sent thee here b~low; Take them readily when given— Heady too to let them go. One by one thy griefs shall meet thee Do not tear an armed band; One will fade while others greet thee shadows passing through the land. Do not look at life’s long sorrow, nee how small each moment's’pain’ Ood will help thee for to-morrow— Every day begin again. Every hour that fleets so slowly. Has its task to do or bear; Luminous the crown, and holy If thou set each gem with care. Do not linger with regretting, Or for passion’s hour despond* Nor, the daily toll forget!l».g. Look too eagerly beyond.

Hours are golden links, God’s token Reaching heaven but one by one Take them, lest the chain be broken Ere the pilgrimage be done. A Plajed-out Comet. From tb6 St. Louis Democrat What was once known as Biela’a cometis uo longer visible in its come tary form, and whether it lias wandered off upon a new track or vanished into thin air, has long been a question with astronomers. There resides at Bloom* lngton, Ind., a gentlemen who forsome years has held the chair of natural sciences in the state university located at that place. Outside of scientific cir cles his name is rarely heard, but there is not an astronomer of note In the civ ilized world who has not learned to honor his genius and respect hisopiu ions. The Mate of Indiana disgraces itself by failing to provide him with the means of taking personal observations, although it may bedoublful if his appro priate labors do not 1 ie in the use ami gen-, eralizatiou of the facts ascertained by others,rather than in the field of original" observation. Mr. Proctor, of the Royal Astronomical society of Great Britain whose works have a world-wide fame! calls Prof. Kirkwood the “Kepler of the day,” and acknowledges that many of the most intricate questions that have engaged the minds of modern as tronomers have been satisfactorily solved by him. He has the rare faculty, l possessed in a remarkable degree by Kepler, for discerning the relation’s and meaning of celestial phenomena, and constructing therefrom compre hensive and satisfactory theories. The periodic fall of meteors in August and November has been a subject of dili gent study for scientific men for many years, and it lias come to be under stood as the settled theory that these meteors are thedisintegraled fragments of comets that once made the immense circuits now traversed by these minute particles. Several years ago Prof. Kirk wood published n work on meteoric astronomy, in which lie predicted that a remarkable meteoric display would occur in the last days of November, that being the time at which the earth crosses the orbit of Biela's comet. On the night of the 27th ult., careful ob servers in different parts of the country witnessed a grand exhibition of fall ing stars,” and our exchanges contain full accounts of the display as seen by Prof. Newton, at Yale college, and elsewhere. We decidedly approve of this method of getting rid of comets, and if the oth ers adopt the method pursued by Biela’s, we shall see them all finished in the course of a few centuries, with out hurting any body. It is much bet ter for them to be distributing them selves in gentle meteoric showers among the planets of the solar system than to pounce upon one of them and knock it out of time without a mo ment’s warning. A Historic Meeting. From the New York Herald, 28th ult.J Senator Wilson was in the city yes terday. He called on all his old friends, and then started to go down town. At Canal street he got into an omnibus. A gentleman who sat next to the door assisted him in getting in. Senator Wilson did not know at first who it was, when he suddenly heard a voice: "Hallo, Wilson!” It was the gentleman who had helped him in. Senator Wilson looked at him, and, beaming in a smile, suid "Halls, Sumner!” The two friends shook hands cor dially. "Well, I declare, this is a surprise,” said the uext vice-president. “Well, old boy, how are you?” the eloquent chatnpiou of Horace Greeley asked. “I'm very well, old boy; how are you?" Senator Wilson returned, still shaking his friend's hand. Senator Sumner said he was pretty well; indeed he was very well. His health had greatly improved. "Yes, you look a good deal better,” Senator Wtlsou said, delighted; "the trip to Europe has doue you good. You look a great deal better. And now tell me all about Europe.” Senator Sumner told him every thing—every thing he had told the Herald reporter the day before. At the city hall the two friends got out and went to the Tribune office, where they had another good, long talk. Both were delighted to see each other, and, not a word referring to politics or the presidential election was spoken. When they had parted, Senator Wil son went to the Astor house, where he met a re|xirter of the Herald, and par took of some beef-hrotli ami apple pud ding. Senator Wilson was in very good humor, and talked freeley to the reporter. Among other things he said that the senate had more men of ability now than if had at the time of Webster, Clay and Calhoun. Speaking of the future of the country, he said that Can ada would belong to the United States before tilts generation had passed away; that probably several of the northern provinces of Mexico woultl come to us too,” and that we would have a con trolling influence in the West Indies.” I think,” said Senator Wilson, that this country will yet contain a popula tion larger thati Euroite.” The Mayor of YYjand»tte, Mirh., Elopes with a Young Girl. From the Detroit Free Pre?*, November 28.] Thomas Jewell, of Wyandotte, w*as always considered a Jewel of a citizen, and since last spriug lias tilled the office of mayor to every body's satisfac tion. He is a man of temperate habits, was looked upon as a Christian and had the full confidence of his felloW-towns men. Living in the same village was ayoung lady of eighteen, named Collen, who is possed of considerable property, and had upward of $4,000 iu the bank. No one had ever observed that Miss Collen aud the mayor had any thing further than a speaking acquaintance, hut it is now charged that he betrayed her, and that they have been on terms of close Intimacy for a year past. The mayor has a wife and six children, which fact prevented any suspicion. Miss Collen drew her money from the bank the other day and left for Detroit, to make some purchases. The next train coming this way brought the mayor, who excused his absence from home on the plea of business. It wat not known for a day or two that the two had planned an elopement, bj* they are known to have met here, to Md*J'l£!Sded5wt 83 mauanJ wife, somewhere in Xew England tiAoe’i w rt le'? ,"Tr 88 all the parties stand niKh In society. The friends of the girl propose to arrest Jewell if they can trace him. An Anecdote of Vice-President Colfax.

Livingstone, from communications given to him by uip groea and Arab travelers, has b urned that lake Victoria Nyanza consists of five lakes, the lake Nyanza proper and four smaller ones as well. l,t I dare say that Livingstone's infor mation i.s com^.Jiqyuuse it was rather a hasty conclusion that Oapt.

He hastened tote* Sir Roderick Murchison, and stated his belief to him in his own enthusiastic way. lie said. t mil nuit'iiiiii i uiM'uvrmi i lit* source of the Nile.” Sir Roderick Murchison, not a whit Jess enthusiastic than Hpeke, said to the Geographical society, “We must semi him right hack again.” Well, Speke, having the true instincts of a traveler, was prepared for this, and so he immediately started hack again, this time with Grant, and taking will* hijil fcgmut r>|\*ome 000 plaeed at his disposal.
