Concealed Weapons. It is with much gratification that we find from our exchanges that tho law against carrying concealed wea, pons, is getting stronger, as it grows older, by its being rigidly enforced. We heartily unito with others in call ing, not only upon Trial Justices and every cificor of the law, but upon every good oitizon-every man who prefers law to licentious liberty to see that the law is observed.

Every build.. in Pass Mancha was overturned; five hundred blocks of the city of New Orleans wore submerged by the over flow of water from the lake, and the dostituto inhabitants wore depending upon the charity ot their more for, tunato neighbors for food and shelter. If the Democrats maintain the ors ganization of the next Senate it is now understood that Senator Davis, of Illinois, will be given the Chairman ship of the Committee on the Judi ciary. Three Democratic donators who will be in the next Senate are a bovo Senator Davib on the lidt of the Judiciary Committee, and wvould, therefore, under the ruleof promotion be entitled to the Chairmanship bofore the claims of the Senator from illinois would be considered. Those are Messrs. Bayard, Garland, and Lamar, but all three of them have chairman ships5 that, it is said, they are willing to retain), and thus leave the wt~y op. en for Senator Davis to become chair man on the Judiciary Committee. Mr. Bayard prefers to remain at the head of the Financo Committee, Mr. Lamar is satisfied with railroads, and Mr.Garland with territories. One of the ambitions of Senator Davis, of Ill, inois, is to becomo Chairman of the Judiciary Committeo.

EITOR: There were assembled at the residenee of Rtev. W. B. Single.. ton on the 20th January 1881, by his request, all of hi. brobbors now living, and their wives, and all of his sisters and their husbands. Also all of his wife's brothers and their wives, there being 9 of his including himsefi, and 10 of hors, including hersefl, but there was one of hers absent, and four of his on account of sickness or other wise. Also there wore all of his sons in-law and their families and his fam ily present, making in all 52 prosent for the purpose of celebrating his 60th birth day, which was the 28th and his wife's the 30th, and also Rev. J. C. Singleton's birth day the 27th, who was present from Dixon, Ga. There were throo preachers of the Singleton family, and the entire as sombly aro professors and members of a Christian church, either Baptist or Methodist, who have come to the years of maturity, and there were only two persons present except the near relatives, one a very worthy preach er, the other a respectable young teacher, professor and church mem, bor. There was the singing of some choice pieces of music and perform. anee on the organ, which carried all minds back to their youthful days. Bringing to remembrance the Inther and grand fathers of the Rev. W. B. Singleton and wife, being strict old fashioned Methodists and Presbyte rians who endeavored to give their children good instructions. But the present generation are principally Baptist, notwithstanding all seem to be striving to enter in at the straight gate, and while all was passing off so delightfully dinner time came and there was a bountiful supply of good things for all and plenty left. All seemed to be in perfect harmony and each trying to make each other hap' py. Even the little children had their pleasure without a wrangle and, all was quiet and well ordered, and while it is not expected that they wvill all over meet again in this world, it is hoped all may meet on the' banks of final deliverance. OBSERVER. Ma. JAB. T. BURDINE,doar Brother, I noticed in your last article that you wished to hear from me, when I should be able to get proof from the Serip,. Lures to queries No. 1 and 2, and your questions. 1st. Why do churces ordain min, isters? Mat. 28 chap. 10 V. "Go yc therefore and teach all nations, baps tizing them in the name of the Fat hor', and of the Son, and of tho Iholy Ghost:" and as Christ chose and or dainod his disciples to preach the Gos pol and to baptize; so the church ors dains them for the anamo purposo; and the church that has p~ower to Met apart a man, and onll a presbytory and ordain him, has tho power'i, if he walks disorderly, or teachcs doc tri ne that is not according to the toaching of Christ, to stop him from preaching. 1. Tim. 6 chap. 3-5. "If any man tench otherwise and consent not to wholesome words, even the words of our Lord Jesus Christ, and to the doe trine wvhich is according to godliness, from such withdraw thyself.'' 2d. The power of' ministers. Mat. 10 chap. 1 v. "And when ho had called unto him his twelve disciples, he gave them power against unclean spirits, to cast thorn out and to heal all manner of sickness and all manner of diseases. We find that the minis., ter had power to do great wonders and miracles, and we find that Ste phon had power, and did great won dors and miracles and ho was only a deacon; so we find that ministers were not all that received power from Christ our great Ruler. I. Peter 5 chap. 2-83 v. "Feed the flock of God which is among you taking the over sight thereof not by constraint, but willingly; not for filthy luero, but of a ready mind; neither as being lords over God's heritage, but being examp-. les to the flock." We understand by this that they are to feed them on the Gospel of truth, anid that they are not to rule thoem, but to be an example to the church. I could give you more scrip ture on the subject, but space will not permit. JOHN ED. GIELESPIE. Senator Hamlin did not wear an overooa t during the oold snap. Neither did Represenative TilIlman.

[SPECIAL CORR2sPONDENOu OF TBN SUNTINRL) WASizxntof, Feb. 7, 1881. Owing to the opposition manifested in the Senato, as well as outside influ.. ence, it is rumored to day that Mr. Hayes will withdraw the nomination of Stanley Matthows for Associate Justice, and substitute that of Attor,% noy General Devens. Mr. Hayes is of the opinion, whether well grounded or not, that the Judiciary committee is inclined to make no report during the present session, on Matthews no mination, or if reported at all, an ad-. verse one. Ho is very anxious to have at least one Justico confirmed before his term expires, hence, the rumored withdrawal of Matthews. Senator Pendleton's bill providing that the heads of the Executive de partments of the Government may occupy seats in Congress, has receiv od the nearly unarimous endorsement and approval of the select committee to which it was referred. For a year or more past this committee have been carefully studying the subject, and the report they have submitted, recommeiding the passage of the measure is signed by Senator Pendle ton, Voor-hees, Butler, Ingalls, Blaine, Farley, Platt and Allison-four Re publicans and four Democrats. The report maintains that Congress has the constitutional power to pass this bill; that the head of a Department reporting in person or orally to Uons gross upon matters relating to his Do. partment becomes no more a Member of Congress "than does the chaplain, or a contestant or his counsel, or a delegate."1 This is.not a now ques tion, as the committee show that in 1789 the Secretary of Foreign Affairs, Mr. Jefferson "attended (in Congress) agreeably to order and made the ne cessary exlainations:'' that in the same year the President of the United States, attended by Gen. Knox, So cretary of War, entered the Senate while in executive session and laid before the Sonate a statement of' facts; that up)on two other occasions in 1780 the Secretary of War entorod the Ilouse during its 6ssions and deliver,. od certain paperM, "togetibor with statements of troops4 in ser'vice," &C. The committee state that instances of this kind cou'd bo indef~initely multi-. plied. Tfhe report, con tains an able argument in support of thu bill. TIus nienasuire will be caLlled up thuis week fo)r action, ul it is 1 understood that, besides Sonator Ponudlet on, Mr. B nine aind other Senators will sapeak in it~s behalf. The report of' the select comnmittee of the'ILousie, on inter-oceanic caunal,&k as adopted by a vote of fivo to fouur. in favor of the shi Ip rail way project of Capt. IEadM, will not be queIstione~d by the .lluse0, aIlhough~ the ruinor was curront on Sat~uurdaiy that somne absent memnber' of thbe commnittco desired, by voting in the negativo, to cause a tie. The bill, which by it~s title is "to in corporato tho Inter-oceanic Transit Company" authorizos the issue of stock to the amoun t of $70,000,000, and gives the guarantceo of the gov,. ernment for fiteen years after the rail way is cornplted,f'or the payment of' semi-annual dividends of not loss thban threo per cent on $50,000,000 of' stock. This guarantee, however, is not to take effect until the entire practica,. bility of the railway shall be demon. strated by transporting a loaded vos. sel, weighing with her cargo at least 2,000 tons, at not loss than six miles ain hour. The bill also provides for a test of the railway by a board of en-. gineers appointed by the President, whenu ten miles have been complete~d, and if successfully made, the guaran too of the United States to the ex-. tent of $5,000,000 shall at once attach and a fur'ther test as each ten miles are constructed, the test for the next five sections being increased to trans porting a vessel weighing 2,500 tons, ur,til the final test, which shall be the transportation of a ship weighing 4,s. 000 tons. The guarantee of the gov, ernent to ain additional *5,000,000 is to attach upon successful exper' ment up to the. maximum of $50,000,-. 000. CORIDWAINYa.
