BAMA, January 9 ?Messrs. Albright
and Buck her,ot the Alabama investi?
gating committee, yesterday ooucladed
a four days' investigation at this place.
Many witnesses wore examined. The
killing ol Billings and Ivy aud the
whipping of: the negro Nelson Doyle
were proved. There waB no proof
oouneotiqg those acts .with political
motives. It was proven that the Tork
land riot originated in strife between
negroes respecting the distribution of
Government bacon. Attempts to quell
the diatdrbanoe.resulted in a combina?
tion of the negroes agaiust the whites,
and an attack by the former, who
subsequently transferred tbeir opera?
tions to the adjacent Belment neigh?
borhood, ucrosa the river, aud in this
County, where tbo armed demonstra?
tion was suppressed I by the civil au?
thorities without bloodshed. The re?
ported outrages iu Oboctaw proved
mere inventions. It was proven that
in this County, the United States au?
thorities - made arrests, seized horses
and carried - away private property
without warrant. Tho oarao authori?
ties took','possession of tho County
jail. A colored Democrat Was arrested
without? warrant, imprisoned, and
subsequently, discharged without ex?
amination. . While imprisoned tbe
military guard, threatened to ahoot
him if he did hot famish information
which he ? could. not give. It was in,
proof that Bob Reed deolared he
would carry Sumtur County, or ride
chin deeptu blood. I*i refutation of
the charges of intimidation of Repub?
lican voters, it was proved that in the
last elestiOD, the Republican vote in
this Ooaoiy waB increased thirty-three
per cGtit. over, Grant's' v?te in 1872
This was sustained by offioial returns.

RiOHjfoso, Va , January 9.?Tbe
following resolutions were introduced
in tbe State Souuto:
Unsolved, by the General Assembly
of the Commonwealth of Virginia,
That the Governors of tbe States com?
posing the United States of America
be, and tbey are hereby, earnestly re?
quested to convene as soon as practi?
cable the Legislatures of tbeir respec?

may equeult together, and advise with

ference of the army of tbe United

the independence of the States.
Resolved, That tbe Governor of this
commonwealth be, and bs is hereby,
reqaeeted forthwith to telegraph tbe*e
resolutions to the Governors of the
several States, and request immediate
replies.
An animated and prolonged discus
Bion ensued, in which a spirit of mo?
deration predominated. Many Sena?
tors opposed Virginia taking the ini?
tiatory movement as a State in this
grave matter. It was tho general
opinion, however, that Virginia shonld
give au expression of her sentiments
through her Legislature in the form of
a protest against the aotion of the Gen?
eral Government in relation to Louisi?
ana, and an appeal to the American
people for redress; and also to express
tbe deep and lasting sympathy of the
people of Virginia with the peoplo of
tbeir. sister State of Louisiana. At the
conclusion of the diuoussiou, the whole
matter was laid over, end made tbe

State irc Ntf
Speaker WiltZ dulled at tbe bureau of
tbo Herald, on tbe 4th in.St., and made
tbe following statement: L*at evening,
0 committee was- sen* to the State
Hocse to ask for a room for tbe pur
pose of holding a Conservative oauous
this morning, at 9 o'clock. Tbe re?
quest was granted at 1? o'clock A. M.
The oauous was held at hall-past 11,
tho Conservatives proceeding to the
House in a body. At noon, the old
CKerk of the House, Mr. Vigors, called
the roll, and 102 members answered. I
considered that tho formalities of law
had been complied with and the or
ganizitton rested with the majority.
A motion was made aud carried that I
be declured Speaker pro lam. of the
House. Thereupon I took the chuir,
until then occupied by the Clerk I
theo nailed upon Judge Houstou, a
Justice of the Peaoe, who swore me in.
The members wore then sworn in by
me. A motion was then made and
carried to elect a temporary Clerk aud
a temporary Sergeantat-Arins. A reso?
lution was then offered to seat the five
Conservative members whose cases
were not passed upon by tbe Returning
board. The resolution was adopted,
and the five members wero sworn in
and took their seats.
Tbe House then proceeded to a per?
manent organization. Governor Habo
and myself wore nominated for Speak?
ers. A call of tbe roll was ordered,
and fifty-five votes were oast for me
and two were oast for Hahn. I voted
blank, making iu all fifty-eight votes,
fifty-six being a quorum. I was then
declared elected permauunt Speaker of
1 tbe House. The temporary Clerk was
then eleoted permauent Clerk, aud the
temporary Serguaut-ai-Arms perma
I uent Sergeant-at-Arms. I then an
! noouoed tbe House permanently or?
ganized. A motion was made aud car?
ried to appoint a committee of seven
on credentials, eleotiou aud returus.
During that time some of the. Republi?
can members withdrew. Tbe commit?
tee appointed consisted of live Con?
servatives and two Republicaus. Tue
committee asked for aud obtained per?
mission to withdraw for deliberation.
An attempt was now made by some
Republican members to leave the hall.
I then ordered the Sergeant-at-Arms
to prevent them. This caused consi?
derable ooufusioo iu tbe lobby, tilled
with Metropolitan Police aud Radicals,
admission to most of our Sergeant-at
Arms having been previously denied
by Hugh J. Campbell, General of Kel
logg's militia. I tboa ordered the
Sergeuut-ut-Arms to dear the lob?
by, which was doue. We were
then waiting for the report
of the Committee on Credentials, a
quorum of the members being pre?
sent, when General DeTrobriaud en?
tered the hall and informed me that
he had received instructions from Go?
vernor Kellogg to the effect that the
House of Representatives was iu pos?
session ot a mob, and desired bim to
clear tbe Hou?e of all persons who
were not returned by the Wells Re?
turning Board. I asked that the docu?
ment be read, and be offered it to
Vigors, whom he said he was instruct?
ed by Governor Kellogg to reoognize
as Clerk. I refused to reooguize Mr.
Vigers as Clerk of the House, and pro?
tested against the reading of any docu?
ment by Vigers. The General then
had the document read by his adju?
tant, who aooompanied him. The
Clerk of the House and myself de?
clined to point out tbe members who
had been seated by order of tho House.
The General withdrew, after applying
to Vigers, who was either unwilling or
unable to point them out. General
DeTrobriaud returned shortly, in'
company with General Campbell, who
pointed them out. Previous to the
appearance of General DeTrobriaud,
the Committee on Credentials had re?
ported, end eight contestants (all Con?
servatives) had been seated by the
House.
When General DeTrobriaud at?
tempted to eject Mr. Vaughn, from
Caddo, Mr. Vaughn protested. I di?
rected Mr. Vaughn not to allow him?
self to be ejected exoeptat tbe point of
the bayonet. General DeTrobriaud
than oalled upon soldiers drawn up in
Hue in the lobby of tbe House, with
bayonets fixed, und, between a file of
soldiers, Mr. Vaughn was marched out
of the House, and successively, in tbe
same manner, esoh member who bad
been seated by order of tbe Houso was
marched out, eaoh member protesting
and asking that his protest be placed
on the journal. Immediately there?
after, the General approached me und
inlormed me that, in obedience to bis
orders from Governor Kellogg, bo
would have the roll oalled by Vigers.
1 again protested against the execution
of suoh an order, satisfied that the
House being organized, the Governor
could not call upon the Federal
troops.
General DeTrobriand ordered tho
roll oalled. Vigers was about to call
the roll, when I ordered my Sergeaut
at-Arms to eject Mr. Vigers, which
order was obeyed. Tho General there?
upon oalled iu a file of soldiers, and,
surrounding the Clerk, the roll was
again about being oalled by him. I
again protested in positive language,
aud gave notioe that I would withdraw
and ask tho members not to participate
in any fnrther prooeedinga of the
Honae nndor Fad Aral hayrti???? ? T
the Conservative members oi toe
House then withdrew. I deoiro, in
addition, to state that ray object in
organising tbe House in the manner I
did had several legislativ? precedents.
The whole prooeedinga. were copied
from the journal of the Radical Legis?
lature of 1868, of which X was a mem*
ber, the legality of which was after?
ward, substantiated by all tbo Courts
of oot-Stato. |,i in

Tsb CJoht of Living?-~T?q late issue
bf the Massachusetts Labor ' Beport
gives the followiug interesting sta?
tistics in regard to the comparative
cost of living in America aud Europe:
One dollar will buy twenty pounds of
flour in Boston, ono or two pounds
more in several European seaports,
but the same or considerably less in a
majority of the places compared. In
Boston one dollar will buy a little ovor
five-aud-a-half pounds of fresb beef,
roasting piece. Iu no ploce iu Eng?
land will it buy no much by a pound or
more, and in Europe still less?(Jo
peubaguu being tboonly place given
wbere it will buy more. Butter iu En
rope averages a pound more to a dollar
than here, cheese less by more than
that, except iu a few spots. As for
potatoes they are cheaper hero than in
England, aud dearer thau in Ireland
or Germany. Seven or eight pounds
of pork for a dollar are sold hero, and
not mnoh ovec half as much can be
obtalued for that sum iu England or
Europe, and nowhere as much. In
rice, milk and eggs they have the ad?
vantage of us. Tea costs less here than
iu Euglaud, but more thuu on the con?
tinent. With coffee it is about the
same, though the difference is little.
In sogar, the British are a little better
off, the ooutineutals a good deal worse.
Coal is cheaper here than in Germany,
und dearer than in England. Merri
mao or common prints are oheaper
here than anywhere in England or
Europe. Boots are about the same
hero as there, generally speaking.
There are but two or three places in
England or tbecontiuent where brown
uheutiugs are cheaper than here, while
iu brown shirtings the foreigners are
better off. Bent for four-roomed tene
meuta is from two to four times
cheaper iu Great Britain and ou the
ooutineut thau iu Bostou; iu Austria,
fiftoou times cheaper. Board nleo is
from once uud-a-balf to twice as cheap
iu Europe uud Great Britain us in
Boston. These comparisons of prices
will apply to Columbia and other
Amorican cities as well as to Boston,
uud show that the working-man can
live better on the same meuns almost
auy where iu this country than he can
iu Great Britain, as well as many other
parts of Europe. Laborers may aud
tlo live on less money expenditure in
Europe than iu this country, but do
not live nearly so well as tbey do here.
Good moat is a luxury with most
working people in Europe.
Sauce for the Goose Not Satjck
fom the Gander ?The New York
Times says: "It will be remembered
that the admission of rive members,
who had not been returned by the Bo
turning Board, was made the basin for
the military order to clear the Bouse,
and that those fire members wero put
out at the point of the bayonet. It
now transpires that the Republicans,
8inoe the retirement of the Democrats,
having only fifty-one members with
certificates, have admitted three mem?
bers who occupied preoisely the same
position as the five gentlemen who
were ejected. They are two Badicals
from De Soto and one from Grant
Parish. The question arises, why
don't the militury again interpose and
put those men out, us tbey did the five
Democrats?"

Moody, of No w'Orleauni t#hb died ?re?
cently by Mh o*n baud, wbjlo coffer?
ing from-an intolerable neuralgic at?
tack, was a singular man. He pros
pored when Louisiana was wealthy
and he prospered when Louisiana was
as poor as a rat. The eecret of his
oontiuned success was advertising.
He kuew bow to advertise, and the
duller the season the more persistently
he kept himself and bis wares before
the public Ho was known a* the
"Shirt King of the South-west." On
every dead wall aod on every tele?
graph pole, in the Mississippi valley,
tho wayfarer was invited "to get hia
shirts at 8. N. Moody's." He waa a
moat liberal patron of the daily press,
aud, by a thousand ingeniooB devices,
and in spite of tremendoas opposition,
he died as he lived, the enper-eminent
and pluperfoot "King of Shirts."
Such was hia faith in tbe necessity of
captivating the fancy of the people
and winning their attention, that it
was seriously declared in New Orleans,
years ago, he offered ?50,000 to help
pay for a new steamboat intended for
the St. Louis trade, provided he bad
the naming of the craft. Hie offer
was promptly accepted, bat almost at
suddenly declined, when it became
known that "Get Your Shirts at
Moody's" wus to be the baptismal ap?
pellation! Col. Moody was? thorough
business man, but bs lived ia elegance
and had many warm friends. It may
not be a very sublime ambition to
secure a sort of immortality in connec?
tion with tbe neither garment of a
man; but out of that oommop and
not-to-be despised article of wear,
Moody became a rich tnerohant, lived
en prince, and gave hia children afirat
class edncatioo, backed op by all tUe
advantages of foreign travel. His
money was principally made by ad
vertisiug, and, while we feel oorry to
hear of the tragic ond of one so genial,
it is satisfactory to know likewise that
i be did not take his life because it had
been a failure, but ia one of those sad
parentheses of mere physical torture,
when reason had been hurled tempo?
rarily frem her throne.
A Michigan paper declares that "Dr.
Mary Walker's life ia one continual

Which, to nil intent*and purposes, is a

legged nut-so; and as a mere aot of
justic-', we should like to hire some?
body to add that if those sainted pants
are properly cut and mode, you coold
no more pull tbum off without dislo?
cating u bom button than you conld
pull a cimel tbroagh the eye of a
