GOVERNoR VANCE will resign next
week, and will be succeeded by
Lioutenant-Governor Jarvis.
TuE ATLANTA Consfitution makes
the startling pun that North Carolina
will now add-Vance to the Senate;
but neglects to add that she loses her
Morri-man in doing so.
The Teller Committee.
This commiUce is in Charleston,
engaged in the delectable task of
Investigating the crookedness of the
recent election. floth Democrats and
Republicans aro testifying very freely,
and of course very diversely. It has
been pretty conclusively shown that
most of the Radical sulpervisors were
drunk and the rest did not attend to
their business. Nothing startling has
yet been developed.
The Senatorships,
Since the last report, other Senators
have been elected. Wisconsin sends
Matt Carpenter back in place of
How--, who has served three terms.
Carpenter was defeated in 1874 by a
coalition between Democrats and
bolters, who elected Angus Cameron.
Cameron is more of partisan than
Carpenter was.
The old political hack, John A.
Logan, goes back to the Senate from
Illinois in the place of Ogi lv. Two
years ago Logan was defeat' d 'or re
election by David Da.vis, whom the
Republicans made Senator to prevent,
his becoming the fifteenth member of
the electoral commission.
Don Cameron gets back from Penn
sylvania in spite of great dissatisfac
tion among lils own party.
Arkansas and Louisiana are still
balloting without result.
Voorhees is elected in Indiana. No
political changes have taken place in
these elections.
Those Cipher Despatches.
The House .has given the Potter
Committee ten thousand dollars to be
expended in investigating the cipher
telegrams. As our readers may 'not
remember the ircumstatnces connect
ed with these telegrams, we will state
their character briefly. A few months
ago the Now York Tributne puiblished
a large batch of telegrams, said to
have been sent by Manton Marble,
Smith Weed, and other Democrats in
Florida and Georgia, to Pelton and
others in New York, asking if money
could be procured to buy up the
Returning Boards who had offered to
sell out. T1hese despatches wvere all
in cipher, but Mr. Haizzard, of the
Tribune, succeeded, after several
months of laborious study, In discover
ing the key aund decipherinig them.
Manton Marble, Tilden and llewitt
emphatically deied any know ledge
of the despatches. Pelton was silent.
A great howl went up froin the Rie
* ~publican party, whow tried to conceal
Its crime ini stealing the Presidency,
by abusing the Democrats for being
asked 6o do wvhat, they themselves did,
by offering rewards of positions to
the Returning Roards. How these
telegrams were procured by thle
Tribune is a mystery, which Mr.
Potter will try to dliscover. When
investigations began, President Orton,
of the WVestern Union Telegraph Comn
pany, wvas ordered to turn over all
despatches that passed over the wires
during the winter of 1876. H~e re
fused, but after he and the executive
committee of the company were ar
rrested for contempt, the telegrams,
29,600 in number, were lhaced in a
huge trunk and delivered to Senator
Morton's committee. They were
hi opened, spread upon the tab~le, and
left night after night unguarded, the
only precaution taken being t~o lock
thme door. It Is now claimed that
some of the Republicans gained access
to the room, examined the telegrams,
destroyed the Republican ciphers and
sold the Democratic despatches to the
T"ribume.
Mr. Tilden bitterly denies any corn
plicity in the frauds, and demands an
investIgation. Mr. Howitt made ths
very sensible point that as the Re
xli turning Boards had their price anid
Mr. Tildon the money, the failure to
buy them proves conclusively that hie
was not in that business. A plausiblo
1 -. hypothesis is that holders of the pools5
at Morrissey's, representing a million
in order to save their bots. The only
result that can accrue from the dis
covery of these cipher despatohes is to
weaken the strong ease the Demo
crat. had as antagonists of fraud, and
the only thing the investigation can
do is to establish Mr. Tilden's inno..
cence and help his stock in thme polit'
esimarket,
WH AT CONGRESS X8 DOINQ.
Still Tinkering at the Amendments --A
Plo for Subsidios--Providing for
Disabled Veterans.
.WAsmUNoN, January 21.-As is
well kuown, after the reassembling of
Congress Senator Edimn"ds submitted
resolution- affiiing the validity of
the 13th, 14th and 15thi amendments to
the constitution. Liko most of lia
party, lie seeniod to have no regard
for the "Coustitution as it was," but
niuch for the additions made to it in
(lie years of excitement during and
since the var. Senator Morgiai yes
terday, acting for a coninitteo ap
poiated at iL Senatorial Democratic
cautcus, presented a substitute for
Senator EdinInds' resolution. The
saibstituto affiris the supremacy of
the whole Constitution in its sphere,
the rights of the States, &c., an(d is, on
the whole, it readabIleand sound docu
ment. The only great objection to it
would apply to any paper under the
circumstances-and that is, that it will
lead to interminable discussion and
thus to tho neglect of the proper busi
iess of Congress.
This proper business of Congress,
by the way, is to pass8 the appropria
tion bills, investigate and discuss sonic
ieans of benefitting the industries of
the country, estailish two or more
steaniship lines to South America, do
justice to the producing West by mi
provilg tle niavigationi of the Missis
Sippi, ald to the South by aiding the
Toxias and Pacific Railway, and ad
journ. The inore discussion we have
of abstract (Iuestions, the less we shall
have of legitilltte and necessary busi
ness. I hope Deniocratic Senators
will conltenit themiselves witi voting,
aid let Replblican~is waste tiie inl the
discision of the Edininds resolutions
and the substitto.
It is a vexed question among Demo
crats inl the Senatle whether to side
with Senator Conkling or tie Admin
istrationl on) the suiblect of the New
York Custoin House nominations.
The friends of Sonator C. say there
is no douLt of the rejection of the
nominiees, and this, of courso, will be
a victory for the Senator.
At time close of the civil war, under
then existing laws, every soldier ;in
any way disabled in the line of his
duty wits entitled to a pension duing
continuance of his disability. Aflter
wards a laiv was passed to the eff-et
that if applicat ion wa'1s imade for a pen
sion within three years from date of
discharge the pension should go back
to date of (lischarge. The three years
were afterwards increased to live. BY
an act which passed the Senate last
week, having previously passed the
louse, the period wasimade indefilnite,
so that ainy soldier of the civil war
who hereai'fer applies for and receives
pension will receive payment from the
dite he left service, and those whose
pensions, already granted, conumence
at ia later date, iill receive ''atrears
of pension." The ariouit the act will
cost, for pensions heretofore granted,
is estimtted at froin twventy to fifty
milions of dollars. The prospective
cost is also great. Mr. ayes, it i
unlderstood, will (decide onl Thutrsdaiy
next whether to approve thie act or
ntot. 9 IIILTON.
A sinigular calse of poisoing from
Paris green occurmred ini RuLtlandI(, Vt.,
recently. Mr. Stitt piled up the pota
to tops ini his garden (oni which had
beeni usedl Paris green pretty freely)
aiid set them n fi ire. Ilis boy thought
it wasI great sporIt, to runlf through and

It is a cur-ions fact, if the newspa

How THlE PLAY AFFECTED A WEST
EuINE.-We don't knowv that wve
particularly fancy the kind of a man
Ingomar is represented as having
been. And yet how the women
folks do enjoy seeing .Parthenia
lead the big spoony ruffian b~y the
noae through two hiour's and a half
of romance and sentimentality i It
does them a world of good, because
it discovers to them a power that
few of them ever imagined they
possessed-that subtle, heavenly
influence which womankcind alone
exercises. Every woman goes away
from the play..house imatgining that
she too is a~ Patei-n so she
may become if she will only -dispose
her soul to conquer her Ingomnar
with love instead of broom.-sticks,
and kindness instead of sad..irons.
And as for the enrly Ingomar, con
temptuously as we may view his
maudlin sentimentality, we ennnot
help having a great deal of sympa
thy with him ; for, if we were in go
mur, and if Mary Anderson were tc
roll her great juicy eyes around usi
and hold her plump, white arms
and tell us about tihe "two souls,'
etc., we would be ten thousand
times worse than the most irrevoca'
ble demon if we did not forget 0our
ferocity and crouch like a quail om
toast at her No. 8 sandals.

KILLED BY A METEO.-On Tues..
day night last, Leonidas Grover,
who resided in the vicinity of New
ton, Fountain county, met his
death in a way that is without par
allel in this or any other country.
Mr. Grover was a widower, living
on his farm with a married daughter
and her husband. On the evening
referred to the married couple had
been absent on a visit to some
neighbors, and upon returning at a
late hour entered the house, finding
everything to all appearance in
usual order, and supposing that Mr.
Grover had already retired, went
to bed themselves. Next morning
the daughter arose, and having
prepared breakfast, went to the
adjoining room to call her father,
and was horrified to find him lying
upon his shattered bed, a mutilated
corpse. Her screams brought the
husband quickly to the bedroom,
and an inspection disclosed a
ragged opening in the roof, directly
over the breast of the unfortunate
man, which was torn through as if
by a cannon shot and extending
downward through the bedding and
floor ; other holes showed- the di.
rection taken by the deadly missie.
Subsequent search revealed the fact
that the awful calamity was caused
by the fall of meteoric stone, and
the stone itself, pyramidal in, shape
and weighing twenty pounds and a
few 'ouenes, avoirdupois, and stained
with blood, was unearthed from a
debth of nearly five feet, thus show
ing the fearful impetus with which
it struck the dwelling. Tihe posi
tion of the corpse, with other sur
roundings, iwhen found, showed
that the victin' was asleep when
stricken and that death to him was
painles.-Ifndianapolis Journal.
Tim TELLER COMMITTEE.-The New
Orleans Picayune of Sunday, speak
ing of thme departure of the Teller
committee from that city en route
for South Carolina, says :"It is
supposed only a few days will be
spent in the Palmetto State, and
the committee will then return to
Washington. The chief object of
the visit to South Carolina is to
investigate the subject of tissue bal
lots. Owing to the limited time -at
their disposal the committee will
not enter on an outrage investiga
tion, and besides, the Republican
members seem to think, they have
procured sufficient evidence of out
rages in this State to make whatves
er political capital they may need
in the next campaign."
A young lady, after passing the
Cambridge local examination, sud
denly broke off her engagement
with her sweetheart. A friend ex
postulated with her, but she re.
plied: "I must merely say that his
views on the theosopic doctrine of
cosmogony are loose, and you must
at once understand how impossible
it is for any true woman to risk her
happiness with such a person."
"Come, pa," said a youngster
just home from school, "how many
peas are there in a pint 1" "How
can anybody tell that, you foolish
boy ?" "I can every time. If you
don't believe it, try me." "WVell,
how many are there, then?1" "Just
one p in every pint, pa."
Mr. Horatio Seymour is to give
the ad(dr oss at the celebrat~ion this
year of the battle of Newtown, N.
Y., fought by General Sullivan
during his expedition against the
Iroquois one hundred years ago.
General Butler thinks the Teller
Committee will not get as far as
Massachusetts just now. This is a
good thing for Butler.
