JUDGE RowLEs.-We know thatthe democracy of
Tennessee will be glad to learn of tots gentleman's
election to the House from this county. His serVI-
ces in behalf of his party heretofore, and his dis
tinguished ability made his election in which
every democrat in the State, who knew him, felt
deep solictude. Although he a candidate but
two weeks before the election and electoneer-
ed day, he was triumphantly elected by hand
some mojority. He did not run up with the party
vote because many democrats had promised to
for his competitor before he was a candidate
moreover the opposition lost sight of the balance of
their candidates and made a run at hm--sw Ipped
votes, spent money freely and did everything fair
and unfair to defeat him. bnt he triumphed all
their schemes and we consider his election one of
the greatest victories of the canvass. He was elect
ed by a ajority of 226 votes.-C Cleveland Banner.

THE GREAT ENGLIsH RACER "ECLTPsE."

THE GREAT ENGLISH RACER ECLIPSE"
Professor Low in his work on domestic animals,
thus aludes to Eclipse" Eclipse was got by
Marske grandson OF Bartett's Childers' out OF
Spiletta. He was foaled in the year 1894, during
the eclipse of that year, from which circumstance
he took his name. He was bred by the Duke of
Cumberland, and on the death of that Prince, sold
to Mr. Wildman, salesman at Smithfeld, and after
ward he became the property Of Mr.. OKelly.-
Eclipse had not the grandeur of form Of Flying
Childers and might have escaped notice but for the
accidental trial of his stupendous powers. He was
about fifteen hands and one inch high. His Shout
ders were very oblique, low, and so thick above,
that, according to the observation Of the time, a
frkin of butter might have rested upon them. He
stood very high behind conformation suited to his
great power of progression. He was so thick
winded to be heard blowing at considerable dis
lance. In the language Of honest John Lawrence,
sshe pulled and bowed like an OTTER and gallOped
as wide as a barn-do
No sooner were his powers exhibited on the turf
than every eye set to scrutniZe his FORM and he
then was admitted to possess, in perfection, the ex
ternal characteristics indicative of great speed.
volume was written on his proportions by NJ. st. Bel
a veterinary surgeon, whose investigation showed
that his figure differed greatly from the convention
al form which speculative writers had assigned as
the standard of perfection. He was of indOmi-
table temper and his jockeys found it in vain TO al
tempt TO hold him, but contented themselves with
remaining still in the saddle, while he went along,
his nose almost touching the ground His full speed
was never determined since he never met with an
opponent sufficiently feet to put it to the proof. He
not only was never beaten, but he able to dis
lance some of the best horses of his day, and the
eeest could keep by his side for fifty yards to-
gether.
This remarkable horse first appeared on the turf
at the age of ve in 1869. In the first heat he set
off of his accord, and easily gained the race,
his rider pulling him in n with all his force, for
the last mile. O'Kelly, observing this, and aware
of his horses powers offered, in the second heat to
'place the horses" and he took heavy bets that he
did so. When called upon to declare, he said,
pse was first, and the others dstanced;
or in the language of the turf, had place. From
this time Eclipse continually on the turf, and
gained every race No horse daring to contend
with him. he closed his career of seventeen months
by walking the New Market Course for the
Kings Plate in October, 177O During this brief
period is said that he gained e25 600 for his
err He was then employed with prodigiOus profit as
a stallion He got three hundred and thirty
winners at our numerous race courses, who COM
puted to have gained about 9160,O00 to the owners,
besides cups and plates. Eclipse died in the year
1883, at the age of twenty-five. This famous horse
was descendant from the Dairy Arabian.

Crime RamPant-The New York Tribune says
New FORK &" has boxed the compass of sahme and
of sin. There is not, we suppose a single law
upon the statute book which has not been violated
within the last year. Murder, arson, rape. grand
larceny petty larceny, highway robbery, seduction,
adultery, abduction, fOgery defalcatiOn obtaining
goods under falls pTetens-these are common
crimes. Perhaps, if the Tribune would devote it's
self to domestic instead of foreign reforms, it might
bring about a better state of things.

Congress and its Contingent Fund

1sys Lrs WAsHrrcroN. Feb. a 1857,
Each branch of Congress will hereaf-
ter, under the bill which passed the
House today, have the control of its
v contingent fund, Independently of
the la v and of the accounting officers.
The question in dispute between Con-
Rtese and the first controller as to the le-

officers will thus be settled. If Con-
gress should hereafter vote themselves
an ample contingent fund, they can re-
spsctieely disburse it without embarass.
ment from that clause of tie constitu-
tion which provides that no money ehall
be drawn from the treasury without
authority of law.
The new coinage law has taken effect
in part throughout the country in antic
ipation of its final passage. After THU
day, the Spanish quarters, eighth, anC
ssixtce7ths will cease to be currency il
2Nsw York. In the West they were ex
scfddsd some months ago. The decima
currency is cordially and practically ant

hangs between the two Houses upon al

The Senate went again into executive
session to day upon the Central Ameri
!. can treaty, and it appears that an ur

on il oue way or another.
