Messrs. Campbell and Valandgham of Ohio for a seat
in Congress from of the Districts of that State has
been decided in favour of Valandgham the contestant
and against Campbell, the sitting member. Mr. Camp

Speaker Banks by whom he was placed at the head
of the House Committee of Ways and Means the last

Mr. Campbell has been recording his vote throughout
themost important questions coming before Congress
1t might have been that his vote would have controlled the
action Of the House the Kansas BILL and thus have se

both be pretty certain to draw pay for the whole time
that the contest has been going on for such the Gus

Congress is hurrying through with things pretty
fast. Andrew Johnson's homestead bill has been post
poned until next January That u.s. it has been thrown
overheard this time We do hope that the day for such
miserable demagogueism is over We like good many
things in Andrew johnson of Tennessee but there are
also great many things that we do not like, and these
homestead bills, and other demagogueical affairs are
among the things that we don't like They are hum
bugs and we might as well say SO. They are agraran
in their character They not in accordance with the
spirit of representative Democracy Or of individual
independence.
The Navy appropriation bill has been passed by the
House. The remaining appropriation bills are under

Louis Napoleon is Emperor Of France, and is an ugly
customer to NEEDLE with. France owns the At
rican colony of Algeria and is anxious to improve It.
France is tired of British cant about the saVetrade
and slavery generally and although not openly author
ing it carrying it on she does authorize and carry
on what equivalent to it, and don't to have much
disguise about it, and France has five hundred war YES
sells and six hundred and fifty thousand soldiers and
as we said before, Louis Napoleon is an ugly customer
welding these terrible naval and military forces and 50
England winks compacently while, in fact SO does no
small saverading on her hook in coolies and appren
tces and all that sort of thing for she has found out ne
mistake and knows now that she did wrong IN emancpa
ting the slaves in her West India Colonies by which she
totally ruined her splendid tropical possessions But 10

home she is ready to dsavow and patch up things until
the next time relying on the eebeness of the American
to prevent any sudden outbreak between the coun-
tries, than which there is nothing which she is more
anxious to avoid And generally, might say, always
the thing is patched up, after fashion.
But the new phase of the slave trade-the new rival
to the Southern United States is said to be developing
in the French colony of Algeria. Algeria is on the
South side of the Mediteranean-has large territory
with extensive bodies of fertile landlies in the same
latitude and has pretty much the sae climate with the
cotton states and most important of ALL has behind II
vast region filled with negroes who are forever cap
turing and being captured, and selling and being sole
as slaves to the French in Algeria 1t asserted that
thus France with strong foothold on the African
continent pushing her and her influence into thu
interior where like the British in India, she is exempt
from the surveillance and observation OF other countries
is really laying the foundations of great slave empire
mainly with the view Of trying the experiment OF enter
ing into competition with the Southern States OF tht
Union in the production Of cotton. No cruisers car
overhaul her slaves for they marched to her OWL
frontier and she can give to the trade and the system
what name she peascs she can refuse to give any
name, or offer any explanation. The success OF hei
experiment must depend upon soil and climate-the
other great clement of cheap and abundant labor Ger
tanly at her disposal.

Il need not speak, as all of your readers

Its churches are well adapted to the
purposes for which they are intended.
Some of them possess high architectural
finish. The presbyterians are about erect
ing new edifce upon the site Of their old
church. This in design and ornament
will surpass any other building of its kind
now in the city. The new court house
stands upon a mouud-like elevation.
From its cupola will be seen the entire
city, with all the charming scenery Of
the vicinity, The only objection urged
against this structure is that it is not
sufficiently capacious conveniently to
transact the business of this rapidly grow
ing county. During the last summer and
fall, three beautiful school houses have
been built, rejecting much credit upon
the liberality and energy Of the citizens.
Each building is of brick, with iron in
