tors and decorators and uphostelers

of expensive carpets have been laid
down, and nothing has been neglect

very evident that-for o time at least
tho congressman elected in the re-
constructed States arc TO be kept "out

announcement Of Mr.. Colfax, who
speaks authoritative for tho Heuse,
to thereby secure tho radical majority
for Speaker. And his speech may be
taken as an expression of the opinion
Of at least one hundred members OF
the House, while thero arc thirty
more who will not dare repudiate the

they may not endorse them.

A New OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES official snnouncs-
ment OF the War Department that persons who
have been liable to the draft during the war,
and have left the country rather than serve in
the ranks Of the national army, may return
without any fear that the Pains and penalties
of desertion will be imposed, will undoubtedly
result in an immense immigration from Canada
and Europe. Thousands of young mon who
could not afford or were not inclined to pay
the money demanded for substitutes betook
themselves to the other hemisphere or sneaked
off to Canada. They will now return in force,
secured against all liability to answer the
charge of desertion. We fear that Canada will
be almost depopulated by this sudden emigra-
ton; for the hegira to that country was some
thing immense during the perilous days when
the draft officials were turning the eventful
wheel which consigned men to the roll Of
honor. -tas.v.ep sF8
