Death of Mrs. GaskeII.

Mrs. Elizabeth C.. Gaskell, ~well-known
on both sides the Atlantic as a popular
and pleasing novelist died at Alton, Eng
land, on the 18th ult, at about fifty years
of age. Her first work "Mary Barton"
a story depicting the hardships of factory
life in Great Britain, appeared in 1914,
and the cotemporaneous strikes of the OPP
pressed working men in England gave it
much prominence, which was increased
rather than diminished by an effort on the
part of the manufacturers to suppress the
book 1t was followed by ''The Woodland
Cottage, = in 1850, and by "Ruth" in 1852,
neither of which attained anything like
the popularity of the first work. Since
that time Mrs. GRskell has written much.
The. work ByAwhicA she became most
widely known, especially in this country,
wis her "Lifes of Charlotte Bronte" which
and tho other powerful novels of Miss
Bronte, had aroused the most powerful
interest not only in regard to themselves
but also in regard to their author, and
when Mrs. GaskeAs WILDLY told story of
The sad and singular life of Courier Belp
made its appearance, it had a fascination
almost as great as any of her novels.
The book has been ~pr65hounced the best
biography written sipee Boswells John
SON" Interesting as it was, it cannot be
regarded as reliable. Mrs. Gaskelps in
tense admirationaf and.sympathy for her
friend Charlotte Bronte insensibly col
.ored her whole book, and made it partial

The Tennessee Delegation.

Ii will be remembered that an election
was held in Tennessee on the third of Au-
gust last to choose delegates to Congress,
and that the successful candidates were
announced to be n. G. Taylor, Horace
Maynard, W. B. Stokes, Edward Cooper,
W. B. Campbell, d. B. Thomas, Isaac N.
Hawkins, and J.. w. Leftwich. 1t now
appears that out of the 81, 1873 votes re-
turned, 22,274 were polled in counties
where the registry or franchise laws
were wholly disregarded or were evaded
by wilful misconstruction on the part of
the local officers. These votes are there
fore not to be counted. Governor Brown
low has commun icated this fact to the
Legislature, and Inclosed in his message a
table exhibiting the total number of votes
in each district, for each candidate, the
number excluded, and the corrected result.
The number of counties thrown out is %.
The exclusion affects the result in only
one District, the 9Th, in which d. B.
Thomas who was elected by ass
majority on the first announced vote, is
defeated by S. NJ. Arnell by 1,O2j
on the corrected vote. In the Fifth Nash
viIle) district all the votes are thrown out
except those polled in Wilson county alone
"a total of $500 illegal out of s,OOO-but
as Governor Campbell received a majority
in Wilson, the result is not changed.
Governor Brownlow says; II am re-
lieved of much responsibility by the fact
that my decision is not conclusive, and
that the question is still open for the ac-
ton of Congress-" But the Governor says
further eThers can be no doubt that
a large portion of the voters in the coun-
ties 1 have been constrained to reject,
were justly entitled to certificates if the
law had been complied with. 1 sincerely
regret that loyal men should be deprived
of their votes by the fault or mistakes o.
others. The remedy lies in a new regis
tration, which I hope will be at once or
dered, for having acted in this matter with
deliberation, and from a sense of right
shall be compelled hereafter to disregard
elections held in the counties indicated
in the report, as Illegally registered The
Governor having by proclamation before
the election warned the people that he
would not take into account the votes OF
counties where the law was not complied
with, is certainly justified, as he was re-
CURED to take this course. 1t is noticeable
that in loyal East Tennessee but few votes
had to be rejected; but that the middle
counties, where the secesh element is
strongest in the State, furnish the smallest
number who complied with the law
The law was odious to them and they
| wouldn't obey it.

The SENATORS Elect from Alabama.

The Alabama Legislature has elected
Lewis E. Parsons and George S. Houston
to apply for admission to the United States
Senate as Senators from that State. The
former was Provisional Governor of the
State under the appointment of President
johnson, and has Il better record in that
capacity than most of his colleagues. He
urged the Legislature to ratify the consti-
tdtional amendment abolishing slavery,
and to admit negro testimony to the courts.
Mr.. Houston was a member of Congress
from ls4l to 1861 continuously, and was
recognized as one of the ablest of the
Southern Rights Democrats in that body.
Ho WAS chairman of tire House Ways and
Means Committee of the Thirty-third Con-
gress,and of the Judiciary Committee ofthe
Thirty-ffth. Since the outbreak of the
rebellion he has remained in comparative
obscurity, his Union proclivities being
strong, though not openly declared. The
choice is perhaps as good a n as the Leg
~islature could make.

that he could see the tops of the trees in

how I am, and there's the flag at half

The total population of Sierra Leone
was 4l,624 at the end of 1868. Only 1857
remained pagans; 1924 were connected
with the Church Of England 1880 were
Methodists and other Christians 4; and
1874 were Mohammedans. The pupils
in the Christian schools amounted to H.
DIG. Sierra Leone is thus proving not
only a refuge for those who are rescued
from slavery, but a nucleus of civilization
and a school of Christian teaching.

Congress and the Death of President

1t is suggested that Congress will prob
ably appoint a committee of n from
each State to draft resolutions expressive
of the national sense of bereavement at
the murder of President Lincoln, and to
choose an orator to deliver a eulogy upon
the life and services of the Martyr Presi-
dent. Charles. Sumner will probably be
selected for this honorable duty. We
certainly know of no man whose scholarly
attainments, whose chastened eloquence,
whose thorough sympathy with the great
measures of the late administration, whose
unblemished record, whose pure and
steadfast devotion to the great cause for
which the murdered President laid down
his life, more peculiarly fit him to be the
eulogist eff Abraham Lincoln, than Charles
Sumner. Fl

An exchange has the annexed:
"One reason why the churches are so
sparsely attended, is because of the inter
minable length, of the sermons. In nine
cases out of ten, a discourse above a half
an hour long becomes wearisome, unproft-
able, and sometimes even miscellaneous. If
there should be a reform here-if preach
ing were made really attractive by its
earnestness and brevity, the pulpit would
WELD a power which now it seems to have
lost"
