on Wednesday evening in favor of negro
suffrage, in which he said that all the in

Coming next 10 discussion of the policy
which the Iuriicth Congress should adopt,
Mr. Boutwell, said TWO great ends must be
brought about ut--iir-t, universal suffrage.
One way of Obtaining this was by holding
the States rs they now are, until by their
own motion, they do justice to the coored
people. Congress may abolish the Gov
crumcutS OF these States and establish
crtitoriai governments, and declare who

likely the result to which the act on of

A dispatch reporting the victory was

having lost one arm in the Mexican war,
resigned his position in the old army, and
embarked his remaining all in our late
disastrous struggle. The courier convey
ing the dispatch returned with it undcHv-
cred, the officer to whom it was addressed
having capitulated, and thus no official re.
port was ever published.

The Next Congress.

There is now no doubt that the forticth
Congress, to assemble in December of
next year, WILL be composed of large
majority of Radicals. The Philadelphia
Inquirer (RaricaD speaking OF t e rcsul,
OF Tuesdays elections, remarks:
The congressional delegation in the tor
tieth Congress, It is now settled will be
about the same in party stren~th us it was
in the thirty ninth The only change that
has been made is in Maryland, and in th1t
State the Republican loss is really only of
one Congressman, the other, who is re
elected, having gone over to the johnson
policy some time ago. Delaware remains
the same. New Jersey adds two to the
Republican congressman. The New York
delegation is about the same as in the pre-
sent Congress. In Missouri there is
Republican gain of one Congressman, and
IN the States of Illinois, Minnesota, Mich
igan, Wisconsin and Naveda, according
to the returns received, the returns will
be in favor OF the parties which were vic
torious in 1861. The elections on Tuesday
gave about sixty nine or seventy Rcpub-
licans in the House Of Representatives to
twenty or twenty yonc Democrats With
the members already, it is established be-
yond al! doubt that in the House the Re
publicans will have consido rably more than
TWO thirds of the members.
In the Senate there will be an increase
OF the Republican strength. The loss of
Senator Creswcll in Maryland will be com
pensatcd by the election of Republican
in New Jersey. Illinois will elect Re
publican Senator, Kansas will choose two
and Missouri, New York, Neveda, Penn-
sylvania and Wisconsin will each elect
one. The next Senate will, therefore,
stand torty-four Republicans to eight De
nocrats-more than three-iour,hs ma
jority ior the former party.

DO not beat the "devil's tattoo" by

cannot fail to annoy every one within hear

Ladies should accept introductions only

In speaking, it is always proper to give

But when one speaks to gentleman Of

New married persons must abstain in

conspicuous, and every exclusive attention.
Married persons who, in society, place
themselves continually near one another,
and who converse and dance together, do
not escape rldicule. In society, we ought,

the United States, which may interest
them:

pense, erect receiving cistcrns. and pro
vide himself with locks and seals, to b.
