A considerable number of wealthy
former slavcowners have arrived at
Washington from the South, with the
intention Of taking up their residence

ETY. at the South since the war, prom

IMPORTANT TO BILLIARD Players
The last number OF the Billiard Cue
contains an announcement from Mr..
Phelan of an important change in the
y.laws of the game OF billiards.
Heretofore, when the cue hall was in
contact with another, or "frozc," the
player must strike another ball be,
fore the one with which he was in
contact, in order to count. Mr.. Phe-
Ian announces that after the first oil
next January player, if his ball be
"frozen," can count, provided he
plays away from the ball with which
he Is in contact, although on the re-
turn of the cue ball from the cushion
or massc 1t touches that to which i
was frozen. The new rule will b,
favorably received by all players.

Who has not Confidence in ihe People.


The rlorious news OF the result ol
the election in the four States above
named, almost takes ones breath
away. II is beyond all Calculation
the grandcst victory achieved at The
POLLS for a long time Four States
have declared in unmistakable terms
that loyal men shall rule the country,
and have put veto on "My folicy'
and the idea that the President, in
stead of Congress, shall make the
laws of the United States.
Ohio undoubtedly sends back us
former number of Congressman. al
though the Copperheads claim that
Delano is defeated Ivy $50 majority.
It ia presumed that when tho returns
are all in from that District, the 18th,
there will be majority for him.
The increase in the State OF ONO
will be Is 900 or 10000.
Pennsylvania is all right. Union
lists gain two Congressman, and the
State Legislature is strongly Union
From Indiana the news comes that
the State is Union by at least 49,
OOO,--the Legislature is Union, and
the Congressional delegation stands
as before.
Iowa falls in line with neat ma
jority, and returns its Union Con
gressmen by increased mNjorities'
Thus far, the people, in whose pat
riotism and integrity johnson has SO
often said he had so much confidence,
have took stand by Congress. The
little matters OF Bread and Butter,
Swinging Around the Circle, etc.
have not moved them. "By Congress
will we stand" say they in Name,
Vermont, Ohio, Pennsylvania, lndi-
ana, Iowa.

there also been variable, huctuating
between heavy rains and high winds

SOUND pnuoslpnY.-Rev. Thos
X. Beecher, of Elmira, n. Y, refer
ling to Henry Ward Bcecher, and
the keen reproaches that assail him
on all sides for his Cleveland letter,
says:
Hardly paper we take up but is
lending a hand to switch this brother
OF ours for holding opinions of his
own. Friends say to us, "he must
feel it" aud congratulate us that we
arc not catching such a roasting and
basting. All of which reminds us of
a iavorite story used often by Mr.
Lincoln: A man named Sampson
Pcwee, had the reputation of being
hen pccked. And Yet he throvc so
ihat his friends resented the scandal
in his behalf, until one day Pcwee
was noisily switched out of bis own
house by his ralnpaging wife. Then
a friend demonstrated with Pcwee--
Sam, it's shame to let her do So
l can't stand it any longer. You are
not man to let her go on So 'Oh,'
said Sam, with jolly knowing wink,
you don't understand The switch
ing don't hurt me a mite, and you
don't know what power Of good it
does my Sarah Ann!
We have have not seen or heard
from Henry Ward. But knowing
him TO be man of faith and prayer,
and Christian hope, we are amused
to see any. MEN switching him-let
them switch. II don't hurt him Il

to tins country has been steadily in
