TABERNAcLE FAIR.-The fair last night
was not so numerously attended, owing
to the number of entertainments in the
city, but otherwise was decidedly sue
cess. All went of merrily as mar
rage bell" and the proceeds were larger
than could have been expected. The
fair will continue tonight, and will
doubtless be thronged. At given hour
a rhetorical dialogue will be rendered
to enliven the occasion. We learn
that the proceeds of the fancy party, to
which reference is made elsewhere, will
be given as contribution to the ladies OF
the Tabernacle by the mason who got it
up. Table kept by Mrs. Simmons and
Mrs. Caskin-severa fine cakes to be
voted ou-one for the most popular
bride, one for the young lady getting the
most votes, handsome toilet set for most
popular young lady, and a handsome
doll for the little girl getting the most
yotes--sote to be closed Tuesday night.

NEW MEMPHIS THEArER. = The an
nouucement at the door Of the theater
last night, to all persons going in, that
the performance Of the White Fd'on for
the evening would be matter of impos-
sibility, threw damper on the feelings OF
o great many, whose exuberant antlcips-
ton of pleasure was permitted to sub
side. and the announcement was made
from the stage that every one could have
their money returned who had paid to see
the Enchanted Fapn, if they so desired.
Manager Steinkuil regrets very much
that the public was disappointed, but
everv effort was made to pat toe
niece Oh the stage. The necessa'
nv amount Of preparation to com
plete arrangements for 50 extraordinary
a performance. requires q great deal OF
labor. The mechanics we're employed
during the entire night with the york Of
ureparatiou, and the management can
assure toe public that they shall not be
disappointed again. So let every one
get ready for the perfeFuence this even
ing, and live 10 anticipation until the
time Of seeing the most gorgeous thing
ever pat upon any stage.

"A Washington correspondent
says "Speaker Colfax's receptions,
III one sense of the word, are unlike
all others. No prominent man in
Washington receives his thousands
Of admirers and says to them, after
an Introduction, THIS is wy MOTIF
err She stands by his side, with
no one to separate them, bearing a
strong personal resemblance to
him, while she is only seventeen
years the oldest. At what tender
age her love commenced for this
boy Schuyler-nobody else's boy,
though he were President! She has
put on the chameleon silk, and the
cap with blue ribbons, to receive
the multitude that flock in masses
to do homage to her son. Pride
half slumbers in her bosom, but
love is vigilant and wide-a wake
There Is no metallic impression on
her countc nance-a genuine, heart
felt welcome is extended to all who
go to pay their respects to her idol.
SO the people come and go, and
wonder why Speaker Colfax's re-
ceptions are unlike all Others. %.

THE aALEl


Our dailies Of yesterday bring ac
counts of heavy damages by the
gale on Monds5 night. Az Chiea-
go aSnllR6er of buildings were
blowh down, and many were in
.jured. Railroad buildings suffered
much loss. The Chicago and Rock
Island road is said to be damaged
to the amonpt of 100000. AT
Springfield, Rock Island and Pana,
Illinois, the gale was heavy and the
losses severe. At st. Louis and
Louisville it was also severe, and
did much damage.
The damage by the gale at
Cincinnati and vicinity was consid-
erable. Many houses were badly
dsmaged, and boats on the river
were tossed about like chips A
train on the l. 4 C.R.R. was lift
ed from the track, and perhaps
thousands of miles of. fence was
thrown down. 1t is said to have
been the most extensive gale known
for many years.

- Among the proceedings oi
Congress, of Monday last, we no
tice the following;
Mr. Garfield, of Ohio, (Union),
presented the petition of one hun
dred and nine German citizens OF
Cleveland, asking that the Consti.
tuition be so amended as to abolish
the office of President Of the Uni
ted States, Referred to the Judi
ciary Committee,
We presume these German citi,
zens have come to the conclusion
that the U, S. would be better off
without q President, than with such
an one as A. Johnson.

1t has been suggested that thu
Democratic Legislature Of our State
who have talked so much about re
trenchment and tightening the bur
dens of the "dear people", will no
adjourn until Congress has finally
disposed Of the impeachment case
and probably not until they can sec
the bottom of the Treasury. Five
dollars a day is big thing with
Democrats who have been fasting
and hungering for the loaves and
fishes all their lives. They propose
to remain at the Capital until John
son is impeached, so as to elect
some poor starving soul of their
party to fill the unexpired term OF
Hon. b. +. Wade, who will be Pres
ident when Andy is impeached. If
they adjourn before the impeach-
ment, Gov, Hayes would have to
fill the vacancy by appointment
That they don't like so well. For
the five dollars Il day and the cleo
ton of Mr., Wade's successor, they

-The contested eIection case b

The contested election case in
the Senate of this State, between
Mr.. Jones and Mr. 0nderdonk, was
finally settled on the llth inst
The question being taken on the
resolution declaring Mr.. Jones not
entitled to the seat, by a strictly
party vote, resulted as follows =
Yeas 1S; nays 16. A resolution
was then carried by the same vote,
declaring that Mr.. 0nderdonk is
entitled to the seat. Mr.. Jones had
received a legal majority of the
votes in the Senatorial District, and
was constiM;ionally elected; but
portion of these votes, it seems,
we're given by persons who had
visible admixture Of African blood
in their paldfnoWS veins, notwith-
standing The white blood predoihi-
mated. And as Mr.. Jones was a
Republican, these voters, according
to Butternut philosophy, had no
right to vote, if their votes were
given for Republican candidates,
notwithstanding sundry decisions
Of the Supreme Court of our State
to the contrary.
