CHRIsrYfAs.-InO observance of
q congratulated newspaper GUS
tom, now having the force OF
common law, the employees OF
this office will not be required for
duty during Christmas week, nor
will the TELEGRAPH break in up
on the festivities of its patrons to
bring back to mind the rattle and
hustle, at such a joyous time, of
everyday life. Our next paper
will appear on New Years Day,
1870, and be succeeded by others
weekly throughout the year.
We take OCCASION, at the close
of the year, to thank our friends
for their generous support of the
TELEGRAPH and for the general
interest manifested in it's success.
We congratulate ourself upon
having q host of friends actively
in sympathy with our humble
efforts to publish an independent
peoples paper, at a most inauspi-
cious juncture in public affairs.
and for having so far redeemed
our pledges in that behalf, as to
| be able to look back over more
than four years of unusual temp
tations and hardships, without one
particle of remorse arising from a
CONSCIOUSNESS Of a principle sur
rendered that was dear to the
people, or any compromise made
our Judgment or events have not
approved-a satisfaction we should
not have enjoyed had our course
been guaged by the standard of
what men usually call "policy,"
but what is better known, and
more frequently turns out, as dis
honesty. An editor thus fortified
extends to his readers, great and
small, rich and poor, friendly or
inimica], his best wishes for a
happy holiday during Christmas
and for the acquisition of renewed
vigor and energy to encounter the
bereavments, troubles and vicissi-
tudes of the New Year just COM
ing in!

A PRISONER AT DRY ToRrU-
GAs.-The Montgomery, {Ala.)
Mail, of. the 3rd inst, says that
Col. @. @. Tew, formerly Colonel
OF the I'd N. @. Regulars, Confed-
crate Army, who was dangerous
ly wounded at Boonsboro, Md,
and reported as dead, is now
held as prisoner at the Dry Tor
tugas. The person from whom
this information was obtained is
Mr.. Kelly, formerly of the 1st
South Carolina Regiment, who
was a prisoner at Dry Tortugas.
Mr.. x. has papers from the adju-
tant of his regiment showing that
he was a prisoner at Dry Tortu-
gas, and was once shot trying to
make his escape. Mr.. K. was
pardoned by President Johnson.
AT the commencement of the war
Col. Tew was an officer of the
United States army, in command
OF Fort Macon, near Newborn, n.
o., and surrendered it to the State
or Confederate authorities, which
is the supposed reason of his i'm
prisonment at Tortugas. He was
noted in the Confederate army
as a brave, gallant and noble
officer.
Mr.. Tew has relatives living in
louisiana. The late Judge Tew,
ct Catahoula parish, and the late
CHARLES Tew, formerly a cotton
broker of New Orleans, were of
the same family.

Louisiana in Congress.

The action of the House of
Representatives. in the matter of
the Louisiana contested elections,
since the recent assembling of
Congress, manifests on the part
of that body q degree of tolera-
ton toward Democratic opposi-
ton which the previous acts of
the majority had scarcely prepar-
ed Us to expect. Louisiana, al
though excluded from her rightful
representation in the House, has.
Notwithstanding, able champions
on the floor to defend her; but
their ability could accomplish lit
tie on vote, unless backed by
support from the Republicans.
To the latter, therefore, we yield
whatever credit may be due for
the present status of the Louisiana
cases, not forgetting the kind of
Aces of such noble friends as Mr..
Kerr, Of Indiana, and others be-
longing to the Democratic side of
the House.
As conveyed through the tele-
graphic wires, the diagnosis of
the Louisiana case is something of
this character: The testimony,
taken by the Commission sent
here last Spring, having been
printed, has been submitted to a
subcommittee on elections for
examination and report. Of this
ub-committee Mr.. Kerr, the Dem
ocratic member of the Commits
sion just referred to, has been
made a member, with the priv
ilege of submitting a report.
Tho testimony is voluminous,
making two volumes of 500
pages each, and will .necessi-
tate, no doubt, considerable delay
in arriving at the salient points.
We, therefore, conclude that no
report will be submitted until
some time after the holidays.
There will be undoubtedly two
reports. with differing views, but
how widely is only matter of con-
lecture, followed by a tedious dis
cussion in the House.
Taking the records of.the House
for q criterion, it would be diff
cult to find any cause incident to,
or 8 part of, the election in this
State, which would justify the
House in declaring that election
nullity. The two volumes of
testimony taken by the House
Commission does not contain, we
dare say, particle of evidence
which would have been consider
by any House of Representatives
anterior to the war as possessing
any weight whatever. No actual
violence on election day, fraud or
inegafty, has ever been proven
with sufficient clearness to Justify
the rejection of the votes Of a
single parish. All other causes
for rejection of returns were uni
formly held, in the best. and
purest days of the Republic, as
frivolous and unworthy of consid-
Grafton. Elections were held to
he sacred-beyond the reach of
hearsay evidence, vague charges
Of intimidation and other kindred
charges.
We call the attention of the
Sub Committee to the acknowl-
edged peaceable character of the
election all over the State, and
especially in the 5th Oongression-
al District, where not serious
disturbance has occurred since
the surrender of the Confederate
forces, and more especially to tho
fact that that election was con-
Quoted ny in accordance with the

The MISSISSIPPI ELECrION.-
The Cincinnati Enquirer COM
menting on the recent election in
Mississippi, says:
Nationally, the result will have
little effect on the status of the
parties, the Dent party being
pledged to the infamous Fifteenth
Amendment. In the execution
of such dirty work, it is meet and
proper that it should be done by
negroes, and not by whites. The
time is not far distant, however,
when all this pretended negro
reconstruction will be brushed
away like a cobweb.
