PRESIDENT JonssoS's Furuar.-"Mack'

PRESIDENT JoHssoN's FurURE.-"Mack" writes as follows to the Cincinnati ERquiysr:
 Tn former letter intimated that it was the intention of the Conservative party in Tennessee to nominate Mir Johnson next fall for Governor. This I understand now to be fully determined upon Little doubt is en- tertained of his election. At any rats he has always been extremely popnlar in Tennessee. He knows the people there, and they know him, and believe him to be sincerely and hon estly devoted to their interests. l do not know who will be his competitor in the race, but probably some carpet-bag scrub from Massachusetts, or some Radical convert Of the Stokes pattern, who wanted hiIa hung in 1881 ! for being Union man. If elected Governor, he will undoubtedly be chosen to the Senate | in place of Fowler, whose term expires in le7l; and then we may look for lively times in that chamber of gilt-edged imbecility and loyal gammon. It will be worth while to go to some trouble to elect A. J. to the Senate, just to give him a chance to viDdicate himself and his administration, which l understand to be his sole object in remaining in public life after the 4th of March. His natural com bativeness, not always in place when exhib- tied from the Presidential Mansion, will have full vent in the Senate debates; and know enough of what it Is in his power to expose, to promise rich developments in his "bouts"
 with some of the leading Radicals. He will exhibit some of the recent inner workings oi
 the Radical party to the intense delight oI
 all the Radicals. So let every Conservative man in Tennessee and elsewhere put his shoulder to the wheel, and give A. J. all the help he can to get him into the Senate. II he does not pull the mask of patriotism from , some of the hypoerites in that body, 'then am soused gurnet"

Mississippi Navigation.

The great canal now being con-
structed around the Mississippi rap
ids, at Keokuk, is under full head
way. Major General Wilson, who
overhauled JEFF: Davis, has charge of
the work, for the prosecution OF
which there was an appropriation
made by the last Congress. The ca
nal is to be seven and a half miles
long, from three hundred to four
hundred feet wide, and holds from
six to eight feet of water.
The outside wall will be of earth,
protected by stone rip-rap, will be
ten feet wide on top, with a slope
on the sides of one and one half base
TO one vertical on the outside, and
one and onc>quarter base to one yer,
teal on the inside, and will vary
from eighteen to thirty feet in height
SO as TO carry it above the high wa
ter mark of 1861. There is TO be a
guard lock at the upper end, and
two lift locks, one near the middle,
having lift of eight feet, and one at
Keokuk, lifting ten and three-fourths
feet. The guard lock can also be
used as lit whenever the water in
the river is three or four feet above
low water mark. The locks are to
be $50 feet lorg and so feet wide.
Enough water will be let into the
canal to give flow of one mile per
hour, which will give water~powcr

whole cost of this structure will be
S2,590,O00. The Congressional APP

with several others, went to the Mexi
can quarters, outside Of town, where
in large yard were assembled a
crowded. Mexicans, and many others
who had gathered as spectators. On
one side Of the yard was a small
structure adorned with eyergreens
to represent the stable where Christ
was born. Suspended from high
pole was o lantern TO represent the
star in the East. A large wax doll
on table within the yard was the
emblem Of the Child Jesus. Ten men
representing the shepherds to whom
the angel appeared, according to the
account given in the "a chapter Of
Luke, stood in two rows at one end
of the table having their crooks
adorned with various colored rib.
bons and little bells.
The exercises commenced with
the shepherds singing and striking
their crooks on the ground which
ratified the tiny bells, thus keeping
perfect time. Their songs were
strange and wild, but quite musical.
They had good natural voices and
carried two parts, an alto sixth be-
low the soprano. Soon out came
little boy, having on his shoulders
wings to represent an angel, and
stood by the child Jesus and spoke
something IN Spanish, then thers
came Il large man with biieous

commenced declaiming and trying to
get at the representation Of Christ,
but the little angel kept him away

keeping away the devil, by shaking
his rosary at him. Finally they sues
ceeded in conquering the devil, by
binding his arms so he could not use
them and chained him fast. The ex~
ercises continued nearly three hours
were interspersed with declarations.
The speaking and singing were both
in Spanish, and this language is spokr
en- here nearly as much as the
English. c. r. n.

Senatorial Statistics.
From tho Ksnosha Telegraph.

The Madison Journal, publishes
several columns of interesting polti-
cal statistics, in respect to the sena-
torial elections which have been held
in this state, since the existance OF
state government. The political
party phases Of each year are given,
and the whole makes a paper which
ought to be preserved for future re-
ference. fhe following have been
the United States Senators elected
from this state. The state was ad-
mitted into the Union in May, 1913.
The Legislature of that year elected
two United States Senators, uis -
Henry Dodge, and Isaac =. Walker.
Dodge was nominated on the sixth
ballot and Walker on the fourth !;
beth democrats. The senator's were
so classified that, Dodge held for three
years and Walker one year.
In 1849, the Free Soil party had
become quite formidable, and the
contest for the Senatorship was con-
siderably mixed Isaac p. Walker
then supposed to have Free Soil pro
clivities was elected United Senator
The prevailing sentiment of the
Democratic party at that time, was
decidedly anti-slavery. Before the
adjournment of the legislature which
elected Walker, he was asked by
resolution toresign, for having given
q vote IN the Senate which savOred
Of pro>slavery tendencies.
In 1851, the term Of Henry Dodge
having expired. he was reelected by
u nearly unanimous vote, being
classified Democrat.
In 1855, the Republican and Dem
ocratic parties, We're nearly equally
balanced in the Legislature After
the holding ofseveral caucuses with
out decisive results, Charles Durkee
was at length nominated and elected
as an anti slavery Republican.
In 1857, there was spirited con-
test for Senatorship. Judge Howe
and Judge Doolittle, were the most
prominent candidates. The nom
mating caucus9s had adopted the
oltssCt2oN cIclSht} ISsolulloDS, ulcn
Judge Howe declined to endorse,
and which Judge Doolittle did. Jas
K, Doolittle was elected the success
sor of Henry Dodge,
In 1861, the candidates were I. o.
Howe, q. G. Washbnrn and A, W.
Randall. Howe was nominated on
the ninth ballot in the Republican
caucus, and elected the successor OF
Charles Durkee.
In 1863, James r.. DooIittle was
reelected without decided opposition,
and in 1867, L. o. Howe was re elect
ed, without any organized opposition.

Ritualism DisalloWed.

The highest law court in England
has decided against Ritualism, and
the main point made in the decision
is one that it would seem impossible
to controvert. 1t is this. By the Act
OF Uniformity temp. Els, the SUI
preme law of the Church OF England
prohibits any rite, ceremony, order,
or form which is not mentioned in the
prayer book, and declares void all
prior usages and ordinances" This,
1t will be seen, utterly does away
with the ritualistic plea, that things
not prohibited are permissive. The
London Times rejoices at the decis>
ion, on the ground OF its making the
Book Of Prayer the sole standard Of
form whereas, on the other ground,
the whole body Of Anglican divinity
would no available to justify any
number u peculiar practices it might
suit individual clergymen to hunt
out and apply.
Where Eoglish law prevails this
highly important decision must settle
the question of robes, lights, genu-
lection, and so on and even with
us, where it is only mere matter OF
information, can hardly fail Of pow
erful effect.

sG~ Rev. DR.. Ware, distinguished
Unitarian clergyman, gives it as his
opinion that Methodism, in it's vari-
Gus forms, is to be the religion of the
South-but destined to broaden in
its faith and charity. His own faith,
he adds, has more chance in the West,
where inherited creeds and prejudi,
ces are not as strong as at the South.
He therefore believes in working
with colored Methodists in the South
and his people have done 80 in aid
of the Freedmen.
