FouRTu CONGRESSIONAL DIsTnIcT.-It seems
TINT Mr.. SIMPSONS chances for admission to Con-
rress are pretty good. The Washington cores.
pondent Of the Charleston Ners writes to that pa'
per as follows
The first thing on tho calendar of the House,
when it reassembles in January, is the contested
election case of Simpson against Wallace, and the
committee intend to call it up rs privileged sues-
tion and have it decided the FIRST week: The com
mittee, pending the actual contest, decided last M
session that, prima Jacta, MIR. Simpson was emu
fled to the sent, and it is understood that they
now Sustain that decision by declaring that he
was legally elected to it. 1t is hard to see how,
even as partisan committee MS this one is, it
could decide otherwise, for Mr.. Simpsons majori-
~ was over four thousand.

"A Washington dispatch to the New York
World says: "The Southern carpet-baggers in
Congress, il is reported, intend to take more
prominent part hereafter. Voting as a body, they
would be able to decide many questions and to ex-
act concessions. II is understood that some Of
them proposeto attempt au organization which
will insist upon q more liberal policy thar has
heretofore been pursued by Congress in respect to
appropriations for the internal improvements in
the South"
- The designs of the new national currency
may be very fine, although to our eye they are
greatly inferior to those with which the public
have become SO, familiar; but every one not di-
rectly interested will agree with the New York
Journal of COMMERCE, that the paper is the vlest
fabric ever used for the frst-class work. 1t is q
shade better in appearance than the specimens of
Confederate currency issued during the war, but
lasts not quite as long, 1t wears to be rough, and
is brittle and tender.
= There is q movement on foot, 10 be developed
as soon as Texas is admitted into the Union, to
create two new States. There are two bills now
before the House Reconstruction Com mittee for
that purpose. One of these proposes 10 detach
that portion of Texas lying west and south of the
Colorado river and to call it the State of Lincoln,
and another provides for the States of Lincoln,
Houston and Texas, to BE carved out of the boun-
daries of the present State.
= General Ames has ordered the Mississippi
Legislature to convene on the 11th of January.
The following officers, elected at the late election,
are appointed provisional officers until their iu-

Lynch (colored) Secretary of State; Henry Mus

Conservatives.
: The Lynchburg Vuginian is informed, that
within the last few weeks lands to the amount of
million and o half of dollars have been sold to
Northern capitalists along the line of the 0hesa-

pEArH OF MR. MILFORD BURRIss.

This sad event occurred OF his residence IN TINS
town on the 25th of December last. Mr.. BURRIss
had IN attack of apoplsxy and paralysis combined
on Friday, of the week previous to his death, and
never. spoke afterwards. He fingered in this con-
dtion until Christmas day, when his spirit passed
from earth. He was an upright and honest citi-
zen, and highly respected bylall who knew him.
He had been successfully engaged in planting for
a number Of years, and recently moved to this
p,ace for the purpose of giving closer attention to
his mercantile interests. He was member OF the
Baptist church, and gave evidence before his
death that his faith was well founded.

BIT OF HrsronY.-The New York Sun (Radi-
cal) publishes the following from its Washington
correspondent, showing how things are managed
in this State under the Radical administration
The rascalties of the carpet-bag governments
in the South exceed ordinary endurance Take
South Carolina as an example. The notes OF the
old State Bank were bought up by gang of spec
ulntors Mt II or Is cents on the dollar Ihat
dome, they went to the Legislature and put oill
through funding these notes in State bonds; by BY
which their worthless rags were converted I'M, INTO
valmes lines worth FIVE or six times what they paid.
Th;s Iood was saddlcd on the back of property
already m W crushed down by exOrbiant taxation, ..;o
Encouraged by one success, the same parties,
combined With others, now propose to have the
interest ON these bonds paid in coin, or in other
words to enhance the value Of the speculation by
twenty Or thirty cent at the cost Of # the nslf Sp
The '' principal authorities of the State are the
movers in these transactions, and have filled their
pockets By such base frauds. They treat the

New ENGLAND IN CoSonEss-A Washington

NEW ENGLAND IN CoNGREss.-A washington
letter to the Baltimore Gazette says:
Last week Mr. Cullom, of Illinois, in speech
leyclled at the unrighteous predominance OF New
ENGLAND in the councils of the nation, innocently
enough alluded to the fact that the six New Eng
land States, with population less, by half mil
lion, than that of New York, tpelUe Senator's TO her
t,ro If the honorable gentleman had taken o
peep into the Congressional Directory, recently
nrepared by Mr.. Ben Perley Poore, he would have
discovered that Yankeedom has just precisely
double that number Twelve of them represent
New England confessedy, and twelve others (car-
pet-baggcrs) nominally represent other States at
The South and West, but are LativeS of, and really
represent their "fatherand" on all important
questions There are in the present Senate hve
natives of Massachusetts; six of Vermont; 1our
Of Maine; four of New Hampshire; three OF
Connecticut, and two of Rhode Island. And 1t IS
n very suggestive fact, in contrast with this exhi
hilton. that not solitary Senator from New Eng
land but is a native of that soil. Iney hGre no
carpet-bag representatives. :.
Before altering the constitution in the only par-
ticular which that instrument expressly declares
shall never be altered by any process, (Which MIR.
Cullom threatens) it would be well for the ''grow-
ing West" to begin to put it's own house IN order,
by inuuiring whether it makes any difference
whether New England representative Shall De
elected by tho Legislature of Massachusetts or
any one of the Western States. 1t is at the OPP
ton of the West and South now to diminish the
mower of New England in the Senate one-hat.
This would be good beginning in the'way of re-
form. Mr.. Cullom's own State is represented IN
the Senate solely by carpet-baggers. Pray, could
MIR. Trumbull more efficiently represent the Radl-
calls of Connecticut than he now does, if his Gre
dentials were sent here by the Governor Of that
State at the behest of its Legislature, instead OF
the authorities of Illinois? People make distinc-
tions sometimes without differences.

of this State The members of the Bar and the

and Judge Pfcrrepont, of New York, and Senator
Trumbul, of Illinois, are spoken of as successors
of MIR. Stanton on the Supreme Bench. AS New

desired TO return 10 the form church government
Of the early ages and the East which the Patriarch
OF ConsIantinople very apty termed tho "UnIted

IDEAS or Bohemia OF to-day the only difference being
that communion with Rome being impossible, IN
case the dogma of inallibiity is proclaimed commu-
mon with tile East Will be established.
The Eastern churches having hitherto attracted
but little attention Win now acquire great prom-
nence. Under the leadership OF such men as Prince
SchwartZenberg and Bishop Strossmeer It is not to
be supposed that the Czechs and CrOats Will accept
the infallibity and It's consequences
The dogma OF the nfalibllity Is to be rich In
results. but scarcely OF the character expected ut
Rome.
INDEPENDENT CHURCHES.
:, A Few months may sunlce to see all the East or
europe forming group OF independent churches or
the same communion. preserving everything or
Cathoiicty except what has been introduced into 1t
by PaDal assumption and aggression. Then the mo-
ment may appear when q union between the East
ana West can be effected, and Christianity instead
OF dividing nations may tend to bring them into bet
ter relations and Instead Of inspiring with ha-
tred and distrust may inspire them with feelings Of
brotherhood and liberation.

HEALTH IN TEXAS.
AS to health, those who settle on low, 1at lands
and use creek water are liable TO chills and fevers.
In the coast cities people are liable to yellow
fever; but, upon the whole, Texas Is a remarkably
healthy State. The hly regions of West Texas
cannot be excelled for health on this Continent
Those who use cistern water and are prudent and
careful are healthy in any part of the State.
For the past three or four weeks we have beer
enjoying green corn, green peas and most other
kinds Of vegetables, apples, &c. The first beauti-
ful, large, luscious, juicy, red, ripe peaches ar
rived in Houston from Brenham, Washington
county, on the Sth of June this year. They are a
splendid variety The late frosts this year did bat
little damage to the fruit crops, aud an immense
yield is expected.
