Nat. Harrison, attorney at law at Den
yer, has twice written to Judge Clough, de-
handing satisfaction for having been chargs
ed by the Judge in Court with intentional
perversion Of facts in preparation of case
and as the Judge has made no reply to eth,
er demand, Mr.. Harrison blows off steam
in the Denver Herald that the Judge is no
gentleman, or words to that effect -Chica-

Judge Nat. demands satisfaction for much
smaller charges in Denver than those he
failed to demand but got satisfaction for in

have said, and here repeat it, that despnir
not of the restoration Of CUR liberties They
are not ours they are equally the liberties
of the people of the North and South,
and when they at the North see that
laws are made for their oppression, do you
| not believe that the men who have descen.
ded from revolutionary sires will raise their
voice against them Do you not believe
| that when they come to look calmly upon
the question between che North and the
South they will form parties ana platforms
upon which you can stand ? And when that
| hour comes then will come the fulfllment of
the promised era Of constitutional liberty,
which so confidently anticipate and hope
for today. [ may not live to see it, bit if
l do not, I shall die confidently believing
that it will come. I know, my friends, that
in this run counter to the feelings that
are prevalent in different portions of our
country, but I believe this is the true policy
for the south to pursue at present. The
South cannot hasten the dag Of her deliver
ance by attempting to assume leading
part in the politics Of the country to-day
Let her people quietly and earnestly devote
| themselves to the work Of improving and
building Up their material prosperity, leav-
ing those who havs the power to settle these
questions among Themselves, amply saying
to them "We know our rights-know they
are invaded =" and then wait patiently until
we see them divided and at issue with them
selves, and then join the party and support
the candidate and the platform that promises
a RESTORATION of constitutional liberty. 1t is
then that you will hold tug BALANCE OF polit-
| ical power in your own hands, and it is then
that all your ghts will once more be restored
and guaranteed. Applause

CONGRESSIONAL.

WASHINGTON, February 25.-HOltSe.
Mr.. Hooper. chairman of the Com
mittee on Ways aud Means, presented
letter from Mr.. PleassntOn, Com
missioner o Internal Revenue, stating
that in view of the action taken by
| the Senate and Committee on Ways
and Means of the House, looking to a
repeal of the income tax, he had
naturally delayed till the last moment
authorizing any expense in connection
with the assessment of that tax; but
that longer delay was impossible. He
therefore urged that the action of the
House be pressed to an immediate
conclusion.
Mr.. Conger, from the Committee
on Commerce, reported back the
Senate bill to amend an act to estab-
lish the New Orleans, Mobile and
Chattanooga railroad as a post road.
Passed.
A resolution was introduced and
adopted, allowing Mrs. Leftwich,
widow of DR.. J. w. LeitWich, s., 500
tor expenses incurred by her husband
in contesting the membership from
the Eighth (MemphisEDistrict Of Ten
nessee in 1868.
The House resumed the cOnsidera-
ton the omnibus appropriation bill.
The item of six millions for indemni-
ty to the States for expenses incurred
in enrolling and subsisting troops
for the defense of the United States
during the late insurreCtiOn, was
struck out on the point of order as not
being properly in order in the apprO-
DriatiOn bill.
A like disposition was made in the
item of S85O,000 for the payment of
horses and other property lost in the
military service of the United States.
An item of $500, 600 was inserted for
works in the League Island Navy
Yard.
The House adjourned.
iSeadte.-The credentials of Thomas
White Ferry, from March 4th, were
presented.
A bill to revise, consolidate and
amend the statutes relating to patents
and copyrights, passed.
House bill providing for the cele-
bratiOn of the hundredth anniversary
of American independence, passed.
A committee of conference was
ordered on the South Pacific railroad
bill.
The Senate took up the postofice
appropriation bill and discussed vari-
Gus usamendments. The clause making
appropriation for postage and stamped
envelOps was amended 50 as to pro-
hibit any engraving or lithOgraphing
on the envelOp or any other printing
than the request to return the letter
if not called for to the address Of the
writer, and also prohibiting any per-
son who has been detected in frauds
on the Government fIOm bidding for
furnishing enVelOps.

Father, love the same Savior, partake
of the same Spirit, and seek to enter,
though by different gates, the same
Celestial City, the Throne in the

all the pure in heart. Let us then
cherish the charitable hope that when
these thick fOg5 OF time, looking
through which we so often mlsjudge

The south Carolina Bigamist.

Mrs. c. q. Bowen, formerly Mrs.
Petigru King, has written a letter to
the Chronicle, implOring protection
from the persecution which her hus-
band Is subjected TO. In reference to
her husband, she says: " He had not
concealed his antecedents from me. 1
know that he had been an orphan
bov. without relations or friends, had
drifted into the company Of gamblers
and prostitutes, and had lived their
life until it had pleased the good God
TO lift him from the mire, and TO stir
within him the spirit Of reformation
and publication"
In closing her letter she says the
reason why the public ought to extend
Taisef is. that "the persecution takes
evarv shape. Murder, arson, forgery
and burg'9ry are added to the charges
- bigamv. The most ridiculOUsly
gbastly stories cre grayely inserted In
nc newsDspers bS order OF one per
son Warrants are issued on his sole
testimony again and again, aud We
shall be reduced to abject poverty Dy
legal requisitions. My life is harassed'
my health undermined, my reason
totters, and I lie at the mercy OF a Vli-
lain whose very cOuntenance shOulu
inspire disbelief and mistrust."

NEW YORK, February 25.-Theim-
pending coal famine is still the upper
most topic of conversation. Serious
apprehensions are entertained of riot
among the wOrkmen. All the blame
is thrown upon the artisans, who, on
the contrary, claim that the scarcity
of coal is merely the result of an at
tempt to starve them into abject sub
mission, and render their condition
worse than slavery. 1t is stated that
between this city and Rutherford
Park, New Jersey, there are more
than two miles Of cars filed with coal,
on the Delaware and Lackawana Rail-
road, and that this has been the case
for month. Why coal remains there
is not explained.
