DR.. Goshorn, the absconding Postmas-
ter OF Dyersburg, Tenn, has been arrested,
brought & Memphis by the authorities,
and indicted by the United States Grand
Jury.
The United States Supreme Court, Chief
Justice Chase dissenting, has decided that
in the Ku-Klux case, as appealed from the
United States District Court of South Caro-
lima, 1t had no jurisdiction, and, therefore,
could not hear argument on the merits Of
the Enforcement act, or Ku-Klux law, nor on
the question OF its constitutionality.
The Assessors of Internal Revenue are
now sending out blanks upon which the re-
turns Of income tax for 1871 are to be made.
Heretofore persons liable to taxation have
made out their return in general terms, but
under decision of Commissioner Pleasanton
thePAssessors now require every person to
make a return of income and expenses in de-
tail. Those whose incomes do not exceed
g., 900 year would do well to bear in mind
that the consciousness of that fact does not
exempt them from certifying to their incomes
for the past year.
The Select Committee to examine into the
charges made by the editor of the New York
Sun against Secretary Robson met in Wash

Judge DAILY has dismissed the proceedings

that Recorder Hackett had decided that his

A Watertown, N. Y, dispatch of the 21st
says "a severe storm has prevailed in this
region since Tuesday last. Trains are all
snow-bound. No mails for two days. The

frozen up"
BY the destruction of the Ohio Falls Car
Works, at JefHersonville, Ind, on the Goth,
$500 900 worth of property was consumed
and 200 workmen were thrown out of en-
ployment.
The entire business portion of Laurel,
Ind, was burned few nights ago. Both
hotels and printing Office were destroyed.
The loss would reach nearly or quite $3.50, 900.
An express train that left Chicago on the
evening OF the 2Oth on the Pittsburgh, Fort
Wayne q Chicago Railroad, was entirely
destroyed early the next morning, near Fort
Wayne, Ind. The train was thrown from
the track by broken rail, rolled down an
embankment, and, taking fire, was con-
sumed including two baggage cars, one ex-
press car, two passenger coaches and a
sleeping-car, with all their contents. For
tunately, all the passengers escaped serious
injury

Republican Success.

Tm country has had but two Republi-
can Administrations-the four years of
that of Mr.. Lincoln, and three years of
that of General Grant. II is true we had
Republican Congress during he Admin
istration of Andrew Johnson, but its
cry that the party could consider itself
but partially responsible for the acts and
character of the Government in that term.
The Administration of Mr. Lincoln was
charged with the duty Of suppressing an
armed rebellion against the Constitution
and the Union. With what ability and
fidelity it fulfilled its trusts, we need not
say. Its record is one of which no party
need be ashamed. The Administration Of
General Grant was charged with redeem
ing the National debt and establishing our

it does its duty to the country. Has not

"ln the Wrong Pew"

REV. ROBERT CoLLYER "got into the
wrong pew" at Manchester, N. H., the
other evening In other words, he got
into a hall in which Democratic meet.
ing was assembled, instead of the hall
where he was appointed to lecture. The
Boston AdUertiser thus relates the story,
as told by himself on opening his lecture
at the right hall: "He came in late to the
hall with broad smile upon his face,
and when he explained, the audience
smiled also He said he had met with
difficulties since his arrivalin Manchester.
When he reached the Manchester House
he found no lecture committee, but learn
ed the Chairman had been there in search
of him. So he directed the hackman to
drive him to the lecture hall. Arrived at
the hall, he found no committee there to
greet him, but an immense audience; even
aisles were packed. But he had never
before had an audience who kept their
hats on. He made his way to the plat
form, and the audience looked at him,
evidently thinking he was somebody. He
looked at them, and thought it was the
most remarkable lyceum audience he ever
saw. The female portion looked as if
they were natives of Ireland, and the
smen looked as if they came from the
same country too. Presently several
gentlemen came and took seats on the
platform, one or two nodding to him.
Then one got up to introduce the speaker,
but he did not mention his name. He
said he was a resident of South Carolina,
and Mr.. Collyer began to think he did not
mean him; but when he said he would ad-
dress them upon the unadvisability of re-
electng President Grant, he was sure of
it, He then made his escape as soon as
possible, was met by the lecture commit
tee and escorted to the right hall"

One of the most reliable fashion inn

an Alexis polonaise, the waist of which
contains a steel trap concealed by a

1t has often been impressed upon the
minds of little boys that the surest way
of securing their own happiness is to pro-
mote the happiness of others. The rule
is good one, but still there are numerous
exceptions. For instance, there is proba-
bly, nothing that good little boy, or even
a dignifed gentleman, could do that would
excite more pleasurable emotions than to
slip down in a mud-puddle, with his good
clothes on but as a means of securing
happiness to the one meeting with the ac
cident il would be failure. Other in
stances will readily occur to all, such as
slipping down on the ice, having your
garments torn in awkward places, losing
your best hat in high wind, having your
pockets picked, etc, all of which would
be very enjoyable to others, but would
not be worth cent in promoting your
own happiness.-BoStoR Aaoertiser.
