THE ANGLo-AMERICAN FURRY 49,
There is much bad blood between the
Americans and the English at Paris grow
ing out of the disputes between their re-
spective countries. A stalwart American
from the South, with an English FRIEND
and two women, had private box at the
last opera ball. During the progress of
the festivities the two cavaliers got into
n dispute over the Alabama Claims. and

which dtslocsted his shoulder. The vo-
men shrieked, the guards burst in the
door, while the victor ceplIy gave his arm
to the disabled BritoJ, helped him into q
carriage, and returned, master of the fie d
and OF both the ladies. BIT perhaps the
''rsngest part ut the story is yet to be
told. The American champion is not
only native of the South, but he was
also for fur years the most violent of
sccessIonlstS. He seems to be pretty well
- constructed, and the same NAV be said

The Meeting ofConsress.

w ASHlNGTON, Dec. 20 :
The third session of the Forty-sccond
Congress opened to-day under the most
favorable auspices. At an early hour
the assemblage of Senators and mem
bers in their respective halls showed that
there was more than q quorum of both
houses. Everybody was in the best of
humor, and the cordial greetings among
the members separated since the close Of
the last session extended TO political op-
ponents assweIEors political and personal
friends.
The hall of the Hodse'was, as isl asnal
on such occasions, -the scene of special
interest and attraction. The galleries
were crowded with an assembly drawn
thither by an indefnable curiosity. In
the ladies' gallery there was brilliant
display of the fashions of the season.
There was also fair representation of
the diplomatic corps. The scene was
enlivoned 10y the general handshaking and
greeting, which seemed to be the order
of tho hour ..
q The aspcritics and bitterness growing
out ofthe late political campaign appeared
to have been entirely forgotten Similar
scenes were enacted in the Senate. though
that body always presents q quieter, aud
more dignified appearance than the lower
branch. Altogether the opening has been
marked by unusual good feeling among
the members, Republicans, Democrats and
Liberals alike mingling together with as
much freedom and good humor as if they
all belonged to common political organiza-
ton. ~ .

On Sunday morning Swede came TO
Milton from the other side of the river, who
had been severely handled. He was shot
in the right leg, three buckshot having been
lodged in the thigh. 1t appears from cur
rent report, land this is all we have, as
nothing can be got from the Swede. owing
to the want of an interpreter) that the man
was wandering around from house to house
on the opposite side of the river, on Satur-
day evening, and 1t is now supposed was
in search of something to eat He came to
the Hoffman place, just above Datesman's
store, West Milton and not being able to
make himself understood, his conduct was
looked upon as suspicious and he was told
to leave. Probably not understanding, he
did not obey, and finally one of the men on
the farm took up shot gun and fired the
contents into the unfortunate man, with
the result above stated. He was received
by the Milton authorities and every atten-
ton paid to his wound and wants. The
general feeling here is that the action of the
party who fired on the man was hasty in
the extreme. There will probably be an
investigation of the affair. 1Niltonian. ,

THE POSTAL TELEGRAPH.--We, trust
and hope that the whole country press will
urge the passage Of the bill recommended
by the Postmaster General. The monop-
oliots Of the telegraph have united with
many Of the leading city papers to prevent
ITS passage, and we are surprised to see
such Journals as the New York Tribune
among them. They have motive in sus.
taining the monopoly and keeping out the
country press. The telegraph, 50 far as
the country is concerned, is twenty years
bshind the age. The expenses of telegraph
ing arc greater and the facilities less thnn
they were when the system was first intro
dueed.. The Western Union Line now
outragcs and robs the community whenever
1t is in their power TO do So Wherever
there is no competing line, their rates are
almost double. This is so in this section,
and we presume elsewhere. Tho rates, in
this place, for years have been almost pro.
bibitory. There can be no objection
against the government assuming the con-
troll of the telegraph that cannot be urged
also in regard TO the Post Office, and the
objectioLs made are hardly worthy of con-
sideration. The opposition to cheap post
age 'io,merly, though absurd, was more
respectable because more honest
