the sOutb-Kellogg's Recognition
Determined Upon.
Special TO the Cincinnati Gazette.
WASHINGTON, Dec. ga portion of
the caucus committee of the Senate on
Southern affairs met Tuesday, but no dei
mite action could be taken for want Of a
quorum. There will be full agreement to
recognize the kellogg Government. This
point is already settled in the resolution
re. ting to Pinckback. There is very deep
feeling among all members of the commit
tee in regard TO State affairs jim the South,
and quite number are openly in favor Of
formally calling on the President, by
resolution, to suspend the writ Of habeas
corpus in the several sections Of the South,
and arrest and try murdereIs, wherever
found, By the military authorities.
The decision Of Judge Bradley, by which
the enforcement act has been stripped of the
very power over persons which Congress
intended to give, is openly characterized by
some prominent members Of the Senate as
worse than the Dred Scott decision. The
exact manner in which the perpetrators Of
crime against person can be dealt with by
the United States, the Senate Committee
finds, under the circumstances, most diff
Clllt 4ucSllOD W UcCAIcs Jul buC lCChA7 -
almost unanimous that, in some way, the
Government must reach the case, and pro-
tect life in the South or stand disgrace.
The President is inearnest abOutthis mat
ter, and, in some way, intends to reach the
perpetrators of these crimes and bring them
to punishment. The matter was discussed
at length in the Cabinet, and the Attorney
General urged immediate and prompt ac-
ton.
The understanding among Republican
Senators is that the Presideht, in view OF
the caucus resolution, adopted in regard TO
the Pinchback case, will feel fully author
lied in proceeding in the Louisiana matter
upon the hypothesis that the Senate has
definitely recognized the kellogg govern
ment. 1t is now well known that the in
tentiOn of the caucus was to so frame a
resolution in the Pinchback case as TO i'm
ply full recognition of Gov. kellogg, ,'and
as all Republican Senator'S are bound to
stand by this resolution, thus insuring its
passage in the Senate, it is regarded by tie
Senators Of the majority that the President
is as fully authorized in proceeding in any
emergency that may arise, as if kellogg
had received formal endorsement.

An Ohio Girl Pleads Guilty of Burg
larry In order TO be Near Her Lover
Columbus, Ohio, Correspondent or the Cincin-
natl Commercial.
4 remarkable case Of true love has come
to light in the Penitentiary tha. las a TO-
mantle twinge to it. In May, 1873, ThOs.
Miles and Anna Mcfarland were sent 20
the prison from Licking county, for burg
larry, under the same sentence. Not long
since, the woman asked a guard about
Thomas, wanting 10 know how soon he
would get out. On inquiry OF her, it was
learned that they were engaged to be
married before coming 20 the prison,
and that she was not really guilty CT
burglary, but pleaded guilty, that she might
be allowed TO suffer with her lover. Sic
told the guard that if Thomas was still true,
she would marry him when they got out.
Thomas was interviewed, and he was still
true to his Anna The prison authorities
were moved at the situation, apd allowed
them an interview, which is said to have
been quite an affecting scene Their terms
expire on the same day-SaturCay, Jan.
81, 1875. Il has been arranged, at their
request, to hold the ceremony in the prisC n
chapel on the day Of their discharge. The
Chaplain viii perform the ceremony. Tie
TWAIN will start out with freedom again as
one flesh, after two years confinement
within the same walls, with but one inter
view in that time. It may be added that
both have been exemplary prisoners.

STATE OF THE WHEAT MARKET.

The features II our wheat market the
past week have presented a pleasing con-
trast to those ofthe preceding week. The
more favorable adviees from Europe advert
ed 70 at the close of Ouf last review and
still later adviees thence of a similar char
acter. have given quite an impulse to the
market, stimulating the export demand
very materially, and but for the scarcity Of
tonnage, a much larger business v OUld have
resulted. The demand has been chiefly
confined to No. , spring. and has been
mainly TO fill English orders. The Centi-
mental orders generally cannot be filled, as
there is no steamer room here. The latest
adj ices from France, Germany and Italy
are rather important; prices continue to ad-
vance, which is contrary to the general ex-
pectation, and this to us is conclusive proof
that they have no considerable surplus for
export. Their stocks Of old were exhaust
ed ere the beginning Of September, and
with very short crops Of coarse grains and
vegetables, the consumption Of wheat has
been unusually large, and much
larger quantity than usual has been
fed to cattle, and the same
is true Of Great Britain. The stocks Of
grain at Glasgow, Bristol, Liverpool, Lon
don, etc, etc, are light, and prices much
below those current last year; hence the
has proved very large indeed,
absorbing their excessive imports rapidly;
hence instead Of large supplies We find
them quite limited. It IS verJ evident
that farmers on the continent are very slow
to part with whatever surplus they may
have, but the later adviees from all parts cf
Europe very conclusively prove that their
surplus has been Uverestimated. The ab-
sence of the usual supplies at English ports
from Morocco and Australia is much felt,
and all our surplus spring now here is like
Iy to be wanted ere the lst Of May at En-
glish and Continental potts. We have no
surplus Of winter wheat OF moment, nor
are we likely to lave much during the win
ter. unless prices advance materially.
There is so little confidence in the integrity
and honorable dealing Of our railway compa-
nies that interior merchants are deferred
from shipping freely to the seaboard, and
only under careful stipulations, and in
large quantities, which command prompt
attention. We regard the prospect for
wheat as decidedly more hopeful than ear
ly in the month.

The uns&vOry Mordaunt divorce case in
London, which threatened to be reOpened,
is to be disposed Of in silence, Lady Nor
daunt's father, as her representative, having
decided not to defend the suit, so that her
husband will obtain his divorce upon
making, through his counsel a general
statement Of his case. This is the case in
which the. Prince Of Wales was mixed up on
the first trial, being one Of five who were
charged with adultery with the lady; the
Prince and two others swore that there was
no truth in the allegations, but the other
two were afraid to undergo an examination.
In the present suit only one man, Lord
Cole, was charged with adultery, but he re-
fused to appear in court, and so the lady's
lawyers had TO let the case 20 by default.
The lady herself has been for long time
insane.

AMENITIES OF CINCINNATI JOUR-

Thus the fiery Cockerill Of the Enquirer.
The gray-haired, pOt-bellied bufiOon Of
the Cincinnati Commercial, whose ele-
phantine gambols and stale witticisms have
about placed that once valuable newspaper
on a level with Joe Miller's jest Book, has
provoked the ire of the gallant editor Of the
Louisville COulrieT-,JOlTnGl. Mr.. Waiter
son is a humOrist, too; but in the article
which we reproduce elsewhere, he drops
the cap and bells to draw a striking like
ness Of the slanderous, fOul-tOngued, envi-
Gus. lying Halstead. 1t will be recognized
in this latitude.
Thus, the gentle Haistead Of the Commercially
The young proprietor of the Enquirer,
whose commanding talents and beauty
have placed him in the front rank OF our
profession, and who is already looked upon
as an example, fails in that fine department
which so handsomely distinguishes him,
when he treats with the exuberant rhetoric
that his genius inspires, those physical de-
velOpments in others that the world recOg-
nizes as the consolidated evidence of too
many good things consumed. Now, the term
s'pOt-bellied," if we may be permitted an
illustration, is barely polite, and it must
be harTassing and distressing to the afflicted
who are haunted by it as descriptive Of
their woes. Few men are so favored as
this young man with native grace and hap
py fortune. Few like him fill at once their
hats and boots with equal masses of bOny
matter and muscular integuments; but even
he, as the gliding years envelOp him in the
delicate tissues Of his own personality, may
come to discover, glancing beyond the snowy
surface next his heart, the curved lines be-
low the belt that tell Of days well spent
with sumptuous fare and nights of rene
repOSe. In such an hour he would reDent
the hasty use Of indecOrOus epithets about
circumstances not inconsistent with right
eOusness, and the wanton waste upon the
desert air Of the sweetness of serviceable
adjectives. We would oherish this young
man, who is a public boon raised up for
some work of extraordinary benefceneei
and though his manly form and classical
features are so familiar that the matter Is
hardly worth mentioning, we will say that
every winning smile that shines from his
intellectual cOuntenance refutes the sinister
assertion that he resembles a flea-bitten
and loP-eared bull-pup with glass eye.

weeks since, the miners employed

hundred of the latter, some OF them armed,
appeared at the mines and demanded that
work be suspended. The President Of the
Company has applied to the Governor for
