OUR CHRISTMAS TURKEY.-We
knew he was coming! We were
just as sure that some good, kind
friend was going to send us that
go1bler as we were certain that on
Christmas day we would have an
appetite to do justice to the donors
generosity and the turkeys excel
lence, and sure enough, he is al
ready up fattening, and will be in
in time as we were kindly informed
by one of our most esteemed friends
and patrons. We shan't tell you
who he is, gentle reader, but you
may guess when we tell you that
he led the Rapides boys at Colfax,
lives in the Pincwoods, is going to
be our lher-oh, we forgot ! and
that he is universally admired as a
noble, chivalrous getlcman, " with
out fear and without reproach."
Who wouldn't be an Editor and
have such friends and get such
turkeys!

CHRISTMAS PREsENTs.-Christ-
mas is a time when every one wish
es to make presents to those who
are best loved. In many cases the
elegance and value of the present
is a token Of how much the recip.
lent is held in the esteem Of the
donor. 1t is not always possible
to find just what one desires for an
elegant present and we feel that we
are doing those who propose max
ing such presents a favor by in,
forming them that DR.. Henry st.
John, has just returned from New
Orleans with a charming stock Of
beautiful Books, Toilet Sets, Writ
ing Desks, Elegant China Ware,
Toys and Dolls and in fact, every
thing suitable for the OCCASION
The Doctor makes a speciality OF
keeping only the very best of eve
ry thing and what he sells is SO
guaranteed.
Examine his collection of Christ
mas presents before buying else
where.

The Returning Board was called
to order at half past IL o'clock, all

Wells said that urgent business re.

ness or questions which would come
before them in order Monday.
No objection to Sabbath meeting
being made-none # the members

church engagements to fulill-the
Board stood adjourned.
This important business dodge on
the part Of Wells is altogether too
attenuated. He is conscious of hav-

WASHINGTON, Dec. 12.-In the dis

among the various committees of the
House on Wednesday, the portion Of
it referring to the troubles in Arkan-
sas was referred to the select commit

and that portion Of the message re-
latlng to the troubles in Louisiana.
and the Southern States,% excepting
Arkansas, was referred to select
committee OF seven. to be appointed
by the Speaker.
The committee has mot yet been
appointed. 1t is very probable that
after it has been appointed and or.
ganized, it will proceed to take testi-
mony through subcommittee or
otherwise, in relation to the disturb
ed condition Of affairs in Mississippi
and Louisiana. OF course any an

WAsnINoros, Dec 12.-Governor
Throckmorton, of Texas, is here.
The contest for Judge Dnrell's
place lies with Morgan, Beckwith and
Pardee. The probabilities favor
Pardee, who is urged by Gen. Shel-

New Orleans. Morgan is urged by
Secretary Fish and prominent people
Of New York and Pennsylvania.
Beckwith has the support OF Gov.
Kellogg. The question OF clerkship
enters largely into the fight.

DEAR SlR-While in New Or.
leans, my attention was called to
the case Of the United States vs. our
Colfax friends. / had consultations
with both Mr.. MARI and Mr.. Whit.
aker, and learned that the case had
been set for March. Mr.. Mari is
anxious to 60 on to Washington
and argue the case, but says he
cannot afford to 20 unless his ex.
penses are paid. He asks no fee or
reward for his services, but only
that he be furnished with funds to
carry him to Washington and ena-
BILE him to live there as gentle
IN an, and a representative Of the
people in SO important q case,
should live while in attendance up.
on the Court.
Mr.. Whitaker has all the facts,
and is willing to superintend and
put them in shape, if a stenograpll
er is employed for that purpose. =
Both these gentlemen are deeply
interested; and l do not think the
Importance Of the Colfax case can
be overestimated by our people, not
only as affecting us personally, and
for our immediate friends, but as
affecting the whole country.
Indeed it is the case Of the South,
involving as it does the entire doc.
trine Of Capitalization and States
Rights; settling the question as to
how far the United States may in
terfele to arrest and punish citi
zcns of a State for infractions of the
law which were punishable by the
State through its own Courts No
more important question has been
presented to our highest tribunal
since tho close of the war. And it
is of the first importance that we
should be ably represented in tie
matter. Unless we take some &C.
ton the case may 60 against us for
want Of an advocate. No better or
ADLER man could represent us than
Il. Fl. MARI, and l know that you
will feel the imp0tance Of at ouce
calling the attention Of our people
to this matter. The Democrat, too,
will join in the good work.
/ would suggest that meeting
be called and a committee appoint
ed to wait upon our merchants in
this their flush and busy season
and upon the indicted persons, to
strain a point and give something.
And indeed upon every one in the
community, for We are all concern
ed. And let us raise as near $1,000
as possible. 1t ought to be fully
that. 1t might be sufficient to call
attention to tho case and request
contributions to be sent in. Surely
our people only want the matte,
brought to their notice. Mr.. Mari
informed me that he had received
4G1 90. No time should be lost, but
immediate steps. taken.
Yours Truly,
JAMES JEFFEIES.

their large stock Of Jcwclry, toys
etc, ready for Christmas and the
array is sufficient to tempt the
most fastidnous III the Jewelry line
and the little folks are all crazy
over the big dolls, horses and car
riages and the thousand and one
attractive toys that so delight them
If Santa Claus buys his toys this
year from Ferguson & Schnack he
will make some elegant presents to
the little ones. We are writing for
his special benefit and we can
truthtully assure the old gentleman
that he can not do better than to
go right there and lay in his sup
ply towards which SO many little
eager eyes are now eypcctingly
looking. In supplying everything
for the children they did not for
get the claims OF the Older heads
and they have on exhibition select
presents for Mother, Father, Sis
ter or Sweet heart and sell them at
reasonable prices.
Az there will be a great rush,
purchasers should pay them a visit

choice of their many pretty things.

Ex-senator Doolittle says Whatever may
be said in criticism OF Mr.. Johnson's public
courss,all parties agree that the White House
was never more gracefully kept and presid-
ed over than by his daughter, Mrs. Patter-
son--a project lady, model Of republican
mistress of the White House.
Let me tell fact which has never been
published, but which had from the lady's
own lips. just BIS che was about to leave,at
the end OF MIR. Johnson's administration,
the steward ofthe house took an inventory,
and found that not one article OF furniture
was missing or brokeuj not sheet, towel
or napkin was lost; and the house was in
perfect order from top to bottom. She told
me another fact, which know the wives
aud daughters OF the farmers az Wisconsin
will be glad 10 hear. y
When they went into the White House
| she purchased Two excellent cows. From
| the milk of these cows she made all the but.
ter, used all the cream and made oil the ice
cream used in the Presidents family during
his term. When she went home she shipped
these cows to Tepnesiee. Is itany wonder
ladies, that Mrs. Patterson recsived the fra
premium on butter at thelc late fair, LAS

The manner Ia which the Republican
