peace and dignity of the State. Casey
4 Young is elected to Congress by some
$500 majority, perhaps more. The Leg
islative ticket is all elected, and by such
a decided majority that Radicalism will
hsnceforth have to appear under its OWE
banner, and not with stolen name AS
to general results, Porter is elected by
perhaps 10000 majority. That has been
foregone conclusion ever since his
nomination. Tennessee will be rep
resented by nine, if not ten, Demo-
cratic and Conservative members in
the Forty-fourth Congress. The best
news of all comes from the down-trodden
State of Louisiana, which has elected
five Democratic Congressman and ma
jori.y Of Democrats or Conservatives to
both houses Of the Legislature. We can
hardly understand at this great distance
how so great change could be wrought
in so short time when the military
force of the Government was freely used
to intimidste the people aud interfere
with them in their local affairs. Pinch
back, voted colored leader, became
disguised with the carpet baggers and
threw his influence with the owners of
the soil. In the hour of Louisianas
disenthrallment her ancient enemy and
Ben Butler, is repudiated
and made to stand aside for a
Democrat in the far distant State
of Massachusetts,. The belt of light
ming that cleft apart her shaekles
set the mark of Cain upon his ill'visaged |
brow. Retribution has at last overtaken
him, as it fell upon the yelled
prophet of Khorrissan. This is the an

lock. and the people spring up to assert
enee more that resistance to tyrants is
obedience TO God" Parties and names
are as csst-off garments, when their
rights, liberties and fortunes are
endangered. This is perhaps the
greatest political revelation in the
history of the country When the
votes are all counted it viii in al probs
bility be seen that change OF 1850. 600
has been made since Grants election in
1872. This means that the war is over,
that its issues are settled. that all its
prejudices shall be buried, and that
sense Of Justice is returning 10 the great
public mind. The gains made for Con-
gress will perhaps give the Democrats a
majority for the first time in seventeen
years. In the flush Of success let US be
coneiliatory and worthy ofthe
advantages thus gained Let the Demo

WAsHIScTox, November A. From
1861 to 1870 General O o. Howard 10
vested over three hundred thousand dol
lars in Government bonds and used the
interest increased from such bonds in
payment Of bona fde claims in order to
make up a deficit in the public lands
caused by the payment of fraudulent
claims. Attorney General Williams, to
whom was submitted certain questions in
regard to the responsibility Of Generals
Howard and Bullock for such use Of
public moneys, states that criminal pros
ecution against them is not barred by
limitations imposed by the statutes. bat
they still remain civilly liable, and suits
may be begun against them to recover.
Whatever money may be recovered
should be turned into the treasury in the
same manner as is money recovered
from delinquent officers in other cases.

The Reasons why

Dooley's Yeast Powder is preferred to
any othcr baking powder in market, are
owing to its perfect purity, quantity and
economy. The Ingredients are strictly
free from deleterious substances, and
hence the full strength of each are OBJ
tanned, and the results are uniform
every time it is used. This cannot be
the case in those Of ordinary manufac-
tpre, and for proof of our assertion we
simply ask those who have never used
