SENATOR CAMERON of WiscOn.

reporter that he thought Mr.. Kerr
would be Speaker, that the Resump,
ton act would be unchanged, and
that Mr.. Blaine had the best chance
for the Republican nomin alton for
the Presidency. OF Mr.. Blaine he
said: "Blaine is splendid man,
and wonld make a good President.
He is a man of wonderful good
sense, and during the coming ses.
sion he will make an admirable lead.
er. lie is man that is straight
forward, has mind of his own, and
cannot be easily influenced. He is
very popular, and will increase that
popularity this winter greatly"

TRUTH WILL LAST. That good
old family newspaper, the NEW
YORK OBSERVER, now some fifty
three years old, still holds on to the
old truths which were so firmly ad-
vOcated when it was founded. No
new lights or nineteenth century
doctrines have ever caused it to trip
or make any false step. 1t is always
satisfying in our day, to take up a
newspaper that is sound and reliable,
The OBSERVER comes to us weekly
with variety of reading in addition
to the news, and it is always pure
and healthy-just the paper for a
family. For specimen copies, adj

ONE who has followed the history OF
this country during the last civil war
could not have believed that there had
been re bellion. A visitor at the Con-
federate Congress would have been re-
minded of the men and times when
Robert Toombs was going to call the
roll of his slaves at Bunker Hill. Within
the House was the vacant chair which
was occupied during the last Congress
by the Vice President of the Confederacy,
and which is now reserved for him in
this. John II. Regain, and Postmaster
General Of the Confederacy, was sworn
in as member. There were besides a
score ofpersons who held high places in
the political service of the Confederacy.
The number of those who were COM
PEELED to take the modified oath would q
few years ago have startled the North,
and have been declared impossible. The
Confederate Congress in epitome can
be found in the House of the Forty-fourth
Congress, and those who have been so
long called rebels in the North guard
the door. From tomorrow the approach
es to the hall of the House of Represen-
tatives will be guarded by Lafayette
Fitzhugh, the old Sergeant-at-Arms of
the Confederate Congress. The prayer,
which was omitted to-day, will be spoken
by an Episcopalian rector, who was un-
able in the war days to minister to
church in Connecticut, because he then
refused 10 remember the President OF
the United States in his public prayers,
as his rubric and his bishops commanded,
and the letters will be distributed to
members at the hands .of captain of
Jeb Stuart's cavalry. Things have
changed. ..... nIi, .s.,oI

Boss TWEED STEPS OUT. The
escape of William M. Tweed, re
suit long anticipated, became OH
Saturday an accomplished fact. His
Imprisonment was merely formal,
and though nominally under re-
straint, he has been in the habit,
accompanied by the Warden of
Ludlow street Jail and an assistant,
of visiting his friends, taking his
daily drives and passing much Of
his time with his family in Madison
avenue. There is no doubt that
the plan had been deliberately pre-.
pared; opportunities were frequent,
and the delay was merely to make
success a surety.
Warden Durham, who had charge
of Tweed at the time of his escape,
states that he had been driving with
the ex-chicf of Tammany, and that
they stopped at the residence of
Mr.. Douglass, son-in-law of Mr..
Tweed, where the latter's wife re-
sided. When they entered, Tweed
asked him for permission to 60 up
stairs to see his wife, which was
granted. Tweed then went and
stayed up there about fifteen min
utes, and he (Dunham) becoming
uneasy at his prolonged absence,
sent Tweed's son after him, but on
the latters return he said his IA
Their was not there. The Warden
then rushed to the front door and
looked up and down the street, but
he saw no person resembling Tweed.
The carriage in which they had
come to the house was found to be
where they had left it. Tweed had
taken his hat with him, but had
left his brown overcoat in the hall.
Hogan, the assistant jailor, says he
distinctly saw Tweed go up three
or four steps of the stairs, but is
not certain that he went up the full
flight, The house was searched
from top to bottom, but no trace of
the fugitive was found. At the
back of the house there was other
houses, and to have escaped, Tweed
must have passed through them.
Mr.. Tweed's son was in very ex-
cited condition when he learned of
his fathers escape. He pulled his
hair and exclaimed that he was
ruined, as did also Mr.. Douglass,
the son-in-law. The statement of
Deputy Hogan corroborates the
foregoing. Warden Durham adj
mits having taken Tweed out to
drive some three or four times while
he was in his custody, as Tweed
was complaining of terrible head
ache,

LIHcoLs's ASSASSINATION. -Coloncl
Geo. W. Gayle, the man who offered
sl,00O,O00 for Lincoln's assassination
in 1864, died lately at Selma, Alabama
aged 65 years. He was of more than
ordinary talent. Admitted to the bar
at Cahaba, then the county seat o.
Dallas county, Ala, in 1882, he soor
ranked at the head of his profession
For the last twenty years he had beer
on the down grade, caused by dissipa
ton. He was very eccentric, and was
always playing pranks, In 1864 he
had inserted in the Cahaba Gazette 81, ;.
10000 reward for the assassination o.
Mr.. Lincoln. lie was not worth as
many cents. This reward was moi
over Gayle's signature. But a few
months passed after this before Tho
world was startled by electric flashes
of the terrible deed having been done
Soon the war closed. The editors O
the Cababa Gazette were arrested be
cause of the reward offered in theil
columns. In the examination Gayl,
was found TO be the man who Offered
the reward. Gayle was arrested ant
confined about one year In Fortress
Monroe. He was, however, mainly
through the intercessions of his wife
by President johnson released. Dur
ing his confinement in Fortress Mon
roe be became partially paralyzcd il
his lower limbs, from which he nevel
recovered.

On PICKET DUTY.-General Ord ha.
been entrusted with the command o
that military division embracing
Southern Texas, and the United States
steamer Plymouth has been ordered
to the mouth of the Rio Grandc. Thi:
vessel carries launches, which will
be used in transporting armed crews
to all points on the river where THEN
services may be required to prevent
Mexican robbers and bandit from
crossing the stream and committing
outrages upon American citizens and
their property This looks as il the
authorities at Washington had at last
measured the roal danger OF this Dor
der trouble, and We're determined &c
meet and ord it. The longer thi:
matter is triflcd with, the more diff
cult it will be TO adjust II troops
had been stationed along the Rio
Grandc five years ago in sufficient mum
bcrs TO punish all infractions of treaty
faith aud obligations, there would be
no need of the preparations making ai
the present time. Cortina would not
have raised and organized his band OF
cattle thieves, nor would murders and
robberies be of weekly occurrence,
on the soil of Texas But the river
was practically uncovered on tn,
American side, and that was an invi
tation to the uneasy spirits OF Mexico
which they had eagerly and promptly
embraced. Hundreds of bad mer
passed into Texas, located on ranches
between the Rio Grandc and the Nue
ces, and are there still, acting as aidsand
assistants TO their brother robbers in
Mexico. But if Gen. Ord stations cav.
airy patrols along the river, and steam
launches are constantly on the watch
in the stream, different aud far more
efficient system will be inaugurated.-
Crossing the siver will be q dangerous
venture, and getting back with plum
der still more so.--Phldd'd Times.
