SHANNON HILL,

The most of the farmers have sold their TO-
bacco, and as q general thing are, believe,
we'll satisfied with the prices.
Many lamentations are heard over the
wheat, which, in this neighborhood, does not
promise to be good and much dissatisfac.
ton is expressed over the extremely cold
and bad weather we have had throughout
February-such as to render the prepare
ton of land for oats, &C., and spring work
generally, utterly impracticable. You know
that farmers as class are greatly addicted tc
grumbling, and l assure you no little Of it il
heard.
The depredations of our colored friends
are numerous. A short time ago gentle
man living near this place had his tobacco
house broken open, during bis absence in
the daytime; fire kindled, and corn shell
ed preparatory to being carried of, and also
tobacco taken-thi being done by colored
youth. He absconded before legal measures
could be taken with him. With such be-
ginning he bids fair to find stopping-place
in the penitentiary.
/ see your correspondent from Louisa
mentions parties on new plan, and as being
very pleasant-as doubtless they are; but l
have no festivities to record. Such things
are memories of the past with most Of us,
though if the present good prices Of tobacco
continue we shall yet hope for some Of the
luxlIries and eDjoyments Of ante 'beltttn1
days.
DR.. J. T. HargroEc, of this county, had
his hand rather badly injured by the acct
dental discharge of pistol short time ago.
That more serious damage was not done is 10
be wondered at, for several persons were
standing around.
The health of the community is not good.
Pneumonia is very prevalent, and some cases
have proved fatal. The dogs also have been
grievously afflicted with some kind Of dis
temper, to which many canine favorites have
succumbed. j. q.

The river is yet high, though It fell sew

chief is unprecedented from It, though the
current still courses with unwonted force

to-day to Campbelps bridge to see the

There has been no demonstration made

discuss supposed cases very earnestly, and
inquire of each other, sWhat would

One patriach very much out at the knee and

that he meant to board at one OF the city

and TO live on the finest in the kitchen, and
when they demanded pay ut the end of the

kicked him down stairs, he was going to sue

The train from Weldon did not pass this

Congress Adjourned.

The Forty.third Congress expired Sss'e'-
day at u o'clock, to the general JOY OF tne
nation. The raneors and prejudices lane-
rited from the war had prevented the gene
rous emotions which now actuate the ma
tiopal heart Gradually those rancors have
Welded to better feelings, to sense OF the
national welfare and dignity, and TO ra-
tionaI conception of the grand principle that
the rights of States and people must be pre-
served all over the Union or not at all. Inc
national mind, thus relieved to a great
degree OF blind prejudice and of the unfor-
tunate bias engendered by strife, the people
at last see the dangers which threaten their
country-ths gar!ng usurpations of the Ad-
ministration and the peril Of our republican
institutions. They are, therefore, in happy
mood to hail with JOY the termination of the
existence Of q Congress which was ready to
do so much to subvert the Government and
mainsain the usurpations Of the President.
Therefore never before was there such
general JOY because Congress had expired.
The death of this Congress is the end oil
Radical supremacy. The Radical party has
no recuperstive energy outside Of Force
GRANT Is 70 statesman-he Is mere bull
dog. What he can't carry by force
he can't carry at all. The congress
sionsl ultras who thoroughly sustained
him are baDished from public places

drawal to the retirement they so richly merit.
GRANT will be without support in the next
Congress. lie can do nothing. If be fails
to make bold exercise of usurpea authority
be must subside to the level to which natu-
rally be belongs.
The event which marks the end of the vile
practices OF the Administration, and also OF
the beedess and hesrtless enactmenis sug-
gested by hate and engineered BY that wis.,
bic Satan BUTLER, is oHe that may well make
all honest people jubilant. A worse Con-
gress never lived, and the people are most
heartily and justly glad at it's death.

The Force Bill

is as dead as the Republican party. Ii
was not read at all Wednesday, and of course
was not mentioned yesterday-b being hope.
lcssly dead in reference to the ordinary course
of proceedings This is grand. 1t was the
real measure Of the Administration for the
pro1ongalon of its power. 1t was TO Presi-
dent GRANT self-necessity." If any
thing more than anything else indicates the
utter overthrow Of GIANTS Administration
and the party that sustans it, it is the utter
and ignominious failure Of this bill.
The presidential Office is endowed with
immense. power in its patronage. But it was
not strong enough to pass this abominable
bill. While on tie subject we may remark
that, although the power Of the presidential
patronsge-the power of the oftice-holders,
as it is generally styled-is immense, there is
a counteracting power in the force of the
expectants of office that goes far to protect
the liberties of the country. The dispensing
power of the President Is very bad in its eff.
fects upon the integrity Of the Government ;
but the tempting nature of his favors is so
seductive that an army of oflice-seekers is
readily organized to fight for the "spois -
to turn out the " ms" and capture the warm
and cosy places they have filled.
This negative power of the "outs" may
be supposed to have gone far to paralyze the
GRANT Administration; but, thank God,
there vet remain in this lard o man
hood and a personal independence among
the people that will neither endorse nor
submit TO the tyrannies and barbara
ties of the Administration. We are graft.
fed TO add to these national characteristics
feeling of humanity and fealty to race
that cannot be stifled by the unphilosopbi-
cal and brutal attempt of the party in power
TO force equality where that is impossible
without depravity and degradation of the
grandes: race on earth to a depth of disgrace
even below the level of the African.
The Forty-third Congress ends happily in
the failure of this atrocious force bill, with
its ouirages Of the Constitution and its plain
violation Of the unalterahle prejudces Ut
you willy Of society-nay, with its utter sub
version of the laws Of both God and man.
We repeat that the force bill was the very
"kernel" of the GRANT policy. 1t is dead,
and never can be revived. GRANT. must rise
equal to the emergency which he encounters
in his outrageous schemes, or he must sink
down and acquiesce In the fate he once de.
scribed as BUrLER's being bottled up"
We shalI see.

A Piece Of Radical Rascality.

In the telegram concerning congressional
proceedings published in yesterdays Dispatch
portion of the report that belonged to the
House OF Representatives was by some dis
adventure inserted AS part Of the Senate
proceedings. 1t related to contested elections
from Louisiana. The name Of PINCHBACK
possibly led to the mistake. That individual
has figured largely of late in the proceedings
OF the Senate, and 1t might hsve been con-
Guided that any proceedings with regard to
him must have taken place in the Senate
b.: PINcHBACx had taken chance for seat
in each house.
The case needs explanation. PIsCHBAoK
was candidate for the State of Louisiana at
large for the Lower House of Congress. He
wss opposed by GEORGE A. SHERIDAN, Demo.
crat. PhCHBAcK got the return, but being
elected to the United States Senate hoped to
get seat in that body. But SHERIDAN
claimed the election to the House, and con.
tested the seat there.
In the other case--t the Second Louisiana
district-JAY HALE SYPHER, Pennsylvania
wool.dyed carpet. Dagger Radical, was opposed
by E. LAWRENCE, Democrat. SyrHER got the
return, and LAWRENCE contested his seat.
These two cases were referred to the Com
mittee on Elections at the beginning of the
arst session and on the night before the last
day Of the last session that committee re-
ports that SYPHER and PIHCHBACK were never
elected, and that SHERIDAN and LAwRENcE
were elected and entitled to seats in the
House. SHERIDAN being candidate for the
State at large, it is presumable that his cleo
ton thus declared by the Radicals settles the
question as to KELLoeG's case. KELLOGG was
no doubt utterly defeated. Yet on the very
day SHERIDAN was declared elected Mr..
HoAR's resolution recognizing KELLOGG was
adopted
But the reader will naturally inquire how
did happen that these cases were two years
under consideration, and only settled the very
night before the end Of the session. Radical
yitsiny accounts for 1t, as 1t does for many
other things unaccountable upon any other
ground. LAwRENcg and SHERIDAN would
have given Democratic votes; and it now
appears that the Republican party had no
spare force, With all their numerical p.epon-
aerance, when it came to the passage Of the !!
