A special telegram, dated Nashville,
Tenn, January 26th, says:
Many business houses were illumi-
mated tonight IN honor Of Johnsons
election, and there was speaking on the
public square, beginning at 1880. An
hour before the time announced crowds
began to gather at the principal stand,
which was decked with large flags and
ornamented with gas jets and tricolored
globes. The carriage containing Sena-
tor-elect Johnson, Colonel Colyar, an
Confederate Congressman, and the
Republican candidate for next Govern
or, ex-Congressman George Jones and
Representative Hodges, reached the
stand. and the solid mass OF human be-
incs was so dense that the carriage
could hardly force its way through.
The inmates were taken from the car
riage and lifted bodily upon the stand
Mr.. johnson was introduced by Con
gresham Jones, and spoke for an hour
lie said that he considered that his
election was triumph for the whole
people of the State. He hoped the

Four MEN AND TEAMS ENGULp

-Four MEN AND TEAMS ENGULPHED.
Three teams, in charge of four men
were seen crossing the Missouri on the
ice, from the Iowa to the Nebraska
side Tuesday, and when about half way
across the horses, and wagons and the
men suddenly disappeared and were
swept under by the rapid current. 1t is
not yet ascertained who the unfortunate
men We're. The general opinion is that
the party drove over place from which
the ice had recently been cut, and which
was only slightly frozen over.

A MYSTERIOUS RoBBERY-The New
York Times, of Saturday, published a
report that large company had been
robbed Of 100000. A dispatch from
New York says: at is thought that
the report had its origin in loss of bonds
which were recently stolen from the
Adams Express Company at some point
between Columbus, S. G., and this city.
Another dispatch says: 1t is now
stated that about a week ago one Of the
Adams Express Company's drivers went
to Jersey City and received from one
of the railroad companies nineteen safes
for which he gave a receipt. He brought
them to the companys store-house, in
New.Y DIRK, and, as he alleges, delivered
the whole nineteen safes to an official,
obtaining receipt for the same. Sub
quently it was discovered that one OF
the safes was missing, which came from
Richmond, Va, and it is affirmed con
lained S450,000, more than half of
which was in currency, the rest securi-
ties.

consider the question of sending dele
oates of their sex to demand seats in

A Triumph Over Esumbmg.

It is not difficult to alarm the timid, and
invalidS are proverbially so, Aware Of
this fact, the vendors of pseudo bitterS,
''entircly free from alcohol" have raised
a false cry against tonic preparations con-
tanning spirits, and no doubt have frigh-
tened Il few sick folks into purchasing the
fermentcd rubbish which they sell, and
which is infinitely more injurious than
the vilest drains drunk ut tavern bars.
But already IA tremendous reaction has set
in against these abominable nostrums,
which, being devoid Of the alcoholic basis
which alone prevents liquid botanic prep
arations from turning sour, decompose al
most as soon as made. IlOstetter's Stom-
ach Bitters has lived and will live down
multitudes of such imp0stureS. A regular
recurrence of the demand for the great
Alternative invigorant from those who have
always been its patrons, shows that they
have not swerved in their time-hOnored al
legiancc to Americas most popular rene
dy; and constant influx of new orders
demonstrates how little impression. after
all, the blatant denuncatiOns of the mock
bitters men have made upon the general
public. SO long as Hostctter's Bitters con-
tinuc to cure and prevent intermittent
and rcmittent fcvers, dyspepsia, cons;ipa-
ZION, hiuIVl ulHcIStS, anu lHc huiil'IOuS
other ailments to which they arc adapted,
they will continue to dominate the fac
tious opposition ofhumbugs, and that will
be just rs long rs they are manufactured
and sold. Be it known unto all bogus nos
trum vendors, of every degree Of audac-
ity and knavery, that they can never hope
to pun themselves into public faver at the
expense OF Hostetter's Bittcrs, the repu-
tation of which is founded, as it We're,
upon n rock.

HoMIcIDE NEAR ORLEANs.-Norman
Twisg, son of Mr.. Harrison Twigg,
lock keeper at second lock below the
tunnel, on Chesapeake and Ohio Canal,
was brought to this city late Wednes,.
day evening and lodged in jail, charged
with the murder of Charles Murphy,
Young man living near Siding Hill, In
the neighborhood Of Dam No. 6. Inc
Young men were both in attendance at
a social party, at the house at MIR. VIII
lam Bell, who keeps the lock three
miles above Orleans, on Tuesday night
last. Some difficulty arose between the
parties and a short scuffie ensued, dur
mo which Murphy received stab in
the rioht breast from knife supposed
70 have been in the hands Of young
Twipr. The difficulty was about a
trivial matter and took place in room
in the house of Mr.. Bell in the presence
Of the guests The wound was insignif-
cant in appearance, but Murphy fell to
the floor and died almost instantly.
The event occasioned considerable ex-
element among the guests present, and
a scene of general confusion ensued.
Yesterday Twigg was arrested and
taken before Justice Honorius Shircliff,
at Orleans, who held preliminary
examination which resulted in the COM
initial of Twigg to answer. One of the
witnesses, Cambridge Norris, we under
stand swears almost positively to the
fact that Twigg struck the fatal blow.
Murphy was quite young man, was a
boatman by occupation, about twenty
two or three years of age, an unmarried.
Twigg is also unmarried and youthful
in appearance. He broke down com
pletely when the iron doors Of the Jail
closed behind him, and displayed much
nervousness at the idea of being con,
fined on SO serious charge.-Cunaber-
land Times.

THE STRIKING BoATMEN-THE PEN
Atty INFLIcrED.-In the Circuit Court
for this county yesterday, Messrs
James Hitechew, Taylor Reid, Peter
Wolf and Thos O'Donnell, the boat
men convicted the day before Of con-
spiracy to control the rate of freight
on coal transported over the G. 81 o..
Canal, were brought up for sentence,
Messrs. Reid and Wolf were only con-
structiyely present, neither having APP
peared during the trial. Reid is resi-
dent of Sandy Hook, and Wolf lives
in Williamsport, Washington county.
Reid has been absent on account OF
sickness, while Wolf asserts most pos
itiyely that he had no notification that
he was '.wanted" here for any purpose.
As we know Mr.. Wolf to be man Of
responsibility we are inclined to believe
his statement. Counsel for the trayer-
sers, Mcssrs. Jones and Mcllenry, en-
tered motion for arrest Of Judgment,
the plea that the jury was not sworn to
try the travcrsers named in the indict-
ment The point was argued by Mr.
Jones. The Court overrulel the motion
on The ground that the traversers could
not take any advantage Of an irregul-
arity of which they had cognizanoe at
the time. The Court, in imposing SEN
tence, called attention to the gravity OF
the offence, and admonished boatmen,
coal companies, and all Others, that any
combination to control prices by which
the business Of the community is inter
rupted, is Illegal and contrary to the
common law. But as this was the first
case of the kind ever tried in this
county, the court would make the pen
ally as light as possible. The Court
then imposed fine of twenty-five dol
lars on each of the travercers making
one hundred dollars in all, and the costs
of prosecution, eighteen dollars and
forty cents for each individual fined
This makes the case cost each of the
traycrsers S43, Cnnsberia':d Times

RuMoRs OF WAR.-The cable lately
made mention Of the gloomy forcbo-
dings of the London Times as to- an
impending wat between Germany and
her neighbors. No intelligence has,
however. yet reached this country COIL
frmatory Of what may be only a vague
apprehension "In the surrounding
gloom" says the Times, zone thing is
perceptble: all men are arming." 1t is
because of this "gloom" that most peo-
pie cannot see enough Of what is going
on to enable them to prophecy good or
evil. That men are armins in Europe
is true Germany is increasing her mil
itary and naval power. Russia is so de-
tcrmined TO develop her resources OF
bone and muscle that the Mennonites
are crossing the Atlantic to escape mill
tary service. France is filling up her
shattered ranks as rapidly as possible,
but both nations have to repair the losses
of the late war, and France is in no
condition to disturb the peace. Spain is
the only European country which is
not at peace, but her condition is civil
war, which may be almost said to be
her normal condition.

The good people of certain country
village in Indiana hungered and thirst
ed for an organ to assist in the church
services; but as they could not afford to
hire an organist, they bought self OPP.
Grating instrument warranted to grind
out forty tunes of a religious cast. The
musical instrument was placed in posi-
ton for the next Sunday. The sexton
was instructed how to set it going, and
how to stop it, but unfortunately forgot
the latter part of his business, and after
singing the first four verses of hymn
before the sermon, the organ could not
be stopped, but continued playing two
verses more; then just as the clergyman
completed the words, LET us pray,
the organ again clicked and started an
other tune. The sexton and others
continued their eXertions TO find the
spring, but no one could put stop to
it; so they got four of the stoutest men
in the church to shoulder the perverse
instrument, and they carried it down
the aisle Of the church, playing away,
into the church yard, where it continued
clicking aud playing unlil the whole
forty tunes were finished.
