FROM WASHINGTON.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 1.-THE sub-com-
mittee appointed by the House on
Southern affairs returned from Louis
lana last light. They are reticent but
enough is known to authorize the state
ment that there is no conflict Of opinion
among the members Of the committee.
The action Of the returning board in
throwing out r~turns Of certain parishes
in which Conservatives were elected
and in giving certificates to some Re-
publidans who were not elected. will be
condemned as illegal and an unwarrant-
ed exercise Of authority. The testi-
mony does not sustain the charges Of
violence towards negro voters, but tends
to establish the fact that large numbers
Of negroes voted the Democratic ticket
from convictions Of right. The com
mittee will probably recommend new
election The excitement in New Orleans
when the committee left that city was
intense. There was no likelihood what
ever Of its being manifested in . genera
outbreak, but the Kellogg government
is submitted to only under the pressar,
Of the military power Of the Unite<
States, and in the expectation and be
lief that Congress will devise ant
adopt some means that will restore ta'
commonwealth to the control Of its cit
liens.

Dear MIR. Donnelly:
Since taking an active part in politics
I have remarked that the mistakes
Of the Democratic party, State and ma
tional, have been about as numerous as
the victories Of its opponents.
If there arises an opportunity for
the Opposition, in the Legislature, to
support Gov. Davis for the U. S. Senate
against Ramsey, and our old weaknesses
folly and knavery, prevent our friends
from. availing themselves of it, then
another great mistake shall have been
committed, and the opportunity lost
for freeing the State from the
tyranny of . ring tnat'
like an unhealthy nightmare,
has pressed down upon it for many a
year, and paralyzed every healthy
honest movement, until our young
State has become so morally diseased
as TO elect as one of its representative
to Congress, a man who dares not Civ
his name to gentleman when asked
for it, and who is now skulking, shdd
owed-like any other rascal-by
policeman.
'tNothing can you to damnation add,
Greater than this"
The question to be decided within tn
next two years, over leaps, in its mag
nitude, all party lines, it is the ITO 3
or not to BE-" of popular government
If we cannot elect a man IN ful
harmony Nth ALL our political riew'
then let us do the next best thing 70
the State and the country, I. e., help t
elect a man who is free from the cor
tamination of ring influence, who's
mind is his own, whose fine intellee
will give him foremost place in tn
Senate of the United States, and who's
eloquence will be heard on the side

whom it may be assailed.

MILWAUKEE, Jan. 4, 1874.
Mr.. Editor:
Since our last the wheat market has
ruled sluggish, in the absence Of regular
foreign advices, but the tendency has
been upward. Private cables report
Liverpool and London strong, rivals
and stocks light. The official figures
seport the amount in store in Liverpool
Is l45.OO0 quarters Of wheat, which is
1900 quarters short of last year. The
amount OF -four is, however, in excess
Of last year. Last year the amount III
store in England was very small, and
this year it is no larger. notwithstand-
ing the reported excessive supplies all
stef The world. The amount in
store in New York has
decreased one and half millions dur
ing the last month, and quite liberal
shipping demand has sprung up, mostly
for Wisconsin wheat direct to Liverpool.
1t begins to look AS though all the facts
conclusive to lower prices had beer
fully anticipated already, and that any
change will be in favor of holders.
Dressed hogs have ruled dull ant
weak, but quotations are unchanged

The Chemistry Of the stsmach.

AS in the more delicate process of
the laboratory, it is essential that the
reagents employed to produce chemi-
cal changes in matter should be ancon-
terminated. SO also it is imperatively
necessary that the fluids of the stom-
ach, which act chemically upon the
food, should be perfectly pure. When
the stomach is acid, it is because these
fluids are vit,ated or diluted. Similar
ly, other forms Of indigestion arise
from deficiency of the chemical prop

The managers Of this excellent and
deserving enterprise have most wisely
decided to change the original design
in the distribution Of the real estate
which is made for the benefit of the in
stitution named in the advertisement
on the first page, where full particulars
will be found. The idea is to reduce
the number of shares from $500 to 1893,
and to increase the price Of them to
$3.50 each, and as there are 1903 parcels Of
real estate to be disposed Of, each share
holder must get one Of the parcels.
The wisdom Of this change will be sp-
parent when it Is considered, IS shown
bv the canvass thus far. that many,
discovering the advantages Of the PRO
ject, desire to and do purchase large
number Of shares, while those who are
desireus ofinvesting. and cannot afford
to purchase . full share can easily form
clubs, and by paying . small amount

from the sale Of the real estate which
they are certain to drow. as tie

dra,o q prize. and tho chances Of OBJ
tanning one Of the grand prizes is in
creased in large proportion.
The Notwithstanding to the new ar,
rangement, will be 600 or or before
the first Of March, and $50 in = yeal
| from that time. The demand for the
shares throughout the State has been
considerable and the approval Of tn,
new plan is very general. It is pleas
ant to observe that responsible parties
from distance have Investigated tn
project and inspected the property Il
be distributed, and have universally &C
knowledged that the scheme is the mos
liberal and deserving ever offered to tn
public. The change must recommen'
itself to those Who invest from purt !,
business motives. while those Who pal
ticipate on other grounds cannot but b

Much given away which 1t were sweet to

God help us all who need indeed his care;
And yet | know the Shepherd loves his
sheep.
My little boy begins to babble now
Upon my knee his earliest inIant-prayer;
He has his fathers eager eyes know,
And, they say, too, his mothers sunny hair.
But when he sleeps and smiles upon my knee,
And can feel his light breath come and 90,
think OF one--Heaven help ans pity mel
Who loved me, and whom loved. long ago.
Who might have been--ah, what dare not
think.
We all are changed God judges for the
best,
God help us do our duty, and not shrink,
And trust in Heaven humbly for the rest
But blame us women not, il some appear
Too cold at times, and some too gay and
light;
Some griefs gnaw deep; some woes are hard to
bear
Who knows the pastf And who can judge
us rightl
All, were We judged by what we might have
been,
Ana not by what we are--too apt 10 fall
Ny little chid--he sleeps and smiles between

Deferred Pay

Each Of the shares will receive at least
a lot valued at $500, and the probability
of a share of property worth more than
his investment. One in about every fonr
shares will secure lot worth S3l7 or
more. One in every ten shares will re.
ceive property worth 800 or over that
amount, and one in every twenty shares
lot worth 81 900 or more, while the four
principal prizes range in value from
81, 200 to $4,000. The advertisements
elsewhere published more fully sets forth
the scheme. its advantages, and describes
year with interest at 10 per cent. The
amount is too great to afford all an OPP
portunity to invest, the poor as well as
the rich, and favorite plan is to com.
the property that is offered. All Of
is well known in st. Paul, and TO be
worth what its estimated value is stated,
even in these hard times. The general
appreciation Of its advantages evinced in
the shares that have been sold is guaran-
|
those that have the project in charge.
The cause to be benefited is one which
commends itself to the people of the
State and of st. Paul in particular--the
founding Of an industrial school. To ac-
complish this, with no desire otherwise,
the managers have undertaken in this
scheme to turn into money the real es-
tate that ~ss largely secured by them
for mere song-almost donated by those
who had the good Of the school at heart.
That the project is no more nor less than
a plain business transaction is selfeyi
dent. 1t commends itself to every citi-
zen. Mr.. j. w. Fralick, the agent and
manager, is pushing the sale of the shares
with his rare energy, and can more fully
set forth the merits of the project than
can be done in brief article of this char.
aster. lie may be found at the Savings
Bank Of st. Paul.
