ment Of the claims of this Senator, %
called, TO December, though palpa-
BILE dodge, is no less palpable defeat.
His Senatorial aspirations have been "sot
back" and this too in the house of his
professed friends, his professed friends
having the power, if they had willed to
exercise it, to make it otherwise How
much longer the colored people viii con-
sent to SOW that their white allies NAV
reap, is difficult Of determination. Ger
tain it is, Pinchback considers himself
sold out and is said to be in most ex-
plosive temper. His black friends in
Louisiana, who number nine-tenths of
the Republican force in that State, are
Of course, sold with him and are equal
ly indignant. Theselling is supposed
to lie in the interest of Casey, Grant
brother-in-law, already the proprietor of
the most lucrative Federal appointment
in Louisiana.
In our obituary column will be found
to-day the death announcement of Col
Richard Thomas Zarvona. Col. Ear
vona became conspicuous during the
late war by his French Lady" disguise
and by his connection with the capture
of the st. Nicholas, his subsequent ar
rest and his prolonged confinement and
harsh treatment as a prisoner of war
Though Of wandering habit and some
what erratic disposition, the Colonel's
of character, keen sense of hon.
or, urbanity of manner and cLivalric
bearing, won him many warm friends
and admirers, of which number the wri-
ter is proud to record himself.
We are in receipt of pamphlet copies
of the Report of the Congressional
Committee Oh Railways and Canals, with
the Memorial Of Col. Smoot and accom-
panying documents, on the subject of
the Southern Maryland Railroad. Hav-
ing already published the Report and
Memorial, with the more important of
the aGdendo, we do not feel ourselves
called upon to emphasize at this time
the facts stated in the papers by par
ticular mention, though we may do so
hereafter. Col. Smoot will accept our
thanks for his attention in sending us
the pamphlets.
TIE memory of Pomeroy's attempt to
buy his way back into the Senate, and
Mr.. York's defeat of his plans by tbs
great exposure in the Kansas Legisla-
ture, is revived occasionally bv an item
the famous $1,000 which
York exhibited as the purchase money
and offered to return to Pomeroy. The
latter denied the transaction, and for
months the money remained in the
State Treasury, strange instance of
funds going logging. Now it is said
that Pomcroy has quietly accepted it.
and the whole matter is to be dropped
with this confession Of judgment ON his
part.

TIE COMMISSIONS appointed to wind
up the affairs of the Freedmen's Bank
and to distribute the assets among the
depositors have resigned. They COM
plain that Congress failed to come to
their assistance with the necessary leg
lslation. and that under existing laws
they can do but little towards carving
out the purposes for which the Com
mission was created.
The attention Of our farmers will of
course be drawn to the advertisement of
W hitelock's Vesetator. Messrs. White.
lock & Co. claim they are steadily i'm.
proving the quality of their manure
nntil now it surpasses anything made
IN Europe or America. Let our farm

selves.
