Inv TELEGRAPH TO The rRIDUSE.I
WASHINGTON, Dec. 13.--It is expected that as soon
Senators Dorsey, Sharon, Acorn and Jones arrive
here, and are firmly established in their seats, the
case of Mr. Pinchback will be taken mp and disposed
Of. The case has assumed n new phase since tho
withdrawal Of Mr. Mcmillan, who claimed the scat
on McEnery's credentials, and Administration peo-
pie say that now Mr. Pinchback viii receive almost
the entire Republican vote Of the Senate for his all
mission. They argue that If Mr. Pinehbacs Is re-
jected Louisiana viii be hopelessly Democratic, and
will be for the next Democratic candidate
for President Georgia or Kentucky; that his ro-
jcction will be q throwing away 10 the DcmOc-
racy Of the last Southern State but one,
and that one tmeanIng South Cardinal they
think Gov. Chamberlain means soon to turn over to
them, that the Democracy will enter the next cam
paign with the certainty Of having the support Of ev
cry State south of Mason and DixOn's line for their
candidate. They say that the Republican party is,
a fair vote. justly entitled 10 South Carolina, Ala
bama Florida, Louisiana, and Mississippi; but IL
they SIT still and allow matters to go they have,
nstanced in the recent Of Mississippi the Re-
publican party will not have electoral vote from
the South in the next campaign. Hence they intend
making the case of Mr.. Pinchback the beginning Of
a determined effort to regain what they claim be-
longs to them in the South.

A HORRIBLE DEATH.
Buried Under a Freight Pile.
Discovery of the Corpse.

Saturday morning while the deck hands on
board Of the Great Republic were unloading the
freight, horrible sight met their gaze.
There was pile Of six tiers OF oats just behind
the cylinder-head, and they removed the last
row, the decomposed corpse Of man was dis
covered by them. It appears that when at st.
Louis this man took passage and was driven then
from the place in which he was found. but it is
thought that he must have gone back and fallen
asleep when the freight was piled upon him.
The hands and officers on board discovered
mo obnoxious smell during the trip and search
ed in every direction for it, but:without success,
and at last gavo up the search, thinking the
smell proceeded from q dead rat under some OF
the freight. The man was buried for. six days.
No one knows him and the only clue to his iden
tity is through paper found upon his person,
which runs as follows

The deeper valleys that intersnct these noun

are other water-worn valleys, which convey the
overflow Of the mountain lakes, subsisted by

The Third-Term Spectcr Will Not Down

1t is now no less than ever the opinion OF come
OF the coolest and best informed observers here
that the President proposes to secure nomina.
ton fer the third term. The more conservative
of the leaders CT the Republican party express
great annoyance that Grant does not deci.lvely
say for all that be is not candidate fov re-
nomination. They complain in all seriousness
that the fear he viii be candidate a third term
operates very unfavorabiy for the party, and will
continue to do so. un'e:s he puts quietus to the
agitation, as only he can. The following leading
editorial from the National RepstLlicdn of this
morning may possess more or less significance,
in view OF the fact thai the Republican is often
used directly by the President as his organ, and
has never been corrected by him for its advocacy
Of third term.
Gas the third party movement asserts itself,
aud the rotten, Disseminated element Of the Re-
publican party is slouShed off 10 attach its stink
ing self to that movement, the third term prop3-
sition grows in public favor. But President
Grant is so tantalizing he will not open his lips
on the subject, and the busy-bodies outside of
the Republican party, who have such close re-
gard f,r its welfare, are bothered nigh unto in
sanity. Is it because they are AFRAID OF his
strength with the people that they continually
advise AGAINST his denomination! The detective
press is not above suspicion. There is such
thing as intermeddling with the affairs Of the
Republican party for the purpose Of inducing it
to nominate weak man--a man who could be
easily beaten By the opposition
BY the phrase detective press" the editor of
the Republican is supposed to refer to all news

AT PARTING.

Here must we part, we two that walked together
All gree, graci us summer side by side;
Here must we part in misty autumn weather;
So it is fated-sol 1t shall abide.
o my sweet lover, strong and proud and tender,
Lean low your stately head to meet my kiss.
Let life to life. let soul to soul surrender
It's best and dearest at an hour like this
Never again, in all the years hereafter,
Never again, 0 love. to see YOU thus
From summers vet unborn, like mocking laughter
Odors and melodies will float to us
Perhaps in future Dreams with haggard fsces,
We shalt clasp ghostiy, weiShtless hands and
weep;
A moment met, for shadowy embraces,
Among the long mysterious halls OF sleep.
Yes, like two spectres we may stand together,
Vague shapes amid the vapor Of dim dream;
Sadder than now, in blurred, bleak autumn
weather;
Since this at least is, that shall only seem!

CITY HALL.

A gentleman, who wandered disconsolate
through the City Hall yesterday, gave vent to
an opinion in the expression that it was the best
place he knew Of in which to hold q spelling
match. He said there was such q delightful
quiet reignlng supreme, that if 1t did not meet
the requirements Of a spelling match, it would
certainly be good place for a seance, or any
other business which requires as an essential to
eminent success stiffness and all that.
TIE fact Of the matter is, the City Hall has de-
&C nerated into quite di,mal place, so much 50
that everybody in and about it looks though
he had chronic case Of the blues. The Kellogg

4 Little Uid.Iime Story About Grant.
from the Silver CITY Avalanche.1

IRON Tue CllVcT lily ASdiduCue.J
More than twenty years ago, one terribly cold
and stormy night in January, Mr.. Erastus Nelis
was driving his stage home firm Carondelet
(near which burg Farmer Grant then lived) to
st. Louis, distance Of seven miles. On the road
Mr.. Wells met a horse and country wagon pro-
ceedins leisureiy along without a driver. He next
discovered lying on tie roadside the debris Of
what appeared as small stock Of gr-ceries:
Farther on be espied what afterward proved
to be q good-=ized, old-fashloned brown
jug; the cork was out, and there was
the very best evidence that the aforesaid jug had
very recently contained some whisky. The last
object, further on and Only short distance from
that point, Mr.. Wells discovered was the body Of
m n lying on the side OF the road. Jumping
from his stage. he found the owper Of the wagon
reposng comfortably in q snow bank, slightly
" under the weather from having imbibed too
freely OF the contents Of his brown jug. Mr.
Wells, thinking that the man might PERISH # Ief.
there al night, took him on to his stage. picked
up the things along the road, and la ded the
farmer and his traps safely at ho-pe some miles
distant.
The individual thus taken care Of is now the
President Of the United States.

THE CONSERVATIVE CAUCUS.

There was not as large an attendance OF the
Conservatives yesterday as usual. but among
those who were there the utmost good feeling
prevailed. The nominations for enrolling clerk,
door-keeper and postmaster came up, and john
Oyerton and j. I. McMullen were the fortunate
Cnes.
At haif-past 10 o'clock, Capt. Bilieu took the
chair and called the Caucus to order, but Speaker
Estiette soon arrived. 'On motion, executive
session was had.
On the question Of Chief Clerk, it was reported
there WAS division over Mr.. Irrelevant, and
something of Fridays feeling cropped out.
The subject Of seating Gocde in the Senate
and the four members of the House, was also
taken up, and it was resolved to carry out the
pragramme.

THAT RETURNING BOARD.

The frat bill which the adjusted" House
og REPRESENTATIVES should pass is one repeal
inc the infamous election and registration
enactment, under which many Of them have
been deprived Of their seats, and which has
proyed the most potent instrument Of fraud
ever devised to cheat free people out OF the
right of choosing those who are to make laws
for them, or to administer them in this Safe.
Logic requires that this should be done at
once and all the other reforms that might be
initiated, however in,rnsically wise ard laud-
able would prove Of very little benefit to the
people of Louisiana, unless this moEstrous
continuance for counting in the Radicals is
completely expungei from our statute books.
The unanimous verdict of the whole country
has branded the sham eless members of the Re-
turning Board with eternal infamy, but what
care they for the good opinion OF mankind
Two OF the plant tools have already been
rewarded with high office, and their places
will doubtless be filled by men OF the same
unscrupulous stamp, SO that the
very same outrages which have created
the anarchy and confusion Of the past two
years will be repeated ct the next general
election, when, owing to the superadded ex-
citcment of Presidential contest, return
to chaos, and perhaps another appeal to ply
steal force will be the result Of renewed at
tempt to steal the State offices by brand new
Returning Board SO long as the commits
sion Of that crime brings only dishonor to
the parties who do the dirty work,
and money salye in the shape of fat Offices
is applied to the wounds Of their mythical
conscience, hundreds Of worthy substitutes
will be found for Wells and kenner. Let the
Conservative members Of the Legislature Ego"
at once for the Registration and Election law,
knock it on the head and have its remains
buried so deep that not a vestige Of the IN
clean thing shall ever reappear above the
ground. .Ifit were done when It's done,
then twere well it were done quickly"
