Congress-.

The proceedings in Congress are at
present preliminary they consist in
the election of Mr.. Randall as speaker,
most excellent choice, and the ap-
pointment by him of committees to
visit the States of Louisiana, Florida
and South Carolina for the purpose of
enquiring into recent elections there;
strong lists have been made out. We
notice the name of our own representa-
tive, John F. House, on the Louisiana
committee. Our friend will have some
frightfully dirtywork to wade through,
but he has a strong stomach, and will
do his duty without flinching.
The Senate has chiefly been occu-
pied with proposed legislation for the
counting of the Presidential vote. If
fairly done it is very necessary sub
ject for precise definition, but every
proposition SO far is transparently a
party maneuvre.
The Presidents message was com
municated to both Houses on Tuesday
Dec. 9th.
We give on another page the speech
of Mr.. Randall on taking the chair. 1t
indicates a fairness of purpose highly
necessary in his position.

Y cry truly,
N. L. WHITFIELD.

EDITORS CHRONICLE The delay
of the annual report of the Superin,
tendent of this county, as has been re-
peatedly stated to the State Superin-
tendent, was caused by the change
made in the District Board of Direct
ors by the election in August. The
term of that member of the District
Board who had been acting as clerk
and treasurer, expired on the first Of
September, and as many of the District
Board thought on the day of the cleo
ton. The Sheriff of the county called
an election for three Directors instead
of one, as the law required, and al
though the proper correction was made
by me, many of the citizens OF the
county thought the Sheriff was right,
aud in several districts three directors
were elected. 1t required time to
reetify this mistake, which, as my rul-
ing in the matter was disputed, could
only be settled by higher authority. I
therefore referred it to the State
Superintendent and Attorney General
who sustained my decision. The dis
trict boards were thus unavoidably
kept in disorganized condition for
sometime, and before fair count" of
the situation could be taken, the time
for making my annual report had ar
rived aud passed.
Very truly,
N. l.. WHITFIELD.

EDITORS CHRONICLE: Seeing that
you invite correspondents from the
surrounding country, | take pleasure
in giving you a few items from old
Dickson. My letter will not prove
as poetical as those of your Woodlawn
correspondent, yet | hope it will prove
interesting to the readers of your most
valuable paper, and feel assured that
it will, as it is from your neighboring
county and from county that fur
nishps GAINESVILLE vith great deal OF
good tobacco, and in exchange brings
back a great many groceries, merchan-
disc and mean whiskey.
The thermometer has been down
near nothing for the last two or three
days, and the people throughout the
country are having general hog kill
ing. Pork is selling at five cents. and
the supply is a great deal larger than
it has been for years. Corn is selling
for one dollar per barrel, delivered,
and very few offering to buy at that.
Cumberland Furnace is still in blast
and making on an average "A tons OF
pigiron per day, at cost of S13 per
ton at the furnace. / give you the
products of the furnace farm for the
year 1876 as follows $500 barrels of
corn; 5000 bushels of wheat 300 tons
of hay; 10000 bundles of oats; $4,000
bushels of pork. The value at the
lowest market price would be $4,000.
The hogs killed here averaged 250
pounds meta very good average for
common stock. More anon.

President he should wish to call Mr..
Lamar into his Cabinet, and should
not ask him, in that event, to abandon
his present political relations; that
he meant to frame his Southern
tlemen to make the federal appoint
ments IN the Southern States upon
their recommendations and entirely
of Southern men, considering this the
only proper disposition of these offices.
He said, frankly, that carpet bag gov
ernment had not been successful that
the complaints of the Southern people
were just IN this matter; that he should
require absolute Justice and fair play
to the negro, but that he was convinced
this could be got best and most surely
by trusting the honorable aud inhuen-
tlal Southern whites and putting the
responsibility on them of maintaining
peace and Furnishing outrages.
SYMPATHY WITH HAMPTON.
He expressed his strong sympathy
with Hampton in South Carolina, aud
his opinion that the President had
acted down there in very ill-advised
manner. Finally Governor Hayes said
that as soon as the electoral vote was
declared and his election thus publicly
assured, he wished to have a private
conference with Colonel Lamar and
General Hampton, and would take
measures to that end, believing that
then they could see no objections to a
consultation which had for its object
the good of their own section and tho
harmonizing of differences which had
gone so far that reconciliation was alb
solutely necessary for the good of the
whole country.
On the whole we are disposed to put
little faith in this narrative. IF any
such interview was really solicited by
Gov. Hayes and if it really took
place, we should infer simply that, af-
ter all the counting in, Gov. Hayes is
still not confident in his Inauguration
without the concurrence of the Dem
ocratic party. It is scarcely conceiva-
bic that, on such vague assurances as
this, Mr.. Lamar would consent to dis
solve his relations with his present po-
litical associates. The only thing
which seems certain is that Col. Rob-
erts did visit Gov. Hayes, in doing
which, heis careful to state that he was
not accredited by or for any person OF
any concern except the New Orleans
Times.
