We desire attention to the an
nouncement of the New York Herald
in another column. That paper occu-
pies a most important position in pO-
litical affairs at this time. Without
identifying itself with either of the
parties of the present day, the paper
represents that large and growing
body of thinking men of all persua-
sions who are shocked and alarmed at
the despotic tendencies of the admin
istration party and convinced of the
necessity of resisting it--a dispassiOn-
ate statement of the exact position Of
affairs is more likely to be found in its
columns than in those of any other
paper we are acquainted with.
We will furnish the CHRONICLE and
weekly New York Herald, for 50 %.

College Exercises.

The regular speaking of the senior
students of our university is ANNOUNCED
for next Thursday-rather earlier in
the year than usual. We need not ex-
hort our friends to attend, as the Col
lege chapel is always crowded on these
occasions. Among the speakers for
this year we notice as among our own
acquaintance Dennie Atchison, Joe
West and John Ferguson. They have
all brains enough, and will give US
good speeches, unless Dennie is too
lazy and Joe too modest. As for
John, we know of one capitalsspeech
which he wrote, but never mustered
courage to speak. John has, we hope,
acquired brass since then, and brass is
all he needs he is the best scholar of
his age whom we have known here.

WE learn from a letter from DR.. R.
NJ. Corlew of Cedar Hill, to the
American, of the following particulars
of the drowning of four persons in
Red River in Robertson county on the
Sth inst:
"a party of FIVE young ladies aud
gentlemen, intending to come from
Logan county, KY, across Red River
into Robertson county to a ball, came
to the river little below Northing-
ton s mill and found that it was en-
tirely frozen over. Resolved not to be
disappointed the young gentlemen cut
a way through the ice, and determined
to go over in canoes.
Two canoes were at hand, and five
of them got into each and started.
They had not gone far when the hind
most boat reported to the front that
she was sinking. The front boat turn
ed Immediately, and went back to rem
der the necessary assistance, and in so
doing the bows of the two boats
came in contact with sufficient force to
sink both, and drive them under the
ice.
Three young ladies were drowned
and two young gentlemen. Two OF
the young ladies were the Misses
Campbell. The name of the other
lady we do not recall. One of the
young gentlemen was Mr.. Gregory
the others name we do not remember
The deepest sadness prevails through.
out the county. All of the unfortu-
nate party, we understand, we're highly
respected and moved in the best circles
of society.
The friends of the deceased have
been making diligent search for the
lost bodies. but have not succeeded II
. finding them. One of the young la
dies, a Miss Choate, being q gooC
swimmer, made her escape.
LATER learn that only four per
sons we're drowned, and that theiI
bodies have been found. =

LATEST DISPATCHES.
New Orleans.


NEW ORLEANS, Dec. 1.-THE re-
turning officers to-day made written
return to the Subpoena duces team of
the committee, denying jurisdiction,
affirming that their decisions are final,
and not subject to revision by any au-
thority, State or national, and refusing
to bring the returns and accompany
ing papers before the committee. They
offer, however, to have certified copies
made, if the committee will pay the
expense. They do not say whether
they will appear in person or not, but
the Republicans say that they will re-
fuse. In this case it is probable that
they will be sent to Washington and
brought before the bar of the House.
Sub committees will be sent into va
rious parishes to take testimony and
ascertain the facts of the election.
Struck Oil at Last.
COLUMBIA, S. c., Dec. 13.-The
Congressional Committee finally struck
oil after four days of hard and quiet
boring under discouraging circumstan-
ces. They have secured facts and fig
ures which show that the entire cleo
toral ticket has been elected. Taking
counties as returned by the Board of
Cauvassers and precinct returns on
file with the Secretary of State they
find with twenty missing precincts,
that one Tilden elector has 184 major
ity, and six Republican electors have
reached 500 majority.
The missing precincts are favorable
to the Democrats and the returns from
them have been destroyed by the Re-
publican officials. With these pre-
cincts in, every Tilden elector is elected.
These precincts are in dozen strong
Democratic counties. Witnesses have
been summoned from the counties by
kilograms to prove the vote actually
cast. The committee will be able by
the strongest evidence to prove that
Tilden has carried the State without
going behind the returns,
