having been already made, on al basis Of 500 as the

doubtedy room in New York for such organization.

THE SECURITIES
and thus admit to their list all the active stocks

Der of persons who, having no special interest in
mining, would gladly embrace opportunity TO amh-

the active railroad and other shares while the great

disconnected with any Board would themselves gladly
welcome the advent of Institution where the lead

We need Mining Board pure and simple and it

WASHINGTON. Feb. 11.-Yesterday Mr.. Morrison,
Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee,
accepted the resignation of DR.. j. =. Hambleton,
clerk of that Committee The friends of Mr.. Mori-
son say that Mr.. Hambleton was not selected by
him. but was appointed at the request of some
one else. When Mr.. Morrison first heard tho
story about DR.. Hambleton's having named
his child John Wilkes Booth, he inquired
of him about it, but Hambleton denied
the story He denied it again when TnE TRIBUNE's
article. entitled Turn Back the Hands," was pub
lshed, and it was not until the arrival here of yes
terday's TRIBUNE, The Chairmans friends say, that
Mr. Morrison had seen any proof that HambletOn
had not told the truth. Mr.. Hambleton had several
weeks ago offered his resignation. On learning of
the publication of the obituary notice yesterday,
Mr.. Morrison informed him of its acceptance.
Speaker Kerr, on being shown the same evidence, is
said to have expressed in very strong terms his alb
horrence of such an act.

JUDGE JAMES q. TALLIAFERRo.

This high official died in this parish
ut the residence of Mrs. s. B. Alexan-
der, his daughter, ON Friday morning
last, and by his death one has passed
away who has stood high and promi-
nent in Catahoula and Louisiana. He
was member of the Constitutional
Convention of 1852. A prominent
member of the Secession Convention of
1861, against the action of which he ear
nestIy protested and history has proven
that the views he held at the beginning
which he advocated In his newspaper,
the Independent,ands spoke in Conven-
tions, weresound and correct. He was
u Wing and Union man and represent
the war. Since the war he has been
firm and conscientious Republican. He
was candidate for Governor against
Warmoth in 1868. In 1866 he was ap-
pointed on the Supreme Bench by J.
Madison Wells and re-appointed by
Warmoth in 1868, which high and hon
orable position he held to the day of his
death and while we cannot by any
means endorse some of his decisions
on political questions, on other
questions his decisions are learn
Ell, able, sound and show great
legal ability and wonderful informa-
ton. He was II years old at the time of
his death and was in full possession OF
his mental powers to the hour of his
death. AS a member of the Supreme
Court he was hard, untiring worker,
doing more labor than any two other
members. We omitted to mention
that he was Catahoula's first Parish
Judge and was also for many years a
talented member of the Bar at Har-
risonburg. We have never heard any
one say ought against the high integri-
ty of the deceased, and his name is
without a stain. Thus has passed from
us man Of great ability, full of honors
and renown, and all feel regret at his
death, and admiration for his great
talents and Cdtohoulz Neacs.

MARK TWAIN'S REPORT OF AN ACCI.
DENT.

Mark Twain recently tried his hand
writing up distressing accident for a
Boston local paper, and this is how he
did it:
Last evening about six o'clock, as
Mr.. William Schuyler, an old and re-
spected citizen of South Park was leav-
ing his residence to go down town, as
has been his usual custom for many
years, with the exception of only a
short interval in the spring of 1850, dur
ing which he was confined to his bed
by injuries received in attempting to
stop a runaway horse, by thoughtlessly
throwing up his hands and shouting,
which if he had done so even u single
moment sooner, must inevitably have
frightened the animal still more in
stead OF checking his speed, although
disastrous enough to himself as it was
and was rendered more melancholy
and distressing by reason Of the pres
ence of his wife's mother who was
there and saw the occurrence, notwith-
standing it is Mt least likely, though not
necessarily so, that she should be re-
connoitering in another direction when
incidents not being vivacious and on
the lookout, as a general thing, but
even in the reverse, as her mother is
said to have stated, who is no more,
but died in the full hope of a blessed
resurrection upward of three years ago,
aged eighty-six, being a Christian
woman without guile, as it were in
property, in consequence of the fire OF
ls49, which destroyed every solitary
thing she had in the world.
Let us all take warning by this SOL
emn occurrence and so try to conduct
ourselves that when we come to die we
can do it. Let us place our hands up
on our hearts, and say with earnestness
and sincerity, that from this day forth
we will beware of the Intoxicating
bowl

on trumpetl-up affidavits. Other adj
vices inform us- that it is Chamberlain's
intention to arrest over one thousand
persons before his programmesis COM
pleted. The notorious Col. Merrill,
who did the dirty work of the Admin
istration in South Carolina and Louisi-
ana four years ago, it is understood, has
been ordered to take command of the
military in the former State. By in
limitation, by force and by fraud the
Radical satellites hope to carry not only
the prosecuted, down-trodden State of
South Carolina, but Louisiana, and, if
possible, still another Southern State as
we'll. y a
The questions naturally arise, when
we view the programme marked out by
the Radicals with regard to the South,
care the States or arethey Provinces?''
"Have they independent existence, or
may they be abolished at any time by
the Executive of the United States 90
! II the Executive power of the United
States has the right to interfere with
the people OF South Carolina, and if it
is submitted to and Endorsed at the bal
lOt-box by the boosted liberty-loving
people of the North, it must constitute
u part of the Constitution of the country.
The Capitalization policy of the admin
istration will then be carried out and
free government in the United States
will be at an end. II the American
people are willing to stand this thing !;
if they are ready to tamely submit to
future years of corruption and extrava-
gance in, Administration, and bear
tamely the rule Of despots under a
hideously despotic Government, then
will the cry be raised from hundreds OF
thousands of tongues that the blood
shed by the early patriots who laid
down theiri lives to free us from the
yoke of the English tyranny,a century
ago was shed in vain.
