the Mackey House:
''ln the Mackey menagerie there is scarcely
a white face 10 be seen, and the colored men
are not by any means the best of their class.
They sit with feet on their desks, many with
cigars in their mouths, engaged in loud con-
versation, and telling jokes in spite of the in
cessaut rappings o. the Speaker. Almost all
the time has been occupied in providing
sour for themselves and making new efforts
10 bleed the State. The most frivolous dis
cussions constantly take place. Quite speech
WAS made on the subject of the use of tobacco
by the members, which Mr.. Maekey stopped
by stating that so soon as the members had
smoked the cigars borrowed from the Demo-
cratic Legislators he supposed they would stop.
.Aeross the hall in the Senate the scene is
far more respectable, but there the greedy fight
over the appropriations, the taxes TO be rung
from an impoverished people, has taken up the
time and attention of the Republican members
who appear TO lose sight of the Importance OF
other matters iu their scramble after the
spoils."

Hon. BENZ. Hili's Position.


The Hon. Benjamin II Hill, OF Georgia,
says the Baltimore San, has written to friend
in that State latter in answer 10 many flying
rumors that are current in Georgia in respect
to his political fidelity, and in vindicalion of
his course during the present session of Con
gress. He asserts that he has acted with his
party both in caucus and in the House that
those who say he has lost faith in the election
men are willing 10 make some bargain or
trade or other arrangement with Mr.. Hayes
state what is not true. All chat he has said
and done in caucus, he declares, has met with
the warmest approval of his party associates,
and all tie stories circulated TO the contrary,
and casting a doubt on his good faith ''are
simply manufactured by sensational hirelings
for Republican use and benefit" In conclu-
sion he says;
"The political situation was never so criti-
crl as now Our constitutional system is on
a magazine of powder, and ten thousand
fools, and some that are not fools, are striking
matches all around il. None but cool men
and patriots who love country more than office
can avert the most horrible civil war that ever
dsgraced aud destroyed liberty and humanity
And vet there WAS never less excuse for any
war in the history Of the world. Such war,
If il come, will be the elimination of human
crime in the daslardly destruction OF human
rights by ~ disgracctu! scramble Tor oiice. In

THR RECOUNT IN FLORIDA Special dis
patches from Tallahassee TO several northern
Journals state that the recount of the returns
of the late election in Florida which was re-
Gently ordered by the supreme court Of that
State only applies 10 local officers and not to
the vote for electors. If these statements are
true the presidential question will not be ma
terially affected by the new order or any ac-
tion of the canvassng board that may take
place uuderit. The State was contested, even
under the original count, and any doubt that
may exist as to whether lis electoral influence
should be thrown for Hayes or Tilden will
not be much strengthened by the decision OF
the supreme court Meanwhile all the cir
cumstances attending the action Of the board
of canvassers will probably be ascertained and
duly reported to Congress by investigating
committees for the enlightenment of the Sen
ate and House, aud with n view to such pro-
Ceedings as may be deemed appropriate.
The National Theatre at Washington came
very near being the scene Of dreadful trag-
edy in the auditorium on Monday afternoon.
The play was the same rs that played at the
Brooklyn theatre, the Two Orphans" and
it is rather curious coincidence that this was
the first lime il has been put upon the boards
since the great calamity at Brooklyn. The
facts are as follows: During the second act
n man in the gallery fell in fit. The cry of
"a fight" arose which the audience mistook
q mi
threw open all the doors of the building,
when rush was made for the different means
of exit. The orchestra was directed TO play
for the purpose of diverting the attention OF
the audience, which was unusually large, but
the leader was absent, and several minutes
elapsed before note was heard. In the mean
time the alarm became general all over the
house, and in the effort TO get out one or two
women were thrown down and trampled upon.
Fortunately no lives were lost or serious in
juries inflicted About one-third of the house
succeeded in getting out and did not return.
During the temporary panic the company
showed the greles. presence of mind, and
did all it was possible to do TO quiet the au-
dience and allay the fears of those who were
present.
In Newark IN. J.) theatre on the same
day boy mistook Calcium light for blaze
and shouted fire" The audience at once
made bolt for the doors, but were finally
persuaded to return to their seats, though a
woman and little boy were crushed badly in
the stampede. These two incidents of Christ
mas day point their own obvious moral.

Death OF MRS n. ID. oGutt.-Ur

OA NNFb. ~ Ouutts-b I'ou
Christmas Day, amid the enjoyment and fes-
tivity of the people Of our town, shock sud
deu and unexpected, in the death Of Mrs.
Nicholas D. OHutt, sent thrill Of sorrow 10
the hearts Of all most estimable lady,
whose Kind and cheerful disposition always
wore II smile Of welcome TO all she met. She
had endeared all friends and associates to her
with chords of attachment, which echoed with
sadness when her death was announced.-
For some days past she had been confined to her
bed by sickness, butupon the day Of her death
she was thought 10 be much better; and
while the family were at the supper-table en-
ioying that quiet and peace which apprehend
no misfortune, they were summoned 10 her
bedside only in time to catch her. parting
words. Thus expires the life of another whose
chief aim seemed to be the scattering of flow
ers along the pathway of Others. Her hand
was always out-stretched to affection, and
her voice, materially gladness 10 all who heard
it, never failed to fall in pity and sympathy
upon the ear of woe. A community mourns
her death aud deplores her loss.
But her chief mission seemed 10 be the
gladdening aud en!ivening of the domestic
circle; there she reigned an angel of cheerful
ness and happiness. Her conjugal love was
of that devoted character which chained to
her the unliring and ever-increasng affection
Of fond husband. In mothers heart she
enshrined her children, and il was watchful
to anticipate their wishes and ever ready to
crafty them. They repaid her with that
flial devotion which her parental love merit
ed. But these chords are now severed by the
scythe of death her spirit has taken its
heavenward fight and she lives upon earth
but in the memories of those to whom she
was dear.
We know that the echoes of sympathy have
no power to stem the torrent Of grief that
flows over her resting place but we cannot
resist giving expression to those sentiments of
sorrow which we feel for the sad and sore
stricken family.
