From the New York SUM-


When the House meets in January, the
Democratic majority can not enter upon the
serious work of the session one moment too
soon. They were elected fourteen months
ago on clearly defined issues, and they GER
tainly ought to have ascertained by this time
what they are going to do, and how they are
going to do it. 1t is already evident that the
Republicans in this Congress intend to play
an aggressive role.
Morton, in the Senate, instead of defending
the policy of the administration in Louisiana,
makes an assault upon the recent Democratic
victory in Mississippi. Blaine, in the House,
instead of bothering his head over inconse-
quential legislation about a return to specie
payment, Introduces q proposed amendment
to the Constitution which raises the anti
Catholic issue.
The Democrats should understand that the
Republicans have been from the start the
most bold and aggressive party in our history.
The Democrats should learn wisdom from
their opponents. Timidty, evasion, or pro-
crastination will not win q hsnd.to-hand con-
fict with adversaries SO willy and desperate, SO
thoroughly disciplined. and with such vast
resources at command as the Republicans.

Mr.. PendletOn In South Carolina.

[FrOm ING AuBdsta OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES
Hon. Geo. H. Pendleton returned to the
city from Columbia, S. G., last evening. having
been summoned to return by telegram from
Mrs Pendleton, giving him the information
that his daughters sickness had developed in
q serious case of scarlet fever. We had a few
moments conversation with the distinguished
statesman last evening, and learned from him
that he was given most cordial reception in
South Carolina. On visiting the Legislature
it was officially announced to both branches
of that body. and committee was appointed
to wait on Mr.. Pendleton, and offer him the
official courtesies of the privileges of the
floor A short recess was taken, and many of
the members were presented to Mr.. Pendele-
ton. He is somewhat reticent as to his opin-
ION of the "black and tan" officials whom he
saw there.

A Sea Serpent in Conflict with a Whale.


The Zanzibar correspondent Of the Western
Morning Neus writing under date of October
20, says 1.-The bark Pauline has arrived at
Zanzibar with Goals for her Majesty's ships.
When off Cape St Rogue, South America, q
sight was presented that made the crew stand
aghast- less than the great sea SER
pent engaged in conflict With q whale 1t
had wound itself twice round the whale, and
was twirling it with tremendous velocity,
lashing the water into foam. The noise could
be distinctly heard on board, and after bat.
ting for some time both disappeared. The
serpents length can be imagined. II had two
coils around a full-sized sperm whale, with
thirty feet clear at each end. Its diameter
was from three to four feet. They saw it
twice afterwards Once it came very close to
the vessel and raised itself about sixty feet
out OF the water, as if about to attack them.
i have questioned men and officers, trying to
find out any discrepancy between their state
ments but am q convert to the belief that it
was SEEM" Another naval officer writes to
the same journal to precisely the same effect;
and the officers Of her Msjesty's ships on the
station are said TO be convinced Of the truth
of the story.

1t is pity that Count Arnim had no friend
TO deal with him as the Duke of Wellington
once did with Sir Charles Napier The latter
had, as usual, q grievance against the govern
ment of the day. and had indited protest,
more forcible than polite, which he meant to
publish. He brought it one cold morning to
the Dukes house aud put it into his hands to
read. "Very clever" said the elder hero,
"very clever indeed, most telling; have you
got a copy of it," Sir Charles replied that
no duplicate or rough draft existed. The
Duke Immediately stuffed it between the bars
Of the CRATE, where fire was blazing. and held
it down, say ing, 'Glad to hear it. Most inju-
dicious, most injudicious; best have no more
of it." II Count Arnim consulted any one
before publication, doubtless it was some too
partial admirer, who, struck by the vigor and
audacity Of the attack on the Chancellor. en-
couraged instead Of dissuadinR him.-London

Five Hundred Men More Than Six Feet
High.

In answer to an advertisement for $500
men six feet or upward in height to appear in
the play OF Julius Cesar" more than 800
applicants besieged the stage-door of Booth s
Theater They began assembling as early as
8 O'Clock, and attracted no small share of at
tention from the residents of the neighbor-
hood. The door leading to the family circle
and the stage was opened shortly before 10
O'Clock, and the colossal applicants
for supernumerary fame were obliged
to pass in Indian file before the critical eyes
Of Messrs. Tooker and Vincent, the business
and stage managers. Those OF them who were
judged to be "six feet in height and over"
were passed along the passage in the direction
of the stage, while others who failed to come
q TO the specified measurement were picked
out of the 1nks and sent away. After about
two hund14 and fifty of the tallest men had
been selected the doors were closed and the
successful giants, headed by the police Off
GERS, were marched on the stage and drawn up
in lines facing the auditorium. They pre-
scented very respectable appearance. After
being engaged they passed through the
Twenty Third street door, and were received
by q crowd of small boys who lined the curb
and greeted the men with jokes.

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.
THE AMEs CLIQUE OPPOSED TO AN INvEsTIGA-
TION-THEIR REASONS.

THE AMEs CLIQUE OPPOSED TO AN INvEsTIGA-
TIoN-THEIR REASONS.
The special correspondent of the New York
Tribune writing from Washington under date
Of December 9th, speaking of the proposed
Mississippi investigation, says:
Having failed with the Executive. the
Ames party have gone to the Senate and Sc
cured the assistance Of Senator Morton. The
anti-Ames clique we're also ably represented
here before the recess, and will be back
again next week. They are untiring in their
efforts to inform Republican Senators, who
will listen to them, of what they assert are
the exact facts in the case, and will probably
prevent the appointment Of any Investigating
committee. They say that the State was Car
ried by intimidation, and that any committee
that goes there will find ample proof Of it.
On the other hand, they say that the CON-
mittee will find proof which they will be I'M
able to ignore, of corruption, fraud, bribery,
and inefiiciency on the part of the Republican
State officials and Legislators, such as has
existed in no other Southern State, and that
if it is laid before the country at this session
of Congress- it will so shock the people that
they will not only justify the Democrats in
restoring to illegal means to check it, but 1t
may be the straw that breaks the camels back
in the next Presidential campaign, and turn
the scales in favor of the Democrats. They
prefer to submit believing that Democratic
Legislature and Democratic United States
Senator are less to be deplored than an expo
sure OF the rottenness Of their party.
