been pried off with chisel or an AK,

wise on the caslet, the head-piece on

against the wall. The casket itself
was pulled out about a foot from the

1t should, perhaps, be stated that
the sarcophagus was in the catacomb
and not in the crypt, being thus
placed in order that visitors might see
it,. The damage done is comparatively
little.

pointed at net catching the vandals,

is the hope of a reward for the resto-

- A Tallahassee (Fla) dispatch of
the 18th, to the Chicago Tribune, says:
''There is now no doubt that the Re-
publicans have carried Florida by ma
jority of from 900 to / 300 votes. From
the first they have claimed the State by
much larger vote, and for twenty-f0ur
hours after the election there was not a
well-informed Democrat here who was
not willing to admit that their claim was a
Just one. This, however, was when they
believed Tilden had been elected by SO
large majority that lie did not need the
vote of Florida. On Wednesday after.
noon, however, Abe Hewitt, Chairman of
the Democratic National Committee tele-
graphed TO the State Committee that Til
den was not elected if Florida had gone
Republican. At the same time he tele-
graphed to Mr. Drew, Democratic candi-
late for Governor, and to many other
prominent Democrats, begging them in
the strongest terms to secure the vote of
the State for Tilden. These dispatches
at once put a new face on the situation.
Suddenly, without having received any
adyices from remote counties, they re-
versed their former publicly expressed
opinions of the result, and loudly declar-
ing that if Tilden's election depended on
the vote he should have it, they stated that
their majority was at least 1000. Then
they set about doctoring returns to make
that majority. They are still engaged in
the same work"

the question of the possible refusal of a

The Presidents Order and Louisiana.

The language ased by the President in
his order To Gen. Sherman meets the
fullest appreciation of the good men of
all parties. All see in the sentiments
therein expressed honesty of purpose and
broad and comprehensive craftsmanship,
and are willing o adopt it in the adj
iustment and solution of the difficult
questions that may arise If the election
depends upon the returns in Louisiana.
The adoption of IA principle, however,
and the application of it to given state
of facts are quite different propositions,
and we see evidences in our exchanges
that Democratic leaders are ready to in
dorse the order, but claim that its APP
plication should each no further than
the Returning Board of Louisiana, while
Republicans believe that IA fraud commit

force and intimidation in securing "a re-
suit come clearly within It's provisions.
The Democrats of a number of parishes
in Louisiana in which there are hundreds
of resident Republicans make returns in
which they do ot.show a single Republi-

Union where suchi Il return would be re

SYNOD of Mississippi.

writes from Natchez, Miss, Nov. 20, 1876:
"We closed the sessions of Mississippi Synod
late Saturday night, the eighteenth instant, after
three days session. Business was hurried through
10 consequence of political excitement-not so much
| in this State as In Louisiana, On the border OF
which Natchez lies.
The most absorbing item in our Synodcal pro.
ceedings was the Synodioa Fund, in connection
with the publication of the Southern Presbyterian.
The friends of the paper carried their point by a
small maj )rity-say six votes

disposed Of, remanding them back into the hands

1t is understood that high school academy will
be inaugurated at or near Natchez, from these

of religion-several churches revived o few new

winchester, VA correspondent of the Wig
says:
"The Episcopal and lutheran churches have
been greatly improved in appearance during the
last few month";, and add more to the looks of our
little city than any Improvement made for several
years. The Episcopal church has been reprinted
very light gray taking the place Of the dark,
diDgy color it has had for number OF years. The
outside railing has been removed, and this also adds
to its appearance. The Lutheran church has been
entirely remodelled inside and outside, the old
steeple has been replaced by the highest spire in
the city, covered with slate roofog.
Our schools are in Furnishing condition, and
business is generally prosperous. Times are still
hard with many, but the crops have been good this
season and the prices fair.
