A STRANGE VIsIToR.--A few days ago
Mr., Robert Taylor, who lives in Gunpowder
Neck, noticed along the Bay shore a large
bird, entirely different from any he had ever
seen before in our waters Upon his APP
proach it flew out into the water, where it
hoated like Guck. He describes ii rs be-
ing three feet in height white in color, with
hooked bill and fan like tail, resembling
somewhat an owl in shape. From his de-
scription we have no doubt it was an alba
tross, the largest sea bird known 1t is
abundant on the Pacific ocean, but rarely
visits the eastern coasts. Its powers on the
wing are extraordinary, and from the great
height, power and continuance of its flight,
sailors, who call it the oman of-war bird"
believe it sleeps on the wing. 1t weighs
fiom 12 to % lbs, and tue usual extent OF
its wings is about IL feet.
The same or similar bird was seen on
Bush river II few days before. Mr. Nc
Laughlin, of Baltimore, fired load of duck
shot AT it at short range, but it either bore n
charmed life or was too tough customer to
mind such tria $, and flew down the river
out of sight.

SOUTH CAROLINA.

E'ents in TO three contested Southern
States follow cpch other in such rapid sue
cession that it is difficult for any but daily
journal to keep pace with, or give more than
brief synopsis Of them.
The sharp trick Of the South Carolina Re-
turning Board in issuing certificates to the
Hayes electors and all the Republican men,
hers Of the Legislature, and adjourning sine
die, while the case was in the Supreme Court
and before writ could be served on them
by the Court compelling them to give Ger
liticatcs to those having the highest number
of votes, aroused the dignity of the Court,
and on Saturday each member of the Board
was fined 81 100 for contempt of court. and
in default of payment, committed to iail last
Saturday. Their names are J. L. CarloZa
Treasurer; 7. G. Dunn, Comptroller; VIM
Stone, Attorney General; II. e. Hayne, Sec
rotary of State; and H. w. Purvis, ex.Ad-
jutant and Inspector General.
Purvis, Cardoza and Haync are negroes.
The Supreme Court is composed of Justices
Willard, Wright and Moses Willard being
colored man.
On Sunday President Grant issued an Or
der declaring that Chamberlain is now
Governor of South Carolina, and ordering
Gen. Ruger to sustain him with The United
States troops.
The Democrats, anticipating that Grants
order meant the subycrsion Of all law and
the forcible seizure of the State House for
the purpose of excluding the legally elected
Democratic members, sent dispatch to the
President protesting against the use of the
United States army in controlling the organ
ization OF the Legislature and enforcing the
Inauguration of Gov, Chamberlain, who has
been defeated by white and colored voters at
the ballot-boX. To this dispatch Grant made
no reply.
On Monday the guilty canvassers were
taken before Judges Bond and Bryan, of the
United States Circuit Court, and their cases
set for hearing on Wednesday, while the
canvassers themselves were allowed to 90 at
large, accompanied by deputy marshals.
Judge Bonds action, in thus interfering in
an irregular manner with the Supreme Court
of State, in matter over which the higher
Court has no control, it was feared would
lead to conflict of authority between the
two Courts, and accordingly the Democrats
sent an earnest appeal 10 Chief Justice

eddy held in the highest respect and eEtcem
He was lifelong member of the Democratic
party, and took an active interest in politics
and in the general affairs of the county. His
death was not produced by any specific dis
ease, but from u general wearing out of his
entire system, His remains were inferred on
Monday, at Bethel Presbyterin church, of
which he was member, the funeral being at
tended by large number of lis friends and

A TONIC WITHOUT ALCOHOL.

The Peruvian Syrup is Protected Solution
ics, and enriches the blood. Dyspepics and
following;
From Rev. John Gregory, Pastor Of the Wesley
an Methodist Church, ut Pittston, Luzerne
county, Pa.
My Dear Sir-Having at various times, per-
sonally, and in my own and other families, test
ed the great value of the medicine called PERU
Wan Syrup or Protected Solution Of ProtoXide
of Iron, most cheertully recommend it, espc-
cially to those who are suffering from dyspeptic
and nervous disorders. AS reliable and pow
erful Alternative, it is, think, unsurpassed and
as a tonic, free from all the Objectionable fea
lures of alcoholic remedies, it is Il most efficient
auxiliary to the temperance cause. One of the
greatest hindrances to the temperance reform
at present is, as think, the medical use of aco
holic stimuans. Whatever may be argued as
to their necessity in certain cases, we have in
the Peruvian Syrup, safe and efficient substi.
tute for those dangerous remedies. This tcst
mony is given unsolicited, with the hope that
some who are not yet acquainted with the valu-
able properties of the medicine may be induced
to give it a trial. Yours truly,
JOHN GREGORY.
CAUTIoN.-Be sure you get the Peruvian Syr-
up mot Peruvian Bark) Sold by dealers gen.
orally. A thirty-two page pamphlet contain
ing treatise on Iron rs a medical agent, and
other valuable papers, testimonials from distin-
guished physicians, clergymen, and others, will

CoNGREss.-Congress will assemble on
Monday next December 4lh. The first
important business before it will be the selec-
ton of Speaker, TO take the place of the
late Hon. NJ. G. Kerr. Messrs. Wood, Hewitt,
Saylcr, Randall and Cox are prominently
mentioned in that connection, and any one of
them would no doubt be equal to the respon-
sible duties which will devolve upon the
Speaker at this crisis in our history. From
his familiarity with parliamentary rules and
general fairness We should be glad to see
Mr. Randall elected but be has been of in
estimable use on the floor, as the advocate
and promoter of economy in government
expenditures, and his place could scarcely
be filled. Whoever is elected should be a
man of firm and fearless character, prompt
in emergencies, devoted to the right, and
resolved that SO far as his power extends,
constitutional liberty shall be preserved.
Ii is probable that committee of invest.
CATION into the election in South Carolina,
Florida and Louisiana will be appointed as
soon as Congress organizes.

Columbia, S. c., was burned to the ground,
last Friday night, by incendiaries, who fired
the building in several places at the same
time. The generals two sisters and his two
young sons barely escaped with their lives
If such an outrage had been perpetrated
upon Gov. Chamberlain or any of the others
izing the State, what IN cutlery would be
raised by their supporters elsewhere, and
how swiftly Gen. Grant would have sent
detectives and troops to hunt down the
guilty parties, In the meantime General
Hampton endures wrong and suffering with
the heroism of a martyr, His course through
out is worthy of all praise.

in Jail al New York, where he arrived last
Thursday on the steamer Franklin 1t is
now known that he escaped in small yacht,
and landed in Cuba, whence lie made his
way to Havana. Captain General Jovelar
after bleeding him pretty freely for permits
sion to stay there, found it inexpedient to
harbor him any longer. Tweed then EN-.
bark,d on IL Spanish saiiing vessel, which
landed him at Vigo, Spain, where he was
discovered about two months ago, and by
the courtesy of the Spanish government sur
rendered to the United States. The Repub.
licans were anxious for his arrival before the
election, hoping he would make some reve-
lations damaging to Gov. Tilden. They were
not gratified, however, and now that he is
in limbo nothing can be extracted from him
that would in the slightest degree reflect
upon the character of Mr.. Tlden.

CAUGHT IN THE AcT.-If anything else
were needed than has been already shown
to convince even candid and unprejudiced
Republicans that the Louisiana Returning
Board and their co-conspirators have been
guilty OF open and outrageous frauds, in
manipulating the election returns, the most
complete evidence of the fact is furnished in
an incident that occurred on Saturday.
When the returns from parishes marked
contested" were taken up, the Democratic
counsel were permitted 10 be present. The
returns from De Soto parish were brought
in a registered mail package, sealed with
wax. Upon being opened it was found to
contain the aggregated statement of the
county canvassers and numerous protests
and affadavits. The secretary of the board
stated that the package had been received ON
the 18th, and his book bore such a record.
A remarkable thing'was then brought to
light. The package contained an affidavit
dated the 25th, while it had been receiv-
ed by the Board, according to their re-
record, week before. Here was a mystery.
The ready clerk was equal to the emergency.
He at once declared that two packages had
been received from that parish, but at the
same instant lie was caught in the very act
of making an entry TO that effect in his book =.
After some delay another package was pro
duced and found to contain consolidated
statement of votes and commissioners re-
turns, but no protests or affidavits. The
members of the board were unable to explain
the matter, and Senator Sherman, of the Re,
publican visiting committee, remarked that
there was no use to disguise the fact that the
returns had been opened and protests inserted
after the package of returns had been re-
ceived. The affair created quite sensation
among the members of the committees pres.
ent. The members of the Democratic COM
mittee were very outspoken in the opinion
that fraud had been perpetrated, and the
Republicans did not deny that the affair had
q very peculiar aspect.
This is only one of thousand equally
glaring frauds committed in Louisiana by
which the Returning Beard will steal the
electoral vote of the State from Gov. Tilden
to whom it fairly belongs.

Hon. CLAKKsoN N. PoTTERs LETTER.
Hon. C,arkson N. Potter, of New York, has
written letter to the New York Her0ld, in
which he she ws clearly and conclusively that
the President of the Senate has no authority
in law to count the electoral votes for Presi-
dent and Vice-President. He also proves
beyond cavil that both Houses of Congress
must concur in the count, and that from the
formation of the government no electoral
vote has ever been counted, or assumed to
be counted, against the objection of either
House Mr.. Potter then demonstrates that
inasmuch as the duty Of elccting President,
in case Of the failure of the electors to elect,
is by the Constitution imposed upon the
House, the House must necessarily decide
whether the contingency has arisen which
requires the performance of this high consti-
tutional duty.
Mr.. Potter is an able and eminent lawyer,
and his views have been endorsed by the
best legal talent of the country.
