day CHARGED hat be made one kind Of
speeches in Congress and another kind
10 Mississippi; that he had encouraged
the white line movement in his State aud
that be had apologized there for his
Sumner eulogy. He chose to-day TO take
notice Of and deny these charges in the
House, aud produced the evidence oftwo
Mississippi congressman, Messrs. Single
ton and G. Wiley Wells, the latter a Re.
publican, who had heard his speeches,
and also letters aud extracts from Re-
publican papers, to show that be was false
ly accused Mr.. Lamar's statement was
complete and satisfactory, but when be
sat down Mr.. Eugene Hale, Of Maine,
arose, aud, in a narrow and contempt
Bile partisan spirit, made some i%nsinua-
tons against Lamar's good faith. Mr..
aale's remarks we're received with evl-
dent disgust by the greater part Of the
House, but it is inteRded to renew the at
tack on Lamar because the bloody shirt
Republicans find that he stands in their
way. His Hamburg speech was a bitter
pill for them. They sac by the warm APP
prevail it has gained everywhere that he
is a powerful peacemaktr between the
sections, and their only hope lies in stir
ring up new strife in the South, aud be-
tween the North and South.
There is increasing evidence here that
the most desperate and unscrupulous e.
forts will be made by the Republican ex-
tremist to stir up bad blood. Anything
like paci6cation aud the prevalence of
good feeling alarms them and excites
their instant opposition. Cursed are
the peacemakers,' is the motto Of this
kind Of demsgogue.

A key is necessary to their proper under.

fashion notes, taken from a recent 81
Louis paper:
Cream color is on the vane." Thai
accounts for its scarcity ION milk. -.
Very little false hair is worm Tow
and jute are cheaper and more conve-
nient.
"Frizettes are no longer fashionable"
They catch in the spiral studs, and inter
tere with the capture Of the hug, you
know.
Calico grows more and more fashion
able'-for bedquilts in country fairs.
"Gentlemen's cuffs have the corners
cut off or rounded" A still more com
mon way is to have them frayed or
raveled.
Fashionable shirt.bosoms remain
plain" Rufled ones tickle the.feminine
cheek too much.
The baby bonnet is the rage in Pa
ris Here it is the squall:ng thing in
the bonnet that RACES most.
Silver pearl gray is the latest fashion
able color. This is the beautiful shade
seen on socks after three days wear.
"Polouaises are provided with long
side poekets"-that is to say, pockets
are still percbed on The rudder Of the
dress
Waists are still very long" This
makes men long for them,
The latest trimming is ay fringe" an
old style reneTed. The fly fringes every.
thing onc a year.
"Chatelaines continue in great favor"
by which is meant that women still
cable whole stocks Of fancy goods to their
waists,
Gloves of undress kid are much
worn" An ''undressed kid" is some.
thing Of which modesty forbids a descrip.
ton.
Cream celor as a fashion is now going
out" That is to say, bilious girls arc
out Of style.
Skirts continue 10 grow longer" By
reason Of much tramping Of heavy boots
upon them.

Voyage OF a Man.OEWar Up the

voyage OF 81 MRn.Of.War Up the
mississippi.
The New Orleans Democrat tells q
%story-giving S%toddard's History Of
Louisiana as authority-of a voyage o!
the sloop.of war Boston up the Missis'
sippi, years ago, when General Harrison
was warning with the Indians in the
Northwest. 1t was thought that the ap
pearance of an armed ship would have o
wholesome moral effect on the savageS,
and the Boston was ordered on the duty
The Democrat says:
1t was eighteen months of steady sail
ing before the Boston reached the june
ton of the Ohio and Mississippi. Wher
she arrived there, she heard the news
Tat the Indians had been completely
overwhelmed by Harrison at T%ippecauo'
and the war finished more than a yea
previous. The captain rightly concluded
that there was no need for him to 60 an!
farther, with the falls of the Ohio pro
hibiting his passage. The boat was &C
cordingly turned around, started back
and in a very short time driited down t.

Paris as a seanort.

The Paris correspondent of the Lon
don Telegraph writes as follows. The
idea of making this city a seaport-in
other words, of rendering the Seine uayi-
gable for sea.going vessels-is again
coming to the surface. The river at Pa
ris is only between sixty and seventy feet
above the level of the ocean, and the dis.
tanoe IN d straight line one hundred and
twenty miles, although following the
course Of the stream it is two hundred
and ten miles. The problem is how to
lessen the latter number aud make a
greater depth of water, 1t appears that
to dredge out seven feet would need an
expenditure of Is, 600, 900 francs, and an
additional three feet would REQUIRE
IL, O00, 900 francs more. 1t is stated.
moreover, that the average size of French
vessels is under 300 tons. The Minister
OF Public Works and the Project Of the
Seine made an exploring expedition the
other day to Rouen, and the journey is
to be repeated by the municipal council.
OF course no decision has been arrived
at, but the lower estimate will probably
be adopted"

The efforts Of James Hal and other
so-called Independents in the Fourteenth
civil district to form combinations meet
with but little success. They were in
weighed by the RAIDS into presenting them
selves before the people rs candidates
for magistrate, and we're assured that the
RAIDS would make no Nominations, but
would solidly and silently support them.
Having got the Independents out, they
trescherously abandoned them to their
fate, and left them in the lurch by max
ing Radical nominations for the office Of
magistrate, and the poor fellows have
nothing to fall back upon except brag
and buster. The strikers Of these In.
dependents we're around last night, and
they Dragged about their success. They
tell Thompson, the negro candidate for
magistrate, that if he and his friends
will assist Hall they will assist him. They
then go with the same proposal to the
other candidates and try to pull the wool
over their eyes, %endeavoring to defeat the
regular nominees, Messrs. Elliott and
Fleming. On Thursday next let every
Democratic and Conservative voter Of
the Fourteenth district support the regu-
lar nominees and defeat the Radical
schemes to get control Of the County
Court aud thereby carry future elections.
Vote against the Radical candidates,
Eldridge and Thompson, and the grape
vine Independents, aud be certain to
vote against j. Hall, who pledged him
self to abide by the action OF the Demo
cratic district convention and then repu
dated the result.
