Last night, as we learn by telegraph, the
Electoral Commission was in secret ses-
sion, upon admitting certain testimony in
sisted upon by the Democrats in the Lou
isiana case proving fraud. The feeling in
Washington last night, was that the vote
of the State would either be given to
Hayes, or thrown out-the Democrats be-
ing quite hopeful of the latter. The case
will not be decided till Monday or Tues
day.

A Legislature Christening II Man.
Richmond Letter:

4ltCH;toR0 IetteT:
Ex-Gov. Smith has introduced in the
House a most novel and interesting bill.
The bill is to give Charles Van Mason, (bet-
ter known as Tromp Payne) of Fauquier
county, a name. The name of that
individual is now supposed to be
Charlea Van Mason. He was left a
baby in the country by some lady,
but neither the people Of Fauquier, nor
does he himself know who his parents are.
Since that time he has grown to mans es-
tate, and beginning life as a stone-mason-
he has massed a good fortune, and is high
ly respected in the county. He has called
himself Chas. Van Mason. This name an
swered as well as any other until Charles
became matrimonially inclined. He is SEN
gagad to 3 very pretty young lady, but she
very properly declines to marry q name
less man and tells him he must get a
name must find one somewhere. So the
man without a name now petitions the
Legislature ofVirginia to give him a name.
Some members of the Legislature want to
call him "Tilden," while some advise him
to adoGt the name of Hays-.'everything

said Mr.. John Bickle yesterday, as he took
us in to see the pulpit furniture for the
Second Presbyterian church, which is be-
ing manufactured there with his own hands
by Rev. McDuff Simpson, the pastor. Its
pretty fine work, too," added Mr.. Bickle,
holding up the handsomely carved back of
an arm chair, which the minister had just
completed. The set consists of three hand
some walnut chairs, the centre one being
of imperial size, ali tastefully carved, and
all the work of the industrious pastor. They
will be ready to be set in the pulpit at the
dedication, which will take place IN March.
The stained glass windows of the new
church were put in Wednesday, and pre-
sented a very handsome appearance.
The building has been paid for right

mence with no debts, exceptfo the ground,
which is $1,000, payable in ten years.

A Tribute to Darwin.

Mrs. Herrick, IN introducing her
study of 'Insectivorous Plants" in
ScRIBNER for April, speaks thus can
ddly of Mr. Darwin
Now that scientific truth is working
its way downward and permeating all
classes of society, some slight dis
tu'bance is naturally created "a
little knowledge is truly dangerous
thing, not because it is knowledge,
but because it is so little. And yet
even this little has its use,-it is es-
sential as an entering wedge for more.
Darwin, whose name is the battle.cry
of one of the opposing forces, is a
man possessing such qualities of mind
rs might well be initiated by those
who deuounce him as the prince of
atheists. He is an observer of facts,
who is able to brush away from be-
fore bis eyes the mists of traditional
belief, vino looks right into the heart
OF physical truth, and sees things as
they are There is frequently a judici-
al fairness about his statement of such
facts as strongly initiate against his
own theory, which is beyond all
praise. Where the issue should be
made with him is in the magnitude
of his differences. However strongly
we may and do dissent from his con-
clusions,-taken as a whole,-we can.
not do less than make grateful &C.
acknowledgement of the treasures OF fact
which he has given to the world
The invectives hurled at his head by
the "Christian world" are not argu.
ments, and they have lost their power
as mere auathemas. They look far
more like the passionate protests of a
subtle unbelief, trying to prop its
wavering faith by the violence of its
expression, than the calm utterances
Of a truly Christian faith. To Oar
win, certainly, we owe much of our
knowledge of those plants which may
be called with perfect accuracy, in
sectivorous, and to him, therefore, we
make acknowledgment.

Using His Influence.

A good citizen, who has the cause
of temperance at heart, was yesterday
travelling up and down Michigan ave-
nue. to watch for topers and to coax
them to sign the pledge and mend
their ways. He got hold of three
hard cases at once and took them into
a boot and shoe store to argue the
point. They were willing to listen,
but obstinate about signing, and the
good man went out to secure more
influence. He met butcher whom
he had long known, and, explaining
the case to him, the butcher replied:
"They won't sign, eh : Well, now
you see if they don'tI They know
me, and they'll put their names down
like streak of ligbtning!'
Entering the store he unfolded the
pledge, and to the first he said {:
"Tom, l want your fist to this"
81 druther not" replied Tom.
"You put your name down here or
Iii give you the worst humping you
ever got, and dontt forget it T. yelled
the butcher.
Tom signed, and the man of meat
crooked his finger at Jim, who didn't
hesitate a minute. The third one
didn't know the butcher, and he said
he wouldn't sign the pledge for no
man.
81 guess you will guess you
will u said the butcher, as he rolled
up his sleeves. ''l'm coming now !"
He took the topper by the throat,
flung him over a box OF boots and in
to corner, and in thirty-nine seconds
from the first dash the topper called
out
'Let up on me and gimme the
pen y
He signed, and then placing the
,hree in row IN front Of him, the
butcher said
I'm temperance all over, and my
whole heart is in this work. If I
catch either one Of you guzzliug any
more drink I'll tie you in a knot
around ]amp-post and pump you out
with fire steamer! G'lang now, and
