They declare their belief that Samuel j.
Tilden and Thomas A. Hendricks were, on the
18th day of November last elected President
and VI president Of the United States"

OF Congress to adopt such lawful means as
may lead to the official declaration Of such
result.

Col. GoRDoN's African exploring
expedition has discovered new
branch of the Nile 200 yards wide,
which leaves the river 100 miles south
of Duf1le, and which the natives say
runs in an unobstructed stream into
the Nile again. In this case, it may
afford relief from the lola rapids,
which have compelled portage of $50
miles, and may also establish water
communication between Lake Albert
NyanZa and Khartoum.

The President, in his message to
Congress, recommends the passage Of
the army appropriation bill. Hestates
that the troops have not received any
pay since last June, which is the re-
suit Of political chicanery. The Sen
ate refused to pass the appropriation
bill at the last session because the
House would not consent to the sta
tioning Of large number of soldiers
in the Southern States. The Repub
lican party seems to be responsible to
greater extent than the Democrats
for the present state of affairs, if
standing army is to be sustained; but
tt e plan advanced by some experienced
men to do away with it, with the ex-
ception of few soldiers to hold forti-
fcations and posts on the frontier,
seems to be a good one. 1t would be
the means of curtailing expenses, and
should an army be at any time need, |
ed volunteers sufficient for almost any
could be raised at a mo-
ment's notice.
