REpoRTs are contradictory conce

REPoRTs are contradictory concern
ing the condition of Senator Morton.
From one source we are informed that
a partial recovery is all that the most
sanguine of his friends now anticipate.
Another report is to the effect that his
mental vigor is nnimpaired, and that
his physicians have strong hopes that
his physical condition will be so
much improved in few months trat he
can again take part in the management
of public affairs.

Gov. PENNINGTON, of Dakota, is on
the anxious seat for reappointment, his
tenure of Office expiring in few days.
The fact that there are so many
patriotic applicants anxious to serve
Uncle Sam in the capacity of Terri
torial Governor, even if they only run
things as briefly and with no more dig
nifty than the famous Don Quixote,
may result in change of the Dakota

tration. The returns showed MAORI
ty vote actually cast throughout the
state of 5000 for Nichols aud Wilt2
over Packard and Antoine for governor
and lieutenant governor.
In conclusion the statement charges
the returning board with changing the
result of the election in Desoto parish
by the suppression Of votes so as to re-
turn Republican representatives who
were beaten by large majorities, and
which was admitted in letter written
by Republican representative so re-
turned, copy of which letter will
hereafter be submitted to the commit
| tee.
In his supplemental statement Kel-
logg denies generally and specifically
the material averments of Spofford,
and asks that in the event that the
committee shall decide to take testi-
mony regarding who were really elect
ed members of the legislature, that
such investigation shall be made
thorough, and in obedience to the de-
signs of the election laws of Louisiana;
that it shall decide who were elected
after excluding from the election re-
turns such polls as the election laws of
Louisiana designed should be excluded,
if such exclusions aresthe same as
required by the designs of law. 1t will
be found that the action of the return
ing board in certifying to the election
of members of the Senate and House as
they did, was justified by evidence and
law in the case. Spofford, in his sup
Elemental statement, says the vague
ness of the statements of Kellogg as to
what he desires to prove renders it i'm
possible for me to specify what shall
desire to adduce in rebuttal. 4 suit
upon such pleadings could have no end,
and assume it is the desire of Kel-
logg and the committee, as it certainly
is mine, that the matter should be de-
termined speedily, certainly within a
few weeks. AS to the specific document
referred to by Gov. Kellogg in his let
ter to the committee of the 22d inst. /
shall desire to prove that the act Great
ing superior court fell through-an
utter abortion-that it did not require
any appeal because it never went into
vital force; that protesting to abolish
the sixth district court of New Orleans,
it never did abolish it, but that the
court has continued and still subsists
in the full exercise of its original juris-
diction, though there has been no law
reviving it. If it be deemed proper or
material to go into the general investi-
CATION (whose horizon is boundless) in
dicated by Kellogg, the only effect of
which will be an indefinite delay and
prolitless wrangling, the undersigned
suggests that it would be improper to
limit the quotations to the testimony
taken by the House committe, but that
the testimony taken by the Morrison
committee should be, in common fair
ness to the other side, allowed consid-
Grafton. OF course the journals and
acts of the assembly of the Nichols
legislature, as printed in volumns by
authority, can be referred to, and the
undersigned in return agrees that the
newspaper reports of the journals of the
Packard legislature may be referred to
by either party.
The committee, after hearing the
statements read, had brief secret ses-
sion, ordered them printed and ad-
journcd until Monday.

New York, Oct. 26.-Trial judgment
was given by the general term of

Judgment was also given to enjoin the
company and its directors from doing
or procuring any act to be done which
in anywise interferes with the rights of

THE PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRACY.

The Democratic State Convention of Penn
sylyania met in Harrisburg on the 22nd ultl'
mo. Many of the most prominent Democrats
in the State were present. At II o'clock
Capt. VIM. McClelland, Chairman Of the
State Central Committee, called the Conven-
tiop to order and presented the list Of dele
oates returned to him and then handed the
Convention over to them. The Hon. Mr..
Stepger, who, it may be remembered, made
strong speech against the half million subsidy
to the Centennial Exposition, which it is fair
to say has been paid back, was permanent
Chairman of the Convention. He said:
Gentlemen of the Conuention-Accept my
sincere thanks for the honor of being selected
to preside over your deliberations. congrat'
ulate you that we meet with a. full represen'
lation from every district in the State. There
is one striking fact about the Democratic par:

amid all yicissitudes, because its principles
are those of the Constitution. 1t has been

majority, elected to the lower house of Con.

public difficulties by applying the policy of
economy, retrenchment and reform. They
steadfastly adhered to it, and sixty million
dollars we're thereby saved to the nation: Ev-

and was cruel to its employees, but few days
ago the financial Secretary of the Hayes ad'
ministration goes to Ohio and claims credit
for his party because it has recently dismissed
a thousand employees. 1t was compelled to

credit is claimed by the Hayes administration:

ANNOUNCEMENT
OF, THE
YORKVILLE FEMALE INSTITUTE.

~ IN re.oresnizing the Corps of In
-Hf b. structors in this Institution, the Trus-
NJ "a tees take great pleasure in saying that
~ they have secured the services OF w.
~ r. JONES, A. NJ, Mrs. CLARA D.
MCLEAN and Miss FANNIE MILLER in the
literary departments and Miss SUEF. LOWRY,
in the musical department.
In recommending these teachers, for public
patronage, we would say that MIR. JONES is a
native Of this State, graduate from the South
Carolina College, aChristian gentleman OF highly
cultivated talents and attainments; from cholce
and by profession teacher; and brings TO his as
High Schools and Colleges, in this and other
States, which aptly fits him for the moral and
mental culture Of those entrusted to his care.
No one is more eminently qualified than Mrs
Possessing, as she does, a mind of acknowledged
ability, trained with the utmost care, imbued with
the progressiveness of the age and fully appreca-
ting the importance of female education, she
brings to bear upon her pupils all the happy IN
fluences which she has acquired by long expe-
rience i'm teaching the schools in Charleston, In
this State, and also in Schools in other States.
Too great importance cannot be attached to the
training of little children and it often requires
months of tedious labor for an experienced teach
er to eradicate from their minds what has been
improperly or imperfectly taught, before prop
er foundation can be laid on which to build
substantial education. To avoid this difficulty,
we are fortunate in being able to place Miss
II
Department Her sympathies with the young
soon win their affections; and when such is the
case. rapid progress in learning soon follows.
Miss SUE F. LOWRY has been so faithful and
conscientious in the discharge of her duties, and
given such entire satisfaction in her department,
that it is only necessary for lis to ask for her that
liberal patronage which she 80 much deserves.
In order that all may avail themselves OF the
benefits to be derived from this thoroughly or
ganized and strictly disciplined school, we offer
