and as they entered saw the President and
his family and Cabinet, and his father at his

indeed contrast. The President was a
handsome man, of fine bearing, in the

eighty years; his full gray hair and int lii

A WISCONSIN Deer Story.

The Milwaukee Sentinel has correspond
ent who writes: "Waiting for train at the
Northwestern depot the other day, the Sen
tineE reporter, having with his usual mod
esty shrunk into corner, heard Captain
Bones, q well-known hunter, telling his
story to small but interested audience,
composed chiefly Of Tom St. George: Did
you ever hear bow Bill Shepard shot seven
deer out of one drove? 1t was a still,
cloudy day, and there were two feet or
more OF snow on the ground. There was
lust an even dozen in the herd, and
Bill had got behind big log within ten
rods of them. He had to snake a
hole through the snow on the log to get
sight. He got all ready, picked out the
biggest one, and blazed away. 1t was big
buck, and dropped to the shot. Well, you
know if a deer can't see OF scent you be
won't run, and you can keep on shooting as
long as you like. So when Bill dropped the
first one, the rest just scattered and came
right back together again. He showed in
another cartridge, picked out the biggest
one again, and he tumbled, too. Bill put 4
third cartridge down, picked out the biggest
one again, and he dropped to the shot.
By this time Bill was pretty we'll eX-
cited. He had only four cartridges left,
but he Kept as cool as possible, plckeQ
out the biggest every time, and
fetched him. When he had fired his last
shot he sat down and watched Fem long
time, but finally he had to show himself,
and the balance Of the deer left. 1t was
Just about this time the rest Of us came UP,
and inquired what all the shooting was
about. Bill was feeling awfully because he
hadn't any more cartridges, but he swore
he'd got seven deer, any way. We went
over to see. The snow was nightly tramp
ed down, sure enough, but there was only
one deer-a big buck. There wasn't the
least trace Of the other siX-every one OF
which Bill saw drop to the shot. Then we
went up and looked at the one he got, and
as sure as you're born he had seven bullets
in him. Bill had shot the same one every
shot He would fall and then Jump up again,
and being the biggest one, Bill picked him
out every time.'"

The Two GOVERNMENTS IN SOUTH CARO-
LINA.-Columbia, 5. e., January 4.-The
| compsomise committee, consisting Of three
Republicans and three Democrats, appoint
ed by the State Senate to deal with the ques-
ton as to which of the two houses which
adjourned December 22d was the legal House
of Representatives, met this afternoon, but
it speedily became apparent that the differ
ences Of opinion among the six senators were
irreconcilable. and the committee could
agree upon nothing except to adjourn sine
die, which they did. This leaves the con-
test between the two State governments to be
fought out by the pertinacity Of the carpet
baggers against the passive but resolute re-
sistance OF the taxpayers. The latter took
steps in Charleston to-day to organize and
furnish to Hampton's administration the
contribution OF one-tenth of last year S
taxes, which have been called for to relieve
the pressing wants of the public charitable
and penal institutions.
Mackey made second attempt in Charles
ton tonight to obtain something like pop
ular endorsement of Chamberlain, but his
call for meeting drew together only six
white men and about four hundred blacks.
The main points OF the speeches and reso-
lutions were that il the taxpayers refused
to pay taxes to Chamberlain the negroes
would retaliate by refusing to pay their
rents. Every day renders it more certain
that unless martial-law be established
throughout South Carolina Chamberlain's
usurpation will be peacefully starved out.

corveys. to n waiting world the INSURANCE
NJ fine success OF his great effort to open
fhe mouth OF the Mississippi. The simple
statement is made that the ietties nave Sc
cured eIlannei-depth of twenty feet IN
denth and two j hundred! feet In Wldth
through the South Pass to the Gulf. Thls
has not great sound, but it conveys an Inn
mense meaning. Itmeans that the greatest
river In the world, draining the richest coun-
try In the world, is no longer to be obstructed
at its mouth, as for so many years 1t has been.
50 that no certain and sufficient outlet could
he had for the productions OF that vast ana
fertile area known as the Great West. IL
means prosperity, wealth, and immeasurabie
adyancementto the biggest and best portion
OF the North American continent
The ietties are no longer an experiment,
but practical and proven fact. and their
complete success is amply assured. When
Captain Eads conceived the project OF OPEN
ing the mouttiof the Mississippi. there was
only shallow and unreliable passage to the
Gull, maintained in state OF semi-effl.
cheney by costly dredging operations, and
subjecting commerce to onerous expenses
connected with tonnage, literage and delay.
There was practical embargo upon the ship
ing interests, and the mighty Mississippi was
voted failure. The only relief seemed to be
in the plan for cutting canal at cost OF
SI5, 100000. Captain Eads proposed to open
the navigation of the river, ut his own ex-
pense, through the Southwest Pass, to be
subsequently reimbursed by Congress, and
named S11 10000 as the cost OF the work.
Congress chose the South Pass, and cut
down the amount to s5,250,000. The con.
tract calls for an opening across the bar OF
20 feet in depth and 200 feet in width be-
fore the first payment OF 100000, and a
final depth of 80 and width Of $50 feet
the work to be inspected ut stated intervals
by commissions OF Government engineers,
and the contract to be completed at the end
of twenty years.
Captain Eads has fairly earned his first
payment, and it is to be hoped that no con-
grcssional quibbling or official obstruction
will prevent its receipt. He has been COM
PEELED to work against great obstacles ana
disadvantages, not the least OF which have
been the open hostility of powerful in
terest in New Orleans and the insidioIs OPP
position of United States officers. He has
won a great triumph for himself and for
his countrymen, and well deserves his re-
ward. The worst Of the work has been
done, and the river will steadily and rapidly
deepen the channel within the limits to
which it has been confined until the grand
result shall be completed Louis Times,

MER OF HOPE FROM FLORIDA AND LOUISIANA.
[By telegraph to the Iritune.] = Washington,
January 3.-The Democrats have received
news from Florida and Louisiana to-day
which they consider as encouraging. Their
friends in Florida have telegraphed that
Mr.. Drew, the Democratic Governor-elect
OF that State, has been inaugurated without
opposition, and that the Democratic Legis-
lature will also be organized. Iii reported
that they expect the Legislature to
delare the electoral vote Of the State
not to have been legally cast for
Hayes and Wheeler, and to send memo
rial to Congress to that effect. Some OF the
Democrats think that, as the power Of pro-
viding for the manner in which the electors
shall be appointed is conferred upon the
Legislatures Of the States, protest OF this
kind will have weight with the joint con-
vention when it meets. 1t is hardly proba-
BILE, however, that it will be held that a Le-
gislature which came into existence after
the Electoral College had exercised its func-
tons, and no longer exists, can enact any
legislation affecting what that college has
done.
The reports from Louisiana arereceived
by messenger, and are to the effect that the
House committee is positive that it can
make stronger case against the action OF
the Returning Board, and in favor of the
theory that the State was carried for Tilden
and Hendricks, than was made before the
House committee which visited that State
in 1875. The Republicans, on the other
hand, think that the testimony taken before
the Senate committee will be conclusive,
and will show that but for the intimidation
and violence in the bulldozed parishes the
State would undoubtedly have gone by a
decided majority for Hayes and Wheeler.
