NEW ORLEANS, January 5.-Both
Republican houses have passed a bill
recognizing the malitia and appro.
priating $4,000 for the purpose, and
making military organizations outside
of The MALTA illegal. The bill is now
before Packard.
NEW YORK, January 5.-A New
Orleans special to the Herald, dated
January /, Gays the Republicans are
enrolling the MALTA daily, and Gen
eral Longstreet, who arrived yesterday
will be in command. An Executive
order has been issued on the State
treasury to pay no more money out OF
the interest, school and general funds,
all present funds being held subject to
the order for defensive purposes. No
forcible opposition will be made to pre-.
vent Nichols Inauguration, but all

Scarcity of Money.

There is no doubt but the present
condition of all kinds of business and
industry is fearfuliy depressed, and ii
bchooves every family to look care
fully to their expenses. Winter is
coming on when children are liable
to Group, Whooping Cough, ETC.
Coughs and Colds will prevail every
where, and Consumption, with other
throat and lung diseases, will carry OH
mauy.-Thcse diseases should not be
neglected. Doctors bills are expen-
sive, and we would advise u people
to use BoscHEE's GERMAN SYRUP.
It never has failed. One bottle at I:
cents will keep your whole family vel
during the winter. Two doses viii
relieve any case. Sold in all towns i'll
the United States, and by your Drug
pist, w. n. Penney. 3m.

How TT LOOKS TO a WHITE MAN.
-Scdnliu, NO., December 29.-The
following is an extract from a letter
written from Charleston S. c., by
Hon. John +. Philips, member, of
Congress from this district. Colonel
Philips is n member of the South Car
olina investigating committee:
II have been in this State three
weeks nearly, and have been AS hard
ut work as if trying a complicated case
in court. | was at Columbia two
weeks, and am here now chairman of
u subcommittee, grinding the out
rage The vote in this State was very
close, as it appears on the papers.
X Il The negroes swear by pla-
toons and with u reckless energy both
appalling and amusing. On the IS
lands and plantations the negroes ale
silAply unnliXed and irredecmaole saw
ages. Their gibberish is an unknown
tongue, and they are as spirits damned.
The Legislature is q revolving s,ecta-
Gle that Knocks civilization and beggars
description. Shades of departed glory
bespeuks the situation. No man can
form any conception of the PROSTATE,
wretched condition of this people
without an ocular view. Hampton is
u noble Roman, and unless the bayo-
net is invoked to control and oust the
existing judiciary, he will starve out
Chamberluin's carbon crew."
There is a rage for all kinds of FIRM
ges.

sumo work.

Our Christmas,

The holidays were enjoyed in Due
West with hearty good will. The
weather was naughty and bad ; il
could scarcely have been worse-cold,
cloudy, ice, snow, sleet, furnished q
mixture that was rs unpleasant a. it
was uncommon in this latitude. But
still eve.y body kept in good humor
and tried TO make the best of it. [The
Lord no doubt will be glad to hear Of
this equinimity Of temper under such
trying dispensation of the weather.
THE RECEPTION.
In the Female College Chapel, the
young people, and some old ones, too,
had Il pleasant time Monday evening
the younger ones in talking and
laughing, and singing and-and the
older ones in looking IN. 1t WAS voted
unanimously to be one Of the pleasant
est entertainments we have ever
had.
THE CONCERT.
To say that the Comets gave a Con-
cert Tuesday night, assisted by DR..
Edwards, is to say that we had good
music, instrumental and vocal. Long
before the close we think every one
felt that he had got tie worth Of his
money. The Band had just received
their new instruments and they used
them skilliully. The Comets were as
sisted by Miss Morse and Miss Le-
Gal.
THE CANTATA OF TIE FEMALE COL
LEGE.
This was a musical entertainment
given by the young ladies, (teachers
and pupils) of the Female College,
Friday night. We heard it pronoun-
ced by good judges to be the best thing
Of the Kind we ever had in Due West.
All said 1t was splendid-equal to
many of the best entertainments in
cities. 1t did great credit to both
teachers and pupils. 1t showed Miss
LEGAL, who has charge OF the vocal
Department in tho College, to be a
most competent and Efficient Teacher.
The exercises were closed with an
amusing exhibition, of Mrs. Jar ley
and her wax figures, Us found in Dick
ems Old Curiosity shop, which
brought down the Lousc.-A. r.. Pres.

Life and Letters In France.

At the scaton High School. yesterday after
noon, Mr.. C. II. Harding delivered a very enter
tanning lecture on Nine. do scvigne and the age In
which she lived.
Ater briefly sketching the manners OF that day
and showing how far tho study Of conversation as
fine art had outstripped that Of correspondence
Mr.. Harding commenced speaking Of the healthy
scholastic influences which surrounded Nine de
sevigne aud her friend Mime de Lafayette and
which bore forth such excellent literary fruits.
The brilliant society which filled the salons OF the
Hotel de Rainbouillet was minutcly described and
some mention was made OF those other assemblies
where the poets and authors of the Augustan Age
met for brilliant discourse and sparkling inter.
change Of views The causes which made Nine.
de seyignes letters so successful having been traced
to their source. the letters themselves were taken
up, the beauties Of style which distinguish them
pointed out and the graphic powers Of delneation
possessed by the writer imprdcsed upon the minds
Of the audience. Brief allusion was then made to
Nine. Lafayette's friend and eo.worker, La Roche.
foucauld, whose maNims voltaire styled as The
proverbs OF clever people" The lecturer conclu.
ded his most interesting and instructive address by
showing how greatly the French nation had prof.
ted by the literature Of the Augiistan Age, and
how immensely important 1t was hat taste for
letters shoul be encouraged and developed among
the young In our own time.
