WHEN Congress inquired of the Presi-
dent why troops were sent to Petersburg,
Virginia, on election day, as a menace
to the voters, he transmitted letter from
Gen. Sherman, stating that "a gentle
man had given information at the war
office that a breach of the peace was
apprehended. Taking this case as a
precedent hereafter, if Radical rule
continues, nothing will be required to
secure the interference of troops i'll
Southern State affairs except I'm
formation from some =" gentleman :"
who has a selfish interest or malicious
motive to subserve. When there was a
constitution to be obeyed, it prescribed
that the United States should employ its
troops in the affairs Of State only to
protect it from invasion, or on the
application of the Legislature Cor the
Governor, if the Legislature could not
be convened) from domestic violence.
A FEARFUL Snow STORM. have
had, what is unusual in this climate, a
fearful snow storm and if the theory of
our favorte correspondent, Williams
Mr.. Jones, is correct, that the physical
world is in sympathy with the moral
world and that the causes that upset
the affairs of the one, seriously
effect the other, we may assume that
the times are out of joint, that the vii
famous returning boards and threatened
Radical usurpation have played the deuce
generally, and that the country is on the
edge of tremendous events. 1t is not in
the South alone that natures machinery
is working crooked. From every point
of the compass, we read of fearful storms
and tempests, confagrations and disasters,
foreboding the approach of some terrible
national catastrophe and horrible things
generally. The snow-storm here com
meneed late Sunday evening and the New
Year was born amid the wailing and
bowling of the elements as if nature was
stricken with suffering and sorrow over
the birth.

1t is announced upon apparently good
authority that the House Congressional
Committee have, upon thorough investi-

Hayes and Wheeler electors were chosen
in South Carolina by an average major

the vote ought to be so declared without

sion that the Hampton ticket has been
elected to the State offices by majorities
averaging not less than eleven hundred.

The vaudeville troupe named above will

great success. The press, everywhere, gives

The Chronicle of last evening says: " To say

greeted with crowded houses. The Boston

this neighborhood last year will resume oper-
ations where they left off. One of the parties
(probably that under Lieut.. Symons) will

preparing an accurate contour map, setting
forth the sections and other necessary data,
ard making, as far as possible, an exhaustive
report CT the present condition and the future
prospects OF the mines, etc This sur

Our readers are cautioned to keep out of
the brush on the hillside, which is full Of
wood ticks. A lady informed our devil this
morning, that she had eight wood-tick bites
on her body, and could cover them all with
the palm of her hand. The imp looked at
her hand, and remarked that the bites must
be three or four inches apart. When she
took her hand away from the side of his face,
he remarked that he could believe that forty
seven wood tick bites and a Chicago fire
could be crammed into space no larger than
boys ear.

! The following remarks from the New
/ Orleans Democrat, on the subject of
divorce, we think correct. Getting
married and unmarried may become
habit, a custom with many people.
When divorces are easily obtained, for
trivial causes, the desire to capture and
possess many spOuses, by turns, takes
possession of many, just as it does to
have many wives where pOlygamy is
allowed. 1t is really a modified form
of polygamy, and often worse one.
In pOlygamy proper, the husband re-
tains all the wives, while in the other
case he casts off the old one, of whom
he has become tired, to take a new one,
with the same fate, awaiting her. If
n man must have new wife, for tho
sake of variety, let him pay the penalty
by taking care of the old one. The
modern easy divorce laws should be
abolished, or the genuine old system
of pOlygymy, as practiced by the good
old piOus patriarchs, re-establshed.
The divorces and adultery of modern
christianity, will compare very favor
ably, we think, with Moslem polygamy.
The following are the Democrats re-
marks:
There is one provision of the Georgia
constitution, that relating to the law
OF divorce, which must be commended
Tor its pleasing contrast to statutes of
this State and several others farther
North, where the matrimonial moose is
tied as loosely and undOne as easily as
Il lady's shoe-striug. There was q
strong feeling in the convention against
allowing divorces at all, except for in
fidelity, but this 1igid sentiment finally
yielded to the provision finally adopted,
which permits divorces only after they
have been granted by wo DEGREES OBJ
tanned from separate juries, at success
Sive terms of court. These difficult
provisions will greatly discourage di-
vOrces for trivial causes, and afford the
parties All opportunity to become recon-
cileh to each other, as well as invest the
obligation of the marriage VOW with
a sAnCtity it has in great measure lost
in this age of loose ideas on all social
questions. 1t is very similar to the law
in this State as it existed prior to the
enactment of the Radical Legislature
which was engineered through by John
Ray, and which gave an immense slim
nlus to the divorce business in this
State, but which was repealed at the
last session by our Democratic Assem-
oily, which revived the old law.

There il nothing more contradictory,
and therefore unreliable, than reports
of Russian successes, from eOrrespon-
dents with the Russian army. One
would Think they had to put the best
face upon Russian reverses, report q
big sictory for the Russians at every
little failure of the Turks, and some-
times report fictitious victory any
how, iii order to keep ther position
with the army. Last week we pub
lished dispatches stating that the Rus
SLAMS had recaptured Plevna, which
proved to be false. This week, as will
be seen by the dispatches, it appears
one day that the Russians captured
GIieyaca, the Turks STRONGEST position
at PIeyna. Then subsequent dispatches,
from a more reliable quarter, SHOW. that
"wllen the Russians attacked these re-
doubts, the Turks neither ran away
nor asked quarter but simply retired to
the classmates till the Russians got into
the re6loubts, when they charged them
with the bayonet and drove them back
with great slaughter. AS soon as the
Russians entered the fatal redonbts,
which proved d trap, the Russian army
correspondents Immediately sent off.
We suppose. dispatch that they had
been captured. Again, in accounts of
fighting on Tuesday of last week, it
appears that tile Russians were repulsed
all along the entire line. up to five
o'clock iii the evening, when the Rus
SLAMS carried several points and re-
trieyed tue iay--news Of this success
was brought to the Emperor after he
had left the field and, of course lost all
hope OF success on that day, his last
reserves having been engaged. Another
account says the emperor was % the
field till a;ne o'clock this account
was from 4 correspondent at Russian
headquarters, on Wednesday, morning
affer. the battle, and contains nothing
abont the Russian successes Of the day
before.

The Bashi- Bazouks are Turkish sol
diers, and the Cossacks are Russian
the former are fighting in defence OF
Mohammedisn, and the latter fot Chris
tianity. The New Orleans Times, a
sympatllizer of Russia, says: "Truly
there is only one tiend more inhuman
than the Cossack and that is the Baslli
Bazouk--only one monster more fright
full than tie Bashi Bazou!z aud that is
the Cossaek. Every conscientious stake
holder will declare bets OFF, We think
to the contrary-the stakes should be
given to the Cossack, the christian
monster" A christian monster" and
inhuman fendn is superior to all 9TH
