GRANT sent in a nomination t
the senate the other day to make
one Sharpe, a brother-in-law, 8
paymaster in the army. The senate
has generally done Grants bidding
without question. Especially has
this been noticed in cases of rela-
tives nominated for Office. But as
Grants term begins to draw to a
close so his consequence declines.
Brother-in-law Sharpe was not con-
irmed, and may be thrown on the
cold charities Of the world for what
the senate cares. The military
committee reported adversely and
Sharpe failed to get in; and that is
not all-two more nominations re-
main Enacted upon unless it has
been done very lately. In order to
make good places for two Of his
secretaries, one Of whom, at least,
has done much of his dirty work,
he nominated Levi P. Lucky to be
secretary for the territory of Utah
and G. G. Snifin for suryeyor-gen-
aral of Idaho. They are yet hang
ing upon the ragged edge, SO to
This is not a good time for

AN ANALYSTS on rae YOTR.

The electoral bill passed the SEN
ate by ayes, AZ; nays, IL. 1t was
supported by 26 Democrats and q
Republicans; opposed by l6 Re
publicans and l Democrat. The
senators not voting were Norwood
of Georgia, 0glesby and Logan of
Illinois, Harvey of Kansas, Key of
Tennessee, Paddock and Hitchcock
of Nebraska, Wadleigh of New
Hampshire, Anthony of Rhode
Island, Spencer of Alabama, and
Ferry Of Michigan. If these had
all been present and entitled to
vote it is likely that Logan, Ferry
and Spencer, and one of the
Nevada senators would have voted
against the bill and the others
for it, thus making the result fifty.
four yeas and twenty-onen nays. The
States of Delaware, lows, Kentucky,
Maryland, Massachusetts,, Min
nesota, Missouri, Nevada, New
Jersey, New York, North Carolina,
Virginia, West Virginia, Vermont
and Colorado gave an undivided
vote in favor Of the bill. Maine
and Arkansas, two happy extremes,
were the only States that were In
divided in opposition. The house
passed the bill by yeas 191,
nays eighty-six; absent fourteen.
OF those who supported and voted
for the bill 153 we're Democrats,
twenty-seven Republicans, and the
remaining eleven are classed
variously Independent Republicans,
Liberal Republicans, etc, The bill
was voted against b ysixty-Seyen Re-
publicans and nineteen Democrats.
Tennessee voted solid for the bill,
with the exception Of Thornburg,
Republican. G. Wiley Wells, of
Mississippi, voted for the bill, while
Slemmons Of Arkansas, Singleton
of Mississippi, Jones, Blackburn,
Milliken and Knott of Kentucky,
Bradford, Williams, Forney, Cald-
well of Alabama, Wells of Texas,
Smith of Georgia, and other DEM
ocrats voted against the bill. The
united result of both houses is as
follows: Yeas, 23S; nays, 1903;
absent, 70. Democrats voting for
the bill, 179; Democrats voting
against it, 20. Republicans who
voted for the bill, 40 ; Republicans
who voted against it, SO. And
thus the record goes to the country.

Home Life a hundred Years Ago.

Home Life a Hundred Years Ago.
One hundred years ago not a
pound of coal, or cubic foot of illu-
minating gas had been burned in
the country. No iron stoves were
used, and no contriyances for econ
omizing heat were employed until
DR.. Franklin invented the iron
framed fireplace which still bears
his name. All the cooking and
warming in town and country was
done by the aid of fire kindled on
the brick hearth or oven. Pine
knots or tallow candles furnished
the light for the long winter nights,
and sanded floors supplied the place
Of rugs and carpets. The water
used for household purposes was
drawn from deep wells by the
cranking "sweep.p No form Of
pump was used in this country, as
far as we learn, until after the pres
ent century commenced. There
were no friction matches in those
days by the aid of which a fire
could be easily kindled, and if the
fire went out" upon the hearth,
and the timber was damped so that
the spark would not catch, the al
tentative remained of wading
through the snow a mile or so, to
borrow a brand of q neighbor.
Only one room in any house was
warm, unless some of the family
were i'll; in all the rest the temper
allure was at zero during the nights
in the winter. The men and chill
dren Of a hundred years ago UNI
dressed and went to their beds in a
temperature holder than that of
our modern barns and woodsheds,
and they never complained.

caucu..

WASHINGTON, January 29.-Ths Re
publican senators were in caucus to-day
nearly two hours, and, without coming
to any conclusion, adjourned till ,hree
o'clock. The whole time was consumed
in a general discussion, FIRST, whether
the passage of the electoral bill was a
Republican surrender; aud second,
whether the Republican members Of the
commission should consist of advocates
Of the so called surrender or Of oppo.
uents Of the bill. The Democratic sen.
ators may not have any caucus as it
seems to be understood that Thurman
aud Bayard will be selected to represent
them on the commission.

At the last term Of the Circuit Court,
among the cases heard by Judge Kershaw. in
which be reserved his opinion, was that of 7.
S. Hayward ct al %. Erwin and Steele. ad-
ministrators. This was suit by the execu-
tors of the heirs of Col. Alexander Moultris,
of Charleston, against the administrators Of
George Steele, deceased, to compel them to
account to the plaintiffs for moneys collected
by George Steele, in bis life time, on notes,
which had passed into the hands of George
Steele when be became the administrator Of
N. P. Kennedy. The defendants pleaded
that Mr.. Kennedy had never been legally an.
thorized to act for the Moultries; that they
were accountable to the Kennedy estate only,
and not to the plaintiffs; and that the claim
was barred by the statute Of limitation.
Messrs. Thomson & Spencer and George D.

and every precaution was taken to prevent
the spread of the disease to the other inmates.
The unfortunate man was himself tenderly
removed to Bowdon Hospital, where the
usual remedies we're applied without pro-
ducing any effect, for the patient still remain
ed insensible. At last, his situation appear
ing hopeless, it was thought better to desist
from further attempts to rekindle the faint
spark of life that was rapidly dwindling:
Late in the night, however, to the surprise of
the hospital attendants, the patient suddenly
recovered consciousness, and, in strong voice
and language, demanded to know where he
was" He was informed that he had been ill
with cholera, and was now in hospital, and
was implored to remain perfectly quiet, as his
only chance of recovery. "lll with cholera J.
he shouted Indignantly; Il have only been
drunk )" and, to the CONSERVATION of the doc
tor and his employer, who had given him up
for lost, this statement turned out to be true.
