SKETCH OF SENATOR M'cREARy's Sue
cEssoR, GENERAL JOHN s. WILLIAMS.
FRASFoRT, KY, January l7.-General
John 8. Williams was elected to-day. on
Joint BALLOT, U. s. Senator from Ken
lucky, 10 succeed Thomas G. McCreary,
by vote of 126 to IL for Boyd, repub-
hcan.
General John 8. C"Cerro Gordo'' Will
liams is unquestionably popular man in
the rural districts. He Is very fluent
and even effective speaker, of good pres
ence and figure, and not disposed TO hesi-
tate at any of the devices that viii move
a crowd. In the contest for the guber-
material nomination in 1865 he resorted
to the practice hitherto unknownin Ken
lucky, of making a personal canvass
through the state, Colonel j. Stoddard
Johnston being his most formidable OPP
ponents, and in its course there were sew
eral controversies that came very near
resulting seriously.
General Williams was beaten for the
nomination by James b. McCreary, the
present governor, and again a contestant
against him in the fight just ended. Gen.
eral Williams won his sobriquet in the
Mexican war, and fought, also with some
note, in the Confederate army. He has
been an out-and-out infiationist from the
very beginning of the Allen movement,
and, of course, has exceeded his past rec
ord in the violence with which he has
advocated these views during the present
contest. He is man of some fortune and
of good birth and education.

EFFECTS OF THE FLOODS IN
VIRGINIA.,

NORFOLK, Va, Jan. l6.-The whole
Roanoke river country is laid Waste by
the recent floods, and presents q startling
scene of devastation. Those who have
been up and down the river say that the
farms along its course for one or two
miles back are nearly all destroyed.
Farm houses, barns and stables are swept
away, fences destroyed-all things por-
traying general ruin, caused by the
waters. The complaints of the farmers
are hearlrendiDg and real. The floods
have ruined them and left them destitute
of the means to recommence life on theiI
barren and wasted land. The picture
is piteous one, and must be seen to be
realized. The Roanoke hos again com.

There are not wanting indications Of
real revival of prosperity.
First. The revival of foreign i'm
migration. For the first time in five or
six years the tide of foreign immigration
has set in towards this port. This is
an unmistakable sign of prosperity.
Second. The under-current Of the
stock exchange is buoyant. No bear
movement has been successful since the
passage of the Silver bill. Every down
ward movement has been almost in.
stantly followed by an upward move
ment.
Third. Railroad building has beer
resumed, more especially in the fal
West. This, of course, has already
reacted on the iron industries Of Penn
sylvania, and the increased activity o
these viii, in time, produce an increas
ed activity in the New England mills
Fourth. The prosperity of the fal
West is phenomenal. Nothing similal
has been known heretofore. The har
vests promise great abundance, and tht
tide of settlement is flowing IN rapidly
New lands are being brought under cul
tivation; feeders to the great trunl
lines of railroad are being constructed
and the demand for manufactured pro
ducts is sure to be large.
Fifth. Our forsign commerce
steadily increasing. This is anothe
excellent criterion of returning pro:
perity.-Neoo York Graphic.

Three young men from Monmouth,
Hl.S and one from Chicago, have Just
accomplished a very successful erpose
old. III. Mott, q somewhat famous
materializing medium of Memphis,
Mo. They spent several days in
Memphis, and attended d number OF
seances at Motifs house. The tests
were not satisfactory, and the party
beganto suspect that Mott was fraud.
One Of their number, named j. H.
Potter, procured z hollow ring with a
small hole in front and tube on one
side, which was connected with hoI-
low rubber ball, which, having preyi-
Qusly been filed with an alcoholic So
luton of auiline, was seereted in his
hand. On the third evening, feeling
confident that he recognized the fea-
lures OF Mott in the spirits face, he
put the squirting ring on his little
finger, and when called to the aper-
ture OF the cabinet friend appeared
In whom he recognized Mott. When
the curtain parted and the back ap.
peared at the aperture near where
Potter's hand rested, he compressed
the rubber belt, squirting the anaIine
solution into the spirits face.
The face was Immediately with.
drawn. The assistants were call
ed for, and there was commotion in
side the cabinet. The party rushed
70 the door, and in the confusion Not
was heard clrsing Potter for squirt
ing something over his face. The
door was opened, and the solution
was found to be spattered all ovel
Motifs face and clothing. Mott un
dertoek te account for this by saying
that the spirit came to him so quick,
ly after the dye was thrown on it thai
the impression remained upon mis-
(Mott's) face. The friends of the me.
dium afterward held that the analine
must have been thrown directly upon
him while sitting in the chair. Ar
investigation showed the dye to be
sPattered on the arms, cushion and
back of the chair, thus proving that
it could not have been squirted while
Mott was sitting on the chair. Mott
was very much enrsged at this bold
and successful exposure. He got 8
