CoxGREss.-Congress has adjourned for
the holidays and the country is safe until
the 9th of January at least. 1t has been a
remarkably peaceful Congress SO far. The
little debate in the Senate, Thursday on the
negro exodus called forth the only display
of spirit that has been shown. 1t didn't
amount to anything, but Thurman and a
few others were afraid that if it was con-
tnued something serious might happen,
and so the Ohio Senator made motion to
adjourn at once. The Senate was, asa con-
sequence, in session but twenty minutes.
The House also adjourned early. But very
little business was done and nothing Of any
Importance.

The Virginia Democrats are fighting like
Kilkenny cats. Whether they will succeed
as we'll as did these two renowned felines
uime alone will tell. They are divided upon
the State debt question. The Readjusters,
who with the black and white Republicans
form the majority of the Legislature, have
bsen carrying things their own way since
that body met and have now about compile
ted the division of spells. Gen. Malone,
the leader Of the Readiusters, has been
elected to the United States Senate to sue
coed Senator Withers. He has always been
a Democrat but it cannot be ascertained
what position he will assume in the Senate.
The Debt.paysrs, or regular Democrats,
have placed themselves upon the right
platform in opposing reputation and
urging the payment ofallj just claims against
the State.

Al5year old school girl in Bellefontaine,
Ohio, had a quarrel with her lover, a boy Of
the same age, few days ago. He refused
to "forgive her." SO she determined on
suicide. She drank bottle of black ink,
but 1t only made her very sick. Then she
drank a bottle of red ink with similar
effect. Next she got rope and proceeded
to hang herself, but her schoolmates discov-
cred her and took away the nope. At last
she went home and cut her throat with a
pocketknife, making an ugly, but not
fatal cash, and she is now under medica!

pair being Influential, their names are

cable dispatch says the reason the
Russian police have so little success in dis
covering the Nihilists is that the evil is
hidden where the police do not venture to
look. The conspirators are to be found in
the drawing,rooms of the rich and noble;
hence police in the employ of court,
within whose very circle these people carry
on their games, is powerlsss against the
Nihilists. Quite so. The French rsvolu-

ACKLEN AT WASHINGTON.
Washington Letter.

Washington Letter.
Acklcn is making a desperate effort
to re-enter society, in which he was
quite a beau last winter, but SO far he
has been omitted from all invitation
lists. He has tried two hotels without
success, and has now gone to third,
bringing his mother and sister, who Is
described as quite pretty and recently
from a French convent, to assist him
in his endeavors to regain his social
position. Mrs. Godfrey, the sister of
Mrs. Congressman Willis, and the lady
who was mixed up in the affair at
Wekler's last spring, has returned to
Washington and courageousfy accepted
Mr.. Acklen's attention again-which
is, of course, the topic of great COM
ment. She has appeared in public with
him several times, and received him at
her hotel but her sister, Mrs. Willis,
a woman of great beauty, and uuiver-
sally respected, does not accompany
them in their attendance at the theatre
and carriage rides, as she did last WIN
ter. When Mrs. Senator Gordon, who
was escorted to Wekler's by General
Rosser, aud was witness of the con-
tretemps last spring, recognizes Mr..
Acklen again, it many be safe to call
him n gentleman; but neither she nor
her husband, with whom Acklen used
to be intimate, have since recognized
him rs an acquaintance.

become frightful. This drug is now

become frightful. This drug is now
used by tens of thousands, is sold by
druggists to non-practitioners, without
stint, and is used without knowledge
of its dangerous tendencies. Indeed,
no one yet knows all the mischief it is
capable Of; 1t Is known that among
these evils are: deadening of the memo
of the coat of the stomach, and ultimate
paralysis of the heart. The warning
has been given by PHYSICIANS, and many
are unwilling to prescribe it at all. The
temperance question concerning the
use Of alcoholic liquors sinks into insig
nificance compared with this question
of narcotics. Yet we have no crusades,
no organized opposition, no Maine
laws. Women are more subject to the
habit than men. Professional men
especially resort to it to quiet their
nerves and relieve their brains of sur
plus blood. It is sapping the intellec-
tual force of the better part of the
community. Its moral effects, if less
loathsome, are more vital than those
manifested by the drunkard. A dis
impossible to believe or trust an opium
eater or chloralist." He will lie in
variably. His moral instincts are
someway blunted. He is likely to be-
come profane and brutal. He becomes
faithless, because he loses faith in others.
The habit is sly one, and thus breeds
suspicion. In every way it subtly I'M
tones the intellect and the morals. Its
attack is upon the brain and the heart,
in both producing paralysis. Stimu-
lants may not be Injurious If properly
administered narcotics must inevita-
bly, do damage. The very definition
of the term implies this. The narcotic
is such simply because it paralyzes a
certain portion of the nervous system.
The simple problem is, whether this
paralysis shall become permanent, or
when it will be permanent and the
victim lose his. life. What is needed is
decided legislation to restrict the sale
Of such drugs as endanger the health
and life. In Germany and England
there is much less laxity. In this
country not one druggist in Thousand
exercises any judgment in the matter,
and law is unknown to compel him.

IN THE U. s. SUPREME COURT.
jackson ct ais. VS.. Ludeling ct als.

Correspondence of N. o. Democrat
WASHINGTON, February =, 1872
The monotony of the proceedings in
is sometimes broken by incidents
which regular correspondents fail to
observe. A casual visitor sometimes
gets we'll rewarded for the time spent
there. Such a scene occurred January
20, when John T. Ludeling, ex-Chief
Justice of Louisiana, was effectually
squelched by Chie9 Justice Waite. This
is tho moro significant because Lude-
ling is connected by marriage with
Judge Waite.
The second installment of the notori-
Gus case Of Henry Jackson and others
VS.. John T. Ludeling and others, was
fixed to be tried January %, 1879.
When the case was called, that day,
Judge J. s. Black announced to the
court that his employment, as the at
torney of Ludeling ct ais, was not
complete and that he was unprepared
and unwilling to try the case, at least
before the arrival OF Ludeling, who was
then due in Washington, but had been
delayed by a railroad misconnection.
The Chief Justice had received tele-
gram to that effect from Ludel;ng,
stating that he would be present next
day and ready to try the case. On the
next day the case was called, Judge
Black and Ludeling both present !;
also Judge Campbell for jackson ct ais.
Ludeling arose and asked that the case
be delayed and be re-hxed. He stated
AS his reasons for asking this delay that
ON his arrival in Washington he had
found bis counsel, Judge Black, unpre-
pared to argue the case, and that he
was unwilling to take the whole argu-
ment upon himself, unsupported by
counsel, because he was not familiar
with the proceedings and practice in
