WASHINGTON, Nov. 14.-A gem
tleman from North Carolina reports
the Greenback party in that State
to be as decd as a salted mackerel.
He estimates that all there is left
of the party could be loaded into
an omnibus and carted to the poor
house with single team.
The report that DR.. FELTON,, mem
Der Of Congress from the Ninth
Georgia District, has cut loose from
the Democratic party, occasions no
surprise here. He was not in har-
mony with his party last winter
and spring, telling his assoei-
ates that they were making asses
of themselves in forcing the extra
session and Potter investigation.
The late elections have confirmed
the wisdom of Felton's observa-
tions. It is known that he and
Alex. Stephens are intimate friends,
and it is believed that there will be
strong development of independ~
entism among the Georgia delega~
ton this winter. Cd.

LOUISIANA.

New ORLEANS, Nov. 18.-In the
Senate Sub Committee investigation
to-day Peter Williams testified re>
garding the election in the Seventh
ward in 1876. Moore, who was
declared elected to the Legislature
from this ward, told witness that
the clerks in the Packard Legislature
used to answer for members when
the roll was called. Moore gave
witness to understand that he could
tell tale about Kellogg's election
that would be useful to the Demo
Gratis, out of which they could make
a pile of money. They agreed to
this, but Moore being offered a place
in the Custom House, which he ac<
cepted, he would now testify to the
contrary. Blanchard, who is now
dead, gave Moore three hundred
blank registration papers to use in
the Seventh ward. Moore says the
ward went Democratic but was
counted for the Republicans.
After the election the regis
tration books were taken to the
Custom House and the names
were erased. D. H. Monier,
United States Supervisor in the
election of 1876, testified: "The
election was very fair. No trouble
occurred and no protest was entered,
yet poll No. 3 was thrown out by
the Returning Board. Nearly FIVE
hundred votes were cast at this poll,
about ITO majority for the Demo
Gratis The witness said the re-
turns had all been made according
to law.

THE INDIANS.

DENVER, Nov. 16.-A Los Pinos
dispatch of the 18th list, says that
Ouray's power to-day is trembling
in the balance, and within a few
days we shall witness a final sue
cess on his part in establishing his
absolute authority over the tribe, or
his virtual reinforcement and the as
tendency of the war faction. He
has succeeded in exacting from the
hostiles to appear, but as to giving
testimony and all further proceed,
ings they decide for themselves.
Sowerwack testified, but lied
from beginning to end. General
Adams having put the question,
"Was | ever in your house on
Grand river 2" he answered, "No. "
Sowermack was then discharged,
and Adams made the following
speech to Ouray: "The last answer
was not true; | did stop in Sower-
mack's tent, and there we had a
council from II o'clock until 6 in
the morning. Sowermack was
present, and with others
was certainly fully cognizant
of what was being done, and to o-day
ne comes here and says he does not
know anything. For that reason
believe he has not spoken the truth,
nor does he wish to speak the truth.
| believe also that none of them
wish to speak the truth and there,
fore it is almost unnecessary to 60
any further. They have refused
mention the name of a single In
dian, while they we'll knew the
names of all of them, and I now
present the situation to you, so that
you can recommend some other
course whereby We may execute the
laws of the Government. The
Government wants to ascertain who
were engaged in the difficulties at
White River. We want the names
OF the guilty parties, and if
you think We can not find
out who they were we had better
60 home" Ouray replied: 81
can not force them to say what they
do not wish. I brought them here
that they might speak for them
selves He afterwards added :
" Show me any act of law by
which man may be compelled to
convict HIMSELF Ouray afterwards
acknowledged that he was afraid of
assassination.

doing so it was certainly unknown
to him (the Captain). He had not
given any positive orders on that
subject, but it was an understood
thing on the ship. He had been
off duty about ten minutes when
the collision occurred, but had not
got to sleep. He heard the cry of
"Sail ahead p and when he got on
deck he saw the ship approaching,
not more than hundred yards off.
He saw no light on the ship and
had no time to look for one. He
rang the bell'to stop his own vessel,
but had hardly stopped her head>
way when the collision occurred.
Being asked the question, "Where
did you strike the ship?' Capt.
Lockwood answered, "We did not
strike the ship; the ship struck US
just abaft stern, just abaft bow,
about six to eight feet abaft.
That's as near as we can judge,
because we had no chance to see.
She struck US at an angle Of As
degrees; she went into our ship
about twenty or twenty-five feet,
within twenty feet of the foremast."' -
Capt. Lockwood then explained, by
means of models, the positions of
the vessels, and stated that the
holes in either side of the Lady Oc-
tavia were made by her
passing through the bow of
the Champion. The engineer and
a seaman Of the Champion also tes>
tilted. The latter witness was asked
whether his vessel ran into the
Octavia or the Octavia ran into the
Champion, but was unable to give a
positive answer on the point. The
examination was then closed, but
| will be resumed in the morning.
The survivors Of the steamship crew
are present before the Court of In
quiry and their testimony, which
will occupy several days, will be
presented.

Ones physical frame-his body, his
muscles, his feet, his hands-is only a
living machine. It is the mind, con-
trolling and directing that machine,
that gives it power and efficacy. The
successful use of the body depends
wholly upon the mind-upon its ability
to direct the will. If one ties his arm
in sling, it becomes weak and finally
powerless. Keep it in active exercise,
and it acquires Vigor and strength, and
is disciplined to use this strength as de-
sired; just as ones mind, by active
ex xercise in thinking, reasoning, plan
ming, studying, observing, acquires vigor,
strength, power of concentration and
direction.
Plainly, then, the man who exercises
his mind in reading and thinking, gives
it increased power and efficiency, and
greater ability to direct the efforts of his
physical frame-his work-to better re-
suits than he can who merely or mainly
uses his muscles If aman reads book
or paper, even one ne knows to be erro-
neous, it helps him by the effort to COM
bat the errors, The combat invigorates
his mind.
Of all men, the farmer, the cultivator,
needs to read more, to strengthen his
reasoning powers, so that they may help
out and make more effective, more
profitable, his hard toll. There can be
no doubt that that farmer who supplies
himself with the most reading-the
most of other mems thoughts and ex-
periences-will in the end, if not at
once, be the most successful
