Strings for the Puppets to Dance.
WASHINGTON, Dec. Si.-In 1873 an
order was issued from the War Depart
ment. prohibiting officers of the army
from communicating directly, orally or
in writing. with Congress or Congress
men for redress " actual or assumed
grievances, or with view Of influencing
legislation in any particular. II they
had anything to say, they were to say 1t
through superior officer or through the
War Department. The occasion Of this
order was the communication OF certain
facts and circumstances to the House
Military Committee, which the Depart
ment would have preferred not to have
made public. That order was denounc-
ed on the floor OF Congress as an attempt
10 gag officers of the army, andf0 make
the War Department officials judges Of
what should or should not be made
known TO the law makers OF the country.
BY on order issued to-day, that order of
1873 was practically revoked, and army
officers are again at liberty TO advocate
or oppose, either verbally or in writing,
any measures pending before Congress,
the only restriction being that leaves of
absence are not TO he granted specially to
enable Officers 10 visit Washington to In
/ fiuence legislation. As this new order
comes just on the eve OF the considera-

The EasIOn Opera House SOLD

Ab'e's Opera House. al Easlon, was
sold to John Eyremau, Jesse lanes, John
Knegot and John Dctw eiler for SIU,00O
clear of all encnmbrances. This is con-
sdered very cheap, as the ground alone
is valued at that hgure by business mel.
The buildings and site cost Mr.. Ablo
about sl20,000, and the yearly revenue
in rents, for the front building alone,
even these dull times, is about 81, 900 and
for the Opera House property as much
more. During the brisk times Of fouI
years ago the yearly income for rents
aggregated about $4,000.
If some enterpri sing fellow would now
corner the market on DR.. Bulls cough
syrup he could make his fortune; fol-
there are thousands who would j atheI
pay double the retail price than be with
out this valuable remedy.

JEFFERSON DAVIS.
A Mississippi Lady Dies and Be-
queaths to Him Her Entire
Estate,

New Orleans, July Sit is learn.
ed that the late Mrs. Sarah A. Dor
sey, of Mississippi, who died in this
city last week, leaves a will be-
queathing her whole estate to Jeffer-
son Davis. In making this bequest
Mrs. Dorsey refers to the great SER
vices of Mr.. Davis in behalf of the
South, and reproaches his country
men for their failure in gratitude,
and regrets the small contribution
which she is able to make for his
relief, The estate embraced in the
legacy includes two large planta
tions in the upper part of that State
and an elegant villa at BeauYoir, on
the sea coast, where Mr.. DAVIS is
now sojourning, the climate and
situation of which have proved es
pecially favorable to Mr.. Davis
health; and his present occupation
of study and labor in the prepare
ton of his book defensive of his adj
ministration of Office OF President of
the Confederate States. This lega-
cy of Mrs. Dorsey will make the
circumstances of Mr.. Davis quite
easy and comfortable.

Courier-J Journal: The French I'm
perialists are in a condition of
grave ince-titude. Rouher, the
Bonapartist machine manager, can
not affiliate with Prince jerome on
account of his Republican proclivi-
ties, and jerome, moreover, has
thrown wet blanket on the men of
the violet by his Indifference to the
prosecution of the bogus claims of
the dynasty. The young Prince
Victor is not inclined to enter the
lists, and the other pretender,
Prince Charles, grandson of Lucien
Bonaparte, is not talked of as a
candidate. The American Bona
parties are not IN the ring, and the
whole Bonapartist faction is like a
flock of sheep without a leader or
a shepherd. There is little doubt
that if the French Republicans be-
have themselves they can hold
their present vantage ground
against both Orleanists and Imperi
alists, and, as they are taking strin-
gent measures TO purge the army
of Imperialist Generals, they are
doubtless Watchful enough of their
own interests.

Death Of Duncan N. Brown.

The death of Duncan M. Brown,
son of ex-Gov. Neill S. Brown,
which occurred at his fathers resi-
dence, in Edgefeld, on Main street,
near South Eighth, Thursday night,
was learned with deep regret by his
large circle of friends. He was Sec
ond Lieutenant of the Porter Rifles
aud, when that company went to St
Louis last fall, he contracted 3 cold
which subsequently took the form
of consumption and terminated ia
tally after many months illness
For several years he occupied the
position of Deputy Criminal Court
Clerk, and at all times performed
his duties to the complete satifac
ton of those with whom he had bus
mess. In society circles he took 6
prominent part, and was universally
liked by all the young people. HI
was 81 years Of age American.

Good Work That Congress Did.

Memphis Appeal: The Cincin-
natl Enquirers Washington cor
respondent calls attention to the
work accomplished by the Demo
Gratis during the extra session of
Congress just closed. Eleven i'm
portant measures were passed
They may be classed as four poiiti
cal, three financial, one sanitary,
one Internal Improvements, and one
salary bill. The correspondent
says:
OF the four political bills, three
may become laws. First, the army
bill, with its prohibition of the use
of the army as police to keep the
peace at the polls. Second, the bill
repeating the odious jury test oath !;
and, third, the bill providing a new
and non partisan method of draw
ing juries. The fouth, the marshals
bill, with it's restriction to prevent
the employment of deputy marshals
to interfere in elections, has failed
to become a law, but that failure
deprives the Administration of any
mOAOJ W pay CHSLH' IL diSO NC
prives the United States Marshals
and their regular court deputies of
their fees, but does not deprive
them of their salaries, which are
provided for in the legislative and
executive appropriation bill. which
should be added to the total in the
twelfth important measure passed
upon.
OF the financial bills only one be-
came a law, to-wit: The bill max
ing subsidiary silver coins change
able for greenbacks in amounts of
twenty dollars or less The War
ner bill. to make trade dollars ex-
changeable for standard dollars,
dollar for dollar, passed the House,
but both were hung up in the Sen
ate Committee on Finance until
next December.
The Sanitary bill is known as the
yellow fever bill, and established a
National Board of Health, with
general supervision of the sanitary
condition of the country. The in.
ternal Improvement bill is the bill
establishing a commission to make
a survey of the Mississippi river
and report upon the best method of
protecting the banks from overflow,
and improving the navigation of
the river. The tariff bill is the bill
already mentioned, placing quinine
and sulphate of qpinine on the free
list; and the salary bill is known as
the letter carriers bill, and provides
for a small increase in the salaries
of the letter carriers all over the
country, as has already been stated
in these dispatches
This is very fair exhibit of the
work done-an exhibit that Demo-
Gratis can be proud of. IL proves
that, despite the Republican party,
backed by Hayes, the Democrats
have accomplished a great deal of
good in the interest of economy
and reform. Every measure carried
is a direct benefit to the people.

Mr.. EDIToR:-Several weeks have
elapsed since our quiet neighbor
hood has had a representation II
your valuable paper. Since then
many things have transpired of in
terest. Several fair young ladies
have been visiting in this vicinity
Misses Lizzie and Mamie Walker
and Miss Matte Paisley. The
Misses Walker of Houston county
were accompanied home by Miss
Elura Walker. When their depart
ure was announced the waters be
came troubled, the evergreen with
cred, while j. NJ. p. whispered
Howard it is. We are looking
forward with bright anticipations
for the arrival of Miss May Causby
of leighton, Ala.
We have a hourishing Sabbath
school at this place, but having
Rev. j. f. Walker as our pastor
nothing but success can crown our
efforts. His precepts and example
would ever beckon us onward to
higher heights in the religion we
profess.
If any one wishes to see lumber
handled in q business manner we
would recommend them to Thomp-
sons saw mill.
Crops are looking exceedingly
well at present, and our hopes beat
high as regards hog and hominy.
1--WE eat to live" The wheat is all
threshed and garnered. The yield
was small per acre, but of fine quail
ity. The scarcity of money 1 fear
will cause us to rush it on the mar
ket regardless of price.
We attended church Sunday at
Mt. Carmel. Rev. Byron preached
from the text, "Love your enemies"
He handled it after his usual man
ner, which was highly edifying to
all who were blessed with the prlvi-
lege of hearing him. Few men can
more completely ingraft themselves
into the confidence of their hocks
than he has into his.
The health of the community is
very good. Mr.. Samuel Causby's
health is worse than usual, being
confined to his bed half of his time.
HIS health has not been sufficient
for mercantile life thls season.
