A Mississippi Congressman who has been at Washington reports the Greenback split as contracting rather than widening of late. It gathers its strength from the dissatisfaction of the negroes with Bourbon Democracy. He considers the shooting of Dixon, whom he termed a mere desperado, as in no true sense a political act. His remarks, if correctly report ed, disclose, however, the fact that the negro vote of Mississippi is as unreconclled to De- mocracy as ever. All it needs is fair sprink- ling of whites to officer the negroes, and Bour- bon Democracy would go down with crash. If such is the case the determination of the party in power to crush down any sort of po- litical independency IS readily accounted for.

\ bill is pending in the French Assembly for sale of the crown jewels, valued at from three to four million dollars Of the propriety of selling these gewgaws of royalty there can be little doubt.

Kalloch was chosen May or of San Francisco, and the workingmen elect nearly their whole ticket of local officers in that city. and two of the three railroad com missioners, the most important of the state officers. g
 In Maine, Monday, the Republicans made large gains, but not enough to elect their can- didate for Governor. The House is strongly Republican, but the Senate, which elects the Governor, in case there is no majority on the popular vote, is in doubt.

The Springfield Republican in an editorial on village improvement speaks of fences as follows:
 The best thing for village where there really exists in it's full sense community, where the neighbors all know each other and respect each others rights, is to do away with fences altogether; as any one will say who has seen the experiment tried, as in Williams town. or our neighboring Longmeadow, or in parts of one or two streets in this city; the park-like aspect is very attractive. Besides that, the economy of It is an important consid- eration. The possible damage from stray ani- mals of any sort is not much beside the ex- travagaut cost of fences. ...

The NaDOleOnic Dynasty.

The correspondent of THE Times ,
at Paris says "a majority of the Bon
apartists are understood to concur with
NJ. Rouher in acknowledging Prince
Jerome Bonaparte as chief OF the Napo-
leonic dynasty. They argue that the
will of the late Prince Imperial, which
asks the x-Empress Eugene to co
operateNith Prince Victor, was written
on the assumption that the testator
would survive Prince Jerome Bona
parte. This reasoning, however, is
considered transparent excuse for the
nonobservance Of the impracticable will
of the Prince Imperial. NJ. Rouher's
retirement from active politics is evil
IDENTIFY owing to feeling that he and
Prince Jerome could not act together,
and the latter could not be set aside
What, between Prince Jerome Bona
parties possible adherence to the
Republic and the impossibility of
the clerical section of the BOnapar-
fists choosing leader without either
action against the wishes Of the Prince
Imperial's will or provoking distinct
disavowa from Prince Victor, the
Bonapartsts are in one of the most
perplexing positions ever occupied by
any party

Closing Of Congress.

The closing scenes of the eXtraordi-
nary session in both branches of Con
gress were extremely quiet. Senators
and Representatives were apparently
as glad TO get away as the country is
glad to have them go. The Republi-
cans, in fultillment of formal duty,
voted against adjournment, on the
ground that the business tor which the
session had been called had not been
performed, but, they did not, of course,
expect to accomplish anything by their
votes. In the Senate, CLEAN of inter
est was communicated to the last hours
Of the session by the passage Of the
Free Quinine bill. Mr.. Morrill's objec.
ton to the measure was based on the
heavy internal revenue taxes to which
the American manufacturers are sub
jected, but it was too late to make any
additions to the bill without killing it.
In the House, desperate attempts We're
made to pay various Democratic ap-
pOntees who have been appointed
without authority of law, and some of
these succeeded. But. on the whole,
very little obnoxious legislation is be
lteved to have slipped through.

WattersOn and COnkIIng.

Watterson has been embracing every
opportunity to Show his dislike to Conk-
ling. and thereby hangs a tale, which
is told by Washington correspondent
of the Cleveland Leader. During the
electoral count, Watterson was ell
trusted with the delicate mission of ap-
preaching the austere New Yorker,
with view to helping Tildens chances.
The keLtuckian sent Conkling an invi-
tatlon to dine with him, to which Lo
answer was returned. A second invita-
ton was sent, when polite note, re-
GREETING inability to attend, was for.
"arded. Soon after third invitation
was extended, and no answer was made
to it. AT this the enraged Kentuckian
sent an insolent demand to know why
he was thus snubbed. He then got a
rep y-most men do from Conkling un-
der like circumstances. The top. lofty
New Yorker said: "The reason why |
do not accept your invitation is because
| do not know you; have not the
inclination to make your acquaint-
anca, nor the time to eat your din
ners." Watterson has never forgiven
COnkling and never will.

IptuHtlce COlDDIained SDf.

Complaint is being made to us of the
apparently partial spirit which is con-
trolling the actions of the butcher In
vestigating Committee. This partiality
or one-sided action, is evidenced in the
published statement to the effect
that the Committee had adjourned
over until Monday the 7th inst, for
the purpose of giving the friends of Mr..
butcher time to collect and offer rebut-
ting evidence. 1t is thought that this
action comes with very bad grace af-
ter members of the same committee had
done all in their power to bring before
them such evidence as would prove de-
rogatory to the evidence and prejudicial
to the interests Of George NJ. butcher.
Having done this against the accused
it is but right and proper that the same
efforts should be made in his favor. C.

Az IL was IN their BOyhOOd,

On last Monday afternoon a number
of the prominent men of this city went
out TO the farm of EX sheriff Armstrong
for the purpose Of assisting that gentle
man in getting his hay under cover.
Among the pitchers were some Of our
high officials, some merchants, contrac-
tors and builders and some retired gen.
tlemen. After short time was spent
looking at the hay without much effort
to put it away, they gathered in group
i'll field under some trees, and here
the time was spent in speech making,
joke cracking, and feasting. From this
the conclusion is drawn that if the corn
huskers do no more work than this par
ty they had better stay at home, as
the refreshments cost more than the
