WASHINGTON, d. c., Nov. 3, 1880.
1t seems now that the next house OF
representatives will have small Re
publican majority, but sufficient to
reorganize that body and its officers
and committees after the 4th of March
next.
The Senate yet in doubt. Upon
Nevada and New Jersey Democratic
hope depends. If both these States
have elected Republican legislatures
the Senate will be under Republican
control after March next, by the
casting vote of the President elect. 1t
may be that if New Jersey has a
Democratic legislature and elects a
Democratic Senator, that Nevada will
offset it, and vice versa.
If both States send Democratic
Senators, the chances are the Repub-
licans will have control of the Senate
through Malone, who is sore because
of the interference of the National
Democratic Committee in the local
fairs of Virginia.
Gains made by the Republicans in
he lower house are about as follows
Ohio, six; Indiana, two; Pennsyl-
vania, one; Minnesota, one; Tonnes
see, two; Connecticut, one; Illinois,
two; Iowa, two; Kentucky, one;
Massachusetts, one; Missouri, two;
New Jersey, one; Virginia, one; Wis
consin, one. This makes net gain OF
twenty-four members.
To offset this, however, the Demo
Gratis have gained one in Pennsyl-
vania and two in New York, which,
deducted from the twenty-four gained
by the Republicans, makes Il total
Republican gain of twenty-one. This
gives the Republicans the control OF
the next house by a majority of ten.
Republicans say the next admins
tration is to be prominently stalwart
1t is said by ultra stalwarts that Con-
eressmen from the South certified to
be elected in districts having pre-
ponderating negro vote, are to be
either unseated or their election in
validated, on the ground that the peo-
PIE have not had a chance to record a
! free expression Of opinion.
This, it is asserted is the only means
which can be resorted to, to give the
col0red voter q chance to assert his
political rights. People who talk thus
are reasoning without counting the
cost. Northern business men would
not consent to policy which would
reduce their trade fifty per cent the
first year by reviving old animosities.
Southern men here say when Grant
went into office in 1869, he had nine
teen majority in the Senate, and forty
four in the house, and yet under Grant
they made the South solid, and they

e. KARPE, Trustee.

Error to the Circuit Court of Madison
county, Hon. S. S. Calhoon Judge.
Defendant in error brought an action Of
Replevin to recover certain persona
property, upon which he as trustee, held
deed of trust. 1t was resisted on thu
ground that the property was not sufficient
" described in the deed of trust to be idcn
tilted, and that therefore, the said deed was
void.
1t was described rs follows: some grey
mare-mule named Jane; one dark ba!
horse-mule named Helm; one four-horst
iron axle wagon" &C., &C.
| The Circuit Court held the deed valid
and trial of the case resulting in judg
ment for the plaintiff, the defendants pros
ccutcd Il writ of error.
In the Circuit Court trial by jury was
waived by the parties and the case trieo
before the court. In the Record in the
Supreme Court there was no motion for &
new trial, or Judgment thereon, and it was
insisted that because of said defect in the
Record the Supreme Court could not exam
inc the bill of exceptions and decide upon
questions of evidence presented therein.
F. b. Pratt for plaintiffs in error.

PENDANTS in error.
CHALMERS, c. j.
Held
1. Where a case in the Circuit Courts sub
mitted to the judge without jury, general
bill of exceptions embOdying all the testi-
mOny may be taken to his judgment, which
will be considered by this Court, although
no motion for a new trial is made or acted
upon in the Circuit Court. The statute,
Code of 1871, Gj1, authorizes but does not
require the making of such motion.
9. The mules and horses sued for were
described in the trust deed through which
plaintiff derives title, by color, sex and
name. This was certainly sufficient.
3 The wagon was described only as some
fOur-horse iron axle wagon" without
designation of ownership or location, or
other description. This was insufficient,
and for this the judgment must be re-
yersed, but with leave to plaintiff to have
an aflrmance upon entering remittiter as
to the wagon.

He Receives Visit of Coincidence
from Little Mac.

NEW YORK, Now 3.-The Evening
Express gives the following account
of meeting between Gems. Hancock
and Mcclellan: For man who had
met the one crushing defeat of his life
Gen. Hancock sustains himself nobly.
At 0 O'Clock this morning he went to
his official headquarters and was soon
immersed in daily military correspon-
dence. He had read the morning pa
pers at breakfast and knew the result.
Not word fell from his lips, not Il
movement of his impassive face gave
token of the emotion within. Two or
three visitors called and were received
by Gen. Mitchell in the Office.
At 10 O'Clock the ferry yacht brought
over to Governors Island gentleman
who had once himself tasted the Bit
ter experience of Il soldier candidate
for Presidential honOrs-Gen. Geo. b.
Mcclellan. 1t was kindred feeling,
doubtless, that drew these two men
together.
"Well, General !" was the VISITORS
only greeting.
"Mac. I am glad to see you," re-
sponded Hancock. 81 am sorry; l
am sorry, too, but only for the people
and the party"
The other visitors withdrew, leaving
the two Generals alone.

We must not only think in words,
but we must also try to use the best
words. and those which in speech will
put what is in our minds into the
minds of others. This is the great ART
which those must gain who wish to
teach in the school, the church, at the
bar, through the press. To do this in
the right way, they should use the
short words which we learn in early
life, and which have the same sense
to all classes of men. The English of
our Bible is good. Now and then
some long words are found, and they
always hurt the verses i'm which YOU
find them. Take that which says 40
we generation of vipers, who hath
warned you to flee from the wrath to
come 2" There is one long word which
ought not to be in it; namely, "gen-
eration." In the old version, the old
word "broOd" is used. Read the verse
again with this term, and you feel its
full force: go We vipor's brood, who
hath warned you 10 flee from the
wrath to Gomez"
Crime sometimes does not look like
crime, when it is set before us i'm the
many folds of a long word. When a
man steals, and we call il "defalca-
tion," we are at loss to know if is a
blunder or a crime. If he does not tell
the truth, and we are told that it is a
case Of "prevarication," it takes some
time to know just what we should
think Of it. No man will ever cheat
himself into wrong-doing, nor will he
be at a loss to judge Of others, if he
thinks and speaks of acts in clear,
crisp terms. 1t is a good rule, il one
il at a loss to know if an act is right
OF wrong, to write il down i'm short,

the House of Representatives was
completely revolutlonized. She be-
came solid under the operations OF
carpet-bag plumber which increased
her Indebtedness over three hundred
millions, while taxing her people from
three hundred to five. hundred per
cent. more than they were ever taxed
before, or have been taxed since for
their State government. She became
sold against rule Of shameless plum
der, decentralization and incapacity,
which was leading her into anarchy
and utter prostration. She issolid now
and will forever remain solid against
the breed of redemptionless adventu-
rers and ignoramuses who set upon
her like sitting Nightmares for five or
six years, and whose uonstrocitles
turned the stomach of the whole
North. She is solidly Democratic be-
cause with her it is choice between
that and a party composed of such
base and destructive and irresponsible
elements as the mOrnful facts" OF
Southern RepublicanisnI.
When the honest Republican Of the
North grows sick over the corruptions
and thet,s and outrages Of Republican
practices, and looks around him for
escape--wants to rebuke the mana
gers of his plrty-thinks a change
would be wholesome and beneficial
confronts the Democratic party, and
thinks he sees in its triumph triumph
of Confederate ideas, shrinks from it on
that account, and clings to his old party
with all its errors and rottenness rs
the less of the two evils-let him con-
slider the true situation of the South.
If there was an honest and trustworthy
party to go to in the South other than
the Democratc-if the Southern De-
mocracy to-day We're confronted with
something like an honest and compe-
tent old-line Wing party-the proba-
bility is that thousands of conservative
Democrats, tired and Disguised with
the excuses, irregularities and blum
behring's Of the Democratic methods,
would flock to it for the purpose of dis
commencing and rebuking many OBJ
.ectionable appliances. But when
there is only the choice between the
Democratic party, with all of its
alleged bulldozing, &c, and the mis-
cradle abortion of n party controlled
by political highwaymen and moral
blathe.skites, how can any man of
sense or manliness hesitate? Before
we are advised by home or foreign
organs to break the solid SOUTH
our friends and advisers should strive
to build up party decent enough to
90 to. Even if honest men wanted to
change, they cannot be expected to
fall into line with party whose lead
ers have neither integrity, capacity,
nor repectability.
As the case now stands, we can see
no sufficient argument against Demo-
cratic solidity in Mississippi. How
ever much we may deplore the effect
it may have in turning Northern
States against us, yet it is manifestly
our only line of safety. We cannot
afford to turn our State over to the
merci!ess hordes of robbers, and sub
NIT again to the anarchy, dcmoraliza-
ton and prostitution of government,
and the choking up of all sources of
progress and development, simply to
crafty the conceit of few anxious
friends who imagine they can see death
in this solidity," but who are blind
as TO the results which would follow
its abandonment.
