times allowed the play to proceed to
the extent of allowing her to retire |
with the stranger. She bore this for
a year, or nearly so, in which time all
the principal hotels were worked, but
at last determined to escape at any
cost, and 30 applied to the mayor for
assistance in securing situation by
which she could live honestly. May
or Chace interested himself in her
case, and she is now domiciled IN a
respectable family as servant and
will probably never be disturbed by
her brutal husband again, as it is
more than likely that he and his part
ner have left the city to escape the
consequences oe their numerous
swindles. Should they still be here,
however, or ever return, they will
meet with SO warm a reception at the
hands of Chief Speers that their re-
turn will not be jottcd down in their
book of pleasantries.
Hunters Returned---Troublei In the Camp.
From the Fulton Telegraph.
Wednesday last the following
named parties, who have been enjoy
ing q deer huat in Maries county for
some two or three weeks, passed
through this city on their return
home: Messrs. Andrew Nicholson,
Sam Dyer, Charles McCue, Charley
Adams. Joseph Brothers, VIM. Pal
mer, Nat. Burt, John Burt and Will
EiIer Of Galloway; Abe Eller, Henry
RICHTER and John Kilgore, of Audrain.
The result of their hunt was ten fine
deer, besides some three or four that
they were unable to get after being
killed. Mr.. Andrew Nicholson, one
OF the party. informs Us that there
are plenty of deer in that county.
He says they saw or jumped from 10
to 18 every day. Mr.. Nicolson also
informs us that ON Monday night,
Nov. 9Th, while encamped near the
residence of Mr.. James Chrisman, in
that county, which they did by hia
permission, some seventy-five shots
were fired at them about IL O'Clock
1t is supposed by the hunters tha,
there were about twenty men who did
the shooting. Five Of the number
have been arrested and placed under
bonds for their appearance at the
next term of the circuit court of thai
county. No cause was assigned fol
. this dastardly act. Everyone who
took any part in the shooting ough
to be put in the penitentiary fol
twenty years. But for this uncallet
for cowardly act, they think they
could have killed in a few days 40 o.
.f50 deer. Small game, such as tur
, keys, quails and ducks were abundant
and they luxuriated on these every
meal. They we're kindly treated b.
the citizens generally and invited Il
3 return at their pleasure, notwithstand
ing the attack made on them by som
t outlaws. "

WIVES OF GovKRnoRs.
How the social surroanAinas Of n. Exc,
utiye Mansion have been MaintaineSa.

From the 81. Louis Spectator.
The social atmospbere of the State
capital will, no doubt, be much en-
livened after the Inauguration of the
new Governor. Mrs. Crittenden Ia A
Kentucky lady, and wss reared up in
the best society of that State. She
is lady of many attractive qualities,
and will no doubt become great ia
vori:e. She is church member, but
/ do not know that this will prevent
her from having balls al the Execu-
tive Mansion. Col Crittenden him
self is not member of any religious
body, but was reared under Presby-
terian influences, and is disposed 10
''lean" IN that direction. Mrs. Crit
tenden is follower Of Alexander
Campbell, and 10, therefore, what is
sometimes termed q ,.sCampbellite." !"
She is in good company, as the next
President Of the United States Is one
also. . sa4
Mrs. Hardin, who succeeded Mrs.
Woodsen as mistress of the Cover
nor's Mansion, was q strict member
of the Baptist Church, and was in no
sense o society woman. She lived
there in a good dead Of the same
simplicity that has always character
lied her At her home at Mexico. She
allowed no dancing, and believe
she never tolerated any kind Of in-
toxicating drinks on her sidebsard.
There was never % brighter example
of the earnest and. sincere Christian
lady than Mrs. Hardin.
Mrs. Silas Woodson, whose hus.
band was elected Governor of Mis-
souri, 10 1872, was also a member of
the "Campbellite" Ghurch, and the
daughter of q minister besides. All
this did not prevent her having any
number of balls at the Executive
Mansion She was vary popular
while at jefferson City, aud became
quite ambitious for her husband to
taste still more Of official life; but be
has never had the good luck since to
be elected to any position Of conse-
quepce. ~
When Gov. Phelps came into Office,
his daughter, Mrs. Montgomery, came
TO live with him, and for some time
she kept the mansion in y blaze ol
receptions, balls, suppers, etc., but
latterly she has lived very quietly,
She is a lady Of many accomplish
ments, and she will always be warmly
esteemed by those people of ths
State who have had the fortune t.
enjoy her hospitality.

THE HOUSE IN THE FoRTY-sEvKNTH
CONGRESS.
of the LEDGER

Special Correspondence Of the LEDGER
WASHINGTON, D. c., Nov. 14th,
1SsO.-The Republicans will control
the next House Of Representatives,
but the minority will be strong
enough to bring powerful influences
to bear upon legislation, and 1t is
not improbable that it will ofteEtmes
be able to compel the majority to ac-
cede to its wishes. Upon many very
important questions there may be
considerable diversity of sentiment
within each of the parties; for in-
stance, in regard to gold, silver and
greenbacks, the banks and the tariff,
and the payment or refunding of
bonds, and combinations in regard
to them are not unlikely. These
questions are certain to come up in
some shape, and are already embar-
rassing Mr.. Garfield in his choice Of
q Secretary Of the Treasury Be-
sides this, the Republicans are at
great disadvantage in their make up.
Brains and experience will tell aud
they are with the Democratic repre-
sentatives. Mr.. Randall, recognized
as the best leader in the House, will
not then be handicapped by being in
the chair, and the harmony of the
minority will be complete. General
Garfield has been the leader of the
republicans; Fry and Conger have
sometimes aimed to divide that hon.
or, when subjects of minor import
ance were pending; but there are on
ly about nine in the republican ma
jority Of the next House who can lay
claims to prominence, Kasson, Cam
non, Frye, Robinson, Robson, Con.
ger, Hiscock and Kelley. Frye and
Hiscock are candidates for election
to the senate and,if they are appointed,
the majority will be correspondingly
weakened. There will probably be
a struggle between Conger and Kel
ly OR Kasson for the Speakership, and
the one of them selected can no Ion
ger aid his party on the floor.
On the Democratic side, besides
Randall, are Cox, Wood and Nor.
, rison, and many others, Curtin, Wise,
Hewitt, Bliss, Hutchins, Blount,
Springer, Spark, Holman, Cobb
Gibson, McLane, Bucknel, Allen
Goddess, Whitbourn, Atkins, Rea
gan, Tucker and Brag, all of whom
are familiar with Legislation are oi
Ion : experience and we'll acquainted
with the wants of the country anC
the equals of any Of our public men
1t will be difficult also for the Re
publicans to find suitable chairmen 70
the committees. Kasson might make
chairman for the Ways and Means
but neither Frye, nor Conger, no
. Kelley could. There will be no on,
10 compare with Cannon for appro
priations, Buckner for banking ant
, currency, Reagan for commerce, Nc
Lane Tor railroads, Covert for agri
: culture, Cox for foreign affairs, Con
