WASHINGTON, Pa, December 2S.-AnOth-

gossips. A boy aged sixteen, named By
rom. of wealthy parents, living in Chicago,
has attended college here this term. He
was very green, had plenty of money and
was going with low companions, who
fleeced him of his spare cash. Last Tuesday
he met a woman named Plymyer, OF
notoriously bad reputation. Friday he
went hunting with negro, Ben Cane, who
made him very drunk with alcohol, took
him to Plymyer's house, about half mile
from town, where he was married by the
Rev. L. ?. Streator, to the woman, who is
six or eight years his senior. He stayed at
Plymers till Tuesday, when his brother
came from Chicago and took him away.
Going down Main street in an omnibus to
take the train, the woman got i'll also. At
the train were several of her male friends,

Another Effort to Extend the System 20

Special Dispatch % Uie Register.
WASHINGTON, December 2S.-Among the
few Southern Republicans whom inclina-
ton or necessity have compelled to sum-
mon here, there is continued talk OF break
ing up the "Solid South" by merns of gov
ernment patronage. North Carolina, Mis-
sissippi, Florida, Geoagia and Texas have
all been suggested at different times and
score of wOuld-be leaders have announced
their readiness to lead such a movement.
Just now the attempt is to get Gov. DAVIS
OF Texas into the Cabinet, give him control
OF all the patronage in that State,
and have him try his luck
as a Malone The trouble is that
there is no place for Davis, and the Presi-
dent persists in hanging on 10 Hunt,
though for what reason is hard to conject-
ure. / venture TO predict, however, il
Southern man is taken, il will be Long
street While the latter is making no hight
for the place, and has instructed his friends
not 10 push his name, it is well understood
he would take it If offered. | think, myself,
there will be no move made toward break
ing into the South until after Congress
meets, and the result of the election con-
test are known. Ii the Republicans sue
ceed in seating sufficient number OF their
men from districts in which Democrats
were elected, they may then so into the
business. but until they have that fight off
their hands. they will have about as much
business n they can well attend to.

THE TARIFF.


Special Dispatch 10 the Register.
WASHINGTON. December 2S.-As the date
of the reconyening of Congress approaches,
the question OF Tariff revision is being dis
cussed. and q somewhat remarkable diver
gence of opinion is expressed. While all
those who have given the matter any
thought agree, in general terms. that the
Tariff shonld be revised in many particu-
lars, when it comes to the special items, or
even 10 the mode in which it
shall be done they differ very materially.
Senator Beck who has given the matter
much study, is opposed to any commission,
insisting that Congress shall keep the
whole subject under its control while
Stephens. who is Cyclopedia OF facts, IN
sists that commission is the thing. 1t
now looks rs though the Morrill, bill,or one
embracing the same principles, would be
passed, BY the Senate. though Beck and q
few others will fight it hard.
Ii is also announced that Judge Nelly,
Chairman of the House Ways and Means
Committee, will introduce bill for sim
liar purpose. but the fact that he does so
will drive away support which would adj
here 10 a measure introduced by any one
else: for his record rs prOteCtiOniSt seems
to make all the free traders and low tariff
men look upon him with suspicion.
