New Year AT the Capital

WASHINGTON, Jan. IA bright cool morn
and they turned out in force. There never
was apparently SO extensive an observation of
the day. The White House programme was
carried out with all the customary eclat. Pres
ident Arthur looked exceedingly well and
with his bevy of lady companions formed as
to wecome visitors at the executive mansion.
One of the earliest callers was ex-Secretary
Blaine. He wished the President happy New
Year, and was pleasantly greeted by President
Arthur. The Treasury officials turned out
in full force and were all introduced by Secre-
tary Folger. The other departments wer full
~ represented.

new position as Mayor of Brooklyn to-day and
is holding a New Year'sreception in City Hall.
His administration, it is expected, will attract
immense attention because of his pledge to
conduct the business of the city on the same
Bowling Slip of which he is a member. This
implies total disregard of the claims of politi-
clans. The action of the late board of alder
men in defying the courts and overriding the
Mayors veto in the face of an injunction is the
subject of much interest in Brooklyn. The le-
gal papers are being made ready to serve upon
II members who voted for this action and they
will probably be arrested tomorrow for con-
tempt. of court. They will doubtless avoid the
ignominy of going to jail by seeking stay of
proceedings and resorting to appeals to all the

The Very Serious Defect I'm the Tennes-

Arise from the Omission OF the Three
Counties OF Rhea, Cumberland
and MefGs.

I WASHINGTON, October I9.-Col. d. B.
Henderson, secretary of the Republican Ma
tional Congressional Committee, has been
advised Of serious defect IN the law passed
! by the Tennessee Legislature to arrange the
| congressional districts in that State II ap-
pears that the bill for that purpose, as
| passed by the Tennessee Senate was amended
| in the lower house, and Through a clerical
error three counties-Cumberland, Meigs
and Rhea-wbich by the Senate bill were
assigned to The Third District, were omitted
The bill as amended in the lower house
was finally agreed TO by the Senate, but the
clerical error was not discovered and
corrected. As consequence, these
three counties are not assigned to
any congressional district, and voters re-
siding in them, should the election be held
under the new law, will be debarred from
voting for representatives in Congress. Col.
Henderson thinks the voters Of these coun-
ties cannot constitutionally be deprived Of
their right to vote for representative and If
the defect is not remedied it may vitiate the
htle 10 the seat of every member elected
under the new law. He has suggested that
the governor of Tennessee call a special seq
sion OF the Legislature for the purpose of
remedying the defect
The counties thus referred to-Meigs,
Rhea and Cumberl snd-Were in the Third
District, under the apportionment of 1880.
Cumberland, in that year, gave Dibrell 800
votes and Case 36I; Meigs, Dibrell $40 and
Case 375; and Rhea. Dibrell 673 and Case
423. Attorney General Lee has advised
the governor that the failure to include these
three counties in the redistricting bill rem
ders it null and void. Bot it is too late TO
call the Legislature together. What the
remedy is otherwise, if any, we cannot see.
But 10 disfranchise the State because of this
mistake would be simple folIy.-EDs. AP-

saIIie r. Gibbs.

Departed this life, at her home in Crittenden
county, Ark, the 5th day of October 1882 SAL
P GIBBS, wife of Waiter P. Gibbs, aged twenty
three years
At that time the last silence that puts period to
all of the vicissitudes of mortal life came upon
the deceased, and her husband. babe and many
friends have just now followed her remains TO
their final resting place and performed the last sad
office for the dead 1rte mother and friend upon con-
secrAted ground near Charleston, in the State of
Mississippi. and she there lies in that oblivious
sleep that heeds not the voice of praise that of
blame, and the ears Of SALLIE P. GIBBS that were
ever open to the appeals of want and distress, are
now forever closed even to the most reaetrating
cries of disconsolate husband and the walls of
motherless babe. The presence of death sadjens
the mind and softens the heart; it not only makes
us feel that partly die with our friends; that
each one takes some portion of the sunshine that
gilds and beauties our own life; that the gloom
tncr- ases wi tn every farewell until we, too
shall fold that curtain of thick darkness
around us, and lie down in that same sleep of
oblivion; but ii teaches to feel and TO fully re
alize boE trivial and light are all of our conten
tions, how petty and Insignificant are all OF our
schemes and ambitions unless they are founded
upon those good qualities which we are taught
and conceive to be capable of surviving death it
self. In the case of SALLIE P. GIBBs, death has
given us no new revelation of her qualities and
virtues Inc same W1fely devotion, mOtherly ten
derness and steady friendship that characterized
her in life still guards her tomb In all OF her life,
either maiden. wife, mother or friend, feel
warranted in saying that SALLK P. GIBBS never
wroRged or wounded the feelings of any man or
woman. She had great kindness of heart was not
easily offended. and none more ready to forgive
and forget
sALLrE P. GIBBS, daughter of Alexander Patti
son, Esq, of the comfy OF Tallahatchie, in the
State OF Mississippi was born in the year 1859
She married Walter P. Gibbs CT Crttenden county
Ark, the 21st day of January, 1880 at the resi-,
dence OF Captain T. w. Turner, near Charleston
and although she lived in Crittenden county bu
three short years. her many admirable qualities
mind and heart ad given her host of frit nds in
the home of her husband, all Of whom deeply
sympathi=e with him in this great loss OF his
young, beautiful. educa ed and accomplished wife
who, though young and in the vigor of lie, has
finished her course on earth. She is gone!
She has gone from this strange world OF ours,
No more 10 gather its thorns with its flowers,
No more to hnger where sunbea ms must fade,
Where on all beauty Deaths finger is laid;
Weary with mingling ife's bitter and sweet,
Weary with parting and never to meet
In Christ may she rest from sorrow and sin,
Happy where earth's conflicts enter not in.

NO STRIKE
Among the Seed OIL LabOrers, Though
They Ask tor Higher wages

The report has been sent away from here
that the men employed at the various cotton
seed oil mills in the city are on a strike.
The only found alton for this report lies in
the fact that demand for higher wages was
made by the men, and during the decision
upon the demand the men were not working.
The demand for higher wages was not ac-
ceded to, and the men resumed work. The
impression created that work at the cotton
seed oil mills had stopped is erroneous NJ.
II. Katzenberger, who is as well posted on
these matters as he is on the turf, stated TO
an APPEAL reporter yesterday that there had
been no strike, but the men had simply
asked for an increase of wages and had not
secured it. SeventY-fiye men were ready to
come from New Orleans, if necessary, but
the men who had asked for an increase were
at work. Mr.. John D. Murtagh said the
matter could hardly be called strike. The
men had not been working for half q day.
The seed oil men had discussed the increase
In wages and had refused to grant il. Tue
laborers, instead Of kicking against this de-
cision, had resumed their work.
