General LanguOr.

Among the list of distinguished MIL
ltary heroes the names Of Genera
Langucr of Debility do not appear
Yet, it is a well authenticated fact
that there are times when the pulse
les low in the bosom and beats feeb i
in the arteries. The spirit of the in
dividual is sleepy, and the whole ten
dency Of the body is toward rest and
decay. At such times and during
such seasons, the system needs toning
up by the use of some good and pure
tonic which will restore the organs to
the wouted state. Such a tonic i
found in PERUYA, which is acknowl-
edged by all to be the very thing to
put these famous generals to rout
and to ultimately conquer them. Read
the following testimonial, which
shows 10 what estimation PERUNA is
held, and then send for the book en-

| RICHMOND, VA, lee. 20.-Ttt
House Of Delegates today seated Graf.
tan and Soule, democrats, from Rock.
ingham county, in place of Harnsburgel
and Herring. coalitionsts, who were
awarded certificates and occupied then
seats since the organization OF the
Legislature.
The President pro tenn. Of The Senate,
In compliance with the resolutions Of
that BODY, today issued writs for special
elections 10 be held on January 9Th in
the four districts vacated by acceptance
Of federal and State Offices by four Ma
honeite long-ierm Senators.
Both houses today passed e bill pro-
vlding for a new registration and new
election machinery in Norfolk city.
In the House of Delegates today
Martin V. Hazlewood, coaliIionst, of
Henrico county. rose toa question of
priyllese. In the course Of lis remarks
be said bis course as member Of the
committee on elections had been clit-
cised upgenerously BY a paper here
He expressed the determination TO dis
charge bis duties hereafter BY what he
considered TO be his duty, End was IN
willing TO act as a mere partisan. In
response 10 a question by Mr.. Duff
Green, cosltionist Of Stafford, Mr.. Ha-
zlewood SAID he was republican, but
would not ind )rse the ISLANDERS agaiusi
The people Of Virginia which had been
40 freely distributed over the country.
Mr.. Lakewood read The following ex-
tracts from the Wing of yesterday
"All free government is overturned 10
Virgins There Is DO Liberty here. No
man has any rights which the bourbon
funders respect. Life has no protection
and murder has full immunity. 1t took
war to free the 2olored people of the
South. 1t may take another 10 July
free the Southern white people. II
need be, let it come. We repeat it
Let it cone. Give US liberty or give
us DEATH"
Mr.. Lakewood declared lis opposi-
ton 10 a policy which proposes 10 pre-
cipitale a war among our people, and
said that if his future political advance
ment depended Oh bis sanctioning the
ISLANDERS of his own State aud race, he
" ould prefer TO be remaud,d back to
the question of a protective tariff, and
thought that, as The democratic mem
bers Of The Legislature had voted Tor a
known republican, be might also afford
10 stand by the party which represented
bis national principles.
Mr.. Hazlew ood's remarks indicate ]
that be has renouuced Mahoneism aud
will not he bound by caucus dictation
of that party in The Legislature. The
democrats now have sixty five members
in the House OF Delegates, within two
of being two thirds majority. The
seats OF ten coalitionists in the House,
vet contested, will be decided upon The
reasse m bling Of the Legislature af,er
the Christmas recess. The seats Of
two MahOnelties IN the Senate are con-
tested. The democrats now haye
members i'll that body, and
lack but three Of having two-thirds.-
The result OF The elections in the four
districts and the contests may give the
democrats The three Senators necessary
to make the two-lhirds. 1t requires
twc-thirds 10 pass any bill or measure
over the Governors veto.

strongly fortified villages. The enemy
made a stubborn resistance. The
French loss was 200 men and /;

The enemy were very we'll armed

ton aud spirits Of the French troops
are excellent. Today we commence

LONDON, Dec. PA Hong Kong
Correspondent says: The principal
fighting occurred on the river bank.
Several villages were captured at the
point of the bayonet. The French
troops have advanced within a mile
of the citadel, but it is probable there
will be very heavy Fitting before they
reach the place. The Chinese lost
heavily from the shells Of the fleet.

ted December II:
'Sontay is ours. The outer enctinte
was carried by assault on Sunday at

began at IL O'Clock 10 the morning.
The assault was made at 5 O'clock 10

praise by the Foreign Legion, to-
gether with the marine infantry aud
sailors. The fotilla assisted in the
bombardment. The citadel was eva
cuated during the night by its de-

morning of the 18th without fighting.

Admiral Courbet report to the gov-
eminent, that three officers and sixty
seven men were killed and ten officers
and one hundred and seventy men
were wounded in the fighting before

Gen. Millet's force in Touquiu will
eventually number $4,000 men. The
