Contrast Between Two Generals.

In writing OF his Mexican war expe'
riences General Grant gives an inter
esting contrast between Gems. Taylor
and Scott, as follows: II had now
been in battle with the two leading
commanders conducting armies IN a
foreign land. Thecontrast betweenths
two wasvery marked. Gen. TaylorneV..
er wore a uniform, but dressed himseI
entirely for comfort. He moved
about the field in which be was opera
ting to see through his " eyes the
situation. Often he would be without
staff officers, and when he was accom-
| panied by them there was no prescfin-
ed order in which they followed. ne
was very much given to sitting on ms
horse sideways, with both feet on 0he
side, particularly on the battieheld,
Gen. Scott was the reverse in all these
particulars. He always wore all Tue
uniform prescribed or allowed by Jaw;
When he inspected his lines worn

gade commanders in advance noth!
ing them OF the hour when the cohs
manding general might be eNpeelsa,
This was done so That all the arnny
might be under arms to salute ther

he wore his dress uniform, cooked has,

OF Dakota, to succeed Senator T%elIer's

Atlanta Specicl;-Col. Albert Howell was
mortally wounded by Henry c. Pope in u
dispute at the union depot. Col. Howell
is a brother OF Evan =. Howell, editor in
chief OF the Daily Constitution, and is the
general manager OF the nuion passenger de
pot. While in his office Col. Howell was
approached by Pope, who asked:
What time does the next train come in
on the State road"
Il don't know" said Col. Howell.
You ought to know, " said Pope. THAT
is what you are paid for"
IL am not paid for any such thing, and
nave nothing to do with the affairs OF that
road, y replied Howell.
You are a id liar, " said Pope.
Quick as a lash Col. Howell grabbed an
inkstand and hurled it at Pope, knocking
him down. Pope Immediately got up and
asked Col. Howell, when and where can
see you, and settle this matter?'' "You can
see me right here. and now answered Col.
Howell, whereupon Pope drew his pistol
and fired at Howell, hitting him in the up
per right breast. At this iuncture a special
policeman arrested Pope, and Howell was
taken to the Office Of DR.. Dan Howell, his
brother. The patient suffers but little
pain, but is in n critical condition, as there
is great danger Of secondary hemorrhage,
which woull undoubtedly prove fatal.

pa,,,. in . Dakota Jury Room.

Sioux Falls Special: In the district
court rather u remarkable proceeding was
introduced on the oath inst. The case OF
Ole and Gunder Thompson against IA;
p.ttigrew has been on trial three days and
was given to the jury about 6 O'Clock last
night. This morning the jury came into
court with a sealed verdict, but before the
verdict was presented, the Tact came TO the
knowledge OF the Judge that one of thelury'
men had taken to the jury room q
bottle OF liquor and had used thesame too
freely for his own good. The judge set the
verdict aside and administered a most
scathing rebuke to the jury. Inc Ease is
nne which has been once before tried, and
was taken to the supreme court, where the
Judgment was reversed and the case re-
handed back to the district court Tor a
new trial. The question involved is a mat
ter Of damages occasioned by the con
struetion Of the st. Olof mill dam, and the
setting aside OF this verdict will necessitate
another expensive trial.

The convention of rabbis OF the Re-
formed Hebrew Church, in session at
Pittsburgh, adopted a platform set
ting forth their belle. in one God, and

this creed amid struggles and trials.
They hold that the antique laws re.

considering themselves no longer a

they do not expect to return to Pales-

wrong and misehievous innovations

How Elections in England are Conducted

Elections are not in England, us with US,
accomplished in m day. When n general
election for members OF the house OF ON
mons takes place, the voting is continued
for about two weeks, daily, in different
p rts OF the United Kingdom. The election
officers OF each county and borough APP
point polling days in their respective dis
triCts. In the present election the writs
are made ~CtuTnable on Dec. :. Dissolution
OF the last parliament has been declared,
and nominations and elections com
menCed on Monday. In the case ofa county
the returning officer must give notice Of the
day OF election within two days after he re-
ceiyes the writ. and in IA borough on theday
he receives the writ, or the next day. In
countfes the election day must not be later
than the ninth day after the receipt of the
writ and in a burgh not later than the
fourth day after the writ is received. The
various sherifIs publish in the daily news
papers the dates when nominations must
be made, and the dates OF polling In the
several districts. Voting will go on
all over the kingdom, first in the horoughs
and then in the counties, until Dec, 4
or 5. Thus the sheriff OF Sutherland and
Ross notifies that in SUthprlandshire
the nominations will be made Tuesday,

for the house Of commons need not be a
resident Of the district in which he is a
candidate. Any Englishman can contest
any district, provided he is properly quail
flied, no matter where he lives. Under the
new franchise law the new house will have
go members against the G52 OF the old
house. Formerly most ofthe members came
from the b%OrOugbs; but now the majority
will come from the counties, sixty rotten
boroughs rave been wiped ont by the new
arrangements alone, and lO4 altogether.
The new lines have been drawn so aS to Sc
cure a iairer distribution OF population
than under the cranky old system. The
new law, however, is yet far from being
wide in its scope, and its provisions yet
hamper and restrict. 1t embodics the most
rigid safeguards against corruption and
bribery which have taxed the ingenuity OF
candidates to evade.
