Davis Exploded.
NEW ORLEANS, La, Jan. s.--Jefferson
Davis recently received paper headed
"a Summary" containing the following
paragraph; "Benedict Arnold, the FIRST
traitor 20 American liberty, aired his
patriotism In Hiram Masonic lodge, and
died Free Mason IN good regular stand
lnEi and Aaron Burr, another traitor,
plotted treason In the royal arch cyphor,
and also died Free and Accepted. Jefferson
Dayis,a Free and Accepted Mason, headed
the great rebellion. This did not faint
his Masonic standing, hut II did have much
10 do with his securing bis pardon"

now MADE UP.

There Is much uncertainty about the
character OF the coiuage committee, nj
The head OF which Mlr bland was placed.
Some OF the silver men say 1t Is built up
against them, and in the interest of the
administration. The radical men on both
sides OF the question are about equally
divided, aud there are several members
whose position is not understood, but
the majority of whom, it Is said, will
probably be against silver, or at leas
against the present law. Mr.. Hemphill
of South Carolina, who Is member of
the committee, and who stands firmly
with the administration on the silver
question, says he thinks the committee IL
open TO conviction, and that they will
consider the question dispassionately and
iudiciously and will agree upon some
wise measure for correcting the present
evil. According to the calculation of II
radical sllyerman the anti-sllvermen are
sure Of seven out OF the thirteen mem.
bers. Messrs Bland, Lanham, Norwood,
Bynum and FELTON, are put down as sill
vermen, with Mr. Fuller doubtful, while
Messrs, Henphill, Scott, Lehman, Nc
CNry, James, Rockwell aud Little are
said to favor silver legislation In line
with the policy OF the administration.
Mr.. Toole (delegate) has no vote
CLERKS APPOINTED.
Chairman Wcllborn has appointed John
+. Elliott of Texas clerk Of the committee
on Indian affairs, Chairman Reagan has
appointed Lewis Choble OF Texas clerk
OF the committee on commerce.

The members OF the house were occu-
pied to-day chiefly in fitting themselves
to the places TO which they have been
assigned on the committees. AS rule
there appeared TO be no more than the
usual AMOUNT of disappointment and
dissatisfaction. Most OF the l03 memkers
who have never served In the house be-
fore know little about the relative Inn
portance of the committees, and are well
satisfied wherever they are put. Some OF
the old members, OF course, were disap-
pointed, aud there was one case only
where an old member who held Il chair
manship In the Forty.eghth con
eress that is not given him again in
this. The fact OF Gov Curtin's being taken
from the foreign affairs committee aud
assigned to that ON banking and cur
rency, while Mr.. Belmont has the vacant
chair, Is subject OF severe criticism

Members of the legislature and others
report that Levi Fuller was as busy as
the devil in gale Of wind making pO-
litical capitol for himself all through
the late session of the gcnercl assembly
at Montpelier. The poor wcak!ing,
having succeeded by trick il carrying
a caucus and so getting to be lieutenant
governor, really thinks he can be gov
ernor. Don't laugh, for this is really
so, and don't you forget ii. lie has
already forgotten tie fact that lis sol
cmn promise to Hooker and HookGr's
promise to the convention, that if they
would give him this crumb Of the leu
tenant goycrnorship he would quit his
everlasting begging for office and drop
out Of sight, was just what gave hin
that nomination. The members Of the
convention thought if they could get
shut of such persistent bcggcr so
cheap as that they had better throw him
the sop and be rid Of him. He has
forgotten all about this, it is said, and
is now in full chase after bigger game.
But the people have not forgotten it.
and Col, Hooker, who spoke for him,
has not forgotten it either, and is NOT
likely to be made cats paw of in this
way; for whatever faults the colonel
may have, deliberate lying is not
among them. When he publically
makes pledge for himself Or another
he means it, and won't be found going
back on his word. Well, we should
smile. Levi Fuller for governor, for
sooth. Let him try it just once, that's
all we ask. He'll get buried so deep
right here at home that he'll tindit cas-
ier going right through 10 China than
coming back to the surface this way;
aud for that you may take our word,
for we know just how the people feel.
But nothing would suit the SITTER bet
ter than to have him try it on. We
have whole park Of heavy artillery
loaded for him, compared with which
anything we have hitherto fired at him
are mere pop guns for children. We
smell powder already. Attention, fu

ClIllDHooD'S HAPPY HOURS,


Three merry cunning liue lads, all On win
ter day,
Came in to call on cousin Nc,' and have
bit of play
Their tiny faces, all, were bright and cherry
as could be;
Their eyes were full Of happy light as one
could wish to see,
With to, 5 and blocks, and picture books, all
laden dill iheg come;
They dotted their caps, and made . bow, and
said NOW for some fun"
"WelI build, nice big barn." they cried, Of
letter blocks So gay!
TO put the cattle in, fyr fear that they may
r''n away.
They worked away with RICH, good will and
told each other how
Their papa, CT their granlpopa, had such
nice great bessie COWS,
And whea the barn was all complete, our
spoos were in demand
To serve as oxen, COW aa1 sheep, and in the
barn to stand,
The Iittle lads then said they would "keep
store for all the boys
And have it Gllel With candy sweet, and lots
q fanny toys
They would have some nice, gay Jumping
jacks, and rocking pennies too;
Some drums and whistles. bats and balls, with
tops aud rinkots new.
And lh'n they spoke Ct ''Santa Claus" the
dear oil cunning elf,
And wondered il he lived alone, and where
hckept himself
And would he I'LL their stockings full of toys
and candy sweet
And wished they might just see his team come
trotting down the street.
And then they turned to cousin Nell" with
faces all alight.
And begged she would some stories tell of
Christmas day and night
And did She think old "Santa Claus" was
once little boy,
With drum and whistle, bat and ball and
heart brim-ful Of joy?
Our little friends then donncd their caps, and
mitens bright and gay,
And said we've had nice good time, and
we'll come again some day"
We wish their lives might happy be, and lair
as sunny May,
AZ they waved their hands and said good
bye" and quickly ran away.
