Pudding for Virginia.

WASHINGTON, December 1T is
accepted as altogether assured that the
new administration will extend in the
dispensation of federal patronage" a
cordial recognition to prominent South
ern republicans. Virginia republicans
will undoubtedly be accorded great
consideration, for republican hopes are
strong as to that Stale. The republi-
licans Of that State are showing their
apprecitian of the situation by the
work already begun of making up a
slate for appointments. 1t is learned
that all elements and all wings of the
party in Virginia have agreed upon one
appointment to ask for ex-attorney Gen.
eral Blair who will be presented for tho
position ofsolicitor of the treasury. Mr..
Blair led the republican electoral ticket
at the recent election. He made an
energetic and eloquent canvass of the
State during the last campaign, and
his friends are satisfied that his services
are entitled to reward.

8. Adjutant-General Lang explained
that the State had no funds available for
bringing State troops and volunteer
companies to the capital, but would
invite all to be present on the grand
occasion. Chairman Cnipley announced
that the Pensacola and Atlanta, Louis
vile and Nashville, and Florida Rail-
way and Navigation Co., roads had
agreed to transport soldiers in uniform
at one-half cent per mile, making the
expense ofattending merely nominal.
Other roads will doubtless join in the
arrangement.
Chairman Chipley's idea is that this
occasion should be made a marked one
by bringing the people together after
the scourge Of the past summer, thereby
giving increased force to their feeling Of
State pride, ,and illustrating 10 the world
that it takes more than an accidental
epidemic to check the progress of Flori-
da. Where companies cannot attend
with full numbers they are urged to
send platoons, which will be assigned
places in the grand parade Citizens
and visitors from all sections are pre-
pairing to attend and take part in the
ceremonies and general rejoicing over
the victory and end Of the recent
sceurge.
Chairman Chipley was most royalty
received by his many admirers here
who warmly congratulated him On his
able and successful management Of the
state campaign.

North had been solid at the last cleo
ton. The prime reason was because
she was afraid of such leaders as his
friends from Alabama, Coates and
Wheeler.) Let the New South send
men here who were not battle-scared
and in favor of the rebellion. Let such
men come here and represent the New
South, and there would be no Solid
North. But as long as the gentlemen
on the other side, when pensions were
asked for, talked Of levying an income
tax or something of that kind, just so
long the North would distrust them,
and just so long she would vote them
down.
The amendment was rejected.
Phelen, of Tennessee, offered an
amendment authorizing the Secretary
of the Treasury to refund, at . per
cent. interest, the amount Of money
paid by the purchasers Of land sold for
the collection OF direct taxes Where the
tax for which the land was sold had
been paid in part or in full prior to
sale. The amendment was rejected.
The committee then rose and reported
the bill to the House. 1t was passed

Federal Senate without opposition and

the States and Territories the amount

Wants Pay for Capturing Jefferson Davis.

Ell PAso, TEXAS, December Suit
has been instituted here by William
F. Dreisman against the United States
Government for S293 for aiding in the
capture ofJeferson Davis, President of
the Confederacy at the close of the late
war. Dreisman says he was member of
the cavalry force sent in pursuit of Pres
ident Davis, and relates the we'll known
story ofthe capture. When the captors
were voted reward by Congress,
Dreisman received his draft but mis-
laid it, and never got it cashed. He
applied to the Treasury Department
for information and received in reply
a letter stating that duplicated draft
had been issued to the administrator
Of his (Dreisman's) estate in Suffolk
County, Massachusetts,, which was duly
paid. Dreisma1 accounts for this state
of affairs by saying that he had been
in California for number of years
and his relatives thought him dead.
He insists, however, that the amount
is still due him and has consequently
entered suit.

An affair" in the House.
Especial to the W orld.]

COLUMBIA, December IA little
affair occurred in the House to-day,
about noon, which, though seen by but
few, created a considerable sensation.
The Cook Creek bill, which has been a
bone Of contention in the House for
some days, was again taken before the
committee :: day or two ago, and some
testimony regarding it taken. Mr..
Hawkins X. Jenkins, who is cham
pioning the bill, was of the opinion that
the committee did not do him justice,
and while standing in the rear of the
House to-day made remark about it
in the presence Of Mr.. J. B. Morrison,
member of the committee on roads,
bridges and ferries Mr.. Morrison re-
sented what Mr. Jenkins said, with the
remark: mr. Jenkins, that is not So"
AS to what was said immediately after
this, statements differ, but, in mo-
ment, Mr. Jenkins struck Mr.. Morris
ton in the face, staggering him back.
The affair was Immediately stopped,
and nothing further occurred.

WHAT DO NEGROES SAY TO THIS

Paper in Ohio.

CLEVELAND, o., December 9.-The
Sunday World, the leading Sunday pa
per OF this city and Republican or

right to vote and hold office, but their
rights in . social way. Negroes are
slaves no longer, and no one, save per
hapsa few rabid Southerners, would

Ihe question now rising is not ques-

WASHINGTON, December 12.-There
seems to be no longer any doubt that
the Republicans have elected MA
jority Of the next House. The Demo-
Gratis, who have been claiming that
their party would organize that body,
have all given up, as the fifteenth New
York district has elected Republican
member, and there is not another dis
trict in the land the Democrats may
hope to pick up through irregularities
to give them a majority If even one
a careful inspection of the returns of
two or three districts in the Northern
districts has been going on, but the
Republicans are undoubtedly elected
10 all Of them and the Democrats are
forced to admit that their only hope Of
organizing the next House is in the
event of the death of Republican and
the election of Democrat to take his
place. Of course no one hopes that any
such misfortune may come upon a
Republican, as bad as the Democrats
want the House, and whe1 it comes to
dying, a Democrat is as likely to die as
any one else.
The Republicans are claiming ma
jority of five ia the House. They cannot
cubstan :ate it on the returns that have
been received here. To do It they put
down on their side of the division Two
members from West Virginia. They
may secure one from West Virginia,
but even that is doubtful. The contest
in two Of the Virginia districts has yet
to be settled in the courts, and the i'll
dicat;ons are that the Democrats will
get both and thus have solid delega-
ton from the State. They also claim
the Chattanooga district of Tennessee.
The Certificate has alredy been given to
Bates in that district and he will take
his seat in the House when the next
Congress meets. The Republicans will
probably have one majority when they
organize. If they get one district il
West Virginia they will have three
majority. 1t cannot be any larger, and
the margin will not be large enough to
do them much good if the Democrats
stand togetherand res l 9 hot to let any
rules be adopted that will enable the
Republ:cans to unseat enough MEN,
pers to create good working majority.
The talk among the Democrats now is
that they will not allow the RepuUli-
cans 20 revolut onize matters merely
to secure u majority.
The slender majority has created a
stronger feeling among the Republi-
cans III favor of an extra session of
Congress. They don't want to take any
chances, and it is understood that
pressure will be brought to bear upon
Gen: Harrison to have him call al eX-
ira session in the spring. not later than
May. The Republicans desire to per-
feet their organization even if nothing
much else is done untj! the regular
meeting time next December.
No one here has authority to speak
for Ge". Harrison in this matter, but
some of his friends think he will be
aveGse to having Congress in full blast
just at the time wher his life will be
nearly worried out Of him by persistent
| office-seekers. The outlook for the
next President is anything but blissful.

Mrs. Nancy Bagley, who lived about
four miles from Winnsboro, on a plan-
.ation adjoining that OF Mr.. d. y. Hen
dix, died Oh Friday. She was quite
aged, about s., and her death was the
result of Old age, lack of proper food
and cold weather. Although having
fifteen children and a number of grand
and great grandchildren, she. has in
her latter days been an object of charity.
Although she died on Friday, she was
not buried until Sunday, owing to the
fact that no grave could be prepared
until some kind friends had it dug.
