Messrs. jackson & Hurst, Hurst &
Donaldson and the Home Building
and Loan association have just COM
pleted numerous changes and i'm
provcments in their suite Of rooms
in the Masonic temple. Jackson &
Hurst now occupy the four rooms on
the east side of the building, and
have repapered and repaired them in
manner which makes them partic-
uiarly bright and attractive. The
offices of Hurst g. Donaldson have
been novel to the west side of
the hall and opposite those of
jackson & Hurst. ABOUT ten feet
OF the hall has been partitioned
off, thereby making one more
room. and these. like the rooms of
Messrs. jackson & Hurst, have been
fixed up in very pretty manner.
The suite complete is one of the
handsomest and most inviting in the
three cities.

If congress does no more this session
1t has placed a credit on its ledger by
repeating the federal elections BILL 1t
has been suffered to remain a disgrace
on our statute books too long. Had
the South been the conqueror in the
late rebellion and have placedN 0rthern
elections under military surveillance
for thirty years after peace had been
proclaimed, the people of the North
would have been justly sore at the in
dignity. The war is over and those
meC in congress who would perpetuate
such barbarous relic as the federal
elections law sadly misrepresent the
majority of their constituents. There
is no more fraud in the South than
there is in the North, though it may be
conducted on different basis of opera
ton. Colors as black as any on the
page of dark frauds have been painted
there by the republican party and lis
hypocrltlcal, phariseeical condemnation

Die and Infamous. In plucking the
mote from their brothers eye they
have entirely overlooked the beam IN
their own. Should the present maiori-
lty In congress station troops in every
Northern hamlet at election time il
would only be returning measure for
measure; but it is probably content
with writing its own wrongs.

how we should get to Liverpool. Ac-
cording to our geography thai seaport
