Election is over and it is now GER
tain that we have a majority in the State
Legislature Our party will therefore
have the choosing of Senator in place
of the recreant Doohttle We have re-
Trained from expressing an opinion on
this subject for the reason that almost
every other paper N the state was tuning
its bugle to this one key. But we wish
to go on record in favor eff certain prin-
ciples and hence we pen this article.


Ii has been the policy of parties, since
parties first had sway toreward men who
go from one side to the other with the
very best positions, for their readiness
in changing their coats. We do not
claim that one party has INDUCED in this
action more than another-thousands of
instances can be mentioned where it has
been done in each, and in nearly every
case it has done injury to the party doing
it. Jas r. Doolittle left the democratic
party to be made U. S. Senator. That

bought him until he found others he
thought would pay better and he turned
again. Frank p. Blair was stern ad-
herent of one party, but thinking he
could do better elsewhere he seeded !;
but secession does not set well on the
peoples spmachs nowadays and they
so,u.ed on him. Evidently people begin
to think that man tried and true is the
safest one upon whom to confer a public
trust.


We can name several men who would
do honor to our State in the Senate of the
Nation-men who have been set aside
time and again for others far less worthy,
not because they have not always served
the cause faithfully, but because some
other man with more brass and perslsten-
cy would crowd in ahead of TT fem. Now

REMARKABLE CONDUCT OF a HORSE.
"A recent French paper records an extra
ordinary punishment inflicted by horse
on its master, for an att OF brutality by
the latter towards one of the animal sta
bic companions. A carrier, named B., at
no time tender In his treatment OF his
fOur-footed servants, returned one night
In Il state Of semi-intoXcatlon from Moa-

hack which had almost served its time
he decided that the animal was no
longer worth his feed, aud resolved to
put an end to it. For that purpose, he
tied the brute to a tree and taking a
massive lever used in moving goods, he
struck the animal several blows on the
head, until the unfortunate beast sank
| to the ground insensible.


The master, thinking the animal was
dead left it on the spot, intending to re-
move the body next day. The horse
however recovered his senses a short
time after, found its way home and
entered the court at day break. Its
arrival was welcomed by the nei Ching of

From the Alabama State Journal, Oct. 81


Yesterday evening Hon. r. n


Barr, the worthy and distinguished
member from Monroe, received let
ter from his wife, stating that on Fri
uay night last some persons unknown
set fire to his fine lumber mill and all
/ of his out houses at the same time
and they were all burned to ashes.
! DIR. Barr was at one time Sur
geon-general of the State Of Ohio and
after the war settled IN Alabama,
bought him a fine plantation in Mon
roe county, and engaged in the plant
ing of cotton. He lost immensely in
this investments but still battled on
against the adverse fortunes that Fate
was throwing upon him. In Februa-
~ last he was elected State Senator
from Monroe county and, during his
occupancy of his seat, he has been no
ted fer his prudent views, his harmon
izing policy and strict integrity.
Some time since he was threatened
with the torch if he didn't mind
Last Friday night the dastardly and
tiendish threat was carried into exc
cution and an American citizen s
property has been burned because he
dared stand true and firm to the flag
of his country.

NOTHING contributes in a more particu-
lar manner to heighteH the beauty Of the
skin than the choice of colors. For eX-
ample: Females of light complexion
ought to wear the purest white; they
should choose light and brilliant colors,
such as rose, azure, light yellow, etc.
Women of dark complexion, who dress
in such colors as we have often seen them
do, cause their skin to appear black, dull
and tanned. They ought, therefore, to
avoid white robes, and rose color, and
light blue ribbons. These, in particular,
are best suited to them Green, violet,
purple; and then that darkness, which
was only the effect of too harsh a contrast,
will suddenly disappear, as if by enchant
ment; their complexion will become live
ly and animated, and will exhibit such
charms as will dispute and even bear away
the fairest of the fair.


In word, the fair cannot be too careful
to correct, by light colors, the paleness of
their compilations; and darker women by
stronger colors, the somewhat yellow tint
Of their carna:ion. We must not omit g
very important observation respecting the
change of colors by light. Thus, crimson
is extremely handsome at night, when it
may be substituted for rose color, which
loses its charms by candle-light; but this
crimson, seen by day, spoils the most
beautiful complexion; no color whatever
SO completely strips it of all its attractions.
Pale yellow, on the contrary, is often very
handsome by day, and is perfectly suited
to persons who have fine carnation; but
at night it appears dirty, and furnishes the
luster of the complexion, to which it is
designed to give brilliancy.-ErchGnge.

Ambition.


from the London Times April 81


Even the impeachment Of the President is not the
most interesting OF contemporary events In America.
That great public trial. In which for the first time
the executive aud legislative powers are exhibited in
opposition to each other attracts at the present mo-
ment less attention in New York than the tremen-
dous struggle between Vanderbilt and Drew for the
control OF the Erie Railway. The readers OF our
American correspondence will have gained suii-
cient general knowledge OF the Erie Railway War;
In which the financial and legal contest has been fol-
lowed by more primitive and material warfare. At
the latest dates the Office at which OF the cham
pons Mr. Drew, has intrenched himself was guarded
by his friends and supporters armed to the teeth,
while body OF citizens was ready at call to resist
any attack The events which have led TO this state
OF things are worthy OF recapitulation as giving
lively picture Of New York life a. the present day.


Whatever may be the tendency OF modern English
their brethren of the Western hemisphere. Nor are
the sums, real or imaginary with which our capital
lists deal more colossal than those which are welded
by the magnates OF New York city. Up to two years
ago were almost overwhelmed by grand specuations.
We were 30 much accustomed to hear Of millions
that an involuntary feeling of contempt In the
mind OF ali but the most sober at the amounts in
voved In ordinary business. But we never did any
thing on larger scale tlan these New Workers, who
are now engaged In lfe-anddeath struggle which
will possibly terminate In the defeat and bankruptcy
of one OF the champions and his supporters. .
The American papers are full OF comments on this
spirited contest and the reports OF the law proceed
ings are vouminous. The decisions OF the judges
are conflicting and even the personal honor OF an
occupant OF the bench has been questioned. Judge
Barnard has been severely reflected on, and
has felt II necessary TO make an adavit TO the eject
that he Is not now and never has been, engaged d-
rectly or indirectly either individually or In connex
ion with Others In any speculation In Erie or other
stock, and that he never has been In combination
with Vanderbilt and his party. IL would seem that
the opinion OF the New Workers Is not very favorable
TO the tribunals before which the case has come.
Whatever may have been the recklessness OF railway
management In England, we have had nothing less
credtable than this contest, In which the chiefs OF
two parties Of opposing speculators persist, totally
regardless of the welfare Of the concern which Is
made the instrument and victim OF their machina-
tons. The aYar bears witness to the bodness OF the
New York operators but 10 also shows that In the
New World, az well az here, the interests OF the
shareholders and the public be set at naught BY
men of enormous wealth and unbounded ambition.

We have heard intimations before of a
similar purpose entertained in another i'm
portant State of the South but it is not
at all likely that such an idea is generally
entertained. There has been already a
considerable emigration from some South
ern localities, where the white population
is small and defenseless, to the northern
tier of Southern States, and even to the
North and West The selling out of pro-
perty and removal to great distance arc

ry near to giving away When to this is
added the surrender of old associations,
and the passing of the remainder of life in
exile from the scenes and friends of early
years, it must be confessed that IL NAV

ers whether it is not "better to bear the
ills they have than to hv to others that

ally to distant region like California.

professions are all over crowded. and there
is no prospect Of any man improving his

Whilst no one can refuse to svmrathizc
with the apprehensions which are said to
be prompting some persons in the South to
think of emigration, it is probable that
those who will most profit bv such move
ment will be the shrewd and unscrupulous
adventures whose vocation it has become
to speculate upon the misorics and neces

caution cannot be exercised in such step

The Washington correspondent of the
Cincinnati Gazette telegraphed Monday
evening:


The preliminary report submitted this
afternoon by General Butler, in behalf Of
the impeachment managers, produces a
decided sensation. II contains nothing to
show that the President has used any wrong
influence to secure acduittal, nor anything
to prove that single Senator has yielded
to corrupt Vaccinations, but it establishes
beyond all question that some of the Presi-
dents most influential friends were very
willing to actually buy votes, and will
probably be accepted by the country as
furnishing proof, all but conclusive, that
money was really used here to bring about
the vote obtained on the eleventh article.
The report was ostensibly brought in to
sustain the demand for summary measures
with Woolley, but everybody understands
that the real purpose of the managers was
to strengthen their case before the country.


General Buffers bearing throughout the
afternoon was delicious for its sharpness
and selfconseious Inconsistencies. Ed
ridge and Brooks undertook to cross swords
with him from the Democratic side of the
House, and Baker from the Republican side
of the House, but Butler was too much for
them all, and the style in which he used up
Eldridge is almost without parallel in the
Congressional proceedings OF this winter.
