Gens. Porter and Babcock, of Grant’s staff, returned, Tuesday, j from an exteded trip through the I south, and report affairs as very ■ quiet, with business prospects im- I proving. They do not intend to make an oflicial roport. Near Owensboro, Kentucky, I tome days ago, a negro seized a i white lady and brutally outraged her person. The negro was afterwards captured and committed to prison, but on Wednesday night, Jan. 27th, a mgb broke into the' jail, took possession of the priso-: ner ami hung him. The New York Exprest says: “The New York Tribune divided; 8180,000 among its shareholders: during 1868, and its aggregate; profits during the year are said to I have been a quarter of a million ; dollars. The value of boots and shoes manufactured in Massachutts, dur ing the past ycar, is about 8100,000,000, The whole number ofi cases shipped through Boston for ' the year were 1,019,444 —100,000 casesinore than those ofanyprev-' ions year. The exports of oil from Pitts burgh eastward, by the Pennsylvania Railroad, during the past five years, are reported as follows ; In 1868, 856,166; in 1867. 590.545 ; in 1866, 872,625; in 1865, 701,252 : and in 1864, 544,781—making an aggregate of 3,257,283 barrels shipped for the period of five years. The Massachusetts people are reviving the old liberal order of United’ Americans—or “KnowNothing.” This appears to be the next political move of the Radical: party. 9 Syracuse, New York, has a new scandal ease. A traveling agent returned home sooner than expect-, cd, and arriving at night found a substitute in his place. He didn’t have an attack of momentary insanity, but simply packed wife and lover out of the house.. McCulloch can’t get rid of his female clerks.

Indiana Items. L A million and a half of dollars’ worth of goods were sold in = LaPorte last year. I The Logansport Pharos says: We have heard much complaint the • past week of the wheat crop. The pleasant weather has had the effort to expose the roots, and in some instance fields have been ■ greatly injured thereby. The railroad property in this i State is appraised for taxes at i $10,559,626, on which $152,109,- , 80 are levied for State and county taxes, A commotion has been created among the mayors, justices and ministers of Cass county, by some hundred of them being proceeded against in the common pleas court for neglecting to make return of the marriages performed by them The law imposes a penalty on all such officers as fail to make a re turn within 90 days. It is becoming the proper thing ■ in many of the towns in this State ; to elect postmasters. A Switzerland county man has ' an ear of corn in which there are i 1,174 round plump grains. The Democracy of Lafayette are making an effort to establish a Democratic paper in that city. We hope they may succeed. John Turnpaugh, of Wells county, who has been confined in the Insance Asylum here for a year or two, made his appearance at home a few days since, hatless, i He had been set to cutting wood at the Asylum, and not liking it started off and walked the whole , distance home.— lnd.

Extravagance of Congress. The following proceeding of Congress yesterday, indicate, in a very slight degree, the outrageous extravagance of the present Radical Congress. The reported proceedings are as follows : “The House then went into Committee, Mr. Schenck in the • Chair, and resumed the considera- i tion of the Legislative Appropri- j ; ation bill. “A discussion in relation to the ■ pay of the clerk of the Committee I ; on Public Lands brought out Mr. i ; Washburne, (Representative from i Illinois) who declared that if the j constituents of members could | know of their extravagance he be-1 ■ lieved they would come down and I I run them into the Potomac.— i [Laughter.] What were the figures of ths expenses of the House ? IJe would tell them. Capitol police, 865,000; clerks, 880,000; sergeant at arms, 85,000; postofI fice. 820,000; laborers. 86,000; • folding room, 36,000; door keepers, 844.000; clerks to commit : tees, $j36,000; pages, 88,000; j total. 8345,000.” i If Mr. Washburne had added i 8355,000 more for extra stealing, ■ Ihe would have come much nearer | the mark. The expense of the , i sergeant at Arms is put down at ; 86.000, when it is well known that j he received twice that amount for hunting up and subprenaing witnesses before bogus investigating committees in his an-1 nual compensation. One would ' j suppose that after Washburne. the < ' mout|i piece of Grant, had called i j attention to these extravagant i items of expenditure, the proposii tion he objected to would have been voted down ; but such was not the fact; it not only passed. > but immediately after an amendment was adopted largely increasing the compensation of Clerks — [ntlianapolis Sentinel. What They Want. The following summary of lhe proposed stealings of the Radicals in Congress is taken from the New York Evening Post, an organ of the Radical party. It presents a fine picture for contemplation by j ■ a tax ridden people: “Four and a half millions were ■ asked to complete public buildings in Washington. “A uew “White House” is also ! proposed—which would cost at ; leas four or five millions more. “A quarter of a million i> asked , to subsidize steamships. I “Eight millions to lay a teleII graph cable in the Pacific Ocean. : | “Five millions for the Sutro tunnel.” I i “Three and a half millions to the Commercial Navigation Com pany. »I “Five millions a year for the . harbor of New York. “Then there are bonds to railroads ; there is Mr. Spencei’s proposition that the United States 1 shall buy all the cotton ; there arc -1 grants of land to railroads hy the hundred thousand acres; there is an appropriation of hundreds of thousands of dollars to print 1 worthless agricultural reports, and t! of other thousands to print an ce qually worthless report on educaI tion.”

Love at Seventy. e A Boston correspondent tells the following: Here is a touching little romance : Half a century ago, two young people—youth and maiden in a country village—loved each other. Unkind fate persecuted them and denied the legitimate reward of mutual affection. Both married and lived in widely separated towns, children grew up about each, anefr the cares of life upon them; but the spark of that •early love burned in both bosoms. Once in a great while exchanged letters. At last his wife died; his children grew up and went to the bad, and he was left a lonely old man, poor and comfortless. This summer her husband died. Soon as blessed defunct was put comfortably under the sod, the widow packed up her goods and started for the home of her first love.— She arrived one afternoon, and was directed to his house, but its master was absent. Nothing daunt ed, she went in and sat alone till :he returned. Imagine the meeting I of tender old creatures of seventy who had been faiteful to each other through fifty years. She remained in his bouse a few days ; then they were married ; and the neighbors say, that never did humanity affbrd such a simulitude to two very sentimental turtle doves as in the wedded bliss of these absurd people. They are living now steeped in happiness, it would seem. ntyi. no doubt, fully believing in the maxim, “Better late than never.”

A very curious state of affairs now exists with regard to Georgia. The lower branch of congress, in admitting members from that state declared it to be in the union, and also declared that it had ratified the constitutional amendment. — The house has, therefore, recognized Georgia as a state. The senate will not admit the senators Georgia has elected, and denies that it is a state, and denies also that it has ratified the constitu tional amendment. Under such circumstances, what is the duty of the president and of the United States district court in Georgia ? What is the duty of General Grant, who, if there be no lawful state of government there, is charged, under the reconstruc tiou infamy, with the supervision of all public affairs ? _ c Not long ago there was a division of opinion between democrats and republicans as to whether the state was in or out of the union. Now the republicans are so puzzled over the matter that they have referred it to the house judiciary committee to decide. Can a state be half-way in and half-way out of the union?— Chicago Times. Consistent. Edward Ward, who wrote a book about New England, which was printed in 1698, thus speaks of the Bostonians of that period : The inhabitants seem very religious, showing many outward and visible signs of an inward ami spiritual grace But, though they wvar in their faces the innocence of doves, you will find them in their dealings as subtle as scr pent*. Interest is their faith, mon ey their God. and large possesions the only heaven they covet.” It is remarkable that nn change has taken place during the past hundred and seventy years. Interest (in gold) is still their faith money their God, and large possessions the only heaven they covet. How to stop t’aing Tobacco. In a recently published pamnhlet Rev. Mr. Trask eives the following advice to tobacco chewors: 1 Make the most of your will. Drop tobacco, and resolve never to use it again in any form. 2. Go to an apothecary and' buy ten cents’ worth of gentian root, coarsely ground. 3. Take as much of it after each meal, or oftener, as amounts to a common quid of “fine cut” or “cavendish.” 4. ,Chew it well, and swallow all the shliva. 5. Continue this a few weeks, and you will come off conqueror; then thank God, and thank us.

A revenue agent in Cincinnati visiting a suspected distillery, came upon one room marked “private,” and securely locked. After some little delav he managed to effect an entrance, only to discover a young man on a bed in the worst stages of small-pox. The -agent did not stop to confiscate anything. The Bev. Mr. Murray, a young man recently settled over the Park street Church in Boston, startled his staid parishioners the other Sunday by inserting a petition in prayer that tlio Ix>rd would also “bless those middle-aged females in the congregation whose youthful hopes had been disap|>ointed.” -•—-I* • — - — Somebody says the three events oflife arc “noise, poverty and
