Hayes nhd Evarts contributed to the Indiana negro colonization fund at Washington the other day. In the Indianapolis procession last Tuesday, the coach containing Grant was drawu by four white horses, each horse led by u negro. O-ESaii! The Valparaiso Messenger has placed in its office .a couple of new presses and engine. Zira. is now pur suing one Professor Michael by steam. A North Carolina paper is of the opinion that New England will lose mote members of Congress under the next apportionment than the ."'outh. In the event of the uex r presidential election being thrown into the House, Mr. Do La Matyr declares his intention of “giving the Democrats the benefit, of a doubt. ' Hun. Charles H. Voorbis, Radical M. C. from the sth District, New Jersey, has been arrested for embezzle merit. Mr. V. will no doubt be sue -ceded in the National House of Re preseutalives by a Democrat. The radical party through its repre seututives, Fraud Hayes and John Sherman, desire to unsettle financial affairs. Mr. VoorUecs is first to the front, and bids them hands off, and we rather think they will obey him. The Fraud, in his message, urges the withdrawal of the greenback tender circulation; advocates no more e linage of silver, and recommends a tajiff oil tea and coffee, for the benefit of consumers. Three grand pro positions, which may be discussed to his heart’s content before the adjournment of the present Congress. Hayes is anxious for Congress to appro,- risfe money for the employment of U.

The organ of the ff vH ul party of Indiana, the Indianapolis Journal, of the sth inst., contains the declaration, “Nobody’s daughters demand white husbands or none, except those of Democrats.” Piopt-rly eomplimeumry to Democratic hisses, but what of tsho reflection and disgraceful slur cast on Republican maidens? Is it .rue that they prefer negro husbands to none? Mr. Journal, your lusinua lion is a bane slander.

Washington Capital: During the ceremony of unveiling the Thomas monument Governor Young, John Sherman, James A. Garfield and Stanley Matthews, each in turn, stole into the Senate chamber and patted his • •out-tails over the seal of Senator Thurman to try how it would feel. I'oru looked as if he were going to invite f ho chamber out to drink, Sherman as if he had stolen the chair, Garfield appeared as if about to apologize for the intrusion. Stanley Matthews alone sat ‘grand, gloomy and peculiar, wrapped in the cloak of his own originality,” as if born to greatness he would never inherit. It is said that General Grant made • the remark to tire governor of Neva da that lie sincerely hoped the “necessity for itis nomination would uot arise.” The New York Sun, in connection with the j (.mark says: “What concftitl As if there could arise any circumstances which would render it a matter of necessity that one par tioulur individual should be elected president of the United States!” And tiie Indianapolis Sentinel adds: “i’es! we would like to know wiiat extraordinary power Grant could ise if he were president. We have had enough of this sort of talk. Do those who indulge-in it propose that Grant shall go outside of the constitution of ihe country to rule it? If they think that he possesses that sort of talent that would lead him bevond the limits of the iaw, Grant becomes a Very d ngel'ous rnan to have iu the White House. ThU really is what makes tiraut a favorite candidate with the advanced centralization wing of the iludical party—the certainty that he possesses the daring to act outside the constitution under certain cir->-u in stances. The circumstances cun ue brought about by such men as Bluiue, Colliding, John A. Logan and John Sherman.” Bid you ever hear Eli Perkins? (Melville D. Lamlon). Why, he is the funniest man living. Ho is funny to begin with, and as he speaks on ingots as funny as iL is possible fp>- a man to be, and then keeps on getting funnier. The sui-jcct of bin lecture will lie “The Philosophy us Fun.” O! course you will want to -take youi opera glasses, so that you can the more readily see the point of liis iokes. When is he coming? now does he look? -Why of course he does! And ha has a habit common

with most witty individuals of wear* ing his nose right between his eyes; and ho invariably* when standing, keeps his mouth above his chin. He says that “those purchasing tickets to his lecture will be admitted to a front seat at the funeral tn t ease he should be hung before the time arrived. He will be at Starr’s Hall on Monday e.veuiug, December 15, 1879. Those not holding season tickets will still find it to their advantage to purchase, as a reduction has been made proportional to the number of entertainments yet »o come. Eli Perkins, at Starr’s Hall, next Monday evening. Yesteiday tne weather brightened up clear and cold. Emmet Kannal expects to occupy his new quarters about the holidays. Arrangements are being perfected by the M. E. Sabbath School for a merry festival Christmas eve. “Just awful,” were the most frequent ’’cuss words” used with reference to the recent “spell of weather.” John Bartley, aged about 22 years, died of typhoid pneumoaia, at the residence of his father, in Barkley towuship, Saturday morning last. McCoy & Thompson purpose erect" ing a new bank building next spring. It will occupy the site of their present place of business, and adjoining lot. Cards* are out tor the wedding of Miss Katie, daughter of oar old-time Iriend, R. li. Pettit, Esq,, of Remington, and W.H. Lego, of this place. - Time—l7th iust. Willey <& Sigler’s new business rooms have been illuminated with gas during the week, and the workmen are driving work to completion. It is probable Messrs. W. & S. will occupy them the coming week.

pTrolina. The main trunk line of the Chesapeake and Ohio road, 425 miles in length, connecting Richmond, on the James, with Huntington, on the Ohio, was finishsd at greet cost six years ago. The gap which remains to be filled in, and on which work hat lately been resumed, is a distance of only about eighty miles, lying between Huntington, in West Virginia, and Mount Sterling, in Kentucky. When this and other connecting links are finished to Huntington, Missouri, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio and Kentucky wifi have a shorter and more direct route to Eastern tide-water than any now fa existence. The-C. and S. A. is not so far advanced as the former, yet capitalists are now interestng themselves in its construction in such a manner as to insure that the road will be built. borne of the Chicago and New York papers are giving themselves a great deal of worry over the possibility of on enormous railroad monopoly which may control all the lines in the country and tax the public ht its pleasure. It is not impossible that tbe question of railroad monopoly in this country nmy solve itself without the aid of any great amount .of legislation. The highways of trade and travel are becoming to numerous to belong held by any one combination. With the Port Royal route and the Chesapeake route open, there need not be serious apprehensions of any monopoly of long duration—[lndianapolis Journal

Indiana Threatened.

[Washington Special lo New York Sun.] The Republican managers, who do not feel syre of getting the vote oj New York next year, have planned a campaign to break the Democratic column by a flank movement against Indiana. The scheme proposes to colonize negroes enough in that State with sufficient residence to give them votes to overcome the existing majority. It has been successfully tried in Ohio at several elections, and Mr. Fost< rflhad the benefit of many black patriots imported from Kentucky in his recent contest against General Ewing.. The first installment of this ja Fading force, numbering about 60 negroes from the interior of North Carolina, passed through Washin ton last week on the way to Wayne county,lndiana. They had been persuaded to leave their homes and associations under the|promise of profitable employment; and when they reached the capital they were utterly destitute of means or supplies, and were detained in the cars, which had transported them, for two days, until money was collected to send them forward to their destination. This plan of introducing voters into a dislantcState is encouraged md promoted by the so called Emigrant Aid society, headed by Senator Wind om, which has charge of the exodus business. It was organized to aid the Republican party by appealing to Northern sympathy, under the false pretense that these deluded colored people were driven to seek new homes by denial of their rights But it seems that after enticing them away the originators of the movement leave their victims to starve by the roadside or to depend upon the charity of those against whom it was directed. That political society is now soliciting money through agents in the Northern cities and iuterioi towns, under the disguise of assisting the colored brother to escape from a new form of bondage, when in fact every dollar that does not stick to the tin gers of collectors is to be appropriated to tbe exportation of voters into Indiana aud parts of Ohio for the presidential election. Mr. Windom, of Minnesota, is well qualified for the management of the scheme. The scandal attaching to his first election to the Senate proves him to be a man of enterprise and of much business capacity. He had learned the ropes in the House of Representatives, and when he passed into the close corporation called the Senate, where the Republican managers parcelled out tne spoils by a tacit agreement, it was not difficult for an experienced ecou omist like Mr. Windom to become rich and to set up a grand establishment at Washington on the savings of his salary. With rare exceptions, his associates were nearly all fortunate in following the example of John Sherman,

Will Some One Explain This?

[Philadelphia Prose.] It is an extraordinary fact that the Uuited States pension roll grows larg er from year to year. In the course of nature invalid soldiers die; the widows of deceased soldiers re-marry, and thus forfeit their pensions; all the children born during the war eith er have passed or are fast approaching the age of 16, at which pensions cease; dependent mothers are drop ping off, and yet- the aggregate sura required to pay pensions is larger than ever before.

Too much, for the Ice.

[Detroit Free Progs.] Fifteen Kentucky negroes weut out to skate on a pond, and 15 was the number who were hauled out on rails and piled up near a blazing log heap to dry out and limber up. They go to moving on the pond to the tune of “Gwine to Glory,” and the ice couldn’t stand it.

The Democratic Turn.

[Peek's Sun.] There seems to be an apprehension that the Democrats will steal the next presidency. Well it is their turn. Democrats to bat! Greenbaekers on deck! Secretary Sehurz told Mrs. Grundy that Mrs. Hayes said she had great trouble with Mr. Hayes when they weut to market, as he always wanted to stop and tie a blue ribbon on the big pumpkins they ca-tae across.

Masquerade at the New Opera Hall, Christmas evening.

A Messenger from St. Nieholas.

In the good old days, when mooarchs claimed ti* hold commissions direct from the Almighty, and knights and barons divided the fullness of tbe earth among them, it was customary for a Potentate, setting forth upon his travels, to send before him Heralds, whe should announce his coming, and bid his brother Potentates prepare for his reception and entertainment. And doubtless it is in imitation of this venerable and laudabie custom, that good old Saint Nicholas sends his Herald flying throughout the length and breadth of the land, warning all his friends and admirers that he is on his way, and bidding all his juvenile worshipers to see their stockings closely darned, and the nails on which to bang the same fast drivon in therr b *droom walls. The Herald of bygone days wore a painted coat, and travelled generally on a mule, and called himself Rouge Sanglier, or Garter King at Arms, but the Herald of old Santa Claus is dressed in paper, and rides at his ease in a leathern mail-bag, and his name is EHRICHS’ FASHION QUARTERLY. For the FASHION QUARTERLY for Winter is out, aud now the little boys and girls who have been trying to be good (and finding it, as mortals generally do, pretty hard work) can scan the lists of good things coming, and feast their imaginations on visions of possible dolls and skates, and hobby horses, and picture-books, and wonderful mechanical toys with springs in their bowels urging them to various surprisiug automatic performances. Now, papa aDd mama, in the late evening hours, when the children are snug in bed, can lay their heads together, decide Tiow much they can afford for presents, and see that it is apportioned with exact justice to each expectant little one. And now the host of uncles and aunts, who really should do something for Jack’s boy, or Bessie’s little girl, will find themselves deprived of the timehonored excuse that they “really could’nt think of anything the child would like.” The FASHION QUARTERLY deservedly staads at the head of the periodical literature of Fashion: and indeed, in its own peculiar field it may be said to be absolutely without a rival. Combining the features of a catalogue, a fashion review, and a price curent. it tells its readers what is most in vogue, in what assortments they are offered, and at what prices they can be procured- and the claim of its publishers that it is a thoroughly reliable Purchaser’s Guide, has certainly a strong foundation of truth. The Winter number is, of course, devoted largely to holiday goods, ass ix ’ the current fashions of the season in dress are by no means -neglected, and space is also given to china and silverware and other household articles.— A novel and most, useful feature is the classification under proper headings, of presents suitable for gentlemen and ladies, a reference to. which exhibits at a glance th ■ different items of masculine and feminine necessity and enables intending givers to avoid that dreads ff vacancy of mind so apt to overtake them when they sit down to consider “what they shall give.” The literary portion of the magazine is also excellent, and abounds with interesting tales and sketches, and useful articles on household subjects. Miss Corson, of the New York Cooking School,contributes some of her experiences: and the lossons in dressmaking, and the art of lace work, will be welcome to every reader. Published by Ehrieh & Co., New York, at 50 cents a year, or 15 cents a single copy.
