The papers andthe evidence , in th contested election case of Lynch versus Chalmers from the Shoe String dis trict of Mississippi are all in. and the Committee will make a report in Mr. Lysch's favor in a few days. The case has already occupied too much time. Chalmer's never had the shaddow of a claim to the seat, and it is a burning shame that he was not literally kicked out of the House on the first day of the session. The Committee on Elections should know that the ri?ht of Chalmer's in the House is very nauseating to the public stomach. Common decency demands his immediate removal. The Yicksbuxg Herald, the leading Democratic paper in the State of Mississippi, declares that Chalmer's occupancy of the seat is an outrage upon every principle of honesty and .decency, and - a disgrace even to the Democratic party of Mississippi. Pending the disposition of the case let the country hold iU nose. Henry Watterson has a very in teresting article in the April number of the Century Magazine, on the oditie of Southern life, in which he treats most- : ly of the CoL Sellers and '.'Arkansaw traveler" sort of white people of the old South. At the close of the article he to the colored people. These remarks, we confess, are somewhat ambiguous as to Mr. WATERSotfs opinions with reference to the future of the Negro race, yet they are a marked illustration of the healthy change in public sentiment at the South, of which we have so frequently spoken. Mr. AVatterson has been a life long opponent of the freedom and political equality of the Negro. In the remarks which we quote it will be seen that humanity has at last got the best of him, and it is to his credit that he cannot repress a feeling of sorrow and remorse for the treatment the colored people have received and are receiving at the hands of the white people of the country. Let Mr. Wat TERSOJf use the power which his great paper, the .Louisville Courier-Journal, gives him, to right these wrongs and : he will win not only., the affectionate regard of the colored people but the approval of his own conscience. He eays: ' , "I kztow nothing that appears so directly to the intellects and sensibilities of thoughtful men as the treatment he (the Negro) has received among us, North and South, in the present and in the past, and I declare that when I think of him, funny as he may seem to be, I am moved by any other 'than mirthful suggestions. I look back into that by-gone time and I see him, not as a squalid serf, picturesque in his rags, or as we behold him on the minstrel stage, the clown in the pageant making merry with cap and bell, but as an image of impending ' sorrow crouched beneath the roof tree7 God's shaddow upon the dial of American progress whose cabalistic figures the wisest have not been able to read.

The Philadelphia Photographer of February, 1832, says moonlight photographs never have beta taken, and the author gives it as his

opinion that the feat is impossible. Mr. Jahr is a native of Berlin and a pupil of the eminent German Professor, Dr. Vogel. He came to America and New York in August, 1881, and to Cleveland about two months ago, and is now in New York. GARnim'S TOMB THK SUBJECT. When he determined to attempt photography by moonlight he selected a subject of sad .national interest the vault in Lake .View Cemetery which contained Garfield's body. Mr. Jahr, one moonlight night about two weeks aeo, took his camera to Lake View and made an attempt to photograph

the vault. He says a moonlight photograph is possible only with the new gelatine-bro-miae piaies, wuica are cijr ocumuh hv. will take a picture fifteen times quicker than with the old process. The first night the plate was exposed three and a half hours, but no picture was obtained. The operator knew not how to proceed or what was needed before that attempt, but he saw sev eral defects in his method which at the next trial he was able to remedy. The second evening he went out the moon was obscured by clouds, and he lingered in the cemetery tor four hours in vain. On the evening of March 3 the young German made his third scientific pilgrimage to Lake View. The night was clear and very beautiful. He set up his camera a few minutes before 8 o'clock and exposed his sensitive Elate for several hours to the moonlight uring that time he paced up and down the silent cemetery with no companion but the equally silent soldier on guard. At 3 a. m. he closed his camera and went home with his picture under his arm, developed his negative and secured an excellent print HOW THK PICCBE LOOKS. The photograph is peculiar. The sky is very white, the trees black. The vault is well taken, but the fact that the picture wss taken by moonlight is made evident because the shadows fall in two directions. During the early part of the night the shadows fell to the west, and toward morning to the east. The effect is peculiar. He says this is a time of the year -unfavorable for moonlight photography, but thinks that in the nummer beautiful landscape views can be taken. He AVK that if anv one doubts that the picture wax taken- bv moonlight he can call the ?nard to testify. In the tropical countries where the moon hines bo bnehtlv scenes will now be taken in the night that can not poss ibly be secured dnrin? the dav. These pictures will have a ieuliar charm because of the contrast be tween light and shadow, which is exceed inglv beautiful. CURIOUS, USKrUL AND SCIENTIFIC.

A brilliant black on iron and steel may be produced bv , applying, with a fine hair brush, a mixture of turpentine and sulphur boiled together. .

This varnish protects the metal perfectly, and is quite durable. Mr. Francis Watts, of Rockville, Conn, recent graduate of the Deaf Mute Asylum at Hartford, Conn- has completed a marble medallion likeness of Professor David Bartlett, the well-known instructor st tha ssylum who recently died, in the execu tion of the work Mr. Wats had only his memory and a photograph of Mr. Btx Jet to aid him.

Ether, however, is not suited to persons who faint easily, habitual drunkards, tr-o'e who drink a little every day, to persons who tufler from fatty heart or limited long action, or aged persons. Certain interesting facts have been noted by M. Delaunay with regard to the influence of strychnine as a poison, and the state of the animal operated on. Strychnine affects more quickly and intensely strong frogs rather than weak ones; frogs well fed than those which had been fatting; frogs that had been in vigorous exercise than these which had been excercised after injection than those which were not. Farther, a frog when hung by the leg showed the influence of the poison sooner than a frog suspended by the head; an intact frog than one that had been bled, and the rieht side of the frog than the left.

WASHINGTON LETTER.

Lynch-Clmlmers Chinese Bill Mahone and the Virginians Dr. J. S. Lewis Personal and Miscellaneous Notes. Washington D. C. March 27. The argument of theLynch-Chalmers contest before the .Election Committee has been concluded, and it is thought the report recommending the ousting of Chalmers win soon be made to the House. It will doubtless create consid erable debate, and may result in a proonged struggle. It can, however, have but one result, and that is the expulsion of this man Chalmers from a seat to which he himself does not claim that he was lawfully elected. lhe arguments in behalt of Mr. Lynch were made by himself and Hon. Stewart L. Woodford, of New York, who, it will be remembered appeared for Mrs. Chisholm, in the celebrated trial of the murderers of that lady's husband and children, in Mississippi, and who is therefore not unacquainted with the methods of the political thieves who now misgovern and rob that unfor tunate State. Casey Young, of Mem phis, conducted Chalmers defense. lhe speeches ot Messrs Woodlord ami Lynch were very eloquent and effective, and fullv covered the entire case of the people against the ballot box stutTers. t the close ot Mr. Lynch s speech, Casey Young arose to speak for Chalmers, and prefaced his remarks by com plimenting Air. Lvnch's speech in the highest terms, and said that he had ' no doubt that if the case were decided at once, his client would get a unanimous leave "to go." It is safe to say that he will be no more fortunate after the case is fully investigated and discussed in the open House, for it is hardly possible that even all the Democrats will vote for a man who is frank enough in his political piracy to admit that he has no legal right to the seat which he has stolen. The Anti-Chinese Bill was passed by the House just as it came from the Senate, without any alteration. Several efforts were made to reduce the time of suspension to ten or fifteen years, but the friends of the bill outvoted all such motions. The measure is now before the President, and it is generaly supposed will receive his signature. Many of the advocates of this bill and partic ularly Messrs läge, of California, Jones, of Nevada, and George of Mississippi, have coupled their declarations oi anti-Chinese sentiments with so much uncalled for, untruthful, and ungentle manly reflections on the Negroes of this country that they succeeded in alienat ing the sympathies of many who really deplore the particular character of our Chinese immigration; but who are right fully unwilling to join in any foolish and wicked race proscription. Such men. of course, after listening to the speeches of such men as Jones, Page, George, et , and seeing the anti-Chi nese movement drift into a race crusade similar to the Russian war on the Jews, very properly voted against it. In this connection, it is of interest to remark that of three or four Democratic Con gressmen of the Jewish race, all voted for this bill with the exception of Leopold Morse, of Boston. Democrat as he is, he could not forget that his own race was being hunted out of Russia like wild beasts. He character ized the measure a3 "undemocratic, unrepublican, and un-American," and un worthy of his support. Senator Jonas, of Louisiana, and Representative Bel mont of New York, both Jews, voted for the bill. It makes all the difference in the world as to whose ox is gored, you know, but I think Belmont and Jonas are estopped by their own action from entering any protest against the anti-Jewish movement in Russia. A delegation of Virginians were in the city last week to interview Senator Mahone on a strange (?) question, one that is never or rather hardly ever mentioned in this city of aggregated wis dom and virtue; namely, office getting. It seems that the Negro wing of the Readjuster forces, in the Old Dominion, have not been fully recognized to the ex tent they expected, or that was due them by reason of their preponderance in numbers, and consequently, thev A 9 have come up to know the whys and wherefores. The Senator assured them of hissym pathies and efforts in their behalf, but said the trouble was with the departmental officers here in Washington, who, he said, greatly preferred to appoint white men to all the places, rather than to mix their appointees. mere is some taiK oi iJianones go ing into the Cabinet, in order to take care of his Virginia friends. I hardly think he will do so, however. . Dr. J. C. rerguson, ot Ktchmond, a young colored physician, has been placed in charge of the Hospital for the colored insane. I received last week the sad news of the death from small pox, of Dr. J. L. Lewis, dentist, of Chicago. Dr. Lewis . in i was an intelligent, progressive ana ag gressive yountr man, fully possessed of all that individuality and determination of character, which, whether implanted in the white, black, red, or yellow man, always brings its posessor to the front. From a poor and friendless boy, he arose by his own exertions to an enviable and respectable position among his fellow men of whatever race. I am little acquainted with the early life of Dr. Lewis, but I do know that in the last eight or ten years of his time he built up a very extensive and remunerative business, and was regarded by his brother professionals as a thoroughly skillful and well informed man. His death while yet so young is really a seri ous loss to the race. The example of his admirable success in the face of such overwhelming difficulties as beset the pathway of every Negro in this country when he entered the professional walks of life, is worthy of imitation by every aspiring young man of the race. We need more such men as Dr. Lewis. 'Bill Brown, of Kentucky, has com, to the front, and gone to the rear, as

the author of the letter attacking the

memory of President Garfield, published in the Post news paper, of this city. Brown, it appears was a Blaine delegate to the Chicago convention, but it does not seem exactly clear why he is so violently anti-Garfield when his favorite candidate stood so near the dead President. Brown or any other fool is in bad business when attacking the memory of a man like Garfield whose great suffering and untimely death were mourned not only by a whole nation, but by the entire civilized world. If Brown lives long, he will be made fully aware of his mistake. The verdict of the courtmarshall in the Whittaker case, which ordered the dismissal of that cadet from the army and his imprisonment, has been disap proved bv the President, on the ground of the.aJmissicn of improper evidence. An order, however, has been issued dis missing him from the Military Acad emy for deficiency in his studies. He is at present residing in New York City, and when interviewed by a Tribune ana wnen interviewed by a iribune reporter, lately, respecting his future, if expelled from the Academy, he exDressed hw firm determination vet to I , o, J ue au u nicer m me J. o. army. April 16th is the natal, day of the District colored i)eople, it being the ani versary of their emancipation. It is to be celebrated this year with great eclat and ceremony. Capt. O. S. B. Wall will preside, and speeches will be made by John 11. Smith, Frof. Greener, I rederick Douglass, and others. Among other features of the occasion will be a review of the colored militia by the Commissioners. General Grant is at present a guest of President Arthur's at the White House, and is being wined and dined by all the national magnates in the city J ne leaves sometime tnis wees lor a southern trip. The General looks the picture of health, as if all street agrees as well with him as the White House. W. A.

Col lector of Internal Revenue Pleasants, postmaster Davis at Athens, are recent appointments in that state. a a movement is on loot to tender a testimonial benefit to S. S. Lacey, of thebunday Item, who was recently fined in the criminal court here for tell ing the truth about a quack dentist. I hope it will succeed, as Mr. Lacey is a deserving young man. J. H.

B Manifestationsof Fear. London Daily News. It is said that the Emperor Charles the Fifth, reading an epitaph, "Here lies one who never knew fear," remarked, "Then he never snuffed a candle with his fingers." It is certainly a somewhat absurd, though a fa vorite claim for a popular hero, that "he never knew fear. ' Ho one possessing hu man nerves and brain could say this with truth. That a brave man never yields to the emotion may be true enough; but to say that at no period of his life he experienced fear, is simply impossible. As Lord Ljtton expresses it: "It shames man not to feel man's mortal fear. It shames man only if that tear subdue." There is a story of a young recruit in the Thirty Years' War going into action for tne first time in his life in the highest spirits. ''Look at Johann' remarked one of his comrades, as the troops were drawn up ready to charge, 4he is full of jokes; how brave he is." "Not at all," replied the veteran addressed ; "he knows nothing of what is coming. You and I, old comrade, are far braver: we sit still on our horses though we are terribly afraid." Fear certainly is one of the most irrational of the passions. It is not always excited by the presence of danger. Men who can be cool and collected in cases of real peril will tremble at some fanciful alarm. The Duke of Schömberg could face an enemv with ready courage, but ned trom a room if he saw a cat in it A very brave rrencn oincer zainiea at me sight ot a mouse. The author of the "Turkish Spy" states that if he had a sword in his hand he would rather encounter a lion im the desert than be alone in a room with a spider. Many people have similar fanciful antipathies, which excite their fears in a manner real danger would be powerless to do. Fear or infection is a dread that embitters the lives of many sensible people. There is a legend of an Eastern dervish, who, knowing that the plague was about to visit a certain city, bargained with the disease that only a specified number of victims should tall. When twice the number perished, the plague explained its apparent breach of contract by asserting "Fear killed the rest." In all times of epedemics doctors can tell similar tales. Dunng the great plague of 1665-6, an unfortunate man died purely from fright; a practical joker who met him in the street protented to discover the fatal "pots" upon him, and the poor man went home and died, not of the disease, but of sheer terror. A long obituary list might be compiled of tiie victims of rear; trom the criminal in the Middle Ages, who, reprieved after he had laid his head on the block, was found to have died ere the axe could touch him; down to the poor nun mentioned by Horace Walpole, whose disreputable abbess literally 'nightened her to death" by visiting her at night and telling her that she was dying. Pretty Conceits In Buttons. Boston Transcript Those who have a soul above buttons need to be informed that the present fancy models dress buttons after small berries and rounc seed vessels of plants. Blackberry huttoni of clustered jet beads are hardly new, bu the fancy has been carried further, am drops of dull ebony imitate wild black thorn berries, with the scar of the calyx at the end. or in metal have the blue bloom oi cedar berries fined upon them.

Atlanta Constitution. A contractor, who was building a tunnel on a certain railroad, observed one morning that the face of a member of his gang was disfigured with bruises and plasters. "Hallo, Jimmy," said he, "what have you been doin'?" "Not very much, sorr," answered Jimmy; "I was just down at Bill Mulligan's last night, sorr, an' him an' me had a bit av a discooshen wid sticks!" A New York exchange, referring to the Sprague divorce suit, says that Senator Conkling will be highly gratified to learn that the charge of adultery has been withdrawn. Conkling does not care a cent for that cnarge, but he will be glad to know that the other charge is withdrawn. We refer to the charge in Sprague's old shotgun. That is the charge that concerns him most Enthusiasm seems to have got the better of logic in a presumably Irish advocate of total abstinence at one of the late meetings of the British Association. A gentleman was telling the meeting that he was eightyone years of age, and had never been an abstainer, when he was greeted by the exclamation which "brought down" the house; "You might have been 100 by this time if you had." An envious Neu Yorker probably a vic tim of Wall street sent a letter last week to Rev. Dr. Newman, who ministers to the spiritual wants of General Grant, Jay Gould, Russell Sage and several other millionaires, asking him to preach "a rattling, orthodox, old-fashioned hell's fire sermon for the benefit of his chief parishioners, who couldn't get to Heaven anyhow." A Conyers, Ga., man had been noticing that his butcher invariably let his hand rest slightly on the meat when he weighed it, and he reweighed it at home and found it from a half to a pound short He kept an account of these deficiencies, and when they aggregated 100 pounds he took an attachment for the butcher's hand, claiming that it rightly belonged to him, he having more than paid for it Nonsense, the hint that any minister is likely to get into trouble from ordinary Parish visits, because he is so apt to find only the women at home. Let him only behave with popular reserve and dignity and he needs no accident insurance policy to warrant his safety; but let him be a fool, and go round greeting the young women wit a "holy kiss" and making long visits where be ought to make short ones, and his business becomes far more dangerous than that of a Gloucester sailor. Congregationalist There is a great deal of talk in Columbus, O., over a recent marriage. The bridegroom was William D. Pugh, son of a Judge, newphew of a member of Congress, heir to $250,000, and of very respectable connections. The bride was Ella Boggs, a dancer in a low concert garden. Pugh knew that he would be ostracized, and so started for New Mexico with his wife, after closing his buriness affairs, intending never to returnTae sermon was duller than usual and it was only here and there that a fully wide awake member of the congregation was seen, when a little fellow whose uneasy tvis tings had aroused his father from a comfortable nap, piped up in a clearly audible voice. "Papa, what do we have to stay here for?" That simple, childish question injected more animation into the members of that Church on that one evening than the pastor had aroused during his entire ministry. Cincinnati Saturday Night During "Rip Van Winkle" Jefferson's travels through France he chanced, in one of the smaller towns, to visit a church, the officiating priest of which had just died, and in consequence the letters It-1.

The actor's little boy, clinging to his father's hand, looked up at the familiar word, and exclaimed, "Why, papa, how did the people know that you were coming here to-day?' There is a story that the late Prince SuwarofT, who was a great favorite of the Russian Court, had at one period of his early life Nihilistic tendencies, which came , to the knowledge of the Czar Nicholas, who sent for him and said: "Prince Alexander.

scarcely bring myself to believe could ever

be found among a baBd of rebels the name of Suwaroff. I can not believe it now; it can not must not be." So saying, the Emperor tore the list and threw the pieces into the paper basket Overcome by the Emperor's magnanimity, Suwaroff threw himself at his feet and made a full confes sion. "From that time I was cured " he told a friend. MISCELLANEOUS NOTES. Illinois marketed $49,000,000 of live stock last year.

Haverly, before sailing for Europe Sat urdav on the steamer Celtic, said: "I expect to return in July or August the latter month at the least Mr. C. II. McConnell, of Chicago, will have charge of my general business during by absence, by reason of my long acquaintance and intimate business relations with him." "Is this trip made entirely in the interest of health?" the reporter inquired. "I am afraid not although the commands of my physician on that score are imperative. I will consult with my representatives at my London agency, and afterward entertain proposals already made to me by English capitalists. This, in a word, may result in the establishment of an American Theater in London. I will also investigate the feasibility of transporting one of two of my enterprises to Europe at a very early date." "Has the present season been a profitable one so far as your interests are concerned?" "Decidedly: and I wish to emphatically deny all reports to the contrary. I never, felt more assured of continued success than at present." At least 500 people assembled to witness Mr. Haverly's departure from the North Klver White Star line pier. . C. H. McConnell, the agent of J. H. Haverly during his absence in Europe, ears that Haverly s affairs are in good condition, better S3, per cent, than they have been at any time in the past two years, or since he sank over $300,000 in his investments in Colorado. He has six Theaters in leading cities and four traveling companies, which are doing weU. Stephens' Retirement. A Washington special of the 26th says: Alexander H. Stephens Intends to retire from public life at the expiration of the present Congress. In conversation with a reporter to-day, he was asked if tbe reports to that effect were irne. "Yes, tbat is true," taid he. "In fact when I ran for Congress, In 1880, 1 made up my mind to retire as soon as the term expired. I ara now past seventy-six years of age, and ieel as if my declining health and physical debility render it proper that one more capable of performing the duties of thA nooition should take mr place. This Is not a very elegant way of stating it. You can say that retirement la due to my age and infirmities. I wish that the remainder of my days should be extended to the end of the present Congress, be spent in quiet and rest. Tbe labors of a member of Congress are too heavy for me to discharge as 1 ought to. 1 have always been a Democrat, but an independent Democrat I have never acknowledged allegiance to any party. My allegiance has been due to principle, and party organization I have never held to be other than subordinate to the great essential principles of constitutional government as announced by Jefferson and maintained by the fathers of the Republic In that school of politics I was born and reared, and in it I expect to die." Beecher on JTorelg: ners. A New York special of the 26th says: Beecher touched upon two important public matters in his sermon thla morning the action of Congress in regard to the Chinese and the legislative tinkering of city charters. On the former Beecher said that on of the special difficulties of government was caused by the fact that this country was the gulf into which poured a stream of Immigration. That stream carried down as much mud as the Nile into its delta, and the mud was miasmatic. It made the best soil, but killed all It overflowed. But still immigration was needed, and he favored ' it Great trouble arose over the Irish vote. "The Irish." he said, "is a wonderful race. Mercurial and full of men of genius, full ot the most admirable creatures who ever dual

nated the earth, tbe Irish were full of OrlTinf

iorce, bat baa no constructive power. Alone they could never build a Nation. But cross the breed and they formed an admirable element of a Nation's power. iBut thev did make mb-chlef in city government" Said Jieecher: "Thank God Ireland has not many more to send over, as she is pretty nearly gone up. The next element is German, more numerous but more subordinate to law and naturally peaceful citizens. After tbe noage-podge 01 ail nations comes last, out best 01 all, the Chinamen. It has been said that tbe German could live on what the Yankees throw away, the Jew on wkat the Germans throw away, and the Chinese on what the Jews throw away. They are types of patient Industry and persistency in living. and can do more, and live on less, than anyone else. And here oar fool Congress goea to work to shut them out. Applause.! OI all fantastae foolishness is this legislation of Congress. All the Important races in our country have a spring-up wblch carries them to reek the higher forms of living. Tbe want of the country la a class of men to do the common ana vulgar work. Vteare hungry for them. The work is left for the brokendown, and the under-class, and here we have a class of men coming to us, ready and willing to 0.0 u, ana we shut the golden gate of hope ana promise in ineir laces, and God writes down a HAo' aainet 11 Kaam TAa K 1 ce of leglslaUon JaDnlausel and tbat is my opinion." A Battle Between Officers aud Deioeradoi. Tombstons, March 29. This mornine Deputy Sheriff Breckenridge with a posse composed of Jack Young, E. H. Allen, and J no. A. Gilhspie went to Chandlers ranch, about eight miles from town to arrest two notorious desperados, Billy Grounds alias "Billy the Kid," and Dewing Hunt, for whom warrants were out for cattle stealing. On arriving at the ranch grounds Hunt came out and at once commenced firing, when the battle became general. Hunt shot !Gille3piei through the head. dropping him dead in his tracks, and wounded Allen slightly in the neck by another shot Allen sent a ball through Hunt's breast bringing him down mor tally wounded. Meantime Breckenridge put a charge of buckshot into Ground's face and bead, inflicting fatal wounds. Young, who was at the rear of the house to prevent the escape of the cow boys in that direction, was shot through the thigh, probably by Breckenridge while firing at Grounds. Special Deputy Gillespie was highly esteemed, and his death is deplored b- all good citizens. The Chief of Police went out and brought in the wounded this afternoon. A Scene at Castle Garden. A New York special ays: Scene Castle Garden ; enter R Pommeret. lead ing a huge bear, followed by seven comrades. eacn leading a bear. UoLn bears and men ware steerage passengers on the steamship Chateau Lioville, from Bordeaux. Custom Houte officer shouts: "Hold on.Tou'll have 10 pay duty on those bears." Antonie Me no got ze monie. so you take ze bears. Officer No. no. Don't leave the creature here : they will eat us up. Antoine Ah. out. zay win not eat like ze can nibal : ze animals are perfect amente, tame. See. I put my hand in ze mouth. Officer No. no: you can not leave them here. We have no place for them. Take them away. The eight Frenchmen, with their eight bears. then filed out of Castle Garden up Broadway. Pedestrians seemed only too anxious to give them right of way. Pommeret said it was absurd that anybody should be frightened at the animals, as they were perfectly tame. They would be employed in the Wet for drawing small carte, as they had been trained to do that work. The following judicious reminder has been posted on the curtain of Grand Theater, Kouen, in letters large enough to be read by every one present: "When a fire breaks out in a theater the danger most to be dreaded is an indiscriminate rush for the doors. In the usual course the Grand Theater is wholly evacuated in seven minutes, so that the last spectator can always leave the building long before any danger really exists."
