EMMA MOULTON is about as tougb a customer for Plymouth church as her husband. She is evidently determined to have her rights in Plymouth church even if its shepherd suffers. This wrangling among th&m is not calculated to spread abroad the gospel of peace.

THERE is something bordering on the ludicrous in the idea of Wm. RI. Tweed, ex-boss of New York City, a fugitive from justice, hiding from that police, of which he was but a little while ago the lord and master, and afraid to show himself upon those streets, whereon only a few months ago he displayed himself as the lordliest na bob. A convicted felon, ho wanders houseless and homeless, a hunted creature, with the offered reward for his capture staring at him from every wall in the city where he hides. Poor, miserable, weak, wicked old man, how great and how just a penalty is being exacted from him for those flaunting crimcs which he perpetrated, and of which he almost boasted. Wrecked in mind, body and estate, as completely as any ship that foundered at sea, these later chapters of his life aro making amends for the demoralization wrought hv tho fvret lohovoln WAR displayed the spectacle of a malefactor of the worst type, buying a sort of barbaric respectability with his stoleu funds, aud overriding the law.

THE nomination iu the Democratic caucus of Mr. Kerr for speaker of the House is especially gratifiying to Indinniaus. For years lie" has represented the State in Congress and won lor himself a national reputation, as a scholar, and Statesman. This recognition of his services for the country by his party, is upon this its first return to power, especially gratifying to him aud to his friends. To the discharge of the arduous and important duties of the position to which he has been called by the votes of his collague3 he will bring a mind well schooled in paflamentary practice, a large experience of legislation and fairness and abiding integrity, better than all else.

The nomination of Mr. Kerr settles at the very threshold of the session, the attitude of the Democratic party on the finance question. Mr. Kerr is a hard money man of the most pronounced type, and his selection for the Speakership indicates beyond all peradveuture that a good round controlling majority, of tlie members will set their faces resolutely iu the direction of a return to that old fashioned gold and silver money, for which it, during its whole his tory, was the staunch advocate and firm friend. An end is to be put here and now to that absurd dallying by any part of the party, with these new faugled notions of finance which have been invented within the past few months. Henceforth the party is to be true to its traditions aud preserve that old conservatism which prefera sound and steady, if slow growing, prosperity to experimenting with theorie8 which hold out brilliant promisesj about the fulfillment of which there is very considerable doubt, and an unpleasant possibility of ruin.

The City Debt.

To the Wdltorsol the Gazette: •A." thought he was doing a gocd work in showing "J." his mistakes in the criticism he passed upon the article by tho former, concerning the city debt and when he had settled down to

a state of quiet enjoyment, which always results from the performance of good deeds, his heart was grieved to find out from reading your virtuous sheet of the 24th ulc., that his good intentions had been misconstrued. He fibds himself accused of the heinous crimes named in "J.'s" article of that date: 1. He is accused of having been informed by the editor, when his criticism was presented, that the mistakes referred to were typographical errors. 2. He is accused of thinking that an article from his pen adds to the attractiveness of a newspaper.

3. He is accused of not working by rule of common sense. 4. He is accused of making a misstatement of#2M000,

4. He is told that everybody knows his articles on sight. 6. He is charged with having studied theology. 7. He is challenged to a trial of skill in addition and subtraction. 8. Ho is charged with paying but a small amount of taxes. "A." did not present his communication to the editor in person, hence, he could not have been informed of the typographical errors at that time.

He did not know that the errors belonged to the type-setters, and not to "J." until after the communication which galls him so was published, yet, he says that he has no doubt of it. 2. "A." was not aware of the fact that he was so highly edified with his own performances, until informed of it in so kind a manner. Ho feels grateful for the information, and trusts that hereafter he will not need such remind-

3. "A." knows that he has not uncommon sense. He never pretended to have more than just onougti sonse to defend himself when attacked by barking curs. Now, Mr. "J.," don't say that you have been called a cur. 4. If the city must pay her portion of the county debt, a mistake of ?209,000 has not beon made. The county debt is nearly $100,000. The city's portion of it is about $60,000 which added to $291,000, makes $351,000, the en tire amount which the property of this city is liable for. "A. said the debt was not loss than $400,000. Now, $400,000 minus $351,000 leaves $49.000, which is not a mistake of $209,000, but ot course it could do for a mistake, and tho writer could shed bitter tears of repentance over the fact that ho did a a is a a such a good chance to tell him of it three times. He hopes to be as infallible as the Pope of Rome hereafter 5. "A," is not sorry that everybody knows his articles on sight. He wants everybody to know them so well that they will remember the bulk of them. "'Tis a consummation devoutly to ba wished," y, "A." coes not think that the study of theology constitutes a crime. He is sorry to kuow that "J" has not committed so heinous a crime, and hopes that he will at once inform himself of some of the important truths of theology, among wbicb are these: "Thou shalt not bear false witness." "The wicked shall be turned into hell with all the nations that forget God." Let "J." repent and believe in Christ that he may be saved

No one will give him the right hand of fellowship more heartily than "A." 7..-"A", accepts the challenge to a trial of skill in addition and subtraction. The time to be July 4th, 1877 the place, some room in the High school building. If terms are not sat isfactory, let seconds be appointed who shall determine the lime and place of conflict. 8. "A." pays but a small smount of taxes. For 1875 he will not pay more than $25 or $30 of individual taxes. He is glad that he has no moreto pay. It is none of ''J.'s" business, however, how much or how little he pays There are some men in this city who arrogate to themselves the right to criticise public expenditures because they pay heavy taxes. Men who pay but a small amount have as good right to have their voices heard as others. It is more difficult for men of little means to pay what they do pay, than for men of ample means to pay what they pay. Perhaps "J." rich I trust he is. I hope ho will al wavs bo ahlfl ipnns his taxes, mat he will also be able to preserve a good roputation (which I presume he has,) and that when he shall "shuffle off this mortal coil," he will go to aland where adverse criticisms will never be passed and provoking mistakes never be made.

BABCOCIC TO BE INVESTIGATED.

Washington, Dec. 4. ThePresi dent having granted the request of O. E. Babcock for a court of inquiry into the charges recently made against bim at St. Louis, to-day des ignated Lieutenant General P. H. Sheridan, Major General W, 8. Hancock and Brigadier General A. H. Terry to compose a court, and they be ordered to meet in Chicago, on Tuesday, December 9. Major Asa Beard Gardner, professor of law at West Point military academy. The official order detailing the court proides that the court shall report the facts as found and give an opinion on the case. Attorney General Pierrepont to-day telegraphed the U. S. attorney, at St. Louis, advising that oflicer of the appointment of the court of inquiry in General Babcock's case, and instructing him that the appointment of amilatary court is in no manner to say any proceedings that the court authorities may determine upon as being proper in the case. The U. S. attorney is also instructed to give the court .every aid in his power to use all efforts to facilitate a thorough and complete investigation of the charge?. A joint telegram was sent to District Attorney Dyer, on the 2d inst,, signed by the Attorney General and Secretary of the Treasury, directing him to use every effort to prevent the implication of any innocent person in the conspiracy to defraud the Government, but to spare no one who is guilty.

PREPARING FOR THE BATTLE.'

The canvass for the speakership was actively conducted up to the 'ait possible minute. The floor and lobbies of the House of Representatives had been crowded from half ast one, and at five minutes of two egan, with difficulty, to be cleared of persons not jBntitlea to participate in the caucus. The only new development at that time had been the determination of the Virginia dele» gation to vote unanimously for Whitehead for clerk. The work of singling out and rejecting outsiders was completed about 2:15 P. M.t when the caucus was called to order by Fernando Wood, and on his motion L. Q. C. Lamar, of Mississipp', was chosen the presiding officer. On the motion of Mr. Hoi man, ofIndiana, Mr. Banning, of Ohio, was made secretary.

LAMAR

TAKES THE CHVIR AND

JS MAKES A SPEECH.

Mr Lamar on taking the chair, said: Gentlemen—In calling me to aition of responsibility and

distinctoin you have conferred an honor which I appreciate most highly, and for which I thank you most cordially. We are here confronted with a crisis in the history of the Democratic party of the country, which brings lo our party great op portunites, but is, at the same time, freighted for u^ with solemn responsibilities, and if we do not improve these opportunitie3 and rise to the measure of these responsibilities, the fruits of the great political revolution which has brought in here to-day will be for us like tho fruit which grows upon, the accursed sea. The people of the country, by overwhelming majorities of the States and majorities in the State, have placed tlie 'Democratic party, after a long period of exclusion from power, iu possession of the most important department of tho federal Government. When I say important, Ido not mean that the individual members are invested with the imposing prerogative or great personal distinction. The departments of patronage, those which hold and command the glittering prizes of government emoluments and honors are the co-ordi-uate branches of the government which are still under the control of our political opponents. The members of the House of Bepresen tatives have no patronage whatever beyond that of the appointment of a military or navy cadet, and their compensation is barely adequate to a life of republican simplicity and presidential economy. There are many offices in the gift of the executive for more profitable, in the public esteem, fV.r more distinguished than that of a seat in the House of Representatives

war, that would-be element of disturb ance to the American Union, has main ly disapeared, as is evidenced by your election, and in its stead has grown a more fraternal feeling which regards us of the Southern States aB fellow cit izens of the same great nation. On the other hand, the people of whom speak, and of whom I am one, are here to-day by tbeir Representatives to honor any draft wbioh the American nation may draw upon their patriotism or their faith the glory and tho beuefianceof American institutions. (Applause.) The experiment which has been introduced among us, basod upon confidence in the workings of self-government and intended to solve the difficulties connected with the recent social and political transformation, have an open field and lair play, and no hindrance shall be placed in the way of its vigorous developement and its ample sue* cess. (Applause.) We want a Government that we can love and revere and serve from the motive of reverence and love. We hunger for a patriotism which shall knit all the people together in a generous and loving brotherhood. Let us not forget that the great victory of lss fall which brought us here was achieved, not alone by Democrats, but with the co-operation oi independent patriots and unselfish men of all parties, tried and alarmed by the Increasing evils resulting from corruption maladministration. Reformers are urgently needed. Let us widely make them, A new prosperity is everywhere urgently desired.^ Let us, by removing unjust criminations, by imposing rigid economy, by restoiinfr a sound currency, by securing the equal rights of all the States and all tha people, make the Democratic party the authors of anew prosperity.

THE PRELIMINARY SKIRMISH. At the conclusion of Mr. Lamar's speech a discussion ensued upon the EQOd.6 of voting, whether by secret ballot or viva voice. The result was a decision to vote by secret ballot. The nominations were then made and voting began. .The first ballot resulted as follows: Whole number of votes cast 161 Necessary for choice 81 Michal C. Kerr, of Ind 71 Samuel R- Randall, of Penn 59 Samuel S. Cox, of N. 31

THE SECOND CHARGE.

A second ballot was taken immediately with the following result: Whole number of votes cast 162 Necessary for choice 82 Michal C. Kerr, of Ind 77 Samuel S. Randall, of Penn 63 Samuel S. Cox, of N. 21 Milton Saylor, of Ohio 1

LOST AND WON.

Ou the third ballot Mr. Kerr was nominated bv theibllow:

Whole numbar of votes 161 Necessary for choice 81 Kerr 90 Randall 63 Cox 7 Saylor 1

TUB -ENEMY CAPITULATES. After the result of this ballot had beon announced, Mr. Randall, who bad just entered tho hall said: Mr. Chairman,let the wi&h of the majority be the voice of all. From this moment the differences among ourselves must be at an end, and thus will we present an united l'rout to our adversaries. Our mission on this lloor must be, as far as wo arc able, to confine the Government to its constutional purposes, and expose tho corruption of the administration. A word more of a personal character to those around who have so steadily supported me. They have lost their choice, but have gained a ilfo long friend. I now move that the nomination of Michael C. Kerr, of Indiana, be made unanimous. The motion was adopted amidst considerable cheering.

The caucus took a recess until 7 o'clock. HOW THEY WA1TKI) FOR THR VKRD10T"

During the caucus proceedings Mr. Randall remained in the Ways and Means Committee room, and Mr. Kerr in the tostoffico Committee room,each surrounded with friends awaiting the reception of fresh news from the inside. Mr. Cox also wqs absent from the caucus.

THE SMALEER FRY.

The causus re-assembled at 7 o'clock. Tho first ballot for clerk resulted as follows: George M. Adams, of Kentucky, 43 Crittenden, of Missouri, 32 Archer, 11, Tyler, 10, Dubois, 11, Banks, 16, Sliober, 16, Whitehead 16, and 19 scattering. On the second ballot Adams obtained 48, Crittenden 56, Dubois 4, Banks 2, Whitehead 11. Adams having received a majority he was declared the nominee of the caucus. Wedderborn withdrew as a candidate this morning. John G. Thompson, of Ohio, was nominated for Sergeant-at-Arms on the first ballot, the vote being 113 lor Thompson. Cook 25, McClosky 7, Fitzhugh 1, Benjamin J. Harris, ol Maryland, 13. On the second ballot for doorkeeper, L. D. Fitzhugh, of Texas, received 83 votes, a inajoiity of all cast. Fitzhugh was aergeant-at-Arms for the Confederate Congress. Nine persons were yoted "for as postmaster. On the fourth ballot James Stuari, of Virginia, received 91 votes, a majority oi all cast. The Rev. J. L. Townsend, of Washington, Episcopalian, was chosen chaplain. It being near midnight the caucus adjourned.

But this brrnch is nevertheless, undea our matchless system of Government, the eorner stone of our fabric of lioerly, because it i4 the only department of the federal government directly responsible to the people of the country, and receiving its powers directly from their hands. All the other branches of government are two or three degrees emoved from the people in the mode of their uelection or in the nature of their responsibilities. But while the House of Representatives is thus immediately responsible. All the other branches of the Government, are responsible to this body. The people of the country have charged the Democratic party in the House of Representatives with the important duty of bringing these co-ordinate branches of the Government to the just responsibility. Tho people demand at our hands sweeping and thorough reform in the civil service which shall be conducted in a spirit that will secure the appointment to places of trust and responsibility of the honest, the experienced, aud the capable. There is also an imperative demand that a vigilant examination bo made into the administration of the public revenue of the country, that all the public accounts shall be scrutinized by us, and corruption be ierreted out, and wrong-doers, no matter how high, or how low, shall be fearlessly arraigned, and fully exposed and punished. One of the most pressing demands upon us is to perfect, and adopt such a system of taxation as will bring in the required revenue with tho fewest restrictions upon commerce, and with the least burden tn t.ho neoplA. and that the burden may be equitably distributed ly adjusted. Owing to the exigencies of one of those internecine conflicts incident to the life of almost every country, and also a pernicious system ot legislation, our people are suffering from the evils of an irredeemable currency. With meeting and grppliug with the difficulties of this vital and perplexing question, it will be our duty to take care that nothing-ie done which shall impair the good faith of the conDtry,or tarnish tho public honor, or lower or distuob the credit of our Governmont. But we are to remove those obstructions which bear on the progress and check the prosperity of the American people. It is our duty as Democrats, it is the duty and glory of the Democratic party, whilo it controls this house,to see that the national credit and currency of this Democratic Republic is made equal with that of any nation on the earth, and the grandest aspirations of the Democratic party and its crowning glory will be to restore tho constitution to its primitive strength and authority, and to make it the protector of every section and of every State In the Union, and of every human being of every r^ce, color and condition in the land. Apprehension and distrust of one part of the nation, that portion of the Southern people arrayed against the Federal Government iu the late [of 10,000 words. Tho message will be

HONORS TO THE VICTOR.

Washington, Dec. 5.—Representative Kerr received many of bis friends to-day, who called to congratulate bim on his nomination to the Speakership. All parties concedc his fitness for the position.

THEY ATL'ROVE.

The remark of Representative Randall in thfc caucus, and his motien to make the nomination unanimous, is everywhere spoken of in terms of commendation. IT'S FUNNY now THEY DID IT, BUT THEY

DID.

Surprise is expressed that the West and South carried all the officers. For the two or threo hundred subordinate places there are at least a thousand applicants.

HOPE CRUSHED TO EARTH. Sorre of the defeated candidates complain that ertain members who pi umiooil lmm mippnrt, w#'" e'"'ly nl breach of faitb, having deserted them on the ballot. At least a dozen defeated candidates caino hither with high expectations.

A MARTYR FOR CHAPLAIN. Rev. J. L. Townsend, who has charge of the Episcopal church in Washingtoil, and who received tin majority of votes of the caucus for chaplain of the house, was nominated by HOB. A. H. Barnum, who stated that Townsend had been driven out of Connecticut by the Republicans of that State, for political views.

WHAT THEY ARE DOING TO-DAY.

The first business of to-morrow will consist ot calling the roll of members, by Wetherspoon, the present Clerk, aiid administration of the oath of office next, the election of Speaker, Clerk, Door-keepe/, Sergeant-at-arms, Post master, and Chaplain. Questions affecting the seats of some of the members may arise, and therefore the organization will be postponed by dpbate.

A FORMIDABLE DOCUMENT. Iu view of such an event, the President's message will not be transmitted to Congress until nearly noon. The document is longer than that «f last year by about five printed pages in document form, any contains upwards

telegraphed to the press of the country THE DEPARTMENTS. All the reports of heads of departments, with the exception of that of the Secretary of the Interior, have been sent hence to bo held for publication until the message be sent to Congress. The printing of the above named report has been delayed, but copies will be forwarded to-morrow. The contents of the message have been studiously concealed. There is much speculation with regard to the appointment ofastancing committee of the House, and already Represenative Randall is accorded by parties outside the Chairmanship of the Committee of Appropriations, Fernando Wood, Ways, and Means, and Cox, Foreign Affairs, but such caste is, ol course, without the least authority, and several weeks may elapse before the speaker himself shall announce tho committees.

HE SAYS HE HAS NOT RESIGNED.''* The report started yesterday contin ues in circulation, that the Secretary of the Treasury had tendered his resignatfon on the alleged ground of holding views different from the President on tho question of detailing a court of inquiry concerning the charg( made against General fiabcock,' by United States Attorney Henderson, at St. Louis, but tho Secretary himself is authority for the statement that there is no truth whatever in the report.

Frazier.

Believing that cleansing the tlood wai the only irue way of banishing disease and being troubled with a Scroiulous disease, known as Salt Klieum, and Weak ness of tlie Luugs, and linding no cure 1 commenced to experiment by compounding roots, using the medicine thus obtain cd. I fortunately discovered a most won derlul Blood Searcher, or Bitters, which not only gave me Instantaneous relief, bu after a few weeks' time, effected a perfect cure, I tnen prepared a quantity of Root Bitters, and was in the habit of giving them away to the sick. I found the medl cine possessed the most wonderful virtues, effecting cures of all diseases, originating from bad blood or weakness of the system, as If by magic. At last the demand became so great that I lound myeelf called upon to supply patients with medicin- in all parts of tne continent, and I was compelled to establish a Labratory for compounding and bottling the Root Bitters in large quantities. I was at first backward in presenting either myself or remedy to the publlo, not being a patent medicine man, and with limited capital, but 1 am getting bravely over that. Since I first advertised this wonderful medicine I have been crowde with orders from drngists and count) dealers, and the scores of let'ers I recelv from persons cured, prove the fact that remedy has ever'done so much good a had such a success as the Root Bitters.

Root Bitters are strictly a Medicinal Prep aration, such as w«s used in the good old days of our forefathers, wh«n people were cuied by some simple root or plant, and when calomel and other poisons of the mineral kingdom were unknown. For consumption, Asthma, Catarrh,Scrofula,

I warrant my Root Bitters a perfect cure for the ab ve and similar diseases, and in case of tailure. where the medicine has had a fair trial, will thank all to call or write and get back their money.
