Roi est mort" politically, but the j4vive le Roi" is waiting, tor no one has been found who may assume the sceptre. Mr. Lamar is wise, exceedingly, but Mr. Lamar is no parliamentarian, and then his physieal.liealth utterly forbids the laying of another straw of burden upon the shoulders already too heavily laden.
Holman is wary aud full of expedients, but he is dreadfully unpopular, and could never control in any emergency, so the majority is very much atsea, and Mr. Blaine plays foot-ball with their plans in exasperating fashion. One thinks regretfully of the old man sick in Georgia, who might have measured a successful lease at any time with Mr. Blaine, from the sheer force of superior intellect. There would have been no such voice as Blaine possesses he would not have relied upon mere fashion of bullying his antagonist, but that bright, clear glance of his would pierce straight to the heart of any topic, and his sensible phrasing would quietly divest any disputed point of the bewildering technicalities which so often dismay inexperienced congressmen.

Washington March 29, 1S7G. Following the usual precedents vVbich selects an experienced "member" for the leader" of either party, th9 present majority in the House accorded to Mr. Kaudail that coveted position. Blaine, on the other side, is so strong and so adroit that only the keenest observation and the quickest comprehension could presume to eope with him. Mr. Ran* dall took his position very confidently, but the country can see for itself how miserably he has failed. Disaster, defeat, and dismay have •quite disgusted his followers. Little bits of mutinous conduct manifested themselves there were growlings of .discontent until last week his party openly opposed a pet point of their leader, and Mr. Randall was made to feel that his power was gone. His 'attainments are not those of a states•'irian, in any excuse, and his personal -initability makes bim appear very undignified when the exigencies of •debate arouse him. He cannot bear icontrttdictiou he is very sensitive to any allusion to his own previous blunders, growing white to hi3 very lipsi hi3 eyes flashing the anger he feels his voice shaking with passion, and his clinched fist shaking •worse tban his voice, be resembles joxactly a General who can lead his troops to assured victory.

newspapers of the day made from the occurrence a delicious bit of fun, rep resenting the infuriate Butlerchasing Blaine through the capltol, till being cornered in a committee room, the new Speaker lightly vaulted through the window, an exploit which Butler's shorter legH utterly forbid. It might be instructive now to obtain some clairvoyant knowledge concerning the promises of fat places which Blaine has made contingent upon his Presidential success. Certainly he is a wonderful man. Morton cherishes still a hope that by some hocus poena ho may control enough votes to give him a precedence, if not a presidency. He certainly will yield nothing to Mr. Blaine, and 6ome wise ones predict that should Blaine and Morton beat complete loggerheads, Mr. Fish would be a candidate, uniting all the Republican?. Just think of it! How America might lift her head ami exult, if, by any accident such a statesman might become her ruler.
We have had enough of politicians. Respectability would be a refreshing change, aud Mrs. Fish, with her wonderful suvrie faire would make real our visions of the days when high positions were held by men of high integrity, while their stately wives bore well the dignities belonging to their stations. No crowned queen was ever more royal in bearing than Mrs. Fish no meekest saint was more lovable or self forgetful no woman of the old "7GM more in tensely loyal to America more anxious to win for her the highest honor
IN THE HOUSE.
The gentlemau have at last awakened to a realizeing sense that w^rm weather is rapidly coming and that business is wofully behindhand so evening sessions are inaugurated. This is decidedly unpopular. Staying in that polluted air from twelve to five is bad enough, but to hurry home, bolt a dinner, scarcely have time to smoke a cigar aud then go back for four or five more hours, of wrangling, is deadful. The document room however is crowded with bills deinanniag attention.and something must be done Payne's long talked of currency bill met (entire de» feat when pressed to a passage and various other pet schemes will doubtless receive the same treatment. Gen. Garfield distinguished himself the other day by making a remarkable resume of the silver problem and putting its practical phases soglainly that no one could ignore them. Since I have no political prejudices and only judge prominent men by their personal characteristics. I find a great deal to admire in both parties, and Gen. Garfield is a man to ad» mire generally.
Another gentleman on the other isle is winning a geat deal of attention. Gen. Hooker of Mississippi is one of the finest orators in the House and demonstrating again the well proved proposition that Harvard graduates are apt to bring honor to their Alma Muater everywhere* His enunciation i? wonderfully pure and distinct he never wastes words and though one empty sleeve tells how he has suffered, he is exceedingly graceful in every gesture. Mr Hooker is sure of prominence hereafter, A notable Texan made his maiden speech the other day, but its power lost very much because it was read from manuscript, and Gov. Throckmorton is quite to much of a man^ for this. Then I remember his spirited speech made during the secession convention in Texas, I wish he would throw away all bis paper and talk outright. Did you not well know tbat he fought nobly against secesaiou aud when af« ter an earnest protest, the crowd hissed him, he drew himself to his full height and with scorching contempt ejaculated: "Well! when the rebels hiss, the patriot must preforce be silent."
Once more we greet Gov. Throckmorton under the old flag, glad to give him the mead of praise his whole character elicits from those who know him best.

Bruce said in 187S the Republicans carried Mississippi by twenty thQiisand majority, and last fall the Democrats claimed to carry the State by thirty thousand majority, a reputed gain of iifty thousand. The colored people represented tbirteen-tweniieths of the populuti in, and were mostly liepu blicau voters. Then why this change in tlie popular vote in Yazoo county? Thf Republicans carried the election in 1973 by a large majority, while last fall only s&ven votes were cast
the Republican ticket, and he
bad been assiued that some of those wera cast by Democrats in derision, !Key asserting that the Republicans ought to hato a little show. The evideuce will show tbat in many parts of the state
VIOLENCE AND INTIMIDATION were used, and what was known as the White League were instrumental in much of this class of outrages. A noticeable feature of the outrages aud violence was its application to colored citizens. No charge could be brought against the colored people for the misuse of their rights. The state debt was less than half a uiiliion dollars, and taxes were light: The statistics show that there has been no abuse of the privelege there. If they had mis» ued the power entrusted to them, there might be a cause" for the complaint. But even then the remedy lies in the ba lot, and not in the shot gun, not in fraud and violence. Tho colored people he said were opposed to the "color liue," but they must be protected and guaranteed in the enjoyment of all privileges and rights. They ask an investigation as will protect them in their rights aud enable them to pursue their avocations in a peaceful and quiet manner.
Key was glad the late war was fousjht out and over with. He was not wholly to blame in the war. Slavery existed map years ago and was protected by the constitution. .Hv»- spoke-'bisbly.of the colored people and their fidelity to the whites during the war, and the people of his State-were willing to pro* tect them and aid them. The«South was poor and weak and wanted peace. It was time to FOROET THAT THERE WAS A SOUTH OR
A NORTFH.
The war was over and the confederates had a rijrht to enjoy the results'ot their victory: He was willling to admit that the terms granted by the victors were much more
LIBERAL AND. MAGNANIMOUS than he'expected. He was anxious to have the south abquiesce in the result and accept the situation could not the nortn, he said, boar with them and help them to overcome their past difficulties and make this a land of peace and prosperity. lie should vote for the resolution even though ho should be the only member of bis party to do BO. If this state of affairs existed the parties ought to be punished, and he did not wish to have it said that he was in favor of protecting them, but he did not think the reports were true,yet he was willing to have the subject investigated. The speech throughout was highly conciliatory and dlspassion ate.
Christiancy reviewed the decision ol the Supreme Court of last Monday, and claimed that it did not admit of tbe construction placed npon it by the Senator from Delaware (Bayard.)
Merrlmon opposed the Mississippi resolution. He moved to amend the preamble as follows:
Whereas, It is alleged that tbeelec tion in Misnissippi, iu 1875, for the members of Congress and State officers and the members of the Legislature was characterized by great frauds, etc. He moved to strike oat the words "state officers aud members of the Legislature." He denied the power of the Senate to raise such a committee, and devoted his argument mainly to the constitutionality of such powers He claimed that the object of this proposed investigation was to manufacture political capital for the coming "November elections.
Prelinghuseu said that when the right of sufterage had been conferred upon an individual he ought to have that right guaranteed to him, and should be protected in the right. The Senator from North Carolina, he said had objected to that and said the Supreme Court had so decided, but he begged to differ from the Senator, that the question had never yet come before that tribnnal. He claimed that in this country of all others the voter should be protected in his right to vote, and Congress had the power to protect him and to pass this resolution and raise this committee for this purpose.
Bayard further opposed the appointment of the committee. Tbe subject was further discussed by Freliughuysen in lavor of the^ resolution. Thurman and Salesbury iu opposition. The question was taken on tbq resolution and offered by Christiancy an a substitute and it was adopted. Yeas 29 nays 19,

THE CLYMER COMMITTEE. Washington, March 31.—Mr. G\ S. Bell, of Jackson, Mississippi, testified this morning before the Clymer committee that he made an application for a post-tradt-rship at Fort Davis, Texas, and that he came here iu June, 1S72, to see lielknap about it. He had a number of recommenda* tions from army officers, but^ Secretary Belknap told him that if he had known he bad come to make such an application, he (Belknap) would not have seeu him. The witness replied that it would take him very little time to get out of his office,_and be then went out. This bursque treatment made him angry, but as he got to the west front of the building, a young man came running after bim and requested him to come back.
When bo returned, Belknap said apologetically tbat he was very greatly annoyed over the inauy applications for post-traderships. Belknap then turned to him bursquely and asked, "How much is tbat position worth He replied that he did not kuow. "Is it worth $2,000?" he asked. He replied he supposed it wa9 worth that. "Would you be billing to pay that?" "I would be willing to pay anything," be responded, and then he left.
Bell-stated that he did not believe the secretary meant to make him an offer of the post for 2,000, but thought the secretary attempted to entrap him into offering a biibe, so that he might have some reasou to decline to appoint bim.
I have also been acting as special agent for the internal revenue department.
The witness produced his appoint ment as a first-class clerk in the pension office. He explained tbat there was no such office is special agent under the interior department. The meu acting as such being clerks detailedfor that duty.
On cross-eViimihation by Danford, witness stated the reason that he did not go to the President and tell him that Secretary Belknap had proposed to him to pay for a post tradership,' was that the secretiary of war weigh* ed somewhat more" than he did, and' he not think it would do to attack, bim.
I was employed by Mr. Luck'ey, the private secreiary of the President

RAILROAD MEETING.
The Coal Dealers in CoanciL Quite a large and enthusiastic meeting was heldf last evening at Taraer Hall, Brazil, to hear Mr. Lee, President of a narrow guage railroad from Montezuma to Indianapolis. The gentleman gave quite a leughty speech, relating large" experience in building railroads, bis conversion to the narrow guage road bed, the advantages to be gained in adopting them for freighting coal, and other busiuess, and- recommending immediate aciion in the part of tbe coal dealers of Clay county, to construct a narrow guage and broad image combined, to connect with his road at Hainbridge. By doing this they would have au outlet on the narrow fiiiago to Indianapolis, and by a broad jjuajjo to Michigan City, where coal barges would receive it, and by water )iiununicution distribute it into the harbor ol Chicago, Milwaukee and other cities l^iog upon Lake Michigan, a wide and largely increasing market was opening for the block coal ol Clay county, and it was only needed to havw a reasonablly cheap transportation to very largely increase and benefit the coal interest.
He argued that coal could and should bo freighted by the ton at about one cent per mile. This would make the cost ol eoal in transportation to Indianapolis 00 cents per ton to Michigan. Cit.v aud Cbicrgo, #1 ?5 10 St. Louis, $1 65, and to Terre Jiaute not over 26 or 30 cents.
This reform or reduction in the transportation of coal would go very far toward relieving the now terribly depressed condition of the coal interest in Clay county, and make the whole business more equitably just between tbe miner, tho proprietor and the rail roads. As it now is, the high rates of freight, the competing coal business of Ohio, with their cheaper facilities of transportation,compels the coal dealers of Clay county to reduce the price of mining and th» price of coal on the car?, below a remunerating compensation.
A subscription of abut §2-5,000 was obtained, and it was thought it would be increased to §50,000. the amount requisite to authorize an organization ot a railroad oompany.

Yesterday the arguement in the case of Cronin one of the laborers on the Cincinnati railway was concluded, the defense having put in, and demurerr to the evidence.

He sus~ tained the demurrer because 1, There was no proof mads of the Cincinnati 4c Terre Haute Railway Co., as a corporation,

Previous to the adjonrment of the Circuit Court, the convicted murdeaer Harry Johnsou, was brought into court to receive tho extreme sentence, of the law. The court room, and even the doerways and windows were packed and thronged to the utmost capacity. Tho unfortunate man dvidently suffered great mental distress, and looked like one abandoned alike by friends and hope. A motion for a new Irial was made aud argued at consider* able lengtn by Captain Hunt for *the defense, and Hon. R. N. Bishop for the proseution but was overruled by Judge Davis as was also an order for arrest of judgment.
Upon standing up to receive sentence, the judge asked the prisoner if be had any thing to say why sentence of death should not be pronounced upon him?
Johnson replied that it was an accident, that he never thought of the pistol going off.
Judge Davis told the unfortunate man that the jury had returned a verdict of deliberate murder, although tho prisoner had been ably and skillfully defended, and that their judg-
1
ment was final. He then sentenced Johnson to be hanged on Friday, una
Tne prisoner was then led to jail, and the crowd dispersed. Johnson,s counsel may make a motion for a writ of supersedes from the Supreme court, but it will prove unavailing. The wretched man's doom is sealed.
