An opportunity was presented aud young Carlisle beau the studroflawin Covington. At the end of two years ho was admitted to the bar, in 1858, and so rapid was his rise in tbe pro fessiuu and so great his popularity with the public, that bo was elected a member of Hie Lower House of the Kentucky legislature in 1864, a State Senator in 1866, and again iu 1669, a lieutenant governor in lSIl,vrv lug until September, 1875. Mr. Carlisle was then relieved from the lieutenant governorship br his election to the Forty-fifth and Forty-sixth Congresses. He was returned tj tlie Forty seventh Con Kress, in which he became a conspicuous figure, aud now be is Speaker of the Forty eighth. Personally, Mr. Carlielo isqulto dignified, yot very courteous in manner, and im piesses one with the opinion that bo is a character ot more than ordinary ability, by nature and tact a brilliant leader am! con scientious politician.

Wauixotom, Dec. 11.-Once more the House of Representatives of tbe United States has passed iuto the bands of a Democratio majority. But the fact that the Senate is still at variance politically with the lower House will make it ex tremely difficult nnd improbable that any partisan legislation will bo attempt ed during this session. Uudir tbo new apportionment tbe House consists of 325 members, of whom 101 are Democrats in good stauding. Tho Republican roll foots up ouly 118, with 13 members "on tbe fence." Tbe Democrats therefore have an inflexible majority ofTGauiciu generally fiaure on one-half the vote of tbe 13 independ ents, un everything outside of a uuani. mous consent or two-thirds legislation, the Democrats will not be hampered by a majority (as when lust in power), which was generally less than a quorum. An analysis of the Democratic mem. bership reveals tbat the majority repre benta the West and South, aud parly measures will therefore likely reflect the prevailing views of these seciious.

That canard is manufactured probably on tb fact that I similarly advocated Mr. lierrs election and was br bim nppoin ed chairman of that committee.

As a proof of the fact that tbey are strangers, it may be mentioned mat last BJiurciny evening three men ut tacked "Blaok Jaok," one of tbo best known gamblers aud "orookod men" in the city. He was standing at the roiter or liowery and Grand street about 8 o - clock when three men approached him It must be remembered that the Bowery at mat lime, and particularly on fcjalur day evenings swarms with People, and every half block one meets with a police. man.
