during the recess the Republican
members of tbe House tooK counsel
with their constituents, and returned
prepared to speedily pass the finan
cial bill that w as adopted by tbe Sen
ate, or some measure similar to it.
It ie not to be expected, that this bill
will satisfy all the honorable gcutle
rnca who have been making the mys
teries of finance a study, but it is
certain that the adoption of almost
any bill looking to (bo adjustment ol
tbe vexed question, will give satisfac
tion, and immeasurably benefit the
depressed business interests cf the
country. It is the constant doubt of
the future, the dread cf some un

the restoration of financial confi

The Democratic State officers of

the vote tf a Ilepuhlican county ou
urcmtit of iLfrniaJitv. ibc Demo
cratic Stat.- officers of Wisconsin did
the same thing by excluding the votes
of two Republican townships, for in
formality. And thus having carried
two of their men iuto Congress, the
Democrats now want to go to war
because the Returni tg Board of
Louisiana has followed the Demo
cratic esarople ! Circumstances alter
cases. Jt was all right, so long as it
worked in favor of the Democrats ;
but when it works against them, it is
all wrong.
Tut Democratic journals if the
country w ith their ' Independent" al
lies, are in a great funk over the Sen
ate finance bill. They sec untold
evils in it, and are nearly all denounc
iag ii most vigorously. The fact of
this uuited hostility to the bill by
Democrats of all shades of opinion
on the question of inflation, contrac
tion, and return to specie basis, woul I
be most remarkable, if it did not
clearly indicate the fear that possess
es their souls, that the passage of this
bill by the House brings, Vuh it re
stored union and harmony to the Re
publican ranks, and deprives them of
their hoped for chance of passing a
measure next winter, on which they
can go to the country ia the .next
Presidential canvas, and claim the
credit of restoring its financial pros
pciity. It is not claimed that ibis is
the best biil that can be devised, but
its passage would do much towards
restoring public confidence, and if Re
publican members cannot be influ
enced by any higher motives, the
tact that its success as a political
measure is feared by the entire Dem
ocracy, should induce them to sup
port it. Like their opponents, let
them look to the coming Presidential
campaign, and remember that after
the fourth of March their opportunity
is lost.
Hon. S. S. Wolfe, Democratic
member elt'ct to the Legislature from
Centre county, died at Lis house on
Friday last, the 1st inst. This with
the death of Bartdorf, of Berks, and
Hunter, of Armstrong, reduces the
Democratic majority on joint ballot
to six. Two or three of the meui
liers are sick at home, and great un
happincss prevails among tbe Dem
ocracy, for fear they cannot be pres
ent on the 20tb when the election for
IT. S. Senator takes place. We do
not wonder that tbe Democratic as
pirants weaken at the knees, when
tbey think that the absence of a
couple of votes may destroy all their
brilliant Lopes.
The Louisiana Legislature assem
bled in New Orleans on yesterday,
(4th). The Democrats organized
the House, by admitting the members
of their party declared not elected
by the returning board. Governor
Kellogg, holding that tbe body so
constituted was illegal, requested the
V. S. military forces to eject the
members not duly elected. This
was done by a mere show of force,
no resistance, except by protest, being
offered. The Democrats then with
drew in a body. In tbe Senate the
Democrats did not put in an appearr

the Republicans. Sheridan has as-

Dix entered the Asembly Chamber
escorting Mr. Tilden, followed by tbe
iutter's staff. Governor Dix address
ed a few appropriate remarks to Mr.
Tilden, to which the latter replied in
a feeling manner.
Mr. Willers, Secretary of State,
the., administered the oath of office to
Governor Tilden. The same oalh
was also administered to Lieutenant

Two Oallawo Hilled.
Kansas Citv, December 80, Two
notorious horse thieves, Tom Cox
and Geo. Alexander, who murdered
a gentleman named White at Spring,
field last October, were killed yesier-
day near Okamuliri, Iod an Territo-
ry, by Detective York, of Springfield.
Another notorious outlaw named
Kinch Wpst was mortally wounded.
One or two inferences may be
made frm the assumed fact that the
Pacific Mail Company spent $275,000
in buvinr Democratic members of
the Forty-second Congress, and $150,
000 in buying Republican members.
First, it seems to be established that
the averaso Democratic vote can be
bought cheaper than the average Re
publican vote; and the proof of this
deduction is that the greater part of
Irwin's corruption fund went to tre
Democratic side of tbe Uous
through Mr. J. G. Shoemaker. Of
course, it was Irwin's policy to buy
ud all tbe cheap members. Most of
these, tbe recent developments show,
were Democrats. A second infer
ence u tnai tne i-orty-ioortn con
gress, to wh'ch a Democratic majori
ty has been elected, will be disti:-
guisbed above all its predecessors for
corruption, unless the people ai.d tbe
press, by unceasing watchfulness.pre-
vent Ibc adoption of new subside
schemes. We have no evidence
whatever that tbe Democratic mem
bers elect are one whit better, either
as regards intelligence or probity,
ban the Democrats of the torty-sec-
ond and Forty-third Congresses. It
will be tbe duty of all good citizens
to watch tbe course 01 the new Con
gress with eternal viligance ; for that
is now the price of pure government.
It will also be the duty of tbe Kepub
lican party to nominate for office in
1876 men who are not only spotless
n reputation, but who are like Ca:-
sar s wile, oove suspicion. 10 u
suspected of dishonor should be here
after a bar to the elevation of any
man at tbe bands of the Republican
party. Only by the rigid pursuance
of this policy will there be a chance
to redeem the country irom me con
trol of corrupt and ignorant parti-
zans. Altnougn tne coance win uoi
be offered until 187G, tbe time to be.
L'in preparation is now: sou iueic

should be no relaxation of effort to
wards the result until it is declared.

Eseeatloa f Jna Uaeamaa at Otr-
Toledo, December 30. John
Goodman was executed at Ottawa,
Putnam county, at noon to-day, for
the murder of tbe Haywood family
in April la6t. At five minutes of
twelve, the spectators arranged them
selves within the enclosure, and the
prisoner was brought in, supported
by Simon Maplesan old citizen of
this county, on one side, and Sheriff
Sberrard on the other. Ue was very
pale, but Beemed tolerably composed.
Tbe three ascended the scaffold to
gether. The clergyman then briefly
exhorted Goodman to look to Christ
for mercy, and, kneeling with him on
tbe scaffold, offered a brief prayer.
The Sheriff then read the dsath war
rant, adjusted tbe noose, and pinioned
tbe arms and legs of tbe prisoner,
and asked him if be bad anything to
say. Goodman said ; "Gentlemen,
thisisall justly done. I committed tbe
crime and deserve to suffer for it. I
bid you all good-bye, and hope to
meet you in heaven." Tbe Sheriff
shook him by the hand and bade him
good-bye. JLt two minutes pus;
twelve tbe drop fell. There was not
a visible straggle. After hanging
nine minutes tbe pulse was soft at
tbirty-Gve to the minute ; at ten min
utes tbe pulse rapidly began to grow
feeble, and at fourteen minutes there
was no pulse at tbe wrist ; at nine
teen minutes tbe movement of tbe
heart :eased. Dcatb was probably
instantaneous and painless, bis neck
being broken in tbe fall. The body
was laid in a coffin and placed in tbe
jail yard, surrounded by a guard, af
ter which tbe enure crowd passed
through in lines to see tbe face of tbe
deceased. Tbe remains will be taken
charge of by tbe parents of tbe de

Niw Oeleanh, December 26. In
a fight between Dan. C. Byerly, man
ager of tbe Bulletin, and ex-Governor
Warmouth to-day on Canal street,
Byerly knocked Warmouth down
with a stick and jumped ou him,
when Warmouth drawing bis knife
stabbed Byerly several times in the
abdomen. Warmouth was arresteu,
and Byerly died at .twenty minutes
past ten o'clock to-nigbt.
The difficulty between Byerly and
Warmouth grew out of a controversey
between Warmouth and tbe JiulleUn,
which led to tbe publication on Fri
day by Warmouth of a card address
. - - .e.u r..i;,v..
eu to toe manager 01 iuc uuitrioi,
reflecting upon that matter and Mr.
Jewell, one of its editors.
Warmouth t -djy m -de h follow
ng statement r.uout tbe difficulty to
the agent of the Associated -Press:
"Yesterday, alter my card appeared
in tbo Picayune, I was called upon
by friend of Jewell who demanded of
mo an abject apology for the card,
which I declined to make, whereupon
be asked me is I would accept
challenge to fight a duel, remarking
at the same time that it was general
ly understood I would not fight,
replied that I would not fight if
could well avoid it; that it would be
time enough to answer tbe question
about duelling when I was challeng
f A Later in the day the aflair was
confided to our respective lriends
Tbey met at 8 o clock last evening
and agreed tha Jewell and- myself
should fight in Alabam on Monday
morning, the weapons to be duelling
pistols and distance ten paces.
"These terms having been accept
ed. 1 did not 01 course apprehend an
attack, especially from any one con
nected with tbe liuUetin. My un
derstandinr of such matters is, that
antagonists pending a meeting should
be courteous, and 1 was just on the
eve of tipping my hat to Mr. Byerly
in front of whom two ladies were
walking, the street being crowded
when be struck me with a heavy
stick on tbe head, inflicting tbe wound
you see (and the Governor taking off
bis bat exhibited a cut almut two
inches long over the left temple,
ex
tending from the forehead).
He struck me three times with
tne stick. 1 clinched witb nun, in
tbe meantime taking the knife out o
my pocket, with my arms around his
shoulders; I get my hands together
and opened the knife; just then I felt
Bverly falling on me. Soon after we
fell a policeman took the knifo out of
my hands and some of tbe crowd
pulled Byerly off. I understood
Byerly bus been cut and I am ac
cused of doing the cutting."
Warmouth was arrested immediate
ly after the fight and conveyed to the
I bird Precinct Station, lie has
since been transferred to tbo parish
prison to await the results of
Byerly's wounds. Byerly received
six wounds in the nbdonien, one of
which his physicians consider very
dangerous, but not necessarily mortal.
Shortly after being wounded Byerly
was removed to tbe Orleans Iuhrnta
ry, on Daupbine street.
TUZ OTHER STOUT.
New Orleans, December 26.
The Bulletin to-morrow will publish
a statement of an eye-witness to the
Byerly-W armoutb affair. The state
ment differs somewhat from that of
Warmouth as to tbe cutting. This
witness says tbe kni'e was open when
drawn, and that two or three stabs
were-made before they fell. Byerly's
