Justice of. the Peace ina “neighboring towuship+ was called upon to adjudicate meade: between:parties residing within his jurisdiction’ It appears that a man who had married a widow with a grown up danghter, ‘some time‘after . the celebration of the marriages tried to transfer his. affections to the daughter. His: importunities. were abandoned the“ paternal roof and took refuge in the house of one-of her neighbors. The irate father, as a model parent should, proceeded’ to the house of the aforesaid neighbor, and demanded areturm of the danghter. The neighbor, having heard the story of the girl, stood iu with her and declared she should -not return, The father then. and there, ‘with malice aforethought, dealt him divers and sundry blows, for which offense a warrant was issued out of. the honorable C ourt ‘of the Justice aforesaid, aid the culprit “was brought before him, whereupon the following course was pursued. It appearing thet the defendant had been arrested for assault and‘ battery, he was tried for rape and bound over to keep the peace. The proceedings may appear alittle irregular to outsiders, but the decision of the Justice has been considered good law in that section to this day, and it has had the effect to deter all evil-doers ever since. Necktie Social. We'have not heard anything about it, but presume the ladies of this city propose to give a necktie social on the evening of February 22nd. Every purchaser of a ticket Will be presented with-a-caleo necktie at the door, After he enters the hall-he will proceed to inspect the dresses of the ladies, and when he finds one that will match his necktie, he will, frem tbat time forth; regard her as his partner, Married ladies will by this means stand a chance of getting an agreeable and entertaining partner.

House of Representatives, in the fourth. wing, 1,800. The bronze door, leading into the main entrance to the Senate wing, is anothrer wonderful piece of condensed history. It is in two valves, one commemorating War and its conflicts; the other, Peace and its triumphs. Upon the panels of these valves are represented the battle of. Bunker Hill and the death of Warren; battle of Portsmouth and Gen. Lee; Hamilton in the seige of York-, town; death of a-Hessian soldier; *Peacd-in allegory : Ovation to WashPresident, and the laying of the eornér stone of the Capitol, This door wus Crawford’s last work. It weighs 14,000 pounds and cost $56,000, Above the door, are statues by the same. famous artist, of Justice and History, in. American marble. ‘The door and statues were executed: in America. Another of Crawford’s productions may be seen above the outer entrance door of the Senate wing, in which the history aiid condition of the United States are set forth in a single group, which I Sse but briefly describe: ‘‘America,” in the centre of the group, ‘holds some Htaurel wreaths towards each of her . ‘Citizens as have earned these honors, An eagle and the rising sun support her, typical of thestrength and youth of the nation. Progress and civilization are represented by a ‘soldier, the subduing of the forests and sayages, by a pioneer, hunter, and an Indian warrior, lamenting over the extinction of hisrace. This piece of statuary is one of the richest ornaments of the Capitol, and many consider it Crawford’s fine st work, ‘Of course, I have omitted tu men-. and. other decorations and ornamentations which may be seen at the. galleries, stair-cases and ante-rooms, which are none the less worthy of attention than many of whic T have tried to write, but there are many ‘places and objects in this vicinity which are extremely interesiing that I wish totell you of, and time and space would fail me did I attempt to particularize more fully. Tlie late snow storm, obstructing many trains asit has, has delayed the return of many absent Congressmen, and on this account active business hag hardly yetbeen taken up. Thursday and Friday, however, a quorum was obtained in both Houses and several bills, petitions, ete., were disposed of, such “as giving $8 per month to soldiers of the Mexican’, Black Hawk, and Florida wars, or to their. widows, etc. The Committees for counting the electoral vote have met severally many times, but not jointly as yet.

This is a fair estimate of the suppressed vote, including. also thove who were compelled to. vote for Ti: den against their will: Alabama, 35,000; Georgia, 75,000; Louisiana, 15,olina;. 18, 000; ‘Texas, 40 00) total, 253,000. This cuts away Tilden’sboasted popular majority entirely. _ With a perfeetly fair election he would have no majority, either upon the popular vote,” or in the Electoral. College. Mississippi, when all her legal voters have a-vote, is as emphatically Republican as Massachusetts. She was carried for Tilden, by suppressing tens of thousands of legal voters—leSt. Louis platform.’’ It is universally acknowledged that Mr. Redfield, who makes these remarks, is one of thie fairest and most candid and truthful writers who has.ever been down in the South,and Southern men have generally. indorsed his statements. We do not say that they applaud sach observations as we have cited, but we know that they cannot confute them, and that is quite “7 . cient for us. Under the circ stances, perhaps it would be as well if Northern Democrats refrained from laying too much stress upon the ‘‘popular majority’? which’ Mr. the shot-gun policy, and. perhaps alreflect upon._thereal.meaning—of their opponents’ brag and bluster, they will perceive that the situation is not exactly one for ‘‘compromise.’’ ‘ re Tuat Dramonp ~ Driru.— Had Squire P. Dewey read up Jim Rair’s history of the Consolidated Virginia Mine, as developed from month to month and year to year, in his official letters as Superintendent, he wouldn’t have been disconcerted, when, atthe recent tournament John Mackey boldly asserted that the diamond drill had never been used below the 1500-foot level. Writings are writings, and Jim Fuir’s letters on file show conclusively that the diamond drill had been used below that level, and consequently, ‘‘the largest individual stockbolder’’ in Consolidated Virginia was, to draw it mild, ‘mistaken.

The officers of the ~~ Club acted as body guard to the cargo as far as the depot, when’ it was placed in charge of the baggage Master of the Narrow Gauge. ‘he event was one long to be remembered. _ Cowhidinga Tart Man, Atthe conclusidn of the race at the Bay District track on Saturday, a diflivulty occurred. between Jim Koff, the turf-iman, and Henry Lyons, Which terminated ins vigorous cowhiding of the forther by the’ latter. Koff mounted a carriage in which Lyons was seated, and concluded a tirade of abuse by spitting inhis face. Lyons seized a whip and plied Eoff with it. so vigorously that he pranced about liké a two year old colt in a corral. Koff tbreatened Vengeance, but Lyons, fully satisfied, drove away.—S.

J ustice. Sometime since a. Justice of. the Peace ina “neighboring towuship+ was called upon to adjudicate meade: between:parties residing within his jurisdiction’ It appears that a man who had married a widow with a grown up danghter, ‘some time‘after . the celebration of the marriages tried to transfer his. affections to the daughter. His: importunities. were abandoned the“ paternal roof and took refuge in the house of one-of her neighbors. The irate father, as a model parent should, proceeded’ to the house of the aforesaid neighbor, and demanded areturm of the danghter. The neighbor, having heard the story of the girl, stood iu with her and declared she should -not return, The father then. and there, ‘with malice aforethought, dealt him divers and sundry blows, for which offense a warrant was issued out of. the honorable C ourt ‘of the Justice aforesaid, aid the culprit “was brought before him, whereupon the following course was pursued. It appearing thet the defendant had been arrested for assault and‘ battery, he was tried for rape and bound over to keep the peace. The proceedings may appear alittle irregular to outsiders, but the decision of the Justice has been considered good law in that section to this day, and it has had the effect to deter all evil-doers ever since. Necktie Social. We'have not heard anything about it, but presume the ladies of this city propose to give a necktie social on the evening of February 22nd. Every purchaser of a ticket Will be presented with-a-caleo necktie at the door, After he enters the hall-he will proceed to inspect the dresses of the ladies, and when he finds one that will match his necktie, he will, frem tbat time forth; regard her as his partner, Married ladies will by this means stand a chance of getting an agreeable and entertaining partner.

House of Representatives, in the fourth. wing, 1,800. The bronze door, leading into the main entrance to the Senate wing, is anothrer wonderful piece of condensed history. It is in two valves, one commemorating War and its conflicts; the other, Peace and its triumphs. Upon the panels of these valves are represented the battle of. Bunker Hill and the death of Warren; battle of Portsmouth and Gen. Lee; Hamilton in the seige of York-, town; death of a-Hessian soldier; *Peacd-in allegory : Ovation to WashPresident, and the laying of the eornér stone of the Capitol, This door wus Crawford’s last work. It weighs 14,000 pounds and cost $56,000, Above the door, are statues by the same. famous artist, of Justice and History, in. American marble. ‘The door and statues were executed: in America.. Another of Crawford’s productions may be seen above the outer entrance door of the Senate wing, in which the history aiid condition of the United States are set forth in a single group, which I Sse but briefly describe: ‘‘America,” in the centre of the group, ‘holds some Htaurel wreaths towards each of her . ‘Citizens as have earned these honors, An eagle and the rising sun support her, typical of thestrength and youth of the nation. Progress and civilization are represented by a ‘soldier, the subduing of the forests and sayages, by a pioneer, hunter, and an Indian warrior, lamenting over the extinction of hisrace. This piece of statuary is one of the richest ornaments of the Capitol, and many consider it Crawford’s fine st work, ‘Of course, I have omitted tu men-. and. other decorations and ornamentations which may be seen at the. galleries, stair-cases and ante-rooms,

which are none the less worthy of attention than many of whic T have tried to write, but there are many ‘places and objects in this vicinity which are extremely interesiing that I wish totell you of, and time and space would fail me did I attempt to particularize more fully. Tlie late snow storm, obstructing many trains asit has, has delayed the return of many absent Congressmen, and on this account active business hag hardly yetbeen taken up. Thursday and Friday, however, a quorum was obtained in both Houses and several bills, petitions, ete., were disposed of, such “as giving $8 per month to soldiers of the Mexican’, Black Hawk, and Florida wars, or to their. widows, etc. The Committees for counting the electoral vote have met severally many times, but not jointly as yet.

This is a fair estimate of the suppressed vote, including. also thove who were compelled to. vote for Ti: den against their will: Alabama, 35,000; Georgia, 75,000; Louisiana, 15,olina;. 18, 000; ‘Texas, 40 00) total, 253,000. This cuts away Tilden’sboasted popular majority entirely. _ With a perfeetly fair election he would have no majority, either upon the popular vote,” or in the Electoral. College. Mississippi, when all her legal voters have a-vote, is as emphatically Republican as Massachusetts. She was carried for Tilden, by suppressing tens of thousands of legal voters—leSt. Louis platform.’’ It is universally acknowledged that Mr. Redfield, who makes these remarks, is one of thie fairest and most candid and truthful writers who has.ever been down in the South,and Southern men have generally. indorsed his statements. We do not say that they applaud sach observations as we have cited, but we know that they cannot confute them, and that is quite “7 . cient for us. Under the circ stances, perhaps it would be as well if Northern Democrats refrained from laying too much stress upon the ‘‘popular majority’? which’ Mr. the shot-gun policy, and. perhaps alreflect upon._thereal.meaning—of their opponents’ brag and bluster, they will perceive that the situation is not exactly one for ‘‘compromise.’’ ‘ re Tuat Dramonp ~ Driru.— Had Squire P. Dewey read up Jim Rair’s history of the Consolidated Virginia Mine, as developed from month to month and year to year, in his official letters as Superintendent, he wouldn’t have been disconcerted, when, atthe recent tournament John Mackey boldly asserted that the diamond drill had never been used below the 1500-foot level. Writings are writings, and Jim Fuir’s letters on file show conclusively that the diamond drill had been used below that level, and consequently, ‘‘the largest individual stockbolder’’ in Consolidated Virginia was, to draw it mild, ‘mistaken.
