Kars has been captured four times by the Russians, first In 1828, then in jg; J 4. again 1888 and now again In 1H77. The K 1 Paso troubles have broken out anew and some skirmishes took place between the United States troops and the Mexicans on Dec. 15 on tho Rio Grande. Last Saturday, a personal discussion took place in the Senate Chamber be tween Senators Conkling, from New Fork, and Gordon, of Georgia, which R was thought would lead to a duel, but it was settled to the satisfaction of all parties. Congress takes a recess of twenty nix days. Hut as most of the, work is done, by committees, and nothing of importance can he, done till tho com mittees are prepared to report, there wiH hot he much time lost, Tho report which the late Senator Morton made on the Chinese question has been mislaid and cannot he found. It is said that Morton took sides with the Chinese, and therefore those who tavop jWieir expulsion are not all anx ious tTfujt'.thcy should im found. Tho howl for the taxation of church property is again heard iu the land. A Unitarian convention, held in this Htatethe other day, appointed a com mittee, consisting of three clergymen, to petition the legislature, this winter to pass a law, making church proper ty taxable.

A negro named Walter Riley was hanged at DeKalh., Miss., on the llli inst., for the killing of .John W. Gnil v. last dpi mg. The death of Mr. Gully, it will he remembered, was laid at the door of Judge Chisholm.

Payne, of Ohio, a prom inent aspirant for thv seat iu the U.S. Senate, occupied by Stanley Matthews s credited with giving utterance to the following hit of common sense: "It is.my opinion that the consider ation of the tlnanees should he left to the ablest minds iu I he nut ion. The idea that everybody is competent, to tinker tho nuances of a great nation is simply preposterous. The very fact that the question is argued with such warmth and evident conviction of correctness upon both sides would show that it is dlllicuit. There should he no more experiments tried in this matter; it costs to much." The Popular Vote of 1877. In an editorial article under the above heading, the New York World sums up the result of the election held during tho present year, and says that the Democrats have every reason to roioiee over what they have accom plished, Klection, have been held in eighteen states and about three ami Ihrco quarter million voles east, or mere than cue halt the voting strength of tho union brought out. ‘The World thinks that this is a good showing for an o(T year.

Last week was the time fixed by the State otllcers elect, for meeting at the Capital and .selecting their assistants for the coining years. The number of patriots presenting themselves for fa vorable consideration was unusually large. It was also noticeable that a large proportion of the number was made up of Republican editors and publishers the State. We do not wonder at the fact. This has been an unusually hard season on radical ed itors. To be compelled to labor three hundred and sixty five days in the year to aid in keeping the leaders of a corrupt party in power, to he prepared to at all times give, a cheerful support to every measure proposed by the leaders of that party; to swear that the party which has already brought disgrace upon the nation, is the parry of purity and honor—to be compelled to do all this we say and to receive no reward for such service would be worse than cruelty itself. It is no wonder, then that Madison last week presented the appearance of a besieged city, and that the greater number of those who sought to capture the posi tionsat the disposal id' the elect, should largely consist of that class of patriots whose unselllsh labors had been given to the interests of the party. Nearly all the editors of this congressional district, (and (Jod knows there is us much lying done in this district as any where in the State)— nearly all were there to press their claims of excel lence iu their profession. There was dim Waggoner, of the Richland Coun ty Observer, who is as unassuming, truthful patriot as can he found, seek ing the position of Chief Clerk in the land olllee. And we are glad to know that after a careful canvass of his merits he was awarded the place. Then there was Hilly Remiettofthe I'nhune, who fought, hied, and almost died, for the sueeess of the radical ticket a year ago, who was given the grand bounce by llu/.elton; he too, was looking for a situation, not that lie cared for the situation or for the few paltry dollars which he would get for his services, but then it would he such a Joke on Keyes, and Hazel Lon. It is unneces sary to state that lleuuett passed mus ter, and timls himself enrolled in the noble arms of martyrs who are called upon to surrender up their peculiar talents, for the good of the State. Bon Ooates and Eli Perkins. Tlieru are not many old iesi denth ot thin Stn'e who <lo noi know, nr at least have not heard of lieu Coates, nt Hoscobel, Wis., who is one of the most noted practical jokers in that suction, always ready for a drive at a friend or neighbor, and who is popularly •opposed to sit up nights, to con coct schemes for the production of merriment at the expense of some one else. A short time since, Kli Perkins, the humorist, was adver tised to deliver his lecture at Hos cobel, and on the appointed eve ning the hall was tilled with a goodly audience, all in good hn mor, prepared to enjoy and laugh at the sayings of the genial Kli. The hour for beginning the lecture arrived, and still Mr. Perkins did not put m an appearance. After patiently wai'ing for some time the audience was rewarded by a sight ot the lecturer, who hustled in and spent some little time in arranging minor matters previous to getting to woik. There were the usual comments on his appear mice, etc., and Brother Coates' remarks were in a tone lon I enough to he heard by Mr Perkins, whose curioiily was excited, melon inqu iry he was told the mime of the gentleman, and Ins peculiarities. Kli came forward and ho .tan his remarks with an apology for his late arrival, stating that ho was de'ainud at Prairie du Chien,“und having missd the train," said E!i, *1 came all the way from Prairie du C'nion into Hoscobel on a hand car -let's see a distance of—of— ’’ and the lecturer sceme I to hesit ate, “a distance of— ’’ ‘‘Twenty eight miles!" in temp ted Hen. Coates, who sat in a front scat. “Wei’, if you knur more about this lecture than 1 do, Mr. Coa : cs, jllst—" Hut Eli never finished the sen tence. A howl of laughter went through the house, drowning the speaker’s voice. Ecu had been getting jokes off on people for thirty years, and to be sold out so nicely, completely broke him tip. It is said that he actually shed tears. The next day he was visited hy so many citizens of the place, singly and in squads, each inquiring the dis tance from Prairie du Chien to Hoscohel, that the question begin to lie monotonous, and he hung in his window a printed card con taining the desired information. This did not secure relief, and the next day he appeared as a, sort of peripatetic sign board, the card with the fact about the distance hanging about his neck. The end is not yet; and it is thought lie can only secure entire immunity hy the judicious distribution of several boxes of cigars.—State Journal. DELLER’S EMPORIUM. Holiday Goods.
