Special Dispatch to the Baltimore Sun. .THEWSOUTH CAROLINA CONTEST.. , Washington, Jan. 6. Senator Sha ron, of Navada, arrived hero to-night, his first appearance in Washington for nearly two years. He will be on hand in the Senate chamber to-morrow. It is understood that the purpose of the Republican Senators is now, at the first auspicious opportunity, to re-open the Butler-Corbin case. The report of the majority of the committee on privileges and elections, declaring Corbin entitled to the seat, has been ready tor some time, and action will be called for on it. When Mr. Butler was admitted as Sen ator from South Carolina, with Sena tors Conover and Patterson both vot ing for him, he had but ono majority. If the case is brought up now, Mr. Sha ron's vote against Mr. Butler will make it a tie, and the casting vote of Vice President Wheeler will give the seat to Mr. Corbin. This is the Republican calculation, but it is possible that the calculation may be at fault On the oc casion of Mr. Butler's admission to the Senate, Jndge Davis, of Illinois, did not vote at all, tor the reason that he had doubts as to the legality of Mr. Butler's election, although some of the friends of the latter asserted that Judge Davis' vote in his favor, would be forthcom ing if necessary. If this statement was correct, perhaps the vote of Judge Da vis can be counted on by Mr. Butler at this time, which would still give him one majority. It is true that there were quite a number of Democratic Senators who entertained the same doubts as judge Davis, and who thought the South Carolina Legislature ought to go into a new election for Senator, but as they walked manfully up to the scratch then, they will do so a second time. This doubt as to the legality of Mr. Butler's election was shared also by members of the South Carolina Legislature. In Co lumbia in April, 1877, after President Hayes had recognized the Hamoton government, members of the Legisla ture were then debating the propriety of having a new election for Senator, and it was said that one of the main causes which dissuaded them was a distinct intimation from Gov. Hampton that he would give the certificate of election to Mr. Butler, and to no one else. However, Mr. Butler is in the seat, and the probability is that lie will stay there if Patterson and Conover both stick. JThei casting vote of the Vice-President would, it is extremely probable, be disregarded by the Senate after it becomes Democratic on the fourth of Mareh,- as the ground wsis taken that the Vice-President's consti tutional prerogative gave him no right to vote on the question of the admis sion of , a Senator. Mr. Eaton cave formal notice' that on the 4th of March. 1879, he would move to declare any seat vacant tne occupant or. which had been admitted by the vote ot the Vice-Presi dent The only hope, therefore, it would seem, that the Republicans can entertain of getting Corbin in is to seduce either Conover or Patterson from the Butler side. If they can do this the victory will-be theirs. J There are rumors that Mr. Conover is dissatis fied and mad with the Democrats be cause they would not let him come to the House of Representatives from Florida, but as his support of Butler has always been understood to be. due sdely to personal reasons, this may make no difference. As to Mr. Patter son's course, there are curious stories afloat in Democratic circles to-night to t ie effect that Patterson, at the time Butler i was admitted, would have succumbed to the pressure and the obloquy heaped upon him. and deserted Butler had he not been held up by the hand of Ion Cameron ; that " Don Cameron, on account of personal friendship and other reasons, wanted Butler admitted, but of course, for reasons of policy, could not give his own vote to him. Strange as this may seem, it is believed to be true, and it is really not so wonderful as many things which constantly occur here. Curat to Death. I Chatham Record. The dead body of an old negro, named Isaac Poe, was found, last Friday, in the woods, between Haywood and Moore's Mills, on Haw river, with the legs half eaten by hogs, and the cloth ing nearly all burnt. Isaac was an odd character, having lived the life of a hermit for many years past. He came into, that neighborhood several years ago, and until recently, lived all alone under an old open shelter that he erect ed in the woods, and ate nothing but corn bread, which he would get by working with the neighbors every now and then. The only clothing tliat he wore, was old rags that he could pick up and patch together, and his furni ture consisted of a bread tray, a jug, and; an. old oven. He had no bed clothes,' or wrappings whatever, and would sleep at night sitting over a fire. His companions were two hogs, who were much petted by him, and followed him in liis ramblings. He was an inof fensive creature, and the neighbors fre quently tried to persuade him to give up ms eccentric , moae oi living, Dut ne j seemed, quite content and satisneu therewith. In August last he left: his old shelter, and lived altogether in the open woods, with jio covering whatev er, still accompanied by his pet hogs. Last Friday one of the neighbors found his body in the woods near his camp fire, with all the clothing burnt off ex cept the collar of his shirt, and the quarter of an old shoe, which was still on his foot The flesh was eaten from his legs by his pet hogs, and his bodv otherwise mangled bv them. It Iff sun- posed that theokl man while j sleeping in a sitting posture over the fire (as was his habit) tell into it. and was burnt to death, and his hoes dratrced the bodv a few feet down the hill, where it was found.,, He had been seen alive only two days oeiore, so mat ne died proba bly Thursday night. The jury of in quest returned a verdict that he was burnt to death. Coinage of Silver Dollars. The books for December show two millions and sixty-seven thou; silver dollars were coined durin month, or but a trine over tne mini mum.

I am guided, as far as a more human being can taiow Jiim-. self, by honest impersonal motives; but he :who would "shoot folly as it flies, and boldly hunt down abuse and expose wrong-doing, must not expect, nor wish, everyone to be kindly disposed toward him. If he does, he is himself a fool, and will be wof ully disappointed. Speak ing of the Wheeler and Wilson band, Bridgeport, Conn., Piano says: "One way of accounting for this falling off in the public estimation, is the fact that their leader is a Jew. There is a pre judice against that race in the public mind, which cannot be easily over come." This wholesale denunciation of a great people mortifies me, the more especially since he assnmes to speak for me as well as himself, I being a unit in the aggregate "public mind. The an tagonisms between peoples and races exists only among the lower classes if we leave out austere, rancorous, sectarian-bigots; and the lower-osder-of Jews wll, certainly, compare ; very, tar vorably with the same class of Irish; German, English, Italian or "American roughs." Indeed, the Jews have none so low as such. Who ever heard of a Jew who could live only by loafing, stealing, or brainless labor; or who kept a low doggery or den oi prostitution r The great men of any people are those whose transcendant abilities give tone, dignity and character to their nation, and the Jews show, at least, a run pio portion of such as compared with any people, i ne repuDiic or leures (uue in tellects hierhlv cultured) is cosmopolitan caring nothing for geographical or other distinctive lines, i nave naa v. . . i 1 musical business relations with those of all nationalities, and have had my con fidence betrayed in cases among all but the Jewish. So has my wife as a piano teacher. Again, generally speaking, an inferior musician stands no chance with a Jewish musical leader or director, merely because he is a Jew. The same cannot be said of any other nationality, save, perhaps, American. Jews are seldom or never inferior in what they live by ; and he who has a Jewish com petitor in music must needs be compe tent, energetic and politic, and should he be distanced in the race, the despica ble dodge of attempting to revive that dead, rotten shame of a past barbarism, "prejudice of the public mind." will re dound to his own discomfiture. Instead of 'the mythical "Sliylock" let him rather crv "Mendelsshon.

In the days of the crusade?, of Peter the Hermit, and "licentiousness most foul," to speak of Jews as "Judas Iscariots and outcasts" witi in order, but not in these liberal, enlightened times, especially in this great republic. But anyway, Judas Is cariot was a gwnl man as compared wit h the mass of his maligners; yet, even if he was as bad as our official rascals of to-day, he was only one in twelve. Would that we had as small a propor tion in any vocation now. But let us see in what his atrociousness consisted : he had only one besetting sin, an inordi nate love of money ; ("let him without this sin among you cast the first stone at him.") The reward of thirty pieces of silver he thought he could make with i impunity to his master, feeling satisfied mat it delivered into their hands, his enemies could not hold him ; but when le saw that Christ was "sure enough in- the toils, and could not extricate him self, Judas, wild with grief, ran and be sought his release and offered the mone'v back ; failing in tins he went and hanged himself. .Nobody told him to dd. so; he was not even round out, but his sin was more than he could bear, (good man.) wish we had as much integrity and effectual contrition for malfeasance in office among the many malefactors among our highest public men of to day. Compared with them, Judas was gentleman, a saint. If our many naughty B's and many others would even respect "public opinion" enough to commit "hari kari" after detection bv aw, even we could at least pity rather than execrate the wretches. Judas rid society of his presence, thus presenting a laudable example and obvious, evi dence of Ms innate abhorrence1 of erime -and spirit of treachery.

MB. TLMAGE OJT WASHKGTOS. He Finds Something to Comment. Kev. De Witt Talmage began his se ries of "National sermons" in his Brook lyn tabernacle, Sunday morning last, with " Washington, the City of Political Power." lie predicted that the nation al capital would be moved to St. Louis when people should come to realize that the hub of a wheel should be at the cel.-. tre instead of near the tire. He paid a high compliment to the architecture and art pf Washington, which, compar ed, he thought, with the best cities and artists of Europe. The morals of Wash ington, he said, were fifty per cent, bete ter when Congress is away than when it is jn session. Washington had its dens Of infamy and. needed more police, but there had been great improvements since, through Henry Wilson's- influ ence, the drinking establishments under the capitol had been removed.1 There are still gambling-houses in Washing ton, but things were improved. There was no more dueling ; no more clubbing of Senators on the floor of Congress. There were now more Christian men at the heads of departments than ever be fore, and also less drinking in the White House. By the abolition of wine and alcoholic eniritaf 'from her table Mrs. Hayes had shown that people could be. a jolly set sober Blasphemers, atheists. gamblers and libertines tehould not be sent to Congress, Mr. Talmage said he h ad-tearea-f rom his researches ia Washington that woWlgreataess was a very transfttfrjrniitt satifaetory thing.

Hyde Park, Mass., Feb. 15, 1876. Mr. H. R. Stevens: Dear Sir About ten years ago my health failed through the depleting effects of dyspepsia; nearly a year later I was attacked by typhoid-fever In Its worst form. It settled in my back, and took the form of a large deep-seated abscess, which was fifteen months In gathering. I had two surgical operations by the best skill In the State, but receiv ed no permanent cure. I suffered great pain at times, and was constantly weakened by a profuse discharge. I also lost small pieces of bone at dif ferent times. Matters ran on thus about seven years, till May, 1874. when a friend recommended me to eo to your office, and talk with you of the virtue of Vege tlne. I did so, and by your kindness passed through your manufactory, noting the Ingredients, dec, by which your remedy Is produced. By what I saw and heard I gained some confi dence in Vegetlne. I commenced taking It soon after, but felt worse from Its effects; still I persevered, and soon felt it was benefitting me In ether respects Yet I did not see the results I desired till I had taken It faithful ly for little more than a year, when the difficulty hi the back was cured; and for nine months I have enjoyed the best of health. I have In that time eained twentr-flve nounds of flesh, being heavier than ever before In my life, and I was never more able to perform labor than now. During the past few weeks I had a scrofulous swelling as large as my fist gather on another part of my body. I took Vegetlne faithfully, and It removed It level with the surface In a month. I think I should have been cured of my main trouble sooner If I hi d tak en larger doses, after having become accustomed to its effects. Let your patrons troubled with scrofula or kidney disease understand that it takes time to cure chronic diseases; and, if they will patiently take Vegetlne, It will, In my Judgement, cure them.
