Representative Mills, whose name became a household word through, its connection with the democratic tariff bill during the last Congress, has taken quarters in Washington for the season. He has entirely recovered his health, which came near breaking down from overwork last winter. Mr. Mills will not have a tariff bill during the Fifty first Congress, but he proposes to see that the republicans do not pass que with obnoxious features. All of the immense power wielded by the administration is to be brought to bear upon Congress this winter for the purpose of getting aid of the sur plus. Une of the hrs.t schemes to be pushed that of Government aid for several lines of steamships' which are to run to South and Central Americs ports, and which, in return for a liber al subsidy, are to realize Secretary Blaine s Utopian ideas regarding the commerce of those countries, This idea of Government subsidies to pri vate individuals or corporations, has always been antagonized by the dem ocratic party, and there is no reason fpr supposing that the democratic leaders will allow any such measure to j The sheriff of Blount county, Ala., is in hot pursuit of Rube Burrows, a notorious outlaw, who in .-company with another of the same ilk, is making for Tennesse.

The last meeting of the cabinet was very long and stormy. The President submitted a rough draft of his first message to Congress, and the members of his official family took turns in jumping on it with both feet. The thing has of course been kept very quiet, but such matters always get out in some way or other. Secretaries Blaine and Windom were the princi pal "kickers." Mr. Windom objected to the financial part of the message as outlined, and Mr. Blaine had decided objections to the stand taken of cer tain matters within the province of the State dep artment. The arguments were long and somewhat heated, and finally when it was agreed to submit the matter to a vote of the Cabinet, the President was defeated, the only votes he received being those of At torney General Wanamaker, and Sec retary Noble. The President then ex- picoocu it in n ill uiguena IU CliailgC T ile disputed matter, and peace reigned once more. But for how long? Washington Letter. (From our regular correspondent.) Washington, Oct. 28, 18S9. Secretary Noble seems to le able to get into more trouble than all the rest of the administration togeth er. The idea seems to be getting into peoples heads that he is a good deal like the man on the jury v. ho got mad because the other eleven obstinate fellows kept him away from bis wife all night. Auother idea that is making friends among the working republicans, is to bring about a state of things which will enable Mr. Noble to appreciate the feelings of a man who receives a kick from the Presidential boot. In plain words, amovenient has been started among republicans-, to drive Noble out of the Cabinet, and from certain things, I am inclined to believe that it will eventually succeed, but not without a desperate fight on the part of the Secretary. Here is an extract' from a letter, re ceived by Mr. Noble from a New York republican, who in resigning the of fice of Special Examiner of the pen sion office, used language that caused Mr. Noble to refuse to accept the resignation and to remove the writer: "I am free to say, personally you are a puppet, officially a sycophant. ven. I simply desire to sav that I will place my letter and all my rela tions with you before the Prudent If he sustains you, as I suppose he will, I snail be only conhrmed in the srener al conclusion that he has selected yon, and some other of your caliber, to mis represent the men who made it possi ble for Benjamin Harrison to insult the nation by putting you in a place which neither your services nor char acter could justify, and which your whole personality is proof positive that a violence to every sense of decency and propriety, was attended by your selec tion. Representative Joe Cannon has vir tually thrown up the sponge in the Speakersh p fight, by anouncing his intention of going home this week to remain until the middle of November. This action is surprising, in view of the fact that Mr. Cannon had been actively engaged in canvassing votes almost ever since Congress adjourned. I have never seen a man except Mr. Cannon himself, who thought that Cannon had the slightest chance of ever becoming Sneaker, and now this one man has lost hope. suc-jtuy circles are an torn up because the new Chinese minister has announced that he will take no part in the winter's entertainments. This is all the more disappointing because the former minister made the old "Stewart castle" a center for all that numerous class of diplomat worship ing Washingtonians, The new minis ter has his wte with' him, and as she is the first high caste Chinese woman efer to visit this country, he probably fears to turn her loose itf Wwhinatoia Deserted country homes have become a notable fact in the condition of Ver mont. The Scientific American pub lishes the report of a gentleman whose business called him into a portion of that State recently, where froni one. position he counted fifteen farms, with dwellings, barn, fences, &c, in pretty good condition, but all deserted by their owners, and left to grow up in bushes and briers. From another position near by, he was told that he could count fifteen more farms in the same abandoned condition. The people who formerly occupied these farms have mostly gone to swell the population of the towns and cities, while a few, per haps, have gone to the fresh lands r.f the West, with which they found it impossible to compete in agricultural products. But this process of depopulation of country homes is not limited to Ver mont and other New England States, but is noticeable in all the old btates of the union, Smith ns well as North; and it is a subject ot such importance as should concern the statesmen of the country; for there is nothing surer than that the strength of a country depends first and last on the and solidity of its yeomanry. strength We publish the wail uttered by the Republicans of Mississippi over the burial of their still-born Staie ticket. Eigh teen years ago it would Have been quite the thing for them to appeal to Wash ington for troops, but we beg leave to remind them that it was in the case of their own State of Mississippi that Presi dent Grant confessed the miiitaty sytem a failure and refused the last call that was made for soldiers.' The Mississippi republicans are several years behind the times. No AnjJo-Saxon community ever yet secured its political independence, none of those political rights that.we are wont to deem innate and inalienable were ever secured by men who appealed to some power a thousand miles away to come and make them a present of their rights. The Republican declaration is evidently a slander upon the State, a cre ation of politically diseased imagination, stimulated by a gulty conscience. But suppose that every word of that screed we e a word of truth and sobe.ness; it would even theu be empty and idle. Under our form of Governm. n ; under the political institutions which we brought over from England and have improved upon; under the system of self government, for which we have already fought more than once, and which exists to-day as the glorious result of a thous and years of struggle, the people of Mis sissippi must govern themselves. They must settle their own quarrels. If a ma jority ol the people of the State allow their political rights to be trampled upon, it only proves that they are not capable of self-government. If the republicans are telling the truth they are cowards, and free political institutions were never won nor even letained by cowards. It would be idle for the Federal Govern ment to interpose in their behalf. We have no idea, however, that the Missis sippi Republican wail means anything more than that Chalmers and ihe mem bers of the State committee want offices from President Harrison. National Democrat.
