Ciscissati, November 15. It is stated
that many of the millers have already lost
heavily oo contracts made, when wheat
was less than one dollar per bushel, and
they see no profit in the immediate future.
Bat little flour has been shipped from
here for the last three weeks, and large
amounts are in store, more than enough
to supply all the demand for some lime.
Toe millers are satisfied that there must
be a decline in wheat pretty soon. At
all events they will not purchase ontil the
price falls, or there is a margin on flour. ,
Kentucky Regulators. ;
C'inoihnatt, November 15. A -special
to the Enquirer states that Lewis Scoggs
has been convicted of the murder of Wad
dell, in Elliott county, Kentucky, and
sentenced to eight years' imprisonment.
Judge Rider refused a new hearing .and
the case is to be appealed. ,Tbe prisoner
was removed from the county jail for fear
that the regulators would shorten the sen
tence. The regulators c in . northeastern
Kentucky have issued a proclamation,
fashioned after the declaration of inde
pendence. It recites that in view of the
reign of assassination, robbery and rapine,
which has lasted in that region for four
years, they have had to band together to
protect themselves and the property of
honorable people. They deny- that they
tre a mob. but assert that they are an or
ganized and disciplined set of men who
mean business. They assure good ci'izens
that they have nothing to fear,' and warn
ail barn burnt ra and murderers to leave
thecountr, and threaten them with lynch
law where the State law fails in its duty.
Investigating: the Champion Disaster.
Philadelphia, November 15. At the
close of the testimony in the Champion
disaster inquiry, the following letter was
read : "
November 13.
Eilmard K. Sharswood, Esq., Secretary :
Dbak Sik : We have to acknowledge
the receipt of your favor of the 12th
'instant, relating to the investigation now
THMuJin before the British Naval Court, at
Vbiladelpbia, to inquire ints the particu
lars of the collision between the steamer
Champion and the ship Lidy Octavia. and
your courteous iovi'atioo to have Capt.
Lock wood attend. In reply, we beg to
Sir. that Clant. Lnckwood ia now await
ing the United States local inspectors, to I
whom he has already submitted his report,
aod before whom he daily expects to be
wiled. If, therefore, he and the other
parties interested in the lost vessel should
desire to avail themselves of the opportu
nity your polite invitation offers, they
could not, in any event, appear at an early
day.
. Respectfully, yours,
George W. Qcintaed,
For New York and Charleston, S. C.
The court then adjourned until Monday,
the Secretary, Mr. Sharswood, being in
structed to see when the captain of the
Champion would attend. It is understood
that there is no way to compel them to
attend, as they are amenable to the
local United States inspectors where the
steamship belongs, and this being New
York city, their trial, if any, most take
place there.
The Maine Election.
Ai'gcsta, Mb., November 15. Rumors

general attention. Notices were filed with
the government yesterday for hearings in
'he disputed cases in Franklin, Lincoln,
Penobscot and Washington counties. It is
reported that no hearings will be allowed
in the disputed cases, but certificates will be
issued as already determined. Carefully
compiled lists show that the Republicans
have eighty nine members in the House

democrats have sixty one in the same
jaach. Ia the Senate the Republicans
have nineteen and the Democrats twelve.

Radical Plans Democratic Wisdom.
Washington Correspondence Savannah News.)
The Democrats and ' the Republicans
whom it has been my fortune to meet are
more than usual of one way of thinking
among themselves politically. The Re
publicans, as a general rule, predict that
the next session after the recess: for the
holidays is gtfng to be remarkably; lively
politically, and tbat there is going to be
plenty of opportunities for Republicans to
whoop up the stalwart issue and make a
solid North. They openly express the
determination of precipitating upon every
possible occasion a fierce political debate '
and of making it as bitter and as vindictive
as possible. They do not intend to at
tempt any important legislation, they say,
except to help along the different appro
priation bills they are always ready to
vote away any amount of money but to
leave the inauguration of important legis
lation to the majority. They will fight
against this legislation "most likely, they
say,1 no matter what its character may be.
This, is a minor consideration to i them,
however: "Their all' in the next session
seems to be based on the hopes of again
opening up sectional debate.
The Democrats have business princi
pally in view at the next session. They
express the determination to do work and
make the session short and mainly a bus
iness one. The principal business to be
accomplished will be the revision of the
tariff on a liberal basis no protection for
one section of the country in order, to en
rich it, while the money that goes to en
rich that section comes from the rest of
the country. It is a great and difficult
task, but one demanded by - three-fourtls
of the people of the country, and it is in
tendeu that the demand shall be fulfilled.
The rich tariff protectionists might - as
well take note of the fact. They probably
have already done so, and are preparing to
accomplish die defeat of sny thing tbat
looks like a revision of the tariff. They
will have a hard fight The bill to pre
vent political assessment of officeholders,
which is now on the House calender, will
also be pressed. But little in a financial
way will be attempted except, perhaps,
the passage of a bill to allow the Treasury
Department to resume refunding opera
tions in 1880. The internal revenue law
will be amended in some particulars for
the good of the country. Above all there
is to be no sectional debate if it can be
prevented. The Radicals only want such
exchange of chin music to ; misrepresent
all that is said on the one side, and per
petuate their hold on the government by
appealing to the worst feelings of the
North. This lesson has been learnt, and
it is intended that there shall be no repe
tition of the useless debates of last ses
sion. The fight with Mr. Hayes will not
be renewed, but as heretof re stated in
this correspondence, there will nardly be
an appropropriation made for special dep
uty marshals. ; 'W' ,
The above is the gist of.: what the Ke
nnhtiran and Democrats say as to the
next session.'. Something; may, .p ftt
any time, after Congress re-assemDieo, w
knock some of .these' calculations m the
head. They are of interest though, as

Raxjeish, January ssth, l87f.
Mr. R. a.. Bvnwm: '
Dxak Him: Your note Is received, and In- an-'
swer thereto It gives me pleasure to say thai I
believe your Brandies are the purest and best I
ever saw of our home manufacture.
In 1814 I presented a gentleman IA London
with a gallon of your make and he said lit ex
celled anything he had ever seen made from
rait, and that all his acquaintance who had
sated it thought tt equal to the best brands of
grape brandy. .
If people will drink spirits aa a beverage it is
a pity that they would not confine themselves to
such pure, unadulterated and houesUy aaadr
spirits as your 3 randies. , r .
Respectfully and truly yours, .
