BUTLER, MISSOURI. WEDNESDAY, DEC. Speaker Kiefer has announced the appointment of the following named members of congress to the chair- manship of the leading committees ot the Kelley of Pensylya- chairman the Ways and ns committee ; Crapo of Massa- chusetts of the committee on bank- ing and currency; Hiscock of New York ofthe committee on appropri- ations, and Calkins of Indiann of the elections committee, and Reed ot Maine of the Judiciary. As we pre- dicted on yesterday the speaker has fallen short in his appointments of giving satisfaction to even his own The democrats are not ina condition to squeal about the matter house : of much. The present session of Congress will, in all probability, be a stormy one. The revision of the present tariff will be the most prominent of he many, important questions of public policy that will engage the attention of the National Legislature. Mormonism is likely to come in for a large share of attention, and isa question of difficult solution, but it make this Congress a lively one. anta AiM There you will find a larg BUTLER. CHRISTMAS EVE. I How It Was Observed by Saint and Sinner. At six and a halt o’clock on Sat- urday evening last we repaired to the Baptist church and even at that carly | hour we found it almost impossible | to gain admission into the church, but by the exercise of that persever- ance characteristic of a local editor, we clbowed our way in and found every seat, ever nook and corner Look Through packed. Even the door-way was filled with people and many lett, fail- ing to gain an entrance.

The bitter quarrel between ex- President Davis and General Joseph E. Jonnston has its origin in the ap- pomtment of that pure man and reatchless soldier, Gen. Robert E. Lee, to the chief command of the Confederate army, and has increased in bitterness as long years rolled on since the downfall of the Confeder- ute cause. The bitterness of the quarrel is intensified by the statements made by General Johnston to a news- paper reporter in reference to the Confederate States’ treasure, which he charges the ex-President with ap- propriating to his own use.. There 1s not a man, woman or child in the whole country that believes a sylable ot General Johnston babbling. The life and manner of the ex-President’s living since the close of the waris a sufficient refutation of the charge. After long years spent in the service | of his country, this is the first instance that the ex-President’s honesty has The charge is been impugned. groundle: Notice is hereby given that the under- ned Bridge Commissioner, for and in behalf of Bates county State of Missouri, on Saturday, the 7th day ot January, 3882, at the east front door of the court house in the town of Butler, proceed to approaches to the bridge across Bone ee — the taking down ot the Island bridge and two miles of grading on range ine south of Bell’s mill.

Next was an illustration of the song by the young ladies of the choir ‘where hast thou gleanest to- day?’ which was highly interesting and greatly appreciated by the au- dience. This was followed by scrip- tural recitations by the Sunday school children, in which they reflected great credit upon themselves and was solemn and impressive. With this the exercises closed. The church was handsomely and elaborately dec- orated with pictures, flowers &c. The Rev. Mr. Brown, the pastor of the church, was the donee of a large loaf of bread and a big sack of pop corn and a wallet stuffed with shekles. The vast crowd then dispersed and wended their way home, all delight- ed with what they saw and heard at the Baptist church. AT THE M. E. CHURCH, SOUTH, the exercises were witnessed by a large and appreciative audience. The house was literally packed. Ev- ery seat was occupied and not an inch of standing room was left in the isles. The entertainment was open- ed by the choir’s singing that touch- ing piece of church music ‘‘gather in the sheaves,’? which was exquisitely rendered. Atthe conclusion of which a most eloquent, fervent and impres- sive prayer was offered up to Him who rules on high by Mr. Hender- Next in order were speeches by the Rev.

The entertainment was highly credit- able to the people of that denomi- nation. THE CHRISTIAN CHURCH was well filled with spectators and handsomely decorated, the services were opened with singing and pray- er. The recitations by Miss Nave and little Miss Sherman reflected great credit on the little Misses, the Christmas tree was large and elab- orately ornamented we think it was the prettiest tree we saw. Oranges, candy and apples were then distribu- ted among the Sunday school chil- dren, a general good time followed, and all present enjoyed themselves hugely. THE COLORED METHODIST CHURCH. The colored Methodist Church was handsomely decorated. They had a Christmas tree of immense proportions, ornamented with white and blue paper.
