THE REPUBLICAN,.
NEW gCGHs
MORNING, APRIL "a, 1898.

ELECTION.--DuriDgt the pendency Of the
recent election, we frequently stated to our
readers that we had no doubt of the ultimate
success of the prox which contained the name
Of Gen. Whitaker. In SO saying, We stated
our honest opinion; but we have been disap'
pointed in SEINE degree, particularly as to the
probable result Of the contest between that
gentleman and Nathan Brown. If Gen. Whit
akor is defeated We shall sincerely regret it.
because we deem him TO be an intelligent
possible point Of view infinitely better quail
fled TO discharge the duties Of first senator
than Nathan Brown. We shall not believe,
however, that Brown is elected until we hear
the fact officially proclaimed by the town-ser-
geant on the first Wednesday in May next,
followed by the appropriate exclamation, God
Sare the State Of Rhode e-Isiaad and Proridence
Plantations" The rest Of the senators whose
election we advocated, are undoubtedly elect
ed, and if the election had been fairly con.
Quoted and the people had not been deceived,
Gen. Whitaker would have been elected also.
We do not feel inclined at this time TO 90
minutely into all the arts and stratagems
which were resorted TO and practiced by those
opposed to us. in order to defeat the election
of the peoples p~ox. It must suffice for the
present to say that the opposition had their
proxes, each one, cunningly contrived, and
made up with view to cheat the people.
We understand that the few Jackson men
we have among us, pretend to claim q victo.
~ over the administration party in the recent
election, and that bulletins announcing that
victory have already been issued and circu-
lars sent to Maj. Noah, and Duff Green, com.
munica,ing the glad ,idings.-But we are un.
willing TO believe that such is the fact. We
know, il 10 true, that some Of the leading
gentlemen in the opposition, are in politics
queer fellows, and have played some queer
pranks in the recent election; but they have
done those strange things at home among
their neiqhbors and friends, who well knew
the motives by which they were infusnced in
their political sportings. II would indeed be
carrying the joke rather too far for these
geutlomsn to attempt to give abroad ehTsc.

OuTRAGE.--It will probably create sur
prise. even in those who have not been
scandal;zed with the assault committed by
Duff Green in the Capitol, and that at.
temDted BY Kremer on mr.. Wright, when
they read the particulars ofa new outrage,
given in the letters Of our Washington cor
respondents last evening. Col. Jarvis, the
partner Of Duff Green, had, it seems, the
singular audacity to present himself at the
Presidents levee. Young Mr.. Adams ex.
pressed his surprise, that the open defamer
ofhis father should intrude himself into the
house and presence of the man whom it
was his daily task 10 slander. His obser.
servations having come 10 the ears Of Col.
Jarvis, instead otcovering him with shame;
reused him to fury which he magnuni-
mously vented in attacking young man,
in every respect his inferior ir. strength.
II does not appear that he had the better, in
The struggle. As there is no want ofcrim.
inal jurisdiction in the District Of Colum-
bis, we can only hope he may receive his
therein. In the mean time, his modesty
and galIantry should be bis zoned by the
press, that he and his friends may have oil
the credit they deserve and the people
may Judge Of the merits Of cause which
numbers such supporters among its oracle.
Since writing the foregoing remarks, we
have read another account Of this outrage,
contained in letter from the correspon.
dent ofthe American. II is mentioned in
it, that on hearing Of mr.. Adams remark,
Jarvis addressed him note, to which, very
properly, he returned no answer. The
same reason which justified him in making
the observation which he did, also made 1t
correct to treat the note with silent con-
tempt. One word more-if either House
Of Congress permit the messengers Of GO
vernment. while bearing commun ications
to them to be assaulted IN their Legislative
halls. Colonel Benton's predictions will be.
come matter of fact and they must delib.
crate on the affairs the nation, with cock
I'd pistols in their hands.

This, which IS designated as the contingent fund
till after the close of Mr.. Jefferson's term, was not
distinguished, but embraced in a general sum for
Foreign Intercourse.
The amount of this fund expendedin the five
last years of Mr. Madison's administration, was
S293, $40 O3, making average of S58,668 ii
year.
The amount of this fund expended in the eight
years of Mr.. Monroe's administration, was
S289 1916 rs, making an average of S36, l64 80.
The amount of this fund expended in the two
years past of Mr. Adams administration, while no
appropriation is asked for the present year, was
S54,875 70, making an average of fS27,437 IS, for
the two years; sum less annually, than was ex-
pended by Mr. Madison, by S31 ,230 IS; less, an
nually, than the sum expended by Mr.. Monroe, by

every view founded upon facts, and not conectures
and supposltion.

| The expences of foreign intercourse have been
a theme OF great complaint, and one upon which the
gentleman has also insnuated comparison. | will
not only attend to his comparison, but extend it back
10 the origin of the Government. Let US, however
take with us the fact, that we have now more mis-
slons upon the continent of South America than we
have upon the continent of Europe. By the re-
duction Of the grade of the mission at Chill to
charge, Government has been enabled to send a
Charge to Denmark where we have claims in contro-
versy..,
The gentleman stated, that the expense of for egn
intercourse in the three last years of Mr.. Monroe S
Administration, amounted to 100000 dollars, and the
same expense in the three first years of the pre-
sent, amount to 413,oOO dollars making the pre-
sent exceed the former by 267 900 dollars. The
fallacy or of the statement is in imputing to
Mr.. Adams one year of the expenses incurred and
provided for before he came to the Office. The
appropriation for 1925, was made in February, and
with which Mr.. A. had no more TO do than his sue
cessor, whoever he may be, now has with The ap-
preparation of this year. The amount of ap-
propriatvns for foreign intercourse then stands

DISCOVERY OLE AMERICA

A distinguished SaUaa of Copenhagen has adj
dressed letter, containing very curious historical
information TO gentleman of this city. He is
engaged in the composition Of work on the voya-
ges OF discovery to North America undertaken by
inha btants of the North of Europe before the time
IF Columbus. He has in his hands ancient genu.
inc documents, the examination of which, he SAYS.
leads to- the most curious and surprising results
well worthy in themselves Of fixing the attcn,un OF
the philosopher and historian. They furnish yari-
Gus and unquestioBabe evidence, not only that the
coast Of North America was discovered soon after
the discovery Of Greena nd, towards the close OF
the tenth century, by northern explorers, part OF
whom remained there, and thafIt was again WIS.,
tied in the J. tb 18th, and 9th centuries, but also
that Christianity was introduced among the abo-
rhymes
In the names Of the northern American places,
traces Of the Scandinavian descent of the earlier
settlers are found. The documents mentioned a.
bove, supply materials for Nap Of the northern
coast of America, which will be annexed to the d
gest and commentary to be prepared by the writer
the letter
The northern adventures had their principal,
station at the mouth Of the river ST. Lawrence 1:
and Gaspe-bay is prominent rendezvous; but it
is affirmed to be clear from the records that they
were acquainted with the coast much further to the
south, even as tar down as the Caronas 1t was
IN the year $50 that America was discovered by
BidSkp HeyuctScn, but he did not land In the
year 1000, perhaps earlier the coast was visited
by Lief, son of Erik the Red who first colopized

ceeded in the same way, Ghonfnn Knrbsfone is
one from whom the most circumstantial reports
have been transmitted. From his son iSnorye.

TRIBUNAL OF ORLEANS.


Mr.. Lemnel Gulvers account of the civil war
produced in Lilliput by the question, which is
the proper end to break egg att" is well
known. contest, not dissimilar in its orr gin,
though less sangunary in its results, than that of
the Big and Little Endians, has lately afforded
considerable amusement as well.a profit to the
Gentlemen of the Long Robe at Orleans. Mons.
Gaign, worthy bourgeois of the commune of
Sambin, has, it seems but one fault he is rather
too fond of law consequently it rarely happens
but what he is engaged in. litigation with some one
or other OF his neighbours. What is more extra
ordinary, although NJ. Gaign is unques,ionably
always in the right, yet somehow other, by
some uncomfortable fatality, verdict nine times
out ten goes against him; still his perseverance
under such discouraging circumstances is as un-
conquerabe it is praiseworthy. nj. Glign is
the proprietor Of small farm, over which, well
his servants, goods and cbattles, he exer-
clses the mos, exact Surveillance. Like mos, of
his neighbors, he has yard full OF those useful
animals, one Of which the Great and Good Ulnri,
used TO wish every peasant in the country might
pop in his pot on Sunday. One of Mons. G's
principal cares was to watch over the iecundity
OF his fowls, ana at length he began 10 suspect
that they produced him fewer eggs than was
usual, indeed proper; and the only way IN
which he could account for the defalcatou was,
that they must certainly stray OFF his boundaries
within those Of his neighbour. One morning. al
ter making the tour of his outhouses, and exam
lining every bush in his own garden, he ventured
to trespass on that Of his neighbours, NJ. Gau-
thier; and there, III the hedge which divided the
two from each other, he espied tocrably thick
bush, and peeping through the leaves, discovered
an old bucket, which had been left there by one
OF the children. At the same moment fowl,
disturbed by his intrusion, few out in his face,
and giving this French Pom Pry a tolerablc
flap over the nose with her wings, en- PEASANT,
made her escape. Down his knees went NJ
Gaign, cropping in the buckle, for eggs. That
which he brought out does not appear to have
been egg; but Notwithstanding his dsappon-
ment in this particular, nothing could persuade
him but that the bucket was purposcly there de-
posted in order to- encourage his hens 10 play
truant and therefore, being a gentleman who
piqued himself as much upon his literary as his
agricultural abilities, he produced two copies of
placard, to the contents Of which we regret the
difference OF language prevents oUr doing justice,
either IN point oil grammar or orhography. After
declaring that I've is about 10 pronlUleate n new
