The Boot on the Other Leg"

The wrong man il seems went overheard when
John Stryker was knocked from the platform at
Syracuse. Mr. Wood, who makes the following
affidavit, is a Custom-Iouse man, and political
friend o: Stryker:
Citu and County Of Neic York-Cornelius
Wood, being duly sworn, doth depOse and say,
that, seeing many false statements IN the pub
lie press with reference 10 occurrences at the
late Democratic State Convention It Syracuse,
and finding that injustice is done TO many per-
sons by an act of his own, in which Mr.. John
STRIKER was pushed from the platform at the
Convention. he is induced to make this Gepo
sition.
And deponent saith that he went 10 that Con-
ventou as politician, TO participate with Others
in the excitement which always exists at such
places that, holding an Office AT the time under
Mcintyre, BiNble 4 Co, the contractors tor the
Government Public Store labor. he thought he
could be of service 10 be present.
Ard this deponent further saws that he re.
ceived a ticket TO enter the hall where the Con
yention was held from a person whom he knew
to belong 10 the political interest opposed to
Mavor Wood. from the fact that the ticket was
signed bv Peter Cagger, and that he has reason
to believe was sent to him 10y Peter CaSser OF
Isaac '. Fowler and that he considered himself
: belonging 10 party Of men who intended 10
have a fight and break up the Convention If di-
rcc,ed 10 do so, but in which the deponent did
not intend to participate.
And this deponcnt further SAYS that when IL
Wicting Hall, after the Chairman was made,
great confusion and noise took place; that Capt
Ryuders commenced the row, threatening to
beat some of the New York delegates, tina,
during the disturbances, the deponent resolved
to 20 upon the platform and push the man OH
that this depOnent did go supposing, at the
time, that he was doing right, and getting rid OF
the man who had no night rs Chairman of the
Convention.
And this deponent further says, that if he had
known that he was doing wrong he would not
have done what he did that he has no doubt il
was the intention of the person who told him &c
GO and push the Chairman OIL the platform, that
he should push Mr.. Alvord oil and not Mr.
Striker, and that he did not know one from the
other, and supposed he was aiding the Cagger
side of the question IN what he did
And this deponent further says, that he does
not know Mayor Wood personally; that he hat
no connection with him before or at the COnven
ton, and that he is not in any manner connected
with the Mozart Hall political organization ol

II has long been known that the Adrnlnistra-
ton party OF California had compassed the death
Of Senator Frederick The manner OF their ac-
complishment of this deed was that David ;.
Terry, ruffian from Texas, whose bloody hands
once held the scales Of justice, as the first Chief
Justice Of California, Denver and Gwinn, should
challenge the victim in succession.
The Geographic account of Senator Broderlck :
death states that the occurrence created deep
excitement in San Francisco, and well 1t might,
Wherever al Ant-Lecompton Democrat is to be
found, there will be found man who will regard
the death Of Broderick as a willfnl murder
The hate which followed Broderick was as
deep and bitter as that with which Burr pursued
Hamilton, aid the pretext for the duel which Il
offered by Terry and his apologists, is startilngly
similar to that which was offered in the case OF
the murder Of Hamilton, viz: that the victim
had expressed want Of confidence in the politi-
cal integrity Of the challenger
We'll did Mr.. Seward remark that the pro-
slavery feeling il deeper in California than in
Delaware and Maryland, although the first Is
nominally Free State, and she two latter legal
ize slavery In every sense of the word ID Sena'
tor Broderck a martyr to the political principles
which he embraced, and his blood will add itself
to rivers already shed by the advocates of free
dom, and the victims of pro-slavery wrath.
From the death of Lovejoy at Alton, not year
has passed without memorable instances Of the
slaughter of anti slavery men. The soil of Kan
sas il drunk with it and Washington, the very
seat Of National Government, has become odious
for acts of bloody violence committed upon mem
beers and Senators "for words spoken in debate"
The death Of Broderick, as he fell pierced
through the lungs by the bullet of Terry, on the
18th ult, adds but another victim.

LIT Orr EAsY.-The n. Y. Tribune Of
have decided that the young man who killed an
other with his bayonet, on the day of the foolish
parade in honor of Mr.. Seymour's return from
Russia, was not even guilty of an impropriety,
and he has been set at liberty. The indictment
against DR.. l.. Z. Brockett, who lately committed
extensive forgeries in that city, has just been
bought up by his bondsman, and he is also enjoy
ing the blessings of freedom. The expense of
satisfying the Hartford Judiciary and Prosecu-

5000. 1t is not yet known whethc: residents
OF Hartford who have neither friends nor money
can commit murder and forgery with impunity

Louis EXPLAINs-And this the way hc does
it. According to the \. Y. Irib,ae the article
in Tie Nonitetr of the 9Th of September on
Italian affairs, ascribed TO the pen of Louis Ma
poleon himself, and which has called forth SO
many comments is neither more nor less than
the Emperor's apology for the treaty of Villa
franca, followed 10y confession that so far as
the settlement of Italian affairs is concerned, it
has failed entirely of the results which he ex-
pected from it, and by warning to the Italians
that since they have not been willing to accept
his arrangement of their affairs, they must make
up their minds to see Austria resume her old po-
sition Of hostility to Italian nationality.

The Old Bargain and Corruption Charge.
Thurlow Weed publishes the following int

Thurlow Weed publishes the following int
resting matter in the Albany Journal:
"JoHS Quincy ADAMS AND HENRY CLAY
The Press, in its obituary notices OF the late Al
bert ii. Tracy, refers TO the old charges OF bar
gain between Mr.. Clay and Mr.. Adams. Though
this accusation is not generally believed, MIR.
Tracy's testimony may, just now, very properly
be introduced. We therefore submit the follow
ing extract from letter written TO us by Mr..
Tracy. dated Washington, Feb. ~, 1925:
49, The Presidential question is of late becom-
ing more spirited and interesting. The develop
ment of Mr.. Claws views, in favor of Mr.. Adams,
although perfectly understood by some of us from
she beginning of the session, has produced great
CONSERVATION with both Jackson $ and Crawiord's
friends Both suffered their own unfounded
hopes IL deude them into belief that he would
take ground on their side. What renders this
event the more gratifying, is the fact, which
know TO be true, that Clay S course has not been
in the slightest degree influenced by any adyan-
ces or arrangements of personal character. Tie
| and Mr.. Adams are in precisely the relationship
of intercourse that they have been. Ii is alto
gethcr the result OF the public state of things.
Indeed, il is hardly possible 10 conceive pol!t'
cal mans acting with that perfect independence
which Mr.. Adams does. | am entirely in his con.
tidence; and speak, therefore, with positive
knowledge, when l say that he neither has made
nor thought of making an overture 10 any politi
sal man living. He rests his expectations, with
the most composed confidence on the course o
events, turning neither 10 the right hand nor e
| the lett, 10 seek or avoid.

A Harlequin CoRPsE-M. Violeau--distin-

the story of a poor widow of an innkeeper, who
wept bitterly while her neighbors arranged the
body in Its coffin, frequently murmurng
They've used a new sheet. They've put a
6ne linen shirt upon him" When left alone,
she took from her cupboard a harlequin's suit
left for THEN score by a troop of comedians,
opened the coffin with all possible dispatch, and
exchanged the dress for the fine shirt and new
sheet. The husband, however, was only in a
state Of coma. The cOfiin.bearers were on their
way to the church, followed by the weeping wild
ow, when a strange noise was heard, the corpse
moved; the porters dropped the coffin, which
broke, and out stepped harlequin in his six-and-
thirty colors.
