THE EsoUlMAyx DcG.-The Esqui-
maux dog is character--his DISPOSE
ton riddle. He has wicked eye
and treaoherous physiognomy, yet he
seldom attempts violence to man. y
stick or u stone will drive him away
instantly should his proximity prove
unpleasant. With his fellows he is
apt to be quarrelsome. If one be
worsted in the struggle, tae whole gang
fall upon him, and then his life is not
worth farthing ualess his master
comes to the rescue. In like manner
they all rush upon man, should he
chance to fall and fail to spring to his
feet before they can reach him. When
harnessed to the kommetiks or sleds,
if the sled be suddenly checked by an
obstruction, they instantly pitch into
each other indiscriminately, and the
fight is only stopped by vigorous APP
plication of the whip. This whip is
a curiosity-the handle not more than
a foot in length, and the lash often as
long as as nine fathoms. An expert
will use it with wonderful dexterity,
hitting the smallest objec. its length
from him. This implement is as es-
sential to dog driving as steam to
locomotive, but its constant use IS
severe tax to the muscles Of the arm.
When two persons are riding together,
they relieve each other at frequent in
teryals. The dogs are attached to the
sleige each by single trace Of seal
hide, the traces Of different lengths,
and are driven abreast, spreading out
like fan, as they run. The tracks
upon the snow are like those left by q
drove OF wolves passing. The sledge
is from three to sixteen feet in length,
with low runners shod with whalebone
Or iron, and dashed to their cross pieces
Of wood by strong strips Of seal hide.
To the Esquimaux the dog IS almost
indispensable. Last winter, they, az
well as the whites, lost nearly all by
hydrophohia. But FIVE or six were
lef5ln the whole Bay and vicinity, -
The disease was wholly confined to the
native dogs, and did not affect the
Observation-Disclosures and other breeds
The coming winter will find the people
in great straits.

The Michigan Contested Election Case
Righteous Decision.

The Detroit Tribune says that the House, on
the 18th inst, adopted the first resolution re-
ported by the Committee on Elections, declaring
that Geo. B. Cooper is not entitled to seat as
Representative of the First Congressional District
of Michigan, by vote of 81 to II, and also
adopted the second resolution declaring Hon.
William 4. Howard entitled to his seat as Repre-.
sentative from said District by vote Of 92 to
IN.
The majority in favor of Mr.. Howard is some
what larger than had been generally anticipated
The frauds by which it was attempted to fois'
Nj. Cooper into Congress, were so garing, thai
a number Of Southern members, too honest te
ignore their convictions of right, and too indie
pendent and manly to heed the cry Of "Blacl
Republican" enrolled their names in favor OF the
rightful claim of Mr. Howard. That the major
ty in favor Of Mr. ii. was not much larger, serve.
only TO illustrate how all-controlling is the nfu
ence obtained over the minds and cOnscisnces O
men, by the MolOch Of party-an influence which
must be counteracted, or our liberties will exls
only in name.
But it is enough for the present to know thai
tho people of the First Congressional District are
not doomed to be mis.epresented in the Thirty
sixth Congress, and that Michigan presents q sole
phalanx in both Houses of Congress, in defenct
of the great principles with which are inwrough
all the hopes of patriotism for the future of ou1

il forever. As long a. he remained in thatparty
he was one whom they delighted to honor, and
at the time of his Withdrawal was Senator OF
the United States. Occupying that position al
the time of the passage Of the Kansas-Neoraska
Bill, he denounced that measure in manly aud
straightforward terms, and when the Janus-faced
Cincinnati Platform was adopted by the pro-save'
ry democracy, he resigned his place upon their
committees and enrolled himself in the republi-
can ranks. He stands squarely and fully up to
the principles of the party and will fill the chair
of President of the Z. s. Senate, which he j:
destined to occupy on the 4th OF March next
with dignity and honor.
Republicans, Our flag streams proudly from
the head of the advancing columns Of the repub
can host Although We do not see upon it tn
name Of one dearest to our hearts, yet there arr
noble names inscribed there, and worthy Of you
hearty and enthusiastic support. Rally then Il
the Republican standard, and prove that the Re
publican party is faithful to the cause Of Free
dom, and true to the party of which she is tn
birthplace.

Canal Tolls

The Detroit Free Press, in reply to our re-
marks upon this subject last week, simply lodges
the point at issue.
The facts are that the company has not paid
the taxes upon their lands, because they were
not obliged to. Neither has the State been REIN
bursed by the United States Government fol
these taxes. The only source, therefore, from
which they can be realized is the tolls upon the
canal. Houghton, Ontonagon, Grand Traverse
Midland an other northern counties are grooming
under the burden imposed by their non-pay
ment.
Everybody knows that tolls have not yet beer
raised anything like sufficient to meet this debt
and it ID for the purpose of meeting this debt
and relieving those counties, that the tolls arr
placed at their present rate.
