Southern people, who have been, for
the last year, more unanimous than
any rebellious people read of in his

Indians after they have INDUCED in a

brute force alone is relied upon
Therefore it is that the greatest bat

indecisive. A statesman like Chatham

that it was more shameful not to have
profited by such victories as Vicks-

Gerard, s!se Lion.

Captain Spoke, the undaunted explorer
OF the Nile, after passing unhurt through
many perils by land and water, fell VIC
tim to an inglorious accident in the heart
OF England. Jules Gerard, the celebrated
lion-kller and African traveller, has, it is
rumored by the last foreign arrival, been
drowned willis crossing river in Africa.
Delivered, like Daniel of old, from the
mouth of the lion and the paw of the bear,
he, too, has fallen victim to an accident
which happens daily in the most civilized
countries
Gerard is chiefly known in this country
by his exciting book on lion-huntiDg. He
gives picture, by no means flattering, of
the King of Beasts, and certainly bis &C
qualnIance with the huge animals was in
innate enough to make him much better
judge OF the case than most mon can be.
Recently Gerard headed an amateur expe-
dition iAD Algeria, formed Of sportsmen
who also wlthed to see and shoot lions

The SAvil and the Military Power.

From tina Chicago Post.
We have an abiding veneratiOn for the law,
aud believe in its supremacy. We go further
and insist on the implicit obedience of all men
to the laws of the land whether those laws be
good or bad. There is legal remedy proyid.
ed for bad and oppressive laws and to that
remedy ald not to rebellion, instruction or
mobs, must the people appeal. All powers.
civil and military are in this country derived
from the law. There is no inherent powers in
the government, whether that government be
national, state or municipal. The government
is o creature of the law is brought into life
and continued in existence by written laws.
and fa!is to pieces by the repeal OF tue laws
creating it. 1t has no existence outside of the
law, and necessarily is limited in its operations
and powers by the law. Our respect and ven
erstiOu for the law is not confined to those
laws and parts of laws which agree with our
notions OF Justice; VIC may abQminate the poi
Icy or spirit and the object of q law, but as
long az it is on the statute book 1t is the law of
The land and must be obeyed as implicitly as
any other Law, and Obcyed because il is the
law.
We do not care whether the law be {. mill
,aTy or q civil law, 80 long as it is the law it
must be maintained. Ordinarily the civil law
is supreme; and at such times the military law
is subordinate; at other times and under other
circumstances the military law is supreme and
the civil law subordinate. Whenever the Occa-
sion demands it, snd the military law takes
precedence, it is as much entitled to obedience
as the civil law and the reason is, that the
laws of the land provide for the supremacy of
the civil law under certain circumstances and
for the supremacy of the other law under other
circumstances. There is no occasion when there
should be any doubt as TO which Of these laws
is supreme, because the written Law OF the
land provides specifically which should pre-
vail under the circumstances of the case The
relative supremacy OF the two laws is itself
regulated by law. The Constitution Of the
United States establishes a civil code by which
the government shall be administered but it
also provides for a military and naval organi-
cation, and confers upon the law making
power, ample authority to provide military
code for the government of the army and navy,
and Of such parts of the country where the

The New Atlantic Cable.

AN interesting report has inst been made
by the Superintendent of the Atlantic
Telegraph Company of the progress thus
Tar made In the manufacture of the cable
and their arrangements necessary to in
sure success in the attempt which is soon
to me made to connect Europe and Amer
lea by telegraph. The report states that
the covering OF the copper conductor with
four layers of gotta percha has been vigo-
rously prosecuted for several months, and
the case shows, uader the most searching
tests, perfection If insulation probably
never before attained. Or this about 800
miles have been completed, and are in va
iious stages OF completion. Six hundred
tons of the homogeneous iron. which is q
new feature in the construction of the
cable, have been contracted for, five hun
dred tons of which have already been de-
livered, every bundle having been tested
for strength and elongation. Large stocks
OF the Manila yarn, with which the iron
wire is to be surrounded, have also been
received, and over one hundred miles of
the completed wire have been turned out:
the machines employed in the last stage
OF The manufacture-thato Of covering the
core with its external protection-hayine
only been started on the lst of September.
The Great Eastern steamship, engaged
Tor the service Of the country, lies at
Sheerness, where tanks are being intro
duced for storing the cable in water. The
English government has appropriated two
ships to the service of transporting the
cable as it is made. from the works If tho
manufacturer to the Great Eastern. These
ships, also, will each contain three iron
tanks, so that the cable will never be out
OF water for more than few moments at
time, from the first commencement at
the gutta percha works to it's submsrsion
IN the sea. The projectors of this great
enterprise are confident that, so far as hu-
man power can determine, it will be en-.
tirely successful, and there are none.

From the Mankato RecOr.
From Captain Davy, who was one of the
officers sent to the relief OF Capt. Fisk's
party, we learn that the Indians have a
white woman in their possession, who is
compelled to live as the wife of one the
principal chiefs. From him we learn that
while the Indians were beseiging Fisks

sengers that they had white prisoner In

write and that next day they would have
her write him letter, stating their terms,
Accordingly, the next day, letter was
brought to the Captain, written by the
prisoner, which stated that she had been
captured while crossing the plains in con-

dams would sell her for thirty head of cat
tie, but told the captain not to give that
number, as they would take great deal
less. A correspondence was continued in
this manner for several days, in the course
of which she told the captain that the In
dlans wanted him to proceed on his jour
ney, but advised him not to do so, as they
intended following him and would murder
bis whole party when they got him in the
mountains. Finally the captain offered to
give them three horses and a wogon load
of provisions, which offer they said thew
would accept and would deliver her up
next day. At the appointed time the In

with them.
The relief party arrived at Capt. Fisks
