Jumping into the water. it was not many

was carried under the surface to a depth of
twenty feet. He now discovered that he was
in the jaws of one of those voracious man-eater
sharks. Struggling with all his strength
johnson managed to break away and reach
the surface again but the shark was soon af.
ter him, and continued to him In various parts
of the body, when the young man bethOdght
himself of the sailor trick of putting his fing.

bis no small qualification soon saw the frenzied
monster fleeing from him.

Frauds upon the Government.

The Boston Eoening Voice says that a
certain firm in Boston, which has its sign
on State street, and is engaged in the
wholesale liquor trade, has for thirty years
been defrauding the government by the
use of two sets OF invoices-one for the
government, the other for itself. The
government at last, suspecting that all was
not right, put a detective on the track,
who soon unearthed the villainy of the
house Then the government pounced
upon the eminent house and seized their
papers. Their guilt was transparent. They
pleaded for mercy. The government was
stern and unrelenting, and tiercely de-
mande1 million of dollars to carry on the
war. The sum was enormous, but it did
not probably equal one-half of the illicit
profits of this great house OF undaunted
commercial integrity. They finally Sc
cured the services of a I" go-between "a
man of influence at Washington. He
wheedled and coaxed the government, and
finally persuaded it to take one hundred
and twenty thousand dollars In bright
shining gold, and say no more about it
The money was paid speedily, and the de-
linquents are now "scOt Free"

A Manly Letter from senator DOOlil.
Tie, Of Wf.co nsfn, ON the Suffrage
Question

Hon. j. Z. DooLITTLE, United States
Senator from Wisconsin, under date of the
Goth inst, has @ritten very manly letter
on the questinn If negro suffrage, which
we recommel d our Republican friends
who are urged H. vote for the amendment
to our constitution We hear every day
the names of Republicans of high charac-
ter and influence who privately avow this
intention of voting against the amend
ment, and who aespise the radical whip,
in the hands OF the Press Will not these
men initiate the candor and courage of
Senator DooLu1LE? A vote against the
scheme is not enough. The designs of
the radicals have Lecome so well under
stood, that no 'rie friend of the Union,
and of the u abstraction of President
JOHNSON, has 81 light to remain silent
After few ih.foductory remarks that
are not important, Mr.. Doo1IrrLE says:
II shall maintain that, in not making the
question of negro suffrage in this State, or in
the Southern States, a new test of political f.
deity in the Union party, its action was in ac-
cordance with the judgment of two-thirds If
not three-fourths Of the delegates to that Con-
vention; and while, if it were true that nv
vote or voice determined its action, / would
cheerfully accept the entire responsibility, it
Is not true in fact; the allegation is grossly I'm
Just to the majority of the members of one of
the largest and ablest bodies of men ever as.
sembled in this State, and the charge go false
against them, does me too much honor
Negro suffrage in this State is already SUBJ
United, not as party, but as popular ques-
ton, to the unbiased judgment and true cou-
victions ofthe people at the polls. IL is not,
never has been, and ought not to be made
test of political fidelity in the Union party of
Wisconsin or Of the United States.
To adopt such q test would be an act of great
injustice, especially to the Thousands of War
Democrats, in the field, and at home, who, at
our earnest invitation, came to the support
of our cause two years ago, in the darkest hour
OF our trial, and whose coming made rs In fact
as well as in name, Union party, composed
of Democrats a. well % Republicans; the true
and the only true Democratic Republican
party. ,fr, | ~
While such test if rendered or accepted
by rs, would bring no additional votes In favor
OF negro suffrage, 1t would be joyfully &C
cepted BY our opponents, and, as everybody
knows that. on two former occasions it has
been voted dewn in this State by immense ma
jorities, it might defeat our candidates and our
cause.
