Dan Rios's Elephant on a Tear. ("

The Scranton Herald has the follow
ing: Our readers will remember the ele-
plant A" Romeo" with Dan Rice show,
which was in this city about week ago.
This animal has been showing indications
of spirit characterization He showed
a bad disposition on the road between Car
bondale and Mount Pleasant, refusing to
turn out for teams, etc. Arriving at New
Milford, and still being unruly, Rice con-
cluded to subdue him, and for this pur-
pose they chained his hind legs to tree,
and endeavored to fasten rope to his fore
legs, and by these means throw him. At
ter many fruitless attempts the effort was
successful. The rope was attached to q
tackle, and sixteen men combined their
strength to pull him down. He fooled
them. With blow of his trunk he re-
leased his fore legs, and bya tremendous
effort broke the chains. The men at once
scattered in all directions, pursued by the
animal One Of them saved his life by
leapinga fence, and the elephant, for sat.
isfaction, threw down long span of it
At eleven o'clock they managed to throw
him, and with clubs and pixies were en-
deavoring to subdue him Some fifty
shots were fired, taking effect in his trpnk
and other portions of his body, but they
were only Hea bits to him, and were but

The Moon Calves.


We take the the following from the
Nashville correspondence ofthe St Louis
Republican; as.
The Nashville Banner tells what il
calls "a good story" on Mr.. Arnell, once
a manufacturer of leather in the Southern
Confederacy, at present an humble and
subservient supplicant at the doors of the
African Rump Congress for the seat to
which, Hon. D. Thopas was chosen by
the lawful voters OF Congressional
District in Tennessee That journal
says Arnell had franked some documents
to the Postoffice in Columbia. They
were marked IS. NJ. Arnell, NJ c." and
the Postmaster, knowing we'll that Arnell
had never been elected to Congress,
could not guess what the IN. G. meant,
unless it stood for "Moon Calf" Reading
of the Postmaster's quandary reminded
me that these humble and obedent Ten
nessee partisans of the Rump are using
the franking privilege very freely, in
sending out documents which make war
on the President and the Union policy.
Hon. Jas. s. Fowler, Senator elect, is
franking such papers as the violent at
tack made on President johnson by
James F. Wilson, of Iowa, through the
Judiciary Committee Fowler is one Of
the most dangerous and crafty enemies
the President can have He is more to
be feared than many Stokeses-is man
of letters, of science, and Of fine address
While Mr.. johnson was military Cover
nor, Mr. Fowler dwelt as it were in his
bosom. He had the advantage, too, of
consistent record for unionism. Per-
hsps, may safely add, he has been a
consistent Radical. The enemies of
speedy and constitutional pacifcation
are moving their artillery to the front
rapidly, like men who anticipate speedy
atfaok II.

The Cotton Frauds.

From the National Intclligencerl
Great Efforts have been made by the
Radical interests to hush up the allega-
tions against Governmept agents who
have been employed.in the South since
the wan, andeven during it, wherever the
United States military power prevailed
These agents, civil and military, have
plundered, the Government and robbed
the,planters ofuhtoid millions The facts
have been reported in detail and yet
Congress- has been careful to overlook or
to sn ppress them. Where is their indig-
nation against such set Of wretches and
robbers They keep all their vengeance
for the National Union men who resist
their mad policy. When will they bring
TO Justice these, their own partisans,
some of whom have obtained, by pecula-
tion or direct fraud, hundreds of thou
sands of dollars Is this money to be re-
covered for the United States Treasury,
or is it to be employed in the. coming
election to operpetuate the Radical power Z
I We copy thefollowing from the Spring
field Republican, n
WHOLESALE ROBBERY OF THE GOVERNMENT.
| Seyerali attempts have been made in
Congress to.secure an investigation of the
immense frauds upou the Government,
committed by its agents in.the South,
during and since the war but for some
reason Congress is not disposed to over
haul this matter although the Govern
ment has lost by those gigantic frauds
and stealings, from five hundred to a
tbousands million dollars. But they
cannot be wholly covered up. In Ala
bama Judge Busteed has succeeded in
getting together "a grand jury disposed
to make a searching Investigation of the
robberies in. that section; and indeed
the people generally will be inclined to
aid In the enforcement of Justice, as
they have been robbed, in the aggregate,
to n larger extent than the Government.
The grand Jury for the United States
Dist,ict CoIrta of Southern Alabama
made presentment on the subject few
weeks since that should attract general
attention They. state that there were
one hundred and fifty thousand bales of
cot,on belonging to the Confederate
Eoysrnment in Alabama at the close Of

United States were ordered to collect for
