The Republican Address.

THE Union Republican Congressional Commit
tee has issued an address to the South on the
subject of "restoration." 1t is a carefully
considered document, and eminently calcu-
lated to convey to the Southern people true
knowledge of the Spirit which actuates the
radical party of the North. The gist of the
address is found in the following extracts:-
81 the people of the States lately in rebellion
shall cheerfully and in good faith Teorgauize
their governments upon the principles OF the
main no cause OF difference between various
sections of country. The Republican party is
hostile to slavery and opposed to its spirit and
purposes, 1.-the spirit OF slavery is permitted to
South, there can be no restoration of the Union
in fact, If there should be in name. The restora-
tiOn OF the Union means the establishment of
those relations offriendshlp between the States
Of the North and the South which now subsist
between the States of the North. When that
moment arrives, it will soon arrive, if the
purposes Of Congress are met in q proper spirit
by the people of the South, the nation Will at
once employ It's immense resources and power
for the DEVELOPMENT of that region of country;
evidences of war have disappeared, but the re-
organized States will be in the enjoyment OF
q degree of prosperity not before expe-
rienced. There can be restoration, Cancellation,
lately in rebellion rebuild their institutions
upon principles of justice; but If they dwell
unon the past, revive and strengthen the
|, hatreds that were engendered by the contests
about slavery-if they deny land education or
equality OF rights in any particular to any class
OF their citizens-then, in some degree, the
malign Influences of the past and present will
be transmitted TO the future"

~OF With Their Heads"

We are heartily glad to see the excellent ex-
ample set by General Sheridan, in 'summarily
removing all Rebel municipal officers within
his district, is being followed by General
Pope. Yesterday the latter vacated the offices
of Mayor of Mobile and Chief of Police of that
city, and appointed in place of the Rebel in
cumbents two stauch Union men. The gross
assault on Judge Kelley was of itself sufficient
cause for instantaneous removal, but the
military authorities were unwilling to act
precipitately, and have given the case a full
and careful examination. The result is the
superseding of the municipal officers. We
hope that like action will succeed every
Rebel insult in any of the Southern States.

The President Prepared for any Demon
stration that Congress May Make.

1t was suggested to the President this
afternoon that the great popular verdict
indorsing his policy would prevent fur
ther agitation of impeachment. The
President replied he thought not but
apprehended that the Radical leaders
would become even more desperate, and
hesitate at nothing to accomplish their
revolutionary purposes.
In response to the question of his
course, should Radicals attempt to
depose him before trial, he said he would
resist with all the powers which the
Constitution furnishes for its own pro.
lection and preservation. This was said
with great warmth and earnestness 1t
would be criminal, he said, not to resist
an effort on the part of CorIress to
usurp or destroy the Executive Depart
ment, and he thought it well for the
country TO know his opinion and his
purpose in relation to Cabinet changes.
He said he would strengthen himself for
any emergency that might arise. Cir
cumstances, he said, necessitated a
change, and this should be done before
Congress met.
In the selection of his Cabinet, the
President declared he would not consult
or be governed by party cliques, but act
on his own judgment, and for what he
thought was the best interests of the
country 1t was his intention to draw
around him men of nerve, ability and
patriotism.
In answer to an inquiry about General
Sherman, he said: II can assure you
that General Sherman will be here be-
tween the 10th and 18th of November,
and in ample time for the discharge Of
any duty, however responsible, which
may devolve on him."
The General he further said, had
deemed it best to return to his command
to meet the Indian Peace Commissioners
as he had promised, and that done, he
would return forthwith to Washington.
The President evidently expects to avert
trouble by being prepared to meet it

The Latest Fenian Fright in England.

The last scare in ENGLAND is caused by
some rumors that the Queens royal per-
son is in danger of being captured BY the
Fenians in her secusion at Balmoral,
We do not think that much solicitude
need be felt ON that score. Neither is it
likely that the indisputable disaffection
existing in England is solely o. Fenian
origin. That the original programme of
the early conspirators is being carried
out by the men who mean fighting, and
not mere noisy agitation, is pretty evil
dent; and that programme involved a
continual disturbance of the elements of
order in various parts of the United
Kingdom at the same time, so as to em-
barrass the government as much as pos
sible and lead to some measures of anne
Iteration, if not to the disintegration of
the empire 1t is not improbable that
the state of affairs is a good deal exag-
gerated by the government and its lead
ing journals, in order to furnish an ex-
cuse to arm and discipline the people in
view of some approaching difficulties in
Europe. This has always been the policy
of the tories when in power, and they are
a party who do not learn much, but
rather cling to their old habits of dipo.
macy. That England is very critically
circumstanced there can be no doubt;
but her greatest danger may not come
from what is termed Fenianism as we
know it here, so much as from the dis.
content which is spread abroad in the
manufacturing towns by restless and dar-
ing agents operating upon the minds of a
very dissatisfied people, inaamed by the
language of the reform leaders, like that
which Mr.. Beales used the other day
when demanding an equal measure of
freedom for Rome and Irelsnd.-M Y

The End Of Long, Tragic story.

1t is nearly twenty years ago that a
strange man was seen in the neighbor-
hood Of the Parks, on Sunday in sum-
mer, brandishing a pistol and threaten
ing to shoot men and women in the
streets. His name was Timothy Kelly,
from Dubuque, Iowa, a ranner who had
Just returned from New York, where he
had sold large quantity of lead He
was madman, and thought he was
pursued by enemies seeking to get his
money. Some citizens endeavored to
arrest him. He fed and they pursued,
running through Eagle and down Beaver
street AS the foremost pursuer, Mr.
Null, approached him, the insane man
turned and fired pistol at him, piercing
his forehead above the eye. Though
fatally wounded as afterwards appeared,
Null was unconscious of the wound, and
closed in with the fugitive, who drew his
knife aud plunged it through MulPs body.
Immediately young man, james
Mahoney, seized a stone and threw it
with such force as to strike Kelly sense.
less to the ground. Charles Phillips,
then q constable-since the victim of an
other not less horrid tragedy-seized the
prostrate murderer, and carried him off
to Jail
Here his madness grew worse; and on
application to the court he was sent to
lunatic asylum. Orlando Meads, Esq,
of this city, was appointed his commit
tee and took charge of the property,
some $4,000 in drafts, etc, which was
found on his person. After while the
man escaped from the asylum and fed,
no one knew where. His shattered
intellect had received a new blow from
remorse at his crime; and he summed
his fellow men and lived as has since
been learned, like hermit somewhere
in the mines, where he had formerly
labored. Meanwhile the family of Null,
who survived his two-fold wounds nearly
fortnight, brought suit for damages.
Mr.. Hadley, of this city, was the lawyer,
and the case was novel one. He re-
covered verdict of $2500, which was
taken out of the funds found on the pris.
oner.
1t was not till few months ago that
the family OF Kelly took steps to recover
the balance of his property. He still
lives a recuse, unfit for the proper care
of property, and his family applied for
guardian, upon whose application the
money and its accumulated interest was
paid over. After deducting the S250O
verdict and the cost of his maintenance
in the Asylum, the sum amounted to
Sll,50 But who shall compute the
amount of misery and woe of which this
sum was the seed For in it lay the
origin of the madness, the crime and the
remorse which, after twenty years, leave
their dark traces still uneffaced, and still
incomplete albany Argus, Oct. II.

roars and growls Of his friend, alias the
gorilla, ringing in his ears.
Punctual to the hour of 8, Mr.. s. went
to the place Of meeting, where he found
Pref Davidson, who conducted him
through back passage to the museum,
where he found and grasped by the hand
his friend F. c., whom he had
not seen for years, aud from whom he
learned the following particulars: \
Mr.. c., who is handsome young
gentleman, about 2s years Of age, of
splendid physique, though small in sta
ture, was taken with the humbug mania
on hearing Barnum lecture last year,
and in lucky moment conceived the
gorilla scheme, with which he acquainted
the "prince of humbugs," who imme-
diately approved on seeing him get into
well preserved bear skin and initiate
the actions Of that animal. Plans were
arranged, and c. went to Africa in
company with Prof Davidson, and
after landing they, with considerable
trouble and expense, procured the
skin of gorilla of the right size. This
was nicely tanned with the hair on, and
arranged to suit, and, when arranged in
this novel attire, c. was perfect 60.
rilla With his limitations of the actions
and voice Of the animal, together with
the fear he inspired, which prevented
strangers approaching too near him, he
defed detection. Although possessing
more than ordinary strength, Mr.. c.
has nothing like that imputed to the GO
rilla, and the accounts we read OF it are
merely gotten up for sensation. Mr. S.
learned much else of interest, but space
forbids my writing more. Before leav-
ing, Mr.. s. was introduced to Barnum,
who added his entreaties to these Of Da-
wilson and c. TO keep secret, at
least, until he arrived home Cor. Lou
isvilIe Courier.
This gorilla was not at Barnum' s
museum last week. But we saw there a
real live monkey larger than the stuffed
gorilla of the Smithsonian Institute, and
far larger than any other monkey we
ever saw. 1t lacked the thumb, and had
less intellect and low forehead.

Your readers have read with interest
the accounts of p. I. Barnum's African
gorilla, which have appeared in your
columns, and been published by almost

facts of the case, which are as strange

A resident of this place, a gentleman
of undoubted veracity, has just returned
from New York city, where he had been
on business, and, on my promising
seoresy, revealed the circumstances
below narrated which my repeated So
licitations have finally induced him to
allow me to publish. He was in New
York when the gorilla arrived, and the
accounts in the papers excited his curl
osity. The day before leaving Gotham
he visited the wonder. Il happened at
the time of his visit (about o clock p. M. }
that there was no one in the vicinity of
the gorilla save the keeper, Prof David.

the animal, which almost intimidated
him as he approached the cage in which
it was confined, ceased instantly when
ne stopped before it, and, to
his great astonishment, the go
rilla called him by name, and,
seeming to forget its assumed character,
evinced desire to shake hands Prot;
Davidson seemed all struck in heap
at this, and endeavored to take my friend
away, but the latter being ofan inquiring
mind, refused to go, and addressing the
gorilla (who appeared as any human
would who had made a blunder), asked
"Well, old fellow, how do you happen to
know me p The gorilla approached
him as near as the bars of the cage
would permit, and said in low tone: Il
