Ross and Grant.

A Bohemian, charging upon Sena-
tor Ross objectionable profanity the
other day in telling President Grant to
ego to hell" excuses the iratc gentle
man lhusly:
The telling OF General Grant by Mr..
Ross to go to hell seems, at first view
prolanc and insulting. Bui Mr.. Ross is
from the scholarly State OF Kansas. and
he probably is familiar with q journey
once made by Ulysses, the antctypc OF
The present Ulysses. That Ulysses went
TO hell in order to learn of his fortune
and his future from the lips of noted
prophet who, from choice or necessity
had taken up his residence in the Plu-
tonian regions.
All thai wa, meant by the classic Ross
was that the modern Ulysses should
follow the example Of the ancient Ulys-
Sos, and go to place where he could
discover what will be his future. Had
Grant moi kicked him out before he had
time 20 explain, Ross would have made
his meaning plain. As it is, he will be
obliged, save in the cases OF men OF
classic learning and charitable tcnden-
cies, 20 rest under the imputation o!
having been both insolent and prolane.
"A good many people will agree with
Mr.. Ros, that Ulysses ought to go 10

The Plot Developing.

The Augusta CoRstitutiOndliSt says /:
Not without reason did Rhode Island
hesitate to plunge hcadlong into rati-
fication of the XVIII Amendment. Not
without reason did she summon up the
ghastly phantom of State Rights. Prior
even to the adoption of this latest out
rage, its true intent begins to crop out.
The Philadelphia Press, which is be-
hind the scenes and knows all the Sc
crcts Of the Radical party, asserts that
the extinction Of Delaware and parti-
ton of Maryland and Virginia will
soon be in course of accomplishment.
Out Of all Delaware, eight counties OF
Maryland and Two of Virginia, u new
State called "Peninsular,' is to be
formed. The reasoning of the Press
is plausible enough. It shows that
Delaware has population onc-cighth
as great as that of Philadelphia and
therefore "out of all reasonable pro-
portion for a State" Again, says The
Press: at i, absurd that such COM
mlnity should, in the Senate of the
United States, have an equal vote and
influence, so far rs numerical rcprcscn-
tation goes, viii, the Commonwealth
of Pennsylvania and New York"
Delaware is TO suffer first, because she
happens TO be Democratic. Maryland,
for the same reason, is to he plundercd
Of territory. But radicalisn will not
save Rhode Island al future day. The
little States thar stuck lhcir dagger in
the body OF The Constitution, now bel
low for its spirit 10 save them, though
il come from the tomb. Make another
speech, Senator Spraguc; the Philis-
tines arc upon YOU!

The McArdle Case.

The decision Of the U. S. Supreme
Court, dismissing the McArdle case for
want of jurisdiction, is founded on the
act passed at the last session Of the For
tieth Congress, repeating the act au-
thorizing appeals from The judgment OF
Circuit Courts to the Supreme Court.
The Court decided that while appellate
jurisdiction is derived from tie Con~ti-
tuition and not from acts OF Congress, ii
is conferred with such exceptions and
under such regulations as Congress may
make. 1t is hardly possible to imagine
a palmer instance of positive exception.

The American Lion.
(FLom the Columbus, Miss Index.

'
Mr.. Geo. Coleman, a young man of
twenty-three or four years, living three
miles from Prairie station, was inform
cd one day last week by servant girl
that she had just seen "bear as big as
a cow in the edge of the woods" a
short distance from Mr.. Coleman's place.
Her excited manner at once aroused
his curiosity, and arming himself with
his Spencer rife, loaded with twelve
balls, Ga piece that he had used in the
late wary he started out In search of the
monster. He was accompanied by q
servant and large and very fierce bull
dog. Arrived at the spot, brief sur.
vey soon discovered to him the object
Of his search in the shape of n genuine
lion. The beast. at the sight of the
men, sprang into the branches of a
dead tree, and there waited further tle-
velopments. Mr.. Coleman, who is de-
scri6ed as very cool and daring, did not
allow him to wait long, for, clevating
his rife, he at once discharged several
loads ~ him which caused the beast TO
spring from his position on his ioc.-
Quick as thought, Mr. Coleman contin-
ued dring till he had exhausted all his
charges, The secomd shot, as he after
wards discovered, passing clear through
the body Of the beast without disabling
him. And now came the tug OF war.
The lion, infuriatcd with hi, wound,
and with glaring eyes, reached the
ground near Mr.. Coleman at the first
leap, and made second spring mo-
ment afterwards. Nothing bur the cour-
age OF his dog here saved Mr.. G. from
Instant destruction. The noble animal
threw himself on the king OF beasts ere
he reached his victim, and, Selling him
by the nose, though Knocked about as a
,cathcr, fought him so tenaciOusly that
The lion abandoned his purpose. and, BY
4 single bound, seated himself on the
lower limb Of tree about twelve feet
from the ground. Al this moment Mr..
Coleman's servant handed him q dou-
ble-barrcl gun, which he had brought
aloug; he advanced almost Immediately
under the beast, took an aim that was
! to seal his own fate FOR life or death,
fired both barrels, and brought the lion

probable defcal OF the rebel army un-
der General Lee, President Lincoln cx-
pressed the hope that no more blood
should be shed; all that he wished be-

resumption OF civil rule. Sherman says
he drew up the terms Of the surren-

10 effect his escape from the coul,try-a
course ,hat Sherman believes Lincoln
wished Davis and all other leaders had

say he makes The statement in order

him should be thrown upon President
