,CRoCoDILEs.- wild animals, the croc-
odiie seems to be the most alarming and DIES
tructible. An Egyptian sportsman, who sup
ported himself aud his family by the produc-
OF his gun, about six years sill re- with three
of his ntighbors, went to an island called
GeiZetil- Arab, a favorit c resort OF crocodies
to hunt for their eggs As they were going
round the island, three crocOdlles escaped in
to the river. On examining the spot, guam,
ttv of eggs were discovered in the sand.
These they secured, and We're proceeding back
10 their tent. when crocodile who had
watched the tran saction rushed to the place
river, and, swimming, followed them opposite
TO their abode, where until nightfall her eyes
were seen above the water. The sportsmen
Toasted sumptuously upon their spoil, but as
soon as the last embers oil their fire had died
away, the crocodile charged them furously,
repeating her attacks several times during
the night; and II was only by the frequent
discharge of their firearms that they Kept
her off at all. The crocodile, which had hith-
ertO remained harmless, now became furious,
and attacked all the cattle it could catch on
the riverside, Among the victims was fine
mare in neighboring village, Who as usual,
was allowed to Craze in the coarse abundant
pasturage. One day, while drinking, shewas
seized in the back of the neck by the Jaws of
the crocodile The mare being powerful
animal in an agony of pain threw mp her head.
The crocodile dropped upon her back, and
with her strange burden the mare gaIoped Off
to her stable. The astorished Villagers i'm
mediately set upon the crocodile with ithe :
lnaboot, or stout sticks, until she was induced
to let go her hold and dsmount but the
mare died from the joint effect of her wounds
and the fright.

procured proof positive, showing that the
Bonds authorized by the special act of
March 20, 1853, had been exhausted be-
fore this scrip was issued, and as conse-
quence, this Scrip must be something diff
ferent from the Bonds authorized to be
issued by that act. Justice Davis, who
had written the, opinion Of the Supreme
Court, spent his time in reading news
paper while the case was being present
ed but allowed his attention, to be
drawn from his paper long enough to de-
eide that the, proof above nientioned
showing the difference between Bonds
and Scrips could not be. received and
of course decided against the city. But
in giving his opinion he said he had no
proof that the Bends and Scrips were not
identical. "May it please the Court"
said Mr.. Cary" hold in my hands proof
to the contrary, but your honor would
not receive it'll" No matter, says the
Infalliblc Justice, must decide against
you. Now, Mr.. Editor, with these facts
before us, how can we respect the decis-
ions of the Supreme Court, and ought
the people of Iowa to be called rebels for
resisting their demands.
The writer. Is in tavoraof compromising
ouf-debt in manner that will be salts

is not entirely on the partsof cities and
counties, for many of those who hold the
Bonds and scrip, purchased ifcat very

The FUTURE OF OUR COUNTRY
sour FUTURE. We publish to-day a
lecture by Bishop Simpson, from the De-
troit Tribune, on the Future Of our
Country, and a communication for the
Telegraph by G. l. S. of st. Paul Min
nesota, on Our Future. Bishop Simpson
presents a cheering and encouraging
view of the Future of our Country. The
view presented by c. s., of Our Future,
is very dismal and discouragng. Both
are works of the imagination-of the
Creative Faculty. That of Bishop Smp-
son is rational and easonable-That of
O. [. S. approaches the irrational and I'M
reasonable. The creative power of G. I
8. is under the deadly influence of fear.
Fear cf the Catholics, commencing with
their efforts to exclude the bible from the
Public Schools, and ending only when
they have accomplished the ruin of our
country as he depicts it. He seems to
forget, or not know, that Henry Ward
Beecher, Theodore Tilton, William
Lloyd Garrison, William w. Patton and
many other of our ablest and best men,
are in favor o. excluding the bible form
our Public Schools
Although the communication of G. I. S.
is purely work of the imagination, en-
bracing some truths and many useful sta
tistics, we have serious objections to it,
and have given it a place in the TELE-
GRAPH with much reluctance. Even in
works of the Imagination, we are oppo-
sed to writer of one religious denomi-
nation speaking of another religious de-
nomination with the disresoect and Sc
verify that G. [. S. does of the Catholic
denomination. Hereafter, in writing on
religious subjects, We shall expect C. l..
s., as well as others, to treat the Catho
lies with more respect and less severity
than he has done in the communication
which we publish to-day.

THURSDAY. MARCH "a, 1870
Our CITY indebtedness.

sa4 Our City indebtedness.
I'd We call attention to communication
Gin relation to the City Debt, the illegally
of part-perhaps all-ofit, and the ac-
tion of the Supreme Court, thus far, in re-
lation to it, which we publish to-day. We
would not publish the communication,
particularly that part of it in relation to
the action of Justice Davis, without as
surance that the statements set forth are
true We deem it well that our own cit
liens should have all the facts in relation
to the city Indebtedness before Them and
that the public in general, so far as inter
ested, should have fair understanding
of the controversy now going on between
the people of Kenosha, the city, and the
holders Of the city scrips and bonds That
there was wrong on the part of the city
and a part of the people in the issue OF
the scrip and bonds there can be no doubt,
but that wrong cannot justify the course
taken by the courts in relation thereto
But how decision of the Supreme Court
though wrong, is to be reversed. is one
question. now before the people. Resist
ance by law has been tried, and has only
procured delay at great expense, and We
trust that resistance by force will never
be Geemed expedient. &c. &
81 The writer. of the communication eX
O. presses himself in favor of compromise
and this is well. But he, like others
fails to point out way by which com
promise can be effected We have advo
Gated compromise. but we, like Others
have never been able to suggest plal
satisfactory to the tax payers and the own
ers Of the city scrip and bonds. To cffec
a compromise, two things at least are nee
.essary The city needs to have full TN
derstanding with the creditors as to wha
they will take for their claims against thu
! city. And just here the claiman hts hay
q voice in the matter, and it behoove
them to take all the circumstances int,
consideration. They will find that, a
best it will be long time before they
can enforce the collection of even par
of their claims And, according to the
best information we can get, they woulc
be likely to realize more by compromising
than they will ever be able to collect. Or
the other hand, the city needs to have {
full understanding with the people as t.
the amount they would be willing t.
raise to free the city from indebtedness
And the people should realize that it is
great object for the city to be freed from
debt-that it would give new life anc
prosperity to the city and the people A
present, the city debt is to the city ant
the people, as heavy weight around the
neck of man in deep water. The weigh
must be removed or the man must drown
So with the debt of the city: 1t must be
removed or the life and prosperity of thi
beautiful little city must perish So i
behooves every one who desires the lift
of the city and his own prosperity in it
to give his influence and aid to remove
the city debt.
