Governor Powers's treatment Of Fred.
Douglass, and said When Chancellor
Harman resigned in this district, the
eolOred Representative at Washington
recommended as his successor 5ddge
Vaillaut, an old citizen and a quiet man
who lakes no part Ia politics. But CLARK,
the carpetbag District Attorney, wrote a
letter to Powers opposing It, because, he
said, he had lived there two years, and
neither Valiant nOE his wife have in
vited nae or my wife to their house.
Powers showed this letter TO Webster
the colOred Representative, who said !:
ffYes, and 1 have lived there two years,
and neither Judge Clark nor his wife
have ever invited me or my wife to his
house." ~ ~
He then read Summers letter and
commented on it at some length.

of men who can announce such plat
form in the face of such practice. 1t is
said that the ancient soothsayers could
not look each other in the face without
laughing, and we can imagine what
scene there was when this clause was
announced, and what a CHASTITY grin
must have passed around the circle,
with Morton trying to look solemn, Ben
Butler giving his cock-eye a more know
ing leer, and John Logan turning his
gaze to the West and counting to HIM
self the profits to be made from his ex-
pected dealings with the Teton Indians.
In the same section they make myste-
rious mutterings about practically crea-
ating tenure-Of-office for life, and the
only sensible deduction we can make
from it is that they propose to renew the
game of Stanton as. johnson. They
have seen the handwriting on the wall.
They know that their party has been
weighed in this scale and found want
ing, and that they must be soon driven
out from the place which they have
polluted, and hence they propose 10 tie
the hands of the incoming administra-
ton by a system of appointments to
Office, which they describe as not quite
practically creating a tenure-of-Office
for life" If Grant Is elected, they may

DID Nor LIKE Ir.-A French provin-
cial paper relates m episode of love and
war which has just been brought to
light at Pontarlier. 1t appears that a
young widow of that town had the mis-
fortune to have handsome Prussian
corporal billeted upon her. Fritz was
gallant and protecting, and, in spite of
her patriotism, Cupid succeeded in gain
ing possession of the widows heart.
The war over, the corporal left for his
native home, promising to name the
happy day. Some time ago the widow
received her lovers orders to publish
the marriage banns, hut in the ardor of
her affection she forgot all about her
neighbors' feelings. The consequence
was that as soon as the town heard OF
the intended nuptials, the most indig.
nant repaired to the widows house, and
smashed all her furniture, and would
probably have done the same for the
widow herself but for the arrival of the
police. About thirty persons were ar
rested and sentenced to imprisonment.
The widow has since sold out and gone
to Fatherland to join her soldier laddie.

The Alta California speaks of q new
expedition which has just set out from
San Francisco to seek and possibly to find
the treasures said to have been hidden
long ago by pirates in the caves of Cocos
Island in the South Pacific. Two organ
lied attempts to do the same thing have
already been made.-one in 1867 and the
other in 1S70-but both Of them failed;
the first because the stress Of weather
prevented the arrival of the vessel at the
island, and the second for the very good
reason that the explorers did not know
where the treasures were hidden, and con-
sequently could only work at random.
The expedition which has just set out is
under the command Of Captain Thomas
Welsh, who has agreed to claim nothing
if the amount of treasure he shall find
shall not exceed 100000 in value, but
if it shall exceed that amount he is to
have all the excess. This captain, having
been interviewed by q reporter, has re-
veaed some strange stories Of his earlier
life, which, should they be true, show him
to be fit commander. The tale in brief
language is TIE following: Long years
ago there dwelt lovely maiden in Kent,
England, who was wooed by nobeman,
but married commemorative father OF
Captain Welsh. The nobleman raved,
and became so exceedingly misanthropic
that he determined to turn pirate and
scour the Spanish Main in rakish- looking
brig, and wreak vengeance on all man
kind. lie had succeeded to his hearts
content in becoming the counterpart OF
the Black Avenger, but as years rolled on
he thought he would revisit Kent and sec
what had become of his old love. Thithel
he went and found that she had giyer
birth to a son, had died and left this boy
to be cared for by a guardian, and brough'
up with that guardians child EIiza-th(
present Mrs. Welsh. One day the chill
dren were playing together when a tai
and fierce man came, carried them off
placed them on board the rakish-lookinG
brig, and sailed away with them. This
demon was the nobleman-pirate, and he
had 100 trusty men with him who hac
sworn never to take the black flag from
the mast. For many years they secured
the seas, and, at length grown rich will
plundered store they stecred their bri!
for Cocos shore, where they buried an in
calculable amount of wealth in a certail
cave But the end of their evil deeds ap
preached, and at last they went the wa.
of all pirates-some were shot and some
were hanged. The boy and girl escaped
were afterwards married, and now in thei
old age, they return together to the won
drous isle in search of what they know j
there. With silvery hair Eliza walks tn
deck an ocean queen, and although no
precisely the pride of the pirates heart
still hale, hearty old lady. Bon royog'
