THE LIBERAL MOVEMENT.

The Radical press throughout the
country are now busily engaged in
not only denouncing Democrats, but
they are fiinging their anathsmas
~fiercely at the heads of those leaders
of their own party who refuse TO re-
main quiet and passive to the dicta-
ton Of Grant and his cohorts. They
have selected as an especial object of
their venom, Carl Schurz, the able and
fearless Senator from Missouri. From
the first that it became appar-
ent that Schurz would not consent to
become a participant in the "gift en-
terpri~es'' %concocted for the benefit of
Grant and his particular pets, they
have tried to brighten him into a quiet
submission to the monstrous designs
of the Administration. But all their
threats were in vain. They fell harm
less at the feet of the man upon whom
The more the party lash cracked the
more obstinate he became in his de-
nunciation of measures calculated to
enrich a few corrupt office holders al
the expense of the taxpayers of the
country. Honesty, in every instance,
commands respect, and will win to it
admirers, no matter what the cause at
issue may be-this has proven to be
the case in the present instance. The
honest course of Schurz has gained
him the confidence and esteem of
thousands of his fellow citizens. Many
of the ablest men in the Republican
party-men who, in hours of adver-
sity, chung to its principles, and blew
the breath of life into it as an organi-
Zation-bave taken sides with Schurz-
and are now equally bold in denounc
ing the corruption and rottenness that
exists in the various departments of
the Government. Such men as Sum
ner, Trumbull, GratZ Brown and
others know we'll whereof they speak.
They are all in high position, and
have every opportunity to know just
where the fountain head of this stream
of corruption and dishonesty is. To
continue Grant in power four years
longer is nothing more nor less than
An acknowledgement on the part of the
American peopleoftheir utter unftne>s
to continue longer as a selfgoverning
people. We are not in the habit of
praising men who have Tor years been
our political enemies, put when such
men come out boldly and warn the
people to beware how they further en-
trust their liberties in the hands of the
present Administration, We cannot
help but admire their courage and
honesty of purpose. Let the people
read the warnings of these men, and
common sense, il nothing else, will
prompt a change in the rulers of the
country. The people are the sufferers
by the perfdy that exists throughout
the country, in all the Federal depart
tents 1t is for them to say whether
they will bear the burdens of excess
sIve taxation or not. Let them speak
their honest sentiments, and this party
of fanaticism and misrule will pass out
of existence forever,

Six or eight weeks ago a family
named Vhestwy, consisting of hus-
band, wife and a child, came to the
city from Macomb county, and rooms
were engaged at the house Of a Bo.
hemian nsmad Loidwjest. Vhestwy
up to week ago worked in lumber
yard, but was taken i'll one day and
had to be taken home. The doctor
pronounced his case typhoid fever.
The patient received no help from the
medicine, and soon after died in some
sort-ofspasm. James Haylemeyer and
Augustus Wortle dressed the corpse
for the grave, the dead mans Sunday
clothes being used in place Of shroud.
It was the intention to have the corpse
conveyed to Macomb county and in-
tered beside q dead son, and a
team was engaged for the purpose
Vhestwy had week growth of harsh
beard on his chin, and a young man
named Fremn volunteered to remove
it. He had worked with the dead
man at digging cellar, and the two
had something Of an acquaintance.
The body had not been put into the
coffin yet, and there were in the room
when Fremm commenced operations

er, and at length began using the rszor,
he had not taken above three or four
strokes when the dead man raised his
arms, moved bis body and tried to
sit up. The women ran away fright
ened, but one OF the men put his hand
under. Vhestvy's head and helped him
so that be. almost sat up straight. He
opened bis eyes,. looked at Fremm,
and distinctly uttered the = words :
"What's the matter Of me, Fremm !?
l feel queer !" One Of the women
who had returned to the door,
twelve feet away, plainly heard the
words. The man seemed to want to
speak further, but gasped for breath,
closed his eyes and fell back. His
heart continued to beat fer three or
four minutes after, and then tho man
died for the second time. ..s..... -

At meeting OF the Pioneer Soci-
ETY. OF Michigaii, Mr.. Drake. of Pom
tea, read a paper from which we ex-
tract the following specimen ofIndian
law.
2 Klsh-kaW-kO was a celebrated Indi-
an chief the Saginaw country. Some
one Of his band had done some ofTen-
eive act for. which he was brought up
before the chief ard q jury somewhat
near Saginaw for trial The offence
vas said TO be capital and the trial was
Tor life. Kish-kaw-ko presided at the
trial, and the testimony being intro
duced In due form the jury found the
prisoner not guilty. The chisfinquir-

they had acquitted the accused. The
foreman answered that Il was because
be was not guilty according 10 their
Law. The prisoner vas then sitting
surrounded by the jury AMI eovereS
with blankets 30 that he could not SO
what was going on; this being fba
usual mode Of proceeding. Kish-kaw-
10 quietly arose, took his tomahawl,
from under his blanket and drove f.
down into the head Of the prisoner
killing him instantly, and saying at
the same time with savage energy
"the law is changed This event
took place shout the time Mr.. Roberts
arrived in Detroit A few years after
this, Kisb-kaW-ko and q son Of his
were both tried by an American
Court in Detroit for the murder Of an
other Indian here. They were both
convicted and sentenced to be hung
bet they had agreed between them
selves to take poison, and would not
be hung. The poison was obtained in
the prison and the old chief kept his
word, took the poison and died. The
Young mans courage failed him and
Be did not take the poison. he broke
iail and escaped, soon after which q
pardon came from the President, J. @.
Adams, and thus ended the whole
matter.

The Trenton True american gives
the following concerning the late
robbery Of the Trenton Bank vault:
Mr.. Lewis Lille, now Of Newark,
Is the manufacturer Of the heavy iron
work which guarded the entrance TO
the vault, and also the bank safe, and
Mr.. StTyker, President Of the bank
telegraphed TO him to come and ex-
anime the place and give his opinion
as TO how il was wrought. we were
introduced to Mr.. Lille and shown
through the vault, and had the con-
structlon Of the outer ana inner OoOIi
and the bank also explained.
The outer door Of the Ts-ult Welt 1s
one thousand pounds, and must nave
taken at least five men 70 have lalo IL
down by the side Of the vault where
it was found. The burglars first pro-
ceeded to screw on the floor what is
known as a step, or iron to hold a
brace, which is. an. upright bar Of
wood. The brace was left at the side
Of the door, and was viewed BY
many. The burglars had marked the
1 door near the lock, intending 10
break il. The lock is a combination
one Of more than ordinary power,
/ but finding that wedging would an
/ aver their purpose better, they wedg-
ed powerfully from the back Of the
door. and succeeded ia breaking the
hinges and carrying away the dogs
which held the door 70 the jams on
the inside. It must, Mr.. Lille
thinks, have taken two hours TO
break away the door, which is two
inches in thickness, and 60 heavy
that It Is seen at once there must
have b en q perfect gang in the rob
berry. Inc inside doors of the vault
are simply fire proof doors, fastened
by an ordinary lock, which they
Wrenched OFF without much trouble.
Mr.. Lille examined the powder
that was left behind, and which was
intended to be used, and he describes
It as being the very finest quality OF
glazed powder, so fine that the thick
ness Of a good thick piece Of writing
paper, which would rest anywhere
on the jams Of the safe and permit
the door to be shut and locked,
would afford ample space for the in
| lection Of a sufficient quantity
of powder of the quality the
burglars left to blow open the safe.
TEis may not be known to bankers
geEerally, but If they will apply this
test TO their vault doors and to theiI
safes, they will be able to satisfy
themselves whether their secretaries
are available to burglars. 1t Is, We
are informed, mechanical impOssi.
bility, the way safe and vault doom
are generally made, to fit them so a:
to prevent the injection Of powder
without, as a great many are doing
applying India rubber packing, which
will prevent it unless there Is appli
cation Of force.

BOOK BEER DAT.
Traditions and CeremOnIals Relating
60 the TeutOnle Hay-DaY Tipple.

IfaQlElOnB ana OeFemOnldlS kciatlns
90 the TeutOnlc Aay-DaY Tipple.
One Of the Institutions in Munich
in the olden times, was the official
brewery, which was established by
royal authority, and which for q long
time was an important source Of rev.
enue to the Prince In the sixteenth
century there was a great rage for a
new kind Of beer, which was perfect
" white, but which is not now made.
Il was to brew this white beer that
the official brewery was established.
Later, however, this old brewery was
devoted exclusively TO the manusac-
ture Of book, a kind of beer first made
ia Einbock, of Brunswick, whence it
derived its name.
The season opens the 1st Of May.
For weeks before the opening the cell
lars of the old brewery are shut fast,
and, as the tradition goes, the only
being allowed on the inside is the
black demon, who superintends the
perfection of the beverage. Two days
before the opening occurs the official
testing. In ancient times three lords
Of the cup were dressed in stag leather
and seated upon bench. They drank
the Book from two pots, and if, at
the expiration of an hour, they could
not stand up, the beer received the
verdict ofapproval. II, however, they
were able to stand up, the beer was
pronounced a failure.
OF later years a select company as
sembles in the cellars to test the beer
and are expected to do so without get
ting fuddled. AS they come out OF
the vault they are waylaid by anxious
/ crowds, eager to learn the quality of
the beer. Upon May-day the rooms
and casks are dressed with boughs OF
/ fir, music is provided, and the people
are invited to help themselves. Dur
ing the season the brewery is crowd
ed with men, and the beer is believed
to be the best in the world. The
rooms are dingy and forlorn, with the
immense casks tilted up in the cor
ners. The benches and tables are OF
the coarsest description, and the place
might readily be taken for one Of the
lowest beer shops. 1t is, however,
the most democratic place in all Ger
many, for here may be seen, side by
side, the highest officers. of the State
drinking "Bock" with the humblest
peasant.
