A Voice from the TOmbs.

The political fragments that are lust
now flying around so loosely are develop
ing heat by attrition which has the same
effect on the political fossils that the SUMS
rays have on bcnumbed caterpillar.
There is general waking up of political
Kip Van Wrinkles all over the country.
The last piece of torpidity that has shown
signs OF life is the Hon. George w. Ju-
liam, of Indiana. A halfhundred years
ago Julian was considered a great man.
lie formed very pretty tail to Presiden.
tial kite once, and received a good many
cheers and a few votes He never fairly
recovered from this stupendous honor,
and has been running on the capital thus
accumulated ever since. His constitu-
ents were often disgusted and disposed to
retire him from Congress; but when such
a thing was mentioned Mr.. Julian looked
so Mortified, and dwelt at such length
upon his record and his services that the
people drew long breath, looked patient
and miserable, and permitted him to have
his way. Many shrewd plans were adopt
ed for relief, but none succeeded. 1t was
suggested to him that the climate of Indi-
ana was unsuited to him, and that a land
had been discovered in the West that flow
ed with milk and honey, where he would
be much happier. Mr.. Julian couldn't
see the matter in that light Then they
held up to the President the advantages
OF having such gigantic intellect in his
Cabinet, but the latter only puffed his
cigar and was silent. In the meantime
the associate of John 2. Hale was each
year growing more disagreeable. He made
himself particularly obnoxious to every
young man of ability whom he thought
might develop into rival, and was said
to have dark thoughts of turning Herod,
and numbering all the male children in
the district, in order to keep the pathway
open to himself alone.
Finally his conduct became unbearable
and the people threw him overheard and
took up new man. The rage of Mr..
Julian knew no bounds. He "fell to ours
ing like very drab." He determined to
have his revenge. Up to this time the
Republican party had been good enough
for him. He had defended it with ardOr,
and asked no filter epitaph than one which
described him as a Republican first, last,
and always. But now he thought only of
revenge. At one fell blow he would shiver
the party to atoms. Ignoring all past
friendships, he took the fatal step and
Joined the Liberals. He announced the
fact IN loud voice, that, according to the
Democratic journals of Indiana, "rang
from one end of the State to the other;"
and he looked around to behold the frag-
ments and the CONSERVATION of the peo-
pie. He saw neither. On the contrary,
no one appeared to know that ANYTHING
unusual had happened, and the election
resulted as before. Mr.. Julian was doubly
outraged. He thought the very stones
would rise in mutiny and not even peb-
BILE was disturbed. He retired, no one
knew whittier, until Saturday last, when
he suddenly appeared at Rockville, Ind,
dressed in rural garb, and delivered a
speech against Grant ON the st. Domingo
business. One would think this subject
pretty we'll settled and understood by this
time; but Mr.. Julian again awoke the
smOldering fires and let loose the hot
breath of dcnunciation upon it. 1t is re-
ported that the venerable eX-member has
Joined the new-party movement, and will
soon confess himself Granger, also, and
of that peculiar pattern known as the
Nasty style. lie has probably been study
ing agriculture during the long months
that he has been lost to public view, and
is now ready for business. 1t will be a
touching sight to see Farmer Julian, of
Indiana, and Farmer Nasby, of "Illinoy,"
working together in the same glorious
cause. Thus do extremes meet, and the
Old-fashioned elements coalesce Who
shall say that, with the antiquated Will
liam Allen to lead the Democracy of
Ohio, and the venerable George w. Julian
to lead the "What-you-may- call-'ems," in
Indiana, the country is not safe? Now
let us hear from onnelly.-ChicGg0 Inter-
