Gen. Malone, the great railroad man,
being asked how the South would feel if
the President were to become Cesar
Grant, replied: "Why. sir, the people
OF the South have nothing at all to do
with the matter, and l think it would
be presumptuous in them to have any
thing either to do or cay in the pre-
mises. We are regarded and treated as
look upon the Southern States IN that
light. and I don't think they should
have any concern as to what form the
Government of the country assumes. It
can make but very little difference to
them, situated politically as they are
now. We fought for our independence,
and were defeated. We can't and don't
expect from the United States Govern.
ment all we fought for. We stood by
onr State Governments; and il Virginia
seceded again, would stand by my
State and fight the war over again. We
should have nothing whatever to do
with national politics or national affairs.
There is where We made the mistake in
the last Presidential campaign, and that
is why Greeley was defeated. There
was q big split then in the Republican
party OF the North, which. IT 1t had
been taken advantage of judiciously.
might have defeated Grant and elected
Greeley; but as soon as the Southern
States held conventions and endorsed
Greeley, then the people of the North
looked upon him as our candidate. and
his doom was sealed. Had we of the
South said nothing. but stayed at home
and attended to our business. and then
gone to the polls and voted. Greeley
would have been elected. We ought to
have nothing to say in regard to ma.
tional politics. What we want to esta,
blish is our pecuniary and material in.
dependence, control our State govern
ments. manags our domestic affairs as
far as they will allow us, live peaceably
and orderly as good citizens under the
Government. rendering unto Caesar the
things which Cesar e1acts as his. and

WHAT SHE SA1D.-A colored man liy-
ing Oh Maoomb street, having long ad-
mired colored widow living in the
block next above, but being afraid to
come out boldly and reveal his passions,
went to white man of his acquaint-
ance, the other day, aud asked him to
write the lady letter asking her hand
in marriage. The friend wrote. telling
the woman in few brief lines, that the
size of her feet was the talk Of the neigh
borhood, and asking her if she couldn't +
pare them down little. The name Of
the colored man was signed, and he was
to call on her Sunday night for al an
swer. Yesterday, the writer OF the letter
met the negro limping along the street,
and asked him what the widow said.
The man showed him blood-shot eye,
a scratched nose, lame leg, and o spot
on the scalp where handful of wool
had been violently jerked out, and he
answered, in solemn tones: "She ,lidn't t
soy muffin, an didn't stay dar morn a

4 Stray Dog.

Ifanybody has seen a black
and>tan dog, answering TO the
name of Judge" going down
the street in company with a
hardshell turtle that won't an
swer to anything,and certainly
won't answer 10 tackle, as the
dog can tell you il You can get
him to stop long enough, please
halt the clipping pair, as they
are the property of the editor of
this paper. We are fondly at
tached to the dog on account
of his vagabondish, Bohemian
ish habits. He knows every
dog in Peoria by name, and is
on speaking terms with mines
tenths of the granger dogs that
come in under the wagons, and
he knows more of the inhabit-
ants of this city than the tax
collector does. The turtle is a
more recent acquisition. 1t
was placed in the back yard
yesterday, and the dog spent
an honr and a halt trying to en-
uce il to come out of its shell
and be sOciable. The old irons
clad maintained its reserve,
however, until the dog cram
med his nose against the for
ward part and began to sniff.
The pair seemed TO come to
some understanding at once,
for the dog made an impetuOus
remark on a very high key, and
they both started Immediately
on a trip after DonaIdson's
balloon. When the dog jumped
over Fishers barn, we thought
he bad struck the eastern cur
ent and would go right through,
but we learn since that he
landed and was seen sauntering
along like a whirlwind, the
turtle staying right by him.
We should be very sorry to
loose the dog now, as lie has
acquired another important and
valuable quality. He knows
more about turtles than any
other dog in the country, and
it's mighty bard to find a real
good turtle dog.-Peoria Re-

states occurred oil the Western
road near Worcester, several
years since: San old man had
been in town on business, and,
imblbing pretty freely, was re-
turning home in the evening in
his wagon and, losing his reck-
oning, permitted his horse to
take the railroad track. jog
glng along leisurly it was not
long before n train of cars over
took him, and the locomotive
striking the wagon sent the old
man "fiuking" and killed the
horse, without, however, iniur-
ing the man. The train was
stopped, and the conductor re-
turned to ascertain the damage.
As he approached the scene of
the accident, he inquired of the
old man if he was hurt much.
"Hurt3" he replied, mo, but
I'd like to know what in thun-
