"A STATESMAN EXILE"

Several Of the Radical papers oil the
Union are attempting to maintain that
Boss TWEED, the New York penitcntiary
bird, so far from undergoing the hard
ships of prison discipline, is having II
yloriously good time on Blackwells
Island. That instead of wearing striped
clothing and being confined in a marrow
cell, feeding upon course prison fare IN
common with his fellow convicts, he lives
in u large apartment luXuriously fur
nll,,d br,ad.l,.tI. IF the nnest style com
poses his garments, while champagne
dinners i'll the company OF II few select
friends, and ut which are served up all
the delicacics of the season, are his
daily sustcnanCe. In other words, that
he is simply "a statesman IN exile.
Now, of course this is not true, or even
if partly true, is highly Colored and
greatly exaggerated. Doubtless, on ac-
count of TwEED's age, and bodily coudi-
ton. he is allowed certain privileges be-
slowed upon him from motives of hui
manity; but, to say that such distinction,
as is alleged, is made in his favor is alb
,urd. But, at any rate, the fact that the
charge is able to be made is sufficient TO
cause it to be Investigated, rs no doubt
it will be done, TWEED should be made
TO feel that he is a transgressor ofthc law,
and convict. Ifunder Governor DIX's
administration he has not been taught
this, it is quite certain that under
that of SAMUEL j. TILDEN. Esq,
the man who was so prom
incnt in causing his overthrow for his
rrscaltics, he will find out that he is no
statesman in exile, but thief and cri mi
nal serving out his term as such, in the
Penitcntisry.

AstOuislled Piutcs.

There were yesterday lying upon the
sidewalk in front of this Office several
thousand pounds of new type. all packed
away in small wooden boxes. These
were to be carried to the fourth story of
the Enterprise building, and some Pluto
Indians who were loating about in front
of the business office were told that they
coull have the job if they were ION the
wsrk." After being told allabout where
the boxes were to be carried to, the In
dams turned their attention to the boxes
themselves. They looked So small that
they thought the job would he mere play
A strapping big buck at last stepped up
to one of the smaller boxes, and laid
mold of it as though with the intention of
tossing it upon his shoulder ut the first
pass. The box no more moved than if it
had been frozen to the sidewalk. The
self-complacent smile which had II mo
ment before irradiated the red man :
countenance gave place to look OF pro-
found establishment. "Who-o-oop,' said
he, as he backed away from the box to
the distance OF some PAGES. "Woo-oo-ee!
one d-n big little boxes!' He then
ishbered awhile in his own native lingo,
and half a dozen other Indians came
forward, and one after another took hold
of and lifted the end of the box. They
then tried all the other boxes, and finding
them all alike, gave it as their unanimous
opinion that they were the biggest little
boxes" they had ever seen. Masses of
rock of various kinds being the heaviest
things they had ever seen, and having
no other idea of weight than that gain ed
bv their experience with these, such I'M
mense weight rs they now found in u
worry small compass astonished them. A
large box filled with 'quads almost
solid lcsd-they viewed with great re-
spect, walking around it and cycling ii
from all points. The redskins took the
lob but never in their life did they get
such sweat rs they did before they
landed those little boxes in the fourth
stor, of the building. Virginia Nsr)

FIichty Costumes.

A terrible fashion has been introduced
this autumn in Paris, to swell bills and
excite An honorable emulation i'll extray-
apancc. Some one has discovered that
trimming dress with birds feathers has
an exceedingly charming appearance,
and that envy Is excited in proportion to
the rarity of the fowl that is plucked.
The lady who has introduced this novelty
made her first appearance Ill costume
which evidently left nothing to be dcSr-
cd; though we are unable to understand
the millinery iargon in which it is dcS-
cribcd The tunic was trimmed with the
feathers of the jay, but only the blue
ones that form part of the wing. As the
iav is not very common bird-for he Is
a deadly enemy to gamekeepers and
even the Legislature has put price on
his hcad-thOse feathers must have cost
a nrctty sum. But what will old ladies
and children cxclaim when they hear
that another mcrreiLtsnSS. not to be out
done, has ordered black silk dress to be
trimmed with canary feathers? 1t is not
easy to calculate how many hundreds OF
these little creatures would have to be
butchcrcd before the quantity requisite
to produce the effect would be obtained.
Then arises the question what next? To
ladies of inventive genius, the geological
Gardens offer opportunities the thought
of which ought to strike terror into the
Lroa,t OF Dr. Sclater. \ pclIcans beak
rs hair pin would set oil the largest
chignon. How many cockatooS
graceful, top-knots would be required
10 furnish forth costume de
cour would only be matter of spccu
lation and the judicious expenditure OF II
few sixrcnny visits. \ hamingos leg
would make IN elegant parasol handle,
and IL tigers tail comfortable, rs we'll as
an unusual, boa. The mask of the Polar
bear, neatly trimmed with vultureS
feathers would make very striking rs
well as II warm covering for the head
during the coming winter. But these
are rather spcculations for the man mil
liners. five only live long enough we
shall no doubt see the elephant and rhi-
noccr"S contribute something else besides
their "ivorics' TO the cNigcncles of fash
ion, and when the earth and the mir are
exhausted there will remain the great

The resumption of power, after fifteen
years of subsection to IFS illiberal and TN
constitutional exercise, brings with it
some very grave responsibilities to the
Democratic party. To IA party animated
as was that which We have (partially

turn would bring back, as It's principal

HSppilv the Democratic party, as it ex-
lists today and has existed from the pur-

nobler sentiments of duty; and already,
even when the first flush of victory is on,
and the blood sometimes runs hot be-
yond restraint, we see the great leaders
If the Democracy. in the great metro
nn,itan centre of Democratic influence,
meeting to counsel moderation IN the
Lav of triumph. This is wise.
"The soul and body rive not more at part
Than greatness going Off"
And therein lies all the revenge the
Democratic party needs of the miscalied
Republican. Here in West Virginia
indeed, lectures upon moderation III the
use of power are scarcely III place, di-
rected 20 the Democracy, because III all
the annals of our country there does not
exist more notable instance of modera-
ton practiced by sect or party IN the
dsv OF rccained superiority, toward the
enemy that had banished, imprisoned,
DISTINGUISHED and insultcd so many of its
purest and best members, than is at
present witnessed i'll this State in the
every day history of the party in power.

THE suit between THEODORE TILToN
and II. W. BEEcHEK was commenced
in Brooklyn yesterday. TILToN. was
present in person, but BEEcHER was rep
resented by counsel. On the case being
called TILToN's counsel answered ready,
but Mr.. SHEARMAN Of counsel for
BEEcHER, requested still further time to
prepare certain papers. Request granted,
and the case was set down for Friday
next The action of EDNA DEAN Proc
TOR against F. ID. MouLToN for libel, was
also called. MoULToN'S counsel seemed
TO think this case was being pushed for
ward unnecessarily rapidly, and asked
for a day longer to put in special plea.
This also was granted. Much interest
is manifested in these cases, and probably
soon the public will have another surfcit
of the old story.
