was loudly called for, and responded
briefly, though in his usual effective
manner. In the course of his remarks
he alluded to the present depression OF
business affairs he said that it was
| something more than Il panic which
had caused this. 1t was caused by one
half of the country being plunged into
| paupcrism and kept there, i'll order to
maintain Grant and his party in power
at Washington. The workingmcn OF
the country should vote against the
party which has brought this distress
upon the land as no hope for better
times need be entertained rs long as
the white men of the South are kept
under the heel of the negro.
Mr. Bayard alluded To the eeonomi.
cal administration of affairs in Della
ware, by Democratic officials When
Senator Anthony, of Rhode Island, Was
Informed that the Delaware State
lGovernment expenses for one year,
amounted to but little over $50, 900, he
said it was damned ridiculous piece
of nonsense" and that in his State that
amount was spent for printing alone.
After abiding to Democratic gains
in the recent elections, Mr.. Bayard
closed his remarks by urging those
present to help continue the work, by
electing Democratic President in 1876
and thus securing peace and union.
During the closing portion of MIR
Bayard's remarks, Governor Cochran
entered the hall and was yigorousl,
cherred.
When Mr. Bayard concluded lou,
/ call were made for our next Governor
who responded MS follows:

A correspondent, writing from one of
the famine. stricken districts of India,
says: 1t is no easy thing to write Co
herently with the moan Of miserable
starvelings constantly in ones ears.
Whenever | looked up from the paper
there stood or squatted before me out
side the open door Of the tent, some half
dozen forlorn, hollow.eyed, emaciated
women, begging for food TO keep them
from starving. If 1 called for the
chuprasse to move them on for to
work within sight of them was impossi-
ble-they went patiently away with the
dull resignation of fatalists. But no
sooner we're they gone than others came.
Lean mothers came and laid down little
children, that lay prone on the grass, as
il they were dead, for they we're too far
gone in starvation to stand on their
wasted little legs, and prayed for a
morsel of food to save their little ones.
Wretched old women, shrivelled and
starved almost out Of human semblance,
Uttered over the grass, to fall PROSTATE
outside the tent, and pray for raiet,
while their gray hairs trailed among the
dust. The air was full of the dull,
monotonous howl in which reiet IS
craved, as a marsh at eyentime echoes
with the orOaking OF frogs.

How They XIII Cattle i'm re.a..

From the Baltimore Americana
The ordinary plan OF drawing the
steer down to the block and striking
him on the head with an ak is too slow
for the wholesale butchery carried on
there. About one dozen head are driven
into small pen, just sufficiently large
to hold that number closely packed and
gate forced to behind them. This pen
has an open slat platform across the top
Of it, upon which two men are stationed
with poles, with sharp pointed knives
fixed on the end of them. With ra-
pidity acquired by long practice, they
plunge their spears into the necks of the
atfrlghted and struggling animals cut
ung the jugular vein and each success
slvely falls as if struck down with an ak.
Inc blood spurts out in streams as if
from fountain, and in less than min
ute the whole penfHll are down culver
ing in the throes Of death and covered
with blood. The door of the men leading
into the rendering room is t6en thrown
open, the animals drawn out in sue
cession; knife rapidly splits the skin
around the neck and down the stomach.
A rope is attached to the upper part of
the hide by a clamp, to the other end of
which is a mule, which leisurely walks
off down the yard carrying the skin Of
the animal with him, and leaving the
carcass still quivering with animal life.
A tackle hoists the body up to level
with the mouth of one of the immense
cauldrons, and in less time than we have
taken to describe the process, it is in the
seething and boiling mass. There are
four or FIVE of these cauldrons, each
large enough to hold a dozen beeves,
and they are kept constantly going dur
ing the killing season. The tallow is
drawn off into large hogsheads, and the
remains of these great soup kettles are
carted out on what is called the hash
pile" consisting of bones, horns, and
the animal matter from which all the
fatty substance has been extracted.

behind a post. Becoming frightened,
she called Mr.. Brett, who went out in
the porch with pistol in hand. He or
