deed of revolutionary violence:
Constant apprehension has seriously un-
settled every branch of traffic. Those pos
sessed Of means clutch with nervous energy
every dollar not absolutely requisite for
daily use.
If we assume that members of the Re
turning Board shall be assassinated by
order of the attorneys, what then? Will
it invalidate their return? Certainly not,
because it can not take place until the
contamination Of the act apprehended.
In what position then would the result
of the election stand? Just where it
stands now. Subject to the decision of
the Legislature upon the validity of the
election returns Of its members. But
who are these members? If the Legis-
lature is organized upon the report of the
Returning Board then the assassinations
will be for nothing. Ii the report of the
board is not respected, then every lcgis-
lative claimant rushes into the hall Of
legislation and seats himself. The strug-
ole then commences to decide who shall
constitute the Legislature. Suppose the

Congress assembled on Monday, and
about the most important thing done on
that day was the introduction Of bill
to repeal that celebrated "press gag
law" or rather an attempt to introduce
it. The number Of newspaper editors
who have been dragged to, and are now
gagged in Washington, is SO great that
members Of Congress can hardly find
boarding places, and the tyranny and
oppression is so monstrous under this act,
that Mr.. Phelps OF New Jersey, tried to
ct the bill In before the presidents mes
sage had been received, but few mem-
bers who haven't so severely suffered
from the gag law scrofula, objected, and
the usual preliminary business was then
transacted. Mr.. Phelps, however, with
the most commendable heroism gave no.
tice that be would ask for the suspension
OF anything in the way of the passage of
his bill next Monday, when we trust it
will be promptly passed, and thus re.
lieye the country from that unlimited
legislative scourge Of the 10Th century.

A FAMILY OF BoDY SNATcHERs.-
According to the Chicago Times a horri-
BILE discovery has been made at Flint,
Michigan. It is believed that whole
family have for long time carried on
the business Of body-snatching. Their
name is McNamee, and they consist of a
father, aged fifty or sixty years, his two
sons, one supposed to be a student at
Ann Arbor University, and daughter.
They have been in bad repute for many
years, the father having been arrested
during the war for running an illicit dis.
tillery, and as, though none of them
were known to do any work, they always
had plenty Of money. The manner Of
the discovery was thus One Goodrich,
farmer, returning late from Grange
meeting, had to pass a grave yard, and
just before reaching it was surprised to
see a team coming toward him, and on
drawing near discovered that there we're
four occupants, McNamee, the elder
sitting on one side of the seat Joe, the
younger boy, driving; the girl reclining
in the back part of the wagon, and a
fourth figure sitting between the young
man and his father. The latter wore
black hat aud clothes, and did not speak
in response to the inquiry Of Goodrich.
This proved to he the dead body of a
young man named Wilbur Hill, eigh-
teen years Of age, who had been buried
that very day. A number of spades and
picks were lying in the wagon, and the
girl was dressed in mems clothes. Good
rich noticed this, and communicating
his discovery to neighbors, the grave
was opened and the body found to be
gone. The matter was taken up by the
father OF the youth, and he found the
body of his son at Ann Arbor. Intense
excitement followed, and McNamee was
at once arrested, and is now 10 Jail at
Niles. He begged for double file Of
officers to protect him from violence.

ly dead were missed, and their friends
having instituted search, the mutilated
remains were found in the repository at
the Ann Arbor College. Further in.
vestigation revealed the horrible fact
that there was scarcely an unrobbed
grave in the cemetery.

A Bear Speech.


The "member from Barnard" VII
liam c. Danforth, is a gentleman wh'
loves good story aud knows how Z
tell one. Daring the latter part of thu
late session he convulsed the House by .
little speech, which he made at the re
quest Of member sitting near ano
whose pet measure was bear bill. The
bill proposed to increase the bounty FOL
killing bears, and to pay SO for the
first, SIT for the second, $40 for the
third, s21 for the fourth, s23 for the
fifth, and S25 for the sixth killed, and
the question was on its third rerding
Mr.. Danforth spoke as follows;
al have the honor to represent town
somewhat distracted by bears, and shall
ask of this House the passage of this
bill. From those members who have
never seen bear we shall expect no
sympathy; but from those who have we
expect aid. One of my constituents,
VINO IN Iudu Va SOhC INV, dhu @ shNSk
owner to some extent, kept his sheep up
on one of our mountain pastures, as de-
scribed in the bill before us. He had
heard rumors that bears were in the
neighborhood, and of the great destruc-
ton they were making; so he started
out, one morning, to look after his ia
vorIte flock, and went up the steep side
hill until he arrived nearly to the top,
when he met them all coming-l mean
the sheep, Mr.. Speaker, not the bears
but they were followed by bear, To
stem the torrent of those sheep, Mr..
Speaker was impossible, and my friend
soon lost his feet and over he went, and
over the man went the Sheppard over
the man went the bear. | hope the
House will bear with me a moment long
er, Mr.. Speaker. When my friend had
collected himself aud got upon his feet,
he made tracks up the hill, and the
bear, when he found who he had run
over, went the other way with all the
speed he could muster. And, Mr.. Speak.
err, that bear is still at large-and hope
will come within the six that this bill
proposes to catch. The bear idea of the
State of Vermont barely paying nomi-
nal bounty for the destruction of bears,
looks to me, Mr.. Speaker, bearish. )"
The House granted the bill a third
reading but refused to pass it. A pencil
sketch of the scene on the si6e-hill, the
sheep and the bear going over the Bar
nard constituent, soon appeared and Gre
ated not little amusement in Montpe-
lier.
