BOSS TWEED.

The Ottawa Republican, seems 10 be I'M
mensely exercised about Boss Tweed, whom
it belabors fearfully, from no other apparent
motive than the exhleration arising from the
safety Of kicking a man that is down ana
has no friends. There are, however, various
peculiarlties abou. Tweed case that natural
" make him an object of interest as well as
lofty contempt to the small radical politician
whose chief delight consists in toadying to
Grant. Tweed was in his day prominent
democratic politician, but when he followed
the multitudlnous republican examples
around him and went to stealing pubic
money, he very unlike the republican
thieves whose example he undertook to ape
fell INTO the hands Of democratic courts ano
authorities, and was brought to grief. HaC
he been radical politician and had radl
cal president, radical congress ard courts
to deal with, like Boss Shepherd, the saint!
Howard, Brother Harlan, Brothern.law Ca
sey or any Of that long illustrous list of treas
ury thieves, Tweed would have Jared wei
enough; but in the hands Of the democratic
authorities of New York, as we have said
he found peculation an exceedingly hard roaC
to travel.
In trying, however, to fix the blame fol
bis temporary release lpon somebody, the
RepuJljcan is curiously and ludicrously in
consistent. One day it gets hold OF the Inter
ocean, and thereupon, initiating that hgl
authority, Immediately proceeds to belabol
the New York Court of Appeals as the author
of the "iniquity" Thus we read in the Re
plLticdH OF June 18th:
The Court of Appeals of New York hav,
released Mr. Tweed, statesman" witAou
any condition whatever! Governor Tilder
pardons Ingersol, and the Court of Appeals
discharges Tweed. Tweed is a democratic
statesman; Ingcrsoll Is democratic smal
fry politician; Tilden is the democratic Gov
ernor of New York, and five out of the seven
Judges of the Court of Appeals are democrats
dyed in the wool. Sanford E. Church, Chic
Justice, Is q democratic demagogue of tn
worst stripe We assume that the decision
is wholly technical and that different dc
clsion, supported by equally valid arguments
might have been arrived at.
But by June Gath the Republican has ha,
an opportunity to read some other radca
papers on the subject, with different axes t
grind, and so it falls in with them and unsay
its utterances OF the week before, as follows
We direct the attention Of those newspaper
in Illinois which have recently been howlin!
about the arbitrary and tyrannical processe
of the courts to the calm, dignitied, and dc
cent comments of the New York papers Of
the decision of the Court of Appeals releasing
Boss Tweed. There is not apparently on
editor in the State who impugns the motive
of the Court, or doubts its competency 10 dca
with the legal questions involved.
AS specimen of Cullcn'Sappian consis
ency the above possesses no novelty; yet
must be somewhat perplexing to the reader
of that sheet to know whom its editors reall
wish to objurgate for the release of Twee
and what they think of the New York Coul
of Appeals anyhow.

TIE NORTH CARoLINIANs.-This celebrated
troupe of colorcd vocaists are engaged by the
Methodist society to give concert in their
church next Monday evening, June 2oth. We
have no hesitancy in recommending this troupe,
of We have noticed them spoken as in the highest
terms by exchanges from all parts of the coun-
try. We learn they are unlike the Tcnesseeans
and the other college companies, in being uned-
ucated. Every one of them was reared in slavery
and their habits were formed before they were
liberated, hence this entertainment is more nat
ural and a better representation of slave char

The Pacific Branch Permanently Estab

Since the first visit of DR.. H. r. Alle1
(the founder of the National Surgical In
stitute) to this coast, nearly two years ago
it has been the intention of the institute
to establish a Branch in San Francisco
The subsequent visits of other Surgeon.

to strengthen the project. After the ex.
penditure of much time, labor and money
in preparing instruments, machinery. etc
the Pacific Branch is at last permanently
established, and will be open for the re-
ception of patients by the middle of this
month. For the present, and until further
notice, the business will be continued at
their old building, No. 319 Bush street,
between Kearny and Montgomery. The
machinery for the Swedish movement and
vacuum cure: Gslvanic and Electrical APP
paratus, and for giving the Electro Their
NAL, Turkish, Vapor and other baths, has
all been received from the East, (wherc it
was manufactured in the Institute ma
chine shops), and is rapidly being placed
in position. DR.. j. NJ. Hinkle, one of the
oldest and most successful surgeons of the
Institute, associated with Dr. Thos Mayor
and a corps of skilled assistants, are al
ready in San Francisco, and will remain
there permanently in charge of the Branch
Institute; consequently no further ques-
tons need be asked or fears apprehended
concerning the permanency and pro-
ticiency Of the Pacific Branch.
DR.. Allen will visit the Institute in San
Francisco on the Goth of this month, and
remain until the 18th of May following,
during which time he will be pleased to
see all the old patients now under treat
ment, and as many new ones as possible

The Right Kind of q Bow,

Over fifty years ago, youth working
on farm asked his father to give him
money enough to buy gun. The old
man could not spare it, but the boy, moth.
ing daunted, found an old piece Of iron
about the place, and in the course of
time contrived to make gun barrel out
of it with the very meagre facilities afford
ed by country blacksmith's shop. He
had not the materials to make lock and
stock, so he walked to the nearest town
and traded for the necessary attachments,
and was encouraged by the smith for
having made so good shooter; this gave
him the ambition to make another; so he
went to cutting out grindstones from the
native rock to raise money for gun ma
terias, and in a short time there was a
considerable demand for guns of his
make. During the French war with Prus-
STA he was called upon to furnish guns
for the army, and in less than eight
months he made and delivered to the
Government Of France rifles of partic-
ular pattern, costing S5,00O,000, which
amount was duly paid. The same man
furnishes rifles now for the United States,
South America, Rome, Spain, Egypt and
Japan. The farmers boy who wanted a
gun is Eliphalet Remington, Ilion, N. Y.
His mandatory covers four acres of
ground, and he employs 1000 men. Not
satisfied with this achievement he has re-
Gently completed sewing machine, which
is reported to be quite success. This is
the type of boy who, when there is not
a way, makes a way for himself.
