The Tiger the King OF Beasts.

Samuel Houghton, author of a work
on "Animal Mechanics" writes to
Nature of the relative strength of the
lion and tiger: II have proved that
the strength of the lion in the fore
limbs is only SO 0 per cent of that of
the tiger, and that the strength of the
hind limbs is only 60.5 per cent of
that of the tiger. / may add that five
men can easily hold down lion while
it requires nine men to control tiger.
Martial also states that the tigers
always killed the lions in the amphi-
theatre. The lion Is in truth, preten-
tious humbug, and owes his reputation
to his imposing name, and he will run
away Ikea whipped cur under circum-
stances in which the tiger will bodily
attack and kill

from Norristown to tho Far West, each with
q dollar and revolver in bis pocket Before
the end of the first day, luckily. one had shot
another in the neck with the revolver. and
they were sent back homo before they had
fairly entered on the short cut. Their inten-
tion when they started was to live by shoot

hay stacks. The Mayor of Philadelphia, it Is

next year if he could Danish certain plays

GRdNT ABSOLUTE.
Republicans

A great political party is in supremest peril
il not absolutely in the article of death. Its
leaders some of them men of brains and fore
sight and sagacity, but many of them stOlid,
and blind to events and their meaning, and
only capable of the pettiest of partisanship in
their action, sit looking in each others faces
and twirling their thumbs while they wait for
something to happen, some official report"
or fuller Details" or "the other side Of the
"story," or something or other, they know
not what. The party founders about; the
people throughout the country are rising up
with fierce denunciations Of its infamous
policy and the destructive tendency Of its
acts; the sullen roar of people who have
not been used to sit quiet under usurpation
and aggression may be heard by the men
in power the stubborn Silent Man in the
White House sets his teeth and announces his
purpose to sustain his military favorite and
support the scOundrels who have used the
Federal army to keep down the State they
have throttled and robbed, and there sits
Congress. Not leading statesman of them
has so far dared lift up so much as a wall of
regret at the high-handed outrage upon q
sovereign State. The country waits, the
misses of the Republican party wait for a
Man, for some one to step out in front Of
the party in power, and on behalf of hundreds
of thousands of honest Republicans to say in
clear ringing phrase, "This is not Republican
"ism; but Grantism. The President is not
"the Party"
| And no one stirs. James G. Blaine. from
| the Speakers chair looks only through the
| Avenue to the mansion at the end. He has
seen his party wrestling heavily with signs Of
weakness; seen it go down in the dusty
struggle and its adversary uppermost. He
knows that President Grant has put such bur-
dens on the party that it cannot stagger un-
der, and he knows-none better--that this
crowning outrage upon an oppressed and
plundered State has reused tide of public
indignation that no party can withstand. And
he must know that in this state of things the
Avenue lengthens to bis gaze, and the White
House tskes Qn 1e misty shape Of q half

ger in tho House of Representatives. Boyd
received e4,5OO. and Hersey Oil, 900. Here,was
q snug fortune gwen to two men holding
mental positions in the House. They both
swore the money was given to themselves as
"a gratuity that they did not divide with
any one else. The only service they claimed
to render for their enormous wages was to SOC
"whom Col. Bee talked TO-" petty bit of
espionage for which they would have been
richly paid with dollar or two.
This ia clear case of contempt, but we DO
not quite see what the Committee can do
about 1t. OF course these men are insulting
Congress with transparent lies. But If they
hold firmly together and persist in their fic-
tons, grotesque and ridiculous as they are,
they may be able to shield their principals
entirely. The thumb-sc screw has been abol-
ished with advancing civilization. and there
are no means left TO make rogue tell the
truth. But il the investigation should pause
here, it would be useful in showing how COM
pact and well-knit is that Washington lobby
whose existence has been 30 recently denied,
and what urgent necessity there is for thor
ough cleansing of House of Representatives
whose members go into partnership with their
doorkeepers and messengers in the business OF
theft and perjury. ..p

PEARLS BEFORE SWINE.

On Monday last Mr.. Carl Schurz made o
speech in the Senate of the United States
which finally placed him without question at
the head of the orators Of that body. 1t shed
more credit upon the State of Missouri than all
the speeches of all the Senators, with perhaps
one exception, whom Missouri has ever sent to
Washington. 1t was the strongest, ablest, most
brilliant defense of Conservative principles and
the rights of the South which has ever been
heard in either house of Congress since the
war ended. 1t made him, or at least showed
him to be, the most valuable man in the country
at this moment to oppose the lawless tendencies
of the Administration in the Southern States,
and to work for the recognition of their rights
to self-government. There was not State in
the Union but might envy Missouri her Senator.
His term expires on the Fourth of next
March. The Legislature now in session in
Missouri has the high privilege, il it will, of
rejecting him. The majority of that Legisla-
ture agree with every word Of that magnif-
cent exposition of principles with which Mr..
Schurz on Monday gshned the cordial admira
tion of the country. But his name is not
mentioned or thought of ut Jefferson City for
reelection. The names which the Missouri
legislators are weighing and squabbling over
are Coekerel. Phelps, Reynolds, Hall. Stephens,
aDd Woodson.

appointment to the head Of the Canal Com
mttee instead of Mr.. Davis, considering the
charges that have been made against the
former and the influences that have been
working against the latter is apparently inde-
fensible. The position in which this appoint

New-York tribune., 1875-01-13

So far from subsiding, the storm of popular
indignation against the interposition of Fed
eral troops in the organization of the LOuisi-
ana Legislature gathers strength each day.
The whole subject of Federal and State
rights is concisely but ably treated in
the annual message of Gov. Joel Par
ker to the Legislature Of New-Jersey, and
the Governor denounces the NewOrleans out
rage in fitting terms. The Pennsylvania House
of Representatives adopted "a dignifed but
emphatic protest by strict party vote, the
Republicans in that body as in the Senate of
New-YOr not having the courage to array
themselves against the Administration even on
an issue of such vital importance. Gov.
Hardin of Missouri alludes to the subject
in his inaugural address, declaring that
the outrage has given to republican institu-
tions the most alarming shock they have ever
received. The Boston indignation meeting is
to be held on Friday night. and the call there
for is receiving the signatures of influential
ReDublicans
