his horse and took one Of them by the tail
when it suddenly arose and attacked him
The steer put one horn in his body and badly
mutilated his rear extremity. He stood il
like hero, however, for after repeating a
few passages from profane history, he got on
his horse and drove them about mile and
a quarter further when two of them laid
down and died. He paid 1920 for the pair
and said he would not sell them for $50

wounds were not fatal lie Is now better, we

There are few men OF any prominence III

seen and are more or less acquainted viii
Lew. Steward, the Democratic nominee ioi
Governor of Illinois, and there IS not one o.
them but will heartily endorse the following
from the Springfield itegister:
Some of the republican papers of this state
are assailIng Hon L. Steward, the democratic
candidate for governor, as "a swearing 0ld
vulgarian," and "the most profane and i'll
hammered man in the state" We have seen
Mr. Steward and Conversed with him, and
know that he is a gentleman, man of man
ners, of pure conversation and clear ideas
and we know that those who assert the con.
trary are deliberate falsifiers. But the hypo.
crisy, as well as the ialsehood of this attack
on Mr.. Steward, is quite apparent. The re-
publican party elected Richard Yates COVER.
nor, and afterwards United States senator,
and the grave now shields his tailings and
vices from mention. The same aggregation
of political vllainy elected r. j. Oglesby 10
the same office, and his conduct in private,
as we'll as his language on the stump, Is a dis
grace to the state, and fair specimen OF re.
publican morals and manners.

"Sillas," of Smoky Row, was on the rampage
yesterday morning. She went into the black
smith shop on Clinton st. and said, Sal, you
call me 10y" "Yes," said Sal. Then Sillas
hit her rap over the head with wagon spoke.
Sal spun around two or three times and then
doubled up into a corner. Then Sias rose up
in her wrath and went for Pete, and laid him out.
Another freedman then "took hand" and
was laid aIuong the cinders. Then Silas sighed
for more damages to conquer. The colored troops
fought nobly and all is quiet till "'nodder time"
slllas has received the tiattering praises of the
pugilistic fraternity, who tell her ito 90 in, and
wipe the floor with them again." and war Is ex-
pected again soon.

Last year Nevada produced 75,OOO, 900 bull.
lion, two-thirds of which was silver. This
year that State will produce 500, 900, 600,
principally silver. California will produce
about $25,000000, principally gold. Utah
will contribute S15,000,000, and Colorado,
SlO,0OO,0OO, aggregating total yield from
the Pacific Coast OF about $3.50, 100000 only
about 40 per cent. of which will be gold
This shows material increase IN the per
centage of the gold production, which will
have a tendency to equalize the prices Of the
two metals. IT the Government shall restore
the silver dollar to the original position with
the corresponding rates of the production OF
the two precious metals, there is no good rea
son TO suppose that silver will not appreciate
to its former value, or very nearly so.-Er.

Republican papers are now seriously
charging against Gov Tilden the heinous
crime Of being such an able lawyer that his
clients frequently paid him for his services
in a single important case 100000 Nobody
is like to ever accuse Hayes of getting such
fabulous fees for the best of reasons that he
has not proven himself worthy of liberal
hire in any vocation. Tllden is the embodi
ment Of brains and energy, Hayes is no &C
count, fourth rate lawyer who with all his
opportunities never yet distinguished himself
in law, politics or the army. Tilden has al.
ways been at the head of the heap, Hayes at

PITTSBURGH "A, Aug. y 1870.
Editors OttdpG Free Truder-I have trav
eled around a good deal here and find the
universal Political sentiment in this state 70
be, hurrah for Tilden. " Daily the democracy
is gaining strength. The independents have
generally pledged themselves to support
Tllden knowing and realizing that they cannot
accomplish anything by themselves
The working classes are unanimously in
favorof Tllden and cannot be influenced by
either bride or threat. They have gained too
much knowledge and experience of the pres.
ent existing power and have no desire TO re-
main tools and slaves of government officers
and capitalists any longer.
One half of the old and honest republicans
have asserted their preference for Mr.. Tilden
and will vote for him, feeling assured he will
do all in his power 10 bring about reform,
and once more place our country Oh solid

licsn majority, will this time give good
tally for Tilden and HeBdrcks. Marx ~hat

When are we to have the letter of accept

Tilden took just two weeks more than
Hayes and one week less than Wheeler to
prepare his letter CT acceptance. Then there
is allowance to be made for the difference in
the letters-Hayes' being mere insipid re
cital of commonplace, while Tilden's is
strong, positive, trenchant state paper. The
anxiety of the republicans to see Tilden's
letter Is very much like that of the man who
went to hunt the grizzley. He was the wors,
scared man in California when he found him

The base ball fever certainly is reviving in OF

was no great excitement apparently, yet when
the game began AS many as at least 200 people
from Ottawa were upon the ground. These were

Marscilles at the bat From the start, fine play
ing was exhibited, and the excitement increased
as the game progressed. 1t is impossible from
want of space to detail the progress of the game,
but from the very start the Marseilles Browns
led; and the betting, of which there was great
deal, was two to one in their favor. Yet the
struggle was hard one and the Browns won
only through luck, as it were,
There were many errors on the part of both
sides, but two or three errors, a bad throw, a
'muffed" fly, and bad running during the eighth
and ninth innings lost the game to Ottawa. 1t
was, Notwithstanding the multitude of errors, a
fine game-one of the very best games Ottawa
has ever been engaged in, and while they were
beaten, they had reason to be proud of their re-
