bridges were all gone, at each
stream the elephants took fresh
enjoyment of their liberty. At no
time were they obstinate O. disc.
bedient, but seemed to fully real
lie the situation. On arriving at
Des Moines railway, cars had to
be procured, which was not easily
done, as ordinary cars are too low.
Some were finally found which
were about an inch higher than
the tallest elephants back. They
were brought alongside and the
platform properly placed, when
Jack noticed that it was a strange
car, he seized the door frame with
his trunk, gave it a vigorous shake,
then tried the floor. Satisfied that
it was strong, he marched slowly
In the car, placed himself length
wise, gave rocking motion and
bumped his back. A bolt over
head hit his back, and he march
ed straight out of the car. "It's
no use," said the keeper, she
won't go back there again" The
ribs which support the roof were
removed, the elephant closely
watched the operation. When
this was done, Jack went in,
swayed himself, rocked the car,
bumped his back, found every
thing all right, trumpeted his sat
isfaetion, and went to eating.

a Democratic opinion

A correspondent of the st. Joseph
Gazette (Democratic,) writes from
Topeka a very interesting and
graphic description of the scenes
and incidents connected with the
late Republican State Conyention.
Of the Republican candidate for
Governor, this correspondent says
"Gov. Geo. Il. Anthony made a
very favorable impression on the
Republican party by his speech at
the Topeka ratification meeting.
Although temperance man in his
personal practice, and on principle,
Gov. Athony told me in an inter
view, that he is and always has
been utterly opposed to prohibition.
He believes in the force ofexample,
anil in moral suasioD, but not in
legislation. He considers legisla-
lation on the subject of temperance
in drink or the sale of drink lust as
onerous and unjust as legislation
would be that should prohibit the
sale of certain groceries or dry
goods"

their money upon this question. Has

appreciated, could the Government,
for that reason have refused to pay its
creditors in silver? And Is the credi-
tor, because we have no more silver

or the Government, at liberty to re-
fuse it? The Government should be
held strictly to its obligation as ''nom-

privilege, but it does not give them, in
justice or equity. the right to refuse
silver and demand gold, because since
the contract entered into the manipu-

former and appreciated the latter.

A Patriotic bury.

Mr.. Charles NJ. Lee was q we'll
known criminal lawyer of Roches-
ter, New York.
He summed up a case with a SUI
perfuity of gesture and an affiuence
of perspiration that would have as
tonished even John Graham in his
vehement and melting moods.
Lee was defending an old revo-
lntionary soldier for passing a forg-
ed promissory-uote for some thirty
dollars.
There was hardly the faintest
doubt of his guilt, but Lee contriv-
ed to get before the jury the fact
that the accused, when a daredevil
of nineteen, was one of the storm
ing party that followed Mad An
thony Wayne in his desperate as
sault upon Stony Point, and helped
to carry the wounded General into
the fort during that terrible fight.
In summing up, Lee, after getting
over the ugly points of the evidence
as best he could, undertook to carry
the jury by escalade, on the ground
of the prisoners revolutionary SER
vices.
He described in graphic language
the bloody attack on Stony Point,
the lmpetuous Valor of Wayne, and
the daring exploit of his client, and
wound up with this stunning inter
roggatory:
''0entlemen of the jury, will you
send to the state prison, for passing
a contemplate thirty-dollar forged
note, an old hero of three score and
ten, who, in his youth, cheered the
heart of his country, in the dark
ness of the revolution, by storming
Stony Point2"
This was poser.
The chins of some of the Jury
Quivered, but the foreman, a bluff
farmer, put on an air which seemed
to say, that storming Stony Point
was good thing enough ia its line,
but what had that to do with pass
ing this forged note?
After being out q couple of hours
the jury returned to the court room,
when the clerk went through the
usual formula:
Gentlemen of the jury, have you
agreed upon q verdicL?"
eve have"
s.Do you find the prisoner at the
bar guilty or not guilty &"
''Not guilty, because he stormed
Stony PointI" Numbered the stall
wart foreman, who, it was after
ward learned, was the last TO come
to an agreement.
The audience applauded, the crier
raped to order, the district attor-
ney objected to the recording Of the
verdict, and the judge cent the jury
out again, telling the foreman, in q
rather sharp tone, that they must
find an unconditional verdict of
guilty or not guilty.
Aftep an absence of a few min
utes, they retured, when the fore
man rendered a simple verdict of
not guilty, adding, however, as he
dropped into his seat:
"It was q good thing, though,
Judge, for the old revolutionary cuss
that he stormed stony Point"

Election The sOu.l,.

Before adjourning, the House of
Representatives, on motion of Mr..
Lord, Democrat of New York,
passed the following preamble and
resolutions by vote of all men,
bers in the affirmative except two
southern democrats:
WHEREAS, 1t is asserted that the
exercise of the right of suffrage is
in some of the States, notwith-
standing the efforts of all good cit
liens to the contrary, resisted and
controlled by fraud, intimidation,
and violence, so that in such cases
the object of the amendment is de-
feated; and
WHEREAS, All citizens, without
distinction of race, class, OR color,
are entitled to the protection con-
ferred by such article.
RESOLVED, By the House of Rep
resentatives, That all attempts by
force, fraud, terror, intimidation, or
otherwise to prevent the free exer-
else of the right of suffrage in any
State should meet with certain, con-
dign, and effectual punishment, and
that in any case which has hereto
fore occurred or that may occur in
width violence or muir der has been
or shall BE- committed by one race
or class upon the other, the prompt
prosecution and punishment of the
criminal or criminals in any court
having jurisdiction is imperatively
demanded, whether the crime be
one punishable by fine or imprison-
ment or one demanding the penal
ty of death.
A few days thereafter the Secre-
tary of War issued an order to Gen.
Sherman reciting the above resolu-
tons, and directing him to:
Hold all available force under lis
command not now engaged in sub
DUNG the savages of the Western
frontier in readiness to be used up
on call or reQuisition of the prop
er legal authorities for protecting
all citizens, without distinction of
race, color, or political opinion, in
the exercise of the right to vote as
guaranteed by the Fifteenth amend
ment, and to assist in the enforce
ment of certain, condign. and effect
ual punishment upon all persons
who shall attempt by force, fraud,
terror, intimidation, or otherwise
TO prevent the free exercise of the
right of suffrage as provided by
the law of the United States, and
have such force distributed and sta
toned as to be able to render
prompt assistance in the enforce
ment of law.
The promptness of the admins
tration in thus carrying into effect
the democratic House resolutions,
ought to be approved by every 10y
al democrat in the country.

Attention has been directed to the
declaration in Mr.. Tilden's letter of
acceptance that the interest on the
public debt is payable in gold. The
statutes have been carefully exam
ined by Senators and Representa-
lives, and no authority is found by
them for any loan, the principal or
interest of which is payable exclu-
sively in gold. Coin ia the term
used on all occasions. Senator
Sherman, the Chairman of the FL
nance Committee, who has been
consulted, says that no law has ever
been passed binding the United
States to pay in gold, but, on the
contrary, both principal and interest

EIHden.

The pretence that Samuel j.
Tilden had any hand in the over
throw of the Tammany-Tweed
ring is negatiYed by the fact that
Fllden was a. the head of the
ring. From 1866 down to the
overthrow OF the ring Tilden
was chairman of the Democratic
State Committee. It was his du-
ty to appoint the Executive Com
mittee, and he did appoint it,
making Tweed a member of it
every year. In 1868 he consulted
with Tweed as to the best method
of comprising sufficient frauds in
New York city to overcome Re
publican majorities in the rural
districts, and sent out his famous
circular directing Democrats to
report to Tweed. Tweed did the
rest; that is to say, stuffed $4,000
to 10000 votes into the ballot
boxes in the city, and so carried
the electoral vote for Seymour.
Of this monstrous crime Tilden
is as guilty before God and man
as the depraved Tweed. AS Til
den invariably appointed Tweed
on the Democratic State Execu-
tive Committee, so Tweed, as the
ruler of Tammany, invariably APP
pointed Tilden q "Sachem," or
member of the governing body
of the society. In tie list for
1870 we find the following names:
William NJ. Tweed, Samuel j. Til
den, Peter B. Sweeney, Richard
B. Connolly. and Thomas j. Fields.
Tweed, Sweeny, Connolly and
Fields are fugitives from justice,
and Tilden is the reform Gov.
OF New York, and the Democratic
"reform" candidate for President.
When Tweed ruled Tammany the
city delegates to Democratic State
conventions were chosen by the
Tammany Societv-thati is to saw
by Tweed. In the list for 1869
we find the names of William NJ.
Tweed and Samuel j. Tilden side
by side. In the list for 1870 we
find the following: William M.

B. Connolly and Thomas C. Fields.
