ZEN. r. Nj. GANG, well know

GEN. r. M. GANG, well known
throughout Kentucky, has had an ad-
venture. While buffalo hunting on the
Texas frontier, after killing seven fine
cows he attacked an old bull. His horse
was killed beneath him by the acct
dental discharge of his revolver, and as
the animal fell he was thrown over its
head directly toward the infuriated
buffalo, who, astonished at the boldness
of the charge, turned tail and left the
General in possession of the field.

just in time to brighten the recruits, and

ance and with vchemence. We were
perfectly amazed and thunderstruck.
For an instant we were bewildered,
and endeavored, as soon as we could
collect our thoughts, to single out
some of the shameless rascals, but
found it impossible in the din and
confusion to detect any one we knew.
To the credit of many, be it said, a
determined effort was made to drown
out the Kisses with shouts, yells,
whistling and stamping, and they
finally succeeded, though at times
the result seemed uncertain. There
was much noisy dissatisfaction after
wards, and not few expressed audi
bly, to us their disapprobation of the
unpatnotic demonstration, making
such remarks as these which we re.
call: cit is to bad" cit ought not

Such remarks as these were heard, -
they were about all we d,-and
it gives us some satisfaction to be
able to repeat them.
What have we to say to all this
The good people of the South, who
look upon the Union as the safe
guard Of their liberties, and who de-
sire a just and honest, while a loyal
and true administration of Govern
ment, must cut aloof from their pres
ent uncertain and unsafe moorlngs
and find anchor and harbor in the
bosom of the only safe and de
serving party of the country. The
Democratic party is too corrupt, toe
false, too disloyal to the principles
of our Government to correct itself
or carry on administration wisely
and justly: 1t only hopes to regain
power, and under the false and treach
erous cry OF "reform," that it may BE-
the better able to pull down and de
stroy.

TILDEN'S DISLOYALTY.
To The Editor of The Tribune,


CHICAGO, Oct. pa letter of the
18th INST, from my brother, r. Nj. A.
Barstow, of Burlington, VT, has the
following: 81 at once called on Gov.
Underwood and showed him youl
letter. He said he received great
many letters about this matter, and
referred me to the report of lis
speech in the Free Press of Aug. 25
He said he would stand by his speech
as reported there"
The speech was made at the grea,
Bristow meeting in Burlington, Aug
90, Gen. Brlstow leading, followed
by Gov. Underwood.
In the same copy of the Free
Press, the Hon. G. G. Benedict, edit
tor, says: "These avowals (of treason)
were made with the utmost explicit
ness by Samuel j. Tilden IN con.
versation with Gov. Underwood on
the piazza of a Saratoga hotel, near
the close of the war. We well re-
member hearing of them and of Gov.

and from other persons who heard
the discussion. Mr.. Underwood is
witness whose truthfulness will not
be questioned, and if the accuracy of
his testimony is called in question, it
can be corroborated by eye and ear
witnesses"
The passage in Gov. Underwood's
speech, frequently referred to in the
newspapers since, is in the following
extract given to the letter rs far as it
goes: "Of this doctrine OF a Federal
union of sovereign states, Samuel J.

that, and if it was his opinion. as

Straight Ahead and Roundabout,



If Mr.. Hayes wanted to say Gao
cidents will happen in even the best
regulated families" he would say
"Accidents will happen even in the
best regulated families" and you
would know what he meant; but Mr.
Tilden would probably say, at is be.
lieved by many honest and right
feeling, but possibly mistaken men
though more or less might be
weightily said both for and against
the Observation-Disclosures con,
functions OF cause and effect will
eventuate even in fircside circles ac-
customed to the most exact, exhaust
i've, elaborate and usufruct systems
of domestic dominion" Then you
would jump to the conclusion sthat
you had learned how he stood on
that subject, but as soon as you tried
to pen him there you would find that
he had blasted out He'll Gate paren-
theses here and there that fleet OF
political seventy-foprs could sail
through without scratching their
keels, when necessity required.

IT was scene for a painter. =
There were three of them-all gre
formers"-J. NJ. Griffith, Fred O'Don-
nell and Granny Mahoney, him of
the lovely temper. 1t occurred at
Independence and thence westward
to Jesup. Griffith had put himself
into Mahoney's hands for training
and information Immediately after
his nomination. Then he arranged
series of meetings under the per-
sonal auspices of the old Copperhead
patriarch, but he soon found that
even he could not carry such a load.
AS the trustees of the Quasqueton
church refused to permit Mahonev
TO speak therein but gave ready per-
mission to Griffith, the latter found
that he must unload. Fred O'Don-
nell was deputed 10 get the old man
home, but the old man wouldn't
bulge. He was the only man adver-
tised to ''speak with Griffith" and he
was sure that Griffith wouldn't fore
go the honor. Yesterday was the
day for their Jesup meeting-Maho-
ney's and his pupil, Gritiith's. Fred
exhausted his ingenuity in trying to
get the old man off home or out of
the way. 1t was Il day freight train
on which they were to 90 vest
Griffith watched and Fred watched,
and both schemed with the conduct
or to get the train off without the
old man. But the old patriarch kept
his eye on the train, while J. NJ. and
Fred lodged around the depot, be-
hind the tank house, between ware
houses, around lumber piles, and I'M
der the platform in order to give the
old man the slip. Then they wanted
the conductor to switch the car con-
tanning the ''lovely" human freight,
but this wouldn't do. Finally Maho-
ney was seen standing behind the
train; J. M. and Fred near the engine
on the 'otf" side. They jumped
aboard and signalled the conductor
to go. On arriving at Jesup and
alighting they were thunderstruck to
see the sweet, inviting face of the
old man coming forward from the
caboose at the rear. They were beat
en-they couldn't "shake" him.
This is no fancy sketch, but the sub
stantial truth.-Dub. Times.

Probably the greatest political
farce ever enacted in this congress
sional district was the Greenback con
ventlon held at Strawberry Point
last Tuesday. S. d. Spangler, stock
man, Buchanan county, was in the
chair. After many prellminaries of
a ridiculous character, Mr.. E. S. Gay
lord, farmer at Wards Corners, was
nominated for Congress and as he
seemed perfectly willing to be the
victim, but for outside influences
would doubtless have received the
unanimous vote. A strong delega-
ton of orthodox democrats were on
hand, headed by Mahoney, of the Du-
buque Telegraph, to capture the
Greenback vote for Griffith, and an
hour or more was taken up by the
chairman, who was not in sympathy
with the movement, to prevent Ma
honey from being heard. Every
time Mahoney attempted to speak
the chairman voted him out of order
and attempted to discuss the question
himself, and not until it was acceded
by universal reclamation could Ma.
honey be heard. He represented Mr..
Griffith as being In full sympathy
with the greenback principle, and
said he desired through him to OBJ.
tain the support of the greenback
men. He said that Griffith offered
to pay $500 out of his private re.
sources to help meet the expenses OF
the canvass. At this point an hon
est granger spoke up and said that
this was the very reason why he
wanted Gaylord nominated; because
he had no money to buy votes. Af
ter a stormy scene the convention
proceeded to an informal ballot. AS
everybody who was in sympathy
with the greenback movement was
invited to participate, the hat was
filled with ballots by the democracy
of Strawberry Point in less than two
minutes. The scene that followed
cannot be described. Everybody had
their steam up and it seemed as if
bedlam had broken loose. Two in
dependent greenbackers informally
laid hands on the ballots, and scat
tered them to the four winds, amid
the din of the music from the Straw
berry Point brass band. After an.
luther tumultous session, it was deci-
ded that every voter was to be
challenged, and unless he pledged
himself to vote for Cooper and Cary
that his vote would not be accepted.
At the next informal ballot the
names of voters were taken down,
and only twenty-four were registered,
many hungry democrat being turn.
ed away with his ballot between his
fingers. The result showed 25 votes
10 for Griffith and Is for GAYLORD.
After lengthy quarrel about the
odd vote, Gaylord was unanimously
elected by acclamation, and the
meeting broke up amid the widest
confusion.
The convention can in no way be
said to represent this district, as it
was made up mainly of Buchanan
county men and berry Pointers
1t is also said that the result was
worked up effectually by outside par
ties on the street while the conven
ton was in session. The democrats
though badly beaten, claim that the
nomination will result in their favor
Time will tell.

bloody days of a terrible civil war,
striving with you to put down the
most terrible rebellion the world has

THE Democratic papers are bowling
themselves hoarse at the Presidents
proclamation against the South Caro-
lima Ku-Klux and rife-clubs. They
call it usurpation, tyranny, Casarism,
bayonet rule, etc. They are especi.
ally vociterous at the order of the
War Department sending some
troops to the scene Of disturbance to
preserve the peace. They refuse to
recognize the fact that the President
has only acted in compliance with
the demand of the governor of South
Carolina. The Constitution gives
Gov. Chamberlain the right to call
on the President for assistance, and
the same instrument makes it the du-
ty of the President to furnish it.
But those TILDEN journals shut their
eyes to the law and the Constitution,
and below in unison against the
President, charging him with intro
ducing "bayonet rule" in South Caro-
lima, but never word escapes them
against the introduction of rifle-club
rule in that State. WADE HAMPTON
may organize rife clubs to carry the
election for TILDEN and Reform: and
it is all right in the eyes Of the New
York World and Sun, and Chicago
Times, and Springfield Register. 1t
Is all right to break up Republican
meetings by force ofsarms, to shoot
the Republican leaders, and surround
the polls on election day with law
less military companies, and kill or
drive away those Republicans who
refuse to vote for SAM TILDEN and
WADE HAMPTON. 1t Is dreadful
violation of the Constitution for the
President to send the Governor of
the State, on the demand of the lat
ter, some of the National police force
to protect life and preserve order,
and to secure to every man the right
to vote as he pleases. But according
to the logic Of the same Tllden or
gans, it is strictly constitutional for
the Confedrrates who surrendered to
the Union army and gave their pa
role oath to obey the laws, now to
resume their arms and military Or
ganization, and make war on the Re-
publicans of the State! When the
President issued his proclamation,
civil war had actually broken out in
South Carolina; the Confederate
"White-line" minority had taken up
arms to put down the Republican
majority and give the State to TIL
DEN and WADE HAMPTON by force.
The President ordered the belliger-
ents to dispense, and gave them three
days IN which to do it. His procla.
nation applies to armed negroes as
much as to armed Ku-Klux, and the
troops will dispense the former as
the latter. The President has simp-
ly performed his constitutional duty
in the interest of law and order, and
for that he is denounced by the TIL
DEN Reformers as tyrant and CE-
sAR!- Chicago Tribune.
