The remark Of Governor Tilden
that "a wolf is at the door Of every
home 10 the land, gount and hungry"
is thus handsomely parsPhrased by
the Ogdensburg Journal
The wolf at the door Of erery home
in the land-gaunt and hangry-is
the wolf Of the Democracy, demand
ing to be fed. 1t is the same wolf
that for a century fed upon the flesh
and blood Of human chattles 10 the
South; the wolf that, being threatened,
1861 sprang with savage ferocity at
the throat Of the nation, and inflicted
wounds that have not vet been heal
ed; it is the same wolf that has de-
youred the substance Of the people Of
the city and State Of New York,
which drove timid men from the
polls, which invaded the halls Of JUS
tice and of legislation, and which
obeyed no voice except that Of its
keepers, Tweed and Tilden; il is the
wolf that stood guard, gaGnt, and
hungry and cruel, at AndersOnville;
which for fifty years surrounded with
mortal peril the life Of every person
in the South who would not paw
tribute to it, neither regarding age,
sex nor condition; it is the same iden-
teal wolf that pulled down Charles
Sumner in the Senate Of the United
States and left him stunned. bleeding,
mangled and almost lifeless; it is the
same wolf that took the life Of Lin
coin, brutally 10 the presence Of bis
wife and friends, aud plunged the na-
ton into morning; il il the same wolf
that, with bloody jaws and glaFing
feroeity, now interpOses between Re-
publieans and the ballOt-bOx in every
Southern State, and imparts to the
approaching political conflict ell the
tragic incidents that surround a life
and death struggle. The wolf Of
poverty and hunger may threaten the
homes Of few Of this country, but
the wolf that baunts every home 10
the land" is the wolf Of Democracy
gaunt and hungry.

Custer aud hi.er., nsunL

\ soldier who served thr,e Years
under General Custer, relates the fol-
lowing incident which was character
istie o. his desperate and determined
manner:
"lt was Eve or six years ago that
we had Eight with the Chippewas
on the Washita river. the expedition
being led by Custer For long time
the General had with him on the
plains three magnificent Scoth gray
hounds, by which be set great store,
and Tor which be would accept no
price. Twenty miles from the Chip
pewas' village We struck the trail. II
was in the evening and before pro-
ceeding to march, Custer ordered that
the grayhounds be placed in tie wag-
ons, which were not TO accompany
the detachment This was done. We
compeneed our march and found the
village on the Washita at midnight.
the Inhabitants being wrapt in slum-
ber, and all about the camp silent,
Custer concluded TO wait until day
light to make the charge, and after
commanding silence all aljng the line
sat upon his horse like statue, wait
ing for the first indications Of dawn.
While sitting thus, slight pattering
on the ground attracted bis attention,
and upon looking down be perceived
through the gloom cue OF his hounds
eroUehing at his horses feet, the dog
having escaped from the wagon aud
followed his master. The Indian vii.
lage was swarming with dogs, and
Custer knew it. lie also knew that
if his hound emitted the slightest
yelp or bark il would agitate the
entire canine force Of the camp. put
the Indians on their guard, and
probably Illustrate the object Of the
expedition. Slipping gently from bis
horse. be grasped the dogs throat
with both hands, and slowly aud
quietly eboked him to death. So
silently and quickly was it done that
in the gloom that prevailed, only a
few soldiers standing in the imme-
date vicinity, perceived the desperate
action
With the exception Of his last 6ght
this engagement on the Washita was
one of the most desperate ever fought
on the plains, aud resulted in a grand
victory for the Creeping Panther"
the name by which Custer was known
among the Indians"
