Never Seen q Woman.


Tho following is a part OF the ex-
pericncc Of Mrs, Helen Hunt in Col
orado:
"As we halted, three dogs came
bounding toward us, barking most
furiously. One Of them stopped
suddenly, gave one searching look
at me, put her tail between her legs,
and with pitiful yelp Of terror turn
ed and fled. | walked slowly after
her; she would look back over her
shoulder, turn, make one or two
lounges at me, barking shrilly, then
with the same yelp of terror run
swiftly away; at last she grew bragg
enough to keep her face toward me,
bnt continually backed away, alter
mating her bark of defiance with her
yelp of terror in a way that was IRE
sistably ludicrous. We were utterly
perplexed by her behavior until her
master, as soon as he could speak
for laughter, explained it. eyer see.
that ere dogs never seen woman
afore! She was reared in the woods
an / hain't never took her nowheres,
and that's st the fact ont; she dun
no what to make OF woman" 1t
grew droller and drollcr. The other
dogs were our good friends at once,
leaped about us. snuffed us, and lick
ed our hands rs we spo ke to them.

furionsly with warning and menace

WADE HAMPToS's bogus legisla-
turc, Of South Carolina, went through
the motions Of clccting United
States Senator on Tuesday, and the
result was worthy of them. M. c.
Butler, who melted, participated in
and defended the bloody Hamburg
massacre, is the man whom the De
mocracy of South Carolina have Sc
lccted as their fit and proper repre-
sentative in the Senate, 1t has been
positively asserted, that that in
human and atrocious affair was plan
cd by the leaders of the Democracy,
as the opening act in drama of
blood and intimidation, designed to
carry South Carolina for Tilden.
The Senatorship was no doubt the
price agreed upon as the reward of
the chief butcher, Butler, but FORUM
ately for the State and country,
llampton's fag end OF legislature
have not the power to carry out the
contract. The offer to place such Il
man in the United States Senate Is
an insult to justice and humanity.

A Speech by the President Elect,

Gov. Hayes has won the admira-
ton and respect of all parties by the
dignified and. manly course he has
maintained throughout the canvass,
and the thorough appreciation Of the
prophecies Of the situation shown in
all his public utteranccs. Last week
while on an official visit to Dayton,
Ohio, he was serenaded and respond
ed in brief speech, which we give
below. 1t contains the only allusion
Yet made in public 10y GOV. Hayes
with regard to the political situation,
and is marked by wisdom, patriotism
and discretion. Governor Hayes
said

longer than four or five minutes. |
am here on visit to your beautiful
city Of Dayton, not on any political
mission or to talk on any of the po-
litical questions of the remarkable
canvass that has Just been closed. |
understand these greetings here to-
night are not so much in honor of
myself as on account of the peculiar
interest that is felt in the present con
dition of the country. In the excite
mcnt that has peryaded before and
since the election, people of ardent
Compartments have said and done
things that are indiscrect, but as the
excitement subsidies we begin to re-
turn to oar better wisdom aud iudg-
ment. | have too much pride in the
saving common sense of the Amer-
can people to think they desire to see

Whatever may be the result at
which the lawful authorities arrive,

have sufficient respect and confidence
in the great majority Of the opposite
party to believe they will do the
same. | was glad to sec in a paper
this evening an article from the Lon
don Times respecting the condition
OF this country. Such state of at-
fairs, it said, could not occur any
where else in the world-the entire
area of the country agitatcd by the
uncertain issue of the political con-
flict, and yet not one shot fired, not
one man killed, no breaches OF tho
peace. We have seen in this centcn-
NAL year the wonders of our growth
displayed in the exhibition of agrl-
cultural and mechanical art, and we
are now afforded and opportunity of
giving to the world an example of
the nature of Republican govern
ment.

have referred without previous
thought to what must have occurred
to every one Of lis standing here, and

sincere acknowledgements of this ex.

\ SEEloIs scandal is abroad con-
corning the management Of the Mt
Pleasant Hospital of the Insane. /
few days since, Mrs. Shaver, one of
the patients in the Hospital, escaped
and tound her way to her home i'll
Calamus, Clinton county. She had
been in the hospital for two years,
and though insane, was not danger

at home it was discovered that she
was eacieate. a statement to that
effect was published, and emphati-
cally contradicted by DIR. Mark Ran
aey, the Superintendent of the insti-
tuition. But the Calamus authorities
now bring forward a reitera.ioD of
the former statement, and proofs of
its truth. This shows that a great
wrong and outrage has been commit
ted by somebody connected with the
Mt. Pleasant Hospital, and demands
the most rigid investigation

The revolutionary programme of
the otfice-expectant Democracy IN
the North is not meeting with much
endorsement ut the hands of their
Southern brethren. Whenever they
talk of "Wah" to inauguratc TIlden,
IN the presence of the Southern lead
crs at Washington, the latter are al
most sure to meet the suggestion
with the remark that the South has
had enough Of fighting, and that her
people DO not intend to renew civil
strife to decide who shall have the an.
polntment of the postmastcrs and
revenue officers during the next four
years. The copperhcaiS who have
always cringed to the Southern De
mocracy, arc just now coming III for
a good many kicks and cuffs and
snubs from their masters. \ GOOD

cratic Congressional caucus las.
week. Fernando Wood had made Il
long speech III which he rcproachcd
the Southern Democrats for want of
zeal in the present crisis. lie sad
to them: "You sit with folded hands
while time is slipping by. You have
done nothing; you will do nothing;
you are beaten" Much confusion
followed, when Ben Hill arose and

referring to Wood, said: "Perhaps
the gentleman is not aware OF the
conservative influence of a fifteen
inch shell with the fuse in process of

they had deceived their Southern
friends once, but could not do it
again; had cnticed them into war fit.

And yet we have no reply from Post
master Toman, how he could refuse to
take the hundred dollars from Cooley be-
cause he was honest, and yet can find it
within him to defend the Louisiana
frauds. Dubuque Herald

never cease to wonder why any jour
nalist should refuse bride. He

to decline tender Of cash, no mat

contained in the first part of the

charge that we defend frauds in
Louisiana or elsewhere, il is untrue.
1t is Pension-agent-expectant Ham,

Hon. SCoTT LORD, of New York
one of the fairest and most candid
Democrats in the house, is reported
to have said in private conversation,
few days since, that he was IN New
York when the Oregon infamy was
incubated, and that he entered pro-
test against it at that time. He
went on to say that he thought no
honest man would accept the Presi-
dency, if gained by such means, but
was told by Tilden and others, that
the Republicans were committing
frauds in the Returning Boards, and
this Oregon matter was designed to
beat them at their own game. Mr..
Lord still could not see the wisdom
or justice of it, and frankly said that
Tildcn could not afford to handicap
himself with the odium Of endorsing
such a transaction rs that of Gov.
Grover.

in our opinion, if the Republicans in

to evade the leadership of the Massa-

amply competent to impart it. The

ply to refrain from homage to reck-

When the facts as TO suit Of Hen
~ ii. Boody against Samuel J. Til
den, to recover s34,673,so grabbed
in Northwestern Railroad stockton
were made public, it was promptly
denied as a campaign lie, and the
public was assured that at the proper
time Mr.. Tildcn would fully explain
the matter, completely indicating
h,sself. The facts charged, it will
be remembered, were that Tilden,
who was director in the Northwest
ern Company, entered into pooling
arrangement with Body and others
whereby the stock Of the Galcna
Union Railroad Company was to be
bought up and nnloaded to the
Northwestern at handsome profit,
which Mr. Tilden was to share.
That is, as Director and Trustee for
for the stockholders of his Company,
Mr.. Tllden proposed to prostitute his
position to skin his stockholders in
the transaction for his own profit.
In the suit, Body further alleges
that when the transaction was com
plete Tildcn proceeded to skin his as
sociates Of the pool out of $4,000 Of
the profits. Now, the proper time
for Mr.. Tilden to st up his answer
seems to have come, for he has filed
it. And that answer, which was to
be his full yindication SO long prom
Used, is that the suit against him is
barred by tbs statute of limitations,
not that the facts alleged in Boo
dy's bill are not true, but that BOO
dy's claim Is SO old it can't be sued
on. The plea is, in short, precisely
such yiudication as was Twsed's,
"What are you going to do about it,"
1t is a confession of the fraud charged.

1t the President attempts the roe of

We would rather see Grant make him

One thing is certain: If Congress fails

will take the matter into their own hands
and settle it in short, sharp and decisive
manner, that will blanch the face of every

1t is fact, no less remarkable
than amusing and ridiculous, that
there is class of editors, peculiar to
the South, who really feel glow of
pride and satisfaction after having
gotten off such a precious mess of
bombast, as the above. They de-
light to thus "write with martial
hand" and taunt their enemies with
the license Of ink. They obey i'm
plicitly the injunction of Sir Toby
Belch. 'Lct there be gall enough
in thy ink, though thou write with p
goose-pen." One can imagine the
swagger with which the editor of the
Southern States went out among the
Okalonians, after the above delivery,
and the halo of conscious greatness
with which he accepted their con
gratulations and their invitations to
take something. No doubt the tyr
ant, Grant, will be much disturbed
by this index OF public opinion in the
Oklahoma neighborhood.
