THE METZGER PILE.

oPeC7A@ Dtep1+c1 10 1HE 1Fa0uHE
DAvEEpoRT, 1a., Aug. "a wealthy resident
Of Holland in 1851 died, leaving large estates,
but no heirs on hand. The property was ap-
propriated in 1862 by William OF Orange. From
that time until the present the property
has been withheld from the proper
owners. The knowledge Of these facts
coming to the Prussian authorities, and Bis
marck taking lively interest in the rcstitu-
tion, proceedings have been commenced for its
recovery. Several Of the heirs emtgrated to
this country, and one Of the direct descendants
is Christian Metzger, OF Buffalo, this county, at
present working as q stone-mason. This heir
to share Of the Metzgcr estates has entered
his claim through leading. Davenport
who after sxami1ing the documentary
the service on Is per cent OF the recovered
estates, which it is said in the aggregate amount
to $1lt 600 The remaining heirs have also
employed legal assistance on the same terms,
and there is but little doubt that the sum will
be shortly added to the national Indebtedness
of Holland.

CHICAGO, Aug 81 am glad to see and to
say that, in my opinion, you have most fully
and completely answered the charge of the
Times, that THE TRIBUNE, previous to the st.
Louis Convention, spoke somewhat 1ayorably
OF Tildcn as an honest and able man,-and for
a.Dcmocrat-a pretty good sort Of ''reformer,' ~
in all probability the best man the party could
nominate. To every candid mind your answer
must be satisfactory. Why, we all thought so
before We knew much about the man. / am
sure that did !; and for several days after the
St. Louis Convention I told several OF
my Democratic friends and acquaintance
that it was the best nomination they could
have made. But, bless me! This only shows
how little we know Of mans real character
and history till he is nominated for office! or,
from what his friends say of him.
I am one Of the martyrs who went to Cincin-
natl in '72,-one Of the independents" or
Greeley Republicans, and of course felt
rather favorable towards good, Liberal-Reform
Democrat,-if such could be f0und1I,especially

able, honest, s'Frce-Trale" Democrat for
President, with Congress to back him, than

Madame RatazzI and Her New Book,

ft1Tse correspondence EfMphtc-
Madame Ratazzi paid of some Of her social
scores against Italian Court people In that Curl
GUS romance I have mentioned, ''Si .Tetais
Neine," which Is said to contain her version OF
her liaison with Victor Emmanuel and the reason
OF her marriage with his Minister. Some pas
sages In this preface to her new book seem to
hint at spicy political revelations. It has been
said that large sum Of money was offered her
by 'Scertain persons'' in Italy not to publish
some papers she held and not to tell all she WAS
able to disclose; and it is also said that tie
most confidential of these papers left BY
Ratazzi she has already given to the Italian Ar
chives for good qul p:o quo. The forth
coming book will prove this assertion either in
the Jea or nay. She says in the preface that
when she first put her hand to the task she
found she had to write the history Of people.
Then follows this fair social 4sten-struke II:

sr. PAUL, Mimi, Aug 5.-News by way Of
Bismarck is to the effect that Rain-in-the-F FACE,
accompanied by 23o lodges Of Indians from the
hostile camp, have arrived ut Standing Rock.
This Indian murdered trader OF Stanley's ex-
pedition in 1878, was arrested therefor by Capt.
Tom Custer, but escaped, and is said to have
cut the heart from Capt. Custer's body, and to
have fired the last shot at Gen. Custer.
An intelligent and reliable gentleman states
that though special effort was made On the part
of the Agent and the Indians at the issue Of
beef on Saturday to make q showing, still there
we're not 500 bucks present, while there should
have been over z, 600, from which it would seem
that large numbers are with the hostiles. There
are those who are well-inforrned who rate the
Sioux fighting force at q, 900, and believe there
are 10000 Well-armed warriors now in the field.

THE nAM-ER1cAN RACE.
Twas by the wayside near Southern town,
Ispicd sage beneath q tree reclining;
His old straw hat Was guiticss Of crown,
His pantaloons had less OF cloth than lining.
Addressing him about the latest news,
quickly found him, by his salutaton,
man of houndlesa and erroneous views,
And vast and various misinformation.
'tUpon some sncaking mission or other,
To sec how being cqualized and free
Agrees with him yon call your colorcd brother.
Extinction waits on him. with all his rights,
So freely given by your laws confoundedl
He'll keep attacking the dcfense1css whites
Till all the colored race are killed or wounded.
'.1n New Orleans, behold the lesson taught!--
When in convention certain backs assembled,
And in the halls the blacks bloodthirsty trembled;
Then through the windows, lobbies, outer gate,
BY the unarmed Caucasian race surrounded,
The Freedmen rallied IN their murderous hate,
And nineteen coored men were badly wounded.
.4ln Central Georgia, several months ago,
The sons OF Afric held Il loyal meeting,
And divers white men went to see the show
And give the speakers friendly Southern greet
But 10 When speaking had gone on spell,
And nlI the air with loyal words rcsonnded,
Tpon the hapless whites the negroes fell,
And nineteen colorcd men were badly wounded.

Where many Africans had come for voting,
The meTeSt handful OF the bigher race

Their knives and pistols mercilcssy used,
And fourteen colored men were badly wounded

Your boosted Washington. the placid city,
There were, in journals of the proper dates,
Correct reports Of what should move your pity:

Nlade on the unrcssting whites attacks.
And fifteen colored men were badly wounded.

Where Stokes WIS beaten at the polls BY Senter,
The savage negroes, armed from head to knee,
Seemed on fight than on their votes lntcnter;
To vent some petty, diabolic spite,
Upon the plea OF some vague charge unf0unded,
They turned in fury on single white,
And sixteen eolored men were badly wounded

And left me victim OF amazing doubt,
While he went onward in his ragged vesture.
