cod Nick" about the only colored vot-
er in Independence, cast his ballot for
Griffith. Nick is losing faith in the Re
publicans He says that the Republicans
promised to be fathers to the colored peo-
pie, and got them to put their money into
the Freedman's Bank and they stole it all.
Nick don't like that kind of protection.
There are thousands of Just such "Nlcks"
in the South, and they voted the Demo
cratic ticket at the late election Con-
sercatice.
This is a trfling matter, but it Is just
as well to have it stated truthfully. So
far from ''Old Mic" losing faith in the Re
publican party, he is one of the staunch-
est Republicans in town. He was enthus-
iastc for Hayes. Taking advantage of
this, prominent Democrat in town offer
ed to vote for Hayes if mic" would vote
for Griffith. With the idea of gaining a
vote for the Republican electoral ticket,
"Nic" accepted. When too late, he saw
the trap he had got into, and though it
went terribly against the grain, "Nic"
had too much honor to go back on his
word. One OF the amusing, yet disgust
ing, spectacles of election day, was half a
dozen of the Bourbon Democracy, the
regular old Negl ophobic sort, marching
the old darkey up to the polls with their
arms about his neck. Not one of ''just
such Nicks" voted the Democratic ticket
in the South, unless pursuaded SO to do by
the open muzZle of a White League pis-
toll.
A YOUNG gentleman of this city conclu
ded he would take few hours recreation
IN the shape of duck shooting last Tues
day afternoon, and accordingly procured
the necessary implements, gun. boat,
dog, etc. and started up the river. On
his way back, he spied flock of ducks
in the river, and landed on an island to
get shot at them. After he had shot
he came back to where lie had left his
scat, and discovered to his horror that
the boat was some rods away and float
ing Down the river What to do he didn't
know 1t was rapidly growing dark, and
the prospect of a cold night on desoate
island, he did not relish bit. On the
other hand, the water around the island
was beginning to freeze, and he was not
at all fond of a bath among the cold dark
waves But there was no help for it, SO
in he plunged, and after considerable
tloundering overlook the boat and climb
ed in nearly frozen. A lively pull at the
oars served to warm him up some, and
fortunately no harm is likely to come of
the adventure. He will probably look
to his fastenings the next time he leaves
a boat under like circumstances.

LADY WASHINGTON RECEPTIoN.-The
Lady Washington Reception, given by
the Ladies of the Baptist Church in Kings
Opera House last Wednesday evening, is
conceded by all to hayc been grand
success, in all particulars. The ladies
were not without some misgivings as to
the financial success of the scheme, but
long before the close of the entertainment
their fears had been allayed by the pros
pect of large audience. Around the
sides of the Hall were placed thirteen
booths or pavillions, representing the
thirteen original States, each containing
a table and four chairs, where, by paying
IS cents, the hungry visitor could obtain
a good supper. The tableaux were first
rate, and were rendered in good style, es
pecially the one called "The Republican
Court" The net receipts of the enter
tainment are estimated at 800. The ladies
desire to return sincere thanks to all those
of our citizens who have helped them in
this venture, and to assure them that their
liberal patronage is fully appreciated.
A GOOD story comes from Quasqueton
concerning somewhat prominent Dem
ocratic politician of that village. The
individual to whom reference is made has
in marked degree the characteristics of
his class. namely, large capacity for the
consumption of whiskey, and habit of
profanity. 1t is told of him that the
night OF the election, being pretty full of
the ardent, he retired to his stable, and
dropping on his knees, delivered himself
in this wise: "Now, o Lord, if you will
only count Tilden in this time, will
promise not to drink drop Of whiskey
or swear another oath as long as live. y
The circumstance is worthy of note as
affording the only real promise of ere
form" to result from Tilden's election,

Mr.. M0rrison's Tariff Bill.

Mcrrison's tariff bill has excited much
comment, and may help the Democrats to
turn discussion in q different direction.
The bill has been in preparation for several
weeks. Morrison has had the aid of David
A. Wells, an official of the treasury. and of
Pearce Nero 1ant Of the New York World
1t is the purpose Of the Democrats to make
this bill deinitive policy, to force it
through the House, and to compel the Re
publican Senate to pass or reject it. From
what can be learned of the real wishes of
the Democratic leaders they hope that the
Senate will IT ject. Its rejection, they think,
would inure TO their own political advan-
tage. 1t is believed that it will secure the
support of Western and Southern Demo-
Gratis, except some from North Ohio and
Michigan, and the intention is to force it
thu Dug as party measure.
Pennsylvania Democrats are furious and
threaten serious trouble. They say il is
equivalent to the Den ocracy abandoning
their State presidential contest. The coal
men of Maryland are also Disguised and
they declare it will give Western Mary
land again to the Republicans. The Allan
tic coast Republican Senators who have ex-
anined the bill say that it is designed en-
tirely for campaign purposes, and has been
prepared without any expectation that it
will become law. 1t has, they saw
enough OF the recOmme ndations of the
President and Secretary Bristow to make it
popular with the party in the West. They
think the bill is intended only as text for
speeches Washington Correspondent CHI

The Conviction of Mckee.

| A ST. Louis special to the Chicago
Tribune says:
| St. Louis has had her proportion of IN
| pOr; ant criminal trials, but no old citizen
remembers any Ike circumstances to the
Mckee trial, which resulted at ten o'clock
tonight with q verdict of guilty. The trial
has progressed for twelve days, and during
this whole time, the interest manifested By
the people has been OK raordinary, until
the streets near the courtroom that it was
with difficulty that passage could be made
through the thOroug htares.
| The charge to the jury, delivered by Judge
Dillon, was of unusual length, and it bore
on it's face eurvey of the whole evidence
and the able arguments both for its defense
and the government After the evening pa
pers were circulated, containing the charge
of the court to the jury, but one sentiment
seemed to prevail, and that was acquittal.
Indeed, it is apparent that acurrent of sym
| patty for the d. fendant had been St ting in
for several days past, but it was not believed
that such feeling had reached the jury, as
| they were, during the whole trial, kept
! closely quartered in q room at Barnum's
Hotel, which was specially provided for
| their accommOd atiOn.
So confident was Dan Voorhie the lead
ing counsel for the deft ndant, of a divided
jury or acquitted thar he mad retired for the
| night at his hotel. No sooner was the vel
diet announced than hundreds of persons
visited the Globe Democrat to express their
sympathy for the defendant. 1t is quite
noticeable all through this trial that the
Democratic politicians exhibit great deal
of feeling for the defendant, and this pay
ticNarly refers to the Southern soldier el,-
ment. This is accounted for from the fact
that Mckee was always personally friendly
to this class of politicians
The defendant was permitted to depart
from the courtroom on his own recOgniz-
ance, Several leading citizens accompanied
him to his residence. 1t is presumed NO.
ton will be made tor new trial 1t is also
thought that the verdict of the jury is de-
fectiye in not being more specific.
At midnight there is great excitement in
the hotels and other public places. Several
of the papers have issued late extras an
nouncing the result, and it is strange
sound to hear the newsboys breaking the
stiffness OF the witching hour by their IN
earthly yells.

The Trial of Babc0ck,


The trial Of General Babcock will con-
sumo many days, and will be one of the

quite novel and entertaining. 1t will also
possess increased interest on account of
