6catiOn would alike be as improper Ior
me, as it would be repugnant to the
principles and desires of those interested.
Imay, however. with propriety say that
it has been done by men who reside in
all the States of the Union, who move in
almost every useful and honorable sphere |
of life, who comprise the best elements,
socially and intellectually, of the Irish
race on this continent, who are totally
averse to any notoriety connected with
Irish affairs, who have discarded public
agitation on the wrongs and rights OF
Ireland for the more decisive policy OF
action-who have without flourish given
from their own pockets tens of thousands
of dollars for this purpose, and have spar
ed neither time, money or labor to make
! it a success.
REPoRTER.-But must there not be
specially organized movement to carry
this thing into effect, and to be able to
so effectually preclude the knowledge OF
its existence from the public?
Mr.-.-No There is perpetual
movement of undying hostility to and un-
ceasing action against England vlbra-
ting through the heart OF every true man
OF Irish birth and blood, and the only
bond of secrecy that exists is the honor
and patriotism of those concerned.
REPORrER.-Is it true that it ls upon
an American ship the rescued men have
embarked?
Mr.. -.-It is; upon the CATALPA,
an American whaler, a barque, POP tons
burden, built at Medford, Mass. She
was fitted out.by j. Y. Richardson, OF
New Bedford, Mass. She sailed from
there on the 29th day of April, 1875. Her
equipment was as complete as any vesse
of her kind that ever left American wa
ters. She is commanded by Captain An
thony, a bold and experienced officer,
and manned by an American crew.
REP0RTER.-Is there any fear of her
} being overhauled for violation Of inter
ternational law?
Mr.. She has committed no
breach of international law. She is an
American ship, commanded by an Amer
lean captain, and manned by an Ameri-
lean crew. Her registry and manifest
, are all perfectly correct, and IN every
respect complying with American law.
She went on the perfectly leg itimate
: business OF whaling in the Southern seas
and while thus engaged she picked W
those men at sea in open boats. outside
the maritime line of British jurisdiction
A dozen other American whalers were
ready to do the same thing.
REPoRTER.-Shoulda British gun-boa
. overhaul her and recapture the men. dt
you think any trouble would arise be-
9 tween America and England?
: Mr.. In the first place, do no
i. think there is chance left of her being
overhauled. That ship is prepared t

AMERICAN GIRLS.

Notwithstanding the friendship affec-
ted by the English for the Americans as
a great nation, the English OF the ''blue

more than to find the English aristocra-
cy intermarrying with Americans. New

sequence of a failure 10 afford such
protection. We also demand that all
settlers upon the Ehoslons Indian
reservation, In this Territory, shah
be fully compensated for their
improvements, made in good faith
thereon, before being compelled 10 va
cate the same; and 70 encourage and
promote the permanent occupation and
settlement Of our Territory, We ask
that sufficient appropriations be made
by the general government to secure
the survey of all public lands within
our limits where occupation and settle
ment is practicable, and especially that
all such lands recently eliminated from
the Shoshone Indian reservation may
be surveyed without delay;
Resolved, That the establishment of
military posts in the Wind River coun-
try and the extension of settlements
taking place in said country demand
that the Government should ut once
construct from some point on the Union
Pacific a wagon road through such
country to the Yellowstone National
park.

giving a pound of bologna with the
shirt. JobyIson Mopted the sausage
and distributed gold-headed canes and
e0pies OF Watts hymns. Smith rallied
and offered all Of Johnsonis premiums
with a litter of pups and q bunch of
toothpieks to each man, But johnson
took all the travel by paying the old
debts Of each passenger and deciding
him a cemetery lot. Smith turned the
tide immediately in his direction by
giving every fellow a pair of mules, q
church pew, and 1900 shares of stock
in the Pacific railroad Then johnson
determined upon his master stroke. He
went to Brigham Young and got special
d-ispensation; and then he offered to
marry all the women that rode in his
stages, to take all the men into partner
ship, and to give cummings to all the
babies. Smith was broken up, and had
to sell out and abandon the business.
johnson now has 1,426 wives, 1900
partners, and he is indebted to an India
rubber man forsix bushels of cummings.
But he killed Smith, and he is now
happy. Philadelphia Bulletin.

Laramie County Republican Platform.

Resolved, by the Republican party Of
Laramie county, represented by It's dele
gates IN Convention assembled, That we
most heartily endorse the sentiments
promulgated in the platform adopted
by the late Territorial Republican con-
yention that met at Rawlins on the 14th
instant;
That we accept the nomination of w.
w. Corlett as a candidate for Delegate
In Congress as the most ft that could
have been made; and we, his neighbors,
who have known him for many years,
most u~nreservedly recommend him to
the people of this Territory as a man Of
marked ability, of sterling integrity,
and great honesty;
That we are in favor Of economy and
retrenchment in the management of
our county affairs, and that in future
we shall hold all county officers to a
strict accountability in the performance
of their official duties;
That we most earnestly recommend
and urge the Board of County Commits
sioners of Laramie county to take such
action as may be necessary to locate and
open good wagon roads on the most
feasible and direct lines between Chey-
enne, in Laramie county, and Custer
City and Deadwood, in the Black Hills,
and we do hereby pledge to them our
united support in all judicious meas
they may adopt to carry out such
an enterprise.

Wyoming Republican Platform.

Resolved, That upon all questions Of
national concern, WI cordially endorse
and adopt the platform of principles
recited by the National Republican
Convention held at Cincinnati, and we
earnestly desire the election of the NOM
inees of that convention to the Offices
of President and Vice-President of the
United States, respectively, believing
that such q result would in the present
aspect of affairs be the only safe guar
anty Of the permanency of the American
Union and the prosperity of every Sec
ton of our common country.
Resolved, That we favor home-rule
and self-government in the Territories,
and in the filling of all offices therein,
including the important office of Dele
gate in Congress, with honest and COM
petent citizens, selected from actual and
bona .tfdc residents of the Territory;
Resolved, That the introduction of
Chinese labor into this country is
fraught with serious and dangerous
consequences to that system Of free Ia
Dor to which the Republican party has
ever been committed and that we
condemn every system and policy in
the Government which deprives Ia
Dor Of its dignity; and that the inn
portation Of Cinnamon to this coun-
try has driven out Of employment
a large class of native and foreign-born
citizens; and that it retards theprogress
and development of the territories; and
that we highly commend the action of
the National Republican Convention
in calling upon Congress to investigate
the effect of Chinese immigration upon
the laboring classes of this country,
and that the prompt action of Congress
in the matter meets our hearty appro-
val.
Resolred, That we utterly and un-
q%ualifedly condemn the whole Indian
policy of the United States-so far as
relates to the practice of making
treaties with these savage and barbarous
tribes-as inconsistent with the sover-
eighty of the government and as being
puerile in policy anda failure in results.
We therefore ask for such changes
in the policy of the government
respecting Indian affairs, as will SUBJ
ject these savages at all times to the
efficient and absolute control Of the ma
ton, and will at the same time destroy
the Indian ring, its aiders and abet-
tors
Resolved, That we return thanks to
President Grants administration for
the important steps taken to rid the
northern part of this Territory of our
old enemies, the Sioux, and that we
cordially approve Of its Indian policy az
nov being carried out by General
Crook and the brave officers and soldiers
of his command;
Resolved, That it is the duty of thu
government to open to exploration and
settlement every acre OF the public
domain, and that settlers upon tn,
public lands of the United States SHOULD
have full protection and every en-
enlargement, wherever they may be
We, therefore, believe 1t to be the dut,
OF the United States to fully protec
such settlers from Indian depreciation
and hostilities, and to indemnity sucl

A Nevada paper represents General
Sherman as saying in that State: 1.-THE
'bayonet' order, as it is called, means
nothing which can be construed against
and section of the country. 1t simply
orders the commanders of troops where
aver stationed to respond to the call of
United States marshals when intimida-
tion is threatened at the polls. The act
of Congress under which it was issued
was offered by a Democrat, and it APP
plies equally to the North and South.
The object of it is simply to secure an
honest election in November Being
asked if he had ordered any troops to
the South, he replied: "Not a single
man. My order simply applies to the
troops already there. If they are called
upon they will act. There you have the
whole gist Of the 'bayonet' order"

What Tilden is Not Going to Do When He
Gets to be President.

Mr.. Tilden has written a letter for
publication of which the following is
an extract:
Should 1 be elected President the pro-
visions of the Fourteenth Amendment
will, so far as depends on me, be
executed and enforced in perfect and
absolute good faith; no rebel debt will
f Se assumed smnns;ne or paid q mo no claim l;aIa for .o;u loss IS
allowed;no claim for any loss or damage
incurred by disloyal persons arising
from the late war, whether covered by
the Fourteenth Amendment or not, will

will not be refunded. l shall deem II
my duty to veto every bill providing
for the assumption OF payment of any
such debts, losses, damages, claims, OF
for refunding of any such tax.
