What Sam Tilden Looks Like.
George Alfred Townsend, in a recent Il
ter, paints this vivid picture:

tor, paints this vivid picture:
Governor Tilden has face quaint but
not striking; the heroic parts Of the coun-
tenance, if any there ever were, crossed by
lines OF cunning ard eelflove instead Of the
severer furrows Of thought and sacrifice.
He looks like little old grown up boy,
without q hair on his face, his scalp of
q little grizzled. He has blue eyes, not
piercing even when he is aroused, which is
seldom, for his strong suit is to buzz peo-
pie, getting them by the ear. whispering in
it and carrying his point by dull pertinac-
ity. One eye hangs lower than the other.
He has elender legs and a short, mesgre
body, and dresses in plain clothes-black
or dark. His mouth is excessively ugly,
kept ajar as if the upper lip had intentions
on the irresolute under lip. When he closes
these labiais you get, for the first time, an
idea of man of some purpose. His OK.
preston Of countenance does his inner man
hood great injustice, and is actionable at
law for defamation Of character. There is
8 mixture Of severity, suspicion, satire,
sublety, politics, knowledge, solitude,
ambition, voluptu0usness and egotism
in ia vast, slippery wisrfulness
for dominion and popularity. He looks
like an old college professor at times, who
had abandoned the study of subjective and
ODJ6CIlV0 10 lux Will LILO uUEe-d euIiVClcU
and book possessed Faust, ready to make
the bloody mark for fresh lease OF youth
and career. The light but rather dead
complexion of the Governor elbows him to
be man Of the nervous temperament,
and q sort of limpness accompanies it
through all his joints. He ia, indeed, q
phenomenon, as much as those other
bachelors, Alexander H. Stephens. John
Randolph. ard Thaddeus Stevens. Men un-
married develop as individually as women.
When monks like Ssvonarola and Torque.
msda governed States reforms were so &c.
we're that the womanly part Of authority
was seen to be dead, and philanthropy it
self looked terrible. Our Presidents have
been marrying men. Tyler married in the
White House, and Washington popped the
question to five women. Now we have
come to bachelor times, and are asked to
elevate to the chief msgistracy man never
sauced by his wife nor crawled over by the
baby. Not cut Of the mouths Of babes and
sucklings has Samivel perfected praise.

The P!iueOll Load Line.

Not being expert in nautical terme, We
are at Q loss to say whether vessel losoeo
below the Plimsoll load line" IL improp-
erly laden or rot. But as a matter OF TACT,
it was represented to us the other day that
the British steamship MurieI, hence for Liv'
erpool. was thus loaded when she left this
mort. and that for this or some other reason
the crew mu!inied, and the captain and
officers were compelled to work the ship
till il the words Of Captain Quine they
were pretty well knocked up We en-
braced this report in notice Of the drecge-
boats and Scu.hwes: Pass bar. The agents
of the Muriel, however, deny that their
chip was deeply laden, and have addressed
US the following note: ... -
NEW ORLEANe, July 6, 1876.
EDITOR REPUBLICAN,:
DEAR SIR-In your article eD the dredge-
boats you state that we loaded the steam,
ship "Murie!" below ,he ''PLmsoll load
line" several inches Az it is rot go, = GU will
please make correction. When the steamer
left the wharf the ''load line was in sight
on the starboaId eide and just shut out OF
sight by the muddy river water, OF the
other. Had che been on perfect even keel
both sides would have shown it.
We would suggest that when you charge
US with sending vessel to sea too deeply
loaded, it would be prudent to satisfy your
self of it's truth, as something We de not
feel inclined to allow.

EDITOR REPUBLICAN:

Also, the following telegram from Cap.
tain Elwell of the Essayons, which vessel
took the Muriel off the bar and towed hez
to sea:
SOUTHWEST PASS, July 6, $50 P. n.
The Muriel was loaded four inches below
her PlimsOll mark when she took the bar
and that was the cause OF the crew retus'
ing to work.
c. H. ELWELL,
Master Esssyons.
Here We have the statement denied by
the agents, and reiteratiOn by other par
ties. The loading of the steamer was only
incidentally alluded to- the fact whether
she was properly loaded or not Was not ma
terial fer the purpose we had in view, and
as we never saw the ship, and can know
nothing of it except from hearssy, We leave
the question to those interested.

The Slaughter ON the Plains.

In the midst of centennial rejoicings
comes news from the Indian territories of
the most startling characteristic death Of
the gallant Clusters, and the almost total
destruction Of that portion Of the Seventh
Cavalry Regimen: which formed the column
under the immediate command Of General
Custer While We are rejoicing at the one
hundredth anniversary Of the nation, we
had forgotten the noble red American who
once owned the land. America has been
psopleG by q new race. while the aboriginal
has been driven toward the setting sun. 1t
hsa been demonstrated that the red man
car nc. be transformed into useful citizen.
The poi:cy Of the government has been TO
treat Tim kindly. To feed and clothe him
during the winter months, and keep an eye
on him in GUNNER. General Sheridan has
even been ordered to protect the Indians in
their pretended rights to the Black Hills,
and stsnd guard between them and the
advancing white miners. The latest news
calls for different line of action. The
death Of Custer and his men calls for speedy
vengeance. 1. is mistaken policy for
good men to pray with the Indians while
bad men sell them guns; and it is a
mistake to send a detachment of 500
scouts against band Of 1000 warriors
Force must meet force, ard the army
should be turned loose to punish the war.
like tribes in an effective manner. The
Indians fight to xiii. They take no prison
ers and show no mercy. They have N
vaded rich section of Montana Territory
in the vicinity Of the Yellowstone and Big
Horn rivers, and there the terrible battle
was fought. 1t is probable General Sheri
dan will now be allowed to end the Indian
war in his own way, and he can lot do j,
too soon.

Railroad Calamity.

PoUGHKEEPsIE, February pa
sleeping car on the Harlem Railroad ex-
tension, was burned last night, and Mr..
Bissell, proprietor of the Sherman House,
Chicago, and his son persisted in the
flames. Ten other passengers were badly
burned. The accident was caused by the
car running off broken rail and the
upsetting of the car, which then took fire.
FIsKKILL LANDING, n. Y, February
24.-An interview with the passengers
show that the terrible railroad calamity
happened ut midnight, near Wsllingford,
on the Harlem extension. The tram was
composed of al engine, baggage car, one
passenger car and Wagner sleeping car.
There we're ten passengers IN the
sleeping car, which was thrown
from the track by broken
rail, upset, rolled down an embankment
and caught fire. Mr.. BisselPs son, aged
II, was in the centre OF the sleeping car.
The father got out, but hearing the cries
of his son, went back TO save him, and
both were burned TO death. Their char
red remains were fourd. None of the
other passengers in the sleeping-car were
burned, but all were more or less injured
in other ways Mr. Francis Tierney and
wife, of Chicago, were hurt, Mrs. Tierney
on the face and her husband on the head.
A Mr.. Pitkop, of Hartford, is also in
jurtd. The engine went five miles after
physicians, and all the injured are doing
well. Mr. Bissell was found dead with
his feet out Of window and his Lody
inside burned to crisp.

l.AH Acquitted.

Dispatches this morning announce that
of the President of the United States,
indicted ss II rorspirator to defraud the
government. has been acquitted. The
verdict WAS not wholly unlocked for, the
utmost that ever was expected in the
direction of conviction being a hung
Jury. This expectation was based on the
following reasons:
First-He was the Presidents private
secretary, and the conviction of such an
officer for such crime would have pre-
sented US in a most Illuminating light to
the world, especially since the President
himself was so anxious for acquittal.
Second-The prosecution was most
lame and impotent, it being clear to any
casual observer that the efforts put forth
were only for effect, and, as one of the
counsel for the defense said, without
any heart"
Third-The charge of the Judge to
the Jury wss entirely in favor Of the de-
iendsnt, amounting virtually to direc-
tion TO acquit.
FOURTH Because Colonel HENDERSON,
special counsel FOR the prosecution, had
been too zHalous i'll cpnvicting so many
others of the indicted conspirators, and
had been removed.
1t may not be proper now that these
