CHICAGO, June 81 notice with heartfelt
gratitude that the people are being aroused to
The Importance Of acting In the coming Presi-
Dental election outside Of political cltques and
all caucus manipulators. They teel the great
necessity OF taking this matter out Of the hands
Of political hacks and members Of political
rings, and, like honest, patriotic business men,
cndeayor to have our public affairs managed By
true, tried, aud faithful servants-by men
opposed to rings and corruption; and with this
end In view they are making an effort
to place Gen. Bristow at the head Of
our Government, and q Bristow Club
has been organized. / hope every voter
who loves his country and desires to see
man In the Presidential chair who Is hostile to
corruption and thieves, and one who will do all
in his power to reform the abuses which threaten
to destroy onr institutions and disgrace us be-
fore the civilized world, will join the Bristow
Club, and use all honorable means to elect Gen.
Bristow President OF the United States.

WASHINGTON, June 1.-The announcement
INSIDE by the S,1a Of the purchase OF the World
by Tom Scott, and the disguised admission OF
It's truth By the World itself, hare excited
good deal Of feeling here on the part Of Demo-
Gratis, and elected considerable comment That
this great railroad uagnate had previously in
vested enough money to secure controlling In
tereat In two other newspapers Of considerable
ability and influence in two Eastern cities, was
very well known. It has also been asserted on
good authority that the friends Of Scott, who
are largely interested with him in the Texas Pa
c11c Railroad scheme, were negotiating for the
Chicago Times. These facts were sufficiently
weighty to make public men at the Capital pause
and wonder whnt all this meant, and whence
came Ill the money necessary to enable the
Railroad King to venture into this new field Of
speculation
It was the general belief that scott's private
fortune WAS seriously impaired by the panic of
1875, and the heavy load Of the protested paper
pany-the inside Credit Mobilier Of the Texas
Pacife-whfch hs has been compelled to carry
ever since. It must be remembered, however,
that Scott Is now President OF the great Penn
sY1TRDta RatrOaQ company, ana IS The absolute
controller Of nearly 1000 miles Of railroad oper-
ated By that Company There are thousands Of
contractors, bankers, spectators, and business
men who look to him for opportunities to turn
an honest penny in serving these great corpora
tions. It would only be necessary for Col. Scott
to say to some Of the wea1thiest Of these men:
II want you to invest few thousands In order
to help me control three or four great newspa-
pers to be used in manufacturing public sentf
ment for Cur grest Southern Pacific Railroad
enterprise, which Will make Us ve1y rich ne
can get the Government to supply the credit for
its bonds,' y and the money would be forthcoul-
ing. This doubtless is the way the money has
been raised for the purchase Of the 1yorld and
its tenders in the East, and from the same
source the cash will certainly come to secure the
Chicago Times, II Scott wants It. OF course
there are political ends to be accomplished in
this way, and there are plenty Of Democratic
politicians ready, in order to advance their ow'u
p1ans, to enter Into Scott's scheme to levy on
tbc Public Treasury.
itis well-known fact that combination Of
some lind has been made between Scott and
The Democratic National Executive Committee.
The Npettng Emzs, Of New York, controlling
interest in which was recently purchased oy
Augustus 6chell and his friends, has been zeal
ously supporting the Texas-Pacihc job ever since
It passed into the hands Of its new Owners. Bcs

Count dc Juigne said TINT there WAS great DIFF
ference in the value Of the different articles,
some having been estimated by Mannheim ut one,
two, three, and rs high as SIX thousand francs
200 francs. 1t was possible to get 1e0 600 francs
for the lot, but in order to effect speedy sale
he would take half that sum for the collection.
There were other details in the Counts letter
to Nine. Latitte, but this is the substance OF it.
The lady showed the letter to Col. Mountjoy-
Martyr, who sent d friend over to examine
the china and to buy if he saw ht:
The collection was taken, and the Count
received 1900 francs in exchange for forty-aVo
plates. When the collection reached London,
who were more jealous than just, perhaps, and
they pretended to discredit the porcelains: Col
Martyr believed that he had been imposed upon
by the Count de Juigne, and entered suit 1or
the restitution Of his money. He claimed that
only thirty-on Of the plates we're real sevres,
and that fourteen were Of modern make and
decoration. The Count declared that be had
never pretended to the contrary, and said that
these fourteen pieces OF lesser value lad been
thrown In as accessories to the bargain. Ae
were worth more than the sum asked,
and that there were Others Of smaller value.
While this suit was In progress Col. Martyr
died, and 1t was taken up by his heirs, and IN
the name Of Nine. Charlotte Hobhouse. The
but his hclress appealed, and the case has just
been finished in Paris. The Tribunal fully sus-
It I'd declares - empbatical}ly I'll that a. the Count dc
Juigne has offered proof Of the genuine char
acter of this porcelain, and larger value, has
been affixed to 1t than he demanded. And thereis
every evidence also that the fourteen blue plates
we're never offered as Sevres, but merely hne
porcelains thrown into the bargain; but on e1-
animation 1t has beon found that these fourteen
plates, not guaranteed, are really productions Of
the mandatory OF sevres. This Is a revelation
which the heirs OF Col. Martyr did not expect,
and they will probably be better coutented with
their bargain. It Is not every collection Of por~
celain that can be thus authenticated By the law
courts, and one can readily imagine. that its
price las been considerably enhanced II the
Juigne collection could be resold u Paris At the
present time 1t would bring nearer 100000
francs than 50 600 But for all this one Is as
founded at the thought that forty-fiye old plates
should bring such q sum.

OLD CHINA.

Some idea Of how old porcelain gets its ficti-
tious value tan be obtained (says the dz,erican
Register, Paris} from curious case just decided
in one of the tribunals Of the Seine. In 1872
the Compte de Juigne, q member OF the French
Assembly, made up his mind to sell fine col
LECTION Of Seyres porcelain plates that he pos
sessel. Hc stated this fact to Nine. Lafittc, an
English lady By birth, and she made some in-
quiries relating to the matter when In England.
Nine. Lafltte was not long in finding pnrchas-
er, and wrote to Comte de Juigne that Col.
Mountjoy- Martyr would probably take it. The
proprietor Of the plates then wrote to
the lady, giving an account Of the prop
erty. He began by saying that be was
ready to sell his porcelaias il be could get
good prizes for them, and believed that prices
were then running high. One Of his friends had
sold collection at the Hotel Drouot at insen-
safe prices; and the Count had thought Of try
ing the same thing, but was detained at Yer
Fail1es by his parliamentary 1abors. He pre-
ferred to sell at private sale. To send ono plate
as sample would be Of no avail, for no two Of
the lot were alike. His grandfather was Gov
ernor Of Sevres under Louis XVI, and had
given to him the hrst plate Of each set
made for presentation to 8oVereigus and
Ambassadors In consequence the collec-
ton was not only = curious ono" but

An ATTACK ON CONGRESS.

The Chicago Times attributes the
whisky frauds to 1.-The government"
thereby meaning 1.-The executive" This
government is composed Of three depart
ments. The representatives of the people
imposed the whisky tax. The officers of
the government execute the revenue du-
ties. If the excessive tax has led to fraud
it is the fault Of Congress, and to assail
the executive because of those conse-
quences of an unwise law is to attack the
representatives of the people, and by con-
quence the people themselves. The Pres
ident has shown in his pursuit of the
whisky ring his devotion to principle
announced by him. 1t is to so exc
or bad qualities manifest. The Times
should then blame Congress for hav-
ing passed an Objectionable law, and
not throw the blame on the executive,
who has not only carried out its provi-
sions, but has exposed by prosecution
even of his own employees the defects of
the law. If the Democratic Times thinks
that freedom and Cheap whisky gang
thegether," let it move Congress for a
modification or repeal of the whisky tax.
1t would be far more candid than to whip
the peoples representatives. over the ex-
ecutive shoulders. Why does not the
Democratic House of Representatives
cheaper the whisky Of the people and
throw the revenue on the food, clothing
and furniture of the people?

been forced to resign, and the attack on
him has no foundation except his color.
All Offices held by Republicans, no matter
if conferred upon them by the same DEM
ocratic votes that were cast for John Gair,
have been Quilted.
In all decency it may be asked of these
assassins of citizenship, can you not con-
ceive that you yourselves might be Amer
lean citizens if you we're put on your good
behavior? What will induce you to cease
making part of the United States, famed
throughout the world for its fertility, and
its advantages of climate and health
giving soil, hell on earth to every man
who dares to express an independent
thought? The expression is not original.
1t has found . medium Of circulation in

pitality extended whenever there is deemed

Of the House of Representatives for re-
medy. Can not something he done to
restore peace-no, more than peace, tran
quillity and happiness and the right of
man, be he black or white, Christian or
inidel, Tory, Wing, Republican, Radical
or Democrat, to mingle his sweat with
the soil he turns for livelihood. One
objection is as fair as the other. Drive
man away because of opinion and the
action is equally wrong whether that
opinion is religious or social, or a poll
teal one Attack him for his physical
characteristics and crime against God
is committed.
Why should there not be peace in
Feliciana? There are no political ques-
tons to stir the people. They should be
quiet In addition to this the people have
telegraphed to Senator Weber to inform
Governor Kellogg that if aid is not sent
to the law-abiding people they will, and
so will the country, hold him responsible
for outrages that are certain to come in
the future.

ANOTHER APPEAL FOB JUSTICE.

The telegra phic columns of the REpUB-
L1cAN contained, yesterday morning, a
story that pleads to the sympathies OF the
most vindic:ive. 1t is simple detail of
facts, but to those who know the circum-
stances, that little detail makes the veins
on the temple of honest American citizens
swell with passion, and the hot blood
rush quicker through the arteries. Why
not? They read of outrages that, if &C.
curing in Maine, Canada or Brazil,
would set the world to talking. We are
used to them here. They have become
too common.
Without any of this excited feeling, let
us reason on this. The fact is first pre-
sented that citizens of East Feliciana are
leaving that parish for that of Pointe
Coupee. They leave because they think
they can not live, nor even earn living,
where their home has hitherto been.
They are known to be handwriting, poor,
and uneducated. They are driven away
because their neighbors, their superiors,
those who are rich and intelligent, and
cultivated, will not endure their presence.
Again, why not? There is but one answer,
and their prosecutors will indorse it.
They are colored people and Republicans.
They are obliged to leave. They would
be killed if they remained. The vim
ctive spirit Of that district has not been
u fed with the death of John Gair and
'aeaA AN who should have been kept
Won only by her persistence in the
'ff~e' Il from her-the double murder
tory fol- ced- justified.

DUB NAPOLEON AND BISMARCK.

Engravings of Napoleon III. represent
him as slender man, wearing an artil-
lery cap and hairy mustache waxed and
pointed out somewhat like the horns of Q
Texas steer. Bismarck is presented pic
torially as broad-headed and substan-
tial man, with a particularly obstinate
expression of countenance. Napoleon
was a skillful diplomat, who skipped
around with his small sword; Bismarck
was a resolute and fearless soldier, who
welded an immense sabre sufficient to
have cut down his antagonist to the seat
of his imperial pantaloons when he
should get fair blow at him.
We have bad a very fair parallel Of
this distinguished pair in the legal con-
troversy now pending between our Ad-
ministrator of Improvements and very
sturdy old German merchant, who claims
compensation for some gunpowder al
legged to have been taken on day cele-
brated in our annals of civil warfare.
We have heretofore stated the facetious
reply of the defendant, in which he makes
the demand a reproach upon the patriotism
Of the claimant. It almost places him
in the position Of Johnny Hook, who had
the audacity to claim payment for beef
furnished the soldiers of the revolution.
Hook was secuted out of court by the in
dignant invective Of Patrick Henry.
But the eturdy demandant in the gun
powder case Gees not scare nor shame
worth cent. He marches up to our Ma
poleon with the solid tread Of German
battalion, and planting himself squarely
before his agile and adro it foe, comes
down upon him with force which would
demolish any ordinary cham. 'lon' ana
