From :he New York Day Book. A T.
the COMING TRIAL.

General Grant has resolved to carry
enough of the South for the party he
now heads to insure, Gas he supp9ses),
i the Hayes and Wheeler ticket at the
November ballot boxes. Well, we
are not surprised. We have in the
past warned the South of this, as we
thought we saw the edict coming.
There is no reason whatever for Secre
tary. Cameron's order to Gen. Sher
man to hold troops. not absolutely re
quired for Indian service, in readiness
to move, save the political coersion OF
the South in November, through tho
bayonet law. If the good citizens OF
the United States, regardless Of polits
ical proclivities, will look on calmly
and see this Federal outrage again Wis
tied upon the South-for it was effec-
lively tried in 1868 and 1S72-we des.
pair of Democratic Republicanism on
his continent. unless it is saved by
another civil war. We hold this move
to be very bold and daring prclim-
mary, which, if not checked where it
is, will lead to an emphatic open de-
claration of Cesarism. This is the
first step. Let the next be taken. let
the armed soldiers tramp be heard on
election day through the cities of the
South, and the freedom baqueathei to
us by the blood of our fathers is as
completely lost as though the domin-
ant party at Washington had put a
gilded crown on the dome of the cap
itol, and publicly burned the Consti-
tuition in bonfire before the great
doors of that edifice. Now, what is
the duty of the North at this moment :?
10 caution all white citizens of every
Southern State against the slightest
act, the slightest approach to an act,
which can be perverted or distorted
into an excuse for military interference
Everything depends upon the utmost
prudence and forbearance by that long
afflicted people, the Southern whites.
We trust and indulge the hope that
this piece of political infamy, set on
foot by Gen. Grant, will recoil with in
terest upon the party it is intended to
serve. We would fain believe that a
protest of Indignation will yet be heard
from the better portions OF that party,
that he will stay his despotic hand.
But if not. if we of the North are to
again look upon doubly-crushed ed
South, under the farce of ian indepen
dent and free ballot-box, surrounded
by Federal bayonets, may God Al
mighty, in His infinite wisdom, lend
us portion of that wisdom to guide
us in the line of holy duty which we
as a people, will undoubtedly be call.
ed upon TO carry out, Bayonets at the
ballot. box to-day cannot be endured,
\ n IN n1 rx,h al
ica Republic has been secretly and
quietly transformed into an Empire,
while the people slept. We await the
next "unkase" from Washington with
anxiety, but again earnestly solicit,
ON the part of the South, the greatest
forbearance, and the utmost caution,
touching the political and social rels.
tions of the two races in that section.

Wolves in Michigan.

Saturday, June "a, Il den OF wolves
was discovered by James F. Chestnut,
about one mile from Montgomery Vii
lage, Hillsdale County. He heard them
barking, and went to the place where
the sound came from and whistled
through his fingers, to which five or six
young wolves responded with yelps ana
came running toward him. He shot n
killed one wolf and wounded another.
The place where Chestnut found these
wolves is commonly called "Doopss
Island" 1t is a piece of solid ground
in the midst of a large marsh. After
killing the wolf, Chestnut made an ex-
animation of the island, and discovered
their den in the ground. Tho next
day he returned t the den in company
with some of his neighbors, and they
dug out of the den three mole black
wolves, which they caught alive. They
are six to eight months old. One old
wolf has been killed within a few miles
of the place where these were discov-
cred. There have been seven wolves
killed and caught in all, old and young,
in that section within the last few days.
There have not been any wolves seen in
this country for about twenty years be-
fore this, and this discovery revives old
wolf stories, and makes a good deal OF
excitement.-DetroH Free Press.

men had to run over an open space OF
about 100 yards to get into the head
of the r%avinc, and this open space was
commanded by the Indians on the
bluffs. The soldiers, about so strong,
dashed owe the open plateau and en-
tered the ravine. They rushed down
IL to the mouth and found it closely
guarded by a party Of Indians posted
in the timber across the river. The
water could be approached to within 80
feet under cover; but then one had to
step out on the river bank and take the
Indians fire. The boys ran the gaunt-
let bravcly. Some would dash down to
the river with camp kettles, fill them,
and then take shelter in the bend OF
the ~ravinc, behind the rocks, where the
canteens were filed and carried up tho

were supplied one man was killed and
