THE FEARFUL RIDE OF A TEAMr.-
lie boarded a train at Omaha, and after
having been elected from several trains,
he reached Green river, in Wyoming.
Here the train men become more vigil
ant. and the deadhead saw that he
must find more secure hiding place.
Accordingly, while the train men were
busy, he crawled into the fire box OF 4
stationary engine that was standing on
a flat car, and which was going through
to san Francisco. Soon after the train
started some one shut the engine door,
and the man was prisoner. He could
barely turn around, and in this way he
rode for four days and nights, without
u mouthful of food or drink, excepting
few crackers he had in his pockets.
When the train arrived at Verdi,
Nevada, 4 distance Of nearly 500 miles
from Green river, he attracted the at
teu!ion of the conductor by scratching
on the inside of the engine with ms
finger nails. He was liberated almost
dead with cold and hunger. Iruchet
Republican.

THE SITUATION.

The virtnous, the incorruptible, the
immaculate Gov. Wells, head and FROM
of the Louisiana rascaIly returning
board, was put under examination by
the House investigating committee on
Monday lie endeaYored to brow-beat
the committee, but they wouldn't be
brow-Leaten worth a cent He denied
all the charges brought against himself
and the board, and il was evident to all
iha; he lied like 4 tombstone all the
way through. Mr.. Field examined him,
md held him down 10 his work until
lie fairly shook with rage and vexation,
and threatened TO do something desper-
ale. Mr.. Field remained cool bat dc
termined the while, and tiually wrung
ont of the villain that on TIE face Of all
the returns Mr.. Tilden carried the STATE
of Louisiana. The effect OF this admis-
sion yet remains 10 be seen.
The electoral commission still have
the case Of Florida under consideration.
The opening arguments OF counsel were
concluded on Monday,
Affairs in South Carolina and Louisi-
ana still remain in sinfu quo. The Ie-
suit of the electoral count will probably
settle matters in those States. -,-
Step to the iront,now "honcstly cleo
ted Rutherford T., and tell us what
you think CT Jour admirable friend Gov.
Wells.
The democrats are taking Supreme
Court IN 'ibeir'D," and as consequence
Samuel J. will drop into the White
House on the 4th Of March, prox.
The depth of infamy developed by
the investigation into the proceedings
of the Louisiana returning board Is be-
You'd parallel, aud fortunately without
precedent in this CT any other country.
The shameless depravity OF Wells as
told by Maddox aud Pickett, bad as he
was supposed TO be, is even more than
the country was prepared for. If the
doors of States prison do not soon
swing open TO receive him and the bal
ance of the vile crew down i'll Louisiana
Justice will he nothing more than
nockerv and the law but farce.
The arguments of Mr. Merrick and
Judge Black before the electoral count
commission on the democratic side on
Saturday were masterpieces OF truth
aud logic. In brief they were simply
irresistible.
1t is whispered around that the radl-
Gals have no hope OF saving Hayes, but
intend 10 combine their efforts to throw
out the electoral votes of Louisiana and
Florida, and thus throw the election
into the Honse of Representatives. The
result of course would be to elect Til
den President, and tho Senate then
woald elect Wheeler Vicc-Presdent.
This dodge will hardly work. Tilden
aud Hendricks have right and justice
OH their side and are bound TO win.

DEATH OF A YoUNG FORMER Towns

ed 10y his friends here, on Monday of
last week, OF the sudden death OF Mr..
John w. Rohr, eldest son Of Mr. David
L. Rohr, of this place, at Burlington,
Iowa, on the 18th instant. The first
Intelligence came from Tuscola, H.,
and was very vague, leaving the I'M,
preston that his death might have been
the result of an intentional act to that
end on his own part. Later and fuller
information, however, we are glad to
be able to state, completely dissipates
such idea. A letter from Tuscola shown
us, says that "a special dispatch from
Burlington to the Chicago papers stated
that he died from the effects Of laud-
anum, taken to procure sleep, and that
the same was taken about three o'clock
in the afternoon and death ensued at
seven in the evening. Spirit,
