The Nashville American Of Fri

ness and patriotism make him a

Louisiana, and he could not decline.
We are unalterably opposed to the
commission. We do not, even IL IL

can do, or anything il can accom-
plish; but, since its labors and re
port are to be the basis for the

the present aspect of affairs, IL
would be unfortunate for any South

A Hunt with Texas Jack.

Texas Jack has returned from a
hunt in the Sweetwater country
with a party of Fnglishmen and has
had talk about it with a writer for
the Spirit of the Times. The game
consisted Chiefly of elk, black tailed
deer, antelpe ana mountain-sheep.
No hostile Indians were encoun
tered. The only dangerous brute
in the West to hunt, Jack says, is
the bear. He is cunning, swift, and
always ready for fight. He
thinks that the best place to hunt
bears is where there are not many
to be found, and of the grizzly he
says: "He will stand in the middle
of the read. growing and letting
his mad up, when there isn't live
creature within forty miles of him.
If you meet one and turn out for
him, he will probably leave you
alone, but if you say a word, look
out for him. Many time have
made some such remark to a bear as,
Where are you going, Tommy"
when in an instant his arms would
be up, and ready to tear me to piee-
es. No, sir, we don't go bear hunting
very much. You see, they can run
as fast as a horse, and you have to
put bullet into just such place
to kill them, and until they are
dead they are dangerous" Jack, in
conclusion, tells this story: II was
out once with party in Texas, and
we came across a big cinnamon
bear. A fellow proposed to cap
ture him with lasso. He made a
good throw, and got the loop around
the bears neck. When old CHINA
mon felt it get tight, what do you
think he did? He just sat up on his
felt of the rope with one
paw, and then began pulling it in
hand over hand. There was a man
and horse fast TO the other end
of the rope, but they had to come,
both of them. As for the hunter,
he jumped off and got away, but the
bear drew the pony right up to
him and killed him."

Sublime Impertinence.


Judge Blacks speech before the
electoral tribunal, ostensibly in the
South Carolina case, will be memor-
able as the exhibition of the sublim
est impertinence ever displayed be-
fore any dignified tribunal. He
would not venture to make any such
reflection before an average alder
man or rural justice of the peace,
and yet he stood before what should
be the most reverenced tribunal ev-
er known under a government, and
pointed out to it, in terms which
lacked even the pretense of court
esy, how it had given its high sane
tion to the most shameless fraud
and how.it had disregarded the vi
tai principles of law in doing so.
He stripped from them the thin
guise of technical protection on
which the decisions were based, and
proclaimed to the nation, through
the argument before the commits
sion, that it had parleyed only to
find excuses for fraud, and had in
voked the execrations of the coun-
try by shameless disregard of du-
ty. And it was submitted to in ST
lence. Even Morton bore the keen
stripes with sealed lips, and five
members of the Supreme Court of
the United States, acting in what
Congress meant to be judicial ca
pacity, had no taste for claiming
the protection that was due to their
position, to their duties and to
themselves. Indeed, fifteen men
submitted to it just because fifteen
men felt that it was too just to be
questioned. Eight of the number
did not dare dispute it, for they felt
that complaint would only arouse
the country the more to the exam
ination of their record, and seven
doubtless welcomed the merciless
castigation. 1t was painful exhi-
bition of the cowardice that follows
the dethronement of right.-PkiLa-

She Didn't Stand Up.

where a revival is in progress the
clergymen asked those who wanted
to be prayed for to stand up. Quite

door:
"Why didn't you stand up"
"Oh, didn't want to-" was the
reply.

Why Not Freeze Him Out?
A Scheme Which Might Have
ShOrn Packard of His
Power.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-In dis
coursing about "what might have
BEEN in the situation, the Louisi-
ana Democrats are reviving the
scheme which had been pressed up
on Mr.. Hayes as the most feasible
and conclusive yet advanced. 1t
was simply to remove the disreput-
able Custom house ring in New Or
leans and appoint solid business
men OF the city without regard to
politics, II is a notorious fact that
these ringsters ere supplying Pack
ard with all the money he has OBJ
tanned from the State, which they
do by grinding the negro. Remove
them, and his sources Of supply are
at once cut of, and he soon dies of
starvation. Under the present
state of things in that unhappy
community, very important trusts
are administered by colored men
who can't sign their own names,
and are simply tools of Packard.
This is the case with the naval Off
Ger, whose position is one of great
profit and responsibility. The
attitude of the President is not
enyiable. He lost nearly all
the respect the Southern Con
servatives had for him, and they
are loudly branding his policy as a
betrayal. One of them to-day in
repeating his views said he had oh
served some time ago that while he
thought we'll Of Packard and Cham
berlain and was not sure they did
not have the right Of the case, still
it was necessary at times to sacrifice
technical rights for the public wei
fare, thus intimating he thought
this sacrifice must be made. 9th
ers believe he is still sincere in his
professions, but accepts a commits
sion as an easier way of contending
against the bloody shirt element of
his party.

For the Citizen.l
LINES,
on TaE DEATH OF THE INFANT DAUeHTxR OF
MRS. T. n FoLLIS.

Sweet babe! how short thy stay,
How soon thy suffering DER;
Thy spirit flown away,
To visit earth no more,
hath found nearer road
Than thousands to its bright abode.
Thy little form is cold,
Nor heaves thy little breast;
Thy little eyes are closed,
Thy pains are lulled to rest,
And in thy cold and lonely bed,
No burning fevers pain thy head.
Now with thy Saviour dear,
To glory thou art gone;
The rarsomed hosts are there,
And thou art not alone.
No dear, the cold and silent tomb
Is not thy happy spirits home.
In mansions far above
This wcrld of care and pains,
Thou RiDes'J of Jesus love
In never ending strains.
To thy fond parents thou vert given,
To wean their hearts from earth to heaven.
1e weeping parents viewl
Your happy infant stands;
See how she becons you
With both her little hands:
Come, father, mother come up here,
Eternal glory you shall share.
Fatherl shallshe call in vain!
And never meet you iherel
Can you endure the pain
of darkness and despair
Say, shall she plead with you in vain,
And will you never meet agninl
Fond motherl do not mourn,
Thy child is now an angel star;
And though she'll never return,
Soon thou may'st go TO her.
Thy little bud hath flown to heaven,
And dwells with Him by whom twas given.
Then kind and gentle mother,
Be faithful to thy Saviour,
When clouds around thee hover,
Look up and view thine angel.
With outstretohed hands and smiling face,
Vashti calls the to thy resting place.

The Sale of a Wife

Chattanooga has had a sensation
in the arrival of DIR. Kendall who
had eloped with Mrs. Berg and
child from Ohio. Learning that
Berg was on his track Kendall left
with his newly acquired posses
sions, and, going via Dalton, in this
State, doubled on his track and
went back into Tennessee. Berg,
accompanied by a detective, sue
ceeded in tracing up the fugitives,
and when he found them, agreed
for $I25 to dismiss all suits against
Kendall, and take his wife and child
back to Dayton, Ohio, and then sur
render up all claim to them. The
agreement was in writing. DR.. Ken
dali had to foot Berg's lawyers fee,
and purchased tickets for the wife
and child to go home. Mrs. Berg
and her child didn't want to leave
DIR. Kendall. Berg believes that If
he gets his wife back To Dayton he
can overcome her in satuation, while
DIR. Kendall proposes to get di-
vorced from his wiic and marry
Mrs. Berg.
1t will take an electoral commits
sion to decide the matter.-AaGht0

FOUND.
$4,000 in Gold.

To the Editor of the Morristown Gazette:
March Goth, 1877.
There is strange story, yet new
ertheless a true one, to be given you
for your readers. In the early his
tory of East Tennessee, about 1874,
as near as can be determined, three
men by the name of Patterson, all
brothers, visited the New Market
Valley, with the intention Of buying
the rich and extensive lands near
what is known as Panther Springs.
They brought with them a large
amount of money, supposed to be
from $4,000 to $4,000 in Mexican
coin. While looking over the lands
they were murdered and their mon.
ey and other articles of value taken
from their person by hunter, and
their bones were burnt in a cave
near what at that time was known
as the "buffalo crossing" now
known as the Grindstone Hollow,
which place was also the rendez-
vous of the murderer, whom it is
supposed, feared that the Patter
sons would be missed from the
neighborhood, fed to the western
portion of Virginia. There he died,
and on his death bed he gave way
bill that his hidden treasure might
be found. Some forty years ago,
say the older citizens, two men
came with the way bill, giving de-
scription of the place, and every eff
fort made to find the money, but to
no purpose, and after several weeks
of hard labor gave up the search.
Now for the sequel;
During the heavy snow of the
past winter, a man by the name of
John Lambert and man from the
vicinity of Panther Springs went
hunting ard tracked q coon to
small hole by the edge of a rock.
Lambert stopped up the hole and
remarked, that che would get the
gentleman yet, if he wasn't pretty
sharp" He subsequently went back
lit is supposed after the snow had
melted) and fonnd two rocks over
the hole; he moved them and saw
below them q vast cavern. He re-
turned home and procured a bed
cord, tied the same to walnut tree
and descended into it some one
hundred feet, and there found the
treasure spread out upon q rock,
with an old Mexican saddle blanket
spread over il. The blanket had
decayed until nothing but the "fill-
ing" remained. He also found one
saddle and six Mexican stir-ups.
Lambert made these statements
to a friend of his, and showed him
a pocket full of the money. He |
was a day laborer, and did not know
what it was to have any amount of
money.
Your correspondent visited the
section of country while the people
were making excavations where
Lambert had found the cave, and
with his own eyes nearly
one half of a human skeleton taken
out, and all other signs made hun
dred years ago, Lambert and his
family have departed to some un
known country with the money.
These are facts as can be proven by
any number of the best citizens Of
Panther Springs. NJ. CUBE.

Mr.. Hayes had but one thing to
do in the matter of the Southern
question, and that was 10 order the
removal Of the troops from the
State-houses. This would have

we believe, he at first intended to
do; but he fell into the hands OF
the ultra Radicals, showed true
tluck in resisting their demands
