The Dead Gorilla.

The caption OF this article must not lead
the hasty man, who reads articles as the
English snob, according to Swift, knows
lords-by their titles only-into the belief
that it is an obituary, written in the Southern
vein, of Lincoln or Morton. 1t is devoted to
the consideration of the claims of kinship ad-
vanced by Pongo, the famous ape that died
at Berlin few days ago.
There are strong reasons for believing that
Pongo was an imposter and not one of the
family at all. He would not lie. he did not
steal. He took no interest in politics. He
had no patriotism-never once expressed a
belief that Africa was the greatest country on
earth, nor was ever known to pinch the os
trich to make it scream. There seems to
have been nothing human about the
creature. He was honest, grateful, consist
ent, and displayed none of that shrewdness,
that ability to take his fellow in, that wise
regard for his own interests on which men
pride themselves. He acquired some of the
superficial accomplishments of humanity it is
true-he could drink and smoke aud learned
some other as interesting tricks-but he
lacked all its essential qualities. He never
acquired more than a veneer of civilization.
He had no soul.
As gorilla he was, it is true, an unquali-
fed success, and reflected honor upon his
race, but as man he was a lamentabe fail
ure. We may charitably acknowledge the
excellence of his aim, and his laudable at
tempts. We cannot truthfully say that he
even approached success in his endeavor.
His youth may be pleaded in mitigation OF
his failure; but his warmest friends must
admit that he gave absolutely no promise Of
ability to learn the fine art Of humanity
there was nothing to build upon.
1t will long be a mooted question whether
he was conscious imposter or a fanatic-a
question which may be the leading ''historic
doubt" in years to come, taking the place of
the old conundrum about the man IN the
iron mask. In moments of disparagement
and humility, however, the unaattering sug-
gestion will sometimes intrude itself that he
was the missing link after all,-but at the
ether end Of the chain; something a little
lower than the angels and considerably higher
than man; that he wore an ugly disguise as
princes do in fairy stories; and that under
the coarse mask of the Yahoo was concealed
the sweet fine nature of the Houyhnhnm,
Pongo seeking intercourse with men by as
suming their outward sembIanCe and with
the desire to influence them by example to
live more cleanly.

"A RECOMMENDATION |;

The completed circle of summer and winter seed
time and harvest have brought us to the accustomed
season at which a religious people celebrates with
praise and Thanksgiving the enduring mercy of Al
mighty God This devout and public confession of
the constant dependence OF man upon the Divine
Father for all the good gifts of life and health and
peace and happiness, SO early in our history made
the habit OF our people, finds in the survey of the
past year new grounds for its joyful and grateful
manifestations. In all blessings which depend npon
the benignant seasons this has indeed been memo
rabe year Over the wide territory of country with
all its diversity of soil and climate and products the
earth has yielded bountul return the labor of the
husL aDdman; the health of the people has been
blighted by no peslence widespread diseases no
great disasters by shipwreck on coast to our
commerce on thesea have brought loss and harsbips
to merchants or Mariners and couded the happ ness
OF the community with sympathetic sorrow. In all
that concerns our strength and peace and greatness
as nation; in all that touches the permanence and
security of our government and the benefcent nsti-
tutions on which IL rests in all that affects the char
acter and dispositions of our eople or tests
pacty to enjoy and uphold the equal and free condi-
tion of society now permanent and universal through
out the land. the experience OF the past year is
plcuously marked by the protecting providence of
God and is tul Of promise and hope for the coming
generations.
Under sense Of these infinite obligations to the
Great Ruler of times and seasons and events, let us
humbly ascribe it to our own faults and raities
IN any degree that perfect concord and happiness,
peace and justice which such great mercies should
diuse through the hearts and lives of our people do
not altogether and always and everywhere prevail.
Let us with one spirit and one voice lift up praise
anu thanksgiving 10 God 1or bis manifold goodness
to our land, dis manifest care for the nation.
Now, therefore, 1. Rutherford B. HAYES, President
of the United States, do appoint Thursday, the 29th
day of November next, as day of national thanks
giving and prayer. and earnestly recommend that
in withdrawing themselves from secular cares and
abor the people of the United S ates do meet
together on that day their respective places OF
worship, there to give thanks and praise to Almighty
God for his mercles and to deyoutly beseech their
continuance.
In witness whereof have hereunto set my hand
and caused the seal of the United States to be
affixed.

OF October, in the year OF our Lord one thousand
eight hundred and seventy-seven, and of the
Independence OF the United States the one

Struggle for the Senate.
Adroit Tactics of the Dem scrafs,

Ths Washington correspondent of the Bos-
bon Advertiser sends an account of the adroit
tactics of the Demuorats to secure the control
of the Senate. He says: The vote in Juo Som
ate Wednesday on Mr. Thurman's motion for
an executive session was by all odds the most
important and significant of the session, and
shows that the political situation is exceeding
ly critical. The Democrats are playing a bold
game for control of the Senate and are within
two votes of success. Under the apparently
harmless guise of motion to discharge the
committee of privileges and elections from the
consideration of the Butler case, a movement
has begun, which. if successful will transfet
the political control of the Senate and the en-
tire legislative branch of the government to the
Democrats. The proceedings of the last two
days and the vote give color to the current re-
port that an arrangement has been effected by
which Messrs. Patterson and Conover will both
vote with the Democrats and admit Butler to
the vacant seat from South Carolina. This
done, motion to swear in Eusti, would fol-
low, and reinforced by the two, Spofford could
bs admitted and a msj1rity of the Senate Sc
cured. The discussion preceding the vote was
legal and technical 10 its character, and prlnci-
pally devoted to precedents and the course of
the CO mmlttee on privileges and elections in
managing cases comn.tted to them, Messrs
Wadleish, Mitchell and Hoar REPRESENTED the
committee, and made a good defence against
the charges that they had been derelct or dila-
tory in any Of the cases entrusted to them.
Senator Hoar's motion to lay the matter on the
table was just about to be voted on, when Mr.
Thurman. ascertaining that Patterson was abb
sent and Conover uncertain, made the flank
movement of an executive session On this
roll-call, Davis of IllinoiD, as had been
expected, voted with tle Democrats
and Conover as had been feared did
likewise, aud the motion prevailed
BY one vote. Every senator except Paterson

THE Speaker of the House is credited with
the belief that Samuel J. will be the Demo-
cratic candidate 10, the Presidency in 1880
but Samuel ]. Randall, not Tilden. He sees
no reason why it should not be so. "Ain't
our nishuls the same?' he asks in the Ian
guage ascribed by Lowell to Andy johnson.

DEMOCRATS cannot complain of the COM
position of the committee to examine the
Treasury accounts. Davis of West Virginia
is the chairman and Beck is second. Strong

do not fear an investigation.

The Portland daily press., 1877-11-23

IT appears that the Democratic scheme
for reducing the army failed because so many
Democratic representatives were ''out to see
man" when the vote was taken. But the
Democracy cannot always be trusted to hurt
itself with its own weapons. Its Congress
men will be at their posts next time bad

They may hold with the Southern Cover
nors of the cid catch.phrase that it is long

all that not that they love rum less that
they hate the Republic more. The only
safety for the country is in wiping out the
Democratic majority in the House.
