PIERRE sOULE.

The death Of young Pierre Soule is another
incident in the sadly tragical history Of one
of the most respected families in this city.
He was the only son Of the only son and child
Of that brilliant and distinguished jurist, ora
tor and statesman, Pierre Soule, Of whose
patriotic services and brilliant achievements,
In his wonderful career, our old residents and
their descendants even to the present genera
ton cherish such vivid remembrance. Mel
Vile Soule married Miss Angelo Santmanat
about twenty-five years ago. Melville, as the
only child, was the idol and hope, and during
his boyhood and youth, the inseparable COM
panion at home and abroad, of his distin-
guished father to whom he bore so striking
q resemblance as to excite among the friends
and admirers Of the great orator the conf
dent expectation of his succession to the

The DEMOCRAT is no admirer Of Mr. Tilden
and can be counted upon at al times to oppose
his future aspirations as Democratic presi-
Dental candidate; but believes him to be at
least an nstute politician and al honest man.
For these reasons no credit was given the
story that he was connected with the recent
book seizure In Michigan The act was con-
trary to the methods Of the man and entirely
Inconsistent with his record. Now comes
VIM. ?. Healy, attorney for MT. Hidden ana
the Michigan Mining Company, OF which MI
Tilden is the heaviest stakeholder, and gives
the true inwardness of the transaction. LII
appears that the books In question belong TO
the company, and have been forcibly withheld
from its possession for some time. Several
ATTEMPTS have been made to get possession OF
them through the regular legal channels, but
without avail. Finally Mr.. Healy took ad-
vantage Of thei- being in court, obtained
writ of replevln and seized them. Mr.. Illden
was not even remotely connected with the
transaction. The manner OF the seizure has
been rnagnified into O. high-handed robbery;
whereas it was nothing more than regular
proceeding based upon legal writ regularly
procured, and consummated only after the
books had been Thoroughly examined by the
court and all the facts bearing upon Mr.. Til
denis income suit had been collected from
them. Mr.. Healy tells this part OF the story
as follows: ...
About two weeks ago r. NJ. Sherman. Assist
| ant District Attorney Of New York. came out to
Marquette to take Wetmore's testimony IL the
! Income tax case, He was accom- penied by
| Thomas Davis and Tilden's counsel: Mr. Sher-
| man demanded the books. and Wetmore
brought them into court. They were thorough,

days, and Wetmore keeping the books In ms
possession and carrying them homo every
night under his arm. At the close or tne Ok
animation Mr.. Sherman wanted the DooKs p u'
in evidence and sent to New York, 10 his ar
Hart and myself assented, but Wetmore re;

offered to make copies. This Wis pot satlsIac'

TT New Orleans is not regarded abroad as q
xlemoralized pest hole 1t is not the fault Of
xnecial correspondents Of Northern and Vest
arn papers The DEMOCRAT has already had
occasion, more than once, to correct their
wild. sensational and senseless statements.
IT Ia of daily occurrence to find dispatches In
exchanges which, IL true, would deprive the
neople Of this city OF all outside sympathy
and all claims upon humanity; but which
being untrue, work incalculable harm and
leave defenseless people absolutely without
n remedy, inasmuch as they are never cor
rected by the papers In which they occur. AS
a fair sample of some OF these dispatches the
following is clipped from the St. Louis Pos
of the second instant:

and political arenas. 4 cruel anu deep
seated malady nipped in the bloom Oh DIS
manhood these bright hopes and promises
Before. however, this malady had assumed It's
fatal character Melville made q brilliant mat
rimoniaI alliance with one Of the most peautl-
FIJI, elegant and accomplished Creole ladies'
in this city. Miss Angela Santmanat was
the daughter Of that heroic and brilliant SOL
der and revolutionary chieftain Gen. SAINT
rnanat. who fell victim to Mexican treacnery
and cruelty in q revolutionary enterprise III
that country. The fate Of Gen. Santmanat
was long mourned by the large circle OF his
warn friends in this city. His widow and
daughters have always been regarded with
the warmest sympathy, esteem and admira~
ton by our whole community. They fully
rnerited these sentiments by their availability
and gentle graces and virtues.
The mother Of the young gentleman, whose
rntjrneIy decease we have now to record was
subjected during the latter years of her hus-
bands life, and those Of his illustrious father,
to trials, burdens and cares which have rarely
fallen upon woman, and which were never
more heroically borne than by Angela SAINT
| manat Soule For years, the father and son,
physically and mentally Frustrated by the
most hopeless infirmities, absorbed oil her
care and devotion, and demanded degree OF
| unceasing vigilance and exhaustlng anxiety
| and labor that would appear to be beyond
human endurance and capacity. At last, after
many months Of mental and physical suffer
| ing. the elder Soule was relieved by death
from his suffering. And thencefOrWard the
poor widowed mother, devoted to the care and
education Of her children, two daughters and
@ son. those admirable qualities which for so
long o period were engrogsed by the infirmity
OF the grandfather These children, by their
rich developments of the inherited charms
and gifts Of their lineage were beginning TO
brighten the long darkened horizon OF the
domestic circle Of the Soule family. The
daughters became remarkably Intelligent
and accomplished young ladies, and Pierre
gave assurances o. proving @ worthy IN
heritor Of the virtue and talents OF his dis
tinguished grandfather. Reaching his nine
tenth year. he filled the heart Of his mother
with proud and joyful anticipations OF bis
future career. Alasi Now comes the grim
destroyer, which stalks through our country
with such merciless disregard Of oil human
hopes and affections and strikes down the
last stay and prop Of this long prosecuted
and afflicted wife and mother. The name
of Pierre Soule, made SO illustrious in history
by the grandfather, disappears with the BIZ
rial of the grandson, whose body was yester
day borne to its last resting place on earth.

GOLDEN HAIR AT THE CHAN
cEL.-A friend living in Phila-
delphia has sweet golden
haired little daughter, aged threej
years, who is devoted to her
father, and endeavors, after her
baby fashion. to govern her ac-
tions by his own. This habit
causes much amusement in the
family, though the little one
seems quite unconscious that she
is the cause of it all.
Not long ago the child attend
ed divine service for the first
time with her father, and sat
quietly and gravely in the pew
until the close of the sermon.
1t chanced to be communion
Sunday, and Mr.. -, being a
communicate, went with others
toward the chancel, unconscious
that his little daughter was fol-
lowing him. AS he kneIt and
bowed his head, the baby of
three years beside him also knelt
and bowed her sweet face upon
her tiny hands. Those who saw
the touching sight were affected
almost to tears, and nobody at
tempted to remove the small
communicate. Not until my
friend rose to return to his seat
did he discover the child, who
also rose, and slipping her little
hand in his, walked gravely to-
ward the pew. The clergyman,
speaking OF it afterward, said it
was, in his opinion, the most
beautiful sight he had ever seen.

work is commenced and will go
on. The reason assigned for
abandoning the idea of going
into Montana is the probable
early completion Of the North
ern Pacific to Helena, which will
control the Montana trade. This
view Of the subject, which is
doubtless correct, affords strong
hope that a railroad through
this section is among the posi-
bilities Of the early future.
Nothing is more certain than
that If that road is built to the
Columbia river-and we have no
doubt it will bet will be con-
tinued to Puget Sound. That is
manifest destiny.

insgly adheres, to the terms of
tle platform upon which he was
elected. Nothing makes the
politicians of his party so furi-
ous as the practice he has Of
reading to those who call upon
him to remonstrate, the platform
which they mutually endorsed,
and asking them to point out the
act wherein he had departed
from the bond Of agreement with
the people.
The whole trouble lies with
caucus rule in the Government; !;
a system, the whole design, aim
and end of which is to defeat
the popular will in the interest
of professional politicians
Whatever professions or pledges
may be made by candidates, a
combination in caucus may over
rule. 1t is the rule to submit
every measure to a caucus test,
by which a majority of a major
ity control legislation. Thus a
combination of nineteen Senators
in caucus can control the action
of a body composed of seventy
six members. Nine contiguous
States with common interests
may combine and dominate nne-
teen other States. By this
means the manufacturing and
monied States control all the
agricultural States, by compell-
ing the representatives Of free
trade constituency to surrender
their rights to caucus dictation
under the penalty of being ostra-
cised as party traitors. There
will be no free legislation and
the popular will can never be
fairly represented until this in
famous caucus system is abolish

more personal detraetion and
abuse, probably, than any other
man in this town. How much
this popular enterprise, SO i'm
portant to the interests of the
town, has been damaged by en-
barrassing operations at home
and impairing credit abroad, few
can comprehend.
"Old Yesler," who for years
has carried a heavy load of debt
at exhorbitant rates of interest,
and devoted all his resources to
building up the town and helping
others, is a popular object of vi
tuperation, not for any special
offensc, but on general princi-
pies.
All the principal property holders,
and especially the old settlers, are
represented to strangers us grasp
ing. avaricious and exacting to the
last degree, and the sentiment Great
ed by these most unjust and ground

edly discouraged many from set

town.
