A Slaves Devotion.

| There were two sides to even tn

loyalty to their owners led often Il
acts Of self-sacri6ce. finely human and

WEEKLY BAZO0.
SEDAI1A
TUESDAY, NOVEMBER %, 1873.



A Washington Dispatch from q Re
publican source states that the Presi
dent i busily engaged in preparing BIZ
annual message. having received frou
tho different members of his Cabine
abstracts of their reports. The princi
psi features will b the development
Of our foeeign commerce. the South
ern policy, the currency question. the
peaceful settlement of the fishery
dispute. He will also touch upon q
number of minor questions. On the
Southern question be will dwell al
great length. to show that bis course
was we'll considered and the only prac.
teal solution Of the Southern prob
lem in the attitude that be found il
when he assumed the Presidency. He
will not admit that his efforts have
been q failure in results. though those
results may yet be withheld. He
demonstrates that the future Of the
South il now wholly in the hands of
the Southern people themselves. con-
fronted not BY . sectional North, but
by . liberal. patriotic and discreet peo-
pie. who are not willing to jeopardize
the safety of the Union and their Con-
stitutienal guarantees and rights to an
intolerant and reactionary element;
that 20 long as this condition of things
prevails in the South that part of the
country cannot expect to inspire the
confidence of the Iaw-abiding people
of the country; he is fully determined
that the laws shall be enforced, and
that citizens in the South, whatever
may be their condition, shall be sus-
tanned in the exercise Of their politi-
cal rights. He calls attention to the
Attorney General and the determine
tion Of that officer to prosecute all Of
tenders against the law, and if the
people in the South refuse to cooper
ate. the fact will be apparent to the
country. The Presidents object in
thus fully treating this question is to
have his position. in the light of re-
cent developments, authoritatively un-
derstood. The subject of foreign
commerce Is one to which the Presi-
dent has given close attention, and
from the State and Treasury Depart
menh has obtained q large amount of
information, showing the favorable OPP
portunities which now exist to extend
our trade to foreign countries, and es-
pecially to South America. He favors
only legislation calculated to facilitate
the sale of the surplus products of our
fields, industrial establishments and
minds, - our productive capacity is
largely in excess of the home demand.
In regard to the financial question, the |
President takes the most hopeful view, |
and bis message will not differ ma
terially from the position which he
has given to the public in his speeches.
He considers resumption a. virtually
disposed Of, the people having signi-
fed their approval.

About the fisst of October the com.
missioner of internal revenue issued an
order that ali bitters and medicines
containing alcoholic liquor should be
subjected at the mandatory to the
recti6ers licenee, and that the retail
e1 should procure regular license be-
fore they might be allowed to sell the
goods. The object of this order was
not to be burdensome on genuine med
icines which contained liquor only as a
preservative and aid in administering
tho medicinal qualities OF the article.
but to check the rapidly growing sale
Of whiskey which. BY the use of a
small amount of chemicals was escap-
ing the ninety cent tax an6 license.
The order goes into effect on January
l. and the many patent medicines and
bittes will first have to be passed upon
BY the department and be relieved
from the effect of the order or else pass
under the liquor law. So far q num-
Der of the commonly advertised Bit
tsrs have been found to contain too
much liquor to be allowed to pass
without the licenses. The first in.
stance Of any bitters being admitted

AN EXTRAORDINARY SCENE.

There was an extraordinary scene in
the course of the recent trial Of the Nihi-
lists in St. Petersburg A prisoner named
Mischkin complained Of the merciless
ill,usage and torture to which he had
been forced to submit for two years. Ac>
cording to his statement, during the pro-
longed examination, forty-three of the
I8o prisoners had died from natural
causes, twelve had committed suicide,
and twenty eight had gone mad. He de-
nounced the proceedings as miserable
farce. At these words the Judge jumped
up, and gave orders that the prisoner
should at once be removed. An officer
of the gendarmes promptly seized Misch'
kin, but at the same time two other pris-
oners rushed to the aid Of the latter and
hand-to>hand fight ensued, in which
the officer had to contend against the
three. Mischkin continued in a louder
key to rail against the court and the
Judges. AT last a gag was forcedSinto
his mouth, and he, with his fellow-pris-
oners, was dragged out of the chamber.
A terrible tumult ensued in the court.
Many women, some Of them being wives
of the prisoners, tainted or went into
Mysteries, and loud curses were heard.
The prisoners, officials, spectators, and
gendarmes were involved in a riotous
struggle, but eventually detachment
Of soldiers succeeded in clearing the
place.

ENGLISH GRIT.

When an English Government boldly
calls upon Parliament for an additional
two>pence in the pound in the income
tax and Parliament responds with cheers
there can no longer be any doubt that
England means to maintain at all haz-
ards the position sheha at last assumed,
that Europe and not Russia must settle
the future of European Turkey. Prince
Bismarck has instantly recognized, as
THE WORLD long ago pointed out that
he would, the preponderance ofGerman
interests in the direction taken by Eng
land, and Berlin has given the Gar in
no uncertain accents to understand that
permission to liberate the Christians OF
Bulgaria is one thing, and permission to
substitute Russian for Turkish dom
ination on the Danube quite another
thing. The fiat of Germany liberates
Austria to act in the sense of her own
freedom and future, and if peace is now
to be broken afresh, the responsibility
and with the responsibility the penalty Of
breaking it will fall upon Russia with a
force so tremendous that it is scarcely
conceivable she should deliberately ac>
cept the one and incur the other.-N Y

FIERCE AND FATAL FIGHT BE-
TWEENA RAM AND A DONKEY.

Recently at Fulwood, near Preston,
England, a fight, which proved fatal to
one of the combatants, took place be-
tween a ram and donkey in field in
the occupation ofMr Wilkinson, farmer,
The ass, belonging to Mrs. Kellett, had
been in the habit of visiting one of its
own kind which grazed on Mr.. wilkins
sons lands, and his trespasses had often
been resented by an old black faced ram,
one Of a flock Of sheep pasturing in the
same field On Friday the ram seemed
determined to have it out with Neddy,
and attacked him furiously, goring him
grievousIy with his formidable horns.
The ass, however, met his assaults brave.
ly,plunged round with astonishing agiliN
ty, kicked out at the old ram with terrible
force and sometimes with stunning effect
Atlast he seized the ram by the nose and
shook him as adog worries rat, bit him
aboutthe head and neck repeatedly, and
left him weltering in his blood, marching
off victoriously, their combat having lasts
ed nearly half an hour. Shortly after
ward the ram died from loss of blood and
the injuries he had sustained.

IS MIR. HAYES GUILTY 2

He AttsnptS 10 Have an Unlawful Payment Msde
Scarcely any one affects now seriously
to dispute the fact that Mr.. Hayes was
placed in the Office of President by false
and fraudulent electoral returns. 1t is
not Democrats alone who impugn the ti-
tie of Mr.. Hayes, but leading Republican
members of both Houses of Congress
openly ridicule the idea that he is in of.
fee by virtue of lawful election.
The only important point remaining
to be determined is, whether Mr.. Hayes
was party to the fraudulent conspiracy
that counted him in. In reference to
this new and startling piece of evidence
has just came into our possession, and
we will now proceed to lay it before our
readers. -
It is we'll known that the Hon. D. w.
Mahon, First Auditor of the Treasury,
recently resigned his Office. We are in
formed that bhis resignation was not vol
untary, but forced. Mr.. Sherman, Sec
retary of the Treasury, who acted in &C.
eordance with the wish Of Mr.. Hayes, re.
quired Mr.. Mahon TO approve a bill for
extra compensation in favor of Mr.. ].
Madison Wells. This Mr.. MahOn refused
TO do, because he considered it unlawful
and unjust. 1t is for this reason that
Mr.. Mahon resigned" as it is called. go,
Now why should Mr.. Hayes be 30 so.
icitous unlawfully to divert the public
money into the pocket of Mr.. Wells if
he had not before been secretly allied
with Wells in the crimes Of the Return
ing BoardP ...... i.... ... Ia.
No honest and innocent President
would have done what Mr., Hayes has
done in this matter. .,.r.
All honor is due Mr.. Mahon for stern
ly refusing to rob the Treasury to pay the
price of robbery, perjury and fraud.
The facts which we have stated come
to US from a we'll informed source. We
entertain no doubt of their accuracy. 1t
is certainly due to Mr.. Hayes that they
should be refuted or confirmed at once,

SCIENCE AND RELIGION.

James Anthony Froude, the eminent
English historian, has sent an elaborate
article % the International ReView Of
New York, containing most remarkable
statements upon the subject Of science
and religion. He holds that the present
state of religious opinion throughout the
world is extremely critical; that theolo-
gians no longer speak with authority;that
those who uphold orthodoxy cannot
agree on what ground to defend it; that
materialism all over Europe is respectful
ly listened to when it affirms that the
claims ofrevelation cannot be maintain
ed; and that the existence of God and Of
future state, the origin of man, the na>
ture of conscience, and the distinction
between good and evil, are all open
questions. He says that no serious con.
sequences, at least in England and Amert
ica, are yet outwardly apparent and that
the entire generation at present alive
may pass away before the inward change
shows itself in marked external symp>
toms; but that it is certain that religious
opinion is moving with increasing speed
along track which it will never retrace
and toward issues infinitely momentous.

A TERRIBLE FIGHT WITH A WILD
CAT
Woodland Record.l

On the 10th Of last month the father of
a family who live in the mountains above
Quicksilver, Cal, was aroused from the
table at which he was sitting by the cries
of a seven>year>old child from barn in
the rear Of the house. When he arrived
at the barn he saw an immense wild,cat
attacking his little boy. Not having time
to return for his gun, he seized a crowbar
that was lying near by and ran to the res
cue. The animal, On seeing him apt
proach, ,loosedits hold upon the child and
sprang upon the rescuer. The man, see
ing the animal was too close to admit Of
the use of his weapon, dropped it and
seized the cat by the neck. After se>
we're struggle in which the man was hor-
ribly bitten and !acerated, he succeeded
in killing the cat by choking it to death.
The child was also severely bitten.
