NOT A PANTHE B

Under the pressure of incontrovertable
facts, We are finally forced to contradict
our account of tho panther tragedy re-.
ported fort night since. Mr.. N. B. Rid
ole, residing near the scene of the terri
bic tragedy, has kindly furnished us with
tho facts of tie case. He writes:
II notice terrible tragedy has taken
place in my neigborhood, of which you
have been misinformed entirely. Tie
fearful tragedy thus reported happened
about two hundred yards from my resi-.
dence, in a very small strip of woods
On Friday IN orning, at O'Clock, as the
colored people were gong from church,
one of the negro men on my place took
his wife out to this strip of woods and
gave her q sound thrashing,::duringw VIII ich
one of the other men on the place,
hearing tho cries OF the woman, went to
her assistance. On reaching the wood
the brute COMPELLED his wife to desist
from screaming, whereupon our would be
hero became frightened and returned to
the safe security of his "old log cabin"
There has not been seen bear or a pan
ther in this neighborsood for ten yea rs
to my certain knowledge. You will
please print this for the bentit of those
who circulated that outlandish report"
SIC transit gloria And thus the start
ling vision of a Dung aud promising son
of some grand old African chief, as the
prey of the willy panther, is rudely dis
PEELED by the less thril ling panoramic
view of black, heathenish ghoal l.. the
very common and apparently amusing
pastime of chastising his wife, who, her
self perhaps, is little less than a Guinea
virago and we'll deserving her chastise-
ment. So enig,natical arc the signs OF
the times that we are sometimes half per-
suaded to doubt the we'll authe nticated
story of 'Little Red Riding Hood" and
the wolf which feasted on so dainty q
morsel.

DEANE's 30 &aNZAs.

Coli Deane, noted mining expert
and stock dealer, at public meeting in
San Francisco, informed his audience
that he knew Of three undeveloped bo-.
nanZas ON the Comstock lode. One he
located in the Ophir, another in. the
Hale & Norcross, and the third in the
Yellow Jacket. He said these bonan-
1as were we'll known to the managers
of the mines, but they did not care to
.spen them. or make their existence
known to the public at present. John
w. Mackay, of the bonanza firm,
which contrels the mines, proposes to
Deane that if he (Deane) pays for the
work until the bonanzas are found, as
stated, he (Mackay) will give him back
the total amount of his expenditures
and will pay him five hundred thousand
dollars as a reward for his services.
Deane accepts, the. proposition, pro-
vided it is put in writing; and as Mr..
Mackay can not back down without
creating the impression that Deape's
assertions are well founded, the latter
may be given an opportunity to prove
his allegations.

NAMES RETURNING Board.

The Governor and Council of Maine
have given notice that they will be in
session from the lst to the 18th of De-
cember, for the purpose of examining
the official returns, and candidates
claiming irregularities for other than
causes presumed to vitiate their cleo
ton, will have a reasonable opportunity
to be heard personally, or by author
lied counsel.
That is the substance of proclama-
ton issued by the men who constitute
the Maine Returning Board. 1t is
claimed by defeated candidates for the
State Legislature that their opponents
were elected by fraud and bribery at
the polls. A majority of them being of
the same political faith as the Governor
and Council, who are authorized by law
to canvass the returns and issue certifi-
Gates of election, it is insinuated that
in many instances candidates who re-
ceived majority of the votes poiied at
the election will be counted out. 1t is
the Louisiana farce with the scene
changed from the extreme South to the
extreme North, and tho principal actors
Democrats instead of Republicans. 1t
was claimed at tho Presidential election
that the Louisiana Returning Board had
the sole and exclusive right to throw
out votes and declare whom it pleased
elected when the evidence showed that
fraud or intimidation had been prac-
ticed at the polls. That the Beard ex-
ercised it's authority to a sufficient ex-
tent to give las partisans control of the
Legislature and Hayes the electoral
vote of Louisiana, will not be disputed
The Republican speakers and papers
throughout the Union approved the
course of the Board, and the, Electoral
Commission decided, by vote of eight
Republicans to seven Democrats that
the decision of the Board was final.
Now, she tables are turned and the
scene is changed to Maine, where the
Returning Board is Democratic. The
defeated candidates claina that their
opponents procured their election by
fraud, and bribery. The Governor and
council of the State is to hear evidence,
and determine. whether such is the.
the. fact. If they follow the, example
OF the Louisiana Returning Board, and
throw out returns sufficient to give the
Democrats and. Greenbacker a ma
jority of the Legislature, will the Re-
publicans, as in the Louisiana case, say
they are, right in doing so2 Honest
men of all parties will undoubtedly say
that Republicans or Democrats, whether,
in Louisiana, Maine or elsewhere, who,
are guilty of fraud or bribery at cleo
tions, ought to. be prosecuted In the
Courts, and that partisan returning
board ought not to have opportunity to
throw out the votes of a county or pre-.
cinct, at will, to further party, ends;
but, unfortunately, the honest element,
OF parties is rarely represented on re-
turning boards.
