An Old Fellow Of the Forest That
TESTED Their Mettle.
The Roscommon (Mich. }

The Roscommon (Mich.) 'Pioneer,' -
in recent issue says:
On Saturday last Harvey Emery OF
Denton township, while out hunting,
encountered huge bear, which he fir
ed at and wounded, when bruin took
to the woods. Unable to follow the
trail across the plains, Harvey went
home for the dog, and, accompanied by
his brothers, Jim and Will, started "on
trail" Putting the dog on the track
where the blood from the wound was
fresh, they started on lively trot in
pursuit. Jim being the heetest on foot
soon distaDced the others, and after a
long race through brush and thicket,
the dog overlook Mr.. Bruin and worried
him until Jim appeared on the scene,
rather abruptly, or sooner than he an
ticipated-almost stumbling over the
bear before he saw him. The enraged
animal clutched him with both paws
around the waist, the lad, with grea.
presence of mind, grabbing him by the
Lose, and throwing his head up, yelled
Out. boyo, ho . sVl b'O h' 'N"'
not relishing the grip on his nose
with lightning rapidity loosed his hold
and dealt Jim blow on the arm that
held him which sent him spinning into
the brush, and bruin disappeared
again. But the dog was not disposed
to let him off SO easy. Jim jumped up
on log to see il possible where the
bear was Git was getting dark then
and he soon found out-he was right
there-and he no sooner struck the log
than bruin had him again, and, as the
boys were on hand now, life struggle
ensued, jim on the ground, the bear
ON him, Harvey on the bear, worrying
him around the head and nose to keep
him from biting. Will, in the mean
time, feeling in the twilight tor the
bear shoulder, put the muzzle of the
gun behind the shoulder and sent a
ball through him. The bear did not
fall, aud Harvey, who had by this
time got ont his knife, buried it deep
in his side couple of times, when bru-
in fell over dead. Jim is badly scratch,
ed and mangled, but not seriously
hurt.

Two LeaIOus (jirIN and Water.

A pretty young girl, who gave her
name as Fanny Jones, and said she
lived at No. IA Dover street, New York,
was arraigned in the Tombs court on
Wednesday morning, charged with
having thrown kettle of scalding
water over another girl, named Mary
Caffrey, living in the same house. She
claimed that the girl Caffroy was intox
icated and broke in the door of her
room, but from the evidence of the
complainant, whose head and hands
were covered with baAdages, it appear.
ed that both were rivals in the affections
of young man. Justice Otterbourl
committed Miss Jones for trial, and sem
the complainant to the house of deten'
ton.

The Original Maud Muller.

Mr.. Whittier's own statement Of the
origin of his poem of "Maud Muller" is
quoted by correspondent of the
Springfield "Republican." He was
driving with his sister through York,
Me-, and stopped at harvest field tc
inquire the way. 4 young girl raking
hay near the stone wall stopped to an
swer their inquiries. Whittier noticed
as she talked that she bashiully raked
the hay around and over her bare feet,
and she was fresh and fair. The little
incident left its impression, and he
wrote out the poem that very evening.
"But if had any idea," he said, "that
the plaguey little thing would have been
sOIliked, | should have taken more pains
with it," To the inquiry as to the ii.
tie, Maud Muller, he said it was sug,
gested to him and was not a selection.
1t came as the poem came. But he
gives it the short German pronuncia
ton, as Meuler not the broad Yankee

10 decisive any sensible person who
would take the trouble to make q cal
culation, and we would not refer to II
at all II 1t were not TO prevent well
meaning people who but seldom pay
little attention TO such matters from
being deceived by such an array Of fig
ures which are not truthful. The
truth is Just as we have stated sew
sral times; the floating debt up to Jan
uary ls., 1879, being slll,o"o in
round numbers. The Legislature au.
thorized the City Council to borrow
sl45, 900 with which. to fund.this float
ing debt, and after paying commissions
for negotiating the losn there was sl4o,,
$50 left, with which the 1000 was
paid oil and the balance Of S29, 100 was
lett to pay current expenses contracted
in 1879 under the Democratic Council.
Anybody Of ordinary perception can
see that this latter amount belongs &c
the expenses for 1879 and when count
ing the deficiencies of the present yeai
it must be deducted from the money
raised by the revenues and taxes from
the city, as it is entirely separate from
them. Such deception as that found
in yesterdays Gazette" is easily seen
through,
Daily Republican., 1879-10-17
The Floating Debt.

A day or two ago we stated what
those best informed in city finances
knew full we'll, that the floating debt
on the first of January 1879 was $ll1,
900 in round numbers, but it seems
that the exact amount was $lll,500.
This amount, Of course, included all
the city owed in notes and debts, which
had not been funded. The City Solici-
tor decided that the City Council conld
not ask the Legislature for an act to
allow the sale of bonds for a greater
amount, as all debts contracted after
January lst came within the fiscal year
of 1879, and were provided for iy the
appropriations for that year. The City
Council, however, got the Legislature
to allow it to sell $l45,000 worth of
bonds which were sold about the first
of April last, from which sl40, $50 were
realized after paying commission of
81, $50 for selling the bonds. After
paying off the floating debt which had
accrued up to the first of January,
which was gill 800, there were $29, 100
left which was covered into the City
Treasurer and applied to paying off the
current expenses of the city. This is
the whole long and short of the matter
and 10 twisting or squirmilg, nor de
cep eptive construction Of fguIe tables, al
appeared in the Gazette" last evening
can enable anybody but the prejudiced
to make anything else of 1t. by counting
the notes given by the City Council af-
ter January first up to August which
amounted to some $40, 900 the "Ga-
zette" makes out floating debt oi
$50, 900 to which it says the $l40, $50
was applied. The whole matter is
made very plain now. For the purpose
of making things look plausible and to
deceive the people the paper referred
to has taken $40, 900 Of the debt of1s79
since the Democratic Council came into
power and has added it to the floating
debt Of 1878, and then thinks it can
make people believe it is part of the
debt Of 1878, thereby increasing it to
Sl5O,000. The trick is too transparent

Organize.

The Republicans in our State should
take steps to effect thorough organi-
zation of the party at an early day.
They must do so if they expect to sue
coed. Arrangements must be made to
insure the payment OF the tax Of every
member of the party who is unable to
meet the demand himself; and an effort
must also be made to have every Re-
publican assessed. When this is done
the party may hope to triumph in New
Castle and also in Sussex county
Through thorough organization the as
SCISSORS and collectors, and We may add
the Levy Court and also the Clerk Of
the Peace, may be compelled to do their
duty fully, SO that a full vote may be
assured, and full, fair and honest
vote is all that We desire, as we firmly
believe Republican victory would be
the result. Energy and organization
can ercome the obstacles to Republi
can success, interposed by law that
was enacted to cheat poor men out o.
their votes and the county out of its
Legitimate taxes. Repeaters can also
be prevented from polluting the ballo'
box, although the managers of tht
Democratic party guarantee them one
dollar for each time that they may dt
so.
Rowdy policemen must also be forced
to keep within the requirements of thu
law or suffer for their misdeeds. They
must be made to understand that thu
Republicans cannot be coerced or ar
rested without cause or provocation
The chief executive of our city should
be informed that Republicans know
their rights and dare to maintain them
There must be fair dealing at futur'
elections or serious conflict MAJ
be the result. Inspectors of election
must also be required to deal honestl,
and fairly. When the legality of
vote is disputed it must not be put int
the ballot box until the question is sat
isfactorily settled. The Republican in
spector must be consulte,!, and no
treated with contempt, as was the cas-
n certain wards at the last city cleo

THE City Treasurer last night report
ed $43, ,422 in bank to the credit OF the
city for current expenses. Deduct
from this S29,650, the amount left
from Sl45, 900, after paying off the
floating debt and commissions allowed
for negotiating the sale Of bonds, there
would be but sl3,772 in the Treasury,
with two months and half of the iis

ed by the result Of the election In oh'o
on Tuesday. Ewing for Governor was
the least Of their concern II they couid
have but carried the Legislature ana
retained Thurman or elected some other
Democrat to the Senate. Even the loss
of Thurman would not have been so
much lsmentsd were 1t not that IN sli
probability It will result in assuring q
Republican majority in the Senate IN
1881. The Senate now stands Al Demo
Gratis "a, Republicans and one lnde-
pendent. On the Democratic side the
terms Of IA Senators will expire with
the present Congress, of whom Eaton,
Mcdonald, Randolph, Herman, Thur
man and Wallace, are from the north,
and there is now not the least doubt
that with one possible exception they
will be succeeded by Republicans. All
of the States represented in part by
them have been carried by the Repub-
|licans at the last election held, the ex'
ception beingI lana and there can be
no doubt that If an election had been
held in that State this fall she would
have also arrayed,, herself with her other
sister states in the ranks of the solid
north.
On the Republican side the terms OF
eleven Senators will expire with the
present Congress, namely: Booth,
Hamlin, Davis, Chandler, Mcmillan,
Bruce, Paddock, Sharon, Burnside, Ed.
munds, and Cameron, of Wisconsin.
Of these all will be returned or other
Republicans in their places except
Bruce of Mississippi whom thsshot guns
will defeat. To fill these vacancies the
Republicans are sure Of e.-cting IL
Senators, from the followin States ::
California, Maine, Massachusetts,, Mich
igan, Minnesota, Nebraska, Nevada,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
Vermont and Wisconsin, which would
make the Republican strength IN the
next Senate IS, or one more than 1t
now is in The Forty sixth Congress.
The Democrats will elect nine Senators
from the following States: Delaware,
Florida, Maryland, Mississippi, Mis-
souri,. Tennessee, Texas, Virginia,
and West Virginia, which would
make their number SO. This calcula-
ton leaves out, as doubtful, Connecti-
cut, Indiana, New Jersey and New
York. Should the Republicans carry
all four, which is highly probable, they
would have 80 Senators, which would
give them majority of l, without
David Davis, and with him. OF the
four States classified as doubtful, the
Democrats must carry three in order to
maintain their supremacy in the senate'
whereas, should the Republicans carry
three of them, and it is reasonably Ger
tain that they will, the Democrats
would not have majority even with
the vote Of David Davis, because in that
event, the Senate would lstand IS Re-
publicans, 81 Democrats and ! Indie.
pendent.
1t was a knowledge OF these facts that
made th. Democrats so anxious to carry
the Ohio Legislature, and thus secure a
Democratic successor TO Thurman, but
now that the tide has set in against
them it is not unlikely that Kellogg
may be unseated, and that even an at
tempt may be made to unseat ingalls, OF
Kansas, in order to maintain their
supremacy in the next Senate.

Too Mucu solid south.


From the time when 1t was found that
q Solid South was the inevitable result
Of the southern shot gun policy, 1t was
lust az evident that a solid north would
Of necessity follow. This state CT affairs
was not::desirabls by the Northern peo'
ple who would much rather have seen
the country in the enjoyment Of liber-
ty, peace and prosperity even If 1t in
volved the ascendency ofths Democrats
to power than to have it torn to pieces
by sectional animosities and jealousies
and divided into solid south against
. solid north. The whole blame OF this
belongs to the Southern Bourbon De.
mocracy who in o,der to seize the polit-
ical reins Of the Government inaugura-
ted reign of terror and blood in the
South, which prevents one party, com,
posing one half Of the people of the
South, from having any voice whatever
in making the laws. That solid Dem
ocratic South has resulted in solid
Repu blican North, We have but to look
at the results of the elections that have
been held in Maine, California, Colora-
do, Connecticut, Ohio and Iowa, which
the Re publicaps have carried with their
old time majorities. 1t is all right that
these States should vote as they have
Just voted, but that they should be i'm
PEELED to do so in order to counteraet
the evil influence of a solid South does
not promise a happy or secure future
bat it has been forced upon the North
against its desires, Just as the civil war
was forced upon it. Nothing conld be
worse for the Republic than that it
should be sectionally divided by poll
tics, for the section that is defeated in a
national contest is left virtually without
representation in the national govern
ment. The South, however, as soon as
it obtained control of the Southern State
governments, resolved to crush out Re.
publicanism in that section even though
it had to be done by bloodshed, and she
has etfectually done it. If the Repub-
licans were permitted to vote at the
polls there would no. be so much
cause of complaint even if they were
defeated, but SO completely have they
been stamped out that they dare make
no attempt to re-organize without jeop
ardizing their lives. All this has re.
suited in bringing into activity the old
feeling against the South, as is fully
shown by the elections that have al
ready been held. In 1866 the northern
states that voted for the Democracy
were Indiana, New York, Connection
and New Jersey. Since then all but In
diana have given large Republican ma
jorities, and should the same ratio o
Republican gains be kept up as they
have done in this fall's collections, In
diana will join the solid north. There
has been quite too much solid south in
the mixture of Democracy with which
it was proposed to govern the Union. Ii
was meant to do one thing and it has
done the other. 1t proposed a grand
victory for Democracy all over the
Union and it has ended in a grand de-
feat except in the solid South.
