to the negro exodus: LET 'em &c.

The opposition to Tilden has finally

Stunning Facts talyeh By Senator Thur.
Eiaa.

In 1876 there we're 4s63 Supervis-
ors OF election appointed under these
laws, of which 1916 were appointed
in the State of New York-nearly one
half Of the whole number. There we're
1910 Marshals, and more than one
fourth of them in New York. The
main point is, where did the money
goY In that year there was expended
S2S5, 921. How much was expended
to protect the poor freedman down in
the South where in the night rides the
White-Leaguer, and where the Ku-
klux Cypress him In the ten South
ern States there was expended s4S,-
719, and in the other States 1921, $50
was disbursed. That is to say, about
one-sixth of the money went to the
South, and fve-sixths to the North.
That is the way the freedman was pro-
tected. They made the South give
the negro a right to vote, but when it
came to using the money of the United
States, for every dollar they gave to
protect him they

at the North and deprive men of their
right to vote there. The Senator from
New York (Mr. Conkling) had care
fully enumerated the different varie-
ties Of thugs, shoulder-hitters and
roughs which formed a part of his con-
stituency. If New York city were
raked from Harlem to the Battery,
there could not be found in it a worse
set of men than the Deputy Marshals
selected i'll 1876 and 1873 to execute
the laws. OF the 1927, $50 spent in
the North in 1876, 1856, 000-being
more than one half-was sent to New
York State. The roughs of the ada
cent States did not like to see their
brethren in New York getting all the
money, and so, in order to pacify them,
some Of it was sent out of that State
$37 900 went to Pennsylvania. That
vas ChouSliJ DCCduSS the local mana
gers of the. machine in Philadelphia
knew how to manage the elections per-
fectly, and did not need any help from
Federal supervisors to secure the cleo
ton of Republicans. But $37 900 was
spent in Pennsylvania to satisfy the
clamor of roughs. Then they paid
some attention to Baltimore, and sent
$4,000 to Maryland. Jersey City, a
pretty important town, got $12, 276-
not much but it helped to paeify the
brethren. So these four States, New
York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey and
Maryland, absorbed S217 900 of $685.
900, leaving $68,O0 for the other
thirty States. In 1873 there were
1881 supervisors, of which 1853 were
in New York and 1862 in Pennsylva-
MIA, leaving only 1865 for all the other
States. Of the 4725 marshals, more
than one. half were in New York. The
expenditures were S222,714 OF which
onl Y 1924 went South. The gains
of the Republican party in New York,
New Jersey and Pennsylvania will
show why this money was spent in the
North.

The Living Issue.

The real issue has come at last, di
vested of all extraneous points-the
one question toward which radicalisn
has been steady tending for many
years, and which can no longer be
avoided. 1t is the plain issue ola free
ballot box or bayonet elections. And
this committal of the Republican party
to the bayonet doctrine clearly points
to the nomination of Grant. The vote
is upheld BY the Robesons and Logans,

A MOTHERS GRIEF.
A Divorced wife Forced to Surrender up
Her Children.
Detroit Post and Tribune.

There arrived in this city yesterday 4
man named Henry Livingstone, of
Omaha, who applied to the Wayne Cir
cult Court for a writ 10 surrender his
two miner children, who were then in
her custody. Livingstone set forth in
his petition that about year ago he OBJ
tanned a,divorcc from his wife on the
ground Of adultery, and according 10 the
the terms Of the decree was given the
custody of the children. Livingstone
sent his wife 10 this city where her
father resides, ard upon her promising
TO lead better life, allowed her to bring
the children 10 Detroit with her He
set up in his petition that his wife had
not fulfilled her promises TO him and de-
sired to get possession of the children
As Livingstone was armed with the de-
cree of divorce, which fully established
his right 10 the custody ofthe little ones,
Judge Reilly granted the writ and is
sued the warrant asked for

officers learned that the lady had gone
to her fathers house, taking the chill
dren with her. and accordingly Born
man started out IN search of her while
Edmunds remained at the house to
await her return. Mrs. Livingstone ar
rived home soon after and Edmunds
informed her of the nature of his mis-
sion, and advised hel to submit TO the
decision of the court without causing
them any trouble This she consented

clothing and made other preparations
for their journey to Omaha, when Born
man returned, accompanied by Living
stone.
Suddenly the woman seemed to COM
prehend for the first time that the mai
esty Of the law had been invoked to
wrest her loved ones from her, and
clasping them in her arms, she begged
the officers TO let them remain with her;
The husband, howeN or, was inexorable
and told the officers to do their duty
Then the mother pleaded to be allowed
TO keep the youngest child, her baby,
and, with the little girl clasped tightly
in her arms, threw herself at the feet of
the officers, and implored them to per-
nit her 10 retain her darling
Again Livingston turned deaf ear to
the entreaties Of his wife, and warned
the officers that time was passing. The
men Of law wiped away their tears, and
in the tenderest manner possible took
the child from its mothers arms and left
the hou.c. The unfortunate woman
gazed wildly ut the visitors as they left,
and then, uterring piercing shrek,
fell fainting to the floor
Livingstone left Tor home at $50 o'clock
last evening, taking his children with
him.

something About Cork.

The Tree from which cork is obtained
is species Of oak, which grows plenti-
fully in the south of France, Spain, Al.
geria, and same parts of Italy; but il il
from the Atlantic side of France and
from Portugal that we obtain the larger
part of our supply. The tree is rather
handsome III appearance-more so, in
deed, than the oak when full grown. Ii
appears TO be designed specially to sup
ply its valuable bark, for the wood is OF
little value for building purposes, al
though it is fair fuel. When it is twenty
years old or thereabouts it periodically
throws off its bark, after it has grown Of
prodigious thickness, and then it begins
to form q new covering II has been
found best, however, not to let the tree
have its own way, for the bark thrown
off is not quite as satisfactory. Nature
needs little help, and the bark is arti-
ticially removed from the tree by the
following process:
In the months Of July and August,
when the zap flows plentifully, a circu-
lar incision is first made n few inches
above the surface Of the ground, then a
similar circular cut round the trunk i'm
mediately under the main branches, care
being taken not to peIetrate the inner
bark. The part intervening between the
two cuts is then cut down longitudinally
in three or four places, which divides the
bark into broad sheets. The tree Is now
left for short period of time, so that
the moisture from the sap may dry. The
bark is then taken from the stem, more
or less curved according to the breadth
and diameter of the trees from which it
has been taken. The bark grows again,
and as this tree lives, according to DIR.
Hamel, hundred and fifty years or more
its disbarking takes place every eight,
nine or ten years, the quality of the bark
improving with the increasing age Of the
tree, which is not in the slightest degree
injured by the barking process. At the
first and second gathering, the bark is
only fit for floats for fishermcn's nets and
other inferior uses; ii is not until the
third disbarking that the substance has
obtained the desired perfection for the
manufacture of corks. The sheets, lay
ers or table, of cork, "a they are called,
are now scraped on the outer surface TO
remove the corser parts Of the epldermis
and any epiphytes or other extraneous
substance. They are:then thrown into
deep pits and covered with water to soft
en- them, in order to be flattened by
pressure under heavy stones, after which
they are dried over a fire, being frequent
ly turned during the process to prevent
their returning to their original shape.
