Two Against Thirty.

The following particulars of how the
braveyoung Americans-George Green,
of Texas, and Frank Seuter, of Maine
fought, whipped, and put to fight
thirty Mexican brigands, reads more like
the invention of some fiction writer
than an actual, authenticated occur
renee. The account is furnished bv
young Seuter to Portland paper:
"We left Guanajuato at o'clock a.
m. The weather was biting cold, but,
as usual, we took our seats on the top
of the coach, with revolvers and cart
ridges about us and Winchester carbines
on our knees, After riding about three
hours, and just at light, we heard a
rush of horses at our side and shot
fired over our heads with an order to
get down and surrender. We answered
the summons with two shots into the
crowd, and the man in front of GEORGES
rifle fell, and his companions started
for the leading mules to stop them and
tangle them up, but, when twenty yards
from me, [ rolled him from his horse.
and did not see him move limb after
ward. We then turned to see thirty
we'll armed-and-mounted Mexicans fol-
lowing and firing. We put in quick
shooting, and soon drove them back
seventy yards or more. They then
tried to.circle us, but, as we turned our
attention to the head men, they all
broke and collected in bunch. We
then had our coats off, and placed in
front of us, with 100 rounds between
us, and we ordered the coach to be
stopped, and began our fine work at
sharp-shocting. This seemed to make
them wild, and, with yell like Co
manche Indians, twenty or thirty of
them came down on us at full speed,
firing all the way, and wilder sight I
never care to see. It was no use to
give up then, as they would have cut
us to pieces if we had surrendered: SO
we met them in solid style, showing
what Winchester rifle was good for,
and, as luck would have it, after firing
slxty-hve shots, we drove them back at
full speed. One fellow, whose horse I
shot from under him, jumped behind
the dead animal and deliberately emp.
tied four shells at me over the saddle
and lodged, under the horse, two of my
shots, but my third took his wind.
In the afray George was shot in the
shoulder, but it was only flesh wound
and we kept on our way with guard
of eleven furnished us at the next city
four miles beyond. There were SC
many bushes we could not tell exactly
how many were killed, but we are sure
five robbers and four horses will no
trouble travellers again.
Inside the coach was Spaniar6
who threw his revolver from the win
dow, Mexican who wrapped his heaG
in blanket and put his revolver unde1
him, German who had pocket-pisto
and wisely did not shoot, and lad,
who did the praying; SO you see what /.
party we had to depend on, and what
lucky escape we had. i shall never pc
better help from any one man than
did there from George"

actions of trading character in which
he had previously engaged, because he

controversy is very warm.

AN official of the Philadelphia Mint
says shat the demand for cents is so
great that the orders cannot be promptly
filled. "There are parts of the coun-
try" he adds, where they are as rare as
gold dollars are here. In the South
the cent is almost unknown, the smallest
coin being 5-cent piece. Recently,
however, there has been some demand
for them from merchants in Georgia
and Alabama. In the far West there is
but little call for them. but when one
gets to st. Louis, or east of that point,
then the cent becomes familiar. Where
ever there are 6-cent fares on the
street-cars there is a demand from that
city. Now, Louisville seldom, if ever,
calls upon us, while Cincinnati is con-
tinually crying for the 1-cent piece.
New York consumes a big lot, and so
do the Eastern States. The 2-cent
piece was good help TO us for time,
but none of them have been coined for
ten years, and all that are redeemed are
recoined into 1-cent pieces. Competi-
ton in trade increases the demand for
cents. Whenever retail trade is briskest,
then the cent is needed most"

the Democratic party can usurp the
Government of Mississippi, it can usurp
the Government of Maine, and New
Hampshire, and enough more States to
secure control of the National Govern
ment. The committee of Southern Re-
publicans who demand that the Repub-
1can party shall IN the forthcoming
Presidential contest canvass every
Southern State are right. The fact that
stealing States has been transferred
from the South to the extreme North
shows that acquiescence in election
frauds anywhere is suicidal as well as
cowardly.

The Fraud Folly.
New York Tribune


The limits of the Democratic stupidity
have not yet been discovered. Exceed
ingly close 10 those limits though, must
be the pretense that New York was car
ried for Gen. Garfield by means of fraud.
ulent colonization of Republican voters.
Voters colonized must first have oeen
registered and subjected to the close scru.
tiny OF active workers from every fraction
OF every school district. II the Demo.
cratic workers in New York, representing
so great majority OF the population, per.
mltted over 10000 10 register and TO vote
iraudulently tor the minority, that party
ought to be beaten for its supreme stupid
ity, If for nothing else
Ii there Is single intelligent persoa In
this Or any other State who imagines that
this charge may have some foundation,
perhaps he will kindly inform us from
what Safe the colonized voters were
taken. The charge of colonization has
this disadvantage, that il will rot stick
unless 1t can be shown where the voters
went from, as well as where they fraudu.
lently located. Thus every person of
sense knows al once that Mr. Barnum was
lying when he asserted that the Repubi.
cans were taking voters to Florids, where
they could accomplish nothing, from New
York, where every Republican vote was
needed. III there ever was a more stupid
talsehood tod by anybody, certainly it
was not told by al American II 10000
voters came into New York, where did
they come irony Certainly they were
not taken from other States where
the Republicans needed every vote they
could command. If from any other State
that State must show some relative loss OF
Republican woes; but every Nor heru
State, except Maine and the Pacific
States, show both positive and relative
increase of Republican vctes. Not even
at y -mocratic headquarters can there be
found creature 50 exqulsitely silly as to
suppose that voters were moved to New
York B 600 miles from the doubtful
Pacific States, or from ;he close S ates OF
Maine, New Hampshire, Connecticut or
New Jersey. But the net gain 10 Repub
llcan maj 0r ties, on the total vote of 1876
was 8 per cent cent. in Vermont, 4 ? per
