told the passengers what had happened
and showed them the bloody spectacle Of
his wife, whom the murderers had DRAGGED
some miles of, which struck them al
with stupefaction and amazement. They
carried him with them to Glasgow, and
relating the matter to the provost of thai
city, they Immediately sent to the king
about it, who. in three or four days, CANT
in person thither, being iesirous of seeing
the apprehending of this villain, who, fol
so many years. had been the pest of the
western part of his kingdom.
A body of about four hundred men, vel
armed, set out on horseback with the king.
who had several blood-hounds with him,
where he was attacked, out found no sign
of any habitation all over it. They then
went through 1t, which led down to the
seaside, when, the tide being out, and
going along the shore, they passed by the
cave of Sawney Beane without taking
any notice of it as place of habitation,
of habitation, until some of the blood
hounds running into il and setting up a
most hideous barking, bowling and yelp-
ing, the king and his attendants came
back and looked into it. Seeing nothing
but darkness, they did not know what TO
think. The blooc-hounds continued to
yelp. Torches were sent for and a great
many men ventured into it; though there
were several intricate turnings and wind
ings in this private recess from mankind,
yet they at last came TO the apartments of
Sawney Beane, where, to their great sur
prise, they beLeld the legs, arms, thighs,
hands, and feet of men, women, and chj.-
dren hung up like dried beef, and some
limbs lying in pickle, great mass of mon
ey, gold and silver watches, rings, swords,
pistols, and great quantity of clothes,
both linen and woolen, which they had
taken from those they murdered. All
these they seized, and took what human
flesh they found there and buried it. They
also brought out Sawney Bean and his
murderous family, which, besides himself
consisted of LIS wife, eight sons, six
daughters, eighteen grandsons and fourteen
granddaughter, begotten in incest. They
were ali pinioned and carried to Edinburgh.
All the country, as they passed along, flock
ed in multitudes to see this cursed tribe
who had no sooner arrived At their jour-
ney end than tney were put into Tolbooth
Tor one night, whence, the next day, being
conducted under strong guard to LeIth,
the men, without process or any manner
of trial, had their hands and legs cut of,
by which amputation they bled in some
hours TO death, and this torture being just
ly inflicted upon them in sight of the wife,
daughters, and grandchildren. The latter
were then burned In three separate fires,
all dying, Ike the men, without repentance,
but cursing and venting dire imprecations
TO the last gasp.

Presence of Mind.

John Wilkes was not a great general, but
he might have been one had his tastes led
HIM into military life. His presence of
mind never deserted him He held many
places of trust and responsible
". He was alderman, chamberlain Of
London and member Of Parliament, and no
man was more outspoken and daring In his
criticisms upon the Government. Once
upon time, when Wilkes had been more
severe than usual, and had reflected keenly
upon the King and his chief Ministers, a
warrant was issued from the Court OF the
Kings bench for his apprehension; also Of
the poet Churchill (Charles), Wiikes's
bosom friend and supporter. The chief
culprit knew that the warrant was out, and
that his friends name was on 1t, but he had
not thought to speak Of it. The Kings
messenger, with the warrant in hand,
found Wilkes in his chamber; Churchill
being at the time with him.
''Ah, Mr.. Wilkes, / must arrest you in
the Kings name"
''You have a warrant"
~ es, here 1t is.
"And you've got Charles Churchill's
name down alsOin
Yes"
Thompson, my Gear fellow said
Wilkes, turning to his companion, do you
run around to Churcnilps rooms and tell
him what Is coming. Tell him TO be Oh
for few days, and I'll have it all right foI
b IN.
Churchill nodded to his friend, and al
once hurried out, the officer OF the law lttl'
dreaming how the fish was slipping iron
his net before his very eyes.

The Oregon salmon Fisheries.

From the annual report Of the
Oregon Board of Trade We learn
that the salmon catch Of the past
spring and summer has exceeded
anslupatlOns, yielding $50, 900 cases
In 1875 catch of 23I, 500 cases was con-
sidered enormous; 1877 yielded 400, 600
cases, and 1879 as many as 435, 900 cases.
This rapid increase shows the vast extent
aud financial value OF the Oregon salmon
fisheries. OF the half million and more
cases packed this year, I'll, ,522 Cases were
sent to san Francisco, and 2S9, 24l Gases
were shipped direct to Great Britain.

nm honest man, the latter would pay him 81, 600
Even the : cond part of the oath would be too
n at a lulden Tor any mans conscience, and
Mr.. Swan was but tritling with the committee
when he made the proportion As for Mr.. Har-
rmau, he made no propO itiOn whatever to sur
render the money. He holds it as so much
"swag" and as he does not often make the ac-
cuaintance of $1,000 he does not propose to
part company with this, That IS about the
substance of his position as testified by himself
Everybody can see from his testimony that the
81 900 he exhibited was furnished him for the
occasion by his co-cOnspiratOrs.
1t is great crime for legislator to accept
bride But we think if there be a greater crime
Swan and Hartman have achieved it, even on
their own statement. They say, first, that they
skilfully led White into offering and paying the
money, second, that they declined to do the
thing which they agreed to do rs a consldera-
ton for the money, which was simply to resign
from fraudulent Legislature; third, that they
keep the money for their own private and per-
sonal benefit. Just let that testimony stand,
and are not these men rendered absolutely III
famous by their own statcmentsf
But the more plain and papable conclusion Is
that swan ana IldITlndH tStiuO" i'iHN''' '''N
that they never received dollar from White.
There was great point to be gained at the
time by making it appear that every man who
held back from the Fusion conspiracy was
brbed. and Swan and Hartman performed the
Infamous part assigned them of victmzlng
White for the benefit of the conspiracy. Had
White actually paid them money they would
have been too glad to surrcn Ter it to the Legs
lature for the sake of what little character they
had left. But when it came to paying $1,000
each from their own pockets for characters
which were not worth half the sum, they were
compelled 20 halt Their Flu on brethren had
become bankrupt by the collapse of the con-
spracy, and there was no practicable way Ill
which 50, 900 could be raised and surrendered
to the Legislature for the purpose o. getting
Swan and Hartman ont of a bad scrape
As an element in the case OF much signiii-
canoe aud weight, it appears that hr. Wallace
r. White is a young lawyer Of exceptionally
pure and upright character, and that as against
Swan and Hartman lis word would be good
anywhere in Maine before an impartial trbu-
nal I'm conscnting to work with such men as
Swan and Hartman, 1t appears that Mr. White
took great risk even in trying to induce them
70 do so good and honorable IN act as resignlns
from fraudulent Legislature. But tie men
who SOUGHT Mr.. Whites ruin have by their
own conduct amply indicated him fIom every
snsDicion Of wrOng-dOnC.

lead to the opinion that, having once made up
his mind to be a candidate, he will not retire
even though he should see defeat staring nm
in the face; but on the other hand, good sense
Is an equally conspicuous trait of his character

4 NODEL ULNOCRAT.

The Rhode Island Democrat, per Sc Is some
thing of a joker. Not that he means to be
amusing. for he is tremendously serious per
son. He sits up nights inventlng Impossible
schemes for the rescue of the Government from
the clutches of the Republican party, and
whenever he can get his brethren together III II
convention he informs them that the future
looks bright to him. for he is sure the restora-
lion he dreams Of with its accompanying redls-
tribntion of spoils, is near at hand. This ex
cites the convention almost to frenzy, and while
II Is in that superheated state 1t invariably emlts
q se,ies of resolutions which we feel justified in
nronouncing the most magnificent productions
of the kind ever exhibited in any country.
The annual repetition Of this entertaining
no, formance came off In Providence on Monday.
At the proper stage OF the proceedings, the rsso-
buttons appeared. They started off with con
,,rotnIat,ons to the country upon the multi

decay, land advanced gracefully to n decara-
tion that the names of the corrupt aud schom-

districts arose mt this point to say that as he I'M
dersiood it Ben Hill was not Republican leader,
and he thought that allusion to stencil had
better be omitted, but he was yankcd down by
the Goa tail, and the reading proceeded. The

Nobodv thinks that Mr. Town>hcnd, Of Hi
nois. has behaved hike a gentleman. lie de-
cciyed the House ana his associate members in
order ia defeat one OF It's rules; Dragged of his
smartncss i'm 1ickery SO that papers friendly to
In. views gave HIM The credit Of having done q
thing more sharp than honest; and then lost
his tcmner, when Nj. Garfield uttered the PEE
else ruth about his conduct, and reSorted TO
abusive language fit only for knot of black
Guards in tipsy wnugle After the exhibition
which he made Of himself, Mr.. Garfield was
quite night in publicly treating him as one who
could not possibly insult any gentleman. y
iudge on tho bench Is not expected to pay any
attention TO the abusvencss Of tie knayes who
come before him for punishment.
On the other hand, the Organization Of the
House 10y tie Democratic party is diseraceful
and scandalous in the extreme. Protesting to
he recommending advocates Of free trade,
Democrats in the House have deliberately Sc
lected as their Speakers politician who wishes
10 suppress all action upon the tariff knowing
his intentions in that matter, for they had been
manifested by his previous acts, the Democrats,
who have gained votes IN certain districts by
promising that they would do wonders, II
elected, to secure repeal or reduction of duties,
have nevertheless chosen Mr.. Randall, and
riycu 10 him power 10 form the committees 50
that no action on the tariff could be expected.
II WAS the intention Of some tricky politicians
Of that party to make a great fuss about the
tariff. but 10 take care that nothing whatever
,hould be done about it, and Mr.. Randall ap-
po;ptcd such committee that its decision not
70 rcport any bill changing the tariff took no
well-iuformed person 10y surprise. The deccp-
ton by Mr.. Townshend, therefore, was pre-
coded and prompted 10y the deception of which
ms party as "a whole Is guilty. That party does
not dare to assume the responsibility OF repeal
iug or reducing duties on imports, and yet II
ot,cmpts, in every convention and IN every pO-
linc,l campaign, TO cheat the voters who favor
that course with the idea that it means to abol-
isb or reduce duties IA soon as II has power to
do so. No cheat can be more dlsreputabe than
that of which the Democratic party has been
entity in this natter and between Mr.. Town
sbcnd. who decciyes his fellow members in re-
card to the proper reference of a proposed bill,
and other Democrats who deliberately and re-
peatedly deceive their constituents, pretending
70 want free trade or tariff reform while so or
oanizing the House as to defeat both, there Is
M perceptible distinction in point of honesty
or honor.

THE BRIBERY INVESTIGATION IN MAINE.

HE BHfDEh1 NV 10 4 Wv ~ N IIN T..
The committee of the Maine House Of Repre-
scntatives appointed to investigate the alleged
bribery of Swan and Hartman by Wallace r.
White, made report exOnerating White from
the charge But the committee, In our judy
ment, made too mcagrc u report and did not
expose. as they ought to have done, the strong
reasons for believing that Swan ard Hartman
had been engaged in a disgraceful conspiracy
of which White was to be made the victim
The evidence, as We have CLEANED 1t from the
Maine papers, is conclusive on this point, but
the report did not marshal the facts as Il or
ouebly as it should have done. The public
read the report and not the evidence In detail,
and heuce arises The necessity of making the
report comprehensive without being tedious.
Let MS give an illustration Of the deficiency of
the report In all the history Of bribcres OF
attempted brbories Of legislators i'll this coun-
try, we have never before known aninsance iu
which those exposing the crime did not ut once
place tho money at the disposal of the Lcgisla-
ture. When Mr.. Swan and Mr.. Hartman swOre
they had received "a thousand dollars each from
Wallace Il. White the natural and inevitable
step for them WAS 10 surrender the money, to be
disposed OF b. the Legislature III some appro-
pirate way. But Mcssrs. Swan and Hartman
did no such thing. They held on 10 The money,
and the testimony developed The fact that Swan,
acting as treasurer of the town of Minot, had
deposited $500 to the credit Of his town in
Portland bank and had used $500 more to buy
4 bond for the sinking fund OF his town-Swan
admitting that the 81 900 50 used was the den
teal 81 900 which he sworc was paid TO him by
White, and everybody except Swan seeing tina,
it WAS town money he had been Furnishing from
the first ~ the brIbc. Swan impudcntiy stated
that hc would return The money TO White upon
Whites acknOw odgnG that be had handed 1t
10 him ms brbe That is, If MI White would
swear that Inc himself was criminal and Swan
