had occasion, among the duties imposed upon
me, to investigate those very facts. When
Tilden's crew went South they loudly pro-
claimed that South Carolina. Florida and
Louisiana had voted for him, and fraud and
corruption had wrested them away. On South
Carolina that claim has long been dropped
Their OWE Congressional committee wholly
abandoned it. Where did we get our vague
ideas of wrong about Florida? Why, from
newspaper dispatches penned by Manton Mar
BILE and all that band OF detective bribers. With
one hand they held out brides and with the
other, at the same moment of time, they in
dited diatribles about the wickedness of our
people and hallelujahs on their own virtues
Never since the world was born did it witness
such spectacle of hypocrisy. But it remained
for the Potter committee, appointed by them
selves, to develope the truth and shame the
untruth In Florida the returning board,
under the law laid down by the Attorney Gen.
eral Cooke, a Democrat, and one of their own
number, found that Hayes had 900 majority.
Subsequently. on petition of the Governor, the
Supreme Court laid down the rule that no
amount of proof of fraudulent voting gave the
board any power to go behind the returns The
board then canvassed the returns, and even
under that rule found that Hayes had 200 ma
jority Subsequently, for partisan purposes
the Democratic State Government raised
another board, and that board, with all its par
tisan tendencies and partisan purposes, could
only figure So majority against us on vote of
over 10000. What a. narrow margin this was
on which to found charges OF corruption.
Compare their own actions in this very State.
Last year Horatio Bisbee, Jr., a sturdy
son of Maine, with all tie pluck and per-
sstence for which Old Oxford, his birthplace,
is famous, was elected to Congress by one of
the Florida districts. For frauds in that cleo
ton his competitor just escaped the state
prison, where some OF his companions and aids
now languish. The Returning Board declared
Bisbee not elected. He went to the Supreme
Court. That court decided in his favor and
the board corrected their canvas and proclaim
ed him elected. The Governor asked the
opinion of the Attorney General, and Demo-
GRAFT as he was, the case was so clear that he
promptly replied that Bisbee must have the
certificate. Nevertheless the Governor refused,
and although the long session and extra ses-

Crashing into IN Iceberg.

The British war ship Flamingo had a
narrow escape n Gently, while cruising
off the coast of Newfoundland, from
being crushed to pieces By an enormous
iceberg. The presence of iceborgs on
tic ooaot wns known 10 the captain and
officers of the Flamingo, and a very
sharp and careful outlook was kept up.
Two men..were posted on the jib-boom
end at the time, and it was one OF these
that first decried the hugh mountain of
ice ahead, and sounded the word of
warning. The officer in command i'm
mediately telegraphed to the engine
room to have the engines reversed at full
speed. In a moment the propeller was
ut work pulling the war ship back out of
the grasp of what nearly proved fatal
foe. The two men al the lookout on the
jib-boom end had barely time TO scam
per in over the boom and boWsprit,
when crash went these two spars,
driven in ON the deck with terrific force,
smashing and unlocking all the fasten-
ings and couplings on deck.
When the steamer forged off from the
huge berg the Ice lowered 100 feet above
her mastheads, with terrible menaoing
projections threatening in their fall TO
sink the little war vessel deep down in
the Atlantic. At a later seasonrof the
year such a collision would probably
have been attended with complete de-
struction to the steamer and all on
board, but the ice5ergs now sailing
along the coast of Newfoundland are
hard and cohesive and not liable, as In
autumn months, to SILVER into pieces by
the least jar or impact, or even by the
ordinary defamation of gun.
Had the iceberg broken up as the bows
of the Flamingo crashed upon 1t there
could be no survivor to unfold the
dreadful tale. The berg was at least a
half mile in length, and averaged about
$50 feet above the surface OF the water,
or more than 100 feet above the mast
tops Of the ship. 1t was fortunate, too,
that there was no sea on, as In such a
case the berg might have rolled over on
the steamer when close to 1t and
crushed 1t into slaves. After parting
company with the iceberg the Flamingo
was got round and headed for st. Johns,
whore she arrived abont an hour and q
half after the accident.

Another Historical Idol Broken.

Another Historical Idol Broken.
London Globe.l
Mr.. Emil Gossweller, the Arabic
scholar, of Basic, has been breaking
in pieces another idols of children.
In his university lectures upon Ara
bian language and literature he found
himselfface to face with a certain
Haroun Arraschid, of the Arabian
Nights" The learned doc
tor says that the polished,
sagacious and kindly potentate of the
Thousand-and- One Nights was by no
means so pleasant, wise and amiable
a character in actual history as he is
taken to be by all the boys aud girls
of Chrislendom and Islam, who know
him only from his panegyrical portrait
IN that charming and inexhaustible
book. The great caliph was neither
such a lover OF righteousness nor so
beloved by his people as we used to
fancy. He possessed to the full
characteristic faults of those Oriental
despots whose humor is their only
law. His far-famed generosity was
but the reversed side, like Robin
Hoods of a boundless system Of spoil.
alton and robbery. The very slightest
p%retense Of an insult or an act of neg
llgence on the part Of any of his rich
subjects was made by Haroun al
Raschid an excuse for wholesale
con6scation of the wealthy offenders
property. No Roman or Byzantine
Caesar was ever more relentless in the
execution fhis arbitrary DEGREES. It's
easy enough, however, DR.. Grosswel-
Ter, contends to discover the reason
why his fame and his virtues are
painted in such glowing colors by the
writer's Of legends. Firstly, he was
the last caliph who held the empire
together through genuine mental pow
err, and who possessed the true genius
Of q born ruler. Under the caliphs
who followed him everything got out
joint. Secondly, he fully understood
the Importance of standing we'll with
the poets and scholars, for whom
he always had a pleasant manner and
open purse. Even in the ARABIAN
Nights" however, in spite Of their
p~anegyrical tendency, we have a
glimpse Of some features of his char
acter which correspond with the un-
flattering testimony of history. 1t is
noticeable with what ready pliability
the crown lawyers and casuistical
sophists of the court explain or ex-
plain away the law in favor of the in
clinations of the despot.

This paper, preferring to await judi
cial inquiry, has heretofore said moth
ing about the charges brought against
Mr.. G. w. Naill by w. A. West, the
husband of a colored domestic in the
employ of the former.
The testimony of DISTINGUISHED par
ties at the trial Of West, on a warrant
for assault with intent to kill, held
before Esquire Quigley, fully exhon-
grated Mr.. Nail from all suspicion
of guilt in the premises, and was a
perfect vindication of that gentleman's
fair name.
The circumstances which aroused
the suspicion Of West, who seems,
from the proof, to be of a very suspi-
cious and jealous nature, were of such
a character as might, with equal pro-
priety, be brought against any head
of a family, who calls his domestic
in the house after that to perform any
of her duties.
Insignificant as these circumstance
were, they were fully rebutted by the
proof.

A BAD WE'LL.
A Gentleman Who Thought He
Had an Abundant Supply
Of Sulphur Water.


Little Rock Gazette.l
A gentleman of this city who does
business on Fourth street, not far from
the corner of Main, has recently had a
little experience with sulphur water
that is not likely to prejudice him in
favor Of the "odd taste and the odd
smell"
II believe our vein of water has
turned to sulphur he said, taking
a drink fresh from the we'll. For
several days have detected this,
and l wouldn't be surprised if we
have a well that viii attract con-
siderable attention" Next morn
ing he remarked, Water is getting
stronger; tastes of chalybeate, now.
Fine we'll The water kept getting
stronger. You could smell it ten feet
away. Finally the man was taken
sick, and by this time the water was
strong enough to float an iron wedge.
When a physician visited the sick
man, the idea of cleaning out the well
was suggested. The water was pumped
out. A eolored man went down, and
returned with a large yellow cat and a
couple of old shoes. The gentleman
has recovered, and the water doesn't
taste nearly so much like sulphur as
it did. Moral-All water that tastes
bad is not chalybeate,
