ROUGH on HENDRICKS.
General Buffers 0pinion Of that Pestiferoua
Demagogue.

In 1872 General Butler, being about
to make some speeches in the West,
Governor Hendricks, in apublic speech
at North Vernon, Ind, said; General
Butler is coming over here, and you
must look out for your spoons" Gen.
Butler did 60 over there, and a short
time after he made speech at the
same place, in which he said:
"There are two kinds of lies in this
world. There is the bold, manly, out
and-out lie, that somehow makes us
respect the man that utters it, because
he has courage; the other one the
mean, covert, insinuated lie, uttered by
man that dares not say it and yet
wants to. 1t is that kind of lie that
was told at North Vernon. Every
creature of earth judges according to
the standard which he has, which has
his own capacity, his own sense of pro-
priety, or his prowess. The fly that
lights on the dome of st. Paul's Ca
thedral looks round him to the distance
of eight feet, the extent of his vision,
and thinks it's fair, slightly piece of
work. The pig that eats out of the
trough thinks it a very excellent piece
OF architecture; that IS the beet he can
do with hisinstincts. and that is as much
as he can understand. HEDGES not un-
derstand the mansion at the back of
whose barn his trough is at all. Every
man, therefore, judges every other man
by himself, and whoever believes that
/, a Major-G General of the United
States, with life and death at my fin
gers ends, exercising that unlimited
and despotic power given me by the
War, went around picking up spoons,
knows he would have done SO Had he
been in my place. Tremendous cheer
ing.] That is his conception of the
office of Major-General. That is his
idea what a man should do, and what
he would dc il he had the courage to
go where be could dc it, as I haye. For
the first time in my life sayeI alluded
to it, except last night at North Yer
non. hung the man that tore down
the American flag on the spot where he
desecrated the emblem Of his country's
power [applause], and last night pill
i0riei the blackguard who, struck at
my character on the spot where he
committed the crimeR dApplause.1

The Kind of War Democrat He Was,

land and Hendricks pill by asserting
that although Hendricks was the mean

the War, Cleveland was war Demo

Cleveland was a Democrat of the strict

War Is threatened between France and
China; an influential party in China are
instigating IL. Prominent officials, such A.
Tso Tsung, Tang Peng, Yu Lin, and Mar
quls TseDg, are resolved TO repudiate the
recent Franco-Chinese negotiations. The

demand that the Island OF Formosa be
pledged to secure its payment.
PARIS, July 3.-At the Cabinet Council
to-day Prime Minister Ferry stated that the
Chinese Foreign Roard did not disayow the
action OF the Chinese regular troops at
Lang Sou. The Board admitted that the
Chinese army had obeyed Its orders 10 re-
tain possession OF that city, though this was
contrary to the second article OF the re-
cent Franco-Cbineset treaty, which provided
for the immediate withdrawal OF the Chi
nese garrisons. China, however, contend
ed that the evacuation OF frontier towns
was conditional upon the signature OF q
defnitive treaty between France and China.
China also refused to recognize the stipula-
ton agreed upon between Ii Hung Chang
and Captain Fourier for the evacuation OF
Lang Sou, Cas- Bang, and Lao hay between
June 9th and June 18th.

China, who has been absent from his post

France. In the event OF China's refusing
redress for the action OF her troops at Lang
Sou, France will immediately declare war.
Active preparations are being made for
ieinforcements to leave France for the east.
