POOR TIRED MOTHER.

They were talking of the glory of the land be-
yond the skies,
OF the light and OF the gladness TO be found in
Paradise,
Of the flowers ever blooming of then ever-ceasing
songs,
OF the wandering through the golden streets of
happy white-robed throngs;
And said father, leaning cozsily back in his easy
chair
Father always was a master-hand for comfort
everywhere):
''What joyful thing 'twould be to know that
when this life is DER
One would straightway hear welcome from the
blessed shining shore!''
And Isabel, our eldest girl, glanced upward from
the reed
She was painting on water jug, and murmured,
"Yes, indeed!"
And Marion, the next in age, moment dropped
her book,
And ''Yes, iudeed!'' repeated with most &C.
static look.
But mother, gray-haired mother, who had come
to sweep the room,
With patient smile on her thin face, leaned
lightly on her broom
Poor mother, no one ever thought how much she
had to do
And said, 81 hope it is not wrong not to agree
with you,
But seems to me that when die, before join
the blest,
I'd like just for little while to lie in my grave
and rest"

relations to the parties, could have known
of the sending of the $50, 900 bonds by Mr..
Caldwell to Mr.. Blaine. 0fcouse il acas pos
Sible; he knew all about it. He received and
read all the correspondence and kept the ac-
counts for Mr.. Fisher of the Little Rock 81
Fort Smith bonds [see page 90 in Mulligan's
testimony, Endorsed by that of Curry and
others, ought 10 be conclusive that Mr.. Blaine
received the $50, 900 bonds. Why does Mr..
Blaine prevaricate so much about this letter
and these items. Because, il we take Mr..
Muligan's testimony, Mr.. Blaine received
1855, 600 of bonds from him Fisherl and
$50, 900 from Caldwell" This would make
$4,000 of the Land Grant Bonds.
of the Little Rock IL Fort Smith railroad,
which was the essence and subject matter of
the whole investigation, that had passed into
Mr.. Blaiues hands. And this was also the
eract amount of bonds that the Union Rail-
road Company bought of Thomas A. Scott.
The congressional committee, when trying
to prove the delivery of the $50, 900 land
grant bonds to Blaine by the witness Robin
son, could not know the connection or i'm
portancc OF this testimony as it was given on
the 24th and 26th of MAY, and the letters adj
hitting the receipt of $50, 900 in land grant
bonds were not read in the House until 10
days thereafter, on the 18th of June follow
ing. ALI through the investigation Mr.. Blaine
underworld TO show that it was an utter i'm
possibility for him to have had that number
of land grant bonds. His letter Oct. 4, 1871,
refers to 800, 600 due me from Mr.. CALDWELL
Let Us ask him in all seriousness, and LET
hin. ponder well before he makes answer, ii
the words ''aIse mes were not interpoIated in
that letter, and whether the memoranda at
No. was not altered, and a portion stricken
out, either by himself or his secretary, before
the copy was sent 10 the government print
ing Office. There was an evident neglect to
FIX the next letter read of April IS, 1872,
as that admits receiving $50, 900 bonds. Ev-
cry candid reader can now see the very. good
reason why Mr.. Blaine did not allow the let
tiers TO be read by the clerk of the House, or
to ne seen by any eyes except those of him
self and his secretary. If there was nothing
damaging to Mr.. Blaine in these letters, why
did he keep them so close! Why did he not
send them to the clerks desk to be read, as
is the custom, and thus really convince the
country that he was submitting to the House
every scrap and scrimption,n as he as
serted ne was doing. There was Mr.. Garfield
seated near him, and in his immediate vicin-
ity were Mr.. Conger of Michigan. Mr.. Seelye
and Gen. Banks of Massachusetts,, and 9TH
ers of his personal and political friends
Why did he not take them into his conf
dence and let them see that ne read all the
documents, and thus avoid the suspicion
that has dwelt in the public mind ever since,
and was never so intense as at the present
time2

We may have peculiar ideas as to the duty
which newspapers owe the public, but we
claim that the mistakes which we may make
in that regard, are mistakes of the head
rather than of the heart. When we learned
OF Judge Bristol's resignation, we decided at
once to drop all further criticism of his of
fetal conduct; and our remarks in last issue
were made reluctantly, and only because we
felt that thus much had been forced upon US
and was due ourself as well as a long suffer
ing public. Our first unfavorable comment
upon the judges official course was drawn
forth several months ago, upon what we then
held to be unwarranted assumption of au-
thority in the Bradley contempt case AS
we stated at the time, We were not attempt
ing to defend or shield Mr.. Bradley, but we
held and we still hold, tina. Judge Bristol
made out no case of even constructive con-
tempt as against the man, and his imprison-
ment was without the warrant of law. 1t is
not for Judge to pass upon certain course
of conduct and declare it contempt The
law defines what shall constitute contempt,
and the judge can only pass upon the gravity
OF the Offense an l fix the nature of the pun
ishment within the limits Of that law. Had
the subject of the judges action in this in
stance been man toward whom our people
felt kindly, popular indignation at this act
OF official tyranny would have known no
bounds. Just how our people came to re-
gard the matter, upon sober second thought
is shown by the action of the grand jury
Bristol had held Bradley in $50, 600 bonds to
await the action of this body, which, after
the most thorough investigation found moth
ing to warrant an indictment, and this was
the second grand jury which thus passed up
on the matter. There is scarcely an attor-
ney practicing at this bar, but openly rejoices
at this Judges retirement

There is little Shoshone pappoose here,

than pickle jar, who evinces wonderful
aptitude for moulding images out of mud
and clay. His mother was engaged at a
wash-tub outside of house the other day,
and from the mud caused by the sloppings
the little savage moulded deer and horse
which were almost perfect in contour and

4 Nan Who betrayed Andre.o johnson.

nashville American.
Buck Lewis died last night after & brief
illness. Lewis was at one time the BODY
servant of Andrew Johnson when that dis
tinguished Tennessean was President Of the
United States, and created quite sensation
in Washington about that time by revealing
some Of the great commoner's private affairs
to the presidents enemies. This was done
while the great impeachment trial was goin ~
on, and when 1t was told became the ruling
sensation of the hour, a1d was a common
theme for speculation during NANNY months
following. President johnson discharged
Lewis at that time, and he came back to this
city, where he has remained since. Lewis
has since frequently suffered great want, and
he told friend of his that President John
sons words when he discharged him had
often come to his mind during his misfor-
tunes. The words referred to by Lewis are
these: Take this 500 bill and 20 where
you will. TRUSTED you, and you BETRAYED
my confidence for less than 1 Fave often Civ
en- you without asking. All that lean saw to
you is that you will never suffer as much as

an Evident Discrenancv.

An Evident Discrepancy.
between the letter quoted from above as to
the number of land bonds delivered to Mr.
Blaine and the sworn evidence of Mr.. Multi
gan referring to it, Mr.. Mulligan claims
that Mr.. Blaine had received $50. 600 of
bonds. Nj. Blaine really admits this in the
letter succeeding, dated April -, 1879 Tpage
3601l. He says: "There is still due to me
on articles OF agreement between US so, 600
in land bonds AS he was entitled to S125,-
600. this would prove that he had received
$50, 600 exactly as Mr.. Mulligan testified In
view of this testimony, both letters cannot
be right, and it is Il pertinent inquiry to ask
Mr.. Blaine if the letter Of Oct. 1, 1871
above quoted from, aods not altered 6y reducing
The san. Of S55, 600 to $50, 900! Now, what
could have been the inducement of Mr.
Blaine to make this change? Suppose he had
admitted receiving S55, 600, as he does in his
letter of April -, 1872, what harm could
have come Of 1t! The letter says ''Mr Cald-
well has repeatedly assured me that [ should
be paid all the bonds due me under con-
tracts with you, and outside of that $50. 600
cue me from him. And here comes an
other important link in this interesting story

Mr.. Blaine Acknowledges that he received
this package from Robinson. But he denies
that it contained bonds. He insisted that
the package consisted Of maps, pamphlets
and some personal sketches.n The evidence
given at the investigation proves absolutely
that this package contained the bonds.
Mr.. Amos P. Curry of Little Rock, Ark,
testified that Robinson told him Tsee page

The Gist of the Whole Matter.
Here is Mr.. Mulligan under oath saying he
had surrendered eiyhtesa or nineteen letters.
and it can now be seen where Mr. Blaine OBJ
tanned the letters dated July 3 April 90 and
April -, 1872. The additional three or four
letters to which Mr.. Mulligau refers in this
evidence were handed to him by Mr. Fisher
after the memoranda had been made out.
and a short time before he was called upon
to testify. Mr.. Mulligan had no time 10
amend the memoranda and add these letter.
to it.
Now, having read these, which make the
number to fifteen, why did not Mr. Blaine
read three or four more letters which Mr.
Mulligan says he surrendered, and thus make
up the whole eighteen or nineteen? Will Mr.
William Walter Phelps, or any other of Mr.
Blaine's defenders, now say in the face of
this testimony that ''the letters read in the
house correspond erdctly with the memoran-
dumsn
In his zeal to defend Mr.. Blaine from the
consequences of his misdeeds he has over
!. looked the main facts in the controversy or
wilfully ignored them. But the public can
not any longer be deceived by any amount
of special pleading so long as the records of
congress can be referred to in the proof of
prevarications and falsehoods. A news
paper says. LET US have ali the truths
about Blaine, but let Blaine have the benefit
of strict and impartial justice in the develop
ment of the case against him. This it is
Intended to do, and it is under the inspira-
ton of that phrase, impartial justice to Mr.
Blaine,' that this careful analysis of the Null
ligan letters has been made in connection
with contem poraneouS events.
SuppressOr OF Testimony and FaIsifer
When Mr.. Blaine read the so-caIled Multi
gan letters in the House of Representatives
June 5, 1876, he did not allow the originals
to pass from his possession, copies only, as
prepared by his secretary, being furnished to
the government printer for publication in
the congressional record. In order that those
who are not familiar with public affairs may
understand what the Congressional record is
it is proper to say that it is a daily journal of
the proceedings of congress, issued every
morning during the sessions, containing all
the sayings and doings of the previous day.

A NEW COMIC OPERA.
Dom Piatt Appears in the Role OF
LibrettiSt "A Political Plot.

New York, December %
"Keno" is the title of new comic
opera constructed by Dom Piatt, of
Mac-o-chee, and Mr.. Bruno o..
Klein, of this city, the former con-
tributing the libretto, and the latter
the music. The libretto is Ameri-
can in subject, and, as might be ex-
pected, abOunds in political hits.
Senator Plaster gets an apprOpria-
ton of 100000 for the OmahOgs,
friendly tribe of Indians that
he supposed to be extinct.
He then organizes party
of tourists, including his daughter
Lucy and her lover, Lieutenant
Stapleton, to go out on the plains,
not in search of the Omahogs, but
in search of vouchers, with which
Plaster expects to draw the $2,00O,-
900 from the Treasury. The Oma-
hogs, instead Of being extinct, are
on hand and in very good health
and spirits. They are lying in wait
for and surprise the tourists, Plaster
being one of the most thoroughly
surprised men of the whole party
Keno, the Indian chief, is about to
massacre the tourists, when he falls
in love with Lucy and stops the
carnage to permit of a little love
making. Senator Plaster hates to
lose his only child, but he is more
averse to losing his hair, and so he
persuades his daughter to accept the
noble man. Stapleton does not like
the prospect of losing Lucy, so he
slips into her tent, quickly comes
out gorgeously arrayed in female
attire, and by his winning
ways completely fascinates the
susceptible Keno. At this
point a Mormon comes on the scene
pursued by his eighty wives and
speedily converts Keno to Mormon
ism, whereupon the Indian chief
decides that he will marry Lucy
and her dispirited lover also. This
complexities matters uupleasantly,
but the old darkey cook, Ham, who
has been promoted to the position
of cook at Keno's headquarters,
saturates the supper with laud-
anum, which Supplies the Omahogs.
So that on the arrival of the Ameri-
can army, consisting of a brigadier
general, a colonel, a major, cap
tain, a corporal and one private,
there is no resistance. Plaster,
seeing that the curtain is about to
fall, makes treaty with Keno, by
which he is to get half the apprO>
priation for collecting it. Lucy and
Stapleton, of course, are united, and
the curtain is rung down.
