Little heed is paid to the threats of the con-

Senator Vests Successful Bout with
Hale Of Maine.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 6.-Senator Vest
went to the front again to-day as the
defender of the administration, and
the little senator from Maine got
such a dressing down as will make
him remember that it is a bad thing
to stir up his Missouri associate
Senator Hale is strongly inclined to
the ways of that honorable Pecksniff
from Massachusetts, Senator Hoar.
He delights in rolling up his eyes and
looking sanctimonious disgust at the
mote in Democratic eyes, while COM
placently blind to the beam that dec
crates his own political optic. His
affectation is more than disagreeble
at times, and the endeavor to belabor
| the administration over the shoulders
of the no Brown, who has not had
any credit at the prsta' department
for months, gave Vest just the OF
portunity he wanted, and it was used
to good advantage. Republican SEN
ators shivered little when reminded
of the peculiar Endorsement the Mis-
souri, senators had found on official
documents at the departments. Frhis
man is indorsed by Vest and Cock.
rell'' Was the interesting and signii
Icant sign of Republican intolerance
that frequently met their eyes in the
days when the grand old party ruled
the roost. Nobody knew better thar
Hale that the things he was finding
fault with, even if true, were as no
thing beside the enormities of Re
publican rule. What greater can
could there be than his pretentiou
mawkishness over the appointment
of few Democratic postdoasters II
Maine? When Vest told him that i
was nothing but cant, his cuticl
was not thick enough to keep hir
from feeling the sting.

hard to bring up something against

he had opponents in old Pike. We
can't imagine who wrote it. There's
only one man in Pike county opposed
to Cockrell, and that is Gray Of the

Stock Men, Read.


DENIsoN, TEXAS, Jan. I'd, 1856
Perhaps some of your readers, es-
pecially stock men, would appreciate
some knowledge of the manner in
which cattle are managed on the
ranges in the Indian Territory. This
knowledge have gained from an
Indian COW boy, "a full blood Choc-
taw). The rounding up season be-
gins early in the spring. To explain,
the cattle in the winter season
are driven hundreds of miles from
their summer grazing by the winds
of the winter, when a norther, i. e.,
cold fierce wind from the north
comes up, and especially when ac-
companied by rain storm, the cat
tie stampede and run in every direc-
ton. The brave COW hoy remains
in his saddle and well trained
Broncho will head the herd on the
darkest of nights, and wheel right
about until the frantic cattle again
have passed him, and the rider can
only see by the flash of the lightning
hundreds and thousands of long horns
of the prairie cattle coming directly
towards him, but they never attack 6
pony. This may continue until they
have passed over two hundred mile:
from their former range. and the only
thing to be done Is to follow then
until the return of spring, and, O
course, during such stampedes, many
cattle, especially calves, are lost

Judge Buckner on Senator Beck.

special Dispatch TO the Globe-Democrat.
WASHINGTON, ID. O., January g.
Ex- congressman Buckner, of Mis-.
souri,, writes to a friend here SONG
! comments upon Senator Beck's
speech. Judge Buckner was Chair.
man of the Committee on Banking
and Currency in the last Congress
His opinions on financial matters were
at variance with the majority of the
Western Democrats, but his ability
was recognized. He says that Reck's
position is vitality weak, and, in his
opinion, the Senator lodges the
strong point in the Administration
argument. Judge Buckner writes :
II allude to the fact prominently
stated in the Presidents message
that four of the States of the Latin
union, including France and Italy,
have agreed that all the deprecated
silver coins, full legal tender as ours,
of their respective kingdoms, shall
hereafter be redeemed by the Gov
ernment banks respectively in good
coin. The representative of the
silver miners, in his trade against the
Administration, could not have failed
to note this part of the President &
argument against continued coinage,
for he takes occasion to state a fact
as to the relative amounts Of silver
and gold in the Bank of France to
sustain his argument for continuing
the business Of buying silver at 76
cents and putting it off on the people
at 100 cents. l pray you to consider
the significance of this action oi
these Governments, remembering al
the same time that since the demon
etization OF silver by Germany the
mints of these States have been clos
ed against silver, and that the large
sums of livres and francs circulating
in these States have been deprecated
by no act of theirs, and that neither
free nor restricted coinage of silver
has been practiced or permitted by
any of these Latin union Govern
ments. Does it not prove .conclu
sively that, in the opinion of the
statesmen and economists of France
Italy and Switzerland, there is grea
danger that these two metals vii
part company, break the solidarit,
of their circulation and destroy tn,
equivalency of the gold and silver
thus producing a condition of thing
there similar to what existed in Eng
land during the reign of William ant
Mary, when silver had become depre
ciated by the use of the scissors an,
the file. Shall this lessen be los
upon us for no other reason than t,
protect the interests of silver miner
and bullion ownersY'
