A FAMOUS ANTI-SLAVERY MAN,
The Man Who Won the Title of the Grea,
Impeacher and His Career.

Impeacher and His Career.
New York Press.l
Ex-Congressman James M. Ashley, of
Ohio, who is President of Michigan rail-
road, is tremendously large man, with the
head of statesman and the face of born
orator. In his prime he was considered one
of the most powerful orators in public life.
He entered Congress in 1858 at "a years of
age, and remained there through the event.
full war period, we'll through the sixties.
He was at the head of the Committee of
Impeachment appointed by the House to
prosecute President Andrew johnson, and
won there the nickname of 1.-THE Great Im-
peacher."
I heard him tell in public gathering re-
Gently how his mind became impressed as O
boy with the anti-slavery feeling, which be-
came the guiding star OF his political career.
He was about 9 years of age when he heard
a song, which represented the plaintive ap-
peal o. an escaped slave, in which there was
this appeal of the black man to his captors:
He showed the stripes his master gave
The branded scars the sghtless eve
The common badges of a slave
And SAID he would be free or die.
Up to that time he had not known that
the slavemaster had the right to whip, brand
and main his slaves. The one stanza had
such an effect on his mind that it shaped all
his subsequent action, and made him fore
most among the anti-slayery men of his day.

quite sure of his election at first, but after a
while he became convinced that he had been
chosen by the suffrages of the people, and
so he started for Albany by diligence, with
a speckled COW attached to the rear of the
conveyance. When he got pretty near to
Albany he was told that mistake had been
made in thereturns, by which the other mans
election was only too clear. He probed
the matter and found that the information
came from an authentic source; so, after
batting his team, he gave his trusty COW
dose of Mo1ie and started out for home
again, sad, yet bowling to the will of the
people. For some days he journeyed on
over rough roads and through desolate
stretches of country, sometimes finding such
rough going that his frail drosky seemed
ready to overturn and plunge down bot,

She was halted on the road by Deputy
Stcbbins, who accompanied mother and
child To this city and escorted both of
them back TO Deer Lodge later in the day.
Mrs. Wolfe was informed that she was
under arrest u she supposed that she
was under compulsion To return to the
county seat where she was induced
to part temporarily with her little
daughter. Ii Is said that Officer
Stcbbins had no legal papers whatever
and no authority Ia make the arrest, and
unfair and unlawful advantage was taken
in her case. Had the lady realized the
circumstances Ii never would have con-
scented to return To Deer Lodge. Her
friends are very much offended over the
affair and insist that she was betrayed
into an unfair arrangement In the matter.

men. They carried their provisions. rs
they did not want IA pack horse. The
posse rode 30 miles the first day and got
ahead of the thieves. Then they had to
come back about ten miles in order TO
catch the trail. From that time they fol-
lowed until they overlook the gang. The
thieves were evidently u~nacquainted with
the country, as they made several bad
breaks by following trails that led TO riv-
ers that are impossible nj this time Of
year When the posse caught them the
thieves showed an inclination To fight,
but saw IL was OF no use and gave up. BY
this time provisions were nearly gone,
there being only W cans Of beef and

best horses OF Bandmann's had its neck
broken Mt the time Of the capture. An
other horse was 80 worn out that Mr..
Lang left II behind, as il retarded them

thieves had traded two horses Off. sold
one, and had five left, SO they must have
stolen seven after leaving Bandmann's
ranch. Sheriff Houston went out to one
of the stations west Of here and came in
with the men this morning soon after

prisoners made sonnet trouble, although he
