The following taken from a special
dispatch from Washington will be of
interest To- many of our old residents:
Congressman Belknap to-day report
ed from the committee on military
affairs bill to restore to the army
Lieutenant William I. Hugo, at one
time very prominent man i'm Michi-
gan Early in 1861 Lieutenant Hugo
raised Il company at Paw Paw by
authority of the governor of the state,
and Immediately went on duty with
them ut Staten Island, New York. The
company was there merged into the
Seventh New York infantry, General
Sickles' regiment, and served through
out the war, having participated in
forty battles. Lieutenant Hugo had
twenty years active service, four years
in the rebellion and sixteen years fight
ing Indians on the frontier, and was
colonel in command of q brigade during
the civil war. Having been badly
wounded, once in the head, several
times in the body, and once in the
hips, whereby he became permanently
lame, he, in common with many other
veterans, became addicted to the use
of morphine to deaden the pain, and
also the use of liquor for similar rea-
son. Some years ago he was court
martialed for the excessive use of in
toxicating liquors, and was recommend
ed for reprimand, but the authorities i'm
Washington ordered his discharge from
the army. Inasmuch as that was the
only Offense with which he was ever
charged during twenty years public
service the committee believe that he
should be restored TO the army and
placed on the retired list"

The Delphic Oracle Speaks.

LILO DOlPiiiO SioSiO OPOoho'
The various assertions of Governor
Senator Hill during the progress of his
popularity seeking tour of the South,
afford food for much amusing contem.
plation from Republican stand point,
and perhaps none of his speeches is
more absurd than the one delivered at
Birmingham, Alabama.
In view of his high-handed proceed
ings during the past six months, his in
PRODUCTION to the Birmingham people
as partisan Democrat who believes
in what the mug wumps and independ-
ents term machine politics" was par
ticularly appropriate, though Col. Hew-
lit, president of the Birmingham Hill
Club, was not Intentionally guilty of
sarcasm in these words. Thus properly
placed before the audience, the would
be Autocrat of the Democracy assured
his hearers that 1t is not essential who
the candidates of the Democratic party
be. The great point is to achieve
victory for Democratic principles in
November next. | pledge you the State
of New York's electoral vote for the
Democratic candidates" which, trans
lated means, "You need not suppose
Cleveland at all necessary to Demo
cratic success, for /, the author of the
snap convention and dictator of New
York, assure you that the Empire State
is entirely under my thumb"
Continuing in the same strain, he
said that Connecticut was kept under
Republican control by system of rep
resentation unworthy place in free
country, and that this New England State
is just as much in need of home rule as is
Ireland to-day. Adding ostentatiously,
that the same was true of New York
until the recent Democratic victory,
which assertion compels one to wonder
parenthetically where the "home-rule"
in New York comes in to-day.
Inspired by the glorious sound of
Democratic victory" the large audi
ence of Hillites cheered at this point
and the oracle continued impressively:
81 give it to you for what it is worth
You have seen the last of the Republi-
can legislatures in the Empire State.
With such vaporings as these, inter-
spersed with much talk of the necessity
for repeating the laws passed by the
late Republican Congress- and much
taffy as to the non-interference of the
general government with the domestic
affairs of the state, the great Tamnlany
boss beguiled his hearers, who pre-
scented him, at the conclusion of his
speech, with mammoth souvenir
spoon, which we would humbly suggest
might prove fit type of the ''spooneys"
who can smilingly swallow such ex-
tremely thin soup as David b. has been
dishing up to his Southern admirers.
The silver question, the race prob
lem, and all vital questions of the hour
were Systematically ignored, while the
days of Jefferson and Monroe were ran
sacked for verbose gloriication of
Democratic principles, showing all too
plainly that the one and only object of
his journey was to popularize himself
in the eyes of the ubiquitous Southern |
Ucolonel
