10 Dlblohe OF tne suTpius DIRECT LhAs


10 the Editor of the National Republican;


SIR: As your news columns notice in the
paper of to-day an effort of South Carolina to
recover some OF the direct taxes paid into the
Treasury Of the United States, would it not be
proper for some of the colored people of TINT
and other States, who desire to emigrate to
Liberia, to also mako their claims for their
share of said taxes, as provided In section l2
of "An act for the collection of direct taxes in
insurectionary districts within the United
States, and loriother purposes (which directs


That the proceeds OF said leases and sales shall
be paid into the Treasury of the United States one
fourth of which shall be paid over to the Governor
Of the State wherein said lands are situated or his
authorized agent when such insurrection shall be
put down and the people shall elect a Legislature
and State officers, who shall take an oatn 10 sup

PELToN with the money he asked for at
that famous Baltimore conference, would
there have been any change in the result of
the election of 1876? 1t does not appear
that there would have been, for no one has
yet proved in a satisfactory manner that
any of the Southern returning boards were
really for sale. In short, all that the cipher
inquiry has disclosed is the disreputable
fact that the Tildenites were ready and
anxious to corrupt somebody, but couldn't
find anybody amenable to their corrupt

Between GRANT and BAYARD, always
" for BAYARD," says Secretary ScHURz's
paper, the Westliche Post, of st. Louis, and
it might have added in the light of history,
anything to beat the Republican party
when it does not submit TO its dictum. In
connection with this declaration there is a
scrap of history which affords food for re-
Election. In 1872 the JVestliche Post sup
ported GREELEY, and GRANT was elected
General scHURz had labored zealously to
secure GREELEYs election, and suffered
much modification ut his defeat He was
entitled to recognition from the Democratic
party for his distinguished services in that
campaign, but never recognition did he
get. A Senator was soon to be elected in
Missouri, and General SCHURz was at lib
erty so that he could accept the place.
1t would have been q graceful thing
for the Democratic party to have
rewarded General SCHURZ with that
position, but that party never consults the
graces in politics. He was dropped from
memory and favor at once, and found no re-
ward in that direction for having deserted
the Republican, cause, and made his tenn
porary bed with the enemies of the country.
General sCHURz having lost his grip in that
quarter, drifted back into Republican
waters, and found an early and favorable
landing. We do not refer to this circum-
stance rs a matter of prejudice against Sec
retary ScHURz, but to show the ingrati-
tude of the Democratic party toward those
who serve them in an extremity. BAYARn
may he more grateful at heart, but after the
next Presidential election his means will be
very limited in the way of rewards.

THE Democrats in Congress are so eager
to revel in the power of complete control of
the legislative branch of the Government
that they cannot wait for the ordinary
course of events in which they would nat
urally and properly be able to remodel the
national election laws. There is no reason
why those laws should be changed before
the next regular session of Congress-De-
cember-for no partisan results can be in
huenced thereby. But this fact makes no
difference with the impatient hordes of
Democratic Office seekers in the country.
They and their tools in either House have
consequently decided to force upon the
country the expense and attendant disar-
rangement and uncertainties in business ai-
fairs of an extra session.

compare to his letter Southern claims, as being
exclusively for Northern eifcation.

The Trinity (Cal.) journal relates that
a party of four men recently went on a
bear hunt. Approaching forest the dogs
got scent of Il bear, and were sent into the
forest to drive him out. DR.. Stanley, one
of the party. became impatient, however,
and entered the thicket himself The
heavy underground made progress slow,
but he fought his way ahead until he came
to fallen tree lying in a little gulch.
Helping himself along by the limbs he
arrived at the upper end just in time to be
confronted by huge grizzly bear. Re-
treat was impossible, as it had been with
the utmost difficulty that the doctor had
advanced so far; there was no tree in
convenient distance, and as the grizzly
showed fight, there was nothing left for
him to do but shoot. Taking deliberate
aim with his Henry rifle, the doctor fired.
and the bear fell mortally wounded.
Another load was sprung from the maya
zine into the rifle, and the doctor, looking
toward his prey, was surprised to see a
second bear in the same spot. This he
shot also, and quickly reloading, was yet
more astonished to see third bear in the
same place where he had shot the other
two. Again the lever moved and fresh
charge went into position, and again the
doctor looked up and discovered a fourth
grizzly coming toward him from the same
opening in the brush. Whang went the
gun again, and down went bear No. 4.
TO make sure of his game, the doctor
poured sixteen shots into their carcasses


His companions, hearing the firing, came
TO his assistance. and found him on top of
the largest bear swinging his hat and
shouting Justify. One of the bears was
an immense grizzly, large that the hunt
ers could not handle him, and the other
three were good-sized grizzlies, probably
about two years old. The shooting of
four bears by one man, without ever
changing his position, is something ghither-
to unheard of even in the most highly col
orcd annals of the western wilds.

Col, Ingersoll's Tribute to His Deceased


Brother.


The following is the Grafton of Col.
R obert G Ingersoll delivered over the re-
mains of his dec eased brother, Hon. Eber
G. Ingersoll, at the obsequies in Washing
ton Monday: my friends, am going to
do that which the dead oft promised he
would do for me. The loved and loving
brother, father, friend, died where man
hoods morning almost touches noon and
while the shadows were still falling toward
the west. He had not passed on life's high
way the stone that marks the highest point,
but being weary for a moment he laid
down by the wayside, and using his burden
for. a pillow, fell into that dreamless sleep
that kisses down his eyelids still. While
yet in love with life and enraptured with
the world, he passed to silence and pathetic
dust. Yet, after all, it may be best. Just
in the hsppiest, sunniest hour of all the
voyage, while eager winds are kissing every
sail, to dash against the unseen rock and in
an instant hear the pillows roar, sunken
ship, for whether in mid sea, or among the
breakers of the farther shore, wreck must
mark at last the end of each and all, and
every life, no matter if its every hour is rich
with love and every moment jewelled with
Joy, will at its close become a tragedy SO
sad and deep and dark as can be woven of
the warp and woof of mystery and death.


This brave and tender man in every storm
of life was oak and rock, but in the sun
shine he was vine and flowers. He was the
friend of all heroic souls. He climbed the
heights and left all superstitions far below,
while on his forehead fell the golden dawn
ing of grander day. He loved the beauti-
full, and was with color, form and music
touched to tears. He sided with the weak
and with willing hand gave aims. With a
loyal heart and with the purest hand, he
faithfully discharged all public trusts. He
was worshiper of liberty, friend of the
oppressed. A thousand times have heard
him quote the words, "For justice, all place a
temple and all season summer" He be-
lieved that happiness was the only good,
reason the only torch; Justice the only wor-
shipper, humanity the only religion, and
love tho priest. He added the sum of hu-
man joy, and were every one for whom he
did some loving service to bring blossom
to the grave, he would sleep tonight beneath
wilderness of flowers.


Life is narrow vale between the cold and
barren peaks Of two eternities. We strive in
vain to look beyond the heights. We cry
aloud and the only answer is tho echo of our
wailing cry. From the voiceless lips OF the
unreplying dead there comes no word, but
In the night of death, hope sees star, and
listening love can hear the rustic of wing
He who sleeps here, when dying, nljstakine
the approach of death for the return OF
health, whispered with his latest breath, 81
am better now" Let US believe, in spite Of
doubts and dogmas, and tears and fears, that
these dear words are true of all the countless
dead. And now to you, who have beer
chosen from among the many men he loved
to do the last sad Office for the dead, we give
his sacred dust. Speech cannot contain oul
love. There was, there is, no gentler
stronger, manlier man.
