An Organ that Is Not an Organ Enthu
siasm over Gov. Hampton Chamber
lain Danger to the Republican Party
Blaine, of Maine, again etc., etc.
Washington, D. C, April 9, 187.
The bright and balmy effulK5nce of organ
ship no longer shines upon the National Re
publican. It is now a traveler, fuint sod es
tray. With the oat-going of Grant even ths
administratioa kitchen refuses to bare its in
tentions iodic ted in advance through (bat
paper. Perhaps the bad graiuirnr of his
1'rivate Secretary is all that the new Presi
dent wishes to be responsible for, and cer
tainly, la that respect, the Republican has ul
ways been a sore upon the body of our liter'
uture. From its early days nndor Peck, of
Maine, to the present time, do scholar bos
been con nested with it. Much is said now
of establishing a daily paper, but the sdver
tiding patronage is ao small that I doubt if
any man could afford to publish here a good
newspaper. Besides, he President has not
given any indication of a doiire for ao "or
gan." It is smuainj to note tbe efforts of
the Republican to forecast from day to day
the actions of the Administration In South
Carolina and Louisiana iffiirs. la the be
ginair-g of the Presidential campaign of 18G4
the New York Herald advocated Medal-
luo's election on Moudnys and Wednesdays
and Lincolu's oj Tuesdays and Thursdays j
later, for soma business reason or othHr.Mon
duvs and Wednesdays were, given to Lincoln,
and Tuesdays and Thursdays to McClellan.
But this is nothing to what the Republican
does for it Is on both sides every day.
Gov. Hampton intended to start for home
on Saturday, but has doubtless concluded
thut he can. bo of more service to his State
by reniaiuiiig North for awhile. If anything
can bring to the understanding of the Ad
ministration the intense and almost universal
desire to see justice done In the South, the
uncqualed enthusiasm of Hampton's recep
tion here will do it. Grant, fresh from Rich
mond at the close of tbe war, and in some
sense representing the victory of peace and
union, was the object of hardly mote general
attention, though bis was the highest milita
ry position ever given a citizen, nd lluinpton
is only a Governor of a small Htate. ut Dem
ocrats and Republicans seem to understand
that in Hampton's cause a principle is in
volved no ltss important to republican insti
tutions than that which was settled by the
preservation of the Union. Hence wherev
er be goes tho people flock around him, and
his presence is required all over the North.
His coming bus done more toward a settle
ment of our Southern difficulties than can
be accomplished by a hundred impertinens
Commissioners sent, to South Carolina or
Louisiana.
Chamberlain's proposition, submitted to
tbe President on Friday, would confirm
Hampton's title to the Governorship, but
might result no donbt was intended to re
sultin making Chamberlain Senator. Very
properly such a peddling of offices was de
dined by all the conservatives here from the
State. It is freely asserted to day that tbe
President will order the -troops out of the
State House at Columbia early this week,
and allow tbe courts or the State to settle all
questions that may arise. That being the ob
ject for which Courtsare organized and main
tained, and the President having righiiutiy
no more responsibility in the case than ony
citizen, it will be strange if he hesitates much
longer. But there is no longer any doubt of
a bitter and powerful opposition within tne
Republican party, or of its leadership. There
ii to come out of Muioe whenever the Pres
ident decide to go with his country Instead
of bis parly, a call to the faithful to come
together to reconstruct the Republican or
ganization, Without pretending to know all
the plans of tbe conspirators, I am enabled
to say positively that, if tbe President re
moves the troops from the South by May
1st, meeting' in tbe io the Interest of the re
organized Republican party will be called io
the North even before Congress meets Id
June. ' ' Nino.
Spotted Tall.
A correnpODdcDt ol the New York
Herald send a rather eoasipy com
munication to that paper from Camp
Robinson, Red Cloud Agency, lie
tells several anecdote, ol the Indians.
Speaking of the self imposed mission
of peace to Crazy Horse, he saye that
old Spot is tbe uncle of Crazy Horse,
and thai is given one reason for the
hope that he may induce his belliger
ent relative to come to term belore
the spring opens.
The romantic story connected with
Snotted Tsil'e devoted idhereoce to
the whites) hae been, he sayi, dwelt
upon considerably sioce he undertook
his mission of peace. The tale.which
is by no means new, runs thus : A
favorite dU2hter ol the old chief be
came enamored of an officer stationed
at Camp Sheridan, near the agency.
Her passion was not appreciated 'by
the pa'e face. Love unrequited was
her portion, but still she loved on,
though her passion was left to leed
ni,n iuelf. But it i nlr crew the
i j . u w,vv
r -
more, until sre sicneneu ani uieu vi
a broken heart. Before dying the In -
i i j j i . r
dinn maid called her lather to her
side, and, with last breath, besought
hitn to promiso her never to fight the
white mun again. Suoh a promise he
must have long have hestitatod about
making, for he felt all tho wrongs of
m people keenly, and all his glory
was in war. But at last ho promised
and faithfully- has ho kept his pledge.
Ho may he called crafty aud polite
lor, though an untutored savage he
h8 brains but he is never hostile.
He is dignified beyond nil comparison

his own peoplo with an iron hand.
spotted 1 ail is aaid to have killed
more of his own people than any other
chief now living, and lor this reason he
is feared by many of them and hated by
some, too. He has another daughtor
Shonkoo, which means tho red road,
who has recently been married to Mr.
Lone Elk, a dashitii! vouni buck.
There Is also a littlo bit of romance
about Shonkoo. Not long ago two
Sisters of Charity visited their ugen-
oy, and were presented to Spotlod
Tuil during their stay. He was well
pleased to meet thorn and had a talk
with them at Colonel Mills' house.
In the course ot the conversation they
asked him if he would like to give
them Shonkoo to live with them in
tho convent. He said yes, ho would
like it very much. They then sent
for Shonkoo and asked- her if sho
would like to co, but she remained si
lent, vouchsafing no answer to thoir
question. Her lather urged her to
speak, to say yes, but still she was si
lent, and tho interview thus turmi
nated. That night Shonkoo eloped
with Lono Elk. to whom' sho man
aged to convey tho intelligence that
icr father was going to Bond ucr
away. Mionkoo is considered quite
pretty Sho has good tasto in dress
tor an Indian woman, and understands
English but dislikes to speak it. She
is proud enough to bo a princess.
So m null has bcon said and written
during tho past year ot tho Indian
losses in battle and so littlo is known
of the actual loss, that il haa been con
sidered worth whilo to undertake an
investigation into this business. Tho
story uaually has gono that "there
were heavy Indian losses, but tue hos-
tileB had carried off their dead."
rank Grouud, the Bcout, is now
moving amor.g the Indians at Spotted
Tail and trying to ascertain from them
who havo hoard the exact truth from
the hostiles what the real amount of
tho losses were. At Rod Cloud, Lieu
tenant Clark has also set some men to
inquire into this matter, and in a lit
tle while something like, an accurate
idea of the Indian lossos may bo form,-

Since tho exploits of Sampson, from
Timnath to the pillars of the Temple,
and ot Hercules, Atlas and a hundred
other muscular mythological celebri

been paid nationally to the perfecting
ot the wonderful muscular powers.
The foil and dumb-bell, gymnasium
and boxing gloves, pastimes truly, so

thrust one sido by ''the burden ot
life." and as the resu't, a raoe of mon
(more extiemo in America than anv
other countrv) with rounded shoul
ders, languid stoop, a shuffling gait,
weary trown and hair that is prema
turely gray.
Fifty minutes with tho bumb-bolls

exercise for a man ol titty years, but it

Muscles are fibrous, contractable
tissues attached to the bone, that
strengthen and improve in action,and
at once degenerate, becoming clogged
with tat in disuse. In tho perfect,
healthv bodv there should be nothing
but muscle between the skin and the
bone.
Muscles in action become shorter
and thicker but do sot change in rel
ative bulk, and the rigor mortU is but

There are 527 distinct, and in a cer
tain sense, independent muscles in the
human Irarae, 83 being in the face, 49
in the neck, 78 in the thorax, 40 in

are intended for use, and all can be
madu homogeneously useful; though
treated as nioetv-nine out ot a nun

Old Families.
A very soarohing investigation was
carriod on a few years ago io tho north
ot England by two families who were
searching up their respective ancestry,
The slrile was great between them,
each determining to look into an
tiquity farther than the other. One
of the families, whoso name was Spen
cer, employed an artist to paint an
historic sueno representing tho build
ing of the Ark and the loading up of
the ship by Noah and' his sons with
its multifarious and various cargo.
On the gang plank lending to the
deck of the Ark, two men were seen
rolling up a largo box, on ono side ol
which was painted in largo letters,
'Holies, insignia, and papers belong
ing to tho Spencer family.' This wos
considered a coup d'etat hard to beat;
but the other family, dotermmod not
to be outdono in the antediluvian pre
tences ol their nniie, preparod at
greut cost and research a record ol
their antiquity. In describing tho ex
ploits of ono of their ancestors at a
vory early nay, who was represented
as a man oi autiiority, tins remarxa
blo passage ouuured: "During this
year Adam und .Eve were driveu out
ot Paradise."
Garfield, by tho way, has ordered a
suit against the Cleveland Plaindcaler
newspaper for libel. The subject mat
ter was culling him a renegade priest
who attended a quadroon ball in Hew
Orleans. It seems that, though bo
sought to go by a tall Philadelphia
mcmocr well known to "leenance.
Garfield refused. So did John Sher
man. They were like Joseph .in the
Potiphar family. As the French lady
said when she advertised for a valet
and saw appear btforo her a noble bo-
ing; ;
"Ta! tal What s your namo?"
"Joseph."
"Joseph I And so young I"
The aforesaid Cleveland paper came
into Garfield's family. Ho is usually
mild as pork and beans, but on this
occasion he arose and stormed. He
demanded justico on the head of Bil
ly ArniNtroug.
The Pennsylvania member aforesaid,
pursuing his loibles, was gayly wait
inrf around the a parlor with a lair
quadroon, when she remarked, "It's
. . i i
warm. Ihrow open mose loiding
doors!" When they were thrown
open, behold 1 two of the most illus
trious rneu in Illinois were exposed,
each with a pale yellow damsel on his
lap. The story was related and put
in the New Orleans papers, and, to
make it an even thing.a wicked Demo
cratic paper falsely accused Garfield

The Flr.i;Fraudaleal President.
Fran th London Triegraph.
The curious comedy of Presibent
making, now terminated, has had in
it many incidents on which the Amer
ican people may be congratulated,
but also much that, in tne eyes ol im
partial foreign observers, inflicts a na
lional stain. To begin with the dark
er trails, it is undeniable that the votes
ot probably three of tho Southern
States, and certainly of Louisiana,
have been given to Mr, Hayes simply
throgh the agency of deliberate fraud.
A President who directly and dis
tinctly owes his seat to the success ol
such frauds stands in a position un
like that of any of his riredecessors.
No such stain rested on one of them.
It is also a fact that he ia the first
Chief Magistrate of the Union who,
hs tailed to obtain a relative mijority
in the popular vote. He nvght lo so
and still legilly enter th White
House, tor thu votes are counted by
States, and the electors are not in ex
'act proportion to the population ol
each htate. bull it is a tact that waiU
Mr. Liucoln and others failed to ob
tain an absolute majority, they always
polled a higher number than any ot
thoir rivals. In short, Mr. Tilden haa
the molanoholy consolation of being
tho first man in American history who, '
having at his back a clear absolute;
majority of the popular voto, has not
won tho Presidency. Nay, more, the
electors chosen to nominate bint so
cured success at tbe polls, yet were5
ignored by State oflioials resolved that
a Democat should not win. We havo
long heerd from Amorioad statesmen
that the supremacy of tho 'majority.
nus mo guiuinvr. principle oi tneir in
stitutions, but in this case it baa been
deliberately set asido. The people,
rather than risk civil, strife or pro
longed uncertainty have dJcided just
now to submit; but the prccent is
perilous, and this "one more victorv"
oi the Republicans will probably ba
their lost.
