The following languago was used
by .Senator Chandlor in tlio Senate,
Maich 18th, 1870:
Wo havo now spent tiirco months
and a half in this capitol, not without
certain results. Wo havo shows to
tho people of this nnllon just what
tho Domooratio party moans. Tlio
people havo been informed as to your
objects, ends and alms. JJy fraud
iud violence, by phot-guns and tissue-
Hols, you hold a present majority
tin liQth Houses j)f CoiigioKs, and you
havo taken mi early opportunity to
show what you intend to do with that
mnjoruy inns omainco. You nro
within sight of tho piomised laud,
hut like Mofes of old wo proposo to
send you up into tho mountain lo die
politically.
Mr. President, wo nro npproachlng
tho end of this extrn session, and "its
record will 50011 bo history. Tho acts
of tho Democratic party, as manifest
ed in tills Goiigiess, justify mo in ar
raigning it before the loyal pcoplo of
tho United States on the political is
suos which it has proented, as the
enemy of the nation and the author
and ubholtor of rebellion.
1. I arraign the Democratic party
for having resorted to lovolulionary
mcnsuies to carry out its paitisan pro
jects by attempting to cocrco thn ex
ecutive hy with-holding supplies, nud
thiu accomplishing by starvation tho
destruction of tho Government which
they had fulled to overthrow hy arms
'J. I nrraigu thorn for having in
jured tho busines interests of the
country by forcing tho present extra
Mstou, alter liberal compromises
were tendeied to thorn prior to the
close of tho Inst session.
91. I arraign them for having at
templod to throw away the results of
tho recent war by again elevating
state over national sovereignty. We
expended 15,000,000,000 and sac
ifllced 111010 than !!00,000 precious
lives to put down this heresy and to
pbrpulunto tho national UJe. They
suricndeied this heresy at Appomat
tox, but now thoy n.ttempt to rohow
this pretention. ,
-I. I arrjign them for having at
tempted to damage tho bun'moss in
terests of tho country hy forcing
silvor coin into ciiculation, of loss
value than it represents, thus swind
ling the lulmring man and tho pro
ducer, by compelling them to accept
85 cents for a dollar, and thus enrich
ing the bullion owners at tho oxpeuso
of tho laborer. J'onr million dollars
a day is paid for labor alone, and by
thus attempting to force an So" cent
dollar on the laboring man you
swindle him daily out of .fOOO.000.
Twelve hundred million dollars are
paid yearly for lab.ir alono, and by
thus attempting to force an 85 cent
dollar on the laboring man you
swindle hiin out of f ISO.OOO.OOOnyoar.
The amount which the producing
class would lose is absolutely incal
culable. 5. lairaign them for havlnu re
moved without cnuio cxpoiienccd of
ficers and omployo of tills body, somo
of whom served and wero wounded in
the Union army, and for appointing
men who had in the rebel army at
tempted to destroy this-tiovcrniuont.
0. I arraign them for having in
stituted a secret and illegitimate tri
bunal, the edicts of which have been
inado the supicmu governing power
of Cougiess in dellanco of tho fundn
mental principles of tho Constitution.
Tho decrees of this junta nro known
although its motives aro hidden.
7. 1 arraign them for having hold
up for public admiriitoin that inch
rebel, .loirersou' Davis, declaring that
ho was inspiicd hy motives as sacred
njul as noble as uninvited Washing
ton i and as having rendered soryioos
in attempting to destroy tho Union

fame and Human glory. Laughter
on tho Democratic side and hi por
tion'3of the gallerjos. Youean laugh.
Tho pcoplo ot tho north will make
you laugh on tho other sido of your
faces!
8. I arraign them for having un
dertaken I j blot from tho stntute
bgok of tho nation wiso laws, render
ed necessary by tho war and its io
suits, and insuring "life, lihorty, and
tho pursuits of happiness" to tho
omunoipatod frcodinon, who aro now

aro seeking peace in exile, although
irged to remain by shotguns.
I arraiirii them for having at
tempted to repeal the wiso legislation
which oxoludus those who served un
der tho rebel Hug from holding com
missions 111 the army mid navy of tho
United States.'
10. lairaign them for having in

11. I arraign thom for having con
spired to destroy all that the Repub
lican party has accomplished. Jinny
of thom breaking their oaths of alle
giance to tho United States and
pledging their lives, their fortunes
hml tlioir sacred honors to overthrow
this Government, thoy failed, and
thus lost all they pledged.
Call n halt. Tho days of vaporing
aro ovor. The loyal north Is aroused
and their doom is scaled.
I u:copt tho issuo on these arraign
ments dUltn'cily and ppcclflcnlly be
fore the citizens of this great Jtcnub
lic. As a Senator of the United
Stales and as a citizen of tho United
Stale's, I nppcal to tho people. It is
for those citizens U say who is right
and who is wrong. I go heforo that
tribunal confident thnt tho Republi
can party is right and the Democratic
party is wrong.
They havo mado theso issues ; not
wc ; and hy thom thoy must stand or
fall. This is tho plntform which tlioy
havo constructed, not only for 187!)
but for 18S0. They cannot change it,
for wo will hold them to it. Thev
havo mndo their bed, and wo will seo
to it that they lie thereon.
A IM-itiiuillr Iiiclilciit,
A divorce suit recently came be
fore ono of tho St. Louis Courts, en
titled "Gregory vs. Gregory," jn
which thoro was n startling and sad
episode. The counsel for tho hus
band was unusually sevcro in his
stircluros against tho wife. Sho
exhibited groat agitation during bis
I remarks, and finally became so cx-
I cited that she could no longer re
strain herself. A St. Louis paper
thus describes tho scone that ensued,
"Sho roso from the witness chair
and throwing up her arms with .1
dramatic gesturo and tono exclaim
ed : "You will drive 111c crazy !
Would you rob mo of that I you
hnvo ruined my character. My
God! I cannot bear this, Eugene,
my husband save 111c ! save me !"
Those impassioned utterances pro
duced a great Hcnsn'ion in "Court, '
which was filled with ladies, wit-
iiosscs and spectators. 1 ho agoniz
ing appeal to tho husband brought
him to his wife's side. Ho bent
over her find did all, in his power to
eootho and quite her. An elderly
man who had accompanied Mrs.
Gregory lo Court also went forward,
but tho husband gavo him to under
stand that his wife having sum
moned him to her sido, ho would
allow no ono cPe to rondor any ser
vice at that time. Tlio ladies in
Court wore much cfll'flted by tho
scene and somo began to sob. In
tho ond tho proceedings were ad
journed until morning."

In 1770Captain Cook visited Botany
Hay in tho ICmknvor, which had been
despatched in 17GS on a scientific mis
sion. In tho course of tho voyage,
and when inchorod in Endeavor riv
or, 1111 oxploiiug and foraging party
returned to the ship with tho news
that tlioy had scon a now and curious
animal, of a mouso color, and about
as largo asagioyhound.which moved
with surprising swiftness and dexteri
ty. This animal was scon next day,
jm which occasion also ono of tlio
seamen brought tho surprising intelli
gence that ho had i-oen the. devil
this information relating to nn ani
mal' which he said had horns nnd
wings. Tho animal proved to bo
minus tho horns, (which were 110
doubt Its cars) but to possess wings,
and appeared in tho shape of a huge
fruit-eating bat. Tho now nniiual of
tho mouso color and of tlio size of a
U'reybnund was duly seen by Captain
Cook himself, who remarked its long
tail, and abo that it leaped liko a
hnreorunor. On Saturday, July 14,

called "kangaroo" hy tho natives, nnd
which was likewise proved to bo ro

Friends of Attomnv finLinrnl TW-.
j ens predict that ho will be nominated
to a position on the biiprenio bench
during tho coming session of Con
gress to succeed cither Justice Clif
ford or Justice Hunt, one of whom,
it is said, will probably retire before
President Hayes goes out of office.
George Francis Dawson, of Cali
fornia, formerly Librarian of the U.
S. Senate, and present Treasurer of
the Republican Congressional Cam
paign Committee, is announced us
a candidate for the position of Ser-
geant-at-arins of tho next House of
Representatives. Mr. Dawson is
favorably known as a journalist, and
as tho compiler of tlio Republican
committee's text book in tho last
,Jvo campaigns, who will bo support
ed by a large number of fiiends
among the members.
In view of the strong possibility
that Gen. MeMuhone may act with
the Republicans and thus tie the
Senate, u very interesting question
has arisen as lo tlio right of tho Vico
President to oast the deciding vote
on any resolution afleelingtho Sen
ate's organization. Somepromiuent
Democrats already arguo that as lie
is not a member' of tho Senate, ho
has no such right;' but on the other
hand, it is insisted that ho must
necessarily possess it for tho same
reasons that tho Constitution gives
him tho unquestioned power of
breaking u deadlock in all matters 1
of legislation. The importance of
having control" of tho Senate of
ejjH-sc reaches far beyond securing
uic (mice. inai uuacu mine pairon-
age of tho Senate, tho main point be
ing to secure majority roprcsontat ion
on the committees, by which all imj
portiiut legislation is shaped or large
ly dictated, and there is no doubt
that tho Republicans will make a
determined sllort to secure this ad
vantage as soon as the President
elect Garfield conyencs tho Senate
on the-lth ofliireb to confirm his
appointments. If there then he a
tie on organization and tho- Vice
President acts upon the Republican
theory and declares a standing com
mittee adopted, the Democrats will
havo no other recourse than appeal
from his decision; and although he
cannot vote upon a question of sus
taining his own decision, it cannot
be overruled except by a mniority
vote, a tio vote upon appeals being
equivalent to a minority vote. It is
furthermoie questionable how Judgo
j;avis would vote upon such an ap
peal. IIo will doubtless vote with
tho Democrats to retain tho present
organization, but on tho point of
parliamentary law nlxivu suggested
no might possibly vote with the Re
publicans. A letter weeived from a warm per
sonal friend of Gon. Mahone, dated
at Richmond, says Mr. Mahone de
clines positivoly to talk about the
future party relations or his own
political course, acknowledging him
self as completely surprised by tho
result. IIo says ho is undismayed
and will do his best next time, lie
says that for tho present, so far as
tho Senato is concerned, he is a cau
cus of ono and shall practice a mas

" How many times did ho rise to

"Do you think he had his senses?"
"Oh, yes."
'Anil from where you stood you

"Oh, yes. I was not n hundred feet

He engaged with a farmer in Utah,
and took a portion of the hitter's land

Tho Democratic lenders in Xew
York City raiso tho cry of fraud nnd
throw out the hint that the voto of
Xcw York may yet be counted for
Hancock. It meets with but very
littlo encouragement even from Dem
ocrats, nnd was possibly intended
merely to divert attention from their
own crookedness.
Tho Tribune's Philadelphia spccinl
says: Clinirman Cessna, of the Re
publican State Central Committee,
says of Ilarnum and Kelly's patent
'ratal scheme : "When the report or
rumor was first circulated on Thurs
dnytftcrjaQpn, I was not disposed to
i:ujisiiii;r.r u ns serious. .1 wiuugjivit
merely a movement among stock
gamblers ; but after considering it for
a time, I began to fear it was nu cf'
fort among the more desperate men
of the Democratic party to feel the
public pulse, and learn whether they
could witli safety perpetrate tlio great
fraud. I think now if they had con
trol of the Stato government of New
York there would bo danger, but ns it
is I do not think there is any cause
for serious alarm, as the better cle
ment of the Democratic party would
not encourn'go the fraud.
The Times' spccinl says: It' is
stattd that Hancock is much disgust
ed with the serious blunders and con
tcmptiblo meanness that hnsehnrnc
tenzed the conduct of the Democratic
campaign, and will not assist the
managers in covering up their own
manifold shortcomings by joining in
the cry of fraud where no fraud can
be proved or found.
The Rcpnblican National Commit
tee prescnte'd an address to the coun
try comprising the results of tho clec
tion, nnd concluding ns follows : Re
publicans may be assured that no af
terthought of two or three mortified
and desperate leaders of a minority,
writhing linger their party censure,
will be allowed to trifle with this
mighty verdict or prevent tho organ
ization of the Government on the ap
pointed day by the resolute men
chosen to administer it.
After Tluiii All.
One day last summer Jay Gould
stopped at Jockson, Michigan, on his
way from Chicago to Detroit, to meet
some railroad man who was coming
from Fort Vay''c. While wandering
around tho depot he was accosted by
a thick-set, middle-aged man with
gray eyes and an ugly nose, who
blurted out:
"Say, anin'tyou Jim Kecno?"
'No, sir," was the reply
"Bccauso, if you aro, I'm going to
punch your head!" continued the man.
"Jim Keenc busted my brother-in-law 1
nil to smash on the wheat business,
and I've sworn to break every rib in
his body if ever I get hold of him."
"Say, old fellow, I believe your
name is Vandcrbilt?"
"No, I am not Vanderbuilt," was
the reply.
"Because, if you arc, one cf your
conductors on this road bounced me
oil' a train and told mo to get satisfac
tion out of Vanderbuilt, and I'm
ready to take it hero and riow."

At the head of tho Salmon rivor, 3
miles fronr Bonanza, is Alturas lako,
8,000 feet high, eight or nine miles
long, lmi a boat on it, and of courco
is navigated. But thero is a lako 011
tho Saw Tooth mountains that has
probably no equal in tho United J
States, It is about 70 or 80 miles
from Bonanza, nud at an altitude of
nearly 12,000 feet. Tho lako lies in a
busin among tho sharp crags of tho
snowy Saw Tooth, and is a shoet of
perpetual ico. It was discovered in
August of last year by n party of pros-'
pectins, and named Ico Lake. Tho
sun seems to havo no 'effect upon It,
except in places bordering tho shore.
It is simply a great bowl of hard
mountain rock brimful ot solid ice, a
sort of glacier, upon which tho rays

The origin of tho above" oxpreeslou
is thus explained in a recent English
work :
All'ision is mr.de in the phrase to
divers ways of prolonging'capital pun
ishment in olden timts ; e. g.
1. The "Iron coffin of Lissa." The
prisoner was laid in the coffin, nnd
saw the iron lid creep slowly down
with almost imperceptible movement
slowly, silently, but suroly ; on, on
it came with its relentless march, till,
after lingering days nnd nights in sus
pense, the prisoner wns nt last slowly
crushc-1 by tho iron lid slowly coming
down upon him. &
-a The Raiser do la Viergo, or the
"Virgin's Kiss' of Baden-Baden.
The prisoner, blindfolded and fastened
to a chair, was lowered by a windlass
down a deep shaft from the top of the
castlo into tho very heart of the rocks
on which it stands. Here he remain
ed until he was conducted to a torture
chamber, and commanded to kiss the
brazen statue of the "Virgin," which
stood nt the end of tho pnssnge; but
immediately, when ho raised his lips
to give the kiss, down he fell through
a trap door on a wheel with spikcs
which wns set in motion by the fall.
3. Tho -'Iron cages of Louis XI"
were so constructed that the victims
might linger for years, but whether
they sat, stood, or lay down, tho posi
tion wns equally uncomfortable.
'The Chnmber a Crucej" or "crush
ing room." wns a heavy chest, short,
shallow, and lined with sharp stones,
in which the sufferer was packed and
buried alive
The 'Bernielcs" consisted of a mat
tress on which the victim was fasten
ed by the neck, -while his legs' wero
crushed between two logs of wood, on
the uppermost of which the torturer
took his sent. This process was" con
tinued for several days, till the suffer
er died with tho lingering torment.
Many other modes of stretching out
tho torment of death might easily be .
ndded.

"We have often attempted to im
press upon our readers the fact that it
is only from the extra food that any
growth can bo made. For if the calf
only gets food enough to support its
present condition, it must remain
without growth, and the food it cats
is 'wholly lost, and perhaps worse than
lost, for the calf cannot remain feta-.
tionnry without becoming unthrifty,
and this unthrifty condition will
greatly iuterfero with its future
growth. Every consideration there-
fore requires that calves should not bo
permitted to remain stationary, but
should keep up a steady, thrifty
growth thtcughout tho season, This
is what somo skillful, practical .feed
ers mean when they 'say that calves,-
should never bo pormitted to loso'l
their calf flesh; and if this can bo -picvcnted
they will continue to mako
a profitable growth till fitted for mar
ket. There is po feed given to a calf
during its whole life that will pay 11
oetter profit than this extra food wo '
have advised to be given during tho
first season, ho feeder cannot afford
to be illiberal in feeding his calves
his only profit depends upon his lib
erality. The Canada Pacific It, R. Sir J.
