'Demorati. Address to the American People. 'WASIUNGTON, March 4.-The De- ' uoom6atic caucus, at its meeting last C night, adopted an address to the c Aimerican people, reviewing the v evente which have resulted in the C declaration that Rutherford B. Hayes v haA been elected President. The res d pE slwws. how t9e Republican t p , tAe to its sectional noture, sO; t y niMfythje North against the v "s6olid South," and at the, same time v to make good its probable losses in b t1e1eN*rth by dividing khe v(tes of t tfie St'. This division it sought to e effect by an unconstitutional use of J the army. Notwithstanding tbia, the o r94flt.hored t-ht 196 Tilden Elce- i turs had been chosen by the whole e people, the popular najority itself a beiiggvgr a quairter of a million, and ( of t, white vote fe received a ma jority of more than a million. J The report then g. es on to show a tbe disgrnceful 'conspiracy in whbicht ie Republican managers then torm- 1 ed'ad.d 'carried out to reverse this y decisiQn,. selecting Sontbern States t under. 1adical rule,. and using as a readyt. tools; their returning boards. v The report brands the names of the l Rep ljecan rpes bore of the Florida and Lou isan a lyoards,Aut gives pami g tienlar precedence of dishonor to thei names of U Madi#dni Wells and Gov. e Kellogg. tleistory of the Radical e balesro stuffin~g and 4ntissidation e of colored voters, in. spite of which t the Democratic candidates were el- r ectid, and o~ the subsequent shame- c leas, actions its throwing .out votes I whol.ksale, is given. The republic, r 8ays the report, deserves to lose its ' libed ies if it tolerates such abuses an f hour. The storg,,as told in the re-J porta is a familiar one, but it dealse with sharp and deserved severity i: uron the :6$ i A4fie particu- r lars, iu. w!bich the great fraud has f hen,O it dealso with the electoral cottssionl. With the view of fa-. t ciliIasing the coun& and providing t for th jpeaceful performance of its dut7 bIy Conges% the report goes on J tos@ The bill wvas passed creating c the. comurideitin.

The report concludeswith the as iertion that "the inauguration of Hayes will be peaceable, and in that tour the most infamous conspiracy )f all history will receive its crown." Inside the Commission. A Washington letter saym While; Ie Louisiana case was under con ideration, Mr. Justice Miller read mn opinion that it was perfectly com >etent for the four members , thq bouisiana Returtkiag A.ar4A oaxi ass the vote, notwitatam$i4had he law said the vacancy must be illed. Representative Abbott said: 'Judge, let me read you an opinion 'rom Woolworth's report," and read 'rom a decision of Justice Miller, Cn lie circuit bench, in which he laid lown the doctrine that the acts of a ertain eounty board of canvassers rere void because they had neglect d to fill a vacancy. Justice Miller vas completely dumbfounded, and lid not attempt to undertake to make he least reply. In the Florida case Gen. Garfield as displaying his partisanship and rant of decency in an exceedingly Itter speech of the bloody shirt order, lied with allegations ot all sor!a ot rines against the Southern people. ustice Field tried to stop him two r three times, and said 'as evidence ad been excluded it was hardly em1petent to enter on such a line-of rgumjent. Justice Clifford said Mr.. rartield had the,floor, and it was his rivilege to go on il his oVn way. ustice Field only made one set peech during the entire sittings of lie comataission, which was on the i'lorida caso, when lbe took strong round against the ridiculous p)lea hat the two houses and the commnis-s ion were to be no more than pgssive vitnesses of the fiands which- had een committed. Justice Field, however,, asked a reat many questions. Wlaen Jus ice M iller was arguing that no pow r existed to go behind the certifi:-1 ates, lhe asked: "Suppose the Coi titution said that none but white pen were eligible as Electors, and, a egro was elected, must the certifi-. ate be given to him?" Justice diller' replied that he would have no ight to look at his face. Justice Field, But suppose you did look at his ace, and saw that he was black?" ~ustice Miller said: "I would be oimpelled to give him the certificate r he was elected, even it it wvas a wo nia. I would have no power to re-s Oase, as the Constitution and laws d6 ot provide a remned y.' Justice Cllflbrd 'dok less part in he discussions of the commission han any other member, and'did not ccupy twenty mninttes altogether. lefore the discusgIo in thbe Oregon ase had lairly begun, Justice Clif ord said: "I want It distinctly under tood that I do not endorse the CronK ni vote." Representative A bbott, in ~n impasSioned argument on the ouisiana case in favor of the Tilden Elector s, said: "My God! I cannot et otherwise, on my conscience, fter taking the oath whic Wwe ali ave." Justice Strong oaida "I hope nd believe twe are all acting, accord., rng to our conscience." Senator Bayard adoedied throw rg out tbe vote of South Carolina on lie Bole ground of Federaal intimida.. ion, throught the illegal use of troops ,ad deputy marshals.

The latest gnd most effective couni torblast against tobacco.was deliver ed by a lady in a sixth avenue oar on Saturday. One of those noble speci mens of man hood -who chew the weed and with impartial mind distribute saliva i.p6n bverything and every-. body within range, was sitting oppo site the lady. From his capaciou mouth, at regular intervals, a stream of amber juice fell upon her dress. Her look of blank amazement soon gave place to one of wrath; a frown blacker than midnight gathered upon her face. Patience ceasing to be a virtue, she at last rose, carefully gathered up her dress so as to lose not a drop of the fragrant liqnid, and, leaning towards her vis a-vii, wiped his face with the garibnnt he had desecrated, and then de'iberately re enmed her seat. The astonished mau roared with rage and pain, vainly ttled to wipe the tohacco juice fi om his smarting eyes, and at last rushed from the car, followed by roars of laughter from the passengers.-N. Y. Tribune. A TRICK OF Two BRL1m.ra.-Two Fifth avenue New York belles, as a practical test of' the generosity of their friends, dressed themselves in old clothes, and as the shaldes of' night were falling went out upon theaven fleabd slcited alms of every gen tlenuin'they niet. A shakm of the head or a muttered remark that they wer e "busted"' was all that was vouch safed by the greater number of pass ers-by. Their masquerading lasted an hour, they met nearly all their acquaintances, they gained. only' ten cents, and, though fair to see even in their poor attire, no Cophetua asked these beggar maids to share his fortune. They then turned their attention to the houses on the avenue, and their success lurnished a striking commentary on the moder'n pr-overb that charity begins hand ends at home. A crust of br'ead was all that could be spared from the tabIe of tives. these damsels had much sport ~in geEjing beneath the crust of- conven-. tionality, and pronounce their expe rience superior even to pri vate theat. tricals. Two ODD DBEMs.-An excbange tells a story of a gestremnan wl, on goiiig to bed, lost a gohIavm.utton, which on becogping detached roIled to a distantt cornet' of' the room. UTh searched for it about ten minutes, and then gave it up for lost.

WWONTsii wAS 1 SLAIN - 8.--This-eveoing I *at invited tolthe office of a promiti6ift 6ffi:16 biiAl ene here"t6 fisten to a terbiLrkable stori condernihg a sea 9arpent. I found iin the6 'k 'oom tw6 gentlemen of Ty 6cq1iaiattnceaqd a tiird Wfloi I did not know, a brouz4 -eatured, ull I1ar inan,, ibout.fifty years of ageq le was intrqoced to me as Capt. Powler, of tb brig Albatross, which had just arrived from a trad ing egpedition to tile. South Pacifle. On the round, table in the centre of the room was, the. log book of the Al batros; there were also four" glaese, a pitcher of water and a dqna-e bot tie contaihiig1Iolland -gin. I aRth thns per tiduMd to 'd6erdi04 thid de ,tald-bftb table in oiderlo prepare for what' flowed, I 'fo idd that neither Capt. Fowler nor myself made any use of the bottle, but stuck to the water and Manilla ci gars. After a few iginqtes talk qu general matters, the Captaip.opened his' book and reid the fo1.1( g, which I was :afterward, perwiitted to copy: November 10, latitude 21.11 south, longitude 122.25 west. Little while after six bells this inorning, se'cond mate, on wateh, 'ert for me to cotfii on deck. Albatross was headed west southwest one half south; wind light and unsteady from northwest; every. thing set that could draw log aver aging four knots. Mate pointed to something about a mile and a half to windward,, over starboard bow, and said he could not make it Out. When first seen lie thought it was a native piroque. While he was look* ing at it, it went under the water and came up about 500 yards nearer the brig. Ile then thought it was a sperm whale,. and looked for the spout, but there was none. At this time it was about two miles away, and lay for a miute or more almr.st motionless. Thecn it suddenly raised up abanmt twenty feet toward the Al, batross; it waived its head from side ,to side a full minute, and then dived under thme water. T 2hen the mate sent for the captain. Very soon after I got on, deck the, first mate came up and I ordered all bands called, By the time they wers all up I .concluded it was a great snake, and that be might attack the brig. .I ordered the mate to load the four rpound cavromnade with a heavy chaarge ot bullets, and to get ont the two'bomb guns fromn the arna chest. The boatswain and one man was or. dered to the carronade and the rest of the crew were armed with axes and whalinig lances. I took obe of the bomb guns and the mate thme oth. pr. I sent the second mate to the whee wih brd'ers 'to.keep her off a little an4 ~et a muel as possible out of her wray without shiftinig any T4ls erppt kept coming toward the r ig., ie dived under wateran2d thenz~ cajne-.up, and- each time he 'Was about 350 orn 200 i yards'- nearea'. When her came up hie stuck'his head 9 the-air abd-looked at dIsft's few secondg, then he jumped udhead and went undet'. Two de' thte& imd lie put huis tail in the ait 'just for 'a *ees pud sind I could see it swielhing in the ute A he weit down. When he got w ith in 'about 300 yards of us lie took a longer look thian before, anod I could see with my glast that his body was roundl like aesnake's and covered with scales. Hlis eyes were wide apart and very large; lie di4 not open his mouth, but I could see where his jaws caine toget ber very muich like those of a macikerel, only somethuing broader. Thme top of his head was rounded up high, and the side of his neck were puhied out like an East Iliia cobra's, but not so much.

I was standing ner the Wheel, and .before le raised pp I told the mqn,to stand by ,ner the mainmast and, wait for orders. The snake appeared , to look on the brig as. something alive, and paid no attention to tho men. To this fact I thiidk *owe out- Prev eerration, as thdmnake attadked the brig Instead 6*F ';. He looked all around, perhaps twenty secoalS, iad -tefi bib]' AA mouth, *Idehi was de Irae as tlae bri'cominibn way, an bad teeth; on'bo ws 0 ng aS Itie e sht up togethet like two saws. The root of his nouth was streaked ith . red and black, and his head was of green clor with splotches of yellow. The scales began on his neck just after his head, and seemed to grow larger as they went back.

The nuder one dropped down wii'n he opened his mouth, but it looked very thick and strong. WLCen he first opened his mouth he threw his head back and then struck at the brig close byJl,e windlass. I couldn't see whoit, aamed I V t, but the mate said ie seemed ,to strike at the windlass.and juet missed it. The noise was likeAhat .f-a barrel of beet rolling into the,bold,'Imt; -it did not' hurt the brig, and I could'-not -fe6l any shock where I stood. From the look of things I think he must hAve hit the frame 'arorid th6 windlass and he couldn'th bA'vb -i'ikod t a worse place for himbetf.

I ordered the boatswain to let him have it *ith the carronade acid the mate to give hInri the bomb gun. They obeyed ordere, while tbe snake was pulling &t the hatchy and got both olhargba into hd'is just as he tore it l'odg frokri the combings. lie broke the rail tie time about two feet abaft the cath eads, and when the bomb and bulleis weut into hidn he slipped f'info the water.
