Tha Times.
The contemplation of the tiies in
which we now live, in their diversified
character and phases, suggests much
food for sober reflection, 1ad is in
every way calcuhited to awaken us
to a ivid realization cf the actual
groatness of nature, and the niscra
ble instability of all human institu.
tions.
There was a tine when tle Ami
Can Republic stood pre-eminent.
ami ngst the governinenits of thle
World as the true enbodimient of the i
grand principlea of civil liberty, when
its flag was r cogn ized as the emblemi

signification.
N r is the glory and fame of Ameni-1
can istitutions any longer the theme
of modern poets and hi.storians. TheyI
too are numbered with the irrevoca
ble past. In theze times of corrup
tion in high circles, military opIres
sion, and the protection of crime anid
vice, little is thought by our rulers of
that which raises a nation in the scale
of prosperity, of that which tends to
the inculcation of noble resolves, hg
aims andh aspirations, and a trueap
.t peciation of the lofty dignity of tan
enl ighitened people. These imapor

tmes gone-hy guided the destitnies ofi
this counttry, and reflect upon the cir

ed, by courtesy, the present adminis
traitioni, we arc certainly apt to be
lieve that America'j glory has for
ever departed, the na me lost its
charm, and the stars-and-hstripes in
deed "a flaunting lie.'' Whlen we
see the foteign representatives of this
oieco powem ful governent snubbed i
and scoffed at, our flag dishotiored in
frienidly waters, and almost in gun
shot of our own shores, the fact of cur
disgraceful retrogression conies fully I
before us, and we tretmble for the ul.

Aside fr-om the political restro

The SUlt Against Gen. Butler-Wiegel Ia
. a Fight, Uc. - .
In the trial'in Now York of the
suit against Gen. Butler for an alleg
ed forcible seizure' of the steamor
Nassau at Now Orleans, in 1862,
wHile he was in command there, to be
used by his brother in cotton and
sugr ispeeilations, the whole of
Fridap~andSatqr4ay was consumed in
technical legal a ument as to the ad
miasibility of documents connected
with the ownership of the Nassau.
There was a large attendanco in the
court room, and inny prominent
members of the legal profession were
present. Gen. Butler took a leading
part in the argument. -
The New Yolk Sun states that on
Vednesday evening, after his testi
ioiy in this suit, Licut. Wi. II.
Viegel had a fight with Cap. Fred.
Martin, forwuerly of GeIn. Butler's
staff, in which the latter camte off
second best. Wiegel, it is stated, was
in his room asleep, When Martin en
tered and after announcing himself,
said to Wiegel, "You wrote a letter
to Gen. Butler, in which were these
words: 'Is there any of your kidney
who will resent an insult I Will any
of your pups, fight 1' "Now, sir, I am
one of Butler's pups, and I cain fight."
Both the men weigh obout 180 lbs.
each, and when they clinched in tie
fight that fullowed, the contest was
very severe. Wiegel is represented
to have punished his opponent severe

Sunday afternoon a iwoman, resid
ing in Brooklyn, went. to a field iear
that suburb to pick blackberries, ac
companied hy a large and valuvkhle
dog. While engaged in getting ber
ries, her attention was attracted by
the dig, which was bal king furiously
not fair away, and going t-'muards the
spot she discovered a huge rat
tiesnake, coiled up on the defensive
and keeping the dog at bay. As the
woman aproached, the snake, with
drawing its atteintion front tihe dog,
suddenly uncoiled and glided towards
her, whereupon she turned and fled -
but the dog, taking advantage of the
opportunity thus presented, sprung
upon the- reptile and seized it with his
teeth-the snake at the samno tine
burying its fangs in the dog. The
womtan did not stop to watch tihe fight
but huriied homo with all possible I
speed, and not long after her arrival
there the dog draggel himself to the
gate, covered with blood and terribly
swollen, and almost immediately died.

BANDIT nOBBERIES.
Yestorday evening a party of forty,
supposed to be headed by the bandit
chief Portugal, appeared near this city
and robbed several persons and coam.
mitted two murders on the road,
within cannon shot of the fortifica

MARTIAL LAW OUTRAOE.
Yestorday a pleasure boat on the
Rio Grande, between this city and
Brownsvillo, containing Mr. Chase,
Manager of the Telegraph in Browns

and the men compelled to land and
burrender themslves.
They were taken to the military
quarters, where they were detained
for some time.
This is the fir.st resistance of Mexi
can authorities exciising surve,1lauce
over the river under direetk.n of

crable excitement, as it was attended
by a wanton disregard of the lives of

Mexico has no right to exercise such
a utliority.
Ahiletion from Cai ttatllaTho Case of
Bratiton.
The Canadian government and
press are just now greatly excited
over the circumstances under which a
refiugee from A metican justice was,
as allege0, forcibly abducted fromt
London, Ontario, by American ofli.
cials, and cariied to Detroit. The
nam.111e under which the man was known
in London is Rufiiis Brattun, and the
ufficials arrested him on charges
under the Ku Klux laws. The Brit
ish Minister naturally made a do
mand for his return to tie place
whence lie was carried off, stating
that under the Extradition Treaty
regular legal proceedings could then
be imistituted against him. The State
Department, of courso, undertook to
conmply with the denmard, if the facts
were as stated ; but the first diflicul
ty presented itelf when the attempt
was made to find the whereabouts of
Bratton and his captors. This ele.
ment of mystery in the caso tended
greatly to complicate the matter, as
it Was impossible to say whether the
whole matter was not a trick gotten
tip by tile man and Is friends the
more thoroughly to throw dust in the
eyes of his pursuers. It now appears
that Brattton has been discovered in
the custody of the North Carolina
United States Marshal. A regular
extradition warrant had been secured
for the capture of a man niamed
Avery. The Canadian efficials de
livered up Bratton instead, and hlence
