JgULLDOZING BUTLER VOTLRS ON FIO Us PrYA0UTj ROCK, How the Republicans Carried the 8 tate-Wholesale Intimidation.--A Good Place to Begin Proseoutione. [From the Uhronicle aI (blnstitionalist. ] The Now York Tribune is owned by Jay Gould, according to com mon report. Mr. Gould is not gen erally regarded as the highest type of man, in any sense of the term. He is reputed to be dangerous to the human race in many particulars. He cares for the Golden Calf and all that surrounds it; but very little indeed does the freedom of the Republic concern him. He ip said to compass his ends by exerting in flueuces which reside in abundant gold. He has made an immense fortune by gambling, and chaos is his opportunity to plunder. We can very well understand why the organ of such a man should hate a solid South, because nothing prom ises to stand so persistently in the way of the schemes of such a wreck or. We can comprehend too why that paper should howl about bull dozing in the South, because that is a war cry not yet useless in the North, and indeed is the only slogan loft Radicalism of the baser sort. But there never was more gigantic hy pocrisy th m the attempt to m.ike it appear that "bulldozing is con. fined to the South. Threatened with the most infamous spoliation and debauchery by Radical recon struction, usin g as its instruments ignorant, venal and semi-barbarious tools, alien in race and interest, the South resorted to every method, well known at the North, to beat back this menaced destruction of her social, industrial and political systems. How is it at the North I Let General Butler, who reports his case through this very Tribune, speak. H3 says: "[ should have been elected if it had not been for the most outtntige ous and persistent bulldozing of the laboring men of Massachusetts by their employers, which changed thousands of votes. In one case a man had a factory with a very con - siderable number of voters employed in it. He took them down three at a time in his carriage. He voted the three and then went back for three more and voted them, and so on until he had gone through with his men. In other cases, when men asked leave of their employers to go and vote, they .yere told they could go, but they need not come back if they did-that they did not want their services any more. In anoth er case, in my own city, where a man found one of his workmen on the streets, he literally took him by the shoulder and marched him up to the polls and made him vote the Rtepub lican ticket--although he was known to be exactly the other way ; and had so declared himself-amid cries of shame I shame ! shame!i don't vote against your principle!i from the people in the ward-room. The Mississippi plan of bulldoZing is muc moe hnorbleandfarmore brv.That is done with a shot-gun, and two men can play at that. TeMassachusetts plan is to work upon the laboring man's fears that his wife and children will starve during the hard Winter that is comn ing, which is simply knavish, cow ardly and dishonorable ; and yet it is done by men who claim to be honorable men, openly advocated in the newspapers, and a circular was printed in this city which would have been distributed if I had not found it out and exposed it before hand, calling upon the employers to exercise the "vast authority they had'- over their employes" to make themn vote against me.' V GaneralTButler went beyond this. Hie said : "The Chairman. of the the Republican State Optinitten ient for leading manufacturers avid ha'd them at the Parker House at his room, to advise with them for that purpose. If he denies it,. I cam prove it. I hope I shan't -hear any. more talk from the Repizblieans in Congi-ess *h .:.e I am-about bull dozing.the negroes," - -We .hsve ntteredhadtns against 1dutler, and he deser'ved the. Btr her issomnething lat We may rely upon him to give them a Roland for an Oliver. We know of no Doctor who can cram down their proud throtts with so much effect the dose they would like to make us swallow. If the Tribune is wise, it will not force the issue on ballot-box stuffing and bulldozing. How A LoT or WALL FLOWERS Wans WOERRD OF.-It is undenia bly a marked trait of humanity to want what seems hard to secure ; to count as good all that fortune or circumstance seems determined to withhold. This is as true of wives as of anything else. Women who are easily had are not wanted, and those difficult to get have their charms enhanced by the mere fact of the difficulty. One Erastus Bailey, of Michigan, . understands this thoroughly, and has lately proved its truth by experiment. He had six homely and common-place daugh. ters, from seventeen to twenty-six, and not one of them found a bus, band, although other young women in the town went off connubially without any visible attractions or for any ostensible reasons. The paternal Bailey finally came to th e conclusion that his daughters were not exclusive enough; that they were entirely too accessible ; too much on the market, in sbort. Consequently, he looked them up, and gave out that the young men in the place must keep away from his house if they did not wish to be hurt. He intimated that he slept by day and sat up all night at home: with a club and revolver. The scheme worked beautifully. At the end of two weeks of this guarding t pretense, one of the girls' lowered herself from the chamber window, ran off, and got married. In another week a second disappeared in the same way. . A third recently re turned after a sudden flight as Mrs. -, and a fourth is engaged. The two remaining daughters are in imminent matrimonial peril. Old Bailey thinks of applying for a paten.t.-New York Times. PREFERUED PEANUTS To RIOwEs. A few, ,days ago a lady visiting Woodward's Gardens took an es pecial fancy for the monkeys, and stopping before one cage, swung her portnionnaie tantalizingly to ward the beast. The money seized it as quick as lightnina, snatched it from her grasp, and heedless of her tears and protestations tore it to pieces. The purse contained nine teen half dollars, and a five and a two-and-a-half gold piece-$17 in all. Chattering with delight, the ape stowed the money away in his chops and pouch, and frisked about, his cage in glee at his achievement.'t After vainly trying to induce the!] monkey to refund the money, the$( lady bailed the carpenter and in formed him of the misdap. The carpenter endeavored to bully the I ape with a stick, and drove the animal wild, but it obstinately re-. fused to surrender the coin. Final ly, abandoning coercion, the car 'penter resorted to strategy, alwvays the best policy. He procured a hatful of p)eanuts, and traded off'1 twenty-one of them for the twenty one coins. He would throw a nut' into the cage, and the ape, in order' to eat it, would have to drop a coin, which would be raked out of' the cage with a stick. It did notI take Jocko long to discover that for every coin he gave up he wvould receive a peanut. The coins could not be eaten, but the nuts could, so he made the trade with ,inllnite gusto, and after an hour's delay the lady got her money and departed. A FOOL, An Hrs Doe. -Gideon1 1 Ibach, the engineer of the Column bia Fire Company, is the owner of I a very fine hunting dog, which he has trained to perform various tricks. Among these tricks is thatK of placing a silver half dollar on the nose of the dog, who tossea it in the air and catches the coin in big mnouth. The dog performed this feat very cleverly, much to the de. light of his owner. A few days ago Gideon had the dog before an admiring crowd, and, placing the1 half-dollar on the dog's-nose, com-- I manded the dog to'toss it in the6 air and .catch it. . With a i>romnptness highly cdmmendable in man ahd beast the dog opened his mouth, caught the coin and swallowed it, much to the con3te3gnation of Gideons who aid nyt Jopk jor ,a result 801 unexpected.and unprofttable.

[Phladelphia Times,] Although every soason of the year as its charms for him who con, -emplates nature with the mind of a mgo and the piety of a believer in a mperintonding Provideuce, yet Ihere are periods when subjects for tdmiration and thought are more iumerous and striking than at thers. The flowers of spring, the golden harvest if summer, the ripening fruits of autumn, and even ihe tintless snow of winter, by their beauty, and adaptation to the wants >f animated nature afford much Phat calls for patient investigation ind ro%-wentiol gratitude. But aone of them spreads before us a reater number of charms or a icher display of beauty than that )art of autu'mn which is called Indian -summer. The- forestp. ere ,hey av aside their leafy covering, zie with the rainbow in the beauty )f their dyes, while the deep azure )f the sky. the mellow sunl ight and he bahny air lend their aid to make this loveliest part of the year. But wYhile enjoying the mildness ind serenity of Indian summer the jue3tion arises, to what is it owing wd why are these variel colors in tn American landscape, and this )quatorial warmth tempered by krctic breezes unknown in Europe ad other portions of the Eastern aontinent ? It has beeu observed hat Indian siumer never con nonces until severe frosts have ,aused the leaves either to fall from he tress or become lifeless and regetation in general to cease. Phe decaying verdure not only rows dry and warm, and thus im )arts an additional amount of heat ,o the atmosphere, but likewise lifuses innumerable particles through the air, which acquire a )igi teiporture. These, by par ially decomposing the rays of ight. cause the sky to aspume a leeper blue and distant. objects to tppear as viewed through inter iening smke. As is wel known, hle red rays are the least refrangi.. >lo, or are caused to vary less from L direct course when a ray of white ight is decomposed by passing ;hrough a medium. Hence the eason why a red light or a red -ignal can be seen at a greater listance than any other. Railway )peratives avail themselves of this )y using a red signal as a sign of langer, not, as many suppose, be iause it io the color of blood. )wing to the red ray being th e itronger and reaching the eye when ,he other rays do not, during 'ndian summer the sun towards ,vening presents a red appearance nd seems like at globe of fire de icending in the Western sky. The ,reater moisture of many portions )f Europe prevents the same effect rom being produced by decaying vegetation there that occurs in kmnerica, and it is, therefore, not urprising that . foreigners are mraptur ed by the beauty and oveliness of our Indian summer. As our country is denuddd more nd more of its forests the Indian mummier becomes shorter and less istinctive, since the leaves of the rees, by reason of their exposed osition, are muore highly heated han those vegetable productione vhieh are near the surface of the arth. Indian summer, though a oeurce of pleasure and delight to mmny is far otherwise to those ifilicted with disease of the lungs, ins the amount of finely divided natter diffused through the atmnos, >here aggrev'ates the disease. The samue Indian summer ia snid to have een given by those Europeans who irst made the Western wilderness heir homos, because the hostile ndians usualy took advantage of his mild weaLttuer to ma:ke their tiason the settlements.

WASHINGTON, November 22:--The Committee on Appropriations of the House had an informal meeting yesterday, but in the absence of the c:.airmun no business was transactel. The committee will meet to-day. At the time when Republicans con ceded a very large majority in the House of the Forty-Sixth Congress to the Democrats, Mr. Hayes' Cabi, net Ministers agreed upon largely reduced estimates for government expenses. When, just before, and at the time of election, it seemed likely that that majority would be very small, it was understood that the reductions would not be sweeping. Now that it is settled that we have about seventeen or eighteen majori. ty--a safe on-I hope the commit tee will go on steadily and firmly in making not only the reductions originally proposed, but other and Igieater ones. It is generally be lioved that the head of each De partment knows better than Con gress does what is needed in his Department. This is not the fact once in a dozen times. There aro Democrats on the Appropriation Committee who know far more than Evarts does of the needs of the State Department, than Key does of the post office department, or than any othcr of the secretaries does of the department over which he presides. Let such Dem ocrats do all they can to h we their own convictions made law. It is their duty. It will be to their advan tage. Georgia did well on Tuesday by re electing General Gordon to the United States Senate. No Southern man has more influence than he among those who make laws for the country, and none use it for better' purposes. The ingenious man who name to this city and attempted the other day to personate one of the crew of the izron wrecked a year ago, has loft us. He wis a fraud. He re sembled the missing sailor in person and had had himself marked in india-ink in imitatiou of him He had also served in some of the same vessels. The secretary of the navy, who knows as much of sea. faring life as an Esquiniax infant does of life in central Africa, was the only party really deceived by the imposter. AUSTIN. 8TVX TO YOURP AR. Trade in manufactured goods is playing some queer pranks nowa day. A man or a company mty work hard, expending much time and money in perfecting some arti cle of general tise, and suddenly find that elsewhere some one has been at the same work and can sell the results for less money. A few years ago England was the only country which manufactured o )tton prints for export, hvbile the idea of any one c;ompeting with- her in her home markets was laughed at as a bit of insanity ; but to day Ameri, can prints aire being worn by opera% tives in English cotton mills, having been fouxnd to be prettier, better and cheaper. Nowv we hear that agents of German cutlers have been to Sheffield, heretofore the no kniowledged centre of the cutlery trade of the world, -and sold their goods at prices which the home manufacturers could not underbid, Sheffield will continue to make knives and scissors, and no Ameri can will be foolish enough to hope that the English print works will be closed, but the illustrations which we have given of the fiuetua. tions of trade will showv the Ameri can farmer -that businese which he mournfully considers more profitable than his, own are subject to drawbacks and dangers which the agriculturist never knows. Blreadstuf's and food materials of every kind are always in demand, and have a tolerably uniform value the world over. No competition, no noiv farming community that may be developed, can ever afflict farm. ers with a "lock-out" such as .work. ers in the trades are constantly ex periencing, nor in tremendous fail iures like th'ose which are constantly syartling 'the commercial world.
