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.

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.

[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. If so,
vhat is now welcomed with pleasure

The Appropriations--The Duty of the
Demoorats---General Gordon--A Na
val Fraud.
[COimFO14NDENCx oF Tim NEws AND) 1lCRA1LD.)
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

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

trade of the world, -and sold their
goods at prices which the home
