A Complete and Masterly Document. WASHINGTON, January 13, 1875.
Tbe following message of President
Grant, on tbe Louisiana rebellion,
waa read before both bouses of Con
gress yesterday ;
To lie Senate of the United Slatct :
I bave the honor to make the fol
lowing auswer to a Senate, resolution
of toe eijititu instant, asking for in
formation as to ADy interference bjn
any military officer or any part or ttie
aruiy of tbe United Htates with tbe
organization or proceedings of tbe
General Assembly of tbe Bute of
Louisiana, or either branch thereof,
and also inquiring in regard to the
existence of armed organizations iu
that titate hostile to the government
thereof, and intent on overwhelming
such government by force. to say
that flawless men, turbulence and
bloodshed: have characterized the
political affairs of that State since it
organization under the reconstruction
acts is only to repeat what has become
well known as part of its unhappy
history. But it may be proper here
to refer to the election of 1S63, by
which tbe Republican vote of the
State, through fraud and violence,
was reduced to a few thousands, and
the bloody riots of 1866 and 1SCS, to
show that the disorders there are not
doe to any recant Muses or to my
late action of the Federal authorities.
Preparatory to tbe election of 1872 a
bbameful and undisguised conspiracy
was formed to carry that election
against tbe Republicans without re
gard to law or right, and to that end
the most glaring frauds and forgery
were committed in tbe returns, after
many colored citizus bad beeu de
nied registration and others deterred
by fear from casting their ballots
when tbe time came for a final can
vass of tbo votes. Iu view of tbe
foregoing facts William B. Kellogg,
the Republican candidate for Gover
nor, brought suit upon tbe equity side
of the United States Circuit Court for
Louisiana against Warmoth and
others, who bad obtained possession
of the returns of tbe election, repre
senting that several thousand voters
of tbe State bad been deprived of the
elective franchise on account of tbeir
color, and praying that steps might
be taken to have tbeir votes counted,
and for general relief. To enable tbe
court to inquirejas to tbe truth of these
allegations a temporary restraining
order was issued against the defend
ant, which was at once wholly disre
garded and treated with contempt by
those to whom it was directed. These
proceedings have been widely de
nounced as an uuwarrantable inter
ference by tbe federal judiciary with
tbe election of Slate ofiicers, but it is
to be remembered that by tbe Fif
teenth Amendment to the Constitu
tion of tbe United States the political
eqnality of tbe colored citizens is se
cured, and under the second section
of that amendment, providing that
Cougre8S shall have power to enforce
its provisions by appropriate legisla
tion, an act was passed on tbe 31st of
May, 1870, and amended in '71, tbe
object of which was to prevent tbe
denial or abridgment of surf rage to tbe
citizens on account of race, color or
previous condition of servitude, and
it has been held by all the federal
Judges before whom the question has
arisen, including justice btrong, ol
tbe Supreme Court, that tbe protec
tion s Horded by tins amendment and
these acts extend to State as well as
to other elections. That it Is tbe duty
of tbe Federal Courts to enforce the
provisions of tbe Constitution of The
United States and the laws passed in
pursuance thereof, is too clear for con
troversy. Section fifteen of said act,
after numerous provisions therein to
prevent au evasion of the Fifteenth
Amendment, provides that the juris
diction of the Circuit Couit of tbe
United States shall extend to all cases
in law or equity arising under the
provisions ot said act, and of tbe act
amendatory thereof. Congress seems
to bave contemplated an equitable as
well as legal proceeding to prevent
tbe denial of suffrage to colored citi
zens, and it may be safely asserted
that if Ja.eIIogg'g bill in the above
named case does not present a cise
for tbe equitable interposition of tbe
court, that no such case an arise un
der tbe act. Tbat the courts of tbe
United States bave tbe right to inter
fere in various ways with State elec
tions, so as to maintain political
equality and rights tberein, irrespec
tive ol race or color, is comparatively
a new, and to some it seems to be a
startling idea ; but it results as clear
ly from the Fifteenth Amendment of
the constitution and tne acts that
bave been passed to enforce tbat
amendment, as the abrogation of
State laws upholding slavery results
from tbe tbirteentn amendment to
tbe Constitution. While the jurisdic
tion of tbe court in the case of Kel-
iogg vs. Warmoth and others is clear
to my mind, it seems that some of the
orders made by tbe judge in tbat and
tbe kindred case of Antoine were il
legal, but while they ere so held and
considered, it is not to be forgotten
that tbe mandates of his court had
been contemptuously defied, andthat
they were made while wild scenes of
anarchy were sweeping away all re
straint of law and order. Doubtless
the judges of this court made grave
mistakes. Bat the law allows the
Chancellor great latitude, not only in
punishing those contemning his or
ders and injunctions, but in prevent
ing the consummation of tbe wrong
which be has judicially forbidden.
Whatever may be said or thought of
these matters it was only made known
to me that tbe process of the United
States Court was resisted, and as said
acts specially provide for tbe nse of
tbe army ana navy wnen necessary
tolenfiarce judicial process arising
thereunder, I considered it my duty
to see tbat such process was executed.
According to tbe judgment of tbe
court, resulting from these proceed
i n frs through various con tro versies and
complications, a State administration
was organized with William P. Kel
logg aa Governor, which, in the dis
cbarge of my duty under article 4. sec
tion 4, of tbe Constitution, I have rec
ognized as the government of the
AState. It has been' bitterly and

oy VYarrimtli and oltirfS, Was .q-j" v
leut to 'J),W) votes, and they add tual
to recognize tbe ilcEnery govern
ment would be recognizing a govern
ment based upon fraud in defiance of
tbe wishes aud intentioa of tbe State.
Assuming the correctness cf the state
ments in tbis repuit, and they seem
to have been generally accepted by
tbe country, tbe great crime in Louis
iana, about whicl) so much lias been
doce and said, is tbat one is holding
the office of Governor who was cheat
ed out of twenty thousand votes,
against another whose title to the of
fice is undoubtedly based on fraud and
defiance of the wishes and inten
tions of the voters of tbe State. Mis
informed and mu-iudeing as to the na
ture and extent of this report, tbe sup
porters of McEnery proceeded tr dig-'
place by force in some parts of the
State tbe appointees of Governor Kel
logg, and on tbe 13t-of April in an if-
l.,rt nf (lil VI . lit. . , will. J
zens was committed at Coifax, which
in blood-tbirstineas and barbarity is
hardly surpassed by any acts of sav
age warfare. To put the matter be
yond controversy, I quote from the
charge (Judge Woods, of the United
States Circuit Court to the jury, in
the case of tbe United States vs. Cruik-
shank and others in New Orleans, in
March, lt74. He said: "In tbe rase
ou trial there are many facts not in
controversy, and I proceed to state
some of tbem in presence and bearing
of counsel on both sides, and if I stats
as a conceded fact any matter that is
disputed tbey can correct me." After
stacing the origin of the difficulty
which grew out or an attempt of the
white persons to drive tbe parish judue
and sheriff, appointees of Kelloi,
from office, and tbeir attempted pro
tection by colored persous, which led
to some fighting in which quite a
number of negroes were killed, tbe
judge states tbat most of those men
who were not killed were taken pris
oners, fifteen or sixteen of the blacks
had lifted tbe boards and taken refuge
under the floor of the court house.
They were all captured, about thirty-
seven men were taken prisoners. Tbe
numoer is not denniteiy nxed. They
were kept under guard until dark
when they were led out two by two
and shot. Most of the men were shot
dead. A few were wounded, but not
mortally, and by prelfndins,to be
dead were afterwards, during tbe
night, able to make their eecipe.
Among tbem was tbe Levi JNel'on
named in tbe indictment. The dead
bodies of the negroes killed in tbis af
fair were !eft uubaried till Tuesday,
April 15th, when they were buried by
deputy marshal and an officer of the
militia from iew urreans. These
petsous found filly-nine dead bodies.
They showed pistol-shot wounds, tbe
treat majority .in the heart and oftcner
er iu tbe back of the head. lo addi
tion to tbe dead found, eoms charred
remains of dead bodies were discover
ed near tbe court bouse. Bix bodies
found under a warehouse were all
shot iu the heart but one or two which
were shot in tbe breast. The only
white men injured from the beginning
of these troubles to their close were
Hiduot and Harris. The court house
and its contents were entirely con
sumed. There is no evidence tbat
any one in the crowd of whites bore
any lawful warrant for tbe arrest of
aoy of the blacks. There is no evi
dence tbat either Nash or Cazobt af
ter tbe aflair ever demanded tbe of
fices for which they had set up claim,
but the register continued to act as
parish jude and Hhaw as sheriff.
Ibese are facts In tins case, as l un-
ticrotopil tbooa, to be. av4tnitWl. To
bold tbe people cf Louisiana general
ly responsible for these atrocities would
not be fact, but it is a lamentable fact
that insuperable obstructions were
thiown iu the way of punishing these
murderers, and the so-called Conser
vative papers of the State not only
justified tne massacre, but denounced
as federal tyranny and despotism the
attempt of tbe United States officers
to bring them to justice. Fierce de
nunciations ring tbrouzn the country
about office holding and election mat
ters in Louisiana,wbile every one of tbe
Colfax miscreants goes unwbipped of
justice and no way can be found in
this boasted land of civilization and
Christianity to punish the perpetrators
of tbis bloody and monstrous crime.
Iot unlike tbiswas the massacre in
August last. Several Northern young
men of enterprise and capital had
started the little and flourishing town
of Coushatta. Some of them were lie-
ftublicans and office holders under Kei
ogg. They were, therefore, doomed
to death. 'Six of them were seized
and carried away from their homes
and murdered in cold blood. No one
has been punished, and the Conser
vative press of the State has de
nounced alt efforts to tbat end
and boldly justified the crime.
Many murders of a like character
bave been committed in individual
cases which cannot here be detailed.
For example, T. H, Crafford, judge of
tbe parish, and tbe district Attorney
of the Twelfth Judicial District of tbe
State, on their way to court were shot
from tboir horses by men in ambush,
on the 8th of October, 1873, and the
wife of tbe former in a communica
tion to tbe Department of Justice,
tells a piteous tale of the persecutions
of her husband, because he was a
Union man, of efforts made t j seizs
those who had committed a crime
which left two willows aud nine or-
phints desolate. To say that the
murder of a negro or a white republi
can is not considered a crime lu
Louisiana, would probably be unjust
to a great part of the people, but it is
true that a great number of such mur
ders bave been committed and no one
has been vanished therefor, and
manifestly to them the spirit of hat
red and violence is stronger than law.
Representations were mad9 to me
that tbe presence of troops in Louisi
ana was unnecessary, and 1, relying
on the people, that there was no dan
ger of public disturbance if they were
taken away, consequently early in
last summer tbe troops were with
drawn from the State with the ex
ception of a small garrison at New
Orleans barracks. It was s;ated that
comparative state ofquiethad super
vened, political excitement as to
Louisiana aflairs seemed to be dying
out, but the November election was
approaching and it was necessary for
party purposes that the flame sumiM
be relihti-d. Accordingly ou the 14th
of September, D. Penti, claiming be
wss elected Lieutenant Governor, in
1S72, issued an inflammatory pro
clamation calling upon the militia
of tbe State to arm, assemble, and to
drive out thq usurpers, as he designat
ed tbe officers of tbe State. The
White Leaguers, armed and ready for
the conflict promptly responded. Ou
the same day the Governor made a
formal requisition upon the President
in pursuance of tbe act ef 179-5, and
section four of article four of tbe Con
stitution to aid in suppressing domes
tic violence. On tbe next day 1 is
sued my proclamation, commanding
the insurgents to disperse within nve
days from the date thereof, but be
fore the proclamation was published
in New Orleans tho organized and
armed forces, reoganiztnga usurping
Governor, had taken forcible possess
ion of the State House and tempor
arily subverted the government.
Twenty or more people were killed,
including a number of me ponce of
the city; ilie streets of the city were
stained with blood. AU that was de
sired in the way of excitement had
been accomplished, and in view of
the steps taken to repress it, tbe re
volution was apparently, though it is
believed not really abandoned, aud
the cry of federal usurpation and
tyranny in Louisiana was renewed
with redoubled energy. Troops had
been sent to the state nnder the re
quisition of tbe Government, and as
other disturbances eeemed imminent
they were allowed tc remain there to
render the Executive each aid as
might become necessary to enforce
the laws of tbe State and repress tbe
continued violence which seemed
inevitable the moment federal sup
port should be withdrawn. Prior to
and with a view to the late election
in Louisiana, white men associated
themselves together in armed bodies
called White Leagues, and at the same
time thraaU were made i : .he Demo
cratic journals of the Sttd that tbe
elections shonld be carried against the
Republicans at all hazards,' which

was intimidation of Republican voters
at the election notwiibstanding these
precautions, admits of no doubt. The
following are specimens of tbe means
used : On the lllh of October, eighty
persons feigned and published the fol
lowing at Shreveyort : "We, the
undersigned merchants of the city of
fehreveport, in oce-Jieuca ti a re
quest of the Shreveport Cam
paign Club, agree to use every
enoeavor to get our employees to
vote the peoples' ticket at the en
suing election, aud in the event of
their refual so to do, or in case they
vote tbe Radical ticket, to refuse to
employ tbem at the expiration of
their present contracts.'.' Oa tbe
same day another large body of per
sons published in tbe same place a
paper ii wiw rriow
fug language: "We, the undersigned,
merchants of tbe city of Shreveport,
aiivetothe great importance of se
curing good and honest government
to tbe State, do agree and pledge our
selves not to advance any supplies or
money to any planters, nor tj any
plauter, tbe coming year, who will
give employment or rent lands to la
borers who vote the Radical ticket in
the coming tlection."
' I have no information of the pM
eeediDgs of the Returning Board for
said election, which may not be
found in tiie report which has been
published ; but it fs a matter of pub
lic information that a greut part of
tbe time taken ti canvass 'the votes
was consumed, by the argifrnerita of
lawyers, several of whom represent
ed each party before tbe Board. I
bave no evidence, tbat tho proceed
ings of tbis Board were not in accor
dance with the law under Which they
acted. Whether in excluding from
their court certain returns, they were
right or wrong, is a question tbat de
pends upon tbo evidence they Had
before them, but it was very clear
tbat tbe law gives them tbe power, if
they chose to exercise it, of deciding
that way, and prima facie, th per
sons whom they return as elected are
entitled to the offices for which they
were candidates.
Respecting the alleged interference
by tbe military with the organization
of the Legislature of Louisiana on the
4th inst , I have no knowledge or in
formation which has not been receiv
ed by me since that time and publish
ed. My first Information was from
the papers of the morning of the 5tb
of January. I did not know tbat any
such thing was anticipated, and no
orders, no suggestions were ever giv
en to any military officers in that
State upon that subject prior to the
occurrence. I am well aware tbat
eny interference by the officers or
troops of the United States with the
organization of a State Legislature or
any of its proceedings, or with any
civil departments of the government,
is repugnant to our ideas of govern
ment. I can conceive of no case not
involving rebellion or insurrection
where such interference by the au
thorities of tbe general government
ou;bt to b? permitted or can be justi
fied ; but there are circumstances con
nected with tbe late legislative im
broglio iu Louisiana which seem to
exempt the military from any inten
tional wrong in tbat matter, know
ing tbat tbey bad been placed in Lou
isiana to prevent domestic violence
and aid to repress it. The officers
and troops of the United Slates may
well have supposed tbat it was tbeir
duty to act when called upon by the
government ror mat purpose. Each
branch of a legislative assembly is ttie
judge of tbe election and qualifica
tions or its own members, but if a
mob or body of unauthorized persous
seize and hold the legislative hall in a
tumultuous and notou3 manner, and
so prevent any organization by those
legally returned as elected, it might
become the duty of the State Execu
tive to interposp, if requested by a
majority of the members elect, to
suppress tht disturbance and enable
the persous elected to organize the
House. Any exercisa of this power
would be justifiable only under most
extaordinary circumstances, and it
would then lie the duty of the Gov
ernor to call upon tbe constabulary,
or, if necessary, tho military force of
the State. But with reference to
Louisiana, it is to be borne in mind
tbat any attempt by the Governor to
use the police force of that State at
tbis time would bave undoubtedly
precipitated a bloody conflict with
the White Leitgueas it did on the 11th
of September. There is no doubt but
the presence of tbe United States
troops on that occasion prevented
bloodshed and tbe loss of life. Both
parties appear to have relied upon
tbem as conservators of the public
peace. Tbe first call was made by
the Democrats to remove persons ob
noxious to tbem from. the legislative
hall, and the second was from Re
publicans to remove persons who bad
usurped seats in the Legislature with
out legal certificates authorizing them
to seats, and in sufficient number to
change the majority. Nobody was
disturbed by the military who had a
legal right at that time to occupy a
seat iu the Legislature. That the
Democratic" minority of the House
undertook to seize its organization by
fraud and violence ; that iu this at
tempt they trampled under foot the
law ; that they undertook to seat per
sons not returned as elected members
so as to create a majority ; that they
acted under a preconcerted plan, and
under false pretenses introduced int
the hall men to support their preten
sions by force, if necessary, and tbat
conflict, disorder and riotous proceed
ings followed, are facts that seem to
be well established, and I am credi
bly informed that thtsa ,vio!enf pro
ceedings were a part of ar premedita
ted plan to have the House organizsl
and in this way recozuize what has
been called the McEuery Senate;
then to depose Governor Kellogg, and
so revolutionize the State govern
ment. Whether it was wrong for the
Governor, at the requr-st of the major
ity of the members returned as elect
ed to the House, to use such means as
were in his power to defeat these
lawless aud revolutionary proceed
ings is perhaps a debatable question,
but it is q-.i'.te certain that there
would have been no trouble if those
who now complain of illegal interfe
rence had allowed tt e II jus? to be or
ganized in a lawful and regular man
ner. When those woo inaugurate
disorder, war and anarchy disavow
sue.i proceed in ss, it will be time
enough to condemn those who try
such means as toey have to prevent
tbe succebs of tlivir lawless aud des
perate schemes. Lieut. Gen. Sheridan
was requested by tne to go to Louisia
na to observe and report the situation
there, and if in his opiuion it was nec
essary to assume the command.
which be did on the 4th inst., after
the legislative disturbance had oc
curred at 9 o'clock P. M., a number of
hours after the disturbances. No par
ty motives nor prejudices ctn reason
ably be imputed to him, but honestly
convinced by what he has seen and
heard there he has characterized tbe
leauers ot iae wince Leaguers in se
vere terms and suggested summary
modes of proved are against them
which, though they cannot ba adop
ted would if legal, soon put an end to
the troubles and disorder in tbat
Mate. General Hheridsn iraa Inn'cinir
at facts Mid possibly not thinking of
proceedings wnica would be tbe only
proper ones to pursue in time of peace,
thought more of the utterly lawless
condition of society surrounding him
at the time of bis dispatch than of
what would proy e a sure re m edy. He
never proponed to do an illegal act
nor expressed determination to pro-
ceeu oeyona wnai the law in the fu
ture might authorize for the punish
ment of the atrocities which have
been committed and the commission
of-which cannot be successfully de
nied. It is a deplorable fact that politi
cs! crimes and murders have been
committed in Louisiana which have
gone unpunished, aud which have
been justified or apologized for, which
must refit as a reproach upon the State
and country long after tbe present
generation has passed away. I have
no desire to have United States troops
interfere in the domestic concerns of
Louisiana or any other State. On
tbe 9th of December last Governor
'Kellogg telegraphed to me bis appre
hensions that the White League in
trudrd lo make another anack. Up
on tbe Same day I mtd-j the follow
lug answer, since which no communi
ca' ion lias been e-nt t him:
Yourdi-patch of this data Just re
ceived. It it exceedingly unpalatable
to ue troops in anticipation of dan
g-r. Let the State authorities iw
riis'-t, a-id then proceed with their du
ties without apprehension of Oauer.
(f they are then molested, the ques
fin will be determined whether the
Uuitd states is able to maintain law
and or Isr within its limits r cot. I
have deplored tn- n-cesity walch
seemed to make it my duty uudr
tne constitution and. laws to make
such interference. I bave always re
fused, except where it seemed to be
my imperative duty to act in such a
manner nnder tbe constitution and
laws of tbe United States. I have
repeatedly and earnestly entreated
tbe people of the South to live togeth
er in peace and obey the laws, and
nothing would give me greater pleas
ure than to sea reconciliation and
tranquility everywhere prevail, and
thereby remove all necessity for
troops among them. I regret, howev
er, to nay tnat tbis state of things
dis not exist, nor does its existence
seem to be desired in localities, and
as to those it may ba proper for me to
say tbat to tbe extent tbat Congress
has conferred power on mo to prevent
it, neither Ku Klux, White Leagues
nor any other association using arms
and vjj?nc. to execute W-W.w.
fu I "purpose can ba permitted in tbat
way to govern any part of this coun
try, nor can I see with indifference
Lnion men or Republicans ostracised,
persecuted and murdered on account
of their opinions as tbey now are in
some localities. I have heretofore
urged the case of Louisiana upon the
attention of Congress, and I cannot
but think its inaction has produced
great evil. To summarize : In Sep
tember last an armed organized body
of men, in the support of candidates
wno had been put in nomination ior
the offices Governor and Lieuteoant
Governor, at the November election
in lbiz, and who bad been declared
not elected by tbe Board of Canvas
sers, reaogmzzd by a.i the courts - lo
which the question had been submit
ted, undertook to subvert and over
throw the State government tbat had
been recognized by me in accordance
with previous precedents. Tbe recog
nized Governor was driven from the
State House, and but for h s finding
shelter in the United States Cus
tom House iu the capital of
tbe Stats of which be was
Governor, it is scarcely to be doub
ted that he would bave been Killed.
From tbe State House, before he bad
been dri7en to tbe Custom House, a
cs.ll wa3 made to accord with the
fourth section of the fourth article of
the Constitution of the United States
for the aid of the General Government
to suppress domestic violence. Un
der those circumstances, and in ac
cordance with my sworn duties, my
proclamation of tbe loth of September
was issued. This served to reinstate
Governor Kellogg to his position nom
inally, but it cannot now be claimed
that tbe insurgents bave to this day
surrendered to the Htati authorities
the arms belonging to the State, or
that they have in any sense disarmed.
On tbe contrary it is known that the
same armed organization that existed
on the 14th of September, 1S74, in op
position to the recognized Stat Gov
ernmelitstill retain theirorgauizatiou,
equipments and commanders, aud
can be called ont at any hour to resist
the State Government. Under these
circumstances the same military force
has been continued in .Louisiana, as
was sent under tbe first call aud un
der the same general instruction. I
repeat that the task assumed by the
troops is not a pleasant one to tbem,
tbat the armv is not composed of law
yers capable of judging at a moment's
notice of lust bow far iney can go in
tbe maintenance of law and order,
and that it was impossible to give
specific instructions providing for all
possible contingencies tbat might
arise, the troops were bound to act
upon the judirtoeut of tbeir command
ing officers upon each sudden contin
gency that arose or wait instructions
which could only reach tnem after the
threatened wrongs had been commit
ted which they were called on to pre
vent. It should be recollected too,
tbat upon ray recognition of the Kel
logg government I reported the fact,
with tbe grounds of the recognition to
Congress, and asked that body to take
action iu the matter; otherwise 1
should regard their silence as acquies
cence in my course. Ao action has
been taken by that body, and I have
maintained the position marked out.
If error has been committed by the ar
my in these matters, it bas always
been on the ride of preservation of
good order, the maintenance of law,
and the protection of life. Their bear
ing reflects credit upon the soldiers,
and, if wrong has resulted, the blame
is with the turbulent elements sur
rounding them. I now earnestly ask
that such action be taken by Congress
as to leave my duties perfectly clear
in dealing with the affairs of Louisi
ana, giving assurance at the same
time that whatever may be done by
tbat body in the premises will be ex
ecuted according to the spirit aud let
ter of law without fear or favor. I
herewith transmit copies of docu
ments, containing more specific in
formation as to the subject matter of
tbe resolution.

The Mistake of the Volunteer Firemen.
At a recent destructive fire in a
country town, a number of the wculd-
bo savers of the property lost their
beads, and asjbere had not been a fire
of any consequence for years in the
place, when the call was made for the
town fire engine, scarcely any one
knew where to find it. Four excited
individuals however, started ofT with
a rope to pull it forth, and arrived at
the supposed place of deposit, some
distance away, they broke off the hasp
of the door, tbey blundered in among
wheels and some old lumber in tbe
darkness, and made fast tbeir rope.
Then they pulled with a will. The
machine yielded, and away they rat
tled down bill to the conflagration.
When close upon it, in tbe full light
of the blaze, they were halted by one
of tbe town officials, who demanded :
"sav. my men, who is in such a
hurry to be buried ?"
".Buried : we're going 10 put out
the fire."
"Put out the fire ! Well," said the
official, "You won't do it with that
old hearse, unless you load her up
with water."
The excited quartet turned round
and loosed at the vehicle behind,
when the truth burst upon tbem.
Toey bad in their excitement broken
into an old bearse bouse, and drawn
forth, instead of the Are engine, a su
perannuated old funeral car which
stood there, an inky old skeleton.

Horrible Judicial Cruelty.
William Buckle told Judge Walsh
in Brooklyn the other day, it was
true that he was drank on New Year's
day, and that he was locked np in
commiseration. "Your Honor, I'm

and p!ease God, I shall die there. I
came to Brooklyn to attend tbe
Beecher-Tilton trial and I bave been
in ill-luck ever since I landed here. I
stopped in a saloon near Fulton ferry
an i took sou? whisky, and then I
asked where Plymouth Chnrch was.
and a man pointed up to the sky. I
knew Mr. Bcher when he preached
ont west and I wanted to sec him. I
inquired for Theodore Tilton, and a
man told me be bad been dead for
fifty years. I wanted to know if tbe
trial would go on on Monday, and "
"Have you got any money ?" asked
the Judge. -
"Yes, your Honor ; enough to take
me to Boston," said William Buckle.
"Then I sentence you to go to Boston
and live there the rest of your life,"
said the Judge.
Another cremation ceremony has
been successfully performed In Ures
den, in the same oven in which the
bod v of the wife of Sir Charles Ddke
was lately consumed. No clergyman
could be found to perform the burial
ceremony, and a brief and impressive
speech was delivered by a layman.
The cremation was perfectly success
ful, with nothing t oollena the senses
Tbe impregnable logic of the argu
ments of tbe cremationists is strength

Smitns. One morning young Stan
ton and ureen smith, Gerrit a am.
took a number cf rifles of various pat
terns from tbe house, and erected a
target with a small bull's eyo in the
center, for the purpose! of trying thir
markmansbip and tbe quality of the
rifles. While tbe bovs were shoo' ing,
the old abolition hero came np and
looked on. The distance was about
fifty yards, and the shooting a little
wild.
"Captain suppose you try a shot or
two," said young Smith to John
Brown.
The old veteran, without saying
woid, ran his eye over the rifles and
selecting tbe one that suited him best,
loaded it carefully and took his stand
a little back of where tbe boys had
stood. Then holding bis rifle on his
right side, with the muzzle, close to
the ground, he looked straight at the
target, drew bis gua ap slowly and
fired the instant the eye sighted tbe
mark. Tbe ball pierced the center of
tbe bull's eye. He followed this ap
with two more shots in like manner.
The second shot struck Just Inside tbe
edge of the bud's eye, and third shot,
like the first, pierced tbe center.
"l'bere boys," said the old man,
laying down the gun, "that's tbe way
to shoot.".
John Brown at Gerrit Smith's. How to Treat Wet Boots.
What au amount of discomfort wet
coots entail, and how well we all re
call the painful efforts we have now
and then made to draw on a pair of
hard-baked ones which were put by
tbe fire over night to dry ! Onct? on,
they are a sort of modern stocks, de
structive of all comfort, and entirely
demoralizing to the temper. Tbe fol
lowing plan. It Is said, will do away
with tbis discomfort : When the
boots are taken off, fill tbem quite full
with dry oat. Tbis grain has a great
fondness for damp, and will rapidly
absorb the least vistage of it from tbe
wet leather. As it quiekly and com
pletely takes np the moisture, it swells
and Alls the bcot with a tightly fitting
last, keeping its form good, and dry
ing the leather without hardening it.
In tbe morning slicks out tbe oats
and bang them in a bag near the fira
to dry, ready for the next wet niRht ;
draw on the boots, and go happily and
comfortably about the day's work.

To Workingmen Who Think.
An anxious Inquirer in tbe New
York Tribune gives tbe following
valuabl hint to "workingmen who
thiuk :"
Does tbe merchaut, when trade is
dull, say he will not sell bis wares ex
cept at a good-times profit? No; be ad
vertises and marks his goods down to
cost, or even less, so they will sell
knowing that this is better for the
time being than to do nothing. Oa
the same principle, would it not bs
better for all classes of persons who
work for daily wages to offer theii
services for much less than they have
been receiving, to encourage some
one to employ them? I think, if tbe
different trades in the large cities
would bold mass meetings and decide
lo say to capital that tbey are willing
to labor for one half or two thirds of
the pay tbey receive in good times,
and keep faith with capital, it would
not be long before all would have
work, and tbe workman's labor and
tbe merchant's wares would bring a
good profit. I would ask, is not this
a bailor and quicker way to aeoure
good times? In tbe meantime tbey
will receive half a loaf, which I h ave
always found better than nine
The Old Red Cent.
As tLe old "red cent" Las now
passed out of use, and except rarely,
out of sight, tike the "old oaken buck
et," its history is a matter of sufficient
interest for preservation. The cent
was first proposed by Robert Morris,
the great financier of the revolution,
and was named by Jefferson two
years after. It began to make its ap
pearance from the mint in 1 792. It
bore the head of Washington on one
side, and thirteen links on the other.
Tne French revolution soon 'created a
rage for French ideas in America,
which put on the cent, Instead of the

Mot people need all the strength
which a high-toned public opinion
can give them to keep tbem true to
their conscience and their God, and
that opinion Is partly formed by what
we do and what we are. Strive earn
estly, then to order your life with a
wise simplicity. Be frugal In the
shows, and generous in the substan
ces of iife. Set the example, so great
ly needed, of wholesome moderation.
Snow that you care for character
above all else. Rev. W. JL Foote.
He was going up Jefferson avenue,
in Detroit, satchel in hand, when be
saw an cl 1 hat on the walk. He devia
ted considerably from bis course, stop-
fed close to the bat, and drew back
aud kicked with all his might. Some
boys gathered around him, as he sat
in the doorway holding bis foot and
grating his teeth and weaving his
body to and fro, and they explained to
hitu that he never should kick old
hats in a straoge town.
A libel suit in Lowell involves tbe
question of how much publicity ia
given, in the eyes or tbe law, to mat
ter written on a postal card and sent
through the mail. Tne defendant
wrote a letter to the plaintiff on a
pontal card, accusing bam of forgery,
and his defense is that, as the poat
otlice clerks are enjoin! to secrecy,
there was no more nf a publication
thai if the matter bad Ix-eu sent in a
sealed letter.
Mr. Bancroft, the historian, contin
ues to drive his Inexorable quill with
vigor. He rises at six, light bis fire,
and works until summoned to break

sumes his labors until one, when be
stops for the day, and usually take
rid on horseback, followed by a
"constitutional" walls of two or three
miles. Tbe evenings he devotes to
social enjoyment.
"Do you believe there are any peo
ple who never beard Old Hundred ?"
asked a musical young .'ady at the
family table. "Lot of folks never
heard it," interrupted a precocious
young brother. "Where are they, I
should like to know?" "In tha deaf-and-dumb

A drawing master, who was given
to scolding his pupils, once asked on

me what part yoa would draw first ?'
Tbe pupil looked np in the master's

Rev. Mr. Candor, of Philadelphia,

"Well, my friend," said tbe pastor
"what induced yoa to send for me ?"
Tbe patient, who was rather deaf, ap

It is an excellent restorer of health and
