The youlig wan WASbrought lip in the libel implicit ohe(if-
title to his good Puritan mother's reli-gimp faith. But at the age when the.reasoning pincers begin to suliereedethe simple trust of childhood he beganto linnwit out into free-thinking, andthen for the first time he set him-self to reading. 11 is hooks were exclu-sively those or religious philosophy.—Cutting loose front the faith iu which hehail been bred, he invented daring theo-ries of his own upon religious matters.His theological inventions were, ab-stractly speaking, very unfortunate,though, practically, they earned for hintall the money he now possesses ill theworld,; for the Cardi iimt—the sourceof his fortune—was the direct upshotand result of his metaphysics, and thatin this wise: The young skeptic, cool-ing to manhood, possessed a tolerableknowledge of the polemical literatureor religion. Ile had read something onboth sides, though, of course, generallyon the wrong side. Ile had devouredeverything that savored of rational phi-.losophy, whether found in David
~. I I unie's wri I ings or in The,A2tritzyli,-hlllepublioun. Thus he had beconie,i itedecently fortified in infidelity, and likednothing better than to idiots ill his py-rotechnic arguments against religion, byengaging in discussions with .dergy-men, deacons and church elders. It wasin the midst of one or th,, ,e discussionsthat there flashed on his mind the con-ception of John Henry Catidill; the On-ondaga Giant of tlypsuni.
At the age of 28 the young, but con-firmed, skeptic left the paternal farm tomake his own independent fortune inthe world. Chance guided his footstepsto Binghamton, then mite of the flour-ishing large villages or interior, NewYork. Charmed with thte resemblanceof the Chenangio Valley to the rich flat-lands of the Connecticut, he sought himout a few fertile acres two miles northof the village, and transplanted therehis old Connecticut()evolutionof tobac-co-raising. On this farm he stayed 15years, and beside arguing alt his religi-ous neighbors out of their senses, hecontinued to pay for his land, and after-ward to support Ids old parents underhis own root. At the end of this tyears he found himself in possession ofai—for a farmer—comfortable little for-tune, being %Vltrtil, when the importantcrisis in his file cattle, say Thisteas about. 186:1, war was thennothing men restless, and driving themhither and thither on all sorts of mad er-rands, eitheroll fortuneor military glory.The Broome; Comity tobaceo•pluaterwas infected, and taking his fatally, hestarted fur "Ow \Vest." Ile went toWisconsin, and then to lowa. Ile neverforirot his skeptical arguments. \Viler-ever he went, no clergyman' or preach-er, Protestant or Catholic, Hebrew orWeek, escaped his' batteries. Manywere the nights that he sat up till mon,-ng arguing on theological !natters. One
dark, stormy Winter's evening at Ack-ley, Marlin Co., lowa, he was sitting bythe dying bed of a man named Ogden.'The village pastor had been called in,and he too was a watcher in the sick
,croom. True to his instincts, Mr. Dullcalled out the aked divine in vindicationof his belief. From a measured and slowconversation they advanced to a heateddiscussion, which prolonged itself intoan argument, and continued till nearlymorning. Debating upon the veracityel the Old Testament history, the skep-tic stated his conviction that the. firsttwo Chapters of Genesis, giving the his-tory of the Creation, were false. Thisthe venerable clergyman stoutly con-tested, expressing the most implicitfaith in the narrative of the Creation,and in the fact that our first parentswere more nearly perfect than their de-fleellOan Ls have proved to be. "Therewere giants in those da) 5, you know,"iiidd the clergyman. "Wind evidencehave you that there were giants de-manded his antagonist. "Why, somehave been found, Sir," replied tne zeal-ous but imprudent clergyman.
Retiring to bed about daybreak, the~Inaded brain of the skeptical debater'l•elleeted long upon whatseemed to him
the bigotry of religious zealots. "Theyare ready to believe anything," he ar-gued with himself. "No matter howiurpossi hie, they take stock in anythingthat affords them au argument. I ver-
,ily-believe the old gentleman would be-lieve a sack of hard salt, was Lot's wife,if it were properly shown him. Hun-dreds of people would believe in a stoneimage of one of the sons of Anak Iftheyshould find it already Manufacturedand couldn't discover its origin." Thenflashed on him a full conception ofJohn Henry Cardiff; :the OnondagaWant. It sprung up iu his heatedbrain in full panoply. Every detailwits there; the stone image, its burialand discovery, and the fortune to bemade out of showing it to thousands ofthe credulous at 50 cents a head ! It iswonderful how works of genius thusflash on the inspired brain. Nothing

act form of the image resuscitated fromantiquity ; its peculiar posture, unlikethat of statues of godsend men, provingit conclusively to be not all image buta petrifaction ; the very pores of theskin, showing that the stone once hadflesh and blood and a vascular system—-all had their place in that first concep•Lion of- genius. Then there was thecomplete scheme of the fortune to hemade from selling out halfand quarterand eighth interests. In only one sin-gle respect did the Idea differ from thefinal realization. That was in respectto size. 'rice sons of Anak, to be likethemselves, must surely be It feet Inheight ; and of that stature it was de-termined that the fossil man should bemade, 'to the uttermost cubit. Thedifficulty of finding a stone sufficientlylarge, however., caused The giant toabate in his !Mal actual length to lofeet 11 inches,
the lid was spiked•down, and the wholebox was strapped around and aroundwith sturdy iron strips i-Inch thickand H inches wide. The next dayJohn Henry Cardiff' figured on theway-bills at the freight depot, un-der the direction of " George Olds,Union, Broome County, New York."—It had been the intention of the projec-tor to bury the giant in a Western prai-rie, and afterward to emigrate thither.But It was found, when the Statue wascompleted, that funds were lacking fortransporting it to the West and for pro-curing andfitting upanemigraut wagonfor currying out the scheme. It wastherefore decided, by that ill luck, thatthe image should be shipped to Bing-hamton, so that its owner, having thegiant at home, could take his own timeand wait for the capital to come to hand.Union, whither the box was shipped, isthe next railroad station west of Bing-hampton. Mr. Hull Iffmself came tollinghampton and rejoined his family,after an absence of nine months devotedexclusively to his mysterious project.—The problem now was where to burythe giant. It was then the Summer of1808. A great sensation had Just beencaused by the discovery of a rave in theearth at Salisbury, Conn. Report de-scribed this as asecond Mammoth Cave,full of all sorts of relics and remainsof remote antiquity. "Here is theplace for them to discover a fossilgiant," said the giant-killer, and hestarted at once for Salisbury. But theowner of Ilse new found Mach pelah de-manded a fabulous price for it, and thegiant was compelled to abandon his In-tendons against Connecticut. Some-thing 'oust, speedily be done, however,or the stone inan was now on his way
East, anti must be taken away from therailroad station us soon as It shouldarrive. At this point It occurred to theunfailing genius of our giant-builderthat he had an acquaintance, one New-ell, withal a shrewd fttluw, living nearSyracuse, New YorkH His residencewas in the middle of that famed "On-ondaga Hollow, ,where geology placesan ancient Inland sea, and where rumorspeaks of wonderful fossil discovelles.To Onoinlaga therefore went the fatherof giants. lie found Newell,.gentlybroached the subject to him, and dis.eovered that Barkis was willing, andnot only willing but anxious to get ashare in the proprietorship of the forth-emning wonder. After Some bargain-ing it was stipulated that Newell shouldreceive a one-eighth interest for his ser-vices in the affair. On looking overNewell's farm Mr. Hull discovered aspot of sunken ground near the barn,which appeared to he dm location of anabandoned well," Now,Newell, there'sour spot,'' said Anal:, the father ofgiants; "you commence a well there,draw stone for curbing, tell all yourneighbors that you are going to open awell for your cattle next Summer, andthere's our game." Newell repliedthat he could play that. ":Well, youwant to study on that one: point, andnot tell anybody, not ',yea your wife."" lint, after all, I believe Newell blow-ed ou me„' said Mr. )lull in describingthe result.

Peeking the Sapremi3 Court
From that night, Uneasy rested thehead that gave birth-to that marvelousconception. The secret was kept lockedtightly there, however, for eighteenmonths. Nothing was added to or nob-!mated from the original design, and theonly thing developed was the moneyand the pluck necessary to carry thething through. At length, in the earlySummer of 1507, the decision was taken.Mr. IIull brought back his family toJtimglutntpton, and started again imme-diately for the' West to begin work.

of getting a partner, theplucky giant-maker set outagain :done.lie heard of vast gypsum deposits nearFort Itodge, lowa. .41rter visiting andsurveying the gypsum he determinedthat the material was exactly that ofpetrified giants, and so he bought anacre of thequarry land, being three milesbelow Fort Dodge, on the east side of theriver, paying Sloe for it. Then drills,crowbars, blasting implements, andpowder were bought, and the first steptoward revolutionizing geology- com-menced one bright morning. in August.Four rues' were hired to help quarry outthe stone. They were compelled to ex-cavate to a depth of 13 feet before :toypie“, of stone sufficiently large werefound. Even then the layers scented toothin for a prime giant ; so work was sus-pended for a few days, and furtherprospecting for a better quarry wasdone. The giant-builder heard by re-port that at a spot,a toile to the east,theDubuque and Sioux City Railroad Com-pany was engaged in constructing a cul-vert, and was quarrying large pieces ofgypsum for the arch. Going there, hefound some beautiful large sections thatseemed especially made for embodyingthe fossil remains of a giant. Quarry-men were hired to getout as large apiece as possible. By successful "feather-rig," a huge fragment of gypsum. 12
feet long, tt.l feet wide, and 2 feet thick,was separated from therock. That frag-ment is to-day the Cardiff Giant. Thestone thus procured was 43 tulles fromthe nearest railrord station. A contractwas therefore made With a teamster tocarry it. this 43 miles for $125. Hehitched on all the horses he could getand tugged at it three (lays, getting italong oily two miles, and then aban-donedthe job.

It was agreed that the stoneshould be at Booneshoro' in three days;and its owner was told that he need givehimself 'no uneaiiiness about it. So hebetook his wearied brain and body tothe Boonesboro' tavern, and rested one

Grant and the Bayonet Law
11111111MEM=Hull now returned home, and waited
' week for the arrival of the giant atUnion. At the end of thattime he senttwo men and four horses for the bigboxconsigned to "George Olds." Theyloaded the box on the wagon and startedfor Cardiff, some 70 miles distant. Peo-ple along the road frequently askedabout the contents of the strange-look-ing box. The usual reply was, "It'sJeff.Davis"—an individual whose mem-ory was then just dying out of theworld. The drivers of this wagon wererelatives of Mr. Bull, and were good,trusty fellows. It was so arranged thatthey should arrive at Cardiff in thenight. So, stopping at Newell's houseabout midnight, they unloaded the vastbox, covered it up in a mass of chaff atthe barn door, and in twenty minuteshad driven away again, leaving thebarn-yard alone to darkness and theunsuspicious-looking mass of chaff. Inthis ignoble condition lay the wonder-ful giant for threeor four weeks. At theend of that time a derrick was finishedand shipped. by railroad to Cardiff. Thatnight 'hull and Newell removed thesleeping giant from his tied of straw tothe "well" and buried him. Home atlast in mother earth, Johh Henry nowawaits the trump of the Harvard Collegeprofessors to awake him into the famousantediluvian man. He waited just oneYear. During: the Winter, Newell drewstone for building his "well." Whencurious neighbors made inquiries he ex-plained something as forlows : "Waal,you see, them cattle of mine have aderned hard time of gettin' through themud to the creek to drink, and I'm goin'to have a well fur 'eni here at the barn."Then receiving the full approbation ofhis neighbors (without which it is so im-possible to do any new thing on a farm),Mr. Newell proceeded in the Summer toopen his well. When they had dug1101511 a few feet the giant was discover-etl lying on his side, justas he had lainfor 2,100 years,' by the very marks ofthe earth surrounding. Curious neigh-bors returned to gaze. Rumor spreadthe report. Citizens of Syracuse cameup in flocks to see the wonder. Crowdsfin crowds now came to see. Newellswore that he Wouldn't have his grasstrodden down anyhow, :did covered upthe hole again. 'Phis was too much forhuman curiosity. The crowd demand •ed a sight at the mysterious giant, Midoffered to raise money to pay for the de-struction of crops. So it finally. natur-ally, though wholly unexpectedly, youallow, came about that 30 cents wascharged as an admittance fee. At thisprice over 3,000 persons visited the giantdaily. A special excursion train witsrun from Rochester. Scientific menpricked up their ears from afar, andcame in crowds, put on their spectacles,examined, saw the pores in the skin,saw the versimilitude of nature, andpronounced the discovery a fossil. Adelegation from Harvard College finallysettled it for the country that JohnIlenry Cardiff was no less than a pre-adamite man, who completely over-threw the Old Testament. Of all thesavans who drew near in awe only oneventured to doubt. 'this was a youngsandy-haired professor from Yale, whopretended to discover straws and bits ofchaff in the dirt, and to see evidencesof recent digging. But he was speedilysuppressed, and science triumphed.
The giant was now weft' on the mar-ket—a fact ofmore interest to Mr. Hullthan even the victory of science. im-mense offers for shares in the concernwere;,made by showmen. The projectorand owner of the giant came on theground to negotiate with them.
The men who bought out the originalshares were Messrs. Wescott, Higgins,and Gillett, of Syracuse, Spencer, ofca, and Hamman of Homer, N. Y. Af-terward, Messrs. Fitch, and Ellis & Co.,bankers, in Syracuse, bought anothereighth at $13,000. The final eighth wasstill owned by the manufacturer, Mr.Hull. He retained4.l4s share till April,1071, when he sold it out in Boston.—When asked how much money lie hadmade out of the enterprise, Mr. Hullreplied that he didn't care to give theprecise figures, " but that he had madeenough so that he wasn't pinched," andadded that he expected a still furth-er addition to his income by thepublication of a book containing thefull history of the affair. Theexpense," said he, "of getting up thething till the final day of planting itatCardiff was just $2 000; what I have re-ceived above that is clear gain." WhenI inquired as to the present where-abouts of the giant, Mr. Hull repliedthat he did notknow just where it wason exhibition now; and, heaving a sighat the agony caused him at parting withhis pet, lie described the last occasionwhen he saw it. This wasatNew Haven,last Spring. His hotel landlord urgedhim to go down town to see the greatestwonder of the age. "And go this morn-ing," said he, "for the profeasors arejustDOW gone down to examine it." So hewent down. The exhibitor, Gotts, es-pied the towering form of the giant'sfather, and pointed him out to a gray-haired professor, who was engaged inexamining John Henry beneath a mi-croscope. "That man made this im-age!" exclaimed the indignant profes-sor: "never, that is • unless he is morethan 1,200 years old I" So it seems thegiant still has his believers.
Grant's Bayonets at. New Orleans
Before the stone reached Chicago.Mr. Hull, going on before it, had con-sulted with Mr. F.'s friend 11—, engagedhim in the place, and rented of him hisbarn. This barn is situated on Clarkstreet, or, fhe north side of the city be-yond Lincoln Park. The stone blockwas taken into the burn at night. It—-also knew of men whowere handy witha stone-chisel. Two of them—both
ennui's—were engaged to apply theirart to John Henry's physiognomy. Thehead worklllllll had done considerableornamental stone-work in Chicago, andperhaps possessed some slight suspicionsof the sculptor's art.. He of coursemust be initiated into the secret, andthat.ef course raised the price of hiswag, s. • He was paid $lO per day,and was a lazy workman at that. Theremarkable genius who had conceivedthe work, after all, was obliged to sup-ply the better part of the handicraft forthe work of sculpture. First, severalclay images were made. Every effortwas put forth to avoid any likeness to astatue. The peculiar position in whichthe giant has been seen by so many vis-itors is the result of this strenuous en-deavor. Finally, a clay image was madesatisfactory to all requirements, and thework of reproducing it in the block ofgypsum ceinmenced. Theliermun heademployee frequently bolted, demandingmore pay, so that Hull himself wasobliged to do a large part of the work.-11111 the statue gradually advanced tow-ard completion. AL the end of threemonths, there stood John Henry,naked, bald, and picturesque. But na-ture herself requires more than a sculp-tor's chisel for her imitation. The verypores of the skin must be represented onJohn Henry's body. Tothis end the fol-lowing device was resorted: A circularpiece of card-board, the size of awatch crystal, was cut out. The handwas pressed on this, leaving prints ofthe skin's pores. Darning needles werepressed through the card-board at thepoints marked by these prints. Thenthe needles were fixed in place. by plas-ter of Paris; and into the plaster ofParis was poured melted lead, thus form-ing a handle. The tool so made was intheta heavy hammer, with theknitting-needle points 'projecting from its face.Then the whole body of the mysteriousgiant was carefully pecked over. Es-pecial care wit/ used to make the marksplain and deep miderJohn Henry's nose,in the place where modern giants weartheir mustaches. Finally, the wholebody had three separate baths of sul-phuric acid, giving it a rusty, dingy ap-pearance, and carrying the date of itsorigin back at least 2000 years
Now, that the giant was finished, camethe hardest work of all—that of gettinghim into market—if we may apply amodern phrase to so ancient a subject.This petrified man weighed 2,900pounds, and even to move it was a greattask; but to move it out of the city andaway in secrecy—there was the rub.But the same indomitable genius tri-umphed here as everywhere previously.The giant was measured, and a mam-moth box of 2-inch plankwas construct-ed for him. The driver who broughtthis box was intensely carious to learnits purpose, and was only half-satisfiedby being told that it was for the convey-ance of marble. Nevertheless he wentoff, leaving the box in front of the barn-door. Late,at :night it was taken intothe' barn', -a 'derrick made, the imageraieed 41.0 'Placed in the huge cdffin ;

They showed how they badbean deceived into believing that whenthey gave up the lands to which they oncehad is nominal title, and took up theirabode upon their present reservation, theywere promised great things; they were tohaves medical ad visor, blacksmith, money,houses, live stock, and other attractions,none of which they ever received. SaidHowl's!' Wampo phdntively. WenapSnoot's house is as If it had been made fora pigsty. Homily's house is the seine. Isee the house in %Mich I. live—lt is made ofmats." Yet these, poor cheated chiefs wereencouraged to leave their wandering lifeand adopt the civilization of the white man,with ample means to be furnished by theGovernment, but which were never forth-coming. No wonder that the Indians ut-terly refused to consider any propositionto give up their reservation, even though,after much high-flown talk, imitated fromthe dialogues of Cooper's novels, the temp-tation took the shape ofan offer for the In-dians to send out a Committee to look up asite for a reservation In Washington Terri-tory, the Umatilla lands to be sold for " thebenefit of the Indians."
Mr. Brunot, speaking for the Govern-ment of the United States, gave the Indiansat this council a statement of the popularfeeling upon the Indian question. "Hesaid: "The great heart of this nation willnot permit the Indians Lo be wronged."—Mr. Brunot is no doubt a very good man,and in a vague, benevolent way may meanwhat he says, but "the great heart of ihisnation" is, on the Indian subject, at anyrate, mom poetical than practical. As ithas permitted Indian wrongs thus far, tosay nothing of sundry other wrongs, we donot feet altogether assured by Mr. Brunot'sconfident draft upon it. Hitherto, in viewof the injustice with which the Indians havebeen treated, it might be doubted whetherthe aborigines or the white men are thereal savages. Let the few remaining redmen be undisturbed in their reservations.The speculators and land-grabbers will nothave to wait long, perhaps, before thewhole race is extinct, such of them, at least,as do not become civilized by accidentallymeeting with humane treatment.
MEDICAL"I supported General Grant solely to
finish up reconstruction by the ratificationof the fifteenth amendment. This done, Iwas done with hits. Nearly my wholeactive life has been devoted to establishingthe antislavery principles now engraftedupon the Constitution. The victory beingwon, I have no taste for scouring the fieldto rifle theslain! The slavery controversyis ended, and the Republicans will findthat they cannot construct a Presidentialplatform out of debris of a demolished re-bellion, nor elevate the negroes into undueprominence on the points of Federal bay-onets."—lL 11.

Singular 3111shap—Illestruetion of n Clr.elks by r ire---ATent and Forty Persons
Through a private letter the MilwaukeeSentinel obtains the following statementsrespecting losses which have befallen Old-er's Circus, at Reedsburg, while it was onits annual tour through the interior ofWisconsin :
Older's show combined a circus, mu-seum and menagerie, and consequently'required a large number of horses tor thetransportation of the wagons and cages.—Of 150 belonging to the institution, forty-one were destroyed by fire. On the con-clusion of their entertainment at Reeds-burg, on Wednesday night, eighty horseswere provided with quarters under threelarge tents on the place of exhibition, eachcontaining, respectively, twenty-live,twen-ty-seven and twenty-eight horses. Aboutthree o'clock in the morning, when nearlyready to start for Baraboo, the canvas-menand drivers went to the hotel for break-fast, leaving no one in charge but a hostlerbelonging to one of the side shows.—Shortly after •their departure the tenton the eastern extreme of the line filledwith straw to the depth of three feetfor bedding purposes, caught fire froma torch, and in a short space of timenineteen horses were roasted to death.Twenty-one were rescued in a dam.aged condition, some with their eyesburnt out, some entirely skinned, andothers with their hoofs so badly burnedthat blood streamed from their feet atevery step. They were removed to thestables of the Mansion House and North-western Hotel, where, after inspection, anumber were put to death. Several of thepoor animals, wild with excitement andpain, strayed off into the country, andwere found three and four miles from thescene of the disaster. The horses belongedmainly to the baggage-wagons, the com-pany losing only,one ring -horse.
"the tire wasa severe blow to Mr. Older,whose loss is estimated at $lO,OOO. Thecompany, though sadly crippled by the un-toward circumstance, will, through theenergy of the proprietor, renew its engage-moms for the season as soon as be can ob-tain a new complement of draught horses.The main tent, containing the menagerie,escaped destruction."Evans Heard Frain—How a Corrnation
The state agent, Mr. George G. Evanswas heard from a few days ago. His fundsrunninglow he wrote to anex-State TreaS-urer,now in this city, for live hundred dol-lars. The ex-Treasurer sent on his check,for the amount by return mail, Thepromptness with which this ex-Treasurer,who is an ardent hepublican,responded tohis friend's appeal for help has led many tosurmise that in the" divy " by Evans theex-treasurer was not overlooked. Thatbismotley has been more advantageously usedthan Evans' is attested by the fact that heis able to go on Evans' bond for fifty:thou-sand dollars, and will do so if Evans Is everbrought to Justice.The failure of Ilartranft and Mackey,the guardians of the finances of the Com-monwealth, to bring Evans to trial willresult in adding thousands of Republicanvotes to General McCandless for Auditor-General, for the reasons, first, they knowhis election will prove a healthful check tosuch gigantic frauds as the Evansrobbery;second, if Stanton is elected Auditor-Gen-eral Evans will never be brought to trial,and before the expirations of Stanton'stertn,the statute of limitation will, as inthe Bunn case, save him. 'Therefore thefriends of Evans, knowing this, are mov-ing heaven and earth to effect theelection of Stanton, and those whoshared with Evans the plunder areusing the funds to corrupt election of-ficers to give a fraudulentcount of the votescast on election-day. tine hundred ReturnInspectors, appointed by the Board of Al-dermen as Democrats, are to be paid onehundred dollars each for making a fraud-ulent return of votes. Each of the pur-chased Inspectors is expected to take offten votes from the Democrhtic count, andput them to the credit of the Republicans.Such anarrangement would take from Gen-eral M'Candless 1,000 votes and give thebenefitof them to his com petitor, Mr. Stan-ton. Tnus, in Philadelphia, he is to befraudulently benefited 2,000 votes, and assuch an arrangement takes but $lO,OOO, oth-er thousands of the $300,000 are to be ap-plied to purchasing votes directly. So yousee the money is to be put to practical use,and is to be used to benefit the masses.

"There seems to be as little hope of unit-ing the party as ever, and the Republicanvoters will still be misrepresented by thehunters of the organization. The old tightof Conkling against Fenton, of the office-holders against those who hold oflice, is asirreconcilable as ever. No principle is in-volved; the efforts of both are confined tothe struggle for patronage and for revenge,and the whole party suffers by the narrowaims of a few active and aspiring men whocare nothing for political principle.—N.Y. Evening Post.
"There is a row in the Republican par-ty in California. The President's brother-in-law there is unable to settle it. Thereis another iow among the Republicans ofWisconsin. The , Federal officeholdersthere are accused of being disturbers of thepeace. The row in Alabama between theFederal office-holders and the rest of theparty Is in full blast. The situation inLouisiana is certainly not happy. Thepresence of United States bayonets at a Re-publican convention does not look healthy.There is a profound feud in Pennsylvania,and Cameron is as helpless as Bode. Thereis a disturbt.nce in Massachusetts. Missou-ri and New York have been thrown away.Haifa dozen Southern Statesare thorough-ly in the power of the Democracy. Andstill feeble-minded persons are telling usthat the Republican party has no alterna-tive but to run the Grant family for all theoffices now in their possession."—Cincin-nati Commercial."Ifthe Republican party does not wish

" The best and most efficacious answer tothe unfounded, unjust amd criminal allega-tions are that George 0. Evans is even nowat Harrisburg trying to settle all claimsthe State may have against him.—Phila.Inquirer.

From the best information I can gather,I believe that the whole affair is inextrica-bly mixed. McClure blames Geary; Gearyblames Mackey ; Mackey blames Brews-ter; Brewster blames Hartratift ; Ear-tranft blaffies Jordan ; Jordan blames Rus-sell; Russell blames Small, and ,Smullblames the dog, and the proper accounta-bility cannot be determined.

Shocking Outrage by NegrocmA despatch from Richmond, Va., to the
New York llcruld, dated 25th instant, saysthat a report received from Greenbriercounty, West Virginia, gives the details ofa shocking outrage which occurred in thet )wriship of Palestine. Itseems that a manin the employ of Mr. Geo. V. Perry had adifficulty with Mr. Lewis F. Watts, inwhich Watts was whipped. Watts thenemployed two negroes and a white man togo to Perry's at night time for the purposeof beating his antagonist. The white manremained in the road and the negroesknocked at the door, and were admitted byMr. Perry, The man they were after step-ped behind the door as it was opened, andthe negroes not seeing him in the room,went up stairs in search of him. As soonas they started up stairs hesprang outandran to the railroad for assistance. The negroes, after searching in vain for him upstairs, came down and fell -upon Mr. Perryand his young son andbeat.them fearfully.
They then seized Mrs. Perry, threw heron the bed, and tied her by the hair to thebed, after whichthey outraged her person.They then attempted to outrage a littlegirl only twelve ears of age, doing herserious injury. rs. Perry, in her. strug-gles to escape, had nearly all her hair pull-ed from her head by the roots, but shefinally succeeded, and fled to a neighbor'sin her night clothes for 'protection. Theman who had gone for. assistance returnedwith others and capturpd the offenders.They then went to -Wall's and arrested Ihim and his son, and•kept them secureuntil the next day. The newsspread rap •idly, and the people flocked in with gunsdetermined on lynching all the guilty par-ties. These, however, were secured in astrongly built house, so that they were notreached, although desperate efforts weremade. They were tied and sent to theMonroe jail, where they remain securelyguarded.
