A NORTHERN DEMOCRAT ON THE
SOLID SOUTH.
[New Orleans Picayune.]
Political tidings from the pivotal
Northern ami Western States are of
the most encouraging character. The
Democratic plan of battle isaggressive,
and the attack is all along the line.
The recent speech of Charles S. May
at Michigan City, Indiana, is a fine
sample of the sort of appeal which is
now daily addressed to the suffragans
of the North and West. Mr. May takes
up the current arguments of the Rad
ical orators and with apparent ease
converts them into counter attacks.
The Republicans have always
claimed that it was their party which
saved the Union, and haye quietly as
sumed that they did so despite the op
position of the Democrats of the North
as well as of the South. To that un
grounded boast Mrf May replies:
Why, fellow citizens, look how the
figures brand this falsehood. In that
same election of 1860. which preceded
the war, Mr. Lincoln (the Republican
candidate) had in round nembers 1,-
800,000 votes, while Mr. Douglas (the
candidate of the Democratic party),
had 1,300,000 votes. Now, I take it
that Mr. Lincoln received all the Re
publican votes, as there was no oilier
Republican candidate, and I suppose
it will not be contended that every
Republican voter went to the war,and
yet the figures show that there were
over 2,000,000 Union soldiers enlisted
in the war—l,ooo,ooo, more than the
whole Republican vote of theeountry !
Now, my Republican friends, will you
tell me where this extra 1,000,000, of
Union soldiers came from? It is
mathematically demonstrated that
they could not have come from the
Republican party, and yet evidently
they had something to do with put
ting down, the rebellion.
You know, fellow-citizens, where
this extra million of soldiers name
from. They camo from the Demo
cratic party.
Mr, Lincoln was elected by a mi
nority vote—lie lacked more than
930,000 votes of a majority. Had the
1,300,000 men who supported Douglas
at the North refused to sustain Mr.
Lincoln in putting down the rebel
lion, where should he have been ?
Tliis was nearly half of the loyal vote
of the country and the South was un
ited against us. No, 1 say, let us be
fair and just. As one who differed
from the Democratic party in those
days, it is only the simple truth to
say that without their help tliis Union
would liave been lost.
The next point which he touches is
the "Solid South” bugbea'. He re
minds the Republicans that the peo
ple of tlieSouth enjoy the right of suf
frage, and that a Southern man is as
little culpable as a Northern man for
voting the Democratic ticket. Al
though the South is solidly Democrat
ic, it is not true that tlie Democraiie
majority, or rather that tlie
major part of tlie Democratic
party is in the South. Mr. May de
monstrates this proposition conclu
sively:
Look again at the figures: Four
years ago, at the last Presidential elec
tion, the Democratic vole was in
round numbers, 1,600,000 in the whole
Mouth, and only 1,088,000 in the rebel
States, while it was 2,600,000 at the
North—a vast preponderance of 1,000,-
000 vote*, ns you sec, in the North.
To hear Republicans talk iu tliis
campaign,you would think that the
whole Democratic strength war at the
South. Rut you say the Democrats
expect to carry the South. So they
do; and they expect, also, to carry a
good part of the North. Do you know
that llieir prospect iB most excellent
for carrying a majority of the elector
al votes of the North ? AH we should
need, to do that, would be the States
of Peunsylvauia ami Ohio,now tremb
ling in a close balance between the
parties. Should you wake up on (he
morning of November 3 and find lliat
Hancock has carried the North, as
well as the South, what then would
you say ?
In regard to the danger of permit
ting the triumph of a party which
would bring Southern men an ex-Con
federates to power, tlie answer is com
plete, and the report is perfect. Mr.
May shows tnat Republicans only ob
ject to placing ex-Con federates in offi
cial positions when they happen to he
Democrats. He says:
Kindred to this talk about a “solid
South” and exceeding it iu effron
tery. is the outcry about “delivering
theeountry over into the hands of
the men who tried to destroy it.” I
said this exceeded the other in effron
tery, because, however senseless and
baseless, that is urged as a simple ai
gument or prosition from plain facts
and figures, hut this, coming from
Republican organs and speakers, is
stamped with such utter inconsistency
and such damnable stultification as
ought almost to blister the tongue that
utters it. I have no patience to argue
with such a pretense as tliis. I can
only denounce it. When we come
his year and present a great Union
soldier for President, a man who lias
risked his life a hundred limes, and
shed his blood to save this Union, and
a loyal Northern man for Vice Presi
dent, we are met by such a cry as this
from a party which for twelve years
has honored conspicuous and blood
stained rebels with some of the highest
offices in the government. It is re
bels, is it, that you mean by ;the “men
who tried to destroy this goverment ?”
Let me tell vou there hasn’t been a
day for twelve years that vou have
not rewarded rebels with office. Grant
took an abscure rebel Colonel, who
tried, in ids small, mean way, to “de
stroy this- government,” fourth-rate
lawyer though he was, and made him
Attorney Oeneral, the law office of the
government which he “tried to de
stroy.'’ Have you forgotten that ? A

rebel Judge presided ever your conven
tion that nominated Grant a second
time, a convention that cheered to the
echo James L. Orr, of South Carolina,
an original fire-eater and secessionist,
whom your administration afterward
sent as ambassador to Russia. Gen.
Longstreet, next to Lee the leading
rebel General, was early rewarded by
y.mr administration with a fat
office, and las only lately been
sent as Minister to Turkey
to represent the government
which lie came so near "destroy
ing.” And do you remember Mosby,
tlie rebel bush-fighter and guerrilla,
who shot our boys down from the
fence corners and thicket—a name
which we used to pronounce in the
war times with objurgation and hor
ror. Well lie too under a Republican
administration represents abroad tlie
country which he “trie,! to destro.V’
Don’t you feel proud of him”? And
there is tlie late Postmaster General
under Hayes, the rebel Col. Key, who
“tried to destroy" the government,
for superintending whose mail bags lie
was after wards paid SB,OOO a year by
the Republican administration. How
does that look to you Bat you tell
me these men have joined tlie Repub
lican party. Does, that then atone
for their treason to their country and
its flug? Do you wish to bo under
stood to say that a United States ur.
my officer who at (lie beginning of
the rebellion, deserted the ills cam
maud and his colors and went into
the rebel army and fought us for
four years unto tlie bloody death,can
square bis account with the govern
ment by joining tlie Republican par
ty and takiug a lucrative office under
it? And is lie any better for li is dou
bledesertion than tlie- rebel officer who
laid down his sword and returned lo
ills allegiance at the close of the war
but concluded to vote the Democratic
ticket ?
In conclusion lie arraigns the Re
publican party as a war party in time
of peace. It is (he Democratic party
which is the anti sectional party the
national party. The Mouth came to
Cincinnati with tlie olive branch.
For this reason it supported tlie no in
itiation o£ Hancock.
If the people of tlie North are
thoughtful and wise tney will accept
this preferred token of loyalty and
good will and make the hero who was
a lion on the heights of Gettysburg
the President whose mild and just
rule shall usher iu a lasting era of
peace and fraternity between once con
tending sections.
Tlie Soutli wants peace and good
will Mho is building up (In wvstc

new career of enterprise and business
prosperity. Tlie North Wants ,South

with these war cries; down with these
slanders and this sectional hate, down
with the party which engenders these

injthe memories of fraternal bloodshed,
and which would poison anew gener
ation with the hatreds and animosi
ties oftheir fathers. There' is danger in
ail tliis to the future peace to the coun

cessors of the Blaines and the Chan
dler, the I ryes and the Hales continue

American people afford to keep a par
ty in power which thus threatens tlie
union with future convulsions.
Democrats of Indiana in this great
battle for national peace, you hold the
centre of the line. I pray you to
stand firm for the right—firm as did
our glorious leader at Gettysburg.
Here will be tlie thickest of the fight—
here you will receive tlie mighty
shock of tlie enemy’s grandest assault.
All around you his forces are now
massing for tlie charge. Close up the
ranks, stand to your guns, do your
duty like men and patriots and you
shall send the broken legions of tlie
foe flying in wreck and despair from
tliis great central battlefield of tlie
campaign. God grant that when
the sun shall go down on that coming
October day you may have won here
a victory which shall thrill tlie land
from end to end, and cause the anx

pressor Is broken and the public may
live and he immortal.
CAPITAL PUNISHMENT.
The punishment of death, as the
penalty for murder, lias prevailed
from the earliest times in all parts of
the world. In most nations treason
or rebellion against lawful government
lias also thus been punished; and in
England and elsewhere, down to a
very recent period, the same has been
true of counterfeiting, forgery, mail
robbery, and several other crimes. In
some of tlie Southern States at the
present time burglary is punishable by
hanging. Tlie manner of execution
varies greatly. Military criminals In
modern times are usually shot. Iu
civil administrations the modes most
prevalent have been decapiti.tion u|>on
the‘block,’ used for political criminals
of rank iu England; the guillotine in
France; in Spanish countries the gar
rote; but in most countries now,hang
ing. In Japan for some offenses, the
criminal is condemned to take his
life in the presence of officials. In
China decapitation is the usual form
of death for criminals, unless the
crime is of the worst chaiactcr, when
the felon is pinioned to a cross and
cut into pieces, by removing first the
eyelids, then the lips, nose, cheeks,
arms, legs, and otterwards disembow
eling and quartering.
WASHINGTON, GA., FRIDAY, OCTOBER 8, 1880.
KILLED BY AX ELEPHANT.
John Robinsons circus exhibited to a
large crowd in Concord, N. ('., on
Monday eveuiug,and not awaiting to
give a night performance, loaded up
ils cars and started for Charlotte,
where it arrival at 8 o’clock the same
nighf. The usual crowd of spectators
were present to see the arrival of the
show trains. Just after John King,
the keeper of the elephants, had got
ten the old male elephant, “Chief,”
out of his car, he went to tlie animal’s
head for (lie purpose of turning him
around. The attention of the crowd
was attracted by tho rather excited
voice of King, and the next moment
they saw the enraged animal turn
upon his keeper and crush him against
the car. Mr. King sank to the ground
with an groan, and the men who
were with him fled precipitately. The
crowd also scattered, and the wildest
confusion followed. Tlie men were
afraid to approach (he elephant, and
tlie wounded keeper was allowed to
remain for several minutes on the
ground, where he had fallen. The el
ephant surveyed the scene for an in
stant, and giving a shrill, sharp snort
started up the railroad track. As soon
as lie was out of the way, King was
taken up and carried to an adjoining
house, and physicians summoned.
11l tlie meantime tlie elephant kept
up the track, creating consternation
all along his route. On account of tlie
darkness it was almost impossible (or
his pursuers to keep track of him or
to determine li is whereabouts, lie
fore a party iliai was hastily organ
ized for the purpose of shooting him
could act, some of tlie circus attaches
were after him, taking with them
‘Mary,’the female elephant, and die
‘Boy,’ another docile elephant. After
a slight chase he was overtaken, (lie
other two elephants driven up c'ose to
him, and with some difficulty secured
by being chained to die other two ele
phants. The animals moved along
quietly until they came to u pump,
when a determined effort of ‘Chief’
compelled die procession to halt long
enough for him to get a drink of wa
ter. In the movements about tlie
pump the cliaius became entangled,
and the throe began to move round
and round, drawing them gradually
together. Tlie old elephant’s temper
was lignin aroused, and lie began to
bellow. At tliis the crowd became
again panic stricken, and beat a con
fused retreat. Finally, by the vigor
ous use of goads and pitchforks die
three elephants were made to take
their respective places and moved on
towards the tents,where they arrived
and were securely fastened.
King, the keeper, lingered ur til 11
o’clock that night, when he died and
was hurled yesterday afternoon, after
tlie circus performances were over.
He was the keeper of the animals for
several years, and was never afraid of
them. The big elephant was his pet
and lie could do no more with him
than any one else. It is said that if
‘Mary’ had been present ‘Chief’ would
riot have become obstreperous, as she
would have knocked liim down, as
she always does when lie gets mad.
‘Mary and the‘Boy’ areas genlle as
lambs and arc perfectly harmless.
John Lowlow, tlie clown, said they
have several other men iu tho show
who could take care of him. Lowlow
said lie was satisfied that the elephant
didn’t know it was King when made
at him, as tlie keeper had absolute
control of him. Another report says
tlie elephant was to have been shot
yesterday. Several years ago tlie same
then in Ames’ show when performing
in Atlanta got into one of his mad fits
and dashing out of the ring, tore down
the seats and put tlie spectators to
flight.
TWO YOUNG LADIES “FUDDLED.''
Tlie temptations ant! allurements
which encompass the youth of this
city, and the pitfal’s which yawn at
their feet found apt exemplification a
few nights ago, in (lie case of two
young ladies who move in tlie highest
walks of life, and who are members of
distinguished and aristocratic families
residing on Benefit street. The young
ladies’ names are suppressed for ob
vious reasons. They were found
about I! p. m. staggering through
the street in a gross state of intoxica
tion, and their elegant attire and cost
ly jewels commanding the attention
of the passers by. The girls had a
ense of their shameless condition,and
finding that they were unable to nav
igate any great distance farther, they
accosted a gentleman and asked him
to show them where they could se
cure a coach.
Tlie gentleman escorted them to the
neighborhood of the depot, where tlie
girls were safely lodged in a coach and
driven homeward. The story of their
escapade was learned from their own
lips, and in a maudlin way they told
of the night. They had been out for a
stroll on Benefit street, and bad en
countered two young collegians who
were acquaintances. Upon solicita
tion they accompanied tlie young
sports for a walk and refreshments be
ing suggested, tlie young fellows, who
were full of rascality, took the girls to
a noted dive on Fountain street. Here
wine was partaken of inquantities
which soon scattered tlie brains and
tne equilibrium of the girls, and when
the ladr saw that they were so badly
fuddled they separated. . Tlie girls
came out upon the streetgrosly drunk,
and were wandering about, unable to
tell where they were going when they
accosted the gentleman, who aided
them to a coach. Bucii a sight is sel
dom witnessed here.— Provident:e ( It.

AN ADROIT SWORDSMAN.
Pulaski, ns is well known, was as
adroit a swordsman as lie was perfect
in horsemanship, and lie ever rode a
powerful and fleet charger- During
tlie retreat of flic American army
through New Jersey, in (lie darkest
liourofour national adversity, Pulas
ki was with a smail|party’of horsemen,
pursued by a small party of British
cavalry the leader of which was as
good a horseman, and mounted nearly
as well as Pulaski. Pulaski rode in
the reir of bis detachment, and tlie
British captain came In advance of
those he commanded. The morning
sun was shining brightly, and, us the
pursued party entered a long narrow
lane, Pulaski, haring satisfied him
self of the superior speed and com
mand of his horse over that of bis pur
suer slackened his pace and kept his
h "sc to the side of the lane farthest
from the sun. The pursuing officer
came up in hot haste, his sword ele
vated so as to make the decisive cut
upon Pulaski as soon as lie could
resell him. Pulaski rode as though lie
heard not Hie advance upon him—
yet lie kept iris eyes fixed wearily
upon the ground on (lie side of his
horse toward Hie ‘sun on Hie right.
As soon as lie saw tne shadow of his
pursuer’s horse gain upon him, and
found lliat the horse’s
head, by tho shadow had
gained about half Hie length of
his own horses body, lie gave tlie sud -
den sword out of Bt. George, with Ills
powerful arm, and saw the decpitaled
head of tho English officer follow the
stroke. His mathematical eye had
measured I lie distance by the position
of (lie shadow so accurately, and his
position giving a long back reach to
his right arm, while tlie cross stroke
of his pursuer must have been made
at a much shorter distance to have ta
ken effect, that the pursuing officer
lost his head before be suspected Hint
bis proximity was known, or lliat a
blow was meditated.
THE “DEVILS 111111,1'."
The biggest book in Hie world,
known as the “Devil’s Bible” is to be
found in Hie royal library of Sweden
at Stockholm, which it is said, con
tains altogether, over 70,000 volumes.
Of this Bible, frequently denominated
“Asses’ Book,” because of being writ
ton on asses’ ski ns,a correspondent re
cently visiting tlie royal library says:
“I was shown (he biggest book in tlie
world, Hie wonderful and gigantic
“Asses’Book,” not so called for tho
same reason that the Pom Aeinorum
gets Its title, but because It is written
on 300 Asses’ skins which look like
thick, heavy parchment, while the
binding is of oaken boards covered
with vellum, and the clasps are great
masses of Ironmongery, and its weight
[8 such that four men can scarcely car
ry it. It contains the Old and Now
Testaments, tne Apocrypha, and a
sort f encyclopedia of then existing
knowledge, and is profuse in gilding
and coloring, green and red being the
predominant colors. It was found in a
convent in Prague, when tlie city was
lalien and sacked by the Swedes dur
ing Hie thirty years’ war, and is com
monly called Hie “Devil's Binle.”
Tho story runs Hint a monk con
detned to deatli for violation of his
vows, obtained promise of pardon on
tho supposed impossible condition,
that lie should transcribe the Bible dur
ing the night before ilia execution;
which be accomplished with diaboli
cal aid,at the usual price;Satan throw
ing in tho Apocrypha and cncyclopic -
dia, to show what lie could do when
lie tried. A loatliy portrait of his dia
bolical inspirer or transcriber, hoofs,
horns claws, eye-balls and nil, is on
tlie back page; the monk might have
made him prettier out of simple grati
tude.
A IMI’EB STOVE.
Perhaps the most remar kabte object
ever fashioned from paper was a lire
stove with a fire burning in it. We
have from time to time nated Hie an
nouncements of newly invented rail
way carriages and carriage wheels
chimney pots, flour barrels, cottage
walls, roofing tiles, and brick and tiles
for stamping all made of paper. A ma
terial cat able of so many uses, so de
versifled in character,is obviously des
stiried to play a very important part
in our manufacturing future. Articles
of this kind which have just now per
haps the greatest interest and which
arc among (he latest novelties iu this
way, are paper‘blankets.’ Attention
has frequently been called lo the value
of ordinary sheets of paper as a sub
stitute for lied clothes, or at least, as
an addition to bed clothes. Tlie idea
seems to liave suggested tlie fubriflen
tion of‘blankets’from his Cheap ma -
eriai. The fact that they are not as
durable as tlie genuine article is In
their favor, as, in the case of .tlie very
poor, where tlie same bedding is used
f- r years, a very cheap material that
will last only a comparatively short
lime must be better than durable ar
ticles that are rarely or never washed.
According to a Virginia newspa
per, the great Dismal Swamp is by no
means a dismal place, but rather
a charming aud healthful retreat. It
is not a low bog, sunk into tlie ground
but on the con trary, is by actual sur
vey, fifteen or twenty feet above tlie
level ground. It is an immense re
seryior that, in its vast spongelike
bulk—gathers the waters that fall,and
pours them into five different rivers.
The swamp is entirely of green tim
ber. Trees which fall instead of rot
ting turn into peat. There is nothing
to create miasma;all is fresh andsweel.
The air is pure,and the water tinctured
with juniper is a potent medical
drink. Formerly tlie planters sent
their slaves into the swamp to work
on account of Its liealtlifulness.
WHY THE LAW IS UNCERTAIN.
Language ban Instrument for tlie
expression of ideas. Not a fev of its
forms are ambiguous; that is, they
speak in two ways. Reader and hear
er are left in old Isaac's perplexity.
The voice is that of Jacflb, tlie hand is
that of Esau.
Many of tlie terms of language are
equivocal. They have tv, o meanings,
so that the reader is in and nibt as to tlie
mind or intention of the writer.
Those who draft statutes know bow
difficult it is to frame a law which
shall be free from ambiguous expres
sions or equivocal terms. Judge Slo
ryotiee told a personal incident,which
illustrates tliis difficulty.
He was employed by Oougress to
draft au act. Bo Important was it
that he spent six months in trying to
perfect the phraseology, llis purpose
waste make the statute so clear that
the most astute lawyer should not bo
able to east tlie shadow of a doubt
upon its me aning.
The draft proving satisfactory to the
lawyers in Congress, became a law.
In less than a year, a suit, involving
tlie interpretation of this very law,
came before the court over which Jus
tice Story presided. Having heard tlie
arguments of the able attorneys, the
Judge confessed that lie was made un
able to decide upon she meaning of a
etatuto which he himself had fr uued.
He of course, knew what he had
meant to put into the law. But, the
criticisms of tlie two lawyers slnnved
him that lie had used such ambiguous
expressions that It was doubtful if lie
had stud what lie meant to have
said.
A TOUCHING INCIDENT.
Mr. Thomas VV. (lean the carrier
of the mail between Athens and \Vat
kiusville, informs us Hint yesterday
morning while in Walkinsvillu, he

Chained.
Being asked his reason, he said be
hud been bitten by a mad dog, and for
fear that lie would himself be attacked
with hydrophobia, and bite someone
else, lie desired to be incarcerated and
chained. The sheriff' complied, and
chained him. Tlie poor fellow is now in
durance, awaiting in all probabllty,
tlie most horrible death that can be
fall a man. Tliis man is Thomas
Akins, who was bitten by the dog
which Mr Thomas Jonas killed—au

A REMARK ABLE MARRIAGE.
The Butler (Ua.j Ilcrald gives an
account of a most peculiar mar
riage It says: “Tlie most un
expected (and we might state ro
mantic) marriage that lias ever occur
red in Taylor county,took place at tlie
residence of Mrs. Bartlett, on last
Friday night. By (lie Rev. J. G.
Murray, Mr. John Children's, twenty
throe years of age, to Mrs. Bartlett,
fifty-nine years of age, wife of tlie late
James Bartlett, whose deatli occurred
about three months ago. Mr. t'hil
drews is a poor but worthy young
man, who lias for several years past
been an employe of Mr. Bartlett. Mrs.
Bartlett, being a lady of considerable
wealth, lias agreed to thoroughly edu
cate her husband, aud lie is now in
attendance at tho Butler Female Col
iege and Male Institute.”
Lord Beacon field never passes a fa
vor unnoticed, never forgets a friend,
and considers no man his enemy, save
Mr. Gladstone and Mr. Lowe. lie
knows that majorities are made up
of units, mid that a unit abstracted
from tlie opposition benches counts
two in a division. Thus when in tho
House of Commons if his watchful eve
observed wavering on the part of an
individual on the opposite, lie some
how or other,before twenty-four hours
passed managed to come in personal
contact with tlie waverer. The rough
est member knows the sound of the
friendly voice and tlie toucli of tlie
soft hand. There is a good deal of
human nature in the House of Com
mons, and human nature prefers
Disraeli’s manners to Gladstone’s.
