LONG TALK
While Lieutenant-Govenor Dor-1
shciiner was speaking, a gentleman
bad arrived whose name was not upon
the programme, and who entered the
hall without being recognized save
bv a few on the platform. When
Mr. Quincy had finished reading the
letters of regret, Mr. Schell advanced,
and after apologizing for the absence
of John T. Morgan, of Alabama, in
troduced the Hon- Benjamin H. Hill,
of Georgia. As Mr. Hill advanced to
the front of the platform, the enthusi
asm was of the wildest character.
Many in the audience stood upon the
seats and all waved their hats and
handkerchiefs. The cheers which re
sounded through the hall were deafen
ing. Mr. Hill bowed, and bowed
again; bis «moothly*shaveil face,
naturally pale, grewkj«ler, his lips
tremblfd, and at Iasi his bine eves
were seen to glisten as if a tear had
had gathered in each. When the
applause, which la«ted several minu
tea, had ended, Mr. Hill spoke as
follows:
Fellow Citizens In my opinion
the greatest epoch in all the struggles
for human liberty was that which cul
minated in the declaration of indepen
dence cne hundred and three years
a<*o to-day. In my opinion the
second greatest epoch in the history
of the struggles for human liberty will
adjudged by th$ future (of this coun
try to have occured during tho extra
session of congress just closed [Ap
plause.'l Why was that epoch of 1778
so great? After all else is said, the
truth lies in one sentence: Because
it was then that our fathers a Averted,
in tones that have been rtng'ng
through the world from that day to
this, that the people of this country
were able to govern thenselves.
[Great applause-] For precisely the
same reason, my courtrymeu, the
extn session of congress was equally
great or second in importance.
The great principle avowed and es
tablished in lt?6 has becom endan
gered—endangered to an extent that
the people of this country do not per
haps fully realize. For eighteen years,
for causes which I will not review,
we have been talking about war, we
have been using force, we have been
employing arms, we have almost for
gotten those maxims of peace in which
we have been educated. It was time,
high time, that the attention of the
country should be called back from
the maxims of force to the teachings
of pence once more. [Applause.]
Now I will not say Myth there is
but oh issue in American 1 polities,
but I will say that the first and the

elections?” The democratic party
affirms that the people of this country
are capable of self-government. The
republican jarty affirms that the peo
ple of this country are not capable of
self-government [Hisses and cheers.]
We have the issue with them on that
question and we go before the peo
ple in order that they may determine
whether the peopleare capable of self-
goverment. The deirocratie party
says that the states of this union are
entirely capable of . holding and con
ducting their own elections. The re
publican party says theyare not, and
it especially says that your people _ in
New York are not capable of holding
elections unless under the supervision
of Lord Davenport, and I don’t know
who be is. [Laughter and applause.]
On that issue also we go before the
people for I hem to determine.
Now, my fellow-citizens, these
words are not hastily spoken. In
1865 a republican congress placed
upon the statute books of the country
a law l>y which the army was to be
used to keep the peace at the polls.
You had just come out of a war, and
in the various irregularities of those
times they said that this was necessa
ry as a war measure. It has continued
upon thestatute books si nee. During
the trying hours of the XLYth con
gress when the democratic party
had a majority in only one branch,
we suggested that this war measure
might safely be repealed, maintained
that the president should not have
the authority to use the army to keep
the peace at the polls. The lepubli*
cans refused to agree to the repeal.
And now my friends, will you ans.ver
me one question? If the republi
can party is not in favor of the doc-
triue of governing the peopleby lorce;
it it does not deny the proposition
that the people are capable of self-
government, why is it that it insists
that a law passed as a war measure
sh ill remain permanently upon your
statute books, to authorize the use of
the army in elections? For eighty
years alter the formation of our gov
ernment such a thing as federal inter,
ference at elections was never heard
of. Your fathers and your grand
fathers never heard of a debuty mar
shal to control election* anil arrest
citizens. This law is most elastic in
its character and almost infinite reach;
for there is no limit to the number
that may be appointed on election
day for the purpose of controlling
elections; and the law provides that
they shall be paid out of the federal
treasury. In point of fact, under that
laW the republican pa'rty has simply
made the public treasury a campaign
fund for the election of republican
candidates to congress and other
places. [Applause.]
As the democratic parly wa* coming
into 1 *ower we proposed that that law,
which was never on your statute
book until seventy or eighty years
after the fonnatiou of the govern
ment, should be repealed ; ami that
people of Lite several states should
be allowed to the control their own
elections, just as they had always
done from the foundation ot the gov
ernment, through war and thiough
peace. The repulican party said not.
Now, upon these two issues, with one
other whch we settled by repealing,
what is known as tho jury law and
test oath, with which you have no
concern, because it never applied
here with any force—upon these two
grand questions the parties in congress
at the late session joined Issue.
Many false impressions have beei
made as to the character of those
issues, for our republican friends,
while always carrying out their mea
sures of force, have professed to be in
favor of liberty. You must judge
men and parties by their actions.
Answer me this question. If the re
publican party is not in favor of co 1-
trolling the elections by federal in'er-
ference, why does it insist upon c m-
tiouing a law upon the statute book
to that affect, and the expenses of
enforcing which shall be paid out of
the common treasury of the country ?
If the leaders do not intend to use it,
why continue it upon the statue book?
If the people did not need it for the
past eighty years of the government,
pray tell me why they need it now ?
You know better than I do, for this
remarkable fact was freely expressed
during the sesion, that of all the
states of the union, that one most
necessary to be controlled in this way
was the state of Now York. [Ap
plause and hisses.] And one of the
most touching pictures I have ever
seen drawn in congress was on the oc
casion when your “great” senator—
the republican senator—from this
state absolutely said that the repeal of
the law authorized the employment of
debuty marshals to control elections
would be a declaration t<> the slums
and shoulder-hitters, and I don't know
who all—it was held general from the
battery to somewhere else. I cannot
tell where it was a declaration to all
these people that they could do just
as they pleased on that election day,
and would not be interfered with by a
national soldier or federal deputy
marshal. Havn’t you done U for
eighty years without being interfered
with by natioual soldiers ? I would
say now, as I said then, that if the
state of Few York is either unable or
unwilling to manage her own elections,
you ought to call upon Rhode Islam I
to help you. [Laughter.]
It has been said that the demo
cratic party, though tlie lead of the
southern democrats, proposed to stop
a number of our republican friends
said if we would bring forward the
proposition to repeal the law author
izing the use of the army as a separate
measure a great many would vote for
it. We tested them. We did bring
fnHaRrd that measure in a separate
bill and every republican voted against
it, and the president vetoed it. ’ Bo in
like manner in relation to the elec
tion laws. We took np the army bill
and distinctly appropriated for the
support of the army, and distinctly
declared that not one cent of the mon
ey should be used to employ the
army in keeping peace nt the polls.
The result of that struggle between
the two parties, the republican mi
nority in the two hou.-es on the one
i hand and the president on the other,
' is that the law is not repealed, but
for the next twelve months the army
cannot be used to keep the peace at
the polls. [Applause.]

People ask. What have you ac

more for the liberties of the people
than has ever been accomplished in

[Applause.] We have sorved upon
the republican party a new notice
that this is a free government, and
that people are not to bo governed in
times ot peace by standing armies;
that this is a country in which the
states are able to manage their own
elections, and that they shall not lie
controlled in their management by
deputy marshals of infinite number
appointed at Washington City. [Ap
plause ]
We have a new era, as I believe,
born in the last fow months, to per
petuate the liberties won 103 vears
ago by the thirteen flags. {^Ap
plause.] If you would preserve the
liberties you have inherited from your
fathers, l charge you preserve jo its
purity the form of government which
your fathers instituted and gave you.
We hear on every hand whispers that
the tiinu has coine when wo must
have a stror.g government. If the
people are ugt capable ut governing
themselves, who shall govern them ?
Of course the whole world answers.
It results finally in a monarchy with
a standing army.”
The agencies which aye seducing
the people from their fidelity to the
principles of our forefathers are many
and powerful. Protection against
these agencies is through the people
The easiest time to coi rect the dan
ger is when it is first discovered. If
you will be trne to yonrselves, you
will preserve your liberties. If yon
trifle with yourselves you will lose
your liberties. If you continue in
power in times of peace a party which
owes its success to war, you wreck
your liberties. Ton must get away
from the dominations of a party that
was born in strife, I tell you, my coun
trymen, if yon would bequeath to
your children those glorious and in
estimable liberties which your lathers
gave yon, the time has come when all
over this country, from Maine to
Californio, and from (the lakes to the
golf, the people Jmust assemble and
pledge to each other anew “their

honors” in defense of that govern

tall, black-liaired, black eyed, matron-
looking .woman was flitting nervously
about the depot of the New York,
Lake Erie and Western railroad about
noon to-day. She inquired what
time the next train loft tor Sliawan-
gimk. It was about l o’clock, and
when told that there would lie no
train before 3:30 p. in., she exclaimed
in piteous tones “Oh, dear me! he’ll
dje before I get homo. Qb, dear |“
She said that she was the wife ot a
farmer named Cosgrove, who lived on
the lack sloj e of the Siiawangunk
mountains, and the mother of five
children. She had been in the city
f >ur days visiting ft sjchoalmqte. This
morning she received a letter beseech
ing her to return home as quickly
as possible, as her husband was in a
tery dangerous condition, he having
been bitten Iby ft rattleanftke while
ploughing mm. It was written by
their oldest child, a daughter.
It seems that Mr. Cosgrove had
been at work the previous morning
ploughing com on a side hill. The
com was doing badly on account of
the cool weather, and the farmer be
came so unions about hig crop that
he had to pay particular attention to
it. He had ploughed the field well
over before 10 o’clock, and it was
about that time that, approaching the
southeast comer of the field where
lay a large pile of stones, be upturned
ft large flftt one. Beneath it wfts a
big rattlesnake, which, on being thns
disturbed, gave a hissing noise and
jumped for the farmer. Then, fol
lowed a* desperate encounter, which
lasted nt least fifteen minntes. The
snake first struck Mr. Cosgrove a
little above the left, hip, making ft
serjous wound. His only weapons *f
defense wero the stone's, a piece of
rail fence,' and'' his : jackkuite. . Mr,
Cosgrove’s first impulse' was to grab
the stick, which lie did, and; broke it
over the reptile’s head. Then he took
up a boulder and with this he kept
the snake at bay for a time. This
gave him an opportunity to thrust
one hand into his pocket for his jack
knife. The reptile struck at hini sev
eral times, bat did not succeed in
biting him again. Mr. Cosgrove
used his jackknife to advantage. The
snake wound itself around Mr. Co—
grove’s legs, bqt left hit ayms free,
and he soon finished the re'|>ti!e by
culling ol its head.

daughter, “arid thought he {would

Chronicle: The greatest event which
lias taken place in Bonanza City,
Nevada, since the town was born was
the flight on Saturday last between a
scorpion and a tarantula. An eye
witness of the affair aud an enthusi
astic admirer of suoh important con
test gqve the following description of
the great struggle to a Chronicle re
porter yesterday; “I’ve seen a good
many fights ainoe I struck this section
of the country, but vestarday’s layout
was the boss. For’ fun and excite
ment it cqnaled, in my opinion, the
big prize-fight down the cayon that
Tom Daily took a hand in years ago.
The ring was broken up and every
teller with tv sixshooter pulled and
turned loose on every-thing in sight.
We put the two varmints into a wash
bowl, and when they both slid down
to the bottom they 1 ad to fight and
no mistake There was a little flat
place in the bottom of tho bowl
where they ’could stand about four
inches ftpart. Well, as soon as they
were put in they stepped back a few
paces and began to pipe each other
off. The tarantula seeing the scor
pion, just reared up on its hind legs and
shook his fist at him with all his hair
on end. Now, there is moro ot the
so]i<l qulntescence of hell in a taran
tula to the square eight of an inch
than anything on earth, and when I
saw the critter rear up and gi.\e the
scorp the diff, l laid down five twenty
dollfti’-pieoe* on him and a tall
feller coverol ,cni in a minute. I
knowed I had that money dead. The
scorp didn’t seem like he wanted any
of the pie at first, but alter a spe’l of
thinkin’ he sorter shook himself out
and got ready for business. The first
thing we knowed, biff! went the ’tula
plum into the scorp, and then the fun
began. The spider grabbed him by
the Lack of the neck and we
a’posed for a while he was goin’ to
c iaw his head right off. His teeth—
teeth is what I said—Come out of his
mouth for a quarter of an inch, and
grated like a buzz saw, and I began
to feel sorry for the otner feller I bet
with’ I wouldn’t been in the linin’ o’
that scarp’s boots for the Sierra Ne
vada mine. All of a sudden however,
tlie scorp braced himtolf, and wbftck '
went his tail in the ’tula. I tell you,
the spider lot go too quick and went
tnmhlin’ across the bowl like a mule
had kicked him. I thought he was
gone, biit you bet he was on deck
quick enough, and he came to the
scratch agin’ with blood in his eye.
Then come the big bout of the whole
business. Both of ’em sparred
around a spell for an opening. The
spider was workiu’ his left nasty
lor a biff at the scorp’s ear, but when
ever he let loose the other threw up
his claw and countered on his stom-
i.ehe, just like Hillinan and Lynn for
all the world. The spider saw there
was no chromoa for him in a stand up
fight and so he jumped in rough-and-
tumble. It would make your blood
run cold to see the way them tellers
cltftwled and clawed each other for
five minutes, and the crowd round the
bowl clean crazy, with excitement,
threw up another hundred on the
spider, for I could sec he had the
durndest grip on the scorpion that
ever was. Why, he had his head in
chancery in nino places and about
sixteen grapevine locks on his legs.
They wrestled all the styles ever
beared of—Cornish, Lancashier,
Urieco-Roman and collar-and-elbow.
It was a regular tournament rolled
Into one. The ’tula had the grip he
had been homin’ for some time. All
of a sudden, just as I was reacliin’
down in my pocket for another hundred
dollars to plank up on the spider, the
scorp switched his tail round aud
slammed it into the spider’s belly
about a quarter of an mob, held ft
there awhile and then began to turn
it round, like he was borin" a diamond
drill irito a quarts ledge. The spider
Mle around the gills and looked like
te wanted a doctor, and I quietly let
that one hundred dollars slide back
where it belonged. Then the spider
let go fourteen undex-holds and laid
down like he wanted a rest. He rested
lor about a minute or so, like a little
piece of. wool shrivlcd up, and the
soorp strnted round and round, like a
drum major on a dress parade. The
bets were ten to one on the soorp and
no takers. All of a sudden up jumps
the spider aud goes for him again.
It appeared to to me like the beast had
only just made up his mind to figkr,
and the way he went for the seorp
was like a thousand o’ bricks tumblin’
into a child. When I saw him grit
down fairly to work I bet the third
hundred and felt somehow like when
he beared me chink the coin it would
give him a little moral baokio’. You
oould hear the scarp’s shell crack
like a sohoolbor chawin’ peanuts at ji
church fair. The spider had all its
pwn way: for a spell and was gittin’
his work in fine when the pesky

Love is tee only tli ng in which the
heights of extravagance is ihc last
degree of economy. [AppLusc.] It
is the only thing I tell you. Joy is
wealth. Love is the legal tender of
the soul—[laughter]—and you need
not to be rich to be happy. We
have all been raised on success in
this country. Always been talked
with about being successful and have
never thought ourselves very rich ui •
less we are the possessors of some
magn : ficent mansion and unless our
riames have been between the putrid
lips of rumor, we could not be happy.
Every little baby is striving to be this
and be that I tell you the happy
man is the successful man. .The man
who has won the love of one good
woman is a successful man. The man
that has been the emperor cf one
good heart, and that heart embrace-
all his has been a success. [App’au-e.]
If auother has. been the emperor of
tho round world and has never
loved and been laved his life is a fail
ure.
It won’t do. Let us teach our
children the other way, that the h:t|»s
py man is the successful man, and he
who is a happy man is the one who
always tries to make some one else
happy. [Applause.] The man who
marries a woman to make her happy ;
that marries her as much for her own
sako as for his own; not the ,mnn that
thinks his wife is his property, who
thinks that the title to her belongs
to him—that the woman is the prop
erty of the man; wretches who get
mad at their wives and then shoot
them down in tho street, because they
think the woman is their property.
[Loud applause.] I tell you it is not
necessary to bo rich and great and
powerful" to bo happy. A little a^o I
stood by the grave of the old Napo
leon—a magnificent tomb ot gilt .and
gold, fit almost for a dead deity—and
gazed upon the sarcopii igns ot black
Egyptian marble, where rests at last
the ashes of the restless man. I leaned
over the balustrade and thought
about the career of the greatest so'dior
of tho modem world. I saw him
walking on tho banks of the Seine,
contemplating suicide. I saw him nt
Toulon; I saw him putting down tho
mob in tho streets of Paris—I saw
him at tho head of the army of Italy—
I saw him crossing the bridge of Lodi
with the tri-eolor in his hand—I saw
him in Egypt in the shadow of the
pyramids—I saw him conquer the
Alps and mingle the eagles ot Franco
with the eagles of the crags—I saw
him at Marengo—at Ulm and Aus-
terlitz—I saw him iu Russia, the in
fantry of the snow and the cavalry of
the wild blast scattered his legion*
like winter’s withered leaves—I saw
him at Leipsic in defeat ami disaster
driven l>y a million of bayouets hack
upon Paris, clutched like a wild beast
and banished to Elba—l saw him
upon the frightful field of Waterloo,
where chance and fate c unbilled to
wreck the fortunes of their
former king—and I saw him at St.
Helena, with his hands orossed behind
him, gazing out upon tho sad and sol
emn sea,
I thought of tho orphans aud wid
ows he had mado—of the tears that
had been shed for his glory, and of the
only wo nan who ever loved him,
pushed from his heart by the cold hand
of ambition. And I said I would
rather have been a French peasant,
and worn wooden shoes. 1 would
rather have lived in a hut, with a vine
growing over tho door, and the grapes
growing purple in the kisses ot the
autumn sun. I would rather have
been that poor peasant, with my
loving wife by my side, knitting as
the day died out of the sky, with my
children opon my knee9 and their
arms about me. I would rather have
been that man, and gone down to the
tonguelos* silence of the dreamless
dost, than to have been the Imperial
impersonation of force and murder,
known as Napoleon the Great.
[Loud and renewed applause.]
It is not necssary to be rich in oi*.
der to be happy. It is only necesary
to be in love. [Laughter and ap
plause] Thousands of men go to
college and get a certificate that they
have an education, and that certifi
cate is in Latin, and they stop study
ing, and in two years to save their
file they couldn't read tho certificate
they got. [Laughter.]
It is mostly so in marrvng. They
stop courting when they get married.
They think we have won her and that
is enough. Ah! tho difference before
and after. How well they looked!
How bright their eyes! How light
their steps and how full they were of
generosity. I tell you a man should
consider himself in good luck if n
woiiiau love* him when ’lie is doing
his level best. [Applause.] Good
luck 1 G wd luck!—Bob Ingeusoll.
One of the school board, going his
rounds as an airaleur, put the fol
lowing question to a scholar in a
country school: “How do you parse,
‘Mary milked the cow?’” The last
word was disposed of as follows:
“Cow is a noun, feminine gender,
singular number, third person, ami
stands for Mary.’’ “Stands for Mary!’’
exclaimed he of the board; “bow do
yon make that out?’’ “Because,”
added the intelligent pupil, “if the
cow didn’t stand for Mary how could
Mary milk her?’’
Probably the oldest timber in the
