TH-] WESTERN ELEPHANT BECOMING
DANGEROUSLY UNMANAGEABLE.
The following article, from the Richmond
Enquirer and Examiner, will repay perusal.
The intolerable Puritan oppression that
drove the South to madness will, eventu
ally, drive the West —to sense:
“ The military strategists of antiquity placed
grett faith in elephants, although those gigantic
belligerents were sometimes exceedingly dan
gerous and unruly. When clad in armor and
lai-tcned to armed chariots, they sometimes
turned tail upon the enemy at a critical mo
ment, and dashed furious and headlong through
the ranks of their friends, traTnpling whole le
gions under foot, and slicing them up with the
fleythes which were designed to make mince
meat of the enemy.
“ Daring the late civil war the West was the
■elephant of the Puritan. The cunning New
Unglanders harnessed that mighty sectiou to
their war-car and drove it furiously against the
armies of the Confederacy. The West went into
the tight with the powerful valor of the back
woodsmen, and did by far the bloodiest work.
The hardy sons ol the new Stales spent very
little time and money in buying up and dedi
cating foreign and negro substitutes to the
cause of “ glory,” but went in with their rifles
and won the day.
“The Puritan having put in his negro substi
tute, devoted all of his spare time to those pur
suits and occupations upon which speculating
carrion crows and vultures fatten, while brave
men are cutting each other's throats. He patted
his war elephant on the back with one baud,
and kept his carpet looms and manufactories at
work with the other. He coined the whole of
his superfluous loyalty into money, while the
Western warriors whitened the South with
their patriotic boues. While his precious car
case was safe, bis pockets were bursting with
The unholy fruits of knavish legislation. He
heaped empty compliments upon the Western
elephant, but burdened him with the most ini
quitous protective tariff beneath which an agri
cultural people ever groaned. He imitated the
Tampire iu fanning the West with praises for
its valor, while he depleted that section by
means of legislation the most seltish of modern
times.
“ And this occupation was as pleasant and
profitable as was the famous practice of blood
letting which Dr. Sangredo pursued with so
much substantial benefit to himself, but with
such terrible fatality to his patients. And when
the war ended, the Puritan who had become
enormously wealthy, generously proposed to
reward his negro substitute with the elective
franchise, and almost every Western officer was
made a —brevet Brigadier or Major General.—
The brevet honors cost nothiug, but the Puri
tan, thinking that the virtue of such wholesale
liberality to the West should not be its own re
ward, tightened the screws of his protective
tariff, while parting his elephant ou the back.
“ But as the West has had no lighting on its
hands for more than two years, it is slowly
waking up to the discovery that it had been
cheated in a thousand ways by its Puritan
driver. The conviction is slowly finding its
way into its thick skull, that the ciamorous
patriotism of the Puritan was a snare and a
delusion.
“ And the Western Elephant i 6 becoming un
manageable, and has turned upon its New
England driver with savage flourish of trunk
and gleam of tusk. One by one, in obedience,
doubtless, to the ground-swell of popular
opinion in their States, the Republican leaders
of the West are demolishing the New England
idols which they have been imperiously com
manded by Sumner, Fessenden and Morrill to
fall down and worship. The citadel of Puritan
principles is being rudely assailed, and there is
acarcely one which the West is not contemptu
ously trampling under foot.
“ Sumner’s threat to thrust his black draught
of negro suffrage down their throats, the lead
ing Radical statesmen of the West have re
sented with crushing power. The seed of Re
pudiation dropped in Ohio has ripened in the
rank of Radical soil of that State, as if it had
been specially prepared for it. New England,
having invested much of the profits of its war
goods in national securities, denounces as the
greatest of crimes a proposal to pay the interest
of those securities in greenbacks. The West
ern Repnblicans are evidently so much de
lighted at the thought of substituting tbe
engraver’s burin and a printing press for
assessors and collectors of the internal revenue
tax, that they are jealous of the great and
growing popularity of the Democrat who
originated that idea. A protective tariff, also,
which every New Englander regards as a cardi
nal doctrine of faith, the Western Republicans
are very properly denouncing as the invention
of the Evil One.
“ But more frightful than all this i 6 the oppo
sition of the great and hungry Western
Laborer, who, casting greedy glances at tbe
accumulated capital of New England—tbe
fruit of oppressive tariffs and swindling con
tracts—demands that he shall have a share of
what was coined from the sweat of his brow,
and the blood which he shed lor a‘Union,’
which Puritan machinations still prevent from
being restored to its ancient strength ana
harmony.
“And if auything should give to the patriot
more sincere pleasure than these indications
that the West is throwing off the yoke of New
England, it should be the spectacle of Massa
chusetts honored and petted robber, mercena
ry and political Judas, assuming the form of
the Nemesis, which is to puuish her most sore
ly whefi the West breaks forth in terrible re
volt. The coolness with which Butler is evi
dently preparing to strike New England as
soon as he can do so with profit must be re
freshing to every gentlemau of well regulated
mind.
“ Until that noted brigand had made himself
thoroughly infamous by robbery, treachery,
cruelty and cowardice, Massachusetts despised
and dishonored him ; but when the cup of his
infamy was full, aud all Christendom poiuted
at him the finger of Scorn, that State embraced
him with demonstrative affection and heaped
honors upon his head. The promptness with
Butler now endorses the Western idea of ma
king the greenback printing presses pay the
interest upon the national debt, shows that he
is getting ready to wage as furious a war upon
the “advanced moral ideas” of New England j
as when he swore by the doctrine of secession, J
and was the most zealous partisan of Mr
Jefferson Davis for the Presidency of the Uni- '
ted Btates.” • '

What is the Matter?
Merchants are complaining of hard times.
Mechanics are organizing associations to
in; intain the rates of wages which they
demand. The manufacturers are shutting
rp their mills—the country is full of goods.
Machinists are discharging laborers. Far
mers are not getting rich.
Wliat is the matter? Briefly we will
tell you. One-half of the producing portion
cf the country is throttled by the military
1 and. A great army is kept in the field to
force unconstitutional measures upon the
t enth. The people of the North are taxed
t > support the costly military despotism—
t iiey are paying smartly to aid the work of
subjecting the white race iu the fairest por
tion of our land to black domination.
What follows ? Trade, labor, manufac
turing, planting, are all .deranged and
choked down. The people at the South
i ted the Northern surplus of goods, but
la ve no money to buy them with. The
i i ndrecls of millions of gold formerly
brought from abroad in exchange for cot
ton, have not appeared the past two years.
The North feels it. But the North feels
something more. She is made to pay for
the support of the despotism which drives
at ray this wealth, and crushes out a valua
ble customer. Reflect, continues the Hart
ford Times, for one moment upon the enor
mous amount of money drawn from the
people—mostly from the North and West
during the year ending June 30,1867:
It teraal re\ enue $310,006,984 17
From > customs 179,046,651 58
Total U. S. taxation $489,053,635 75
All of this, except about $60,000,000, was
pc id by the consumers of the country. Over
$400,000,000 was added to the price of food,
clothing, fuel, rents—to the articles of con
sumption—and it fell upon the laboring
classes mainly. The proportion of this
burden to Connecticut was over $12,000,000
(twelve millions.) This is in addition to
our own State and town taxation.
It is well to look upon the figures occa
sionally, and reflect upon them—otherwise
we shall not be able to understand how
much we are paying to the tax gatherers.
The taxes of the United States Government
are laid so that we do not see tile tax bills,
but we pay them every time we buy a dol
lar’s worth of food, of clothing, or any ne
cessary of life. A good share of the yearly
expenses of every person goes to the tax
account.
Wc paid in 1866 four times as much in
taxes as the people of Great Britain did, in
proportion to our wealth.
W hat is the matter ? Let the people re
flect. They have thirty thousand tax gath
erers to support. Congress is squandering
money to an alarming extent. The slioddy
ites and speculators are clamoring for war.
They keep up the war upon the South, with
a large army there. They are making an
Indian war—forcing it, exaggerating it,
and speculating out of it. Already they
claim the Indian war will cost us a hun
dred millions of dollars. They are familiar
izing the people to this monstrous sum, for
they mean to steal it ftom them through
congressional appropriations. The loyal
leagues are filling the land with armies of
office holders, most of them worse than use
less.
What is the matter ? The greatest pro
t' ucing portiou of the country crushed by
Military despotism—its $200,000,000 in
gold trampled out by the soldier’s tread ;
l ite South made poor and kept poor, while
Millions on millions of dollars worth of
goods lie upon Northern shelves without a
1 urchaser—every yard of which is needed
i-1 the South.
What is the matter? Disunionists are
c ontrolling Congress. They are destroying
c ivil liberty in this country. They make
1 iws at war with a free government. They
are squandering the public money, and
c rushing the people by the weight of their
monstrous taxation. Matter enough! It
is suprising that the people have borne it so
well, and that the distress is not greater.

Naughty Phil.
now HE CAM* TO BE EXCOMMUNICATED.
Our atteution has been drawn to a paragraph
| i n the Herald and Vindicator , a weekly paper
ia Philadelphia, owned and edited by an lrish
j uian. It refers to a suggestion made by the
ioston Pilot of the name of Phil. Sheridan, as
: candidate for the Presidency. The Philadelphia
paper puts on ’umble airs, and says it will not
do for an Irish paper to propo.se an Irieh-Amer
i can Catholic for President. If that is all the
matter, General Phil. Sheridan can get a clean
>ir dirty “ bill of health !” It is true he is of
rish Catholic parentage. We have heard that
le was once in the Dominican College in Ohio
•a a student. If so, he is the poorest specimen
j >f haudwork that we have known the Domini-
I '-iris to turn out. We have beeD assured that he
j s a Free Mason. If 60, and if tbe lodge he
| iclongs to is in good standing, it would cer
: ainly and of necessity expel him, were some
| >f his doings in the Valley of Virginia to be
>rought to trial—that is, except Free Masonry
; s as much altered as “ Methodists North” have
i >eeu.
If Phil. Sheridan wants to run as Radical
audidate for President we can be of service to
tim. We ean get him certificates of ipso facto
by the Catholic Church. Free
ilasonry is badly run down from what it us#d
o be among American Masons if he cannot
;et the same certificate from that religion—if
hey ever had the misfortune of having him
among them.
If Phil. Sheridan wants a through ticket—
>roviug he is excommunicated from the Catho
'ic Church—and a reserved case at that, he can
apply at our office, and we will make out his
capers for him. The memory of what he did
o the devoted Father Shceran, who came into
’iis lines, on proper permission, to care for dying
soldiers of both armies, will haunt Phil. Sheri
dan on his death-bed, and a great deal lower
down, except he has the grace to get relieved
rom the terrible penalties he lia6 incurred, and
which it is not every priest that can absolve him
from.
If Phil. Sheridan is not a fool he had better
hunt up Father Sbeeran, in New Orleans, and
see if tbe good lather has, or can obtain, the
power of absolving him.
Information Wanted —There dwells in the
city of Mobile a creature by name Griffin,
editor of a nigger newspaper, who formerly re
sided somewhere in Georgia. Whenever the
Mobile Tribune has occasion to refer to this
first-class specimen of a Radical, it invariably
styles him, Giiffln, tho “ Poultice Eater.” For
a long time we were greatly perplexed to know
what the Tribune meant by this unique soubri
quet. If it had called him a thief, a coward,
rascal, scoundrel, sneak, skunk, or anything of
that kind, we should have easily understood
the thing, as these appellations are of right the
peculiar property of the Southern disciples of
Radicalism. But “Poultice Eater” stumped
us for a long time. Afier diligent enquiry we
learned that Griffin sheltered himself during
the war nuder a hospital appointment, and
whilst performing the arduous and dangerous
duties of his office, he was caught eating the
poultices prepared for sick soldiers, such as
flax seed, slipery elm, mush, &c. Having sur
mounted the first difficulty, a second one pre
sents itself, and we are compelled to go to "the
Tribune man for its eolation. We desire to
know, indeed we are anxious to be informed,
whether Griffin ate those poultices before or
after they were used on the sick soldiers ? We
pause for a reply. Will the Tribune man en
lighten us ?—Columbus Sun.

Cleveland, September 10.
The Cleveland Herald this evening con
tains an extended account of the proceed
ings of the Fenian Congress, which closed
its week’s session. Last night the Congress
sat with closed doors, and every part of the
building was guarded with armed soldiers,
and the members were sworn not to divulge
its proceedings even to the Circles except
as permission was given; but the Herald
contrived to get all the most important facts
tbit were omitted from the published
finest.
The proceedings throughout were stormy,
ar.cl several times there was danger of the
Congress breaking up in a general row.—
(k nsiderable feeling was manifested at the
r>roposition to swear the members to secrecy;
ia t after hearing instances narrated of pre
virus bad faith, it was determined to bind
every member by stringent oath to secrecy.
The question whether women should be
ac’ mitted to Circles was answered in the
nc gative because of their inability to keep a
secret.
The message of President Roberts, occu
py ing several columns, was given to the
pi bite, but the supplementary message,
cc ntaining accounts of his mission to Paris,
wis reserved for the private consideration
of the Congress. In that document, Mr.
3 rberts said that after visiting Circles in
(5 -eat Britain and Ireland, lie went to Paris,
w iere he met the representatives of the
Irish Revolutionary Brotherhood. He found
the Irish people very much discouraged
since the failure in Canada, and it required
liis best efforts to convince them that the
Fenian Brotherhood, as now organized in
America, were not responsible lor the dis
aster ; and to lay the blame upon the pro
per persons, the Stephens party. These
men had been sent to Europe to work for
the cause, but instead of doing the work
aid out for them, they had put up at the
best hotel, kept fast horses, and faster
women, and had squandered the money
which the poor, hard working Irish people
had freely given for the independence of
Ireland. He had labored until the fourth
of .July to effect a bond of union between
the I. R. B. of the old country and the F. B.
of America, and upon that day it was ac
complished, and to-day the two were one in
purpose. He said the time and place to
make a strike came up, and was fully dis
cussed by the gentlemen. Some suggested
six months from the 4th of July, but he
told them that he did not think that the
two organizations would be in perfect work
ing order so as to strike together before
twelve months, and the matter was so de
cided. He stated that the Irish of the old
country were warm upon the subject, and
only wanted the co-operation of the Irish
men of this side of the water; but that the
Irish of the old country would never rise
again until an army fully equipped and
armed stood upon Irish soil to defend them;
that it was extreme recklessness, and would
lead to nothing but butchery for them to
make a strike without the aid of American
Irishmen. During this Paris meeting Ste
phens and his party were denounced in most
severe terms as adventurers, and they have
resolved to hold no communication with
them. The organization here must be in
perfect working order, and be able to make
a grand strike before another yea l- , for
“ hope deferred maketh the heart sick,” and
Dish people of the Old Country were look
ing across the water for aid.
Mr. Roberts read a long document from
the “ Irish Republic Brotherhood” organi
zation iu the Old Country, to the “Fenian
Brotherhood” in America, pledging for a
grand union and aid in the common cause,
which was addressed to the Congress as
sembled in Cleveland. He then said he left
t le entire matter in the hands of the Con
gress, hoping that they would be guided by
wisdom and the love of country.
General Spear, Acting Secretary of War,
reported that the whole force of the Fenian
1 irigade numbered 9,300 enlisted men, with
about 15,000 rifles, 16,500 accoutrements,
and 120,000 rounds of ammunition; in ad
dition, there were 100 rifles along the bor
der from St. Albans to Oswego, in the
lands of private parties. At Sackett’s
I larbor about 2,000 stand of arms, aud at
Platt’s Point about 1,200, at Oswego 119
rifles. In all about 20,000. In addition to
mis force, the Stevens wingclaimed to have
15,000 stands of arms, 15,000 sabres, and a
1 trge lot of ammunition and a vessel in
New York harbor. It was decided that
four military organizers should be appoint
ed to raise troops; that an Inspector Gen
«ral should also be appointed. Ten batte
ries of field artillery, three cavalry regi
ments of ten companies each, and two light
1 atteries, mounted, to go with the cavalry,
are to be appointed. Casey’s tactics are to
lie adopted. A fund to defray army ex
penses is to be raised by collecting ten cents
from each soldier. The soldiers of the Ar
iny of the Irish Republic, by which name
i he military organization is hereafter to be
known, are to be sober and discreet men, as
'veil as good fighting soldiers. No man
addicted to intoxicating liquors is to be ad
mitted into the ranks, and any man found
drunk will be dismissed.
A committee from the Stevens wing of the
! brotherhood sent a communication asking
that a committee be sent to confer with
them on the subject of the union of the two
wings. After sharp debate a committee
was appointed, and the result of the con
erence was an arrangement for perfecting
he union of the two factions of Fenians in
America together with the Fenians in
reland into an organization to be known
;,s the Irish Republic.
Colonel Roberts was rc-elected President,
but declined unless the Congress would
r aise $500,000 for the cause. Half that
amount was pledged, and after further cou
; Col. Roberts accepted the nrosi
ion.
It was decided to call ou all Circles to im
mediately send to headquarters what funds
vere in their possession, and to waste no
nore money for flags and trappings. Every
available dollar is to be used for the pur
chase and refitting of arms and the procural
of ammunition.
The bonds of the Irish Republic were re
ported to realize only twenty cents on the
dollar, so that the |strictest economy is ne
cessary. No definite time has been fixed on
for the grand movement. The Congress
agreed to leave the determination of the
time and general plan of the campaign to a
convention of the military officers of the
Irish Republic, to be held in the Spring.
A resolution of respect for the memory of
Thomas Francis Meagher created a heated
discussion, there being a wide difference of
opinion as to his merits and the services he
had rendered the Fenian cause. Applause
and hisses greeted every repetition of his
name, and the resolution was at last de
clared carried, amid vociferous dissent.
A resolution was adopted by a large ma
jority appointing a committee to draft an
appeal to the United States Government in
behalf of the Irish patriots, prisoners con
fined in British dungeons. In the debate
on the passage of this resolution, the spirit
of the Congress was in favor of such ac
tion, and that the two great political par
ties in America should understand that
whichever party proved friends of the Fe
nian Brotherhood would receive the pledge
of support from the Brotherhood, and that
this should be taught to different circles at
home. In this way the Fenian Brother
hood would become a power to be felt and
heard in America. It was the feeling that
all parties should lie ignored, and that the
Brotherhood should be the enemy of its
enemies, and the friend of its friends no
matter who the party or what their prin
ciples.
A declaration of principles was after
wards adopted and given to the public as
were a series of resolutions, which profess
ed hearty co-operation with the friendly
press, disclaiming and forbidding any use
of the Brotherhood for political purposes
in connection with present parties in this
country; of thanks to prominent citizens
who aided in the recovery of the Fenian
arms; and of acknowledgment to the Irish
Nationalities of Cleveland, and discounte
nancing any applications of funds except
for the purpose of arms and other revolu
tionary purposes.

- Union and Disunion Bones.
It suits the taste and purpose of a second
rule class ol sensational journalists, to im
pute visible distinctions of union and dis
union to the fleshless, crumbling bones to
the very dust indeed, of the slain combat
ants on Manassas and other fields. The
partisanism that is so hungry as to relish
this kind of food is ogre-like and infernal
Thank Heaven! the spirits unloosed by
strokes of battle put off their uniforms with
their bodies, and are freed from thrall to
emblems, deviceg, slogans and battle-cries
of either political or martial hostility. A.nd
as for their bones, they fit well in the land
scape, wherever they may lie, and nature
appropriates them lovingly, to whatever of
her countless treasuries and workshops she
may consign them. It is certain that she
does not sort them according to the badges
and colors which they bore, or the ranks
and offices which they held, when they
were incarnate and locomotive. “ Impe

The subjoined paragraph, to an
ex-Union soldier calls our attention's in
keeping with the foregoing reflections,"'de
spite the wretched desire of its author to
cook the alleged fact to which it relates in
to a highly-seasoned sensational dish:
A Horrible and Sacrilegious Travel tr _
It has been discovered that some of the farm
ers in the vicinity of Manassas, and other Vir
ginia battle fields, have reaped a large pecunia
ry harvest recently by digging up and sending
to the bone dust manure factories the remains
of Union soldiers buried on their farms. A
skull, hip-bone, part, of the vertebral column,
femur and tibia, were taken from a wagon
which had been loaded at Hull Run by them,
and which was on its way to Alexandria, ami
brought to this city. We relerred, a few days
ago, to the fact that a portion of a human skele
ton, picked out of a heap which had been col
lected for this revolting use, had been shown
us by a gentleman who had been on a visit to the
battle field, and suggested that measures should
lie taken to put a stop to this horrible sacrilege.
Onr remarks on that occasion are confirmed by
this new evidence, and the necessity of prompt
interference demonstrated.

Wc append, also, the letter of the ex-
Union sodier which inclosed the above. His
questions need no answer. Their purport is
such as to completely expose the absurdity
of describing the incidents related as an out
rage to the bones of Union soldiers exclu
sively ; and if there were any sacrilege in
the matter it is clear that those who made
a show of fragments of skeletons to gratify
a paltry curiosity and to pander to news
paper sensationalism, were pre-eminently
guilty of it:

By answering the following questions you
will greatly oblige one who can show a clean*
record and an honorable discharge from the
Union army, and one who is not likely to forget
Manassas and all other portions of Virginia.—
First—Were there no Confederate soldiers bu
ried on “ Manassas and other Virginia battle
fields ?” If ye*, were they so marked as to defin
iiely distinguish them from graves of Union
soldiers ? Second —Do skeletons exhumed two
j ears or more after interment, still wear their
rniforms? If no, was the skeleton found in
the wagon, loaded at Bull Run and lately ex
hibited to some of our citizens, so branded as to j
1 e identified as the bones of a Union soldier ?
’ ’bird—ls there no possibility that they might'
have been the bones of a Confederate soldier?
Fourth—Was not bringing them to Washington
or to any other place for exhibition, sacrile-s

The toilet of a lady who is enigmatically
mentioned as “Mrs. Win. B. Ast—r, of New

An elegant rose-colored silk, corded with a
narrow row of velvet a shade lighter than the
dress at the bottom, having a heavy flounce of
pointappliqne, beaded with pearl beads, coming
to each side of the front breadth, caught, with
French ivy leaves ; high corsage, with long
points ; long sleeves trimmed with narrow
lace. Hair crepcd, with waterfall bound with
braid and heads of ripe wheat on left side,
with Alexandrine curl. Rich diamonds.
Your Senate house, which used not to admit
A man, however popular, to stand
Made glorious hy action ; whose experience,
Crown’d with gray hairs, gave war-ant to his counsels
Heard and reeeived with reverence: is now tilled
With green head, that determine of the state
Over their cups, or when their stated lusts 5
Afford them leisure ; or supplied hy those
Who rising from base arts and sordid thrift,
Arc eminent for their wealth, not for their wisdom,
Which is the reason that to hold a placo
In council, which was once esteemed an hour
And a reward for virtue, hath quite lost
Lustre nnd reputation, and is made
A mercenary purchase.
From whence it proceeds
That the treasure of the city is engrossed
By a few private men, the public coffers
Hollow with want; and they that will not spare
One talent for the coming good— to feed
The pride and bravery of their wives, consume,
In plate, in jewels and superfluous slaves,
What would maintain an army.
