ny JOHN lUNDOLPH, OF UOAKOKF.
Thou who unmoved hast heard the whirlwind
chide.
Full many a winter round thy craggy bed:
Anddike an earth-born giant has outspread
Thy hundred arms, and Heaven’s own bolts de
' lied.
Now lieat thou along thy native mountain aide
Upturn; yet deem not that 1 come to shed
The idle drops of pity o er thy head;
Or basely to insult thy blasted pride.
No-still 'tis thine, the' fallen, imperial oak!
To teach this lesson to the wise and brave.
That 'tie much better, overthrown and broke
Iu freedom's cause, to sink into the grave
Than insubmission to a tyrant’s yoke.
Like the vile reed to how and be a slave.
A Colored Man’s Spe.ee H.
A Democratio ratitlcation meeting
waa held iu Tallahassee, Fla., about
ten days ago, and among the speak
ers was a colored man named Gard
ner, and a correspondent of the
Jacksonville Press reports him as
follows:
Mr. Gardner, colored, then spoke:
"God intended us to be free. NY ho
brought the people out of the Land
of Egypt and the house of bondage?
Does Moses claim the glory? The
Republican party never intended to
tree us. It was an accident, so far as
tiiey are concerned. They did not
whip the South to free us. They
could not whip them. They were get
ting the worst of it, and they called
upon us. Just like, now’ -suppose
you and another man light, and lie
can’t lick you, but is getting sick of
his bargain, and ho calls another
man to help him and they double
team on you— that’s the way it was
done. It was for the Union.
And now 7 , if you don’t waiit
them to break up the Union and
steal ail there is in it, come and vote
for Tilden and Drew. My old father
put two hundred and odd dollars in
the Freedman’s 15ank and lost it, and
his children need it to-day. Did the
Radicals ever do you any good? Do
they give you any work? What busi
ness do they do requiring your as
sistance? They don’t own any prop
erty. All they want is to make
money, and they get it out of you
and me by heavy tax so they can get
SB.OO a day, when we have to work in
the sun for fifty cents. Where are
tile promised forty acres and the
mule? You all kuo’vv preacher Hull
and heard him preach - well, he had
to sell his mule, that he worked hard
to buy, so as to pay his tax, and the
other Sunday he came to church and
give out the text, and before he be
gun he asked the congregation to
help him witli a collection to pay his
tax why didn’t he goto the Radicals
to help him? ’Cause lie knowed- it
was no use. You, my colored
folks, are predjudiced against Demo
crats. You will be freer under them
Ilian you are now, when a mau eau’L
vote as he pleases without being
beaten, and then there is no law to
protect him. (A cry from crowd,
“Yes just like Georgia.”) You
needn’t say nothing about Georgia.
I wont to Savannah, and in three
months I made a hundred and odd
dollars. If a man does wrong there,
he is punished by the law, but here
there is no law to protect you. I had
some pigs and chickens, and they
were stolen, and the justice of the
peace never done a thing to the man
that stole them. These fellows who
come here from Georgia, run off to
keep out of prison for some rascality.
An honest man can live anywhere ex
cept among rogues.”
Tin* First Steamer to Eross the Atlan
tic.
An interesting fact to know at the
present epoch in our history is that
t lie lirst steamer to cross the Atlantic
was an American ship. From a let
ter written to the London Times in
1851 bv Mr. John S. Cunningham, now
l'ay Director of the United States
Navy, we extract the following items
of interest in connection with the
fact. Mr. Cunningham’s letter was
called forth by a claim made by the
Times in a previous issue that the
.Sirius, a British steamship, was the
first to cross. Ho says :
On referring to the Times ot .Tune
‘2lst, 1819, you will find the following
paragraph, credited to Marwade’s
Commercial report for that week:
“Among the arrivals yesterday at
this port we were particularly grati
fied and astonished by the novel sight
of a line steamship, which came round
at 74 p. m., without the assistance of
a single sheet, in a style which dis
played the power and advantage of
ihe application of steam to vessels of
the largest size, being 350 tons bur
den. She is called the ‘Savannah,’
Captain Rodgers, anil sailed from
Savannah (Georgia, United States,;
the 20th of May, and arrived in the
ehannel live days since. During her
passage she worked the engines 18
davs. Her model is beautiful, and
the accommodations for passengers
elegant and complete. She is the
tirst ship on this construction that
has undertaken a voyage across the
Atlantic.’'
The Times, of June 30, 1819, says:
“The Savannah, steam vessel, re
cently arrived at Liverpool from
America—the first vessel of the kind
that ever crossed the Atlantic—was
chased a whole day off the coast of
Ireland bv the Kite, revenue cruiser,
on the Cork Station, which mistook
her for a ship on fire.”
Lloyd’s list reports the arrival of
the Savannah at Liverpool, on the
20th of June,lßl9, bouud toSt. Peters
burg, and in Gore’s Annals of Liver
pool you will find the American
steamer’s arrival recorded among
“remarkable events.”
The steamship Savannah was an
American ship, built, owned and
navigated by Americans. Francis
Ficket, of New York, built her for
Daniel Dodd, and the engines were
made by Stephen Vail, of Morris
town, N. J. She was commanded by
Capt. Moses Rogers and navigated
by Stever. Rogers, of New London,
Conn.
Judge Davenport, of Texas, gives
these figures to show the profit of
sheep raising there: May 25, 1871,
bought 1,449 sheep for $2,898 ; herding
cost $210; salting, $47.50; total-ex
pense, $3,101. Have on hand 3,130
sheep, worth $6,200; sold wool last
vear for $720.25; this year for $1,362.
Total profits, $8,342.25; net profit, $5,-
180.75.

Tlu* IVoiiihii in tin* Restaurant.
New Century: “When a lady
comes into a restaurant,” said the
waiter, “she sits down as if terrapins
and turtles were nothing to her. I
never can help believing in her,
counting my experieuee as nothing.
She always asks for ‘the bill of fare,
and reads tin* figures first. Meu, you
know, say, ‘Do they cook oysters de
cent?’ but she always says, ‘What
do they cost?’ Then she talks to her
friend, and slio says, ‘Do you like
vermicelli soup?” ‘Oh,’ says the
other, ‘don’t let’s have soup, It’s so
hot.’ ‘I don’t want any soup,’ says
she,- ‘and 1 hate vermicelli, don’t
you?’ ‘Yes,’ saysshe, ‘but what shall
we have? They have splendid chick
en patties at Maillard’s, in New York;
I wonder if they are good here? ‘I
don’t know,’says the other, ‘I had
sheep’s-head here once, and it was
very goo#. ’ ‘Well, let us have
that.’ ‘No,’.says she, ‘don’t let’s have
the same thing. Y'ou have sheep's
head, and I’ll have chicken. ’ ‘No;
you have rare beef?’—to me—‘Yes,
miss,’ I say. ‘You have shad?’ says
the other. ‘No. it is too late, and
don’t let both or us have fish. I wish
they had Vienna coffee, or that love
ly rose sherbert from the Turkish
bazaar. Let us go over there.” ’Oh,
no, it’s too hot.’ ‘Well, what are you
going to have?’ Then they ask tno if
we have fried chicken, and all sorts
of tilings not on the bill, and if we
had—as we havn’t —what would it
cost. Then they talk of this and of
that,and then oiie says, ‘Oh, pshaw!
I mean lo have some ice cream;
and the other says, ’Yes, it is
just what she wants, and then when
they get it they say it isn’t half as
good as the ice cream of some other
place, and then they say to bring
them some cake; and when I bring
them they say, ‘haven’t wo some
other kind?’ and I bring that. Then
one says, ‘let us have some coffee,’
and they decide on lemonade.
When I givo the check they count
up everything by itself, and say, Oh,
mercy, did the cake cost all that?’
Then they get up and drop their
gloves, and say, Tot’s go to the Trois
Freres, or else to the restaurant in
some of the halls, and don’t you
think’that ice-cream was horrid?’ ”

A Pawnee Iml inn nil Picket II lull Hr
Ttinuwlil ol a Malt'll.
Correspondence of Story’s Chicago Times.]
We were ordered to make a detail
for picket duty, and as the Pawnees
were doing nothing iu particular, we
thought we’d give them a turn. My
sergeant took half a dozen of them
with the guard, and, reached the
picket post, explained that they
would lie two hours on and four
hours off duty. He said to the Paw
nee chief: “Look at this watch. It
is now six o’clock. When tho short
hand goes around twice you will call
me and be relieved. Do you under
stand me?”
"Hey- hey— good!” said the Indian,
and stalked away.
The sergeant, who was very tired,
went to sleep and was not disturbed
until it was almost day. Then he
was aroused by a hand being laid on
his shoulder. He opened his eyes
and saw tin! Pawnee standing over
him, watch in hand.
“Well, chief, what do you want?”
asked the sergeant.
“Pawnee heap cold, much heap
stiff,” replied the warrior. “Ugh!
That thing—indicating the watch
must lie. Long finger—the minute
hand—him all right. Short finger
tiie hour hand- lie heapdamn tired!”
The sergeant laughed, and tried to
enlighten the Indian as to his mis
take. “Ugh !” was ail the disgusted
chief would say, but he would have
no more to do with the picket.

Colorado.
Richmond Enquirer.]
It is observed by railway journals
that Colorado, which has just been
admitted as the thirty-eighth State
in tho Union, is a remarkable illus
tration of railroad progress iu the
United States. Seven years ago not
a mile of railroad track touched its
rugged surface, and a traveler to its
borders could only be reached by
weary days and, perhaps, weeks of
iourneyingby ox-tcam orin tho prim
itive stage wagon. Now its northern
portion is touched by the Union Pa
cific Railroad, the great trans-conti
nental highway. Another great
trunk line, the Kansas Pacific, enters
it near the middle of its eastern side,
and a third grand enterprise, the
Atchison, TopekaJ and Santa Fee,
reaches it by the fertile southern
line of the Arkansas valley. Local
roads have climbed and penetrated
the mountains in various directions,
and the total length of lines in the
State centering at, Denver, is about
560 miles. The peculiar adaptation
of the narrow-guage system to short
curves and heavy grades was illustra
ted by the construction and success
ful operation in Colorado of the first
three-foot guage in the country, the
Denver and Rio Grande, and several
other lines are now in progress of
construction or contemplated.
Carl Sciiurz on Blaine.- The St.
Louis Westleichc Post, Car) Schurz’s
paper, says; “Anil so James G.
Blaine has been tendered and has ac
cepted the apjiointment to the United
States Senate from Maine! One of
the saddest, results of the civil service
system! Instead of refusing the ap
pointment, as any honest man would
have done in his place, he accepted
it. The House committee are per
fectly right in taking up the investi
gation against Blaine again,
and in pushing it forward.
Had he been satisfied to remain
a member of the lower house and.
kept quiet, no one would ’’have
thought of prosecuting the sick man
any longer. But now the committee
should continue the prosecution, and
by so doing they may spare the na
tion the shame of having a ciminal
in the United States Senate. It is
vitally important to abolish a system j
of running the civil service depart
ment, by which politicians like
Blaine have become party leaders.
Reform, thorough reform of the civil
service, is what we want, and the
way to get it is to follow what Hayes
says about it in his letter of accep
tance.”
The sale of stamps for the quarter
onding March 31, 1876, was $7,002,931,
which is unprecedented in the busi
ness of the Department. The re
ceipts of the I’ostoffice Department
for the quarter ending March 31,1876,
were $7,398,667.95, while for the same
quarter of 1875 they amounted to
$6,805,621.31. The expenditures dur

9Jov. Ttlrtcn’s Delay.
N. Y. Herald special.]
Washington, July 18, 1876.—The
appearance of Gov. Tilden’s letter of
acceptance has been eagerly looked
for here, and the news to-day that it
is to be delayed for some time has
caused discussion. It is supposed
that he means now to withhold his
letter until after Congress adjourns
in order to cover the ground of the
acts of tho session to some extent,
but more particularly so that there
shall be no attempt by the soft mon
ey men to legislate in opposition to
his declarations. It is well known
that there has been a strugglo in the
Banking and Currency Committee to
get a report repealing tho Resump
tion act, ami that the iniiuence of
Mr. Tiluen’s friends has been exort
ed to prevent such a report. On the
other hand, Mr. Hendricks’ friends
have exerted themselves to procure a
repeal. It is believed that both Til
den and Hendricks have sent special
and urgent instructions to tlioir
friends, tiie one to oppose, tho other
to procure the repeal. Tiie commit
tee meets to-morrow morning. No
one of its members is known to have
changed his mind, and it is not prob
able that it will be able to agree upon
a report to repeal. There is no doubt
that the soft money men are very
anxious to put the Holise on record
as repealing the Resumption act. It
would give them great, satisfaction,
but they will hardly succeed, as the
committee will have only oue or two
sessions more.

A pardon for Avery is said to have

A change has taken placo in the

favor of the repeal of the resumption

Gen. Gibson is in fuvor of hard

Ohio !
Cleveland Plaindealer]
There are 292,000 Democrats in
Ohio who will fight on, light ever.
We have 44 Democratic to 44 Repub
lican counties in the State. We now
have a majority of the Congressmen
in Ohio, arid while it is hardly possi
ble that we may lose one or two dis
tricts that we carried two years ago,
we intend to elect a majority of the
delegation. * * * Tho Democra
cy of Ohio are not the men to lay
down their guns, either at the dicta
tion of the Republicans or because
they have not always been strictly in
accord with the views of the Democ
racy of the other States. Ail differ

of the common enemy, and the Dem

in October as will surprise their ene

of the Democracy of tiie nation.

Wendell Phillips objects to the
term “Custer massacre,” and says:
“The Sioux war, all confess, is one
that our misconduct provoked. In
such a war Gen. Custer has fallen in
a fair fight, simply because the en
emy had more soldierly skill and
strategy than Custer had. What kind
of a war is it, where, if we kill the
enemy, it is death; if he kills us, it is
massacre ?”
Mr. Phillips also describes an at
tack by Custer on a Cheyenne village
in 1868, and says of it: “Gen. Custer
—a disgrace to his name arid the flag
he bore—attacked a peaceful Chey
enne village near Fort Cobb, whose
inhabitants were either our prisoners
or our guests, dwelling thero by our
order. At midnight, without the
slightest warning, his shouts wake
this quiet settlement, and, as tho ter
rified sleepers rush from their huts.
Custer shoots down scores of women
half asleep, and of unarmed, peace
ful men.”

New York, July 22.—A special dis

Indians of their ponies, aud compel

In regard to the reported death of

it will make but little difference
whether it is true or not, as the In

...*♦
Washington, July 24.—The com
mittee investigating the judicial con
duct of Judge Wylie met again this
morning, and examined two witnes
ses. The testimony was unimpor
tant. The case is now roady for ar
gument.
The Committee on Banking and
Curroncy did not vote on the resump
tion question at its meeting to-day.
Mr. Payne, a member, says a vote
will probably be taken to-morrow.
Tho “soft money” men are confident
that the committee will report a bill
in favor of the repeal of the resump
tion clause.
The President has signed the joint
resolution for the issue of silver coin ;
also the act to oontiuuo the public
printing; the act to remove the po
litical disabilities of G. T. Beaure
gard, of New Orleans; and the act
making appropriations for the sup
port of the army for the fiscal year
ending June 30th, 1877.
Senator Logan, who has charge of
the bill for the equalization of boun
ties of those who served in the late
war for tho preservation of the Un
ion, expects to have it considered by
tho Senate before final adjournment.
A few days ago he attempted to have
it made the special order for a future
day, and a majority of the Senate so
voted ; but as the rule requires a two
thirds vote to make any bill a special
order, his motion did not prevail, the
voto standing yoas 28, nays 20. A
number of Senators who were absent
are known to be in favor of it.

THE YVAIt IN TURKEY.
SERVIAN DEFEATS.
London, July 22.—The special cor
respondent of the Daily News at
Prince Milan’s headquarters, at Para
kin, telegraphs, by the way of Sem
liu, July 19th, as follows: “The af
fair of yesterday at Isvor means de
feat aud confessioii of weakness on
the part of the Servians. Knowing
that the Turks had communication
with Widden and could draw troops
thence, it is a reasonable belief that
General Lesehjauin attacked the
Turks with his available strength.
But why did he attack at all? Clear
ly to anticipate the Turkish attack
on Saitehar, because he did not wait
for promised eo-operation of General
Tchornayoff, who either is delayed
en route or has to fight his way on
his own account. Ho may expect a
speedy renewal of the Turkish attack
on Saitehar and much gloom pre
vails. While tho Turks continue
thus to assail the eastern flank of the
Servians, and while the Servians can
uo no more than hold their own with
difficulty, active operations towards
the southwest, where they were
chiefly intended, are manifestly
impossible. More fighting in the
same quarter is momentarily expect
ed.
Tho News’ Parakiu specials are
note-worthy, because that paper
openly sympathizes with the Scla
vonians.
Ragusa, July 22.—Intelligence
from Sclavonic sources announces
that the Servians were defeated near
Beli na on Thursdny.
Mustaphi Jaliland Pasha and Soh
lozeki Pasha, with seven battalions
of infantry, four companies of caval
ry and eight guns attacked tho Ser
vians in their intreachments at
Rackajab, before Belina, and after
a four houis sanguinary conflict
the Servians fled. The Turks cap
tured four guns and four smaller
forts.
SERVIAN SUCCESS.
Belgrade, July 24,— An official dis
patch says tho Turks attacked on
the 21st instant a Servian redoubt
at Littlo Zevordick, which com
mands the Turkish bank of tho Dri
tia and renders communication diffi
cult between Belina and Great Ze
vordick. They wore repulsed. The
Turks were also routed on the 22d
instant on the Timak river near Ray
itnitza.
TURKISH ATROCITIES.
Paris, July 24.—The Figaro pub
lishes a dispatch from Constantino
ple, whicn says that tho atrocities in
Bulgaria continue, and innumerous
Pashi Bazarka are arriving in that
country from Asia.
The Sultan’s health is improved.
THE SITUATION AT ISVOR.
Manchester, July 24.—The Oiuxr
dian has advices from its special
correspondent at Kalafata, a walled
town on the Danube, nearly opposite
Wcdden, dated Saturday, saying: “I
have just returned from Isvor. The
Turks aro unable to take the offen
sive until reinforced, but they havo a
sufficient number of troops to hold
this position and repulse the Servians
attacks. The total Turkish killed
and wounded for the few past days
are 560. The Servians lost fully 250,
with five cannon.
