shape of taxing contracts by ing contributions Let me tell yon some particulars connected with a member of the Investigating Com- on Printing We made the dis- covery that the contracts per cent in many cases of tbe money paid by the Government for services wont into the political fond of which Wendell was tho Let mo refer yon to of tho names and circumstances connected with this State and with which yon be more Out of sixty-nine ors a large majority paid money on contracts into this fund It was that a contractor had done about a hundred thousand dollars worth of lithographing for the ment He was but his re- collection was so faint that he know nothing about his own Laughter 1 observed to the man of the Investigating Committee that I was not satisfied with his mony to the effect that the books were burned His partner was sent for and gave his testimony that tho books showed that they paid about twenty thousand dollars out of tbe one hundred dollars 000 worth of work to tbe party fond The question asked him was Bo the books show replied are the books the office f ho clerk was sent for and his mony agreed with that of the Having obtained tbe VOICE The burned and being a book keeper on investigation I found that about twenty thousand oat of the one hundred thousand dollars to the officer and charged to count ot mode which they understood in order to balance the cash book When asked how this could bo afforded was that so much tho charged for doing tho your I asked him why f He replied when Mr handed me a letter asking me to ish a thousand dollars to beat you I told him it was no use and it was only throwing money The matter then got I into the New York Tribune and came to Mr an's eye He sent for Wendell and said I want JOB to deny the of these statements Wendell replied I cannot He came and told me what had taken place And why not testimony published A of that committee was crats But gentlemen we have a committee now that will probe these fellows to the bottom It is for we Weeks day and night for victory and though you may think it small I hope there are great results to come from it Wendell's timony lately taken will show yon that be went into the doubtful districts of Pennsylvania and expended large sums of money to defeat us Whilst suffering from tbe sting of guilt for en- gaging in such transactions Mr chanan sent that pious letter to tbo Celebration re- to the use of money in elections tried to off on us This is the power behind the throne and which is used in the North to prostrate and crush the liberties of tbe It would take me a whole day to develop this corruption and 1 have only given one or two wises as specimens Wendell ly brought before the committee after we hod traced enormous sums of money into his hands we asked him to testify He refused when we referred him to the law framed by of ny which gave us the power to im- prison for contumacy He came back the next day and testified and for ing that testimony and for refusing to go to jail for two weeks the name of the Union was changed to The Con- Wendell was thrown over- bord and Bowman brought in dell then threatened to divulge the ted office to bestow upon the relatives of members of Congress These gentlemen are samples of what ia done at Washington to support this corrupt Administration to defeat tariff policy and from tbe territories Applause A did Hick

enter the contest Wo have to elect our members of Con gress our Governor our President and rescue tho control of this ment from the bands of tbe spoilers for if they are allowed to retain session more the ry of the Government will become more complicated and it is unlikely that we shall be able to assume the power of the Government Threats nave ready been made that if we elect a Be- President it will dissolve the Union So we were told if we elected n Speaker During the last contest for Speaker scores of speeches were made declaring that in the event of tbe tion of a Republican President the Un- ion should be dissolved This threat Mr President and it gives me nre to state it has in no single instance come from a Southern Oppositionist or Republican but in all cases from the Southern portion of the Democratic party and acquiesced in by Northern The object was to scare now beginners but the result has been to scare nobody but the Democrats I have been in Washington now fire years and let me say that the proud est feeling I ever attained Is that ring the whole straggle this corrupt Government with all its money and power has never succeed ed in bringing to their one single man to our party Applause Others been bought by the dozens Langb tec A A man named Norton says the Herald engaged in mining on lie was employed in ng a shaft The shaft was through he solid rock and had of course to Do lasted Last Tuesday had regressed some 35 feet down Mr Norton was engaged in drilling white companion attended to the windlass nd drew him up signal was Having finished a drill loaded it and getting ready preparatory to firing the fuse N commenced picking up his tools in readiness to At thin moment bis foot struck tho candle upsetting it exactly on the fuse and in a second it caught and was down towards the powder Mr K Im- mediately commenced calling to the man above to pull him up Tbe latter was at some little distance from the shaft and did not hear tbo cry but fortunately happening in that direction be taw the rope shaking and thinking bo might be wanted he hat np The next instant ho bo- came aware what was wanted and im- mediately commenced hauling up the other Tbe situation of the latter was anything bat time seemed to his imagination to bavo elapsed for the fuse to burn tbe der and he momentarily expected to be blown out of tbe shaft The man at tbe windlass made superhuman efforts and had hauled the other within some ten feet of the month when the handle of the windlass broke Fortunately Mr Norton a where 1 was raised I knew a man who tad the most astonishing strengthen jaws and teeth of any man that er lived I eaw him once standing ca tbe sunny aide barn with wool bat arm filled with btack walnuts and he just put them in his month and cracked them aa easily as one would crack chestnut i Tbe auditors exchanged of in- credulity A quizzical and facetious blade known as Kentuck was present and heard tbe and remarked No Judge of the on have said Some men are re- ly strong Now in South I lived one of my bors was noted for tbe extraordinary muscular strength of his arm I re- member to have seen him take a pine knot place it in the hollow of arm at the elbow and by suddenly bringing forearm upward be split the knot into splinters and pressed out all the turpentine in a stream The narrative of Kentuck was with peals of laughter Judge became indignant and ing to his feet with clenched fist and flaming eyes exclaimed t Kentuck that's ait enormous lie SHUN There ing more beautiful in the young than simplicity of character It is frank and attractive How different is affection I The simple minded arc always natural They are at tbe Same time The affected are neVer natural And as for if they ever bad it they have crushed it out and hurried it from Bight utterly foothold on tbe projecting shelf and thereby saved himself from falling to tbe bottom But the position was anything but desirable aa be was in no way protected from the effects of the explosion while it was by almost superhuman exertions that ho kept himself from falling from tbe narrow standing place was no way to get oat and be was sore to be riddled with the shower of rocks that would arise from below Thus he stood expecting that a terrible death would meet thus in agony which must be imagined as it is too strong for description How long tbe time was he did not know but it seemed ages rother than seconds un- til a sufficient time had elapsed to in- hopo that the blast would not explode This proved eventually to be the case although be probably suffered a dozen deaths before the fact became apparent It almost seems miraculous that it did not but such most fortunately proved tbe case and Mr Norton caped a death almost too horrible to think of Be yourself then young friend t To attempt to be else is than folly It is an impossibility tain It fs contemptible to try But suppose yon could succeed in imitating the greatest man that ever figured in history would that make you any tho By You would always suffer io comparison with the imitated one and be thought of only -pa a shadow of a of a real counterfeit of a pure Dr Johnson aptly ered the

visit to the west where he was the guest of Hon Thomas As Messrs Webster and Swing were wending way to when about 7 miles from tbe town their passage was intercepted by a tree which had recently fallen across tbe road and which honest yeoman was leisurely catting out They surveyed tho premises to see how the difficulty might be overcome Our knight of An When Lord then plain John Clerk was at the bar he was remarkable for tbe sang froid with which he treated judges TOa one occasion a junior counsel on ing lordships give against bia client exclaimed that was surprised at snob a decision 1 This was construed into contempt of court and he was ordered to attend at tbe bar tbe next morning Fearful of the consequences be consulted his friend John Clerk who told him to bo perfectly at ease for be would gise for him io a way that would avert any unpleasant result Accordingly when the name of the delinquent was called Clerk rose and coolly addressed the assembled tribunal I am very sorry my lords that my young has so far forgot himself as to treat your bench with disrespect He -is penitent and yon wilt ly ascribe his unintentional insult to his You see at once that it did originate in that He said he was surprised at the decision cf Now if he had not been very ignorant of what takes place fa this ceart every day had he known you but half I have I doubt whether weaW bo at any thing
