i i i i 3 1 OI COnUUCfe euuilllju; uhhu ucuDiua THE BACK COWS. Alexander H. Stephens, of Georgia, is credited with the assertion that the democratic party has never been committed to position that the supplies should be withheld in case of the veto of any of the political measures incorporated as riders the appropriation bills. The question attaching the riders was only one of policy, to which he was opposed, but as the majority of his party insisted he acquiesced he does not therefore now consider it any backing down to introduce the riders as separate bills or to pass the appropriations waether the President vetoes the political legislation or not. Mr.

Stephens can, perhaps, consistently nse this language; but Messrs. Beck, Blackburn, and other hot-heads who dis tinctly threatened to starve the government into submission to the political legislation could not talk as Mr. Stephens does without swallowiug a good deal of crow. They therefore judiciously stay in the background while such moderates as Mr. Stepheus are put forward as exponents of the mollified democratic policy.

This lets the revolutionary democrats down easier, bnt it is none the less an admission of a square back-down. The democratic caucus bill as passed the house yesterday without amendmert reads aa follows, the words in brackets being the words stricken out of the existing law BccTion 2,003 No military or naral ofEc-r or other person engaged in the military or naral e-r-vioe uf tbe United (States (ball order, bring, keep have under his authority or control any United tttates tioups at the p'aoe where any general or special election is held in any state, no ess it be necessary to repel tbe armed eneroia-of the United elutra. 'r to krrp the penrt at thrpotli. Sec. 5,528.

Every tfioer of the army or nary or outer person in the 'ii'U military or naral service of the United States who orders, brings, keeps ha. under bis aothori'y or control ny troops armtd men at any place where a general or election is held in any state, unless soeh force be necessary to repel armed enemies of the United States at the polls, shsll be fined not more than 5,0 aud sutler imprisonment, at bard labor, not leas than tnree months nor mure than fire years. It will be seen that while the statutes. as amended, prohibit the use of troops at the rxll. thev do not interfere with the right of a civil officer, that is to say, United States marahi 1 or his deputy, to summon a jxtsxe of armed men to keep the peace at the polls.

This, in connection with the existiug election law (which the democrats propose to repeal by the rider on the legislative, appropria tion bill which has passed the house) will leave the executive ample power to pro tect the ballot-box wherevi a civil officer can summon a prsse to do so. In a bull -zed district of the South the authority would not amount to much neither did the right to employ troops amount to anything in such districts in the recent elec tions. But it will BuQice for protection against fraud in New York and Cincinnati, which are the mam objective points. The president, therefore, may sign this separate army bill without surrendering any of the positions taken by him in his late message vetoing the army bill. It is reported that he has an nounced his intention to sign it, and we can readily credit the report.

But that he will veto the legislative bill with its politi cal rider, and also that rider when pre sented as a separate measure, no one who has carefully read his veto message can doubt. He will thus maintain his consistency and the broad principle of the right of the federal govern ment to guarantee its citizens a free ballot and enforce that guarantee by physi cal force whenever and wuerever neces sary. Then if the democrats carry out the programme indicated by Mr. Stephens and pass the appropriations notwithstand ing the vetjes, their surrender will be complete, and the position of Mr. Hayes impregnable.

He canuot be accused on the one hand of vetoing measures from mere partizan motives, nor on the other of fail ing to stand up for the just assertion and maintenance of the national authority. Gen. W. D. Washbnru, of this district, has introduced several important measures in the house affecting the interests of his constituents in Minnesota, among which are the following: A bill to authorise tbe Dal nth Jt Winnipeg rail road company to extend its line through the tied Lake and 1 em tuna reserTatior.s, by treaty between the Indians, the Unit States government, and tte officers of the railroad, providing that the treaty nhail be made ia three years and the road cumuleu-d in ten years.

A so. a bill to authorize the secretary ot the in to ascertain the am unts due to citizens of tbe United Htates for supplies furnished to the Sioux or LttUL- ta ln-' ians I Minni-aota subsequent augtiKt, 1-6U, anil onor to the mawacre of Au gust, 1K62, and providing fr the p-iment thereof, and arpropriating to carry out its provisions. Also, a bill providing that the poblio lands within railroad limits which have heretofore been anbi to pre-emption entry at i 4.50 pe- acre are herrby reduced i l-zo per acre, aud all b-ma file ttl-rs under the homestead lsws on sai lands aball be allowed to enter 160 acres thereof. Abo, a lull to restore to the public domain all the Kort Uipley reservation, excepting ihe tracts designated in tbe executive order of August 1875. and making them subject to entry by actual settlers nnder tbe pre-emption and bomesb-ad laws at the rate of 1.25 per acre, and preserving the rights ot actual settlers now occupying t' lands.

Also a bill for the relief of settlers on the "iJ-aineni Branch." so called, it ratfiea and makes valid the relinquishment by the of Min nesota of rtain lands, and also alt pa enta bere-t issued to claimants under the homestead and pre-emption ltwa, and allowa settlers who hsve not neritofore entered ta- lr lands to do so at 11. to per a re. Aa there will be no legislation other than of gen-ral significance at the present session, tnese bills will go over until December; but they will then be in shape for early consideration and passage. Attention is directed to the peculiarly interesting charge of Judge Swing, else- here printed, in the case of C. C.

Wash- bum against the Western Insurance Company of Cincinnati, the verdict in which has heretofore only been printed, The instructions prepared by the attorneys for the plaintiff which the judge declined to give, will be found as interesting as those be submitted for the guidance of the jury. The millers of Min neapolis will do well to cut out this charge and put it in their safes for future refer, ence. It shows em phatioally that insurance companies are liable for the full loss occasioned by a fire the result of which may be an explosion, as in the case of the Washburn mill. The action of the insur ance companies which promptly and honorably settled their losses without a con test, is seen by this decision to have been but a wise anticipation of the finally inev itable. There are frequent inquiries as to what is the present status of the Wash burn- Donnelly contest.

The papers of the contestant and respondent have been duly re ceived by the speaker, and referred to the committee on elections. This action has probably been hastened by Mr. Washburn himself, who desires to get the incubus off his hands. There is not the remotest possibility that anything serious will arise in this contest to disturb Mr. Washburn in his possession of his rights as a represen tative of this district, though in due time the case will be taken up and disposed of on its merits.

Yon know tbe quality of Moznt's music sustains I simple action, with intricacies only in the effects. Tbe accompaniment precedes tbe vcosl strain in the Seraglio Song for five minutes or more.

Her face waa engaging and kindly, her eyra gentle and sympathetic, her hair simply rolled np and back, and altogether sbe looked hke a sensible American girl of a type as esteemed as it is unusual. Suddenly there came a softening ot tbe instrumentation, tbe notes dying down to a mere cadence, the podgy form of Fasdelonp suspended its waildlti action, tbe sensuous strings of the minor violins swelled ont in the air, when the delicate mellow notes of tbe bird broke out in a gradually broadening force, hke the gashing melody of tbe lark aa it hangs in the skyi "pouring forth its full strain of unpremeditated art." Tbe languid interest of tbe audience took fire in an instant. The Mate youths in tbe lower tribune ceased ogling their neigh bors. The old concert goers braced np and fastened their lorgnettes on the placid fitrore on tbe stage, from whose throat swelled and trilled sound after sound, wave after wave of music, so delicate, soft snd intense That it seemed an echo within the sense. The unpretending woman, from whom these mysteries of sound paoceeded, made no effort, sbe seemed even nnooncious of what most be the most exquisite enjoyment ot an artist the rapture of a visible revolution in senti ment; tbe perfectly apparent change in tbe demeanor of so conservative a body as a musical audience.

Tbe little purled its delicate cadences to au end. The singer folded her sheet.

Daring tbe iJay Har rington sat down to a game of cards, which cocilinoed nntil the afternoon, when a dispute arose between tbe two. and resulted in break ing up the game.

Well, lie did not say what one, bat on Thursday morning, on awaking from a sound Bleep, sometime about two o'clock, the Lord appeared to me and informed me that the victim of tbe sacri fice was my pel, my idol, ray baby Edith. I awoke my wire and wa talked the matter over snd prayed to the Lord for guidance and di rection, an I if it was God w.ll that tbe cup might pass from me, and ended op by saying. God's will be done.

Tbe Lord said tbat it was necessary, snd so I arse went out of doors to my shop and got a sheath knife. I then came in, and placing the lamp on the chair near tbe bed, I drew back tbs clothes aud raised my hand to strike the blow, fully believing the Lord would stay my hand, but he did not, and the knife descended. My darling turned as the knife struck her, and lifting ber bands and opening bcr eyes said, papa My oldest child became awakened, and waa tken by my wife to our bed, and I took tbe little victim of the Lid's into my arms and held her nntil she d.ed. I then went to bed tb my dead darling, and in the morning I sent several notes to tbe neighbors for them to come to a meeting that afternoon. When the company assembled I told them the whole story, and tbey agreed tbat I did right.

What I did was at God's direction, aud I am content to leave tbe matter in his hands, confident that he will guide and direct me. Secretary Sherman' View. Interview at Mansfield.

Of coarse this will be construed, as usual, into a "vindication of The Dispatch," which declared its previous issne that then were "tremen- dous issoos at stake." The New York Tribune would like to have congressional speeches eliminated from the Record. In our opinion a great mistake.

Tbe Record is tbe most infallible agent known of showing to unhappy constituencies what incorrigible donees a large number of them are in the habit of sending to congress. It is stated npon excellent authority that the occasion of tbe violent opposition oi tne gorgeous Boscoe Conk ling to tbe marriage of his daughter, lies in bis unfeigned and holy horror of the bare possibility of his becoming grandfather which nukes his ease a pitiable one indeed. Tbe St. Paul Dispatch of Monday says the defeat of the high school project "would bring stigma on the city which it would take long years to remove." Well, the project is defeated, and if Tbe Dispatch is authority, the stigma will stick. Tbe Syracuse Courier, (dem.) wants to know whether the democrats in congress will stand by their guns?

London Telegraph. A very curious story is going the round of tbe papers to-day. Four years sgo. a tailor married the daughter of an artillery colonel, and lived happily with her for a twelvemonth, at the end of which period he went for a few days ta Belgium on busiuees. On his return tbe wife was nowhere to be found, bnt a month later tbe tailor and his friends reoocnized her.

aa tbey imagined, in the eorf.se of a yonng woman who bad been picked np at Auteuil. Unable any longer to continue in Paris, tbe tailor went to New York, where, two years af terwards, be married aain. In the month of January tbe new couple came to Paris and rented an apartment in tbe Avenue riedland. LcBt Wednesday as the tailor was walking in the Champs Eiyseea he raw a lady, who looked marvelously hke his first wife, driving in a handsome equipage, and binng a cab, be followed ber to a hotel in the Avenue D'Ejlao, There an explanation took place. It was in deed bis first wife, who declared that she had been kidnapped and kept in ignoble seclusion for three months by a man whose name sbe had never been able to ascertain.

-Minneapolis, Minm A BEHABKASLE CASK. Henry Kiddle, gentleman considerably past middle age, who has been regarded as a man of great ability aud unusually strong common sense, is Superintendent nt -linnlH the citv of Xew York. This is a position of preat importance and usefulness, and Mr. K. has discharged its duties to the satisfacsion of all.

In fact, he has been held up as a model educator and superintendent. His wise and useful course of life, reaching over quarter ot a eratnrv. has not brought him into national prominence; but he has recently done a very foolish thing which has sent his name echoing through the newspapers from one end of the country to the other. A couple of years ago he began to take an interest in spiritualism. His son and daughter developed as "mediums." Through them he began to receive communications from disembodied spirits of all ranks and conditions, from Shakespeare, Napoleon and Pope Pius IXth down to the uafamed departed; and of all eras, from tbe prophet Moses down to the poet Bryant.

These he has recently published ia a book and vouches for their genuineness with all seriousness. His hallucination has surprised the whole community of Sew York, as he was thought to be the last man who would be the victim of so gross a delusion. The question now agitating Gotham is whether his de lusion has not so unsettled his mind as to render him unfit to discharge his duties as the head of the educational system of the city, and therefore should he not be dis missed. On this the public and scliooi corn, missioners are much divided. It is alleged that he has been a spiritualist for two yearr.

And yet has discharged his duties with the same efficiency as before that he should not be persecuted because of his religious belief, Ac On the other hand, his book is for the most part 'so maudlin and silly, eo illogical and indicative of a mind saturated with an idiotic superstition, that it would seem that whatever practical ability or common sense the man may have originally possessed must be completely par-alyjvd. The New York papers publish voluminous extracts from the alleged communications authenticated by Mr. Kiddle. We hare perused them carefully, and can therefore endorse The Herald's characterization of them as "utter twaddle," and not at all like the utterances we should have a light to expect from ttie master-tpirits of the human race. The alleged new poems of Shakespeare and Byron are simply A mass of hobbling doggerel and empty rubbish.

-eon a-d Newton are made to talk in the manner of enthusiastic ew converts at Mr. Moody's revreal meetings, and the divine Mozart falls below Mr. cVinkey in his ideas of The Pope Pio N- no and the late Archbishop Hashes like Aiming Protestants, and can hardly be omiune by the fiercest rieno-mcers of the 'S -ar-i-tt Woman.1 1 he impertnbable Franklin has become a gushing religious spooler.

Stewart plaintively bewails his fate as a despised millionaire," occupying a position of unea.siness betwixt a good and bad state, as yet a meagre spectre because while on earth he neglected to use his wonderful opportunities for He is in hopes, however, of something bet ter iu time. Old Moses utters a melancholy wail because, while he "meant to teach." he "blocked up the way with a feeling of hatred instead." Iu an interview with a Tribune reporter Mr. Kiddlrt said: "Those who go to my to criticize it by intellectual light "will never get anything out of it." We should say not.

If Shakespeare, Byron, Bacon, Franklin, Bryant, Fio "Nouo and a host of other resplendent intellects whose alleged productions and conversations are given in this book have so degen erated and become such imbeciles and driv ellers in the spirit land, there is not much to stimulate human ambition for immortality. Such a future life as Kiddle's book pictures is not worth having. It is very different from the perfect life prom ised bv our Savior aa the inheritance of the righteous. Perhaps we ought not to be surprised at any manifestation of religious phantasy. however unexpected.

The superstitious element is so ingrained in human nature. and its workings so subtle and mysterious that the brightest and most firm-set lutel-lects are not exempt from hallucination. He who speculates is lost iu the mazes of the unknown.

PAUL EJECTION. The municipal election in St. Paul yes terday resulted in the success of the dem ocrat city ticket, consisting of Wm. Dawson for mayor, William P. Murray for city attorney, John W.

Kocbe, (the candidate of both parties,) for comp troller, and F. A. lienz for city treasurer. The result has no political significance, for the reason that Metcalt, though nom inally a republican and a very good man, has been everything by turns aud nothing Ion and by bis political somersaults and bolti has made himself obnoxious to both parties. He bolted both King and Stewart for congress, and the latter, who has a good deal of strength in St.

Metealf was also particu larly obnoxious to the officeholders and olice seekers of both parties for his con spicuous efforts in the interest of a reduc tion of s.laries and of municipal expenses of every kind. Such men are not popular at municipal elections, and he proved no exception, banbora, lor city attorney. came six hundred nearer an election, and would probably have squeezed in but for tbe general heaviness of the ticket which sunk all bauds along with the commander. The result would have been different had Gen.

Averill, the nominee of the republican convention, accepted the honor. Ba he declined it, and Metealf was finally substituted by the republican committee As sort or loriorn nope, rue conse quence is that the only gain that the re publicans have to score is that of two aldermen. The city officers elect are the old incumbents, and are regarded in the main as excellent men for their respective positions.

Following is the principal portion of tbe charge of Judge Swing, sitting in the United States circuit court at Cincinnati, in the case C. C.

Washburn (gainst tbe Western Insur ance Company: I be defendant asks tbe following special charges: l. we ask tbe conn to instruct the jury that nnder tbe policy sued npon in this case, the plaintiff can only recover for snch loss ss he bas shown was caused to the Washburn Mill by fire; tbat the term "loss by fire" is to he understood by tbe jury aa including such tosses omy aa are commonly ana ordinarily understood by the community as "losses by tire. Tbis I decline to give. 2. That the defendant was not liable for any loss wbicb was caused to said mill by ex plosion; and by tbe term the jury are to understand tbat very rapid combustion.

accompanied by a very sadden and great ex pansion of the air or gases, and followed by a report; in other words, that tbs term "explo sion" is to be understood in its common and ordinary signification. This also I decline to give. S. That the defendant is not liable for aloes by fire, which tire was immediately a directly caused by an explosion, or resulted there from. This I give you.

4. That if tbe jury are unable to find by pre ponderating evidence, whether the loss was caused by fire or by explosion, or how far tbe loss was caused by fire, then their verdict must be for tbe defendant. This, also, I give you. 5. Tbat if tbe Washburn Mill was filled by an explosive substance, and that explosive substance was touched off by a spark, or by the flame of a lamp, or by a flame caused by sparks to tbe woodwork, which latter name did no knnwn or appreciable damage to the mill, but tbat the said sparks or name caused the explosive substance in tbe mill to explode, and tbis explosion threw down the mill and its and set tbe woodwork on fire, then tbe defendant is not liable for tbe injury done to tbe mill and machinery by such explosion, or by fire caused by or resulting from such ex plosion.

Ibis 1 decline to give. 6. That tbe exception iu tbe policy relating to explosion is as valid aud binding upon tbe a ntiff as any other part of tbe policy, and that tbs jury cannot tike consideration whether the plaintiff knew tbat the condi tion was in tbe piliov or not tbat tbe plaintiff, having accepted the policy obtained by bis agent, and brought suit up it, ia bound by its provisions, and by that relating to explosion as weal as the otbeis. Tbis I give von. I.

That if the destruction of this mill and its machinery was caused by an explosion. which was tbe efficient, predoniinatiog, con- trolling cause of tbs destruction, then the de fendant is not liable, ven though said explo sion was caused by a fire, and said fire waa prior in time to said explosion, and without bicb said explosion would not bave occurred. Tbis I declms to give. 8. That if tbe dettruct'on of said mill and its machinery was caused by au explosion, wbicb exclusion was cawed by a fire, and said explosion was the efficient, predominating, con trolling cause of the disaster, then delendant 18 not liable for any da mage done by the explo sion, nor for fire which was ensuod from said explosion, and which fire may hare destroyed tbe debris ot said mill ana machinery.

Tuts 1 decline to give. I don't think it is necessary, gentlemen of tbe jury, in this ca-e, to go into any extended discussion of tbe relation of cause and eff-ct. or of the phiios iphieal vmou or sabdivirion of causes aud ibe telations to each other snd of their ultimate r-Iation to the eSect produced. Bach a RCieutinc snd philosophical disqaisi lion wou'd result in no valuable purpose iu en abling yoa to discharge your duty in this par ticnlar case. Interesting at they are to scientists, and val nable aa tbey ar, and necessarily so, many i.

Ia other words, it may bo a cause which has set other causes tn motion. which, by their unsevered and continued ac tion with each other, bas rodooed the effect.

in this case, if there was a Ore, and it pro duofcd an explosion, and tbat explosion con tributed in a Very large degree to tbe destruc tion ot the property insured, tbe fire never theless would be tbs proximste causa, and would be the agent to wuich the result must be attributed, the cause which produced the euect. On the other hand, if the destruction tbis property was produced by tbe explosion of any combustible or explosive substance, if tbat ws the cau'e which produced tbe de Btrneuon of the property, if that was the cau-e which threw it down, and it the tire re sulted from tba. which caused its ultimate de struction, or the destructioa of any portion of it, and tbat explosion was occasioned by spark or by a oime from a candle or a lamp. then tbe explosion would bs the proximate cause which produced tbe result, and tbe plain tiff in tbis ca-e would not be entitled to re cover at the bands of the defendant. So that ihe whole qnes ion for yon to deter mine, nuder tbe instructions which I have given you.

Is one puiely of fact, whether there was tn tbis mill a fire, and from tbe result of that fire an explosion ensued by which tbis property was destroyed. ilia detenaant by its contract agreed to in demnify tbe plaintiff against damage or loss from fire to the building and machinery of a Hour mill, and the policy directly designates such property as specially hazardous. What ever was therefore, necessarily connected with tbe building and machinery and their nse in the manalactnre of llour, or neces anly growing out of and resulting from such use, by wbicb tbe property would be rendered more liable to fire than ordinary property, must be held to bave been in the contemplation of the defendant at tbe time of tbe issuing of the licy, and it mnnt be held to have contracted in di rect reference thereto. Therefore, if. in tbe case of a building and machinery used in tbe manufacture of flonr, the building wonld become filled with Sour dust, which by its character would be highly inflammat'le, and if, nuder such circumstances, a fire broke ont in tbe mill, and by its rapid progress and beat brought tbe dnst and tbe air in such a condition and in such relations to each other as to make them explosive, and they were by each fire exploded, the loss would be a loss by fire within the terms and meaning oi this policy, snd the defendant would be liable for it.

As a matter of course, the plain tiff must satiaty yoa by a preponderance of evidence that there was a loss by fire, applying it to tne particulars in tne case. 1 be plaintiff must satisfy you, by the preponderance of tbe evidence, that a fire existed in the mill, and it ia for yon to determine. from all the facts and circumstances of the case, where the preponderar.ee of the evidence lies. If, taking all the facta and circumstances in the case together, the preponderance of tbe evi dence satisfies yon tbat snch a fire did exist, and tbat it produced tbe explosion, then tbe defendant is responsible to tbe plaintiff, nnder tne rules wnicn i nave given you. As to the extent of tbe responsibility, if tbere was a total loss of the property, tbat is.

a total loss of the building and a total loss of tne machinery, ss a matter of course the de fendant would be liable to the full amount of of the policy of insurance, with interest from sixty days from tbe date at which the proofs of loss were xumisnea.
