The Major's Story. .
'Tell us of that adventure of yours in
Germany," said Clayley. . ,
"Aye, the adventure in Germany,"
cried a dozen voices.
. .
"A few weeks found me traveling up
the Rhir.e.wiih a large yellow mustache
upon my lip, a staff in my hand, and on
my back a knapsack, fuch as is worn by
all German students, and persons who, in
that country, for business or for pleasure,
make journeys afoot.
When I arrived at Interlachen, I 1W
another specimen of my usual luck. The
only public houses in the place were fill
ed to repletion, while every spare bed in
the village was similarly pre-engaged. In
this state, I was told by the landlord tha:
he was willing I should occupy a room
in a crumbling ruin which was attached
to his premises, provided I could put up
with a hard board pillow, and was not
afraid of the spirits.
I accepted me offer gladly, and went
to my room '
The fatigues of the day had not been
without their effect upon me. and I was
soon deeply enwrapped in sleep. From
this I was aroused by the sound of-vows
discoursing together in earnest tones and
raising myself on my arm, I prepared to
listen.
' The first voice that reached my ear
was that of the postillion who had brought
us that day to Interlachen. With the
second I was un-acquaintd.1 but it after
wards proved to belong to the proprieior
of a rival ho'el.
'Just'f.' said the voice of the postil
lion. do yon think all this is safer-rl&t
we may accomplish this without fear of
tttecMon?'
-Onainly. replied mine host of the
rival hotel.'else I had not ventured hiih;
er at nil. I Inve not the leat notion of
putting my person in jopardy. as thou
weli knowest,'
But must the poor devil be killed
theti?' ' au.iin n.ked the postillion, as I
thought, with some ireinulousness in his
voice. ' 1
'To be sure, or where wou!d be our
revencH?' rejoined thn publican. I tt-jl
tbe Carl, if I hav rprrived one injury
from ih'? bully of the Ravnn, I have re
ceived fif'y. And shall I not have rep
aration?" -Yhs. but I have no injuries to re
dress.' said Carl.
"Dost not thou get well paid for thy
troubli. friend Carl 1 And if the shed
ding of n little blood b disagreeable to
the, think 'tis but the life of an ape that
thou takes-t. and all thy qualms of cou
science will pass over
-I confess that my blood began to boil
when I heaid myself d:stingui?hed by
this odious epithet, and nothing but th
desire of hearing thee worthies to a
close prevented my rushing in between
them in which case one or the other must
surely have fallen. ' - 1 -
-In the meantime the conversation
continued.
But how will we dispose of his bo
dy?' resumed the voice of my amiable
friend Carl.
'Oh! that is, doubtless, an easy task
We can convey it between us to the old
water-course, hard by Hennch Schlos
sen's mill, and then it will appear that he
has wandered there during the night,
and fallen in.
"Oh! the villains," I thought, with
difficulty holding my breath. A pretty
place for lodgers !
"'Do you know the, room V asked the
voice of Carl.
"Not to a certainly, but 'tis easy found
Let us look.
"And just at the moment when I was
anticipating an attack, I heard, to my in
expressible delight, their footsteps grad
ually retreating down the passage. Be
fore I could collect my thoughts, there
was a horrid yell from another quarter of
the building, and then I became convinc
ed that I was not the only tenant of my
ruined building.
'.The rourdr 3. accomplished, I
thought 'and now they will come after
me. BuVl will foil you, villains.'
Quick as the thought, I leaped from
my bed .and began groping for my clothes
but they were not there they had un
doubtedly beeu abstracted from the ap
artment during my sleep. .
"There was no, time for reflection
their footsteps were already echoing on
the staircase. I rushed to the windovy, I
looked from it and findmg that jt was on
ly a few feet from the ground, 1 dropped
-not exactly upon the ground, but into
a briar bush, in the centre of which was
located an enormous hornet's nest. You
may laugh, gentlemen," continued "the
Major, good humoredly, "but to me it
was no laughing matter I assure you.
Indignant ut this unwarrantable invasion
of their stronghold, the hornets muster
ed their forces, and forthwith fastened
themselves upon all ihe more exposed
parts of my person. , '
"Frantic with rage and half madden
ed with pain, I scrambled through the
briars as well as I was able, and ran as
fast as my legs would carry me to the
house of the magistrate where I arriv
ed in a few minutes.covered with scratch
es and bleeding at every pore, from the
javelins of my diminutive antagonists.
"The justice was in bed, and my ap
pearance, accoutred as I was, before his
astonished maid servant, frightened her
out of her senses. She ran up stairs
screaming "murder! thieves!" &c, as
loud as she could bawl. Her master, not
being of the bravest possible disposition,'
and fancying that there was just grounds
for her conjectures, sprang a huge fami
ly rattle, and launched at me from the
top of the staiicase, the contents of a
washbasin, which had upon me the effect
of a showe'r-bath. and. considerably as
suaged the pain of my wounds.
I turned to flee; but all escape was cut
off; armed with shovels, pokers, tongs.
brooms, and what not, the household had
me hemmed in. and' obitructed my pas-
age. A monster blunderbluss, consider
ately pointed at me by the master of the
house, did not greatly contribute to my
comfort during this trying scene. At
length, overcome by the accumulation of
my miseries, I 'fell to the grcund, and
immediately became oblivious.
When ! recovered my senses, which
was some fifteen ' minutes afterwards, I
found myself lying upon a setted, bound
down with cords and ropes, and still sur
rounded by my enemies, who had not re
linquished their weapons, but seemed to
be waiting 'the moment of my recovery
to again assail me. , . ,
"At length, however believing myself
already a dead man, 1 managed to make
myelf heard, and recounted to them my
adventure at the inn. The magistrate
now condescended to descend the siairs,
and to question me in person with re
gard to. my late 'mishaps, my answer be
ing taken down 'in' writing by a notary
who liv 'in " the house, and the whole
being conducted with the solemnity of an
auiodefe.
. By this ti"ne they wer well convinced
of my veracity, and it being no w broad
daylight, my' wounds were dressed. som
comfortable clothing was .afforded me.
and a party was gotten up for hn pur
pose of insti uing a search, which I, of
course, accompanied. . '
The awful moment arrived. All In
terlachen was astir. We approach the
null rare. and. looking around - I per
ceived that Dot only the inhabitants of the
place were there,1 "but 'hf numerous for
eigners were also abroad at a much ear
lier hour than their wont, and. were in
tently gnzing into th water, where a do
zen laborers were dragging the race.. '.
For som moments . there was an in
tense silence. At ;lenth a voice cried
out, "We have i!'' and the tnn -attach
ed to one of the boats began to poll up
their drags, in a manner which showed
that some heavy body was attached.
The crowd drew nearer not a syla-
ble iva uttered the magistrate and his
functionaries were prespiring with agi
tation The drag had reached the sur-
face of the water there was a cheer
from the boat, as a large, dark body was
drawn into one of them, and this was suc
ceeded by a universal roar, a perfect
scream of laughter.
The body thus exposed to view was on
ly that of ihe landlord's monkey.
This animal a heavy, muscular crea
ture of the Chimpanzee speoies had
been a great favorite of mine host at the
Raven, and had drawn more than one
customer to his home by his antics. -
This excited the jealousy of his rival.
and hence the bloody result which lol
lowed.1
Major Blossom was greeted at his con
clusion by a hearty peal ot mirth, not
less than that which had saluted the dis
covery of the monkey, and he was voted
on all hands a capital fellow.

Speeeii by sen. Tiiajer.
Baltimore.Md., Nov. 1, 9 45 P.M.
A urard Republican, mass meeting.was
held to-night in the assembly roums in
this citv, at which a large concourse of
our Union citizens were assembled Sen
ator Thayer of Nebraska Judge Hugh
L. Bond. Hon. J. J. Stewart, and Hon.
Archibald Sterling addressed the meet
ing. Great enthusiasm' prevailed, and
the sentiments of the speakers were of
ten greeted with applause.
thayer's speech.
The rebellion presented two problems
or solution. One was, "Can the Gov
ernment put down armed treason?"
James Buchanan and Jerry Black said it
could not. Mr. Lincoln said it could.
The issue was made. Armed treason
ound the last ditch, and surrendered.
The problem was solved. Appomattox
Courthouse furnished the solution. The
other problem is. "Can the Government
put down unarmed trea?on?" That is
now being solved, aud the country waits
thessue.
When the conflict of arms ceasedjtn 65
you had reason for believing that you
had achieved a victory which would be
lasting your arms had triumphed hn
the rebels of the South had submitted to
the Government of the country, bin i'
seems that it was otherwise disposed.
The conflict was only traosFerred from
the field to the ballot-box, and the K-sue.-
bad tobe tried there again in the autumn
of 1S66. The question then really was
whetner we were conquerors, or whether
we must receive terms from the conquer
ed. Such was the issue then presented.
which resulted directly from the defection
of one who had been honored by the suf
frages of the loyal people of the loyal
Stales! I mean Andrew Johnson. By
his defection the rebles in 1S66 were led
to claim that they were the victors, that
they would come into Congress to make
laws and dictate terms to the people who
had shed so much blood and expended so
much treasure to preserve the Govern
ment. IT WAS A DEMOCRATIC REBELLION.
Those who brought about the war were
Democrats. 1 do not say that all Demo
crats are rebels; but 1 do say that all reb
els are Democrats,anu every one of them
would vote the Copperhead ticket in every
Northern State.. Wilkes Booth, if alive.
and every murderer of our brave boy
in Andersonville and Libby would vote
for the Conservative nominees.
Now, what has been the record of the
Democratic party, even during the war ?
I assert that as an organization, it has
been disloyal from April. 1S61, to thi?
hour.. It did no: stand by the Govern
ment, but it tried by every means in its
power, to thwart the Government in its
efforts to suppress ihe rebellion. If ther
is a Democrat present, let me ask hirnto
point to one single resolution ever adopt
ed by the Democratic party, giving a cor
lial support to, the war. and denouncing
he rebellion. I never read one. There
were members of the Democratic party
who were loyal, some of them, but I am
-peaking of that party a"an organization
Dd you, ever hear of ihem passing reso
lutions giving cordial support to thi Gov
t-rtmieni in its efforts to suppress the re
be.llion ? iNot one. Did you ever find or
read ia any' one of the lending Demo
cratic papers an editorial cordially en-
lorsing ihe Government, giving courage
and. ounienauce to our armies in the
field ? .
RECORD OT THE DEMCP ACT OK THE SLA
' ' VERY QUESTION.
Now. m friends. Jet me take up the rec
ord of the Democratic party in another as
pect ori the slavery question; and from
that record I draw ihe inference that that
party is not safe to be trusted with the
d rn i ni.t ration of public affairs to-day.
You recollect when the question of the
admission of Kansas and Nebraka was
before the American people in 1S54 and
S55. in order to let in a slave State the
Missouri e.onipromise was repealed, a
measure which had been adhered to as a
sacred compact for thirty year? and over,
never a neiition coming up fro.n even a
couniy meeting asking for the repeal of
that measure. The South demanded it
in order that slavery night go free into
free territory. The Democratic party of
the North had yielded everything which
the South demanded on the slavery ques
tion; aye. and not an act could be passed
unless the question was agitated what
effect it would have upon Southern slav
ry; and the Northern Democrats would
al vays yield to the Democrats of the
South, and they yielded in this instance.
The Northern Democracy yielded up the
Mi-souri Compromise in order that slav
ery might go into that territory which
had been consecrated to human freedom
Then it fold itself at the shrine of the
Southern masters. Then the Republican
party came into being, on the great prin
cipal that there should be no more slave
soil, but on the contrary, that every foot
of territory that was then free should re
main forever free, and nobly has the
party sustained that principle and made
it effective; and they have been the means
of accomplishing more of wiping out
the curse of human slavery. I asert
that in every instance where the i?sue
has been made the Democratic party is on
the record as against the cause of human
freedom and in favor of human slavery.
When the amendment was before the
House of Representatives, abolishing sla
very in the South, the Democratic party,
with a fen exceptions, voted against the
adoption of that amendment, and then,
when the amendment was submitted to
the Legislatures of every single North
ern Siate, as a party they voted ogiinst
the ratifying that great ordinance of hu
man freedom. In every instance where
the issue has been the Democratic party
a a party, have taken the ground on the
fide of slavery and against the cause of
freedom. For toe last thirty years thei.
doctrine has been that slavery whs t n
tional institution and freedom vas
tional institution, reserving the true doc
trine that freedom was national and sla
very sectional. Thus I say that the Dem
ocratic party has shown itself by its rec
ord unfit to be charged with the adminis
tration of public affairs. The Republi
can party, by its record on the slavery
question, by its record on the side of the
war. is the party to be intrusted with the
administration of the public affairs ; and
if it is true to itself it will be charged
yet with the administration of public affairs.
UNIVERSAL StrfRAOlJ.
General Thayer next presented a clear
and logical'train of argument in favor of
universal suffrage. He regarded n as a
fundamental principle that every man of
sound mind and proper age, who obeys
the laws, is entitled to an equal voice in
the legislation of the Government; that
the humblest individual that walks upon
God's footstool is as noble in the sight of
tHe law as kings and princes. He spoke
of the colored soldiers from his own per
sonal exprience, having had four regi
ments cf them in his command ; he Uur-w
them to have served their country nob!'
and well.and never, while he reme-iibr
ed the trying sceues through which they
had passed with him, could he refuse
them the full rights of citizens.
President Johnson's Speed:.
Washington, November 14.
The following is a sppech delivered by
the President at the serenade given him
last night by tne conservative Army and
Navy Union:
Fellow Citizens: I: is not my in
tention to make a speech upon this occa
sion, but simply to tender you my thanks
for this demonstration, a demonstration
in approbation of what your fellow citi
zens have declared iu the recent electiou
in the various States of the Union. They
will appreciate your response to what
they have done and send back greeting
that the union of theStates must be main
tained according to the. original design of
our fathers. 1 confess 1 am gratified
but not surprised at the result of the re
cent elections. I have always had un-
doubting confidence in the people. They
may sometimes be misled by ihe lying
spirit in the mouths of the prophets, but
never perverted, and in the end they are
always right. In the gloomiest hour
through which I have passed, tnd many
of them. God knows, have bee i dark e-
nough, whenever our constitution wa3 in
the utmost peril, when our free institu
tions were assailed by a formidable force
and our great republic seemed to be tot
tering to its fall, and when I felt how
vain were my efforts, alone to preserve
those institutions in their integrity and to
save the republic from ruin, I was still
hopeful. I had still abiding cor.fi lence in
them, and I felt assured that they in their
tnight would come to the rescue. They
have come and thank God they have,
come., and that our republic may ye; be
saved. It was but the other dy t iat 1
officially declared that the remedy for
the present nnh;ppy condition of the
country must come from the people them
selves. They know what that remedy is
and know it is to be applied at the pres
ent time. They c;tnnot according to the
forms of the Constitution, repeal obnox
ious laws. They cannot remove or control
