From the Washington Chronicle.
2sot having room for the entire ad
dress of tlie Democrats in Congress to
tlie "Dear People," we are compelled
to give u simple .synopsis, which, if
not exactly correct, is what the ad
dress might be:
Wiikkeas, The selfish and ungen
erous republican party is not satisfied
with having this nation from destruc
tion and governing it for twelve years
to the great detriment of rebels and
impecunious Democrats, but is still
resolveTl to win victories in the future
as in the past; therefore,
Jicsolvcd, That we -protest against
their want of gcneiosity in holding
on to all the ofiices, and domand, in
the name of justice and empty pock
ets, a fair divide.
Resolved, That our Democratic
friends at the South be requested to
suspend Ku-Ivlux outrages for at least
F&l:cwe-,ksn previous to-the occurrence

us into the middle of it.
Ulieiolvcd, That with this lucid dec
liyation of principles, we will go be

ture, as in the nasi;, and as yesterday
in the District, of Columbia, with
faint hopes but with unremitting en
ergy, we will toil to realize the great
plans and purposes of the eminent
leaders of lSU'J, to whom we will look
with honor and with confidence; all
of which is ostensibly dedicated to
American people and to the Ameri

J. Davis. Esq.,
K. S. IIusteh,
J. R'andul,
Klux Committee.
As will be seen by the proceedings
of the Citizens' Association, publish
ed elsewhere, ex-Governor J no. Wood
has olfered his magnificent residence
in this city to the Trustees of the
Quinoy Female Seminary for educa
tional purposes. This generous offer
includes, besides the elegant structure
known as the Governor's mansion,
the entire block of giound upon
which it is located, together with the
most valuable portion of the contents
of the building. The elegant mir
rors, carpets, fixtures, etc., which
form such an attractive feature to the
ii.side of the mansion are among the
important articles included in the
gilt, which in round numbers i3 val
ued at no less thau a quarter of a mil
lion ot dollars.
We uuderstand that it has long been
the intention of the Governor to do
nate this property to the caute of ed
ueatioii and, in lact, his will contem
plated this disposition of the same,
but, desiring to see the matter consu-'
mated during his life time, he chang
ed his plans and made a lormal ten
der of the property to tlie Trustees of
the Female Seminary as above stated.
This unexpected event will at once
place Quiney in the front rank ol
western cities foi the accommodation
of pupils, and gives her the finest
building, east or west, in which to
continue the progressive meiwuj.es al
ready inaugurated in the advance
ment of education among our people.
It only remains now lor tho-e who
leel an inteiest in loitering the arts
and sciences to second this magnifi
cent donation of the Governor by se
curing to it a generous endowment.
Who among our capitalists will be
first to do iv:Quuu-i Whltj.
"Anti-Butler."
Our extremely shrewd friend Fox
headed his tickets yesterday "Anti
Jl u tier," lor the purpose of a "caicli."
A demovratic voter approached the
Third ward polls and enquired for a
ticket, and was handed the democratic-"Anti-i$utler"-Fox
ticket. He be
gan spelling out the words "A n
t i B u t 1 e r." "Is Butler a
candidate on this ticket?" says he.
"Certainly," says our friend's cham
pion. "The democrats are running
Aunty Butler." "Give me a clean
republican ticket," quoth our demo
cratic "man and brother," and he im
mediately deposited a straight repub
lican ticket in the ballot box, before
the "unterrified" had time to. attempt
an explanation. Little tricks are line
things, ain't they brother Fox?

AND
Information has been received 'a't
the ollice of the Kansas Pacific rail
road to the effect that l:ei Cloud, the
Ugallailah Chief, with some 3,000 of
his people, are south ot Fort Hays,
hunting buffalo, w hich ate very abun
dant in that region. The Indians aie
perfectly friendiy, and have permiss
ion from the Department at Washing
ton to go on the hunt; but to guard
against a possible rupture between
them and the .vhites, the troops at
Knn. riavs keen a viirilaut eye on the
movements ot the former.
The buffalo are in such numbers
that the residents" m the little colony
located in liussell county, northwest
of Fort Huvs, by Mr. Webb, of the
.National Laud Company, have killed
Hundreds, and now have a full supply
of biillalo meat. Three of the colon
ists were out hunting m the fore part
of the week. When one had a narrow
escape. He laid down in a hollow to
rest himself, when his two compan
ions wounded a bull. The enraged
Milium! rushed towards the man, who
by this time had lisen to his feet. It
pursued him some distance. The
man onlv saved himself from being
gored by phiuging into a deep ravine
and lying dowif. The bull leaped
over the ditch and pursued his mad
dened career, to the great relief of the
hunter.

The Difference.
Tlie fugitive slave law, enacted and
sustained as constitutional by the
Democratic party in lboU, was an in
vasion of Suite sovereignty as direct
and arbitrary as The Ku-Klux law
can be decently accuse.d.of 'being. , It
was an infinitely worse assault upon
liberty. It authorized the indefinite
use of military force to consign alleg
ed fugitives to the ownership of thoae
who claimed them. What Democrat
questioned the constitutionality of
that law? What. Democratic journal
tben thought that Suites were aiiiiilii
latd, the Constitution-defunct and fit
only for burial, despotism established,
and the universe on the point of col
lapsing? "Circumstances alter cas
es." That was a law for slavery.
This is a law for freedom. That was
a law of the Democratic party. This
is a law by the Uepublican parly.
That was dictated by servility to the
Southern plantation lord. This is
dictated by justice. That was there

nothing but freedom to be protected
The slave lias bfen atrociously freed

now the additional crime is perpe

that freedom and that citizenship.
Hence Democratic wrath. Hence
Democratic weeds of woe over "the

wild wail ofjeremaids throughout the
party ol tne lost cause.
These hypocritical lamentations
have but one meaning. They are an
appeal to the peiple to reinvest the
Democracy with power to serve the
Southern plantation lord by degrad

That is the whole of it. That also
is the meaning f the similar Demo

enjoining upon all, good citizens, aud
especially upon the public officers, to
be zealous in the enforcement thereof,
and warning all persons to abstain

been caused chiefly by persistent vio

tain localities lately in a state of in
surrection and military conilict, I do-
partitularly exhoit the people of that
part of the country to suppress all
such combinations by their own vol

local laws, and to maintain the rights
if all citizens of the United States,
and to Secure to all citizens equal pro

and leluctanl to call into exercise any

I will not hesitate to exhaust the pow

ever, and wherever, it shall become
necessary to do so, for the purpose of
securing" to all citizens of the United
Slates the peaceful enjoyment of the
rfghts guaranteed to them by the con
stitution and law. It is my earnest
wish that peace and cheerful obedi
ence to law may prevail throughout
the land, and that all traces of the
late unlpippy civil strife may be speed
ily removed. These ends can be easi
ly reached by the acquiescence in the
results of the conflict, now written in
our Constitution, and by a due and
proper enforcement of equal, just and
impartial laws in every part of our
country. The failure of local com
munities to furnish such means for
the attainment of the results so earn
estly desired imposes upon the Na
tional Government the duty of put
ting forth all its energies for the pro
tection of its citizens, of every face
and color, and for the restoration of
peace and order throughout tbe en
tire country. U. S. Grant.

The Country
Needs tbe
Party.
Republican
The nation and the human raee
never needed the Republican pirty
more than they do now. We have
on ly just come to understand that
the war between slavery and barbar
ism, on the one hand, and liberty and
civilization on the other, is not yet
fought out. Beaten in the open field,
the rebellion yet lives in the lawless
ness of Southern scouudrelism. Bea
ten by ballots and beaten by bullets,
it shows, like other venomous creat
ures, a wonderful tenacity of life.
Liberty is not yet established at the
South," Freedom of speech, freedom
of the press, freedom of political ac
Mons are yet hardly known there. If
the Democratic party were to come
into power to-morrow, the whole
work of reconstruction would be un
done; the franchise would he taken
from the negroes, and under some
form or other slavery or its equiva
lent would be restored.
Let us remember one thing. The
lost cause is not an abandoned causo.
When the rebellion fights us again,
it will be with the arms, the forts,
and ships, and the prestige of the
Government 'itself. When we vote
at the next Presidential election, we
vote face to face and ballot to ballot
with the rebellion. The battle of
next year will be more decisive than
the taking of New Orleans and
Vicksburgand Richmond together.
If under a Republican administra
tion the whole South is full of law
lessness, what would be the state of
things with Fernando Wood and
Sun-et ('ox in the Cabinet ? If may
ors of cities are shot, banished, aud
abducted while Grant is President,
what will be done when Hoffman
reigns? If they do these things in a
green tree, what will they do in the
dry?
The lesson of the hour is plain.
Every- patriotic consideration de
mands that Republicans should stand
by the party of liberty and human
rights. No dissatisfaction with the
President or any other leader, can
justify lukewarmness in the cause.
And we warn the administration
that it cannot aflhrd to divide the par
ty by pushing any object, how ever
desirable. JS,T. Y. Independent.

so stated in the public prints that the

of Brady, the art-history of Elliott,
the sea-legends of Hunter I bear
them all in memory, and almost see

John Van Buren was the despot of
the dinner-table He had a way of
assuming the command that made
him resistless, and he had the bear
ing, the voice, and the domination
that seemed to ive equity to the title
of "Prince," bestowed by his enemies
and adopted by his friends.
James T. Brady's massive head,
with its coronal of curls, his graceful
form, electric wit, ready rhetoric and
Irish enthusiasm how I see, and
hear, and feel them all. now that he.
too. like Van Buren. has been gath

The Presidency Mr. Scmner
and the Democrats in the Sena t e
Recent events have established a
new relation between Mr. Su-iiuer
and the Democrats of the Sftmle.
The old savage hostility has beeni
something more than an armed neu

In the old days it was rare, to sc a;
Democratic Senator in the ncighb '
hood of Mr. Sumner's chair; now
thpre is not an hour pu-se- wit to'it a
conference, always carried on. Iw

cordiality seems to exist. If M.
Sumner speaks of Mr. Thuruiaii m

resolutions or make enquiries' Mr.
Thurman or Mr. Casserly is ready to
proffer it. When the great spceeh- or

But these things have all their value
in wefgfhg the signs of the times.
