in which they are resolved to exercise it.
In the barrooms and over the dinner table
principles were avowed which, under other

and to be amue l r.r.d made satisfied with
ua apparent prosperity.
This is the end and aim of the H.vdleul
conspiracy, to which impeachment is only
one of the preliminary 6tep. Tho dicta
torship of Grnnt will be nominal only, and
the real power will be in t lie Senate, with
It.-n Wadi at its head. The appointments

cfiict, no voice will be raised in vetoes to
expose tlw true character of Radical legis

strike down what little of protection yet
remains tt the people in the barriers of the

all opposition and to enforce a Keign of
Terror to which the experience of 18G2
and 13G3 will be but a tri.'le. The con
spirators cite the case of Louis Napoleon
in support of their argument that boldness
only is required to turn into an absolutism

not go backwards, and its last acts, which
are here foreshadowed, will come as
surely as military rule, negro supremacy,
the usurpation of the constitutional powers

Washington, Apill 16, 18G8.
Sergeant Hates called upon the Presi
dent to-day to perform what he considered
a very agreeable duty. That duty, he
said, was to deliver to the President the
kind messages for the Chief Magistrate of
the nation which he had received in the
swamps and in the woods uloii' the
stretches of pine forests through wid h his
route now and then lay, at the lonely
farm houses and in the villages, cities and
towns. "Tell the President," paid a gray
haired man, ' that we are praying f r
him." "Say to him," said bun Ire'da,

as I was making my way out of tho city.
and with tho tea? 8 coursing her che ks,
said, as she took my hand, 'Tell Andrew
Johnson that he has the earnest prayers
of the matrons of Virginia for his welfare
and happiness.' Grajjhaired men. tremb
ling with aC invoked upon President
Johnson Heaven's Messing. Just be
yond Montgomery, in Alabama, ray fl ig
was decorated with flowers ar.d a laun.1
wreath by a young lady, who said to her
mother, as she returned to mi ruy colors,
I wish 1 could send with Sergeant Bates
a bouquet to President Johns ml' They
i would dismiss schools to meet me, and
many of the little girls would want to
kiss me anl to wave my flag. My rooms
have been decorated with evergreens, and
in North Carolina girls strewed my way
with flowers and pinned bouquets upon
my breast. In passing through North
Carolina and Virginia, I bad a bouquet
in my hand evrry hour of the day. I
honestly believe, sir that in every S:atc
through which I passed in my Ions
journey I could raise a thousand men for
th defence cf the flag as quickly as 1
could anywhere in the entire Ui ion. I
have taken by the hand dozens of ex-confederate
soldiers whose warm grasp,
quivering 'lip and moistened eyes could
not lie. In Georgia, for instance, I met
a man who had served in the rebel armies,
and who had b'en watching for me along
the road. 1 1-3 had been engaged in chop
ping wood. I accompanied him to Ins
home, distant about two miles. On the
way he t ld me the grave of his brother,
who had fallen in the rebel cause, wns
not far from the roadside. I went with
him to the spot. He stood upon onj side
of tLe grave and I upon the other. A
plain wooden head board marked the
place, and as I was reading, the inscrip
tion he asked why such a bad fctate of
feeling ehould continue to prevail
ll?aching his hand over the grave .of his
brother, I clasped it ; and will any oue
day I did wrong in taking by the hand
one against whom I had fought, but who
now was wil ing to stand by the old flag?"
At the request of the President the ser
geant explai ied the circumstances under!
which he had undertaken the long jour
ney which he has just concluded "Per
sons," said he, "made assertions whuh I
believed to be both foolish and unfounded.
I contradicted them, saying that I did net
care for their individual opinions ; but as
pei haps thousands believed as they did I
would make a proposition that, if carried
out, would disprove their theory. I
thereupon made an offer to do what I
have done. I did not think my proposi
tion would be accepted, nor did the
principal person of those to whom I refer
think I would dare to carry out my plan.
II, however, at onre accepted my offer
and dared mo to fulfill its terms. He had
declared, for instance, that if the govern
ment would withdraw the military forces
from the South and leave the flag flying
the Union soldiers would hardly be out of
sight before the color would be torn down
anJ trampled in the dust. I replied that
I was a poor man, that I was not ia a
con Jltion to give me a dollar a day for my
family while I was gone I would go to
Vicksbuig and would a'one, unarmed, and
without money carry tho American flag
from that place to Washington. I was
told that my lite would not be worth a
cent ; that, Indeed. I would never be per
mitted to leave Vicksburg alive- Arti
cles of sgrcement were drawn up, and I
was dared to sign them. 1 did so, and
thus bound myself to their performance.
I went home, thought over the matter,
saw that was a novel enterprise and would
attract some attention, but did not think
it would receive the notice it has. I felt
sure I would bo treated well, and that
the flag would be respected ; but I had no
ide the people would take so much pains
to ehow their respect for the flag or that
I would receive such an ovation. There
was nut, eir during the entire journey a
breath uttered agaiust the flag r myialf,
whether in the rich man's narlor or the
poor man's cabin ; whether on the road or
in the city, the old flag received the re
spect and homage of all, and I welcome
and hospitality. I was determined to
carry out the plan. I have done so, and
when I reached Washington I h id not a
penny in my pocket. I did not know
where to get a meal or where to rind
a resting place. 1 have had money
enouh ofTered me on the route to make
nie rich for life, but I have not accepted
a eei.t, nor have I sold a photograph, as
seme have sad. During my j crn y. Mr.
Pi evident, I recaptured one of our flags
without expeii'iin a shot. It was a flg
that had le n taken from us at Chancel
lors ville, and it was h ind.'d to me hy an
ex-Confederate eo'li?r, who bad p:eserved
i; at his home. Before I leave 1 will call
on you to show you a sa.h presented to
rati by the 1 idles of Mo tome y, A"a.,
and which I pioini.-el when I reached
Washington you should see. I hope on
Monday next to leave for my home, near
Edgerton, Wis , where I have a wife and
two eh llrcn. Thj 'awt work I did be
f. re I left was the cutting of two cords of
wood. I left a tree partially cut, and I
waut to go home to finish it.'
Tlio Capture of Komeo A
Fearful Contest.
A Pi ilad. Iphia pajerof a recent date
says : One of the most inten stin., excit
ir.z and et hazardous incidents which bas
occurred for many a day, was the recap
ture and conquering on Saturday last, of
the huge Asiatic elephant, i.oineo,"
belonging to Adam Forepanuh's Mena
gerie, on the farm i f J: m.s 15 Milr, in
lli.fboro, a small unpre. ending vi'ltge,
twelve n.iles from this city, upon who
prt'inises he bus been q lariered during tlu
past liter, hg.drer with the white
ca nel-, droin f lane, hors s and two other
elephant: beloriiriiiii to Mr. Forvpaugh
great Zoologic.-d a d Equestrian combina
tion, wlncti will open in Philadelphia,
next we k.
It will b tu doubt, rm mbered by
the m.-j nty of our readers, itiat this is
thi same elephant that killed his keeper,
Mr. William 1. Wd iuns, last D.reeniber,
not long alter going into wintei quarters ;
the ciri umstafieed of which might nut b
uniutcr -siiug briefly tu uariatc ia this con
nect ion.
Mr. Williams waa in the habit, with
other duties and c. r s, of washing at.d
scrubbing the elephant eery few da-s
with warm Wi:t-r, the animal, at the
fame time, being chained firmly by secur
ing both fore feet wiih a massive ircn
chain" sironly fastened to l ings, secured
at the bottom of his spacious stall, which
is built of soli i masonry, of great th ekuess
and stiength, upon which rests the weight )
of a p n lerous superstructure. From
ftverl circumstances that had transpired
b it a few days previous, such as the j
annihilation of a pet cat, the knocking
down of a carnal which happened to come i
in the way, Mr. Williams, his ke. pvr.,
was advised to be on his guard ; but '
having great co'jfi.'enee, he took no pre
cautionary measures, and thus it happened
that while he was in tho act of procuring j
a fresh supply of water, with which to j
wash him, I:'m back t i:vj turned, the I
elephant s ruck him a powerful blow with
his trtm'., prostrating him upon his face,
breaki!!:! lii.s s tinal column and rendering
him instantly Jalple-s.
Immediately (he elephant caught him
with his trunk, d ew l im beneath his fore
feet, gored him with his tusks, Icuelt upon
him with his km-es, literally crtishiiisr
every b me in his body. At this fearful
ci i.-isj, Mr. Mi ler and other members of
his family, alarmed by the cries of the
unfortunate man, camj to ihi rescue, and,
by means ol forks, spears, &:t succeeded
so far in duelling the intention of the
infuriated nions.i-r from his victim as to
extricate the dying man from his power.
Mr. Wihiams, it is hardly necessary to
add, livtd hot two hours after this sad
event. Being securely chained, he ,wis,
of course, unable to do any further mis
chief, and in this predicament he has
remained all winter, r.o person being able
to conquer and subdue him. Of course,
if permitted to remain so all the li ne, he
wojM bd Inrhiless enough, b it the tiael
ing season for the menagerie approaches,
and bs lords dp its needed somewhere elsO,
and some means, therefore, must be de.
vise I by which he can be sublued anl
inane avuimoie lor tue approaching cam
paign.
In this extremity Mr. Fnrepnugh was
obliged to-secure the services of hi old
keeper, Mr Stua:t Craven, wt.o had been
in charge of hm before he wa- iuqnuicd
to America j suid lor six n c us t-inw th it
evjntj but who. in con-equence of dec i ied
health, was advi.-ed to travel in Europe,
and about eighteen month ago sat out
for the Orient, and wishing to combine
profit with pleasure puisued Ins journey
into the interior of Africa. Asia and lower
o'Pl accumulated an exrensivo assort -ma.it
of the m.ist rare and cuiious animals,
and also of the feathered tribe, aiming
which were s.iQvj of the fi.iest specimens
of African and As s.tic elephants, camel
dromedaries. &c, ever imported -into tins
country, all of which have been recently
merged into the mammoth inenairerie be
longing to Adam Forepaugh.
Mr. Craven, being an experienced ani
mal tau.er, was deemed the most advisable
person to take charge of the recapture of
"liomeo," as he is the only person who
has ever succeeded in conq lering and
subduing this, the largest specimen of an
Asiatic elephant on this eminent. To
this end, Mr. Craven proceeded on Satur
day lat, assisted by that fe.irl rs an d
intrepid animal performer, Mr. James
Forepaugh, to Hatb-.ro, accompanied also
by an army of men with rope, tickles
and chains, to bring this monarch of the
Oriental jung'e to his" haunches, who has
been a kind of terror to that community
ever since the unfortunate death of Mr.
Williams.
Immediately on the arrival of his old
keeper, although he had been absent
about eighteen months, th-j elephant
recognized him, became restive and deti
nnr, madia fearful charge upon him with
his trunk, wiih which, but for the chain
DJ which be w itropgly utbered, ha
would have instantly annihilated him.
This was quite unexpected to his old
keeper, but experience has demonstrated
that once the elephant becomes enraged,
he is just as quick to fight his best friend
as those whom he has never seen. In
shoit liomeo was complete master of the
situation, and great apprehens'ons were
entertained lest, becoming still more fero-
cious, he should snap his trainee-h arid
make a great havoc among the spectators.
To be prepared for this emergency ropes
and chains were made ready, and by the
wi-dotu and discretion manifested by Mr.
Craven, assisted by J.mes and George
Forepaugh. both hind fe t f the nionsi. r
e:o secured by cl ain whr h the infuri
ated beast proceeded to break like es
many gossamer webs, fl ating in the air.
These efforts were lima and agai i r p at d
and as often buffeted. La ger chains :.i d
rooes were brought info requisi. ion, wli eh
in their turn yielded to the superior
strength and j rowess of the m' tister brute,
which conit-nvjtuously spurn 'd every effort
used to capture him", until it was evident
t at some more effectual means and appli
ances mut lc resorted to in order to
di -lodge him I'on his stronghold. The
c'tief point now to be aco nip ihed was 'o
s. hamp r and entang't his legs in tl e
missive er a its with which he was con
lined to the stall, so as to render him at
once itorsde comb it. In this Mr. Craven,
assisted by George Forepaugh. the re

rqual to fh task.
