"Stick." The Radical Senators and Congressmen, who, on the strength of the Whittakor "outrage," proposed to legislate tho color lino into tho West Point Academy, must begin to suspoct by this lime thai tbey made a more conspicuous display of asinine qualities than even their rich natural endow ments in that line fairly warranted. The Whittakor dodge wjis one of the moat jm tule soils that "the colorod brother" ever succeeded In playing oft on bis whilo philanthropic brother.

Mr. Voor hoes made a carefully propured speech in the Senate on tho 4th Inst., in which ho summed up tho evidence presented in tho Kxodus investigation, showing beyond question tho Republican con splraey to gel voters out of North Carolina into Indiana, fur the double purpose of "redeeming" tho latter Slate from Democratic control and weakening tho relative power of tho South before the census could bo taken. Mr. Windom mude numerous efforts to interrupt Mr. Voorhees with irrele vant questions, but ho was finally re duced to better deportment In a per emptory munnor. When tho passions and prejudices which this exodus busi ness havo excited and fostered, shall have been allayed by tho lapse of years, the facts elicited by tbo investigation will stand as undoubted proof of all that tho Democrats have alleged con coming tho motive of those Republi can loaders who set tho movemont on foot and aided In extending It.

Diqal Poet Roooutly Congress man Downoy of Wyoming Torritory delivered a poetic speech in that body which has rendered him immortal. Tbe lust feat in that lino, wo notloo by the Times, is that of a Philadelphia lawyer naniod hdward Williard, who, in behalf of the defendant in the case of Isaac W.

Tho following may bo of Interest lo many of our readers, as It is probably not generally known what tho law concerning visitors to bur rooms and drinking saloons really is: A case was decided nt Philadelphia lately by which one of a party of four pei-sons who had spent the evening at I a public house, was compelled lo pay 1 1,., .1,, niii i,; ,...,.;,, huci, .. neglected to "pony up" thoir propor tions of the expensus. The caso is ro ported in tho llullctin. The defendant held, that as ho had not drank Ihc whole, nor ato the whole that was or dered, but only a fourth part thereof, ho was nut responsible lor payment I only in that ratio. Tho Judge was ol A diffotciit opin ion. A company assembled at a pub lio house, can- bo considered by the landlord only as one person ; they havo joined themselves together, and ho has no right to put tliem asaiinuor. llo cannot say to ono, as ho enters, "you may drink," and to another, "you snail not," nor aslt any one whether ho has money to pay for his reckoning. One muy treat another, fur what ho knows, or he may treat the wholo. It is a partnership for that night, and what right has tbe landlord to inquire who finds tho capital t They are equally act'ountiililu to him fur tho whole debt. It is not enough that ono pays his part, he must lake caro that the whole is paid ; that is his concern, not tho landlord s. Whon the partnership dissolves, whether it ho at mid day or mid night, every partner is responsible for tho debts contracted in tbe partnership. If one man breaks a glass, it is noth ing to the landlord who brokoit; ho can chargo it to tho company, as well as its contents, and they must settle tbe matter with tho individual. One man trifA money might bring a dozen without, who, being strangers, the landlord is deprived of his property and his remeil-sr llo cun take any of the company, and ho whom ho tukes mav demand his share from tho rest. Tho defondant declared that ho bad never hoard so much law and good senso in his li lo ; and that tho decision and opinion put togethor, was worth tho money it cost him ; he would pay the bill with costs, and remember it for his future government. Hazard's Heyisti r. ttUSSlA'S DEAD EMPRESS. Tho cable announces the death of tbo Kmpreas Maria, of Russia, who has for a long time boon an invalid. She was tho daughter ol the Grand Duko Ludwig II., of llesso Darmstadt, and was born August 8, 1821. Alexander 11., her husband, met her first in bis travels through tbe conti nent, when a comparatively young prince, and married her in 1811. The reign in which she has participated has boon a most eventful ono in tbe history of her adopted country. Sho became Kuipress by the accession of Alexander in 1855.

TnE (iettybhuro Battle Field. Tho United States Sonato has passed a bill giving to Jobn B. Bachelder 50,000 for making, under tho direc tion of tho Secretary of War, a survey of the battle field of Gettysburg, com piling tbe history of that engagement and illustrating its progress by dia grams. Mr. Bachelder has devoted most of his timo for tho past seventeen years to tho study of this battlo, and tho results ol his study aro very inter est ing. It appears that tho Govern ment has availed itself ol Mr. Bachel- dcr's data in constructing its maps of tho Datuo-iielJ, but tbo uuta remain in bis possession, and, because it is most fiorisbablo nature, it is said it will bo oBt to history at his death, unless ar ranged by bitn and turned over to tho Government. Bachelder visited tho battlo flcld before the dead were bur ied, and passed eighty-four days in making plans and gathering informa tion concerning Ilia battle from those who had boon colors in it. At tho closo of tho war ovor ono thousand of fleers, forty nino of them Gonorals, visited tbe field at his invitation, and aided him in his work by their recol lections and reminiscences. Tho Sec retary of War afterward employed him to apply his information to tho maps which represents six phases of tho battle. After tbe completion of '.bose maps, hundreds ol letters woro received from officers ol both armies urging the importance of putting into a volume a data which Mr. Bacboldor bad collected, and by which ho was onablod to make tbe maps.

II0W IT WAS DOSE. Tho cnnspiiucy by whieb Ruther ford 11. Hayes was counted and Tibten counted out was concocted in the I'll ill avenuo hotel on tbe night cf the elec tion, Tuesday, Sov. li, 1870'. There were present, acharlah Chandler, Geo. I''. Kdmunds, Chester Arthur, Ahmr.o II. Cornell, uud others. It was late at night. The news received from every Suite in tho Cnion left no doubt as in what the venlict ot tho ballot box had been. There was a possibility, how ever, of undoing what the people had done. One man alone could decide whether tho desperate gaino could be tried. That onu was Ulysses S. Grunt, lie and Don Cameron wero in I'bil.i dolphin. Timo wus precious. Instant and calc communication must be bud with Grunt. How was it possible? There was no train to Philadelphia till morning. That might ho too late. It would not do to use the telegruph wires of either the Wtwloru Union or the Aliunde nnd l'noiflo companies because a tell-tale record would be lull behind. Jay Gould hatl a private wire connecting his house and Philadelphia. Thilhur the conspirators hastened. Jay Gould was aroused, the conspirators were admit ted lo his private cilice, mid their con fiduntiul telegrapher begun to bunt up Grunt in Philadelphia ll was a d ill cull job. Grant and Cameron were not to be found in their accustomed places. After much doluy tUey were found and communication between the conspirators at Jay Gould's house in Now York and Grant and Cnmeron in Philadelphia was established. Thosituutinn was explained, and tho demand made for troops lor South Carolina, Florida, and Louisiana. He was told that toilless those three Stales could be counted lor Hayes, Tildcn would be tho next President. To every demand tho response came : "It shall bo done." The next day Grant promulgated his hypocritical despatch saying that bo would see a fair count, and no man worthy to bo Prosidont would accept it if obtained by unworthy means. Before this was written tbo plans of tho conspirators had been arranged, orders to the troops despatched, and emissaries wcruon their way to Colum bia, Tallahasseo and New Orleans to encourage the subordinate scoundrels and stiperviso tbodotails of the villiany. Simultaneously came tho bulletin of Zach Chandler: "Hayes has receiv ed 1K5 votes and is elected. " Whatever doubts there may boas to tho actual result in South Carolina and Florida thcro can bo nono in rogund to Louisiana. The ballots In tho boxes gave tbo Democratic electors n de cisive majority, ll approached ten thousand. Hvery provision of the law bad been strictly complied with by tho Democrats, and to throw out a ma jority in a singlo election district tho Returning Board had to viohtto the statute in letter and spirit. The law required the specific acts invalidating tbe election to ho sworn to by the clec tion ottiecrs and noted by tho Super visors of registration. In not ono single instance was this done because there had not been in tho wholo State one solitary act in violation to law. The election was fair, Iree and peacea ble To obtain even a basis upon which to found their irauds it had to bo allegod that there was intimidation six months previous to tho day of the election.

Times wus brought to justice yesterday, in isiaiiius l;oitrt. Robert Marley was charged with hav ing been connected in tho larceny ol $7iO from Frank Kmury, a Wayno county lumber dealer. Tlio prosei u lor, in an innocent sort ol way, testi fied that Marley accosted him on the street and, representing himself to be n Mr. Miller, of llouesdalu, Wayne county asked him whether ho would not taku a package up for him on his way homu. Tbey went to u sort ol ollice on Dillw'j n street, where the par oel was said to be, but when tbey got there they wero told by a person who seomud to bo a dork that it had not yet arrived and that thoy should wait until a messenger brought it in. There was a lot of railroad tune-tables, etc., scattered about tho room, and the pros editor nnd the ilelendanl had not been seated long before a tall man, dressed in the garb of a Southerner, came in and usUed for a ticket for Tunnes'ce. The "clerk'' told tho stranger liat the ticket agent had gone out lot lunch und that bo should be scaled lor u few minutes until tho person arrived.

Marley then said that ho would bet tho Ton-ncs-.ee man that ho could beat him at the guuie himself. Tho Tennessee man took up tho wagor, but Murley bud not enough money to cover tho amount of the bet, und so the prosecutor was asked to maku the amount good. Tho pros ecutor said that ho bad not much chango with bim, but intimated that ho had a check about him that wa good for $700. Tho Tennessee man said ho did not think it was good, and asked to boo it.- When tho prosecutor exhibited it there was moro talk about whether it was genuine or not, and tho prosecutor finally agreed to go to Cam den with Marley and have it cashed. This was done und when the men got back tbo prosecutor was relieved of the entire amount, llo said ho did not lose it in the game, but claimed that w hilo be was showing it lo Iho Tennes see man Mat ley snatched it und that tho Tennessee man in turn snatch ed it from Marley and escaped with it. Tbo prosecutor attempted to follow tho thiol, but ho was stopped at the door by tho proprietor of the placo, who just happened in, nnd detained bitn "for gambling iu the place ngain," and did not release hi in until tho other man had made good his escapo.
