THE TKlT.UNE FOR 18CS.
PROSPECTUS.
The year 1SGS will long be rcmemlorcd
for its settlement of the boundary question '
between Aristocracy of Color and Impar-
tinl Human Liberty. The War of the 1
Rebellion being closed, wo havo now to
decide whether the fundamental idea
which impelled and. justified the Rtbcll-
ion shall dominate over our whole coun-
try, molding her institutions and shaping
her destiny. If it be true that God has
not created all men, but only all White
Well, in His t)ru image, and made ihem
C(1aj J political anJ cjv;l rights, then it
is a world wide calamity that Giaut did
uot surrender to Lee at Appomatox ; and
aud "The Lost Cause," trodden into mire
under the hoofs ol Sheridan's rough-riding
cavalry, not, ouly should but will be re
gained ia Constitutional Conventions and
at the ballot-boxes. If tho Black race,
because they arc Ulack, should be exclud
ed from the j'try-box and replied from the
bailot-box, then Stonewall Jaukson oagh!
to head ihe roll of Americuu martyrs,
emblazoned hih above the names of War
ren and Mercer an J J'ulaski; of Ellsworth,
Lyon, Eaker, Ilcjno'ds, Wadsworth,
Kearney, Sctlgwick and McPherson.
It is difficult to arj,'ue with a blind, be
sotted prejudice, prouuded n ignorance
and fortified by self conceit. Devoid cf
reason, it i hardly amenable to reason.
But millions who would listen unmoved to
appeals based on Justice and Humanity
can be stirred by facts which affect their
own interest and .safety. The naked
truth that every Southern State recon
structed on tbo While basis is to-day a
Rebel State shaped .ind ruled by tten
who execrated Lincoln's reluctant and
tardy resistance to the Rebellion as a
cause'ess and criminal aggression, and
profoundly rejoiced over Ruli Ruu as their
vietory wiil prove invincible, if we can
but lirinjf it home to tho apprehension of ;
every leyal voter. T licre is no paramouut
tiicstion of fo ;d faith or gratitude to the
Macks. Their votes are as necessary to
the preponderance of White loyalty as to
their own proteuJioti mid security. Re
construct the South on the White ba.-is.
and every oue of the fifteen States which
held slaves in l'.j will bo intensely,
overwludmiitfjly Coppcihtad thenceforth
anl eveimoie. Allow to-day the plea
that the Rlack.s are ignorant and degraded
an I those whom yon tbereby clothe with
power will take good care that the plea
shall !io as valid aud well-grounded a cen
tury hence as it now is. l'ublie Educa
tion and Civil Rights for the Freedmen
can only bo achieved and maintained
thr ;tti;h the ballot. "We are for Negio
Suffrage the vwy thfg tufferol ia Xcw
Orlcixnt," was the inscription on a ban
ner borne in a late Conservative or lem
ocratic procession in Raltimoro; and tho
spirit which diclatcd that avowal it still
rampant in the South. Rut for what is
stigiuatiz -a as itlilirary Despotism it would
daily avenge fcy outrage aud infliction
what it deems negro treachery to the
Southern cause.
The Tribune Las declined to be lured
or turned rside fr om the Main Question. It
has persistently refused to swell the clam
or for vengeance on tho defeated Rebels,
whether by execution or by confiscation ;
and one of its 6trong reasons for this
course is a conviction that no drop of Reb
el blood could be coolly, deliberately sbed
without essentially clouding the prospect
of securing the Right of Suffrage to the
Rlacks. Defying the madness of passion
aud the blindness of short-sighted mis
conception, it has demanded Reconstruc
tion on the basis of Universal Amnesty
with Impartial Suffrage, and in perfect
consciousness of the fact that it thereby
alienated thousands who had been it6
zealous supporters and life-long patrons.
The hour of its completo vindication can
not be far distant.
As for the man who is to be the chosen
standard-bearer of the Republican host in
the impending contest, while we avow our
deliberate preference of Chief Justice
Chase as the ablest and most eminent of
our living statesmen, The Tribune will
render a hearty, cheerful, determined sup
port to Gen. Grant, or Senator Wade, or
Speaker Colfax, should he be nominated
ami supported on a platform which affirms
aud upholds tho equal political as well as
civil rights of all citizens of the Repub
lic. We di uot contemplate as possible

Europo, with a director at London, who
is authorized to dispatch speciul corres

A GENTLEMAN HINTS FOR A RAT UNDER
A LADY'S SKlKi'.
.
A short time since the wife and family
ef a Now Yoik merchant re'urr.ed from
Europe, briuicg with them ayoucg Ger
man lady, who camo,
"Far, f.ir across the sea,"
to vu.it some relatives lining in New York.
The moment the steamer telegraphed as
beincr below, Mr. L the merchant,
i lelc Ins store aud drove to the
r, aiii-
. , ,
! ifus'y aw:;itiug the moment when,
( , I(f0 soul3 ;uil but 9inl,, two
; bcart3 Ul.u boat n3 onc.,
would be gladly united in a loving ciulraCe
The miuutes seemed bor.rs but at length
the steamer came. Mr. L , in an
testacy of delight, embraced and kissed
his wife aud children, and after welcom
ing the young lady drove them home.
Happiness reigued throughout the
household.
The day was passed in romping with
the children those dear little ones who
had been absent so long in listening to
stories of journeys through Germany and
: Switzerland, and in bantering Miss Lena
with having come so far away from home,
not to visit her relatives, but to secure a
husband in a foreign clime. Dinner was
announced. Away went the clildren, Mr.
L. aud Mrs. L. and Miss Lena bringing
up the rear. The dining room was reach
ed, and the happy family were about seat
ing themselves when the sound of music
iu the distance was heard. Each listened
to the delicious strains, which
Like music of the South,
Breathes upon a bank of violets,
Stealing and giving orders,"
approached the house. Away, out to the
front door ranthe children in joyful glee,
and after them Mrs. L. "How delightful !
What can it be V inquired Miss Lena.
"Some regiment returning from paiade,"
responded Mr. L., Ecating himself quietly
to discuss the elegant dinner he had or
dered to be prepared. J ust then, O, hor
ror ! Miss Lena, with a look of unutter
able misery and alarm, clasped her skirts
and gave a terrible scream ! "Good heav
ens ! What has happened ?" Mr. L. rush
ing frantically beside her. "There's
souifithing running up my skirts!" she
gasped, clasping the aforesaid still tighter.
''Something running up your skirts ! What
can it be ?" and dropping upon one knee,
encircling Miss Lena's wrist with one arm
Mr. L. began carefully to feel for the ter
rible Something under her skirts ! "Ou
Mi. L. what shall I do, screamed Mis.
L6'ia. "Re quiet don't get frightened,"
said Mr. L., wheu .the door opened and
Mrs. L. appeared. What a situation ! Mr.
L. upon his knac 023 arm about Mi;s Lc-
na's waist, the other where ? under her
skirta 1 Mrs. L, stood for a moment trans
fixed witb iudinatioti ; then throwing
herself into a chair, wept tears of bitter
shame, saying, saying. "O, George,
George ! I never could have believed this
of you never." .Mr. L. tried to explain;
-Mrs. L. would not liaten. Miss. Leua,
conscious of her innoeenco, but realizing
the awfnltiess of the position in which
she had been placed, t-ctjan to weep as
well as scream, when Mrs. L., feeling she
had been cruelly deceived, rushed angrily
evidently with the intention of doing her
bodily harm, when a large rat raa from
Dcncain iMiss. i.cna s clothes: fcueh a
tiuio as there was then ? Mrs. L. folding
her dress about her form, jumped upon a
chair, Miss. Lena fainted outright, and
Mr. L. seized the paper and commenced
with his ratship a race for life. I'p aud
down the room, here, there, everywhere)
ran the rat followed closely by Mr. L.
At length "O, 'twas a sorry sight"
with one fell swoop the cause of this
terrible mishap was defuoet.
- Mrs. Ii. eoulJ scarcely 1'oigivo heraclt
for suspecting her dear Georgo. .Miss
Lena was lestortd to her consciousness,
kissed Mrs. L. a dozen times, and liually
acknowledged the position was rather a

L., alter having placed 7iOs da combat

I as if it had just been made the sport of a
whiuwiud, while his face was liberally
supplied tv1:!i thick patches of "free soil,"
sitting on the fence a short distance from

''Yhat in tl.t:nder r.r? you hoilerin'

COTilDAT. Vi'im AN ELEPHANT-
Mr. Hyatt Frost, of Van AmburgVa
Hienagcrie, gives the Cincinnati Commer
cial the particulars of a feirillo fight
with Tippoo Sahib, tho well known ele
phant, which occurred at Cor.ncr.-:vii!a,
Indiana, a short time since. The nicnasc
rie had gone into win'er quarters r,t tha5
place, and tho colossal animal is chained
in a small building, where he will be kept
until tho show season open3 next year
Tippoo Sahib, by the way, is cow tho
largest elephaut in tho America. He ia
now thirty-six years eld, and weigh ten
thousand pounds.
The battle with Tippoo resulted from n
change in his keepers. Frank Nali, his
keeper for ten years, was recently sup
planted by Charles Johnson, formerly of
Rarnuui'a menagerie. The elephant will
not accept a new master without a battle,
and Mr. Johnson prepared himself for aa
exciting encounter. The elephant was in
particularly bad humor with ail mankind,
lie would allow nobody iu his quarters,
strikiu at every intruder wi'.h his trunk
and tusks most viciously.
Ou Tovsday di .ruing last, at ten o'clock,
the combat opened. The new keerer,
with uine assistants, had fu!:y equipped
himself with chaics and cubles for lying,
and spears and pitchforks for subduing
Tippoo. The first tiling done wa- t fts-t
ten a brickbat to tho end of a rope, aud
threw it over the end of tho tu-k chain,
which latter is fastened to cne leg and ono
tu.-k. Ry ir.caus of this rope, a twcr.ry
ton cable chain, (formerly used tosubduo
the famous llanaibal,) was s!:p nonsed
around the tuok. Next, an exeava'ion
three feet deep was made under the .sill of
tho hcuje, and while the eh-phsatV atten
tion was attracted to the other side of thrt
room by a pail of water po-:red ints hi.i
trough, the cable chain was pa.-c-i through
the excavation and fastened to heavy
stakes outside. All this time the infuri
ated monster struck all around him with
tcrriGc ferocily, and tu;'c;eJ at Ins r'.ianx
with incredible momentum.
Tho next thing acv-ni:p!ihed was thi
scaring of his hind legs. This was con
summated 1-y the slinging of Hv-h ropra
around those two stately pillars i f tle
phatit ile.-h, bone aud muscle, and 1. a! 1 y
by the stealthy sira'egy of the keeper ar.;J
another nun, these ropes were fastened to
stamps outside. The elephaut was now
suSieieuily pinioned to allow the ct-Jt.r,
"charge pitchforks" to be given. Tt.i
men, armed with these ugly impVmetts
of offense, plunged ihea iato tha rtv pac
ing beast, taking care, of course, to avoid
penetrating his pye. or join!.-?. Ti e teu-derc.-t
spot in au elephant is just frhind
the foreleg, and that locality v,is pr KVi
unmercifully. Ry is car. a of a liotkod
pear stink into his back, 'fippoo w.s
brought to Lis kuecs; but he -urgad u;
.igiin with such awful strength that 1 e?
swept bis tormcnters eff their feit, an l
made his chain? whistle like 5 strings.
After an hoax's fighting he wis trough,
down on his side but for two hours longer
he tugged at his chains with frenzied ob
stinacy, lis pulled so hard at timfs that
his hind legs were straight cut behind
him, and threo fleet f.ff the ground.
At the end of the threo bouts, the gi
ant gave in by "trumpeting,'' which is the
elephaut way of crying "enough." The
moment this peculiar cry v. as heard the
battle ceased. The keeper made Tippoo
get up and lie down a cumber of time.,
' and ho was a3 obedient to le word of
command cs a gentle pony. The anintal
was then groomed and rubbed t .1 with
whisky. 11? allowed ail manner cf liber
ties without so much as flapping an car.
He was a subjugated elephant.
At one stage of the fight the dog Jrck
(a compasion of the elephant,) thought
soma of the tying business foul play .ilia
fk-w upon Johnson's back "and hied to
sink his fangs into his neck, but was pull
ed off ami dragged out of the room.
Jack evidently sympathized with his big
friend.
As ignoramus had been sick, aud on.
recovering, wns told by the doctor that ha
r:iij;ht take a little aEi.na! food.
"No, sir," said he, "I took your gruel
easy enough, bat hang me if I can eat
your hay ami oats."
