HON. THOMAS CORWIN.
A.t tlie timo I first naw Jlr. Ewing,
Mr. Corwio was iu the fulness of his
glory, ond raveling in the most ex
traordinary popularity ever given to
a publio servant in a free country.
Wherever he went Crowe's followed at
his heels, and whenever lie epoke there
was a perfict carnival of i'un frolic,
logic and triumphs. What a wonder
ful and gifted man be was! Of large
frame, broad, deep, heavy chest, a
complexion swarthy as a savage, a
well made, large significant head,
brilliant eyes, aud a face so capable of
expressing every varying emotion,
that as a comic actor he would have
rivalled Burton in hi palmiest day ;
and as a preacher, would have looked
more doleful than the children ef Is
rael, when they tat down by the riv
ers of Babylon, and "wept when they
remembered Zion.'
I have often heard our friends de
scribe him as he appeared during the
campaign of 1840, when the people
roused to a pitch of enthusiasm rarely
witnetfed, with thccryef "Tippecanoe
antj Tyler too " followed Corwin wlh
almost hungry eagerness, content if
they could only Jjsfen. to hjs yoico and
gaze into his m.igio countenance.
Farmer and their wives would get
up in the middle of the uight, fodder
the cattle for the next day, feed the
horses, put the household in order for
a few days' absence, and then drive
thirty miles over rough roads, and
through sparsely settled neighbor
hoods, considering the labor well be
stowed os midnight once more futind
them, worn and exhausted, at home, if
they had heard the wonderful orator.J
lotu Uorwin, the "Wagon Boy of
Ohio."
As a mere orator, Ijlr
Corwin excelled any man it has been
ray. fortune to hear, So full of wit,
humor, puthes, learning, history, im
agery; a manner so charming and
magnetic as to be lusctnatiug beyond
desuriptinu, and a face so variablo
and wonderful in its power of express
ing emotions that no man could look
upon it without yieldiug at once to its
bewitching influence. Ia private
life, at the social board, he whs the
centre and idol of the circle, aud
wheij i Congress, in the latter years
of his life, he was always surrounded
by the members who loved and honor
ed him, aud were only toe delighted
to listen to his attractive conversation.
I ouce went with him to
Buffalo, where he was to speak during
the campuigu of 1864. In the course
ef his remarks he urged the great im
portance of individual effort, and re
lated the well known anecdote of his
defeat while running as a candidate
for Governor of Ohio, against Wilson
Shannon, his Democratic competitor.
He said the day after election, he met
an old farmer aud friend of his, who
condoled with him on his defeat, ex
pressing at the same tirrfe bis aston
ishment and dismay that such an ex
traordinary and unexpected event
could have occurred, and such dis
grace-be fastened upon the people of
Ohio, laking the old man aside he
asked him if lie had gone to the polls
on election day, for, said Mr. Corwin,
"I noticed your township did not give
it ordinary vote.
"Well," said the old man, evidently
grateiy embarrassed at the new turn
things were taking, ''the not llr.
Corwin, election d.ty was a very fine
day iu these parts, and me and my
neignuors an tnougiit you bad sartiu
sure thing, and as it was a good day
for cutting buckwheat, we thought we
would not go and vote, as it wasn't
necessary, aud that accounts for the
light vqyj jou see." "'"
"And so," said Mr. Corwin, "you
sacrificed the best Governor that Ohio
ever had for a paltry batch of buck
wheat" "Bah r Said he, turning to the
chairman of the'meeting with a merry
twiukle of his eye,.'.'! wao so utterly
disgusted with that comniuuicatiou,
Mr. President, that I have iieve; been
able to cat a buckwheat cake from
that day to this one." Iu
1830 he was elected to Congress, and
was re-elected for each successive
term until 1840, when he was nomin
ated for Governor of Ohio. It was
during his last term that Mr, Isaac L
Crary, a member of the House from
Michigan, weui out of bis way to
make a coarse and violent attack upon
the military career of General Har
rison, criticising it with great unfair
ness1 and 'jiariisjji vigor. During
ruoit it the time while he was 'speak
ing, Mr. Corwin was engaged in writ
ing letters, but as the speaker occas
ionally bore haishly upon General
Harrison, Mr. Corwin would leok at
bim with his peculiar smile, shake his
head; aud resume his work. Mr.
John W. Allen, then representing
Cleveland jn Congrets, sat next to
him; and Mr. Corwiu privately jpoke
to him aud said, "Somebody must
answer that fellow. W cannot per
mit this thing to go on so." Mr. Al
ien's reply was, "There is nobod.-' to

do it but yourself. You are the man."
At the close of the speech no one
arose a dead silence prevailed.
Through the hall all eye were. fixed
upon Corwin. He slowly rose to his
feet, and, obtaining the recognition of
the Speaker, was given the floor. At
this mement, if being late in the- af
ternoon, some one moved an adjourn
ment, which was carried, and Mr.
Corwin resumed the floor the next
day. This was all the time he had
for preparing one of the most famous
and really wonderful and learned
speeches ever delivered in the House
of Representatives. For vigorous
argument, pure irony, splendeS rea
soning, and genuine wit, it has rarely
been equaled. The defence of Har
rison was overwhelming, aud the
anuihilation of Crary complete. The
House was convulsed with laughter at
the richness and originality of the hu
mor, and at times almost awed by the
great dignity and profound arguments
of the orator. The page of history
were ransacked for illustrations to
sustain tho speaker, and all were
poured in rapid suppession upon the
liead of poor Crary, who eat amazad
and stupefied at the storm he had pro
voked. A Corwin proceeded the
members left their seats and clustered
thickly about him, the reporters laid
down their pens, the presiding officer
his gavel, and everybody gave them
selves up to tho enjoyment of the
hour. As Mr. Corwin painted in
mock lieroio style the knowledge of
military affairs which the lawyer
member from Michigan had acquired
from reading "Tidd's Practice and
Espinasses Nisi Piius," studies se hap-
uy adapted to the art of war, the
ouse Uirly roared with delight.
"u uicir is mum provoiuujj picture
of Crary in the capacity of k militia
brigadier at the head of his legions' on
parade day, with his "crop eared,
bushy tailed mare and sickle hams
the steed that laughs at the shaking
of the spear, and whose neck was cloth
ed with thunder," cemparing him
with Alexander the Great and bis war
horse Bucephalus, at the head of his
Macedonian phalanx, and finally,
after reciting liis deeds of valor aud
labor during the day, left him and
his exhausted troop at a corner grocery,
assuaging the fires of their souls with
copious draughts of whisky, drauk
from theshellsof slsuirliLered watermel
ons. When Mr. Corwin came to give
tie history of General Harrison and
defend his military record, he rose to
the height of pure eloquence, and
spoke with convincing force and un
answerable logic. The fate of Crary
was sealed. Probably no such per
sonal discomfiture was ever known
from the effect of a single speech.
He never recovered from .the blow,
aud was known ai florae and abroud
as the late General Crary. Even at
home the farmers and the i.ys, in
watermolon season, would always offer
him the fruit with sly jests and jeers,
and joke nt his military career; but
his public life and usefulness were at
an end. R. C. Parsons, in Cleveland

TUB 8TOHCS CASE.
A brief history of tho proceedings
in Stokes' cannot be uninteresting, iu
view of the late decision granting
him a new trial. He shot Fisk on
January 6, 1872, After the Coroner'
inquest an indictment was drawn
against him. Motion to quash .the
iudictmnt were wrangled over for
some time. The indictment was sus
tained, and Stokes was called upon to
plead towards the latter end of ' June,
1872. No point had been gained but
delay by the prisoner's counsel. The
trial lasted from the 19th of June to
the 15th of July, and resulted in a
disagreement of the jury. This was,
of course, a victory for the prisoner,
and, until tho 1.9th of last December,
he enjoyed his triumph." The ,began
the second trial. On the 6th of Jan
uary, 1873, one year exactly from the
murder, Stokes was condemned to
death ijj accordance with the unani
mous verdict of the jury. Since that
date there has been a scries of attempts
to have a new trial granted, one point
being suggested after another until
the culuiuatiun favorable to the priso
ner was reached on Tuesday.
Some of the Western papers speak
of Cyrus ileCorinic, the inventor of
tho celebrated reaper, as the "farm
ers' benefactor." We suppose ho is.
Iu his renjorseless zeal to liefp the
poor farmer ho really forgets himself.
And this is the way he doe it. The
original cost of oue of his best reapers,
according to his own testimony, is
less than (50. The retail price is
9200. The threshing ruacbiue of
which he holds a niouopoly cost leas
thau S100, and seils for 700. The
benefactor of the agricultural race, in
headlong zeal, to benefit his fellow
creatures, should remember that be
owe a. duty to his family as well, and
that common prudence would dictate
laying up something for a rainy day.

NOTE FROM THE DANBL'RY HEWfi
HAN'S) TKAVELS-DB.MTEB AND ELSE
WHERE. Before this letter is in type I will
be wafting my way homeward like a
gentle perfume. Just about.
In Kansa City they speak of Den
ver as a flourishing hamlet, and then
they shrug their shoulders. In Den
ver they ihjnk that Kansas City
would be a passable place if it was on
earth.
The favorite expression here is "In
time." Such a "man will in time
make a fortune." And o on. "In
time" is (he popular qualifier used in
every connection. They tell me here
that graveyards are not needed for
residents, they are merely laid out as
an act of courtesy to Eastern visitors.
This intelligence affected me very
much, and visibly shortened my stay
in Denver. Kindness always did
overcome me.
We passed a number of settlements
on the line of the Kansas Pacific.
They were in flourishing condition
and amply provided with printing
office and churchpi, but I would have
freely graded them all for one buffalo.
St is an awful thing to want to see a
uffalo, and not tee it.
The market of Denver are super
ior, the saloon are elegant, and in on
of these places are billiard tables,
which are pronounced by people who
know to be equal to anything in New
York. Ts see shirtsloeved miners
and bull whackers punch balls over
these tables, is next in impressivenessto
the "eternal jnows."
We found tho population of the
cities at the depot. The men were
generally whittling not slashing off
cnipt as ycu see in tho .hast, but on
ly tapering down the stick, lovingly
fondling it like a man would do if he
were whittling off the end of hi nose.
Only the wealthy whittle anyway, be
cause the timber is scarce.
Gojng West from Kansa City, on
the Kansas Pacific Railroad not even
a tro was in sight, but from the track
to the sky beyond wus a sea of living
green, a vast unlimited field of bril
liant sod. I don't know as "brilliant"
is a proper qualifier for sod, but I
heard a finely educated gentleman on
the cars the other day speak of an "el
egant sausage." And his shirt opened
These are admirable grazing lands.
I did not see cattle on a thousand
hills, but I saw a thousand cattle on
no hills. Herd after herd we passed
as we whirled along, and attending
them were rough looking men ou
horses. Men who have been idolized
in novels, only in novel they are
known as rangers, but here they, are
simply denominated "bull-whackers."
If you come across any statements
in this letter that appears to be rather
figurative, so to speak, you' must re
member that the letter is written on
the cars while in motion, which are
apt to make the soundest statements
and the most awful truths annear
vague like. The motion of a running
iraiu is uncertain, i start to give
soin facta that would make a river
open it mouth, when a sudden move
sends the pencil out of the golden
realms of truth into the obscene at
mosphere of levity. I wish now that
I had written this pamphlet at lb Jbo
tel, because Dsnver ia a very delicate
subject to handle under the most fa
vorable circumstances.
P. S. I may .be mistaken, but I
feel certain that a careftif survey of
tne anove letter will not reveal the
least reference to Pike' Peak and
Long' Peak a being so far distant
and so wonderfully disceruable from
Denver. I am the only writer who
