No Eerolutioa or War.
Of t&e tbr- State in dispute, Flor
ida and Louisiana bave been declared
by the C mtnission to be for Hajrr
Oregon, at this writing (Tueedsy), baa-
not ret been declared for either Byes
or Tilden, but it it geoerally eooceded
to Hayes.
Last Friday, after the Commission
Lad decland Louisiana for Iliyei, a
number of Democrats at Washington
were ug.' in their laupuageand manner,
aud if they bad bad tbeir way, they
would bare carried tbeir party into
revolutionary work.
Ou Saturday and Monday evenings
tiio Ivaiocrary beld caucuaea at
Washington, and in them tbey bad
a warm -time. The honorable ele-
Utfni of the party easily carried tbe
day against the revolutionists, and thus
loey have toid the country that their
tarty shall not be carried for revolu
tion and vr, ia the face of a plan for
-tilexeut that tl.ey all agreed to.
The Barrel of Money in Oregon
Cipher Despatches.
It was exceedingly unkind on the
part of the erring brethren of the Dent
ocracy to shout fraud, and at the Fame
time bare their brightest lights in New
York extend tbeir hand of corruption to
the distaut field of Oregon, by empty
ing tbeir barrel of money there.
When Mr. Tildeo discovered that tbe
election hung on a single elector, there
n a rapid casting about for a man
that could be bought. Tbe man that
was so much wanted was not found in
Florida, in South Carolina, or in Lou
isiana, but in tbe far-off State of Ore
gou be was found, and New York gold,
that came from so near tbe pocket of
Mr. Tilden that tbe only evidence that
it really did not come out of bia pocket
is the evidence that tome one aaw it
handed cut, was the means that swung
cue elector for Mr. Tilden in Oregon.
It was a monstrous fraud that was at
tempted. The '.'ongressional committees bave
revealed it all, aud tbe Democracy
sUud ainaxid over their own corrupt
work. They thought they had the cat-e
pretty well smuggled, but, as the say
lug goes, "Murder aill out," and now
tbe record is fearful. Tbeir despatches
ia cipher have been deciphered, and
with other evidence before tbe Con
gressional committee make the case
clear tbat the one elector claimed for
Mi. Tilden in Oregon was bought by
New York gold.
As a specimen of tbe cipher despatches
translated, the following few are pub
lished :

An' Attempt to Assassiifata the
GoTef&or of Louisiana.
Tbeir ia a belief aiuoog a large nam
ber of intelligent people of the Nut A
that Georgia, North I'arolioa, Alwfcama
and )lusiasippi were carrftd ia the late
election by a rystem of falimidation,
by burning out, whipping, abooting and
banging, a cowple of moutbi before
election Asy. A large onuber of peo
ple believe tbat the aforesaid State
were carried for Tildeo in oo oiber way,
and a despatch from New Orleans last
Thursday, tbat a murderous attempt
had been made to take the life of the
Governor of Louisiana strengthens tbat
belief. It is a world wide known fact
the ex rebel element bare set up a gov
ernment of their owu in tbat State, aud
by bock and crook bare been trying to
get rid of the Packard government.
The last agent employed has been the
assassin. Most possibly it was believed
by the bad men frr none are so mis
guided aa bid men that the Comaiis-
ion ' Washington would decide in
l favor of Mr. Tilden, on that Jay, aod
then the Nioolls government in Louisi
ana, in whose interest tbe assassins
seemed to be acting, would be en tab
Iished.
Tbe great mass of the party in the
North who followed Mr. Tilden, cer
tainly are opposed to such murderous
work, but if tbeir chieftain bad been
elected President, the men who would
bave controled them would be the men
who are band and glove in witb the as
tassiti. Here is tbe account of tbe at
tempted assassination last Thursday, by
an eye-witness :
Two men, one of them the wounded
man, who gave bis bame as Joseph Hut
tie, bat whose real nstne, from papers
found in bis possession, is aseertained
to be W. II. Weldon, and a slim, one
armed mao, who gve do name, called
at the drr of the State Capitol aod
asked to see Mr. Packard. There was
some demur about adiuittiug them,
when one proclaimed himself to be an
ex-Federal officer and the other a dis
charged soldier. They were btnnght
to the bead of the stairs, where Weldon
represented that be was correspondent
of tbe Philadelphia Press and desired
to see Governor Packard. Tbe name
of Joseph Huttle was seat in, but the
one-armed man declined to enter. Wel
don reached tbe Executive office, where
be found Mr. Packard seated at bia
dedc, talking to Judge Boremao, of
Caddo, who occupied a chair ou bia
right. Weldon eat down in a vacant
ebair immediately on Mr. Packard's
left, aod after an instant somewhat
sharply asked : "When can I see you !"
Mr. Packaid tuined and found a pistol
aimed at bis bead. He immediately
struck it down, and the weapon was
discharged, the ball striking bim in tbe
right knee cap and inflicting a slight
wound. Mr. Packard immediately
dealt the man a blow with tbe fist,
striking bim between '.ha eyes aod
knocking him down. Several parties in
the room drew tbeir pistols and fired,
wounding tbe would be assassin serious
ly, but out fatally. Of course a scene
of intense excitement immediately fol
lowed. The one-armed man was ar
rested and conveyed to the office of tbe
superintendent of police, aud Weldou
as kept a close prisoner iu the Execu
tive office. Mr. Packard was conveyed
to bis private apartment, on the second
floor of the building, where bis wound
was examiued by Dr. W. A. Siuytbe.
It is not of a serbus character, but
might prove so if not carefully tended,
and will lame bin: for several days.
The man who shot Packard sais that
his name is William Henry Weldon
and that bia home is in Philadelphia.
He says further that be has a mother
aod sister living tbcte. Witb regard
to bis attempt to kill Packard be says
that there were four others witb bim,
who were to bave assisted him iu tbe
undertaking, but that upon reaching
the door of tbe State House they re
fused to go in aud left bim to carry out
the intended plan of assassination alone.
Weldon is not very seriously hurt ; tbe
ball struck bim in the left arm, just be
low tbe shoulder, and seems to bave
come out at tbe elbow. It was thought
at first that be was killed, but it seems
he was only stunned and feint from loss
of blood. At half-past 12 be was so
much revived as to be able to eouverse
witb those about bim.
"'That's My Husband."
"Two ladies, uukuown to each other,
stood at the shawl counter of a St.
Louis store examining tbe same gar
ment. Tbe first expressed ber desire
to buy it, but was unable to do so, as
ber husband bad told ber tbat she must
retrench as much as possible. " Then
I will take it," said the other, M and
you may charge it to Mr. ." The
effect of tbe name upon the lady who
couldn't afford to buy tbe shswl was
electrical " That's my busbaad !"
sb shrieked, and a scene ensued whicb
resulted in tbe clerk putting tbe shawl
back upon the shelf."
A Lawyer Shot.
" Captain Timblin, a former well
knewn Butler county oil operator, wbo
went to Custer city, iu the Black Hills,
about a year ago, to practice law, was
shot there the other day by the defend
ant in a case, while be was engsged in
an argument in bebalf of tbe plaintiff."
Two Miles of Corn Cribs.
"Over two miles of corn cribs, filled
to the top with ear corn of the best
quality, are now to be seen at tbe stations
oo tbe line of tbe Chicago and Alton
Railroad, in tbe great corn-growing dis
trict of Illinois."

Tbe circumstantial detail of 384
years tbe years that bave opeued a
new world and created a mighty nation
was never given in better style than
in this work. When we look through
the bulky volumes of liauorolt we won
der that one man should attempt to
write ail the history ol our country
when tbe preliminary portion of 11 takes
up so much space. But we cannot aee
that Professor Kidpatu has omitted a
single material fact that is contained io
Bancroft, while be bas avuided tbat
tedious detail which unfits the work of
tbe latter for popular use. Tbe in
trigues of the English Court and Cabi
net, the petty squabbles of the House
of Commons, the rise and fall of parties
in England, whicb are supposed to have
had an iufluence on American affair,,
these are indeed omitted from Prof.
RidpatVs work ; but in their stead is
given a brief and masterly summary of
the causes whicb led to the American
Revolution, which wo venture to say,
conveys a better understanding of the
matter to ninety-nine in every hundred
readers. Take for instance tbe follow
ing extract :
" Another cause leading to the Revolu
tion aa found io the natural dupotitio and
tnnmltd character of Iht colom$tt. Tlu-y
were, tor the must tvtrt, republicans in pol
itics and dissenters in religion. Tbe peo
ple ot fcnguud were monarc lusts and lligb
Churchmen. Tbe colonists had never seen
a king. The Atlantic lay between them and
the British ministry. Their dealings miib
the royal officers bad been anchaa to engen
der a dislike lor nmnarchial instituiions.
Tbe people ot America had not forgotten
could Dot ell lorgeU the circumstances
under which their ancestors bad cvuie to
tbe New World. For six generations the
colonists had managed their own affairs;
and their methods ol government were ne
cessarily republican. The experiences of
the t rench and lodihu Har h id shown tbat
Americans were fully able to delend them
selves and their country."
As one important cause, is not that
more satisfactory than a volume of com
mentary T
Tbe author's rare ability to condense
a vast amount of information into a sin
gle paragraph is shown in any of bis
numerous, graceful biographies. Take
tbe following on Benjamin Franklin :
" BtWAJiis Fsankli, the author of the
first treaty between the I' tilted States and a
foreign nation, was born in Boston on the
17th of January, 1706. His father was a
manufacturer of soup and candles. To this
humble vocation the young Bcnj unin was
devoted by his arents; but the ualli of a
canille-shop were too narrow for his aspir
ing genius. At ihe age of twelve he was
apprenticed to his brottier to learn the art
ol printing ; but the b.otlier beat him, and
: be rn on- to New Tork. There he lound
I no employment. In l.-.'3 lie repaired to
' Philadelphia, entered a rinting oiheff, and
r"e " d,,stl"cl"in- "e ,r,"iu.1 E'-s''" :
returned ; tomided Ine hist circulating liora-
I no employment. In 1723 he repaired to
I ry iu America; becamu a man of science:
j and devoted the unimpaired energies of hi
,01.
age to perfecting the American L'nion.
. The name ol Franklin is one of the Drieht-
1
I est iu the historr of any nation."
In this work Prof. Ridpath bas sur
mounted one difficulty whicb confrouts
all historian; to set forth all the facts,
with fitting comments, without on the
one band making bis work too volumi
nous for common use, or on the other
making it a mere outline of dry aud
disconnected facts.
