The Brigadiers and their Demo
cratic allies in Congress were not
content with the veto of their first
revolutionary bill by the President,
bnt they must needs thrust their
cloven foot out a second time, and
frame a bill or a"t entitled, "An act
to prohibit military interference at
elections," and hactilr pass it through
both Houses and send it to the Pres
ident. The President received it,
and promptly vetoed it on Monday.
Met-sage next issue.
Tag object of the bills that the
President has vetocl. is to so tie tip
the power of the Executive of the
nation that in the event of the Brig'-1
adi-rs gelling their new revolution
started m a military course in tuc
States, the President will be power
less to interfere This time they
want to be certain that the President
shall have no warrant of law to inter
fere with their work in the States.
The democrat and Reguter last week
rjnotei from tho Declaration of In
dependence of 177G. It has been a
long time alwut finding the docu
ment: and when it misapplies the
quotation, by way cf consolation it
may be referred to the man who was
in love with a pretty woman who did
not return L:i l'jve. He said :
" Tit better to hare loved and lost,
7 bin never to hare loved at all."
Ii is better for the Democrat and
Register to misquote than never quote
at all. It quotes the Declaration of
Indf pendente as against King George
the Thir Z, for haviug a standing army
among the colonies, to lead the peo
ple to believe that the present gov
ernment is a sort of a King George
the Third government. It, by in
ference, tries to maka it appear
that when the araj of the Re
public is used to put down such
Democratic riots as took place in
New York, and when it put down
the Rbeii-'o, and wlien it broke np
the Ku-K:ux and the White Leaguers,
it was djing is King George's army
did in the Revolution, or before the
Revolution. The Democrat and Ren
ter would have done better if it had
quoted, or told its readers that the
Declaration of Independence declares
that all men are bom free and equal
before the 1-r.v, and it might have told
the truth by telling that the army, in
its operations against Rebellion,
against the New York riots, against
the Ku-Klux, White Leaguers, and so
forth, was simply enforcing the fun
damental doctrines as taught by
Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration
of Independence.
There is some hope for the Demo
crat and Register when it begins to
study the Declaration of Indepen
dence. Raad the d-x-ument often.
The Denioeiai iu Congress, it ap
pears, are deterojined to uuseat United
btetcs Senator Kellogg, of Louisiana.
A dispatch from Washington, last ed
ostday, said in regard to the ease :
The iiiitiatory step towards ousting
Senator Kellorg from Lis seat :n the
Senate has been taken, and at 7 o'clock
this evening, after debating the subject
iocs noon, the resolution conferring
upon '.he Committre on Elections power
to conduct an inquiry into the charge
of obtaining bis aeit by bribery, pre
ferred against Kellogg by the contest
ant Spofford, was passed by a strict
prty vute. The speech of Senator
Keilogg in his own defense was the prin
cipal cue of the debate, and produced
a profound sensation. II is strongest
point was tbat although each and every
allegation coutaiced to sp..ffrd's uieu
eri&l wis an itiUictable offense under
the lsws of Lnuihiana, yet, despite tbe
fact that tbe Democrats held full sway
over every department of that State
for two years, and absolutely controlled
its machinery of justice, and bad ex
tracted every device to fasten some
criminal cfieo.se upon him witb a vie 17
to procuring bis indictment, they bad
not succeeded, and be declared tbey
never would succeed. Mr. Kellogg
told the DemocaaM in plain terms what
be thought of the entire proceedicg,
and reminded tbe:n that tbe time would
yet come ben the chalice would be
eointLecded to their own lips. For
years be bad walked in the valley and
shadow of death. Juries had been
packed and witnesses subpenaed to End
iniio:uients against bim, but be bad
come out i.f it uosiuircbed. In con
clusion, he picked up three folded pa
pers and wi tbat be was prepared to
disclose some historical events which
would be unpalatable to bis persecutors
He was prepared to show tbat within
the last three weeks this memorialist
bad been attempting to bribe members
of tbe Louisiana Legislature tj testify
in accordance with bis wishes.
The revolutionary work of the
Brigadiers, and the movement to
wrongfully unseat Mr. Keilogg, stir
red the Republican Senators to tbe
ne of keen, incisive, truthful lan
guage iu debate, on the floor of the
Senate last Friday. Chandler, Ed
mund. and Blaine threw themselves
into the breach, to check the advanc
ing movement of the new revolution.
Jlr. Chandler said that history is
to day repeating itself, and you are
to-day repeating hat you did in 1857.
You are crowding your men off the
bridge. And the men of to-d .y as
the men of 1S.17 will dink intj the
waters of oblivion to rise no more
forever. Look at the change that
has taken place since that time. Sir,
the people are more thoroughly
arouseil to-day against this dectrine,
this heresy of State rights, than they
were fioiu" 1857 to 1SC1. You pro
posed to lw.sion Jefferson Davis,
and every single one of your North
ern allies voted to pension him. You
eulogized him as a patriot to be com
pared side by side with Washington
and all the patriots of the Revolu
tion, end every one of your Northern
allies voted aye. After the close of
the rebellion you claimed that yon
were poor anu'suffering, and we found
you poor and suffering; we found
yon ragged and poor, iud we clothed
yoa ; we put upon you the" robe of
American citizenship which yon tad
forfeited, and we kiiied for you the
fatted calf and invited yon to the
feast, supposing that you, after being
riothed, were in your right mind.
And when we invited you to the feast
jou said : " We bave always owned
that calf, and you Lave no interest in
it" Laughter. Now you inform
ua that you are goin J to repeal all the
Republican measures. What is the
job you have undertaken ? You ere
going to undo all that the Republi
can party Las done. Where do you
begin f Do you begin at Appomat
tox cr before T It is very important
to know where you commence and
then to kpow where you propose to
stop. You have undertaken a very
large job for a party of your size and
with the people who are to sit as
judges upon your acts. You Lave
undertaken to unseat a man in this
body, but you will deny that you
have undertaken the job- you Lave
simply undertaken to investigate the
case of a Senator ca this floor that
has been decided by the highest tri
bunal that could act on that question.
Sir, there are twelve Senators on that
side of tho house thut every man on
this side believes has a poorer title to
his seat thn the honorable Senator
from Loalf-iruia. By fraud and vio
Ln; e you occupy your eeats. Now
show iis the roa J hew to vacate seats
in this body if yon dare.
Mr. E:vton I call the Senator to
order.
Mr. Chandler Very well, sir, I will
take your point of order.
Mr. Eater My pt.int is that the
Senator from Michigan is entirely
out of order when he says that twelve
Senators on this floor hold their seats
by fraud and violence.
Mr. Chan Her I did not siy that ;
I arid they hold their seats by a poor
er title.
Mj. E:don You said fraud and
violence.
Mr. Chandler I eaid we believed
it, and so I d ) believe, and so I have
a right to (relieve.
Mr. Garland af ked that the exact
words be taken down.
The official reporter read the words
as taken down by him and as given
above.
Mr. Beck called upon Mr. Chan
dler to name the men who held their
stats by fraud and violen ?e.
Mr. ilill (Ga.) hoped that the ques
tion would be dropped.
Mr. E.iton sai l the remarks of the
Senator from Michigan were insult
ingly out of order and called for a
ruling by the Chair.
The President pro tern, overruled
the point of order.
There le:rg considerable confusion
in the chamber Mr. Davis (W. Va.)
Baked for the enforcement of order
both on the floor and in the galleries.
Order having been restored Mr.
Chandler resumed as follows : 1 think
every Senator on this side of the
chamber believes that there are twelve
Senators on that side who hold their
title to their seats by a slimmer,
poorer basis than my honorable friend
from Louisiana. That is what I in
tended to state ; that it was our be
lief that their seats were obtained
and are held by fraud and violence.
But, Mr. President, I did not rise to
discuss this question. I simply rose
to say to the other side, you have
your diy in court m ike the most of
it. Your time is sho"t. The people
of the North have taken this ques
tion in hanL and from the Atlantic
to the Pacific, from one end of this
land to the other the people are
aroused and alarmed at the state
ments that have been made and the
action that has been taken in the Sen
ate chamber and in the otaer House
within the Inst sixty days. Let me
say to you, gentlemen on the other
side of the chamber, mene,mene,tekel,
vpharsin, is written all over your
brows.
Amono the Pennsylvania Legislators
this sessiou is a Greenback-Labor-Reform
eight-hour member, who intro
duced a bill impesirg heavy penalties
against tbe employment of people
for a period of moie than eight hours a
dy. Tbat was bis hobby in the earlier
"art of the session, but latterly be for
got Lis ri Jove (or rif ut hours, and 10
tbe introduction of a resuI?tion, mfed
that the Legislature, or the lower hous
of it, "bold two sessions a day, of five
hours each. Of course such contradic
tions from one and tbe same man must
Deeds kill both bills, and stamp ths au
thor as a demagogue.

The Southern planter and briga
diers arc about to engage in a new en
terprise, in some of tbe Southern
States. J Ley propose to civilize and
Christianize the heathen Chinees, by
engaging them in large numbers to work
on the plantations. Meanwhile the
colored people are hurrying off to the
Territories, to make homes for them
selves. After a while the country v ill
learn bow tbe heathen Chinee likes the
Christian civilization of the South.
A MSPATCH from England says :
The English are di.icuseiug the subject
of compulsory vaccination. A law is
pending in Parliament to extend the
compulsory system to Ireland. Tbe
opposition is bitter and ably conducted.
Several leading medical men join in the
opposition, which is based on tbe ground
that vaccination is a frightful agent in
spreading diseases of a syphilitic, scrof
ulous and erysipelatous nature, and tbat
it is not a preventive of small-pox. Mr.
Giadstouc question! the wisdom of the
law.
" V.OfvSiox missionaries operate ex
tensively and successfully in in Scot
land. The "saints" have in that
country of oatmeal, bills, lochs aud
orthodox theology a patriarch, four
high priest!', Eve councillors of seven
ties, sixty nine elders, four deacons and
C?7 uieniters. Last year 132 persons
were baptized in tbe faith and 131 con
verts were sent to the promised land of
the polygamist Ltah."
The Ilarrisburg Telegraph says :
When tbe veto cf tbe military bill first
appeared in print, Democratic organs
jumped upon it, stamped it, and tore it
to tatters. Tbey are now gathering op
tbe pieces, and bave begun to argue
tbeir points. This looks like submis
sion. Whenever men resort to argu
ment there is hope for them.
Tbe Democracy of tbe Stat are not
quite harmonious on the question of an
early State Convention. One wing of
the party tuy the early convention is
to secure the nomination of liarr, of
Pittsburg, for Siate Treasurer.
TUB committee appointed as per
action of Pennsylvania Seuate to re
ceive General Grant when he returns
from foreign travels ire, Messrs. Grady,
G azz.nl, Smith, Cooper, Roberts, Lem
on, Butierfield, Wright, McNeill and
Rover. '
Or the Gth inst., the committee on
resolutions iu the Mississippi Valley
Labo Convention, reported, "that,
after ft careful esnmiaation of the
subject, they Lad concluded that the
exodus of negroes to Kansas was due
to the low pri; of cotton and the
partial failure of the crop ; to a vicious
system of credit ; to apprehension on
the part of many that their civil and
political rights were endangered, and
to reports of a life of ease and plenty
to be Lai in Kansas. They submit
ted resolutions favoring an improve
ment in the contract system 1 assert
ing that the colored race are on a
legal plane of absolute equality with
the whites; pledging themselves to
do all in their power to protect the
negroes in their rights ; favoring the
repeal of all laws authorizing liens
on crops for articles other than those
of priiuo necessity, and recognizing
the right of the colored people to go
where they pleaso, but urging on
them the importance of looking bo
fore they leap. After a long discus
sion the resolutions wcro adopted,
the iiegr.cs refusing to vote. They
are very well satisfied with the result
of the Convention, end it is believed
the exodus will be checked by it"
' Last Thursday the Brooklyn Pres
bytery acquitted 'he Rev. Mr. i almage
of falsehood aud deceit by a vote of lid
to 20, tbe large majority which was ex
pected having been reduced by the
lay elders, who stood 9 to 3 for con
viction. A resolution offered by Dr.
Rockwell was adopted, embodying the
result of the vote in an expression of
opinion by the Presbytery that Mr.
Talmage had been entirely free from
any intentional wrong. Dr. Yaodkye
presented a notice of appeal to the syn
od of Long Island, signed by eight
members of the minority. Mr. Tal
mage then stepped forward and ad
dressed the Presbytery for half an
hour in one of Lis most characteristic
speeches."

A Stirring Appeal for Aid.
The following aJJ.css Las been
issued by the colored people's conven
tion, teccLlly held in Louisiana: We,
the representative of the people of Af
rican decent in Louisianna, iu conven
tion assembled, Bjleninly and truly de
clare before God and the country tbat
we are denied the freedom of tbe ballot
klid equality before the law, and that
in the unholy persecutions visited npon
us for our political opinions, the ut
most limit of endurance has beea reach
ed. Oar grievances, which we have pa
tiently and hopefully borce, have been
numerous and cruel.
We have suffered ostracism in viola
tion of divine precepts.
We bave been denied our civil rights
in nttcr disregard of tbe Jaws of the
Commonwealth.
The courts have aggravated our
wrongs by mocking our appeals for re-
Out" school bouses, churches and
homes bave bees reduced to ashes' with
impunity.
We have b. en sytematically cheated
and plundered by planters and country
merchants until starvation stares ns in
the face.
15 y a wicked combination we are for
ced to rent land at $10 an acre per
year, which could not be sold fee sim
ple for $5 per acre.
Our representative men have been
driven from their homes and forc-id to
abandon their property and household
goods because of tbeir Republicanism.
Our people have been whipped, mur
dered and outraged when tbey would
not be seduced and could not be co
erced from the party which emanci
pated them.
Our cry in terror for Lelp, fur pro
tection, and against political assassin
ations has been shamefully ridiculed
by our guilty enemies as tbe waving
of the "bloody shirt," without any
foundation.
If we are illiterate, it is because
white men made it a crime to teach us
to read the Bible.
If we are poor, it is because we Lave
been denit-d the right of property, life
liberty, and tbe pursuit of happiness.
Our past in tbe South has been an
existence of sorrow, tears and blood,
and nndar tbe unchristian and despotic
publio sentiment, tbe future is without
a rav of hope.
We bave almost been driven to des
peration through the yellow fever, the
Southern policy abd political massacres.
For these and other reasons, wbicb
are a matter of record, we ' appeal for
material aid to the official sod moral
influences of the President of tbe United
States for whom many persons of Af
rican descent, rather than be false to
principle, willingly sacrificed their
lives.
We appeal to Congress for a favor
able consideration in behalf of the suf
fering, hunted, persecuted, and starv
ing exiles.
We appeal in our necessities, to tbe
Republican party, to which we bave
conscientiously and faitLfully adhered,
for which we bave been scourged and
massacred.
We appeal to the liberality cf good
men in tbe Democratic party who are
opposed to tbe wicked methods prac
ticed npon. 't defenseless people for po.
litical opinions.
We appeal to the hearts of the chris
tian public; to the churches and all
other organizatioLS who Lave observed
our patience and endurance under the
reign of terror.
We appeal with confidence to tbe
loyal aeDtiinent which saved the Repub
lic, because much of tbe bitteroeffl and
hostility visited upon our people was
intensified by our demotion to tbe tluioo
ia lbs struggle witb rebellion.
We appeal lor aid to tbe old anti
slavery apostles, who never failed us in
the past when we fled from the bouse of
bondage, and upou whom we now rely
in our enforced exile from the spirit of
oppression.
We appeal for succor to the Society
of Friends in this our journey through
the wilderness of Southern bate to tbe
land of promise, where we may live in
peace, security and happiness.
We appeal in our distress to tbe
country at large, which bss authentic
and historic evidence of tbe outrages
and masraeres Visited npon ns with im
punity, for no other reasons than at
tempting to exercise our rights as Amer
icau citizens.
We appeal to these and all other
classes and conditions who sympathize
with us in our wrongs, who are willing
to help us in our flight to save our lives
and enjoy our liberty, to respond to our
wail for moral and material aid to mi
grate to a State where political assassi
nations are unknown and where the bull
dozer cannot reach ns.
" 0." Thursday last, tbe great prize
fight between Dwycr and Ellio't was
wou by Dwycr in twelve rounds, Elliott
being very severely punished, laving
five ribs broken. Tbe fight took place
at Longpcint, Canada, on the stue
grounds where Morrissey and Heenan
fought in 1853. About 600 people
witnessed the " contest," representa
tives being present from tho largo
cities and Canada- The fight began at
11:40 and lasted only twelve minutes."
A correspondent of tbe Philadelphia
Record described the fight thus :
First round At a quarter past
twelve o'clock, at tbe call of time both
men came up lively, and after tbe us
ual custom of all hands around, squar
ed for business, Dwyer remarking to
bis opponent:.l'll polish yon off Jim
my." His style was free, and bis ac
tive movement j clastic Elliott, tthj
seemed stiff, led off but missed and al
so missed bis conter. He tried it
again with the same results, and Dwy
er made bis counter tell. They then
went at it witb both bands, and clinch
ing, Elliott was thrown. Time 40
seconds.
Second round IJoth men showed
evidence af their inaugural work and
were a trifle short of wind. The mo
ment tbey faced Elliott got in a heavy
one on the breast of Dwyer, who gave
him one in return in the left eye. In
the volley that followed Elliott went
down on his knees aud got a couple
of stingers in the face. An appeal was
taken by his umpire, but it was not al
lowed. Third round This was over almost
as soon as it commenced. Tbey began
with both hands. Elliot received a well
delivered blow on the nose, which laid
tbe skin open, and he went down. It
looked to some like a knock down, but
no claim was made for it.
Fourth round Elliott was evidently
a defeated men. He was weak; bis
left eye was completely closed, and
bis face badly bruised. Still he stuck
to bis work, and afier bitting right
aud left, induced a lively rally and
put Dwyer over the ropes. As they
went down Lis seconds raised a cry of
alarm, and insisted that an attempt bad
been made to bite bim. Elliott was
cautioned by the referee. Time 35
seconds.
Fifth round A desperate man takes
desperate chances. In this round El
liott became a trickster, aud after a
fierce rally, in which both men were
thoroughly pounded, be got Dwyer over
the ropes sod undertook to gouge biio
but without success. Dwyer was uu
der in the fall, but turned Elliott com
pletely over on bis back, showing su
periority as a wrestler. - Klliwtt was
agiiu cautioned. Time 45 seconds.
Sixth round Dwyer hit Elliot right
and left. Too feeble to return the
blows, Elliott went down on bis knees
in tbe middle of tbe ring. Time 8
seconds.
Seventh round Elliott led twice
and missed on both occasiocs. Dwyer's
I counters resulting the same, he led witb
his Ml and mst touched Elliott who
then grabbed turn n2 in me cuncu
gouged Dwver. A ciali of 'c?'
made, but it was not allowed.
Time
24 seconds.
Eighth round Elliott was in deplor
able condition, particularly about bis
face and head. Dwyer weui right at
him boldly and failed to get io ei'her
of two blows tbat be delivered. H'.l
iot therefore, gave him a tap on tiie
forehead. Dwyer led with bis left,
and tbe counter of Ei'iott falling short
Dwyer gave him one ia tbe stomach
that made bim sick, and be went down
witb tbe starch pretty well taken out
of bim. First knock down for Dwyer.
Time 25 seconds.
Ninth round At the call Dwyer
fearlessly approached EUIiott, who re
treated to tbe middle stake, when be
resorted to a rush and put Dwyer down
over tbe ropes and bit bun. There
were claims of a foul, and while Elliott
was being sponged tbe referee walked
oer to bim and told him that if he was
cuilty of any more Euch performance
be would lose the light Time 20
seconds.
Tenth round The men were quick
ly together, and Elliott, after some
sparring again played bis old trick of
clinching, and Dwyer being under in
the fall, Elliott again gouged bim.
Tbe men wete seperated with difficulty
and Dwyer was decidedly mad. Time
40 seconds.
Eleventh round Dwyer went at
Elliott in a very ugly way Ha bit
him right and left, whereupon Elliott
fell. Dwyer did not receive a blow,
and, visions of the glory of being tbe
American champion dancing before bis
eyes, made biie excitant, happy and
more determined than ever. Time 31
seconds.
Twelfth round Elliott came forward
looking pretty thoroughly whipped.
He appeared dejected in spirit and was
in a deplorable way physically ; bis
left eye was black and closed and tbe
blond was flowing freely from ugly cuts
on tbe nose and left cbeek bone, while
lite whole face was a mass of contusions
showing wbat heavy bitting Dwyer bad
given bim. He led for Dwyer aod bit
bim in tbe forehead. Dwyer counter
ed quickly and struck Elliot a tetriffic
blow on the leftside of tbe bead, caus
ing bim to stagger back. Following
hi in np, he gave bim a second blow in
tbe same manner, and then a third a
regular ems.her npon tbe temple of
Elliott, dazed and knocked clean out
of time, grabbed Dwyer around the
waist, wheo Dwyre pat him eccroi bis
hip, lifted him from the ground and
and fairly threw hiut dawn with all
bis might and BTarS. In eoussqience of
Elliott's hold not behrg loosened, Dwyer
went down with his full weight on top
of bim ; a'od as Ediott strdck the earth
with a dull and beavy thud, tbe crush
ing of bis libs could.be plainly beard
on tbe ring side.
. It was a terrible spectacle that fol
lowed. As Dwyer, who was also feeling
tbe effects of tbe contest rolled off bis
antagonist and waited to be picked np.
Elliott was seen lying where be bad
fallen, limp and siotionless. Cries cf
"He's dead" were raised, and when
his seconds went to pick bim np tbey
found bim insensible, and in fact more
dead than alive. Tbey carried him to
bis corner and ..iced bim on bis chair
but he fell oft of it the minute tbey let
go of him.
The sponge was thrown np by Goss,
and Referee Smith declared Dwyer the
winner.
Tbe time of the last round 34 sec
onds. Total time of tbe fight, V2 min
uter 40 seconds.
Elliott and Goss are now in Erie.
Elliott is badly used cp, at least five
ribs being fractured. He eannot moved
fcra day or two.
General Grant in India.
How the Party is Reeled by the Ileal
The Reception at Benares.
J. R. Toons; in the Kw York Ilerald.
Travel in India during the day is
very severe. Tho only members of
our party about whom we Lave anx
iety on the ground of fatigue are Mr.
Borie and Jlrs. Grant The friends
of Mr. Borie will be glad to know
that ho has stood the severest part of
his journey around the world won
derfully well, considering the years
that rest upon him and his recent
illness. Mr. Borie is a comprehen
sive traveler, anxious to see every
thing, who enters into our journey
with the zest and eagerness of a boy,
itA whose eiiiability and kindness,
patieL-e under fatigue and consider
ation for all about him, Lave added a
charm to our journey. Mrs. Grant
has also stood the journey, especial
ly tbe severer phases of it, marvel
lously, and justifies tho reputation
for endurance and energy which she
won on the Xile. As for the General,
he is, so far as himself is concerned,
a severe and merciless traveler, who
never tires, always ready for an ex
cursion or an experience, and as in
different to the comforts and neces
sities of the way as when in the Vicks
burg campaign he would make Lis
bivouac at the foot of a tree. There
is a military quality in travelling on
the General's part, that he will map
out his route for days ahead from
maps and time tables, arrange just
the hour of arrival and departure,
and never vary it Iu the present
case, however, the wishes of the Vice
roy, who has been most cordial in his
welcome, and who is anxious to go
to the hills, has shortened otir trip,
and changed the General's plan.
What we shall do after leaving Cal
cntta is uncertain. The telegraph
will hsve told you before yon have
this letter. If the Richmond is in
reach, or there is some other vessel
of the navy within reach, the General
will take her for the purpose of visit
ing some of the out-of-the-way points
outside of the beaten track of travel.
He will also go to Madras and see
the Duke of Buckingham, and to Cey
lon. If she has not entered tho In
dian Ocean, the General will keep on
with such passenger lines as he can
find, and be home early in the Eum
mer.
We were all tired and frowsy, and
not wide awake when tbe train shot
into Benares station. The English
representative of the Viceroy, Mr.
Daniells, came on the train and wel
comed the General to Benares. Then
we descended, and the blare of trum
pets, the word of command, with
which we have become so familiar,
told of the guard of honor. The
General and Mrs. Grant accompa
nied by the leading militiry and civic
English representatives and native
rajahs walked down the line with un
covered heads. Tho night was clear,
a full moon 6hining and the heavens
a dome of light, which softened the
1 lan.i.sv"t)e, anl seemed to bring into
riirh'.rone priunence the outlines
i-.f ti e sacred ciij. One1 coul I well
iuogir.e that Benares, the eternal
city, fuvored of the gods, might al
ways look as it did when we came
into it. The blending of uniforms,
the English officers in scarlet the na
tive princes in rich and flowing gar
ments blazing with gems on one
side the line of armed men, on the
other a curions crowd of Indians all
combined to make the scene Oriental
and vivid. In honor of the General a
coming, the road from the station to
the government house had been illu
minated. Poles Lad been 6tnck in
the ground on either side of the road,
and from these poles lanterns and
small glass vessels filled with oil, were

England and home, fascinated by the
marvellous beauty of the night a
beauty that affected you like music.
