Another Speech by Senator Hen- © . drieks. ; Demoeratic ’3%: ification Meeting at From the San Francisco Herald, Aug. 92. The Democracy were out in goodly force last night to ratify the nominations. The Metropolitan theatre was crowded with the audience, and a meeting was. also gotten up 'in the street, o%posite the tieatxe, wﬁich,was addressed by a number of speakers. The chairman, aftcr a short address, m;duced Senator Hendricks, of Ina. £ |

The Senator prefaced his remarks with some impressions respecting the resources of ti.ll:is State. 'an£ the development c;f its i_ndlnstriea :d andththé neicessity o er uardi em b tthe 13@1353 -o%”’g:e lconngtry. H{. said in descending the Sacramento river he was strongly impressed with the wealth of the agricultural interest. We now produce wheat te the value of s2o,ooo,ooo—in 20 years to expand probab};y to $40,000,000 or $60,000,000. Banks and brokers cannot support San Francisco—the great city of the future ;it must be agriculture, and with ' agriculture will aﬁfuow ‘a commerce which will make the Golden Gate truly a golden gate in California. For the protection of these interests you demand your shéare in the policy of the government. ; How are you to obtain it ? So long as you re-. | tain your gowers within your own’ hands and that of yoar: chosen ' representatives. So long as' they are shielded by the sovereignty of the State, { 8o long will the men ot California exert their proper influence. Let the time come when California shall cease to retain those sovereign powers of looking after the wants of the péople on this far-off coast, and those powers be absorbed in the central government, and each individual looses that personal influence. It can only be ;S)reeervpd and united through the tate government. Men in distant parts are not known unless they make themselves felt. In ‘France, Paris is France. Let the powers and rights of the States cease, and Washington ,will become the United States, and will control all this country. It is of special . importance to you that California shall retain all *the powers which the fathers of the constitution guaranteed them. Thée framers of the constitution devised this plan that all questions affecting our foreign re“lations shall be decided by the general government, and all local questions shall be reserved for the action of those who are the best acquainted with them and afflicted by them. The people of San Francisco know what they want, and it was for them through the mu‘nicipal government to devise their ! means to attain them. Congress can- . not do this properly. - Phe speaker said hie mind had been led in ithis. line of remark because the proposed fifteenth amendment, if adopted, would impair these powers of local government. ' The /constitution ¢f 1779 provides that each State shall %ecide for ‘itself all questions as to who ghall vote and hold office ; but this amendment provides that hereafter no State shall giscrimi- | nate 'against race or color, ‘but that each shall beé bound by a central law ~over which {the State shall have no ~control. = It provides also that congress ehall have power to exceute its will by such legislation as it may consider proper. $ i i The Republicans are using a dodge in this State, They say it is of no importance how Californin goes ; that the question will be decided without ‘ber. But Calfornia must take some position. What shall it be?! Shall you say that, because Nevada or Oregon says ratify, that you must forego the exercise of your.own judg‘ment ¢ Wﬁen election comes on, because your opponents tell you your ticket will 'be beaten, therefore you must take mine, are you to aceept, it? No, you reply, you voté.for yourself, on your own judgment, expressing your own opinion. When you so answer you maintain your own manhood and your American citizenship. ~lf true of an individual, what ought to be the teply of a great State? Reply in thunder-tones. The question is, is this' amendment right? If it be wrong, let the stamp of your condemnation be placed upon it. In truth, it is' not settled. The officials ‘at Washington feel its importance, and look with anxiety for your ac‘tion. If California and Oregon can be carried, they are sure of its ratification — without them -there is no certainty. They resorted to a trick to carry Indiana. Two-thirds of the members of the legislature are re‘i‘?imd to be present to ratify, but the journals on their face shows that there’ was| no quorum present. They sought to violate the constitution of ‘the United States. He did not know what might be done about it at Washinglon, It is said Secretary Fish. -will declare it a binding ratification. ‘He did not know the Secretary—‘whether le is/a fish that swims in the ‘clear waters of truth and fairness, or -in the turbid waters of dishonesty.— Indiana has not ratified. = (Applause.) “tion go' before the people of the State, ‘ot e s probibiog any clee. g ,és!:t@r’:iym;igp’nnny. “or_ municipal RIR i the change of front in the Republican. .. éFa the !ﬁ then ‘what ‘that platform said; the W*%%%@% St e thisie - Flo honed . snany wentblisase gHo howed many cupublicnss % 0! ’W’ > !i\ %}%‘? i Woos bty oladies. o 0 anlion: ot ih"ﬁ“” a 7 W’*’g;ﬁ‘» i ‘fﬁ?ﬁﬁ"ﬂw '1 é,, : T e 1,« J é@’;’

‘not mingle. If suffrage'is made universal it creates as once a social equality. . They must work -together at the ballot-box, at the committee on conventions, - creating relations - ner-. sonally offensive. If you goto Washington to transact any business at the departments, you will have to call upon a negro messenger, who will introduce you perhaps to a negro clerk. It, while in this city, any one: do yon wrong, if you go into . court , for redress, yow’ will go before a jury half white and half black. By special order of court last month, the mayor, in his message, recommended that all schools should be made commoen to whites and blacks; and no school should continue which refused admission to the blacks. s

Why should California wvote for the amendment and confer snffrage on ne%«:es and afterward on the Chinese? ey wish to add another race to this political community. The government was framed by white men, and wlfite men have maintained it for three-quarters of & century. -All the nations of Europe combined to make up the white race and constitute the mightiest people that tread.the face of theo.earth. - oo 3 e

Shall you_ udd this race to this political community ? - ;f 80, why ?— Will they add to' the intelligence or virtue of the ballot-bex? No!: Oan .any man vote the suffrage to the ne- : %no and not include the Chinaman 7— #Fhere is said -to be 2000, Chinamen, horn in the State, who will be'of age in four years; they will have the right to vote. If the XVth Amendment be adopted, ‘what is to prevent the Chinese from voting? | You are told the word white is’ in the naturalization laws. That word will be stricken out. If:you read the debates of congress you will find that manhood suff‘rage was the argument; Is not the Chinaman as'intelligent as the negro ? Don’t know about his virtne. If the negro ought to have the ballot to protect his property, why not the Chinaman ? It follows inevitably. Sumner has introduced a bill to strike out the word “white” from the laws. He always prevails and carries his ideas into legislation. The word '“white” ‘will not remain_ after you adopt this amendment. 'Why do ithey want' to pass this amendment ? It is necessary to secure their‘assistance in some of the States, as in Ohio and Indiana.— Are the people of Californis prepared to lay their hands upon 'the constitution of this ' country to pe:petuate the power of any party ? It ought never to be done. The constitation is bejng taken by the Philistines. Take it back this year, as far as the arm of California can reach.. It "can: be ‘brought back—the amendment defeated, Let it be defeated, and the old constitution retained amid the shoutings of glad men, and the I'ejoiciﬁgs of mugic’ over all the land. [Tt was to that constitntion California gave her adherence when she came into the. Union. & 3 Sl

Tof have power, we must stand together—onward, step by step, side by ' side, for the glorious purpose of restoring the government (ﬁ' our fathers. This government must be released from the plunderings and extiavagance of the party in power.— We, in Indiana, intend to stand side by, side and fight ont the good fight to the last. ' I recollect the rejoicing all over theland when the word came that Haight was elected governor.— We felt that California had taken a stand for reform and for better things. The S{Jeaker' closed with an eloquent appeal for all men to stapd united for the accomplishment of-this 'great purpose of the preservation of our free ingtitutions. e Bl aeile

The Senator was applanded frequently, and he closed his address amid loud cheers. i i . The Midnight Sumn, ' " The following is a description of the scene witnessed by Dr. Campbell and his party in the north of Norway, as they stood on a cliff, 1000 feet above the gea. The passage is unsurpassed in graphic beauty: ' ‘The ocean stretched away in silent vastness at our feet ; the sound of its waves scarcely reached our airy lookcut; away in the north the huge old sun swung low along the horizon like' the slow. beat.of a pendulum in the tall clock of grandfathers gar_lor.é'org ner. We all stood silent, looking at our watches. 'When both hands came together at 12, midnight, the full round orb hung triumphantly above the wave—a bridge of gold, running due north spanned the water between us and him. There he shone in silent majesty that knew no_setting. "We involuntarily took off our hats; not a word was said.

| TWO HUNDRED WHALES ON A | A Wonderful Fish Story—An Army of Whales off. ~ theHebrides Islands—The Islanders Turn Out | by Hundreds—The Most Successful Whale Fish- - ery on Reeord. i : | Hebrides Correspondent of the London Timés. This morning, at three ‘o’clock, while sleeping on board of my yacht, | in Stornoway harbor, I was awoke by a loud noise of men shouting and ham-. mering mear the yacht. I went on deck immediately, when I observed a | nymber of men in three or four boats attempting to drive a shoal of lﬁe fish (numbering perba'.lgs five hundred) towards the shore. The fish, which were evidently of the whale species, were blowing and constantly. rising tothe surface of the water; they turned toward the sea, and were closely followed by the 'boats. which shortly’ turned them again to the mouth of the | harbor. ~The movement was repeated several times, and after a while some other boats, well manned, made their appearance, i s The scene now became still more interesting, for the whales being more hardly pressed, made a brilliant dash toward the open sea, going away in a straight course for the oEengsea; The speéd appeared to be nothing less than forty miles an hour, the water.rising in misty foam as they cut their way through it. The course the whales: “were taking left little hope for the suecess of the pursuers, but coming suddenly upon a point of land which shoaled the water, a turn to the right brought then again into the direction of the harbor; an hour or two soon passed, and*the fishermen of Storno‘'way became aware of what was going on, and began to join the chase, and a dozen hoats were soon ia pursuit, the whales now making for the distant part of the bay, and again disappeared by the projecting points of land bending the course of the deep water, returned upon their parsuers again and again. { It was now nearly 9 o’cleck, and ‘ it appeared as if every human being in the town were bent upon making the capture of so valuable a prize,— Boafs containing men, women and children flocked to the 'scene of action, and soon fifty rowing and sailing boats were engaged ‘in the chase, and the rowers became exhausted by the tremendous exertions of long -continued and fast rowing of heavy boats; they. were relieved by relays from the people on shore, t#& numerous fishermen “who first joined in the sport were now ‘replaced . by bakers, . butchers, merchants, carpenters, women and children. The shops were closed and the town deserted ; and so the hunt continued. So 10, 11, 12, and 1 o’clock came, and certainly, if the inhabitants of the islands are as persevering and indefatigable always, . as they have proved themselves to-day, they deserve to be the most prosperous people in the world. - ' Not an instant were the whales permitted to rest; continually harrassed . from having been timid in the extreme when first attacked, they now became .careless of their enemy, and allowed themselves to be struck by the oars.as they rushed past the boats, to ezcape from the various creeks into which they had been pressed. At three o'clock P. M. they were disiodged from a position which they had maintained tg)r some hours in a distant part of the bay, or outer harbor, and were driven about a mile toward the inner harbor, Again they made several at: tempts to escape, but by an unlucky turn they rushed over shoal ground, and now the most exciting time of the day came. Maddened by | the difficulty of moving in shallow water, the whales dashed frantically from gide to side, raising the sea into violent breakers, as though a gale had: disturbed the .waters, rocking the small trading vessels to and fro as they approached. The boats now began to come up in numbers? the whales were blinded by the commotion they had created, thickening the shallow water. Having kept closely united during the whole day, the shoal now became divided; they seemed, as it were to become at once bewildered, and allowed themselves toi be goaded by the boats to the shore, ‘o be dispatched one by one by the fishermen. I will not attempt to describe what is still going on; suffice'it to say. that, as far as I can judge, and from the opinion of ' the fishermen; that there will be at least three hundred whales taken ; half that number are already killed and as many more are safe within'the harbor. The whales are, I | believe all of one kind, known as the bottlenose species; they measure in length from. ten o twenty-five feet.— The fishermen will make a great gain | by this prize, and they well deserve it | The chase from the first until they were driven into the harbor, lasted up‘wards of thitteen hours, commencing at 2 o’clock A. M., and the first being killed soon after 3P. M, ‘Tt is said to be seventeen years, since a shoal of ~whales has entered this bay so far.— The event of to-day has been the most exciting thing I have ever feen—a seene seldom witnessed, and one never to be forgotten. B s i ' Binee: writing the above, 1 learn that 175 whales are already killed.— evl T e, lel atippwards of £7OO. |

. Correspondence of the Louisville Erpress. . ' WESTERN CUSTOMS. How a Newspaper Man was “Corralled” by a Land- " lord’s Danghter, ' _ T'haven’t dated this letter, because I don’t know where I am: I am about nine miles from Julesburg, at ‘a little settlement on the South Platte river., At daylight to-morrow lam to cacth some of the finest salmon you ‘ever saw. 'They willnot bite at any other time .of day.. I suppose they learned this disagreeable hagit of early breakfasting from the “Ball Whackers,” who navigate these plains. I am stopping ‘at a little hotel about thirty by ten feet. The scarcest thing in this country is lumber, settlers having to pay ever so many dollars a foot for all they use, besides,. what they brought 'in their valises. . The landlord is from Penusylvania, and seems to be doing a thriving business. By ‘dint of harg talking and liberal promises, I got a room to myself. Itis just large enough for the bed and candle box set on a chair upan which lam writing this letter. llt isinone end of the building, and separated from- the next room’ by a bed-quilt, which you must crawl under to come in or go out. ~ Baut it is my room, and after the jolting I have had upon the Indian pony, lexpect to have a good ‘night’s— ; -

Was ever a poor pilgrim in such a fix? Justas I had written “nighs’s” above, and had sleep on the point of my pen, I heard a knocking on the floor outside the bed-quilt. “Crawl under,” said I. t

Enter the landlord’s daughter, a buxom young lady, about 17 years of age, I should judge. ' She opened her rosy lips and spake as follows :

“Mister, don’t take off your clothes to-night when you go to bed.” / uWhy ?" f ; ] 3 ; * “Because lam going to sleep with you.”. ‘= : : “Well, if you have no better reason than that—" - “Hush! Shet up! You told par that “you would not sleep with a man.” AR “I had much rather sleep with a wet dog.” . o : “Well, I have given up my bed to a sick man. I have been hard at work all day, and have to work hard all day to-morrow, and I can’t afford to set up all night. - That bed is wide enough for us both. T shall stay on the back side, and if you don't stay on your side, you'd better, that is all.” ] -

As she said this she raised from her dress pocket an infernal jack-knife, such as farmers use in . trimming fruit trets, and then let it fall batk with a chug., I comprehended the situation in half a moment, and unto this maiden quoth as follows: ¥ «Miss, young lady, your intentions may, or may not, be honorable. lam traveling entirely by myself. My natural protectors are miles and miles away beyond the boundless prairie; ‘iﬁnoraﬁt of the perils which may beset their idol. Thus far I have not been insulted by your sex. lam a man of a few words, but they are always emphatic. I will give you up a part of that bed, and that’s all I will go. If you attempt, during the silent watches of the night, anything, contrary to this firm determination, by St. Joseph, my patron saint, I will shoot you right through the midriff.” . “As I concluded, I laid a Slocum pistol upon the candle-box. A low ‘chuckle outside the bed-quilt gave evidence that paterfamilias had heard and approved the arrangement. = My antagonist laughed, and sayin% “Mister, I reckon we understand eac other,” bounced over to the backside of the bed. . There shé is now pretending to be asleep. I can’t do anything, Talk about the trials of the ‘earlier saints—-about being broiled over live coals—about being flayed alive—about being broiled in'oil. ' What was all that to all this.

Important to Heirs and Executors. Under the Internal Revenue law; property passing by will or by the intestate laws of any State, to heirs of deceased pefsons, and all real estate passing by gift, or in any manner whatever, without adeqnate consideration, from one person or corporation to another, is subject to a tax at a rate ranging from one to Bix per cent., and the law makes it the duty of the executor or administrator to make out and render to the assistant assessor having supervision of such business, a complete list of all legacies and distributive shares held by him, before the same shall be delivered or paid to the heirs ; and any person succeeding to real ‘estate in}&ny -manner, as above stated, is to make refurn thereof, to the assistant assessor in the manner prescribed by law. Any neglect on the part of a successor, to make the proper return will subject the property to:an increased assessment, and himself to a fine. It is also important to parties purchasing property gelonging to the estate of a geceaséd person, to see that the heirs or persons of whom the purchase is made, have the collector's receipt for the ‘government tax, as the government has a lien upop sqgh,f?@;gpgt;yfc)t‘all taxes due.

~ FOOTPRINTS OF TIME.—A writer whose life had saased its ‘meridian, thus eloquently discourses upon the speedy flight of time: «Forty years ago once seemed a long and weary pilgrimage to make. It now seems but a step; and yet along the way are broken shrines, ‘where a thousand hopes wasted into ashes'; footprints sacred under their drifting dust, green mounds where the grass isfresh with the watering of tears ;: shadows even which we.should - not forget. .We will garner the sunshine of those years, and with chastened steps and hope push on. toward the twinkling where the waters are still and the storms never beat.” .

- #rom the Ulevlland Plaindealer, Avg. 5. . SOCIAL IMMORAKITY, @ A Sylvan Pos toflice—Clandestine Meetings Re- . tween a School Superintendeutand a x&u--4 Pupll—Dllicit Intercourse—4 Decided Ses'Col. Barrett, Superintendent of the Union - School, at 'Biadisén} Lake , county, Ohio, has laid the foundation for a’newspaper sensation of the fiest water. That thie public may - know something of his antecedents, it will be proper to preface the story with some points eonnected with his history. - He came to Madison, about one year ago, from Newton Falls, Trumbull county, Ohio, with his wife and three children, to take chargeof the Union school. Prior to that time, he had been a successful teacher in different localities, and served with some distinction'in the army. His proclivities in the political arena were intensely radical, and in the religious world, lie was a member'of the Babtist Church, in good standing. Pos! sessing a fine education, and rather commanding presence, the Colovel invariably 1 made himself useful, whenever opportunity offered, in doing what he could toward ‘advancing the interests of his party and +Chureh. During ‘the last . Presidential ccampaign .he was Presidont. of tha Grant. Club. This position, with the situation at the head of the Union School, and at tbe'helm of a Bible class in the Church, placed him in the front rank of the prominent citizens of the place, where he managed to eclipse the brighter worth of better citizens by adroitly manipulating everything to his own advantage. He was welcomed and feasted on every hand.— Following the example of his great gift enterprise ' leader, the Colonel accepted numerous presents. -from his admirers, the articles including a handsome rifle, 8 com- | plete fishing tackle, and an elegant gold watch. Committees were appointed to visit Cleveland, when presents were to be obtained, that the ‘best articles might be culled from the most choice selection of goods. One of the presents, the gun, played a prominent part in the history of the case, as the sequel will show. =~ Bouth of Madison, six miles, there lives & quiet German farmer, who, for seventeen years, has taken commendable pride ‘in giving a lovely daughter all the educational advantages that his limited means would afford. - When Col. Bnrrettjcame“ to Madison, the farmer sent his daughter to board with the mew Superintendent last autumn, that she might attend the - Union school. She remained in Madison until the. following spring. Meanwhile, the quiet unassuming preceptor had won her confidence and the twostarted-upon a career of intimacy not sanctioned by the conventional rules of society. Though 85 years of age, his tall, commanding figure; black eyes and engaging manners had perfectly captivated his'victm. When the spring time came, she went to teach school about two miles south of Madison. At convenient ' intervales, the. Colonel was in the habit of going in the direction of her school, always taking his gun, ostensibly on a gunning expedition ; in re- | ality, to see the. handsome school “marm.” Brooks and rjvulets, babbling through shady nooks, wete not sought as tyristing places, but the deeper shade of ‘a deiiseforest concealed from human vision ‘the object of their meeting. . A hollw log lay near the retired spot. This log they improvised into a sort of post office. - Letters were exchanged through this medium, to: the certain 'knowledge of some parties in that neighborhood, for six weeks or more. Other people were in the habit of hunting in the same forest. One day a luckless hunter happened to- rest for a few moments upon the “hollow log. He discovered the post office, and examined its contents. He found that an appointment had been mace for that very day ; yea, that very hour. Concealing. himséif in a eluster of bushes, he awaited the issue. - Both came according to appointment. Mot nameaE soB When they went away, he came forth, determined to keep track of their future movements. From time to time he visited the hollow log, examined the contents of the forest post office; and observed the Tesult of these secret meetings. The matter came to the ears of the School Board through captured letters from the hollow | log. 'The Board and Church charged the crime. He denied it. ‘They produced the letters. He caved! For four or five days later; he left the place and has not been heard from since.. - His gun, fishing tackle and other presents, with his house-hold goods, have been seized to satisfy claims of creditors. The affair has created an immense amount of gossip, which is richly spiced with a few points” that may be indicated by stars ; they cannot be printed. = - (T A

The animal proceeded quietly throvgh -the streets otp the town, until nearthe slaughw‘-pen, ‘where,/ getting a scent /of the blood, he became furious - and unmanageable. -Hg rushed furiously down _thggggin . street: of the town, attacking every person and anything that came in 'his way. While proceeding in his mad course, he made an at: " tack upon a Mr. Icely, who »hatppened to be crossing the street in front of him, and striking him with his sharp horns, gored him ina most frightful manner, ripping open his abdomen and: chest, tearing n ‘portion of his langs out, and leaving his heart exposed in view, Another gentleAx‘p'::,l whose name we »ul;lhnot astﬁ‘rtpin, ared but little betteff as he was caught “between the heag‘eor ﬁmtmawnn%‘i‘ir ‘and a fence, and completely. crushed.— The maddened bruit then made a dash at three ladies who wefe standing in the ‘door of a millinery establishment, who escaped serious injur} and perhaps death by having the presene of mind sufficient to run into the hous# and’ close the door. Next: the bull encountered a projecting window filled with military gooss. Strikimg the window with his head, it was torn down, and the goods scattered in every direction. | Thé animal then turned his attention to a gefitleman on the street, who, seeing his dangpr, started to run for, a place of safety, clofely pursued. - Just at ‘this instant, however, when the beast was about to lower his head to strike his intended victim, the man fortunately struck his foot against a stone and ‘fell flat upon his face, and the bullock passed over hum, and made & dash for some one else.— Some of the citizens had recovered from their panic by this time, and had srmed themselves with rifles, and after shooting the animal seven times succeeded in kill- - ing him. A gentleman informed me this morning that Mr. Icely died from the terrible injuries received. When struck he ‘was near the school-house; and his blood was thrown #gainst the walls and into the windows.§ The children, panic-_ stricken, fled up Wairs. The other injured man is fatall hurt. ‘ £ Praise’Yonr Wife.
