BULLDOZING.

This new Term in Political Nomenclature Explained.

New Or.eans Times.

We«tfb6crve that many of our contem porarics got the word bu ldozed into 'heir dip itches and editorials as'^ulldogged." We gave the etymology of the word a few nwnths ago. It is a Louisiana word of negro parentage. Last spring, in the parishes' ot' East and West Feliciana and East Baton Rouge, large numbers of negroes began to join the Democratic party. The Republican leaders determined to put a slop to it, and formed secret societies for the purpose of whipping in the backsliding negroes. Among these Was the famous "Union Right* Stop at

Vlonnt Pleasant, on the river, which caused so much trouble and was finally broken up bvthe sheriff when their oaths b» -flaws and list of members wire captured. Their plan of action was to 6pot a canted man who was suspected of lemocmtic proclivities, then to serve a noticed on him to come to a certain point and take the oath of the brethren of the Union Right Stop If he did not come, thev served a second notice, til en a third •with a threat, and if he still refused a detachment of the brethren was sent after htm, at night, and he was broi^gbt in tied* aad handcuffed. He wis then told to* sign the Stop and take the oath. Usual-'! Iv terror made him comply* but if he refused he was put down and whipped with a.bull whip until he consented to join the league or leave the state. In very dbifiiute cases the brethren wene in the, h&bit of administering a bulTs .dose of! •everal hundred lashes on the bare back.j When dealing with those who were hard' tason t, active members would call out, "give me the whip and let me give the bull-doze." From this it became easy In say "that fellow-ought to be bulldosed, or bull dozed," and soon bulldoze bulldozing and bu ldozers came to be slang words. After the erposuw of the Union Rights Stop the Republicans of the stute sought to turn the force by appByiiXg the term to all sorts of intimidation. Hence, when they say they mean to exclude the "bulldozed parishes/ it simply means parishes where intimidation is alleged to have occurred.

SIXTY YEARS OF WEDDED UFE Tile Syracuse Journal ot Friday contains the llowing interesting general statem-'iits: "Mr. and Mr. Samuel W. Ketchum, old and respected resident* of thie cky, are to-day celebrating tlie six tieth anniversary of their marriage. They have resided here forty-two years. Mr. Ketchum i* eigl.ty-four years old, and his wile, Nancy, eighty-one yeirs and six months. They are both natives ot Suffolk county, in this state. They both enjoy good health, and Mrs. K.etchum up to this day has always done her own house-work The sixtieth anniversary of the marriage of Mr. an 1 Mrs Jacab Carson, formerly residents of this city, took place at their present residence in Rochester, Wednesday evening. Mr. G.irsoa eighty-three, and his wife eighty two 3'ears old. A sister of the bridegroom, who attended the wedding, her age w.is seven years, also attend :d the diamond wedding. 1 hero were present between sixty and seventy members of the family, including t.»ur chi dren, 36 grandchildren and 24 greatgrandchildren*^^

A DEAD MAN'S BROKEN PROMISE. A jury in Cincinnati has awarded $6,000 damages to Miss Elizabeth West, under the following circumstances as detailed by the Commercial of that city. he suit was brought against Enoch Hayes, son Joseph Hayes, one of the wealthiest farmers of Whitewater town *ship. The claim of the plaintiff was that

Enoch Hayes entered into a contract of marriage with her in 1873, but that the marriage was postponed without naming a particular day, and in 1874 he married a Miss Miller, bhe brought vsuit for $20,000. Since the suit was brought the defendant, Haves, died, and sit became a question whether the claim 'did not die with him, but Judge Burnet held that the law of Ohio was p.ain that the suit could be maintained against the personal representative of deceased. The defence denied a contract marriage, and said that Miss West was a seamstress in the family, being employed by Enoch

Hayes' mother. They relied on the fact that she was several years older than the defendant, but the jury seems to have taken a fferent view, and now the man's es-tate will have to pay the plaintiff's claim."

GRAFT'S GROWL.

11. severe punishment should be provided for the offense of assaulting any person in charge of ails, or of retiring ,,r otherwise obstructing them by threats ,r personal injury. A gratifying result is presented in the fact that the deficient of this department, during the last fiscal year, a reduced to .igairst 1(6169,938.88 of the prtcedinc year, 1 he difference can be traced to a large increa.-e in its ordinary receipts which /reatlv exce ded the extenuatis, therefore at a si it decrease in its expendilures. Tin or.linarv receipts of the Post Office department for the past seven fiscal years have increased at an average ol over eight per c.-nt. per annum while the increase of expenditures for the same period has been about 5 50 per cent, per annum and the decrease of deficiency in the revenues been at the rate ol nearly two p'*r cent, per anrum. The report ol the Commissioner of Agriculture accoti pa.lying this message will found one of yre.tt interest, making as it d.jes, the great progress of the last cen turv increase of produce of the soil, and of knowledge, and still in labor of producing saving and manipulating the same to pie are for the use of man in the improvement in machinery to aid the ag1 uiturists.in his labor -, and in kno.vledge of these scientific subjects necessary to a thorough system of economy in agricultural production, namely, Hieinistry, botany, and etvmologv lis report by those interested 111 agriculture and deriving their support from it, wifl find it of value in pointing out those articles which are raised in greater quantity than the needs of the woild require, and must sell, therefor. for less .than the cost of production and those which command a profit over the cost of production, because there is not an overproduction. I call especial attention to the needs of the department for anew galler for the reception of these exhibits returned from the cenlennial exhibition, including the exhibits donated by verv many foreign nations and *o the recommendations of the commissiener of agriculture generally.

The reports of the district commissioners and the board of health are just received, too late to read ther.: and to make recommendations thereon and are herewith submitted, The International Exhibition held in Philadelphia this year in commelioration ofthe one-hundreth anni

versary

of American Independence, has

jroven a great success, and will no doubt I je of enduring advantage to the country. It'has-shown great progress in the arts, sciences and mechanical skill, made ia a single century andd emonstrated that we: are but little behind the o'der nations in any one branch, while in some we scarcely have at rival. It has served too, aot «il.y to bring the people the products of skill and labor from all parts of the wotld together but on bringing together people from all sections of our country which must prove a great benefit in information imparted and pride of the country engendered. It has been suggest ed by scientists who are int rested in, and connected with the Smithsonia institute, in communication, that the goyerment exhibit be removed to the capitol, and a sutible building be erected or .purchased for its accommodation as a ipermanent exhibition. I earnestly recommend this and beleiving that congress would second this view, I directed that all goverment exhibits at the Ceateneial

Exhibition, shoi Id remain where there are exhibits such as might be

injured,

by remaining in a building not

intended as a protection ir„ ioclcmcnt weather, or such as may be wanted by the department furnishing thesn^ until the question of permanent exhibition, is acted on, allthough the moneys appropriated by Congress, to enable the participation ofthe several executive departments in the international exh bition erf 1876 vwere not sufficient to earn' out vtbe undertaking to the full extent, at first coa templated, it gives me pieasure to refer to the very efficient and creditable manner in which the board appointed from these, seveml departments to provide, an exhibition of the partaf the gowsmient.

They have dischared their duties with the funds placed at their command, without a orecedent to guide them in pneperatian of such a display. The success of their labors was amply attested by the ^sustained attention whida the contents ofthe goverment buildings attracted du ring the period of the exhibition, from both foreign and native people.

I am strongly impressed with the «alue ofthe collection

made

by the Government

for the purposes of he eschiDition. Illustrating as it does the general resources of tile country the statistical and practical «evidence.-" of our growth as a nation and .the u*es ofthe mercantile arts and the applied science in the administration of tfae affairs of the Government. Many nations.have voluntarily contributed their exhibits to tne United States, to increase the inteeest in any permanent exhibition Congress may provide f^r. For this act of generosity they should receive the thanks ofihe peopie, and I respectfully suggest a resolution of Congress to that effect bs adopted. The attention of Congress cannot be too earnestly called to the necessity of throwing some greater safeguard over the method ot choosing and deciding the election of a President Under the pr-sent system, there seems to be no provided remedy for contesting the election iu any one State, The remedy is partially, no doubt, the enlightenment of electors the compulsory sup tort of the free school and the disenfranchisement of all who cannot read and write the English language after fixed probation, would meet my hearty approval. I would not make this apply, however, to those already voters, but I would to all becoming so. After the expiration of the probation fixed upon foreigners coming to this country to become citizens who are educated in their own language would acquire the requisite knowledge of ours during the necessary residence to obtain naturalization. If they did not take enough interest in our language to acquire sufficient knowledge of it t« enable them to study the institutions and laws of our country intelligently, I would not confer upon them the right to enact laws nor to sit to those who do. I append to this message for convenient reference a synopsis of the administrative events, and of all recommendations to Congress by me during the last seven years. Time may show some of these recommendations not to liave been wisely conceived, but believe the larger part will be no discredit to the administration. Oue of these recommendations met with .he oppositi of one political party in the Senate and with a strong opposition from the

other, namely, the treaty for the annexa tion of Sac Domingo to the y. S. which I shall specially refer, maintaining as 1 do that if my views had been concurred in the country would be in a more prosperous'condition to-d IV, both politi ically and financially. Santo Domingo is fertile and upon its soil may be grown just those tropical products of which the United States so much and which are pro-

duced or prepared for market now by slave labor almost exclusively, namely, sugar, coffee, dve-woods, mahogany, tropical fruits, tobacco &c., about seventy-five per cent of the exports of Cuba are consumed in the Uniten States a large per centage of the exports of Brazil also find the same market there, all paid for almost exclusively in coin legislotion particularly in Cuba being untavorable to a nutual exchange ofthe products of each country flour shipped from the Mississippi river to Havana can pass by the very entrance Uj the city on its way to a portion. Spain then pays a duty fixed upon articles to be re-exported, transferred to a Spanish ves sel and brought back almost to the point of starting, paying a second duty and still leave a profit over what would be re :eived by direct shipment. All fliat is produced in Cuba could be produced in San's Dorr.iogo. Being a part the

United States, commerce between the island and the mainland would be free There would be no export duties on her shipment*, nor impor. duties on those coming. There would be no import duties 011 the sup plies, machinery, etc., going from the ates. The effect that would have been produced on Cuban commerce with these advantages to Amer ica is observable at a glance, The Cuban question would have been ettled long ago in favor of free Cuba. Hundreds of American vessels would be now advantag ously useJ in transporting the valuable woods and other products of the soil of the island to a market, and in carrying supplies and emigrants to it. The island is but sparsely settled, while it ha an are sufficient fo- productive employment of several millions of people Fhe soil would have soon fallen to the hands of the United States capitalists The products are so valuable in commerce, that efigiation there would have been encouraged. The emancipated race of the South would have tound there a congenial home, where their civil rights could not be disputed and where their lalbor would be much sought after. The test among them could have found means to go. Thus in cases of great oppression, and cruelties such as has been practiced upon :hem in many p'aces within the last eleven years whole communities would have sought refuge in Santo Domingo "I do not suppose the whole race wouitl have gone, nor is it desirable that they should go, their labor i* desirable, indi9pensaible almost where they now are, but the possession of this territory, would have left the negro master of the situation by enabling him to amend his rights at tome on pain of send ing them elsev*here. I do not present these views now as anecommendation for a renewal of the subject of annexation, but 1 do refer to it to vindicate my previous action in regard to it With the present Congress my official life terminates. It is not probable that public affairs will ever again receive attention from me, farther than as a citizen of the republic always taking deep interest in the honor and integrity, and prosperity of the whole land.

How aDeid 1$as Prevented. A strange event occured recently in France outside the village of Vesinet, on the Saint Germain line. About 8 o'clock in the morning two carriages arrived there, from each of which three gentlemen desended In the party were M. Charles an attorney's clerk, and M. Hem Dornegay, a gentleman off private

means, the object ofthe meeting being that the two might fight a duel. A dis pute had taken place "between ahetn the previous night in a restaurant, seconds had been chosen, and a01 the pre liminories arianged for an encounter outside Paris. It was observed that from the moment that the quarrel occurred, Dorneguy did not allow his passion to cool, b.it no one 'for a moment suspected that the matter would end as it did. The moment that M. Dorneguy saw his intended ant igoaist alight from his carriage he sprang upon him with a fury, and seizing him bv ilie throat threw him «n the ground senseless. This took place in the presence of the four seconds, who were too much taken aback at the suddenness 01 the act to separate the men before the assailant had inflicted serious injury on bis adversary. The wounded "inan wa* carried away bleeding and helpless. Before quitting the fiefd all the seconds expressed their indignation at the outrage which had been committed, but no legal proceedings have vet beerv the matter

AN ARAB GDJNCMNTO BUSINESS. A Philadelphian tells the story of a dischared Turk frjm one of the Oriental booths on the Centennial grounds, who remarked that "Py dam, 1 vill have to go pack in'.o de sherp cloding peesness." There are doubtless a number of these ex -Turk- who have resumed their former avocation in cig.ir stands and elsewhere. However, a genuine Arab eniered the mavor's office in this city a few days ago, and though an interpreter asked for a license to sell goods in this city direct from the Holy Land. He produced certificates from the priests of St. Catherine's church in Bethlehem that his articles are genuine productions of Palestine, and soliciting favors to him to promote their 6ale in this city. This man subsequently transferred a bank account from Philadelphia to Now York, and admitted that he had made ovtr {10,000 profit upon goods sold at the Centennial. His name is Salah Elleatin, and he is a bright specimen of an Oriental trader

MOODY AND SANKEY.

Cleaveland Dec.5 —The Herald Akron special has the following: San Jose Brienizer tried and acquitted last spring of robbing a United States express company's safe of $16,000 voluntarily appeared yesterday and confessed his guilt. The confession is sup osed to be the result of attending Moody and Sankey meeting in Chicago. Brienizer has restored to the company about $3, 000.

deavored as best we could, to quiet thie audience, and prevent a panic. I said to the people* "Be quiet we are between vou and the fire, the front door is open the passages are clear.'' Not one of the audience jumped on the -tage. The flames were then coming down on us.

I ran out and jumped over s.-veral people. Mr. Murdock, after endeavoring to calm the fears of the panic stricken people, went to his dr ssin^ room to get his clothing, and must have been suffocated.

J, W. Thorp, stage manage", states that the fire occurred thus: A drop was ignited from a border light oy some means inexplicable, as one »a$ guarded from the other. He immediately directed Stage Manager Carpenter Weaver, and two supernumeraries to endeavor to extinguish the fla.i.e, but the difficulty was to reach that part on fire.

The stage carpenter with supernvmeries, essayed to effect the object by low ering the drop, and in so doing added

FUEL TO THE FLAMES.

The scene in the last part of the play, embraced a ceiled apartment, and the in stant the burning drop came in contact with the inflammable ceiling, it served to spread the existing flames in a flash, as though powder had previously been scattered about the scenery.

The entire properties were in blaze. The usual avenues of escape were thus summarily closed at the rear, and the exit, if at all possible, had to be made by way ofthe box entranc-'. All except perhaps one or vo, IUS escaped. It is now believed t'.iat the number of dead will be about 125.

IDENTIFYING THE DEAD.

The Brooklyn Eagle, fur ishes the fol lowing in advance of publication. The work of identifying the dead will be difficult, for most of them are burned bevond recognition. The only mode of identifying, will be by pe sonal property attached to bodies.

Thus far it is only evident that the flames made common havoc with MEN, WOMEN AND CIIRLDREN. Shortly before 9 o'clock Rev. Father Hanley visited the theatre, and among the bodies recognized the brother of the Rev. Father Kylie. Father Kylie was present and identified the body of hi* brother.

The body was taken from the ruins charred and blackened beyond recognition. In the breast pocket of a coat were a number of cards bearing the name of Abraham Barnett in German text. The bodies are constantly being removed from the ruins, and are taken to the morgue as fast as possible.

It is rumored that a number of attaches ofthe theatre are burned. It seems certain, Charles Lott and his son, who were -stationed in the upper gallery are among the lost. The actors and the actresses escaped from the stage into Johnson street.

The Post lays At about 11 o'clock, a horrible discovery was made. In the middle of what was the lobby ofthe theatre, lay an immense pie of rubbish, smouldering beams, fragments of girders and other things. This heap was nearly opposite the principal entrance to the auditory of the theatre.

Beyond it was another heap, marking the place where the stairs which led to the gallery fell. Under the heap first mentioned a dead bodv was found and the firemen diligently prosecuted "heii search irf this djrecti n. With much labor some ofthe heaviest lumber was removed and a horrible sight was revealed Bneath that mound

heaped one upon another, and packed to gether with fearful solidity, which told of great pressure to which they had been subjected. How many lay theie, what their sex or age, no man could tell, and at noon only gues«es could be made.

Another actor, Claude Burroughs, is now reported missing Thus far, but 3 corpses have been identified those of Hugh J. Dover and Nicholas Kerley, 117, Til'ary street, and John Woods, 101 Fleet place.

New York, Dec. 6—The Brooklyn Argus states tnat up to 1 o'clock 95 jodies had been taken from the ruins others were still visible lying in layers four deep. The morgue is completely filled and bodies are now carried to tbb old market building in Adams St. They cannot be recognized.

At 2 otclock,, 115 bodies have been recovered, and there are probably as many more within the ruins. Some persons assert th it no one in the upper gallery af the thea er escaped. The last man that left the stairs before they fell.says behind him was the helpless and half suffo -ated crowd.

Great crowds of persons are gathered in the neighborhood of Morgue to identify missing relatives and friends, aid their lamentations are truly pitiful. It requires a force of police to keep them from crowding over each other.

The actors themselves had great difficulty in effecting their escape going to the back of the stage. Their advance .was cut off by the flames that played around the usual place of egress and struggled from beyond to burst open the door.

Miss Claxton and another lady Mr. Mathews and another gentleman, succeeded in entering the dark underground passage way to the box office and saved
