Tue Jiidgcaml the Pre i(!cnt The following extract from the Washington Correspondence of the in an Commercial, and in from the graphic pen of Don Piatt: 8POOSS TO THK FRONT. Of all the cunning old coves known to Immunity my belligerent Benjamin li. (Tappertit Miraheau) is the cunningest. If he is not sly, there is no uxe talking. .So, knowing this (iiialily, when the sly Ituiijmiiin procured tho appointment of tho inebriate Shu O'er to be Governor of Utah, every one was alive to see what lime game wui up. It will bo recollected of course it will be, for m not that Benjamin took hinory written ! New OrleaiiH, and all there was therein, assisted by his Shaffer. Now, Shaffer being in delicate health and iudelicatc in all else, had to be provided for, and so Ifis Excellency U. S. at tho bidding of 15. ., scntthcdelicate, indelicate S buffer to Utah us the Governor thereof. Jiul, what's thegoodofbeingdoyernor without your opportunities. To goto Utah, the land of locust and polygamous honey, and sttilo down in the pool of peaceful ipiietdra wingone's salary, one's pitiful salary, after tho hurly burly of big wars, and delights of'uiggerprofiis--litwo! Co half a dozen. Tho great Sliuffer muni have a war and J5., his master, was called upon to sup-pl- y him with a war. .Accordingly the cunning Bcnjaman stole into the coniuiitlce-rootof the Committed on Territories in tho House and beguiled the innocent Cullont, who resembles Grant inasmuch as he is weak of understanding but strong in good intent: beguiled the inoffensive ('ul-lointo a Mormon bill that if passed to a law would be the beginning of a very respectable war. Then when the bill came before the Cave, Benjamin arose in his plaee.and said.piously. "In the name of (J oil, amen, let us make war on the Mormons.for polygamy is offensive to the night of chaste Congressmen.'' But the Cava failed to gee it. While perfectly willing to satisfy their chaste souls by a sacrifice of the polygamous Brlgham, they were not prepared to wipe out tho trial by jury, the writ of habeas corpus and a few other little righta much vaunted, if not believed in by a radical Congress. So all tho war features were taken out of the bill and tho mere shell sent to tho Senate. Have I not recorded all this, and further how n that Senatorial Pumpkin Howard, and tho chaste Cragin, surreptitiously stole the bill from Ike Committee, of which the humorous Xyc, whoso gigantic brain is covered with a gigantic skull the detentions of which have been given to the world where did I leave ott? Oh! I forgotis chairman and reported tho saute to the Fogbank with nil tho war features But tha lfc.aUau.li icova Uanl to lesil a me Cave. When the chasto Cragin uttered his prolongcu howl, two Senators one drun k ml the other stupid listened, while Senator Anthony, who presided, engaged two doorkeepers to waken him up when Cragin ended. The Son-at- e was polled and found to bo in a more polygamous condition than the Cave. tome iunocent peoplo believe that this was the end of the Shaffer-Mormowar. Such people don't know Benjamin the belligerent. He took a little rest, and then be went at it again. Tho next news that reached us told of the removal of Justice C. C. Wilson, of Utah, and the Secretary. Now Chief Justice Wilson is known to Illinois and Utah as a man of fine legal attainments, and of unimpeachable integrity. Ho had been the one otllcial that had given general satisfaction to both gentiles and true believers. So soon as Judge Wilson's removal became known, the bar of Utah, and the citiieus of Utah assembled and uttered their earnest protcst,aad the Judge came to Washington for the purpose of investigation. Accompanied by his Congressman, Mr. Hawley, he sought an interview w ith the illustrious ooiumunder of General Dei t. able-bodie- d n ths rnrstprsT istkiiviewep. Judge Wilson wss ushered into the room where the Cabinot usually assembles. He found quite a number of people present awaiting interviews. The President sat at the end of the long table smoking his everlasting cigar. He never arose, nor otfered any one a chair, nor asked a man, be he Senator or doorkeeper, to sit down. But from time to time he opennd a drawer filled with cigars, and selecting one would light it from the stump of the old one and continue to smoke, saying little or nothing, only extending his arm like a pump handle to allow the favored visitor to give It a gentle vibration. Whon the Judge's turn came, Mr. Hawley introduced him and the executive was extended, for the prepump-handl- o sented official to work, gently, to the extent of two visible vibrations. "This is JiKlgo Wilson, of Utah," said Mr. Hawley. , , The Administration gave utterance to a grunt that might mean anything. The two visitors construed this into "sit down, gentlemen," and down they "sot," taking by turns the executive smoke that was pufl'ed by turns with vigor in lkeir faces. "Judge Wilson seems to have giren general satisfaction," said Hawley, "and he is desirous to know if any charges at Salt Lake City. Courts aro held not more frequently nor longer than one day in a year, iu the other district. There is no law prohibiting their coming." "But, said His Excellency, after a long pause, "General Shaffer charges that yon do not put the test oath to the applicant." "What is that!" "As to his being a Mormon, or in polyeauiy, "coolly said the President. "I certainly have not; I am not author ized by law to make any such test. The questions I have to ask are prescribed in lo many words, and I could as well ask a man if he had ever stolen horses, or believed in horse stealing, or refuse administering tho oath because the applicant was not sound on infant baptism or second marriage. I went to Utah to administer the law, and not to make, nor, above all, to break the law. If Judges are ueeded, in accordance with Governor Shaffer's wishes, to perjure themselves by violating the law they arc sworn to sustain, it is well to get me out of the way." During tho delivery of this excellent bit of declamation, His Excellency continued shooting pigeons with his eyes, giving the gentlemen to understand thereby that tho interview was at an end. Taking tho Lint, they arose, and Jud0 Wilson said: "I have some papers hero, Mr. President, I would like to have you look at." "It is not worth while," replied tho Administration, coldly. "I cannot continue you in office without removing Mr. I must have harmony among Shaffer. my officials." The two gentlemen withdrew, repeating sadly to themselves tho famous words of that wonderful inaugural, "The best disposition of au obnoxious law is to execute it." D. P. Turn lo I Moors lca(. A Cinrt HAND S FALLS by Wild Death of JcruiiU? Xnpolcon The telegrapt informs us that Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte, the head of the Bonaparte family in America, died at 2 o'clock on Friday morning, 17th inst., at his residence in Baltimore. Mr. Bonaparte had been suffering for some time from cancer in the throat. His wife's mother, Mrs. Benjamin Williams, of Koxbury, Mass., also died in the same houso two hours afterward. The father of the deceased gentleman was Jerome Bonaparte, the youngest brother of the Emperor Napoleon I. During the hostilities between France and England in 1803, Jerome, the father, was sent to sea, aud after cruiting some time, came to this port, and thence to Baltimore, where, on the 24th of December, ISO'!, he was married with great pomp at the Koman Catholic Cathedral, by Archbishop Carroll, to Miss Elizabeth Pat- terson, the beautiful and accomplished daughter of a wealthy and eminent ' merchant After the Empire was declared, Jerome returned with his wife to Europe; out as uis marriage had not Imperial sanction, the latter was not allowed to land in France. Napoleon had the marriage annulled by a decree of his Council of State, but Pope Pius VII. refused to sanction the divorce, and this refusal has been ever since maintained by the rupal Lourt. Mume. lioiiaparto went first to Holland, but not being permitted to lanu were, sue proceeded to England. On the 7th of July, LS05, at Camberwell, England, she gave birth to a son, who was named Jeromo Nupoleon Bonaparte, tho subject of this sketch. On Auirust IoOi , tne hmperor caused his brother Jerome to become a bigamist by marry ing nun to ireuerica Catherine, daughter of the King of Wurtemburg. On the lptn ot August Westphalia was erected into a kingdom, and the extravagant, Jerome was made King. , In when Louis Napoleor as sumed the supreme control iu Paris, Jeromo, who had been in exile at Vienna under tho title of Prince do Mont fort. was called back to France, made a Marshal of the Empire, President f the Senate, and, in the failure of direct succession to the present Emperor, h:ir to the throne. By his second wife, the Princess of Wui temberg, were bori Napoleon Joseph Charles Paul. Prin:o de Mont fort, commonly called Prineo Napoleon, and the Princess Mathilde. Jerome Bonaparte was always violently opposed to the recognition of prccccence for tho child of Miss Patterson over those of the daughter of the Khg of Wurtemburg; and refused peremptorily to acknowledge his son and his 'on's children by any name but Pattersoi. Jerome Napoleon Bonaparte was reared in Baltimore. He entered Harvard College, and graduated from that institution iu Mr. Bonamrte originally intended practising law, but the care of his large estates and his ove of agricultural pursuits deterred him from entering that profession. He was married In early lifo to Miss Susan M. Williams of Itoxbury, Mass., who was a lady of largo fortune. Ho leaves two children, a son, Jerome Napoleon, a graduate of West Point, now a Colonel in the French army, and another, Charles Joseph, born in 18o2. Mr. Bonaparte in his several visits to Franco was obliged to travel under his mother's name of Patterson. Still he attracted much attention from his singularly perfect likeness to the great Emperor. He has always been thought to resemble him more than the monarch's own brothers did. He was distinguished by the same shape of tho h "ad and perfect regularity of features, bronze countenance, and dark, piercing eyes of a peculiar tint. His figure, too, was cast in the same square, compact mould whL-we see iu the pictures of Napoleon. He was always very proud of his likeness to the great Napoleon, and increased the resemblance by being closely shaven. Apropos of this striking likeness to his undo tho Emperor, Jerome Napoleon, on his last visit to Paris, upon appearing in his box at the Boyal Italian Opera, was received by the vast assemblage, who rose tn mouse and welcomed him with shouts of "L'Empereur XupvUon U Grand!" In regard to the validity of Jeromo Bonaparto'8 first marriage, which, if fully recognized by the Court of France, would have given his son precedence over his and the Princess Mailable, there has been a great deal of controversy. The case is still pending in the High Court of France, being diligently prosecuted by the mother, the lovely Miss Patterson, the reigning belle of Baltimore in her time. She still appears remarkably youthful, and always speaks in terms of unbounded admiration of tho first Emperor, who so cruelly wronged her. X. V. Sun. INTO A MENA- The Muldktown (Missouri) Banner says: Tho little village of Middlelown was lately thrown into a painful fever of excitement, on the morning of May 12, by an awful catastrophe, which occurred to tho band lately attached to James ltobin-so- n & Co.'s Circus and Animal Show, and led by Prof. M. C. Sexton. Tho management had determined to produce something novel in the way of a band chariot, and conceived the idea of mounting tho band upon the colossal den of performing Numidian lions. Although repeatedly warned by Professor Sexton, that ho deemed the cago insecure and dangerous in the extreme, the managers still persisted iu compelling the band to rido upon it. As tho driver endeavored to make a turn in the streets, on the morning of the accident, tho leaders became entangled and threw the entire team into contusion, and ho lost control of them, and boeou'Iim tlirj biiiko Into a violent run. Tho ;l of the caee camo in contact with a large rock with such forco as to cause tho braces nnd stanchions which supported tho roof lo give way, thereby precipitating the band into tho awful pit below. For an instant tho vast crowd were paralyzed with fear, but for a moment only, and then arose such a shriek of agony as was never heard before. Tho awful groans of terror and agony which aroso from the poor victims who were being torn, lacerated by tho frightful monsters below, was heartrending and sickening to a terrible degree. Every moment some one of tho band would leap over the sides of tho cage to tho ground, with a wild spring, and faint away upon striking the earth, so great was the terror. A hardware store, which happened to stand opposite was invaded, and pitchand long bars of iron, forks, crow-barand, in fact, every availablo weapon was brought into requisition. The side doors of the cago were quickly torn from their fastenings, and then a horrible sight was presented to view. Mingled among the brilliant uniform of the poor unfortunates lay legs, arms torn from their sockets and half devoured, while the savage brutes glared ferociously with d their sickly eyes upon the crowd. fuljuJl, fore-whei- en-li- re s, green-colore- rrotessor Charles "Into arrived at this moment, and gave orders in regard to extricating the dead and wounded he well kuowing it would be a difficult and dangerous undertaking to remove them from tho infuriated monsters. Stationing men with forks and bars at every available point, he sprang fearlessly into the den amid the savage monsters, and commenced raising the wounded, and passing them upon the outside to their 'riends. He had mcceeded in removing the wounded, and was proceeding to gather up the remains of the lifetess, when the mammoth, lion, known to showmen as old Nero,; sprang with a frightful roar upon his keeper, fastening his teeth and claws in him, in his neck and shoulders, lacerating him in a horrible manner. Professor White mada three efforts to shake tho monster off, but without avail, aud gave order to fire upon, him. The contents of four Colt's 'avy'a were immediately poured into the carcase of tho ferocious animal and ho fell dead; and the brave little man, notwithsianding tho fearful manner in which be was wounded, never left the cage until every ves tige of the dead were carefully gathered together and placed upon a sheet, preparatory for burial.
